A person that I admire

A person that I admire is Margot Loyola, was an singer and researcher of folklore, considered one of the most influential personalities of the Chilean art world and who was a contemporary of Violeta Parra, was part of various groups such as Loyola Sisters, Cuncumén and Palomar, with which he bequeathed to the national culture a collection of CDs, books and videos.

She in their research, applied a method of pure anthropological and ethnographic style, this consisted in travel to  each village inside the country, collecting  and exploring  the cultural diversity of peoples in their musical and dance

She toured from Arica from Punta Arenas including Easter island, rescuing  songs and dances of our country that were not valued in her moment.


She won the National Prize of Musical Arts in the country in 1994, which I generated much admiration because  was  creating a legacy that persists to this day, also she have  won the respect in Chile and in the sudamérica for his  job.

see you soon !!!!

A place i would like to visit....

My favorite place for visit is " Cartagena de Indias" situated in "Colombia". I would like this place because Cartagena is an important historical city inside colombia,  The colonial architecture seen in houses, government buildings and churches, formerly, for the defense of Cartagena de Indias, King Philip II of Spain ordered the construction of walls, forts and castles, which still exist and are an attraction for tourists who visit, also multiculturalism is one of the things that attracted the most attention, his past of people slaves that  was mixing  to form a cultural syncretism very interesting in his  music, in  his  culture and his vision of life.

Cartagena de Indias  have an beautiful Caribbean, with its colourful  crystalline waters, added to this  the weather is very nice at all year, making it more attractive.

I hope to know this place soon !!!

see you 

Movie Avatar ....

my favorite movie is Avatar,I like it because this movie have very good plot, also I love the storytelling and concepts in Avatar, In that respect,I think I for spectacle, excitement and just plain fun, it really is a great movie,  cool, shiny,  and I love the characters,, the intelligence, the themes, and the world.

I  saw  the movie for first time in 2009 when I went the cinema to see it, this movie is created by James Cameron and account a history about Pandora, this planet is invaded for the human for getting a mineral very expensive inside Pandora

I usually see Sci-fi  films because It´s very imaginative, also  scientific developments, or by fantastic special effects. Sci-fi films are complete with heroes, distant planets, impossible quests, improbable settings, fantastic places.

the film  most recent that I saw was is Insurgente but I don´t like the trama because the movie is slow and convoluted understand it.

SEE YOU !!!!!!

I would like stop the time

This photograph was taken in july 2014 in Easter Island, Rapa-Nui. My friend lives in Easter island and she took this picture with de monolithic human figures carved from volcanic rock,(know as Moai). Rapa Nui’s mysterious moai statues stand in silence but speak volumes about the achievements of their creators. The stone blocks, carved into head-and-torso figures, average 13 feet (4 meters) tall and 14 tons. The effort to construct these monuments and move them around the island must have been considerable, this photo is the ahu tongariki, the most large in Easter Aisland.

I like it this photo because I feel part of  the millenary culture Rapa-Nui, the songs Rapa- Nui I like it too because the songs tell the history about moments lived on the island,  also in the present I am  in a group of  Rapa-Nui and I will travel with my group to paraguay in final the september.

see you !!!

My favorite music..

The kind of music that I like the most, is the music from the Easter island. I begun taking classes of Rapa-nui music on 2014 when I went to the Easter aisland for 1 week in July.
This music is very interesnting for me, because I feel a special connection with this music, the pronunciation is very difficult and complex, because it´s in another language, polynesian language, also this music tells the history and different events that tool place in the Easter Island.
At the moment I´m in a group of only Rapa-nui music, its name is MARAMA wich in spanich means knowledge, I play the guitar, ukelele and sometimes upa-upa, wich is some kind of accordeon.

The other kind of music that I like is pop , I specially like it when I go to a disco, this music is very fun and upbeat, I sometimes go to clubs because I like dancing to pop music.

* this is my ukelele, polynesian instrument.

My favorite piece of tecnology :

hi! I am going to talk about my favorite piece of tecnology that is my  Ipad. I got it at Christmas last year, it was a gift from my mom for having approved all my subjects of the first year of Public Administration. I use it regularly, almost every day, to read the texts of the classes, review the power points and check my e-mail. Also in my free time I use it for play and distract I like it because it has many functions, many applications can be downloaded and take pictures. I can use it to study both to play and watch series. Addition, its design is small and comfortable, I can carry to every places. My life without this object wouldn´t be normal and I would have to use my computer more often, not terrible but is less comfortable.

about at the university .....

In first place, my subjects are: administration accouting, political sciences, human behaviour, macroeconomics and english 3, there subjects are very important for the structure de my degree , also this subjects allow you to decide the practical focus, they are 2 options: in first place politics and in the second place public management. in my case I prefer de public management.  I would  like jobs in various areas like: projects, public finance or cultural management.

At the university, I participate in the culture secretary because I like it and is very entertaining for me, we meet every  wednesday since march.

My expectations for  this new academic period are many, as this year (my third year)  is very crucial in my degree, consequently  I hope to finish this year very well, therefore I must attend my classes every days.


see you soon .....
