Thank you for reading!

I really like how we have been able to express ourselves thanks to this subject. I've discovered some really nice stories and really interesting people through this blog. I've realized that everybody has something to say, but we all have problems describing it. I'm really thankful that I won't have to wake up early for this subject anymore but I'm really sad that I won't be doing this entries from now on... People share a lot of things in the internet that they don't share in real life.
One of the things I would like to have developed more are my talking skills, my pronunciation tries to hard to imitate that of native speakers, but I'm not one! so I should talk with my own accent.
I use english way too much, almost every show I watch online I watch it with english subtitles because they are on the web faster than spanish subtitles, plus there's a lot of content lost in translation. I rather read in english than to translate it in spanish, because there are a lot of sayings or word plays that don't apply in our language. I also use it when I'm playing online games with people internationally, I got really embarrassed once like 7 years ago when I said "god thank you" instead of good, thank you to someone else xDD that day I decided to translate everything I wanted to say before I actually say it. I'm finally able to talk with people through the web but my talking skills are still lack the fluency that it should have.

Grand finale

This year has been the greatest of them all. I've learnt so much, I've had so much fun, and I've discovered so many things about myself. Probably because last year was a year that kept me so busy in things that were wearing me out that this year I've had time to worry about myself-
I haven't been able to create as much music as I did last year though but I've been practicing so much. I want to create a lot now and I intend to do so in my vacations. I also have to work a lot so I can have money to help my parents pay the flat while I'm in my hometown.
I think what I'm most proud of is that the youtube channel I made was really making a progress and that I realized that by working hard I could accomplish things that I didn't know I had in me
My musical language classes had been the craziest classes though. I think it's because of my teacher because she always root for everyone of us in a way that made us feel special. Also because she constantly made us feel that we were improving and we were actually noticing so many results.
The friends I've made also have a special place in my heart now. My birthday was incredible fun and my parents, my brother and a friend gave me a ticket to the concert of The legenf of Zelda in May! Oh I'm so excited! I think I've grown a lot. I think that now I can always be happy

I't really something else y'know

I've never been abroad for the summer, I have only been in Argentina once with my family it was a good experience I had a great time. I remember that the heat was unbearable so I realized that I rather go to a cooler place than those with even higher temperatures than my country during the summer.
I also never thought about a place that I would like to go. I don't have that much of a traveler's spirit. Maybe a place with snow! Iceland sounds terrific. The hills and mountains and volcanoes. It's a gorgeous place and the people seem nice too. A lot of incredible musicians come from Iceland too. I would like to go with my mother and father because I would like them to travel more than I do.
I would go to Reykjavik and experience the northern lights.


I think I would work there to get to experience the culture from first hand. It's music is outstanding so I would be going to a lot of gigs! Maybe work in a bar. Get to know the people and also learn a lot about their ecological interventions. They are way far beyond or reach in that matter and we are also a resourceful country like them!



It's a country that seems so peaceful but so majestic at the same time. I'm a fan of big cities and cars and all of the noises they make but Iceland's cities are surrounded by beauty! Just thinking about the smell combined with the sights, the wind making my hair wave everywhere and having to use comfy and warm clothes while drinking something hot. I love green and cold places like that one.
I didn't know I wanted to go somewhere so badly before I wrote this xD

At the end of the day, we are actually art students.

For me money is all about surviving. I don't really have a lot of ambitions relating money, like traveling, or buying my a nice house or a car. I try, at least, to be very efficient with the way I use money. I think that the reason behind my behavior is that since I was a child my family has always being tight with the budget, but they always tried to making it seem that we were all right. I think we were, because I was the only one that didn't notice it. My brother and sister did though. 
We used to live in a great house in a really good neighborhood until I was like 3 but then we moved on to a house my grandfather had and lend to us. They realized everything was different but I grew up with it.
I'm more than thankful for that now because we are actually Art Students. Although I do think that all careers have those ups and down regarding finding a job in all fields like science or literature-wise.

Even though I don't like spending money for things beyond food or supplies I do spend it in a couple of things. All of them related to my future. I like to spend it in equipment to make music or in plays and concerts. Last month my wallet suffered a lot because of how many concerts I was attending to. I also like games and I'm always saying that when I have enough money I'll repay those games I download through websites. The same goes for music applications.

I don't know if I know how to manage my budget because my answer to my short comes regarding money is always to stop buying food, and I think that's not the reasonable answer xD I know how to save though. I know where to buy, when to buy, what to buy, appealing to an efficient outcome. All thanks to my family.

Buuuut if I were a millionaire I would buy plane tickets to my parents to everywhere in the world. They always talk about traveling. They always said that I'm gonna need money because I will want to travel in the future. Thankfully that's not an ambition I have. I would also buy a grand piano and a nice computer for playing games (and would also buy the games). Also buy a camera and a good recording equipment. Finally I would try to pay studies abroad to complement my studies. Although this last one I still want to do it without having a lot of money with scholarships!

