So, today I'll write about things I'd include in a bucket list. The things I'd include would be: learn many languages as I can, graduate from all my studies, play a role in a theatre play, taking my mom on a travel, plant many trees as possible, having my own house, make my mom's dreamed-house on the beach, living without trash. Some of this things are done (like playing a role in a theatre play) but I'd like to do them again because I think I didn't enjoyed them enough. I've tried learning another languages but mostly I've let this half done. Also, about planting trees, I did it once but I'm not good at taking care of my plants, so I think I owe this to the planet. The other things are more like my longer term goals, like the thing about living without generate trash, is part of a hard process but is possible, at least I'd like to say that I tried. I have to say that there was a time where this list was longer than now, and that is very ...

As I said in my last post, I'm not very clear about what I want to do in the future. In this case, I'd like to do a lot of postgraduate courses but I'm not very clear which should be first. I want to do a postgraduate course about sustainable architecture because I think this contributes to a better world but also to get better public spaces. I wouldn't do this course in Chile because I think there are better places in which knowledge is more advanced, like any Nordic country. I also would like to do a course about editorial design and another about housing and land, and this last one is the only one I'd like to study here in Chile because of the importance of this topic in the public space and its development. I would like to do a lot of courses abroad, I consider that is important to learn different visions about the architecture that sometimes you can't learn here because it has to do with the culture of the place and make a contrast with Chilean reality t...

I've always thought about an ideal job for me, since I was in school. I think in this moment of my life I would like to work as an architect, because that's what I'm studying, but I don't know exactly in which area, all I know is that it has to be an outdoor job because I don't like the idea of being in just one place for a long time. Also, I'd like to have a job where I can relate with other people from other groups, like in an urbanistic area or in the area of social housing. About the salary, I don't care about how much it is as long as I can get enough for paying a house or even a rental or a lease, and to keep studying. In this moment, I don't know what major I'm going to take, but as I said before, It has to be something related with the urbanistic area, because I don't know another major associated with the public or with the outdoor stuff. I've always liked the graphic or visual side of the architecture so I'd also like to...

So, I have to post about my favorite book but, in fact, I have two favorite books. One of them is The Coffee's Sediment by Mario Benedetti. It's about the life of a man called Claudio, who lives in a neighborhood in Montevideo, Uruguay. The story is full of his experiences. I think it's a great novel. The other book is The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. It's about the adventure of a hobbit called Bilbo Bolsón. A hobbit it's a fantastic creature of a fantastic land called "Middle Earth". This book is part of The Lord of the Ring's saga, which is awesome. My favorite authors are Mario Benedetti, Gabriel García Marquez, and Hernán Rivera Letelier. I love these authors because their stories have a lot of Latin American influence (which is obvious because they lived here) and also I like their books, like One Hundred Years of Solitude, Saint Mary of the Black Flowers and others. Now I'm reading a book called Privileged Witness by Orlando Sáenz Rojas,...

My favorite movie, until now, is "Whiplash". It's about a guy called Andrew who dreams about being the best jazz drummer and reach the top of his career, facing constantly to his teacher, who doesn't approve him. I could write all day of this movie but I think you should see it with your own eyes. I love the film's plot, but mostly I love the soundtrack's movie, also, I think is the best J. K. Simmons and Miles Teller's performance. Honestly, it's hard to find movies, like "Whiplash", that I could like, but I think that movies about musicals and Stanley Kubrick's movies (like "Lolita", "The Shining", and others) are more to my taste.  I watch many movies, so it's hard to recommend just one but one of the most recently and unforgettable is "Us". The latest Jordan Peele's movie. Usually, I don't recommend horror films because I don't watch them, but I think this kind of horror is different a...

Today I'm posting about one of the best concerts I've been. My best concert, until now,  was Lollapalooza of this year by the end of March in O'Higgins Park. There's a lot of artist I watched there but one of the most unforgettable moment was watching Twenty One Pilots, Paloma Mami and Sam Smith. When Twenty One Pilots started to play was amazing, the whole crowd was jumping and screaming, and then the vocalist approached to the public. It was very exciting. In contrast to that show, watching Paloma Mami was so disappointing. First, I didn't watched her, I couldn't even see the stage because the people was so excited and pushing me all over again for over twenty minutes. I didn't enjoy it, AT ALL. Sam Smith, for me, was everything! I really felt in love with him, his voice, and the atmosphere of that moment of the night, also I remember clearly feeling the tears in my eyes and my friend laughing at me, but I didn't care. I think this could be one o...
