Post 6: Postgraduate Studies

Imagen
 Hello, everybody! Today I'm going to talk about a postgraduate degree I would like to do in the future. At the present  I'm in my second year of architecture in the fourth semester, and I haven't really thought much about the postgraduate degree I would like to take, I feel that over the time I have left in the career I might be able to change my mind.    However, I have some ideas in mind related to what I like today, as I mentioned in the previous publication, I am interested in sustainability, for this reason I think I would take a postgraduate degree in sustainable architecture. I would like to do this postgraduate abroad, as I believe that by interacting with different people from different cultures, learning is enriched, so it is possible to get a broader view of things. Although I would like to study abroad, I am a little afraid to be alone in a country I do not know, previously I have always traveled accompanied and for a short period of time.  I would like

Post 5: My Future Job

  Good afternoon everyone, today I'm going to talk about my future job that I would like to have. I haven't really thought about my future job, however, I think I would like to devote myself to a job related to the environment or people. Maybe I would like to work on sustainable architecture or sustainable urbanism, I think both fields involve the environment and affect it directly. At present, the construction industry is a big polluter, I would like to raise awareness about the need to take care of the environment, I would like to work with a sustainable architecture, if I plan a construction, I hope to use materials that do not generate much pollution.  I would like to interact with the city, explore the streets, etc. Honestly, I would not like to work in an office, I think I would feel bored and stressed. I would love to travel a lot in my work, traveling is my favorite activity, I think it is interesting to know different places, architecture, culture and lifes

Post 4: My Favorite TV show

Good afternoon, in this opportunity I’m talking about my favorite Tv show. At present, I don’t usually watch Tv. I don’t really like Tv, in my free time I prefer to watch movies on Netflix, on website, or simply watch videos on YouTube. However, when I was 15 years old I watch “The voice”, this program was about a person that takes part in a competition were they had to sing, only qualified the best participants and they competed in a Tv   program. I watch this program because I admire the singers, I think that this discipline is very difficult.   The characters were some people that had a good voice, the person would be of different ages, the only condition was to pass the initial casting, the participant confront different competition about singing in this program, they prepared a performance and the jury that decided if the participants continue in the program qualified them.   My favorite episode was “Camila Gallardo” presented her initial performance, she sang a co

Post 8: Random things about me

Hello everybody, in this post I going to talk about random things in my life.     When I was a girl, when I am six years old, I think that toys were alive, because I lost them all the time, always I found in different place where I had them. The reason why I think it is because I saw the film toy story, I loved this film but It me think crazy things.     Other random thing about me is that I scared talk with adult person, my brother told me that I will have talk with other person all the time when I growing up, but I am really girl shy. Once he told me that ask an old man to in the bus, what was the time, then does this, I was very embarrassed, my face was red. Finally, I don´t believe in the horoscope, I think that is Impossible that happened same things to much people, all person has different life, and they do different things.

"Panul, community park" This picture was taken by me, I was taken on Saturday of last week, when I went for a walk on the hill "Panul" with my boyfriend, in this picture you can see the city of Santiago, some trees, also you can see more hills, and the most important is that in the photo you can see clouds in the sky, the color of the sky is very beautiful because they were around six in the afternoon, when the sun was hiding. I like this picture because I love natural landscapes, the height of the hill We allow to have a panoramic view of the city, the places near the commune "La Florida". I love taking pictures of the clouds, and the sunsets, are my favorite thing to photograph. The only problem when I took the picture is that it was very cold, my hands froze when I took the mobile phone. I took very few photos for that reason.

Post 4: Veganism

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well. Today's blog is about Veganism.  What does it mean to be vegan? Being vegan means rejecting the use and consumption of all products of animal origin, people choose this lifestyle for various reasons, such as ethical, environmental and health reasons.  Personally I chose not to eat meat for the first two reasons I mentioned, respect for animals is something that has been very present in my life this last time, although the consumption of meat is something traditionally accepted, I think it is not right to involve the suffering of living beings, for the sole purpose of consumption and marketing, meat is not something that is necessary to survive, as there are many ways to supply the nutrients and vitamins that are required to be healthy.  The injustices and tortures that occur in slaughterhouses today is something that really makes me sad. On the other hand, the livestock industry involves a large use of water, and it is als