Luckily for me in my faculty there are a couple of pianos and computers for me to use, if I ever had to pawn something in order to pay what's really necessary it would be my digital piano and my laptop. Those two are a necessary thing for me to work but well I still can study in my faculty!

A difficult journey

In Talcahuano my hometown there was a recycling center by my school but I didn't knew it was there untill I was in my final year! That's where I just started to learn about recycling.
In the faculty I was on in University of Concepción there was a recycling project that my career was directing. I raised my hand and joined the group. I learned a lot about how to recycle. I started recycling my house things there. I'm really happy I joined that eco-spot. I learned that worrying about the environment is not an easy thing to do and it's not something that can be forced on anybody.
Geophysics eco-spot


In Santiago recycling is much easier I recycle everything all the time! probably because my flat has an eco-spot too e.e

I would like to have a bike to ride to college everyday. I always walk because I live nearby but sometimes I take the public transport when I think I'll be kind of late.


Santiago worries a lot about the environment but there's still a lot of pollution every year. I think it's the way our society works here. People doesn't have that kind of education in their lives. Maybe a generational change can make things go better, but there still must be an educational plan, that way the new generations will generate the conciousness of taking care of the environment.

I love videogames because of its music or the other way around ╮(─▽─)╭

I think my first memory of my childhood is me trying to learn how to read thanks to a game. After that my record of videogames and my bond to them only grew stronger.
I wanted to be a videogame creator when I was 12. I started looking for schools and such here in Chile and outside of it, but I soon realize that the concept of videogames where more "my thing" (╥_╥) that the process to make one. So much time I passed playing them that I ended up knowing more about its music than popular music in the radio. I was (and still do) always looking for versions of videogames themes, orchestrated versions, jazz versions and such and they grew  within me (sometimes even surprising the story of it).
                                                                   Now I do the same.ヽ(๏∀๏ )ノ


It wasn't until recently that I found out that I wanted to create music for videogames (≧◡≦). I mean I never had high hopes of myself. I'm currently studying to get an Arts degree with a mention in Music's theory. I don't know how much will help me towards my goal, there's no really a single road to walk through. I've learnt so much here and this place gave me hope. It made me think "Oh then I really wasn't wasting my time, there's a use to what I know! o(≧o≦)o"
I like to study a lot (I don't know if almost as much as playing though ╮(─▽─)╭) so I don't mind where music is going to take me or not. If staying in Chile is the best way or any other country is, then I'll do my best to follow the righteous path for me. I really wouldn't mind working in an office if it would meant to do what I want. Basically playing games is staying in a place for a long time. Plus to compose or study I would have to seclude myself a lot. At least that's the way I like to do things (it doesn't sound like a very orthodox  method now that I think about it (~ ̄▽ ̄)~).

It's been new to me that recently music is almost as close to my heart than games though (n˘v˘•)¬, but is still a long relationship in progress.

Sometimes I walk through the street and think to myself "Myself how lucky are you to be surrounded with such cool and kind people"  When ever I think about it I wonder what change in me (or in the rest of the world) that made me encounter these people because, there was a time in my life when these people weren't in my life. I've just decided to start anew in a school closer to my home, it was the beginning of my high school education. I had a "close" group of friends in my former school, the only school I was a student of until that moment, I thought it would be easy to make new friends in my new school, but it wasn't!
So many years without having to make new friend and there I was every day for a year and a half, only speaking to myself and to my classmate next to my chair, just little things to avoid an awkward silence that could last hours in bad days.

I missed my friends everyday and I thought I would never talk with them again, but facebook was just becoming a "thing" here and that wasn't the case. At least for one of all my friends in the other school.

Alison has been a part of my life since I was in my early basic education. She has always been kind to me and be there for me when I basically had no one (not exactly truth but it felt that way at that mment). My main teacher at that time sat us together, and realized  we both watched anime on "El club de los tigritos". Now that I think about it we've been friends for more than 10 years now! unbelievable!.

That's us she also draws!
Returning to my teenager situation I talked with her every day, and was always telling her what I've been doing in school. In my previous posts I always talk about how I was playing piano and playing games most of the time. She was the girl I played online games with. Now she plays even more than me and is awesome in all of them! She's really cool.

We weren't the kind of kids at that time who did silly things, we really just talked. A lot. Although (and it's funny to remember) we once in second grade of basic school sang the opening of an anime (don't remember which one, but she wanted to sing the one in Inuyasha and I didn't like it. People started mocking at us and I didn't realize. I think of it as the first moment (don't know if the best) that we did a friend-like thing.

I remember talking to her about pretty personal and intimate things, I think of her as my best friend because she's always been there, even though we don't talk to each other every day, because I've grown able to meet so much new and cool people, but it's always cool to realize how much one's changed, or not changed on the course of time with her.
