END

I think that blogging was a good experience and very pragmatic. I like these exercises because the fact that writing some topics of personal interest incite my quest to know more about the different meanings of the words and the contexts where the words are occupied. What I disliked of this dynamic is that the time limits does not makes me concentrate, also the noise of the room. The truth is that it isn't easy for me to concentrate in places with people around me. That souds some autistic, but it isn't an important reason.


Did blogging help me to improve my English? Absolutely, because it's a practice that I don't do daily in a level that impart this class. Besides, I thank the liberty of choosing topics in most of the posts.
In another sense, coming back to have a blogspot was cool, because I had a blog years ago (in Spanish) but my little habit for writing with an specific objective influence to me to close it. I don't know if I would have another one...I can't say yes or no.


Finally, the blog experience makes me understand that in this moment of the life I should to learn more about this language, mainly the listening.
That's all Folks!

The circle of death

The title may sound weird, but this is the name which I and my high school friends we identify, only for the simple reason that we were some kind of rebellious with the "prison system" that our high school was.

At the end of these four bittersweet years, the circle of death (name inspired in some classmate friends of the movie "The Lord Of The Rings" in a funny way) was really big. We're around 15 friends, and from one moment to the next we start to hanging out in bars, discos and many places in different moments, overcoat that 4th grade in high school was very hectic, with many things to do. 

The gruopu was very varied. All of us had different attitudes, but there was a point that linked us:  making nonsense. With that point we made some "enemies", but all finished when that year ended. Nowadays the group is smaller than before. I only have 4 friends that I see regularly and a friend of my primary period joined us, and the confidence have been unbreakable for 7 years, and counting...


(In the picture two good friends aren't)

Tristan da Cunha

I knew some information of this place a short time ago, when my desire was try to travel and to know so many places and cultures, but chiefly my desire is to know the geography of the lands, and his climate.
I found the information of this archipelago visiting an old encyclopedia in my home, in Valparaíso, looking for the reference of "island", In this moment I knew that Tristan da Cunha is the most remote inhabited archipelago in the world. 


In the main island lives 80 families and share just seven surname, because the rest of the area is quite mountainous, then I could to climb, that I like a lot. Also the clime is very rainy so if I go there in a very very long time, I could spend the time in a house, and probably I stay to living there.


I prefer in this moment travel alone, but maybe I travel with other people. I think in my young sister, because she likes try to travel to Tristan too. Who knows? Just by looking at the photographs of the islands energized me to go some day. No, really I'm exaggerating. But I really would like to go.

The Grapes of Wrath

Today, and after two sessions absent, I'll write about "The Grapes of Wrath", which in spanish means "Las Uvas de la Ira". It's an American realist novel written by John Steinbeck, published in 1939. I got this book  provided that someday I return it to her owner, but the book is so good that I'm rereading.

The story of the book goes back to the 30's in a rural society steeped in a economical and territorial crisis after the Great Depression in 1929, in which Joad family must to emigrate from Oklahoma to California, after selling their land to the capitalist machinery, what Steinbeck shows as a non-human, silent and unkind entity.

What i like to this book is the dedicated atmosphere impregnated in each detail of the color, vestments and emotional states of each character, and overcoat the quiet time that recreates the pain of the story.

It's a long book, but anyway I recommend.

Handycams

To me, the point of taking some instants and later to see them with other way of looking arrange my imaginary of the world since a couple of years before, even before to get inside the career. I suppose that's why I don't like staying only with the raw instants since I have discernment, when I was around ten years old. I always liked to reinvent and imagine new instants product to combine places, people and first imprresions.

Well, coming back to the object, my first handycam allow me to dedicate more time to this. It was a prize of a high school students film festival, carry out in Valparaiso in 2009. Since then, I went everywhere with my handycam. It was a Sony Handycam SX40, a small camera, very lite, and with a quite good resolution and lens. So, anytime when I went somewhere and looked out very special or not much, I whiped up quickly and used it, and I'm talking about in past beacuse it was stolen awhile ago.

Now I have one worst, that I don't use regularly.

That's all. I think that a handycam is special.

A night in La Cantera

I really have not been to many big concerts, only Red Hot Chili Peppers' has been the most massive one. The other concerts were less popular, like the ones from Los Tres (my first concert was with them, too, when I was 15); Pánico, in two times, and many other free events.

On the other hand, there are the "toccatas", which almost all were in a place called "La Cantera", located in the neighborhood of La Matriz, in Valparaíso. This is a small place with a basement where many bands from the Post-Hardcore scene play, both the national as the international scene, notwithstanding other styles of bands that play here too.

From this place, my favourite concert was Familea Miranda. This is a post-hardcore chilean group radicated in Barcelona. They aren't very known in Chile, but their music, based on rhythm and tempo radical changes, like Math Rock style, makes unpredictables and so energetic songs. I went to see them the past year and until today I remember that night.

Who is this guy?

Let's see...I'm Eduardo, better known as Number, however this name is used only by my classmates. In Valparaíso, the place where I live, no one knows about this name. It´s a joke. 


However I was born here, in Santiago, in November 5th, 1991. In these times I was the only son. Four years later my sister coming to the world, the house, and my bedroom .
I've lived in a lot of houses, say, nine or ten, like a Gypsy, therefore I have known many places and neighborhoods.
My elementary school in Santiago was Shirayuri School, which is located in La Florida, commune where I lived the most years in a only house. In that school I studied since 1st to 6th grade. And the summer after, I moved with my parents to Viña del Mar...and that's another story. 


And to complete the task...my hobbies are listen and download many music, and composing too, mainly ambient, drone and types of electronic music.
