Goodbye (im won't kill myself don't worry)

 This last semester was weird for me, idk. I had a lot of health issues, colds and even i almost lost my right eye vision in an accident while i was playing football. And still worried by an uncle who become seriusly ill. Complicated things. By other side, finally i found the subject i most liked in the whole carreer: Geopolitic. I loved this subject cos' the teacher is very good, in fact he won the price of the best teacher in the carreer by second year consecutive. And of course the contents are very interesting: global history, nationalism, conflicts, culture, that kind of stuff. I had said before, i would like to do a posgraduate in geopolitics at the War Academy of Chile. I have had not many issues with other signatures, except for urban geography, i just didn't like that subject and i got bored very easily. In fact i have test of that later HAHA but i don´t worry too much cos' i have good marks to save myself. Im believe that i hadn't red marks yet, and my best ma

Something that i like to do outside

 Short answer: Football! Since i was a child i started playing in the "Kings Park" in Santiago with my father but i remember in that times i didn't like it too much, i was more interested in playing videogames on my old nintendo wii. I fell in love with football when i was around 10-11 years old. When my football team Universdad de Chile won the Sudamerican cup, so i started playing a lot at the school with my mates. Later my father inscribed my brother and me to Universidad Católica's football school here in Maipú. I hated that football team, but it was closer to our home (and all in my family are fans of universidad católica except me). I never sang the Catolica's anthem hahaha.  There i learnt how to defend and a teacher from there put me the nickname of "Maquina" (no ironically) cos' i was everywhere in the field. My golden era haha. However we won a tournament against others football schools (Our arch enemie was Palestino) so we went to play oth

Chilean Landmark

 Continuing the last post, today im gonna talk you about my favorite landmark that i have ever visited: Villarrica Volcano. San Pedro was great, its landscapes are from a mars movie. But the thing i most noticed there was the Licancabur volcano. idk volcanos are super interesting and in that moment i started to wish someday climb it. (I know that as a begginer i cant climb something like the Licancabur wich is at almost 6000 meters above the sea level haha so i had to start somewhere)     (Licancabur Volcano, San Pedro de Atacama) On December, 2019 i went to Villarrica with my family for vacations. During some past summers we often went there cos' its a good place for famlily vacations, a lot of things to do, you have the Villarrica, Lican Ray and Caburgua lakes, some good trekkings, hot springs, restorant and bla bla bla. Me and my dad always wanted to climb that volcano and by that time i was 18, so we believed that it was the right moment to do it. We hired a tour and rented som

I place in Chile that i would like to come back (i hope so)

 Chile has a lot of very beautiful places, from the north to the Patagonia region. Im lucky cos' i went to some interesting places , but the place i most liked it was San Pedro de Atacama. I went there in 2018 with my family. First we arrived to Calama by plane, after my father rented a car and the voyage started. One of my family's most fears in that place was the altitude sickness cos' Calama it located in the andean plateau at 2.260 meters above the sea level and San Pedro its even higher at 3.160 meter above the sea level. So we bought some coca leafs to eat. Fortunately nothing happened. The thing i most liked there was the landscape, i felt that i was in Mars! We went to the moon valley, some salt flats, hot springs and everything was awesome. The only thing i missed was bicycling on the moon valley, i think that would be an extraordinarian activity but by that time i was little and very young to do that things without my parents superivision.  One day we wake up at 4

My Great Grandfather

Imagen
 Today im gonna talk you about my great grandfather's history, the history of Ulisse Lari Guazzi He was born in 1900 (long time ago!) in an italian small town called Colorno  located near the city of Parma in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Since he was little, he started to work on the cheese making process in his town. Later in 1914 the "Great War" started and he was too young to fight but later in 1917 he was enlisted in the italian army. He never saw action in the frontline, instead his mission was to patrol a train station. The Italian army's logistics weren't good, and he suffered a lot of hungry during that time cos' there weren´t enough food rations. In fact, when my granma was a child and she didn't want to eat, he told her "you don't know what hungry is, when i was at the army me and my mates licked our boots to feel something in our mouths, because that boots were made of cow leather" . I think that its a little bit scary for a

