The last one

Hi there, today I am going to write my last blog so if you have to cray go on.

Writing different posts was pretty interesting and made me think about staff I did not have time or just did not think about before. Actually it would be a good idea to keep writing some posts just to keep practicing my English, but those are the kind of things you say but you do not do.

I really liked to think about a place I liked to walk, I never thought about it and the best part is that when I thought about it I remembered a great moment of my life. And there is also a blog I did not like much, to write in a personal blog webpage about something that does not have an opinion or anything related to the one that is writing is not very interesting.

I do not know if my English improved, but for sure keeps me training and as in sports, if you train you improve.

Francisca had interesting posts and I liked the way she wrote and thought about the posts. I also liked the posts of Agus and Ricardo.    

Long 2016

Hey there,

We are very near of 2017 so today I am going to make a quick review of this 2016.

This year began great, well actually in Chile every year begins great because we are in holiday since the first day of the year until two more month. Every year for me was like that but this 2017 it is going to be different thanks to this messy 2016. Going back to why it began great. January and February were months when you are nowhere, I just finished my 12 years of school and I was not yet in University, so the feeling to not have anything like important at that moment was great. I began the year getting my driving license even if I was not 18 yet and with my friends we went one week to Algarrobo by our own. It was the first time we were without parents “living” one week. It was a great week, we were around 9 people in the house so it was also a mess.

When my gorgeous holiday ended my new career was begging. I met my first group friends in the “Alliance” days so my first week in classes I already had with who to talk with. Architecture was pretty interesting but the rumors that you sleep less began to be true, but thanks to that I began to listen to much more music like Soundtracks, 80´s music and new staff. I really liked it even that I began with pretty bad marks, but I ended the first term with one of the best projects of my class so that was incredibly awesome. I skipped the worst part of the year and that is the reason why I am writing this so next to Christmas. We had in the university two month of manifestations and after two month he had had wasted our time and future holiday. I hope next year we are going to be more intelligent and smart in our actions.

My second term is still going and I have no time for other things that is not university and I wish I could watch more movies because I really enjoy watching them, but I cannot say I did not watch some like the force awakens!!! (Could not waste my opportunity to watch it on the cinema) hehehe. And everything else is my life at FAU. That is another story ;) 

Mr. Smith

Hey there,

How many celebrities do we know and we have heard about, we have seen or we think about how they are so famous even if they do not do anything smart or useful. In my case many times, actually when I think about it is ridiculous how many names I know of people I do not know. But also there are many nice people I would like to meet in real life and just shake a hand with him/her. I really like watching movies and one of my favorite actors is Will Smith. He is really a great actor, very complete and he has done many different rolls in his movies, for me the best movie is Seven Pounds (Hundred percent recommended).

When I was a child I saw him on TV doing a comedy program and then I saw more serious movies about how hard can life be and then some action movies. I would love to talk with him, I really think he is a good guy and that I can have a normal conversation without him being arrogant as maybe a chat with Robert Downy Jr. I would like to know how he chooses the movies he does and what sort of movies he likes playing in more. Also know more about his personal life, how he developed his skills and how does it feel being himself hahahaha. I really like his capacity to be serious and be nice, his voice is really convincing with the things he talks about. Well, just a great actor. 

“environmental research” (sounds professional)

Hey there, today I am going to write about a subject I like at FAU. As we know workshop is the most important subject in Architecture so if you do not like it, it is difficult that Architecture likes you for real. Of course like Workshop, but I guess it is more interesting to write this time about another subject.

This term we began with a new subject called “environmental research” it is a kind of Urbanism class. It is a very nice and interesting subject because we have two teachers: the main teacher is Paola Velazquez and she is officially the teacher of urbanism, but we also have a sociologist that actually gives most of the classes, we have been investigating and analyzing, in my case, painters. In the beginning we began researching about all of them, but then I had to choose one. Alex is the name of “my” painter and it has been so nice to get to know so much about his life in Plaza de Armas. But going back to the class. Luis, the sociologist is so interesting to give classes, it really gets me interesting in how thing can be thought and how he, in a point of a sociologist, sees things.

I have this class every Wednesday from half past eight to twelve o´clock and why I think it can help in in the future is because architecture is made a crated for people. So he know how people think and how people behave and I feel that he transmits a little bit of that knowledge to us. I am glad I am having that mix of sociology and urbanism together and I hope it is going to be fruitful.            

Sport !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey there,

Hobbies are a great thing to have. It is funny that we have to write about a hobby we have or had, because since I entered to study architecture my free time has become almost none. I have great friends and I try to see them as much as I can, but maybe that cannot be considered like a hobby. When I was at school I also did not have much time, but that was because my hobby were sports. I never played basketball before entering to high school, but because it was a new school I could enter to the school basketball selection. It was great, sports are great. I began just with basketball, but I finished being in two selections of the school: football and basketball.

Four of the five days of school I had training after classes, but the schedule was terrible. Every day my normal classes finished at four o’clock. I had to wait one and a half hour for the training and train for another one and a half hour. So I was back home not before eight. Now that I am at the university sound normal hahaha. The point is that I really enjoyed (and still enjoy) doing sports. Actually I tried to play as many sports as I could at the gymnastic classes and before entering to high school I had tennis classes. So in conclusion I love sports and this term is the first time since I have memory that I am not doing a sport like a regular action. That will not happen the next term ;)             

Kamaleon

Hey there,

There are two Chileans that I really like: Pablo Neruda and Stefan Kramer. I have been like 5 times to Neruda´s house in “Isla Negra” and I always discover new thing, new explanation about his collections and I love that place. But to admire someone I think that is Stefan Kramer.

Stefan Kramer is a guy that it cannot be more incredible. For the ones who do not know who he is; he is an imitator, actor who plays and exaggerates the famous people that are Chileans or related to Chile. He became so famous and so good that he made two movies where he is 17 characters of the first movie.

In my high school he had a big influence to me and my friends group, we began to imitate the imitations he did and it was sometimes the way we talked to each other, like imitating Arturo Vidal and his funny voice, to el Negro Piñera, Alexis Sanchez with his fast and horrible talk and even the ex-president from Chile Sebastian Piñera. His biggest and maybe best act was in Viña Del Mar´s festival in 2008. In that show he was simple perfect imitating the future president Piñera. 

In the first movie he made he talks about his personal life, his wife and two children, and about how he began to imitate, so I recommend to everyone that movie, called Stefan vs Kramer.

I would love to meet him, but I think I would be in shock. I guess I would try to talk like one of his imitations and just hope he does the same. La familia los niños ahh?.... Fantastico.

    

Victroy City

Victory city says that is the city of the future. They say that they are going to deal with the biggest problems of  the now days big cities such as growth of slums, traffic congestion, air pollution, noise and much others. Well, actually they say it is going to be perfect.

The food will be grow up in the surrounding by the farms also owned by Victory City and the food is always going to be fresh and naturally raised. There is also a big plan for recreational activities and many areas for all kind of sports.

It is interesting a project that can deal with all the human necessities and I like that the food is going to be natural and that they think about sports. But actually I do not like this project, I feel that  ignors the earth problems and making something so “utopic” that have been planned in movies and always goes something wrong and people get brainwashed and controlled by the city, and i feel here it goes to that. We have to see how is this going to be developed. For sure this is an interesting project and opportunity for architects and even I am in the mood to try to help planning something in Victory City.
