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.