English lenguage

 Hi budies, in this blog im gonna talk you about me and the english lenguage I share a lot of history with the english lenguage. I started learning it while i was four years olds in kindergarden. I had to learn very very basic things as the numbers and colours. Later at school i keep learning it in classes but i found that it was very bored of that system. I dont know, gramatical things and that kind of stuff are very boring, i found that it was easier learn english by listening music and playing videogames in english. I got good marks in the english signature thought all the school process, but even in that moment i didn´t feel i was learning a lot. By that time i knew that english it is a powerfull tool for searching work and travelling in the future, cos' english lenguage have this "lingua franca" status thought the entire world. And of course as a chilean we have a lot of britsh influence like the love of tea drinking and football. Last year i meet an interchange stud

A book that i recomend

 Hi, if your like history this its the blog for u :-) Today im gonna talk you about my favorite history book that i have ever read: "THE CRUSADES THROUGH ARAB EYES" of Amin Maalouf. I bought and read it around 2019. Obviusly it is about the crusades in middle east, but from an arab/muslim perspective based on the muslim chronicals of that period of time and after. The autor its very good at telling the history, he shows some fun fact as all the muslim leaders were not arabs, instead they were from turkish and kurd origin or a battle between a coalition of christians and arabs against other coalition of christian/arab people. Its a very good way to understand that historical process, in fact the crusades were a breakpoint from a historical view, at the begining the crusaders were normandians and practically barbarians but they took the best of the arab culture as the knowledge while the crusades were in progress. At the end, the muslim won the war but the other side (the west)

My Cultural Radar

 I've read the David Grohl's cultural snapshot written by Killian Fox at Feb 26, 2022 He is famous for being the musician leader of Foo Fighter band, and a member of the ultra famous band Nirvana along with  Krist Novoselic and the legend Kurt Cobain. He spoke about a lot of things, some music (obviusly), food, internet and media, commedy and Netflix's serie: Euphoria. It was suprising 4 me, that he love Euphoria and Zendaya, because i think that series and that actress are overrated as f___ (sorry my vulgar lenguage). I pray for the moment when that tendence will end. I think he likes that series cos that show is a drama with drugs and alcohol, and he as a 90' musician (and of course, mate of Kurt Cobain) saw by first hand that world.  Now im gonna show you six things that are in my "cultural radar" Indiana Jones: When i was a kid, i loved Indiana Jones movie series, idk i think their first three movies are excellent. Now much older i take a try again, and no

Aerosmith Concert

 Hi, today im gonna talk you about my favorite concert that i ever been. Im 22 and i have been at three concerts of relatively famous artists, Fito Paez, Wos and Aerosmith. This last one was the greatest, it was in 2016 and by that time i was 15 years old. I went with my father as my birthday gift. The concert was in the Movistar Arena near Parque O'higgins metro station. The only bad thing was that in that time i was a lot shorter that i am now, so' sometimes it was difficult to me watch the whole concert, but Aerosmith sounded aweosome, like in the band's videoclips. I loved that style of music, a mix between rock and blues with obviusly the good voice of Steven Tyler. Was my first concert in muy short life, and the thing i most remember was the song "Love in the elevator" and all the crowd singing the clasic "Whoa yes!" in the song's verses.  The temperature inside Movistar Arena was very hot because it is a closed space and lot of people went to

An interesting Trip (we almost die)

 Hi , today im gonna talk you 'bout one of the most interesting trip i ever had: The Enladrillado trekking in Lircay. Saturday October 29, 2022. Me and two cousins went to Talca to have a halloween's adventure in the mountains "near" there. The plan was get to "El Enladrillado" in the Altos de Lircay National Park at sunset. This place is a strange plain in the middle of the Andes Mountains, famous by UFO sighting, an ideal site for halloween.  But soon as we arrived to Talca's bus terminal, bad things started to happen. First of all, that day only ONE bus was going to Vilches (60km away of Talca), which was the nearest place to the park. We got late, so we missed the bus. We took other bus to San Clemente (30 km away of Vilches) and then we started walk down the road, and we got helped by some good people in their car and finally we could arrive to Vilches, around 2pm . We were laughing until we reach the entrance of the park, cos' the CONAF's r
