My life these days

Actually in my academic life things has been some complicated, in fact  i didn’t want to back to class, because is our last semester with presencial class and subjects,  so I don’t think  that we could exploit it in 100% with the rate that we must take, also we must do big jobs for every subject and maybe we will cant do it good, but I’ll do my best. Anyway I think that we have goods subjects, very interesting and aplied.

In other aspect of my life I feel happy because Christmas is coming, and I like this time of year: decorate the christmas tree and the house, buy gifts, look for clothes to wear  these day, think about what to dine the Christmas night, and many things more. I feel happy when I give gifts and when my friends or family give it to me, although sometimes I give useless thinks but with love ;)

Well, In my free time I like to be with my partner and with my family, go to the cinema, go to dance, to the gym and cooking. And when is the training day I really enjoy play table tennis, I am still learning so the guys use to win me but I hope to win them some day, they are really good.

My neighbourhood

It lies in the limit with Santiago Town, but it is in San Joaquín, in a condominium whit 4 floors building. There there´s common spaces like square and parking that everybody can use, even visits. Even though is a enclosure condominium, no body limit entry. Most of the people who lives there is old people, and even though are buildings many of we had pets, principally cats and dogs.
Close to this zone is located the “Persa Bio Bio”, there the dealers sell all kind of things that you can imagine, from antiques, clothes, pets to food or technology artifacts, but this place is really dangerous, there are many thieves.

A nice detail out of my house is that I have a bike line that bring me almost right to the university, and most time is faster than take the public transport. Although the busses that pass by my neighbourhood take to many places that I use to go or to the Subway (that is not so away).
In my neighbourhood there is many stores, there is bakeries, off licenses, Newsagent´s, fast food  and  fruit and vegetable store, one close to the next  in the same sidewalk!. Just around this corner there is a drugstore, a hairdresser and two call center.  Even banks, but those are a little bit away. Too there is a primary school, and two street  down there is a plastic factory, a gas distribution and a big industrial warehouse.

So I have many services close to my house, but what I dislike Is that people don’t care about the environmental and you can see the trash in the street always.  Is not nice, some time the garbage cans are full and the trash go out of this. PUAJ!

My Puppies

Today i will write about my Little doggies. Everything begins when i move to my new home and I did has to be alone a long time in the night because my mother works in the night time, so my mother’s boyfriend bring me a little female dog race pincher or miniature doberman, and my mom called her Niña. Then arrived a poodle toy, she was called Blanquita, she was a funny doggie, skinny and lovely, but then visited to my godmother and stolen her, I hope she´ll be fine  =(  Wherever…  later (since eight month ago) Niña calved three little doggies with a chiguagua, they are called Romeo, Homero and Ícaro, but Romeo was sold to a neighbor so I see him sometimes, and now I have to Niña, Homero that is a faaaaat and scary dog (he pee when I want to take him)  and Ícaro he is the littlest of the litter, everyone wants to take him  because is really beautifull and funny.

In fact this summer my mother, Niña, the three puppies and I went to La Serena and Punta de Choros and everyone looks them and wants to caress them, too ask us if we sold them, and everyone laughed when all my doggies barked to one bigger dog and this last run for his life.

Now they accompany me when I am alone, turn happy when I arrive to my home and sometime Niña even laugh because I am in home. But sometimes they bark in night and this is annoying.

Anyway I love them!!

anything

Talking about free, some of the things that i do and make me feel it is sports.
My favorite is cycling, makes feel free because I can go anywhere I want and that I don’t need anything else that my chancha, I feel cool when there is traffic jam and I advance to the cars, makes me feel alive, that I have my body and I use it. Unfortunately I don’t have my bicycle in home, so I have lose the habit of cycling, just I use it one or two times at week, I miss her but also is cold in the morning >_<
Another thing that I like to do but I have not made for a loooong time is trekking, the last year I used to do it with Amaru, we went to the Pochoco hill, we arrived there at ten in the morning and we were at fifteen in the afternoon in the house, this was really tiring but very stimulating, Also when the days were good and with few pollution you have a great view of Santiago. This is a sport subject that you can take in FAU is really recommended.
Finally I must say that my favorite sport now is tennis table, I use to practice it Tuesdays and Thursdays in FAU, I am not so good as many girls that play it a lot, but I enjoy it too much when I do it, also is really stimulating and makes me feel with many energy and happy.
I think that there are few people that practice sports in my generation and this is an invitation to everyone to looking for someone what you like, there are a lot and for every liking.

Lican Ray here we go!

My best holiday was at Lican Ray this year, a lake that lie at the Araucania region. I went with five friends and my partner. We stayed in a hut fully equipped for 8 days long that was close to the lake, so in the day we had lunch, seen “Oro verde” and then we rented a little boat and we gone to center of the lake where we swum, or arrived at an isthmus to rest. Through the night we gone to the principal plaza to buy somethings like food or something to drink, ah! And too fillings “churros” (it was so good), then in the house we cooked some tasty food and then we played “UNO” and drink something or gone to the lake. I enjoyed this so much because were the first hollidays without family, just friends and with my partner. We could do anythink we wanted at the time we wanted, also I love to swim and the lake was wondefull, crystal water, few people, a beautiful place, my friends funny, good food, good drink (although one night we tried to make a drink with blueberries an cachaza, but did´nt works).

Wherever, this was my best holiday, was a really nice place, you should go to meet it ;)

Latin American stereotypes

I think that in Latin America stereotypes exsist , those are based especially in the clothes they wear, the food they eat and them traditions, and one characteristic typical is the accent to know about which nationality i’m talking about. One stereotype is the colombian, everybody think that they have relation with drugs and guns. Another is the bolivian, they have de characteristic that are attached to them culture, with them clothes made of wool and everybody know that they talk right, like peruvians. I think that the stereotypes exsist because when we try to characterize some of those, everybody know about how i’m talking, for example i f i say that one latin american is a womanisers, where you’d say that he is from?

I think that other Latin American countries view Chileans like sopportive and nice. I have listened that sometimes the foreigns think that we talk fast and they dont understand easilly.

About the stereotypes of diferent groups of chileans i think that this could be accordinto the region (noth, central, south). I think that too there is stereotypes in the young population, about the diferent styles, like Pokemones, skaters, punkies, gothycs, metalers, emo, hippies, etc, this is more relationated to the clothes they wear and the music they listen.

Playa Chica – Cartagena

Maybe almost everyone think that Cartagena is a “flyte” place, and in fact i think the same but now im talking about the beach called Playa Chica. As his name say, this is a really little beach, has a length around the 365 meters, his bay has a position with respect to the marine derive that give him a reflective condition, so this is a quiet beach generally. Also I like the landscape around the beach, there is a castle in at the north of it called Ferreiro built around the 20’ that is really beautiful but is left and neglected. At south of the beach there´re another bay and some creeks, that have beautiful vegetation that give it a nice detail. I think that because of this it is full in summer. What I don’t like is that the sand is dark, there is a little river mouth from I don’t know where, the people don’t care about the garbage (sometimes even you can find pieces of broken glasses, so dangerous), also the people sometimes is not nice (they are flytes and it intimidates me), but… well I think that this beach should be more cared for everyone of us to change the image that the people has of this and make it nicer.

The  last time I went was almost one and half year ago, with my friend and classmate Luis, and the last time y swam there were in eve of the earthquake, was fun because the waves were big and we tried to survive.
