Fiestas Patrias

Hi, and welcome back to this amazing friday blog. I thought that I wouldn't use this blog again, but here we are again :)

Today I'm gonna talk about my week off for Fiestas Patrias.

I'm not really used to travel for these holidays, so I spend those days visiting my whole family because they invite us (my parents and I) to have lunch at their houses. In these free days, people cook meat on the grill and makes barbecues, and I really like to visit my family because all my aunts and uncles cook really good, and I really like eating meat, however, I don't like the taste of the empanada de pino, even though it has meat.

Other thing that I did in those days is went to a fonda in the Estadio Nacional, there was a lot of food and drinks, and of course, a lot of people enjoying the day. I went whit my close friends so it was really funny, and some of them got drunk for drink too much terremoto, at least one liter of that drink, but we were going to sleep in the house of one of my friends, so it was not too terrible to go back.

My blogging experience

Hello

Today's post is gonna be the last post on this blog (I think) and I'm gonna tell you my experience with blogging.

''Just a cute animals blog'' was my very first blog and when I started writting in it I found it very difficult because I have never write something freely, in english and related to any topic. But at the same time it was very interesting because writting in my blog every friday, through the entire semester, let me practice my english a lot, and now, for me it is very easy and funny tell a story or something that I like or I think.

Since, maybe forever, I have think that reading what other people write is interesting because it allows you to understand how people think or how they view the world, if and when they explain why they have that opinion; I really hate when someone, including my friends, tell me something and they can't or directly doesn't explain why that opinion. Anyway, the point is that I'm a person who like enjoying the beautiful things and I feel this way about this.

To finish this post I'd like to tell you that I don't really enjoy too much writing comments on my classmates blogs just because I forgot about it every time haha.

See you later and I hope you're well :)

A nice walk

I'm not really into long walks, going to a national park or big places like that, maybe because my family doesn't enjoy it too much, my friends either so I don't plan that kind of activities in my free time, but if i'm honest, I like to go anywhere without planning it too much, I really enjoy the little things.

When I was younger I used to go to Algarrobo a lot (I've talked about it in a past blog) and I remember that to arrive at the beach we need to walk a lot carrying things like towels, beach chairs, etc., because at that time we didn't have a car. It sounds exhausting but I really enjoy it because I was with my whole family; my parents, my cousins, my brother, all of them and it was really funny.
Almost all my good memories are from algarrobo; I also remember walking along the shore of the beach with my dad just searching for shells, It was really funny because when we wanted, we swam in the ocean for a little and then we continued walking.

Sometimes I really miss those moments, remember my childhood makes me think about who I am today and maybe I'm kinda boring, I don't do this kind of things so frecuently today and almost every year I stay at home in the vacations, But the last year I went to the beach with my friends and walking almost three kilometers to the beach, laughing and making jokes was really funny too.

Something Interesting

I would like to tell you about something interesting I am doing. I have always liked the food a lot, it's logical, but for some time now I have not only been interested because I like to eat delicious things or because eating is just great (I'm not saying that it is not), but in itself, food reflects so many things about people, whether it is prepared, how it is presented or the way it is eaten, that I would like to give an opportunity to learn to cook. At least once a week I learn a little more about this with the help of my aunt, either in how different ingredients are prepared to cook them, quantities of ingredients, and others, but I would really like to get to prepare food dishes with a touch that only I can give.
The truth is I've always been, to put it in some way, good for everything, but I'm not the best at something, or until now I have not discovered it, so it has taken me a while to learn cooking, I thought it was easier to what it is.

My favorite foods

This is a little hard for me because I just love and enjoy almost all the food dishes, I think that enjoying a food dishes with my family or people I love is one of the most beautiful things that exist, whatever the food is.
Talking a little about my gastronomic tastes, I think my favorite salty dish is pasta, but there is a typical Chilean dish that I love and its name is ''Tomaticán''; This one has two ingredients that I like a lot and that are tomato and corn, Eating this hot dish in winter and in family makes it one of the best lunches.
As I said before I like all kinds of food, so desserts are not left behind, I'm still not very familiar with them so I can not mention many but there is a dessert that I like a lot and that is the roasted milk; its sweet taste and texture after a lunch is very cool.
The are other desserts that I like, like the kuchen or the cheesecake, both are very tasty, but the one I usually eat the most is vanilla or chocolate ice cream.

Hello 😊, Today I will talk about my favorite websites.

First of all, the internet has been present particularly my whole life and has been a fundamental part of it, as the technology itself. I have spent a lot of time on different websites when I was younger, for example I used to watch anime series on different pages like animeflv or animeid, I used to log in a lot to Facebook in the past to talk with all my friends, and I played a lot with my friends in a website called ‘’Habbo Hotel’’, a little online game to make social life (yes, it sounds a little bit funny).

Now I have stopped using internet so much because I do not have too much time because of the university, but there are still two websites that always accompany me, wich are Youtube and Netflix. In this two websites I spend all the free time that I have, as well as I use them to entertain me when I have to make models or just manual works for the university, and because there is so much to see in these websites, they Will never stop being a very good option.

Hi people

Today I want to tell you about an exhibition that I really enjoyed the past year, the event was the ''Andy Warhol'' art exhibition that take place at the cultural center ''La Moneda'' in Santiago of Chile.
Because he was a famous artpop influencer, I got to know him, but I was not really interested in his work untill I came into the exhibition... in that moment I realize what he was trying to share to the people: he was trying to paint the life style in the 60's and the vices of that time.
I was so excited with what I was seeing, the feelings that the paintings gave me were so strong and at the same time I realized that the other people in the exhibition were extreamly interested on that vices and thinking about it made me feel more interested in the situation in general

Hi people :)

Today I'm gonna tell you about a beautiful place inside Chile that I have visited a lot of times in my life and I feel it is like a ''second home''. That place is called Algarrobo and it is west side of Santiago of Chile.
When I think about this place I have a bunch of nostalgic and nice feelings; When I was a kid I used to go with my whole family so I remember a lot of moments being with my parents walking in the beach the entire day searching for shells, swimming with my brother in the ocean, eating delicious food at the dinner, making sand castles with some other kids in the beach, visiting the craft fair near the beach and travelling to different places near Algarrobo, like El Quisco, El Tabo, Isla Negra, etc.
The most I like about this place is the peace and the quiet feeling that it never lose, and of course that it is beautiful.
I really recomend this place to go in vacation because you can do a lot of things there and it is really funny.
