My Blogging Experience

Well, i enjoyed this experience, because usually i don't feel close with these social's plataforms jeje, and i think that are a little selfish, but in this case, i could see that i was wrong, because it was very fun to me.
A good reason to be a nice experience, is that, in almost every post, we choose the topic to write, so everyone wrote comfortably, and i think that nodoby feel stressed writing of that way.

Normally i think about sentences, and in my mind have sense, but that's because i'm forgotting a lot of main grammar rudiments, and for that reason is important the correction that every week write the teacher, because only in that way, i can be better, and that's the main idea, i think that with the correction and with the time against us in this second block of the class, i MUST to think fast, because if i don't do it, and i stay thinking over and over again, but without write something, i can finish with a bad score.
So that (little) pressure, is very useful, and that permitting, think, write, and speak in english, is like one concept, where you mix up, those three things, the ideas start to come to you, in english too.
I think that the main advantage of blogging in the english class, is that i can ask for some help to the teacher, because if the blogging part was at home, maybe i'll waste my time in some page, looking for my doubts, and probably i'll make the same and more mistakes than here, so with somebody who helps you to clarify your ideas, is easier.
And probably the main disadvantage is that this class is on friday's afternoon, and you feel very tired, the only that you want, is rest!, so is hard to keep focus and clever.
Also, how you just have this second block to write, is complicated, finish at home, because normally, fridays i go out to some place, to relax, or have fun. There is other problem too, how is the last day of class, sometimes you forget finish the post, because i distracted a lot every weekend. But these are just details, not main problems, depends of everyone, maybe only i feel like that, and isn't a class problem.

It was very fun, i changed my impression about blogs, and this helped me, to learn more and keep trying to be better.

Muay Thai

Before all, i've to say that after of start this year, i don't practice any sport, because i don't have time, but i think that the main reason is because i'm now a lazybones jejeje, but untill the summer i was practice muay thai. It's a thai kickboxing, probably one of the most efficent martial arts created by the man, even when in america, the abstract concept, has being misunderstood, for that reason it's a global sport, and also, because it's one of the sports where you can hit in more places on the body, without make a fault, in difference of kick boxing and full contact.
Well about the rules i'll write about the main importants, because there is a lot.
Before all, like every sport, it's a foul if you deliberately strike the groin area, if it's chance, you've least points, but that could be a reason to loose the fight, every foul to remove points of you, the highest score is 10, you can't strike with you head or heel, you can kick the body of your opponent, but if it's a frontal kick, you only can strike over the waist, you can strike in the back of the neck and in the back, that are places that normally you can't strike, you can't hold the rope, and you can't to hang your opponent, because it's a sport of projection, the material rules about the ring, referee, and number of rounds, depend of the country, but normally, there is rounds of 3 minutes.
I like this sport because even when it's violent and hard, and when i'm not tall or big, is very disciplined and tidy up your life, you feel better, more clever, and when you've a lot of angry inside, is the best way to channel it, and after you feel clean witout angry or bad feelings.
Now i'm not practice this, but in two weeks i'll comeback, after the exams.

This photograph was taken by Gary Go, a photographer of Paula's magazine but usually he take photos in hardcore's shows for some band of Gary Go's friends or bands that he admires, also he do it free, just for passion (normally). This photograph shows the Bane's show in Santiago, as a part of the sudamerican tour of the band.
The photograph was taken on march 20, in Piraña Rock's bar, a place that normally there are many international shows.
I like this photograph a lot, because shows all the energy of these shows, in general hardcore's show are like a festival, almost you never touch the floor, because all time people launch you up, and you fly over the heads of everyone and fall over their shoulders or heads, and the same people makes you advance to the stage ( people call this "stage diving" or simply "stage"), and this photograph show when all the people want to sing with the singer, but literally, taking the microphone, across all the people by a "stage". Also hardcore music had a lot of "chorus", this is when in the record many people sing some tenses, and you notice all the voices screaming, so when the band play those songs everyone jump to the stage to sing with the band over the stage, and that's is too normally in these shows, and this photograph show it too.
Normaly hardcore is associate with "violence", but it isnt's in all the cases, there are a lots of possitives hardcore show's, and those are like a catharsis for everyone, because the message of the band is, actually, against the violence. And this photograph show not just the energy, also the emotion too, there is euphoria not violence.

My favourite Hobby

Well, my favourite hobby is read novels, but usually existentialist novels. Normally you must to read many books in the school, but i really started to love it, since i have to read El Tunel of Ernesto Sabato, when i was 15. Since that book, i found something new in books, i found a strange feeling that mixed up love-sadness-death-loneliness, but now in Latinoamerica, so i felt it too close to me. After i complete that feeling reading Sobre Héroes y tumbas and i understood better the thinking of Sabato.
Also i found the same feeling with Cortázar, Benedetti, Borges, and too in writters from all the world like Kundera, Sartre, Camus and Salinger.
Everytime that i don't have to study i read some books that i'm interested in, or i write the university reports about of novels that i love. I think that the main thing when you read, is feel the history as it was your own life, when you identify with a history, you don't feel lonely with you ideas and feelings, you start to understand that there are a lot of people that is loving, suffering, feeling like you.

