Love/Hate relation with earthquakes


In February of 2010 a big earthquake happened in Chile and the epicenter was in the south of the country. That was my first experience with that kind of phenomenon and was very scary. I think that since that day I became in a person that hates earthquakes because they scare me a lot.
In September of 2015 another earthquake occurred, but this time it was less strong and the epicenter located in the north of Chile, specifically in a little village called “Canela”. That place is very close to the village where my grandmother lives so that year my family and I have to travel quickly to my grandmother’s house. Fortunately she was ok, but her house wasn’t. It was a house made of adobe so with the movement it became inhabitable. Was so difficult to my grandmother see how her house was demolished because she had lived all her live there. I remember that earthquake coincided with national holidays –Fiestas Patrias- so for that reason the “fondas” were suspended.
If you don’t know what “fondas” mean, let me tell you that are places that sell typical food and drinks during Fiestas Patrias. One of the best-selling drinks is called “Terremoto” (“Earthquake”) but that kind of earthquake doesn’t scare me so much, in fact I love it! Hahaha… But let me tell you that after the 3rd Terremoto you should be scared haha…
Few days left to national holidays and I hope that doesn’t repeat what happened in 2015. And also I hope that you taste and enjoy the “Terremotos” at fondas as I enjoy it! But remember… after the third drink, be careful.

A Bad Week

The last week was really bad to me. First, I don’t know why but at the beginning of week I felt so sad and I just wanted to cry. Has it ever happened to you? Whatever, I don’t know what was the reason to be like that, it was so weird. Finally I cried a lot, but I think that was necessary because perhaps I had a stack of emotions and I had to let them out. Also I think that was because I’m Pisces and I have read that this zodiac sign is the most sensitive of all. What do you think? Despite everything I was very excited because at the Saturday night I had to go to J Balvin concert! So I think that I will finish my week very well… BUT the Sunday morning my mom told me really bad news: my grandmother’s dog was run over. That was like a “bucket of cold water” because we had adopted Kivi –the dog- when it was a puppy and then we take it to my grandmother’s house so actually I feel so sad when I heard the news because Kivi is old and I could not bear it to die. Unfortunately I don’t hav...

An Expected Concert

This month is so important to me for two reasons. First because I’m back in my blogger account! Second because at the end of this month will happen something that I’ve waiting for a very long time. Do you want to know what is it? Are you ready? This month José Álvaro Osorio Balvin -dubbed J Balvin- will be present in Santiago! And I’m very excited to go and enjoy him songs. If you don´t know this artist don't worry and let me tell you some things about him. J Balvin is a reggaeton singer born in Medellin, Colombia. He is 33 years old and he became globally known thanks to him 3 rd album called “La Familia”. In the concert of this month he will be present him new album called “Vibras” -that by the way I recommended you- and I’m very excited because I’m going to the show with my friend Gabriela! I can’t wait to the July 28! Even though exists a lot of negative opinions about this kind of music I think that this artist is different to others reggaeton singers who used aggressi...

Sociology Programme

Around the end of 2014 I decided that I wanted to focus my future in the social sciences. So I started to investigate about different careers and then while I was looking for the options, I decided to study sociology at University of Chile. As to manage that I had to do the PSU and achieve a good score. Finally I entered in the career that I wanted at the university that I wanted. So here I am in my second year of sociology. So let me tell you about the study programme of my career…  This career lasts 10 semesters –five years- and belongs to Social Science Faculty. But this doesn’t mean that the career doesn’t have a relation with mathematics. For example one of the subjects that I have is statistics! But also I have to read a lot in my others subjects like sociological theory, world history and Chilean history among others. For that reason this career has a big workload. In this point I think that the programme needs a change (okay I know that is so important read a lot, but no...
