Santi asgo


Ooh well, Santiago is pretty clashing to me… I’ve always live here, born here, but even that, I couldn’t love it, ever. Of course that opinion has a reason: first, I think that it’s so big that you lose too much, people it to segregated in it, some people for example doesn’t know anything farther than plaza italia, or in the other side, some people has never gone to Lo Curro. That is one of the biggest reasons, or actually the biggest one. But I also don’t like my city because its obviously to pollutes, with noise, smog, trash, bad mood, and on and on, and all that things I believe that trespass our own bodies and affect us really hard.
But not everything is bad, there are some gorgeous places to go here as well, for example, Cajon del Maipo is really really beautiful, specially a place called “baños colina” that is pretty much getting to Argentina! There is all about nature, and the best of all is that it’s only like 100 km away, but still inside Santiago! It is a place 100% recommendable for tourist, I know losts of them that have been there and they love it! Also turist should go to the tipical places, like Cerro Santa Lucía and San Cristobal, the Mercado, down town, etc. cause they have an historical weight that it’s nice to feel it, imagine the past… what I also think it’s great is go to any hill, very high and the look down to the city, especially after rain, it’s so pretty, and also look up to the mountain from the city after rain, it is the only chance you get to actually see them!
Well, I don’t like Santiago but I can’t denial that it has it charm.

Music in my life


Music, for start, isn’t that important in my life, I mean comparing myself with my nearest friends, cause they are really into music; have millions of songs in their mp3s and know lots of artists! But that doesn’t mean that I didn’t enjoy music when I’m listening to it, because that is a delighting activity, especially when you are in crowded places with a lot of noise, it’s a way to escape for a little bit.
When someone ask me what kind of music do I like, it’s always hard for me to say an specific artist or group cause nothing comes to my head at the exact moment, but in general I can say I enjoy Latin American music, like Pedro Aznar or Bersuit, and also some united states artists, just like Eddie Vedder, that lately it has been my favorite one. Well and of course some classics of all times like Queen, Beatles and others in that style, beside listen in some occasions some nice classic music (Beethoven, Chopin, etc.) . In the opposite side, when I’ve to talk about those who I don’t like it’s much easier; I hate for example “romantic” music, like “sin bandera” and that kind of groups. Reggaeton in the other side, is something that I never listen to by personal choice, when riding my bike for example, but I do enjoy it when I’m in a party and everybody is dancing around… its fun listen to it once in a while.
I think that it’s why I almost all the time listen to my personal collection of music, cause obviously it has only songs that I like, contrasting with the radio stations, cause even if they’re good ones, in some point they put a bad song on. Beside, the music collection that we do personally it can be much bigger than what we can listen on the radio.
On the internet there’re thousands of music files to download, and I can confess that all the music I got its downloaded from the internet, I never buy CD’s, they are stupidly expensive!!
Talking about my music skills, well, I don’t really have any, maybe that’s why I admire so much people who can play any instrument or sing so beautiful songs. I think about the classics like Mozart or Bach and they have an extremely huge talent! They create works of art that remain in the history of the world.
Music it’s such a gorgeous creation that the world without it I’ll be much more sad and gray. Music is, at last, one of the most beautiful expressions of the human being.