My favourite piece of technology

Well, probably "my favourite piece of technology" is not a hard topic to write or think to me, because i'm not feel to close to any material thing, with the only exception of my guitar. I'm addicted to the music, but not just listen it, i love to play it too. So my favourite piece of technology is my ibanez guitar, it's a new purchase, actually i bought it just the last week, i play it usually in my house plug in to the amplifier and switch on or by an adapter into the notebook to record something and save some ideas, so if i normaly play the guitar a lot, now that i've a new one, i play it at least one or two hour every day (but it's just for now, because with the study i don't have so much time). I like it, because as an instrument is a way to take out a lot of feelings and ideas, and structurally sounds awesome, because i play in a very low tuning and actually i broke my other guitar's fingerboard, and one of the reasons of that, was the very low tuning (and because i play it hard), so without it, life would be TOO boring, i need to play everyday it's something almost inmanent in me.

My Favorite Festivity

MEAT OUT DAY, it's the name for the festivity that pretend make that people don't eat meat and don't use products tested on animals. This happend every march 20, in a lot of countries. It isn't an old tradition, this exist just since 1985.
This festivity is supported for a lot of institutions that pretend a vegetarianism diet in people, and animalism way to make conscience in people about unfair animal's live by the heartless man's selfishness.
In this festivity vegan and vegetarian people cook all the food that you can imagine and give it free on the streets, and they don't use anyone product testing on animals, because they want to show to everyone that you can live well, eat tasty and not only the food that you normally eat, actually very new and interesting tastes.
This is absolutelly importan for the world because it isn't just an animalism festivity, in fact, is an ecologist and medical festivity, you are listening arguments from a lot of disciplines and all those for give a hand to animals, because no one else help them from the man's cruelty.
I like it because this festivity is for a good reason, a noble reason, and behind there is a movement that is shaking hard on the teenager's head! and is showing to us, the truth behind our beakfast, lunch, dinner or whatever that we eat and use, is showing to us how many tears there are in our food.

Irvin Yalom

Irvin David Yalom is an author of novels and nonfiction books, also he's an professor of psychiatry at Stanford University , and he's very famous by his existential psychotherapy, that's a point that he wrote usually on his novels.
He was born on june 13 of 1931 and he's still alive. He wrote usually about feelings like death, freedom, isolation, meaninglessness, all the things that make the existential realities, he believe in science and his skepticism about non-material or spiritual understandings of life, I don't agree with that, but I respect his thiking, and I really like how he wrote novels about that. That is mainly the reason that I admire him, because his way to write about feelings owns of existentialism, help me in a hard moment, and I read "when nietzsche wept" a really famous novel of him, and every word, every thought was representing everything that I was living, and the solutions and of nietzsche's problems, maked me RE-CONSIDERING the decisions i had made at that moment , and everything was right!, i could do the things in the right way. My reason of "why" i admire him, is a little sefish, but honestly to me it was really important.

My favorite music group!!

well, i MUST to say, that is really difficult to me write about my "favorite" music group, because i've a lot of them, but anyway, i'll write about one group that i like from a looooooooong time, they are:
Misery Signals, this is a group from USA, that born after the broke up of "7 angels 7 plagues", a really revolucionary band, in all senses, like music and contain, so don't wonder that misery signals start with a big influence of 7 angels 7 plagues.

They are a Technical Metal/hardcore band that don't use only dissonance in your songs (because that is the first idea that peoples think when heard about metal/hardcore), they play a lot with polyphonic structures and melodic scales to create a beautiful atmosphere in the middle of the dissonance's chaos, that's exactly what i love of they, the innovation, the progression, the emotional sense of them lyrics, because emotions are weird and you can't show from a very different ways, sometimes you need to scream, sometimes the feelings are so sweet that you just can sing it slowly, and sometimes you feel something that you can't show with words and the only way to make it music is precisely by an instrumental, and that make misery signals, all these own ideas they make it real.

EEEEEEEARTHQUAKE!

Well, that day i was in La Serena, and there was weaker than here (stgo), but that doesn't mean that i don't feel the earthquake, in la serena was strong (but i can't imagine how was here). I was without my family, i was in my (ex) GF's house (i don't know why i went [actually, i know but doesn't matter ]), the problem was that i thought immediatly in UFO or some weird thing, and for a little moment i thought that the world was falling in pieces hahahahaha. After there wasn't electricity so i don't knew nothing about my family (and fortunately i bought the ticket to the bus on friday's evening so i wasn't problems to comeback) and i was waiting till the morning, and finally i could talk with my family and they told me that everything was ok here =)!. The sunday's morning i comeback without a problem in the road. END!

About me

Hi everyone! , my name is felipe, i'm 18, and i'm psychology student of Universidad de Chile, i'm a quiet person, i like to read a lot, my whole life is music and i pretend to investigate the music as an active factor in the behavior, while i'm studying psychology, i think that art (in all expression) is a pure and true way to make life better in a chaotic and (horribly) rational world.
I enjoy simple things, i know that life is too short, but everyday can be amazing!. A walk in the park is my favorite activity, nothing more.
So that's what i am and i hope that if you read this, think about that you're wasting your life :D go outside and enjoy nature!
