To be honest, I don't have a single favorite photograph, because it depends a lot on what that image means to me. It can be about a fanaticism of mine, a special moment with my loved ones or a moment that marks an important event in my life. On this occasion I will speak about the last category. Unknowingly, on Friday March 13, I took one last "outside" photo before being locked up for a few long months because a pandemic that until then seemed just an internet meme. I remember very well how in just a couple of days the virus spread almost everywhere in the world, and just 3 days after I took that photo in my village street, the quarantine in Chile began. It's a picture of an illustration in the streets of my city, innocent and childish. A street that until then was alive. It's always crossed by families, dogs and groups of children playing, rather than by cars. How have the children who participated in the pandemic dealt with it? Perhaps they never im...

If I could, I would change many things about this career and specially about this faculty. First, I would make the sections of taller more similar to each other, because they are too different in habilities, so it´s hard being prepared to the taller of next semester. Also, something esencial for me is that teachers are trained to teach. The past semester I had a very great architect like teacher, but she was a very bad professor, why? Because she didn’t know how to explain things, even she excused herself with “architecture is difficult to explain”. I’ve always thought that if you don’t know how to explain something is because you really don’t understand it, so why couldn’t she explain to me how to learn about the space? Why are my parents paying for this university then? Btw, this semester I have a awesome teacher in taller, she’s always ready to teach and I feel bad about feeling grateful for having the basic in education that supposedly should be the best in Chile. Anyways, I kn...

For my holidays I would like to do the "Carretera Austral" tour with my family. It's actually a plan we've been thinking about for a long time. A couple of years ago we did the tour by car from Santiago to puerto montt, we visited some cities along the way such as Valdivia or Villarica. At the end of our trip, I remember we scored the cities according to the categories "entertainment","food" and "beauty". In the end, to surprise of no one, valdivia won and Santiago lost lol Btw, we had such a good time that we wanted to repeat it, but this time with the "Carretera Austral", because my sister and I have never been to Punta Arenas and want to know it. I'm excited to see new cities, because from Puerto Montt to Punta Arenas I know only a couple. Walking is one of my favorite things to do. Just knowing new places and being where I've never been before fills me with joy. That's why whenever someone invites me ...

 A couple of years ago, in 2019, I was procrastinating on YouTube and for those circumstances of life I came down with a video titled "songs that no one can hate". Then I clicked it with the idea of judging the songs and check if no one of those were hated. And this is the way I met my favorite song until today: Welcome to the Black Parade. From the second one, with that simple "g-note" of the beginning, I liked it. And the more I heard the song I love it more. The sound, the letter and the Music Video made me feel genuine and deep emotions. This song is from American rock band My Chemical Romance's third studio album, The Black Parade (2006). The music video was recognized as MTV's "Greatest Music Video of the Century" in 2017. So, what is this album about? passage out of life and the memories we have of it. In short, it's a conceptual album on how to face death and, even if it doesn't look that way, life. "The Patient" dies and ...

 Good morning! I really don't know about architecture courses, I have been pending to spend the semester so it's hard for me to think about the future Lol Btw looking the internet, I think the degree matters I would like to choose are related to sustainability and care of the environment. I don't remember if I mentioned it in previous post, but I would like to professionally dedicate something to be used for the world and the people who live it. I feel that this society has many problems that we are all conscious, but very few do something about to change it, then if I can make my contribution even if it's very small I will. I'm not throwing away my shot as Hamilton said HAHA I would love to leave the country to study, I love traveling and knowing other cultures, so (actually, I like to change my environment a lot). I would prefer to do the course in Spain above other countries, why? Because I don't like speaking english lmao (ironic that I say it in that langua...

 As I mentioned in previous blogs, I am currently studying architecture. However, I have not mentioned the area that I would like to be my focus, and it is that I would like to work in anything that can make a change. For example, I would not passionate to work in designing homes compared to design social housing or sustainable constructions. I feel that I would feel much better with myself making something beneficial for the world, give my granite of sand. And of course I would like to travel, I think that of youth is one of the most rewards dreams. And well, for that I need money, yk? As far as necessary to have a high salary or at least comfortable for me. One of my plans is to live in a house projected by me, so I would need a more stable economy. Anyway my objectives don't really sound very dreamers, I just ask to be able to travel, to make me my own home and work on something that can be important for the development of society. And I'm sorry for the short extension of my...
