Fiestas Patrias

Well, Fiestas Patrias were very excited for me and a very nostalgic moment because I travel to my town and I spend a lot of time with my family and friends. Personally I didn’t have a lot of time to stay at home and sleep a lot because I stayed a lot out of my house walking with my friends, on the cinema with my sister, or in the Fondas with my family. I went there on Saturday and the road was collapsed, I stayed on the bus like 8 hours, then I went to my grandmother’s house and we eat a lot of empanadas. Then Sunday and Monday I went to fondas and was a great time to shared experiences with friends that I didn’t see in a lot of time. Fiestas Patrias for me, it’s a time to eat a lot and this year was not an exception. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I spend my time with my family, especially my sister and my friends. Then sadly I had to come back to Santiago because I had a lot of work to do, but the time that I stayed in my town I enjoyed a lot everything. 

Something You Did Last Weekend

Last weekend was really an effort weekend, because my workshop didn´t stop the activities with the strike so we had to work at home every day. I remember that Friday afternoon after workshop I came out with my friends and we just walk through the city and It was so relaxing and I just needed to clear my mind and enjoy because the whole week was exhausting. Saturday I stay at home doing work with wire, but the happiest thing in the day was not wake up with an alarm. Work in my house it’s just amazing because I live alone so I have space and I can put the music that I want with a lot of volume and sing it loud. Sunday I did a work with two of my classmates of workshop and It was good because I felt very comfortable with them and they have similar ideas and perspectives of the workshop so work with them it’s great. Then I went to my house and sleep a lot cause Monday the classes came back to reality after the strike.

A concert or an exhibition

To be sincere I didn’t go to a lot of concerts or exhibitions, or a big concert of a very famous artist but I really want to go to a concert in the future. Like I said before in another blog I play and instrument so that gave me a lot of possibilities in terms to go and listen orchestras. But there is a concert that I will never forget and was on 2009. The concert that I speak about was a presentation by orchestra of university of Concepcion and they played movie soundtracks. My biggest passion in life is definitely movies so go and hear and see a mix of movies and music was one of my best concerts until now. I remember that I was like a little baby listened the orchestra. Then when I grow up in terms of music and I played music that was played in that concert always gave me a nostalgic sensation of “wow, years before I only can listened it and now I can play it”. So that’s one of my nostalgic concerts but like I said before I hope to go to a lot of concerts in the future and enjoy them a lot.

Free Post

Well, nowadays when I have time for me, the only thing that I think is sleep, and eat. But when I cannot eat or sleep more I search for a new movie, book or songs to relax my brain of architecture things. Months ago I heard about a new adaptation of the book “It” by Stephen King and a lot of people speak about this book and the nightmares that produce it. So I started to read it in my free time, when I go to my house and when I can’t sleep for different reasons. I didn’t finished “IT” but I’m reading the final chapters so I think I have the opportunity to recommend this book. “It” is about a group of children with similar lives who shared a nightmare in common… “It”, and they have to defeat this creature and stop al lot of death on the town Derry. After 27 years they come back to Derry and finish definitely with “It”. This book speaks about a lot of topics, bullying, violence, abuse, discrimination and also friends and love. It’s definitely a long book but when I started to read it I like it a lot. So when you have time I recommend you to read this book.

Something Artistic You Like Doing

Well, I think that music is my most artistically expression. Since I was 10 years old I start with music instruments, maybe because my friends joined to the guitar workshop and I wanted to spend more time with them, but a short time later I noticed that I was good to learn music in general. I was in the guitar workshop for one year because next year the school cannot pay to the guitar teacher.

But a couple of months later I hear that a new musical workshop in the school started, the orchestra. To be sincere, I was not very excited with the orchestra, I thought that it will be boring but after all I loved it. My director gave me the option to choose an instrument but I didn’t know about the classical instruments so I choose violin. He said that I would be better in another so he gave me a viola. I started when I was 12 years old and I continue playing when architecture give me time. A lot of people and friends advised me to continue with viola but in a professional way but my love for architecture was bigger. I enjoyed this instrument because it’s unique in the sense that just a few people know about its existence and only a few of them play it. And Finally I think l love music because I realized that it open a lot of doors if you are good and you put all your effort on it.

A family photo

The photo that I choose was taken on January 2015 and was in a special and unique moment because we were in the United States with my orchestra. I choose this picture because it was a special time of my life (probably our lives) because it was the first time that I go to another country. The people in the photo were my partners, my friends and my family at the same time, we shared a lot of experiences together and for a lot of years, maybe five or six, so we grow up together, we learned together and support each other always. This photo bring me in a nostalgic zone because a lot of us finished school and toked different ways, to different places to live different stories so we can’t see each other frequently but anyway there are some opportunities when we are in the same place so we talked hours and hours.. In the photo appear my mother and my sister to, who travel with me and was so great because we were in a different place but with them I felt in home. Finally, that trip was interesting and I think that… in some way it helped me to choose architecture as a career.
