My opinion... #SorryNotSorry

Hello guys, and welcome to this new blog in this evasive day. Today, I answer the follow questions:

What is your opinion about the Chilean tradition called ‘mechoneo’?

I think the “mechoneo” is a stupid and barbaric university tradition, because it humiliates the university students, it generates fear and terror, it gives you a bad impression of university, and, sincerely, it’s an old tradition that has stayed obsolete by our time, and it has been replaced by party like “carrete”, chats, and friendly welcome. And it’s so boring.

What is your opinion about “barras bravas” (hooligans)?

In my opinion, hooligans in general are very negative for sports, especially football, because, considering the last times, it shows a bad side of the sports fans, it generates insecurity in the stadiums. A few people think they are part of the club, but I don’t think so, because if they were, they would not destroy the stadiums and threaten both leaders and players.

What is your opinion about legalizing marijuana and other drugs?

I think that the legalization of drugs could regularize the obtaining of them, but that does not prevent the problems of a black market, because, maybe, the amount allowed for consumption compared to the amount of consumption of a person could differ substantially, causing consumers to go to unregulated media. In addition, prices could be more expensive than consumer expectations.

What is your opinion about recycling?

I think the recycling, in its individual version, it’s useless and ineffective, because, a individual action is not able to affect a worldwide problem. It is more advisable to restrict extractive activity of mining companies, the polluting production of meat producers, because, they are the biggest environmental pollutants, and, thus, the effect would be reduced more effectively. Change the world.

The postgraduate course

Hello, everyone, and welcome to new blog.  This time, we have to talk about a postgraduate course that we would like taking.

In my case, I have considered getting to a PhD in anything, because, when I was a child, I wanted to be a doctor, but not a medical sense.  Furthermore, taking into account the price of the postgraduate studies in Chile and my social-economic condition, for now, it’s not possible.

My interesting areas, related with my major, are Public Policies’ Master, in Beauchef and Political Science’s Master, in Instituto de Asuntos Públicos, in Universidad de Chile. I have interested in the policy area, because I want to improve me in this topic, for my professional life and my essential desire of learning; and the other area, the politic, it’s a desire when  I was a young one.

The first studies, I prefer studying in Chile, because, it’s more close, and the university’s grant can help me to make them. For the PhD, I think I would like taking abroad, because, I haven’t found a PhD related with my area. I would like studying in a Europe country, like France, Belgium, Netherlands; or a Asian country, like Japan, and South Korea.

If I have a choice, and the money, I would prefer to take a full-time course, but I think it is so complicated, so I think e-learning is better option.

The Cult of Felipito

Hi everyone, and welcome to my new blog.

This time, we should talk about the  own favourite Chilean TV personality. It’s complicated for me tos ay anyone, because, even if I watched a loto f Chilean TV, I never had a favorite one. But, if I had to say one, my first name in my mind is Felipe Camiroaga.

And why??? When I was a little one, and I woke up early in the morning, the first program I wacthed in TV, it was “Buenos días a Todos”, with him, Tonka Tomicic, “Pato” Frez, and other people who worked in production, and behind the camera.

He was a great televisor animator, and, when he animated the 50th versión of Viña del Mar festival, with Soledad Onetto, it was thought to be the apex of his career. But that was not so. A lot of program, like “Halcón y Camaleón” with Steffan Cramer, and others, they showed their talented and valiity.

All this ended September 2th, 2011, in a horrible accident, on a flight to Juan Fernández island. That day, a lot of lives were lost, including, Felipe Cubillos, Roberto Bruce, and others. Rest in peace.

I admire his figure, even until today, because he showed himself as a person who, despite having a favorable condition, was clear about his convictions and his conscience on important issues.

The Winter is coming

Hello guys, and welcome again

What season do I prefer? The only possible option: The beautiful winter.

Winter is cold, rainy (but this year not so much), and comforting.  The perfect time to stay in your house, with the heater aside you and a great time to eat porotos con rienda.

Certain people, sometime, say this season is boring and colder for them. Only heretics say that. But it is not my intention to say why they live wrong. Each decides what want to believe.

The winter is cool because it allows regulating your own temperature with warm clothes. If you have much cold, you wear two of three of them; but you can remove anyone that you want. In contrast, summer is so hot, independently that you wear, or not, you never escape of the horrible heat. And I think that sufficient reason to love winter.

And, my more sentimental wish is to see the snow falling, because, when I was a child, I saw a lot of movies where the snow falling looks amazing, and I wanted to feel that emotion once.

The Black Sabbath last concert

Hello, everyone, and welcome to another blog for this… ahh… class.

Today, I tell you about for my first, and the best, concert in that I’ve been. Three years ago, when I was in my first major, I heard for this concert about this band that I like, and this was my last opportunity to listen them. For this, I decided to buy the tickets, and asking to my friends if they want to go together. The concert was in November, but the sale of tickets was six or seven months before, and I wanted to be prepared, so I bought the tickets in May, and I waited for long time.

November, 19th. This was the day of my wait is finish. I came with my friends, and we went to Estadio Nacional. We took seats in front of the stage, at five or six p.m. and the concert began to nine… I really like to wait for anything. Before of presentation, for to open the concert, to play two different bands: Yajaira and Rival Sons. The first was too heavy. And another was too explosive. But both encouraged the public. And, finally, the wait finished. Black Sabbath in concert lives in front of my eyes. It was marvelous. A lot of songs that I listened, and other I don’t, but the mood in the stadium was magic. I’ve never enjoyed something similar. When it finished, we left the stadium and a lot of people as well. I bought a T-shirt for never forget this day. Now, I don’t remember where it is  :(

The France

Ahh! France, the beautiful place in the middle of Europe. The food the history in the air. The reason for to visit her is simple: París. And why París? Well…

The capital of France, the most populous city have a lot of places for visit, like Louvre, Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and many of them. The most interesting of the city is her nightlife, and you feel like in a movie, with the characteristic allure surrouding the environment… That’s really wonderful.

The history is the first reason for to visit, because France has a long history in the Europe as intellectual powerhouse, the center of the medieval life. Other reason is the culture, from the gastronomy, the museums, theatre, etc., because the longevity and the changes of the country show us the work process to get until these days. And the third reason is to preset my respect for Notre-Dame calamity, pray for the recovery this marvelous monument.
