Changes to my Study Program

 Hello! 

First, I want to talk about a little of my career. Actually I am in third year of Engineer Forestry in the University of Chile, a career relatively new into of all careers of my university, was created in 70´s from a inicative of a agronomy teacher. Since the creation, the study plan has been envolving with the advance of knowledge and social changes around the world. In this way the focus at begin was the production of wood without contemplate the nature like an everything, filled of interactions between the biotic and abiotic components. In the actually, the curriculum have subjects thar are interested in ecology, ecosysem services, comodities not only of wood but also of non-wood forestry products.  



At this point, I would like clear out that I really like my career and the study program which includes subjects related to conservation and restoration of the enviroment affected by the climatic change because of the human activity. However, the global health situation has forced me to keep us at home, having all classes of a telematic way, that has caused postpone all practices including the summer ones. For this reason I think the university must create new instances for realize that outlets. 

Other changes must include the actual contingency in redaction of Chilean constitution like enviromental policy and education of that. Also, subjects for the relationships between the communities and academicism.

A person I would like to meet

 Hi everyone

In this blog I must talk about a person that I would like to meet. Everybody surely wishes or wished to meet a person, some people for love of that person others only admiration for them or simply beauty. 

In my case, the reason I would like to meet a person is an admiration for his qualities as a musician. His name is Aldo Asenjo known as "el Macha" and he has proliferous career in different music groups. Playing from punk to "boleros" like Chilean folklore music.


This person is from Villa Alemana in the 5th region of Valparaíso, Chile. He started his career in a group called "La floripondio" from the same place where they played punk, ska and reggae music in the 90's, they became the first group that played these music genres. Particularly, I love this music, especially the SKA genre.

Then, he continued his music in another group and where he became well-known by all the people of Chile and South-America. "Chico trujillo" was a revolution of Chilean cumbia and they called this genre as "Cumbia Chilombiana" due to the Cumbia music from Colombia. 

Finally, "Macha" and his musicians created "Macha y El bloque depresivo" where the music turned more sentimental, they took the classic old music of Latin-America for their covers and own songs. 


In this way, Aldo Asenjo is one of the major exponents of music in Chile. Taking a little of everything and into a nice music sauce when listening. Also, due to his long career and his characteristic outgoing personality, he has won uncountable awards in Chile and the world, touring everywhere.

POST 3: My Favorite Children Program

 Hello again!

Today I'm going to talk about of my favourite children program which is "El Chavo del 8". I watched that series since I can remember on the TV of my home. I watched that program every sunday in the morning, after I woke up having breakfast with my parents. I remember having been eating egg cup watching the TV enjoying the program.

I love the characters especially the protagonist "El Chavo" who had many funny and deep characteristics. He lives in a barrel and was an orphan, but the community adopted him as one more of them and that was an attractive characteristic that attracted me. "Kiko" always bothered to him and the "Chilindrina" defended him or also "El Chavo" innocently smashed something, "Doña Florinda" thought that "Don Ramón" made that and slapped him on his face, then "Don Ramón" hit "El Chavo" and he cried. 

In the background the program was created to show the identity of Latin-American society, especially the Mexican one with its idiosyncracy I could´nt see how the social relations were in a place far away of the modernity in Europe for example, and see things with a simple perspective.

POST 2: The Best Concert

 Hi again!

Today I´m going to talk about of the unique concert I have ever gone but that no means my best concert. The event of I'm talking about is Romeo Santos concert in 2015 in Estadio Nacional of Chile and I was in the nearest zone at 30mt of him. 

The truth is that before saw him I didn´t like very much but I decided went because it was invitation of my exgirlfriend. The concert was good and I recognized some singles of him like Infieles, Ella y yo ft. Don Omar and Amor de madre, the show had prepared very good with dancers, second voices and escenography. For moments I tried dance but I discovered that dancing is not my thing. In a moment, the fans were uncontrolled and many jumped grids from gallery to VIP zone, was funny. 

Therefore I enjoyed the show but I would can go to more concerts now and have fun with my favourite music.

A country I would like to visit

 Hi there! 

Today I'm going to talk about a country that I would like very to visit a lot. That country is Irak and you probably ask me why you want to go there. Well, my principal reason to travel to Irak is for the history beside it. The first civilization settled between the Tigris and Eufrates rivers. The Mesopotamian civilization existed twelve thousands years ago and carried out very long history expressed by architecture, tools, customs, among others. 

I would like to travel to find a new different culture  to mine including the persons and animals, look the old buildings and trace that they left. Although, my visit to that country will be short, I wouldn´t like living or studying there, because the actual location where the civilization settled, is crossed by a complex political situation. 

In summary, I would really like to visit that country only because of its history, specifically the Mesopotamian civilization.

The site is a complete information place about the nature lovers and people who wants to find out about our enviroment especifically in the zone of south america but extrapolable to everyone, it has useful and entertainig content that you find in articles, photos, catalogues for your travel, news and talks as well as products and services the they offer.

The reason I very like this website is because the content that they brings is cross-cutting and easy to understand for all people. Also, the topics are very interesting and very innovators from carbon sequestation by forests to ecology of bunnies in Patagonia. I visit this site frequently in fact I activated the notifications to be permanently informed about they news, because they upload content many times a day.
