Postgraduate studies

Hi, today I’m going to talk about a course that I would like to take in the future after my degree. I didn’t think about this because I always focused in goals in short terms; get my degree, be able to live alone, focused in other protects like music, etc. But, if I could think in some course or Magister after my degree I would say that a Magister in Social Neuroscience could be a great option, because the Program of Psychology in Universidad de Chile is focused in Social Sciences mostly, and I believe that Neuroscience it’s an area less explored, or that I didn’t exploited very well. In this program I would like to study about psychiatric drugs and their effects, the neuronal functioning of some basic psychological process like love, hate, depression, personality disorders, and how all this work in consideration of social context where we live. I would like to study in Chile, perhaps in Universidad Diego Portales, because they have a Magister in Social Neurosciences. But, the id...

My future job

Imagen
The kind of job that I like to have is as a musician playing my own songs and maybe completing this job as a musical producer. As you can imagine being a musician or artist isn’t profitable, unless you dedicate to pop music or styles with big audiences like  trap, reggaeton, electronic music, etc.   For this reason, and many others, like the fact that we are in Chile (extremely difficult to arise musically speaking) I believe that I would be a music producer to resolve my cost and to live moderately comfortable. I think this type of job would have two modalities: outdoor and indoor. On one side, being musician and play my songs or the band songs would be allowed to travel and work outdoors on tours or concerts. On the other hand, being a music producer is more an indoor work, because you have to mix and produce the projects that artists share with you and you have constantly to work with them to agree on how they want to sound. I would love to travel in this job, because...

My favorite band or singer

Hi, I'm going to talk about Roger Waters. I’ve liked Pink Floyd for almost ten years. When I was 12 years old I started to listen  to rock music, and obviously, at that moment I knew the most popular rock and metal bands; Guns n roses, Iron maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Pink Floyd, Motorhead, Ac dc, etc. In that time when I listened to Pink Floyd, instantly this band touched me, mainly for the strength and depth of the instrumentals, and because of the depressive and furious voice of Roger Waters and the crystalline and depth voice of David Gilmour. But at that time, I didn’t pay attention to the lyrics. Maybe when I was 15 years old I started to read the lyrics and also I saw the movie; The Wall. And at this moment I realized that Pink Floyd was a band with a political content but the way to express this stuff are very intelligent but simple; a perfect combination. My favorite song is Welcome to machine because I loved the keyboards and synths of this song. I have ...

Pets

Hello everyone, today I’m going to talk about my experience with pets. My experience with pets it’s basically it’s not so long. When I was 5 years old, my family wanted to sell or give away our dog Bobby, that was a mix between Siberian and mixed dog because he was ringworm, and to treat this disease, that was too expensive, my parents believed that Bobby would be in better hands in another family. Later, like we no longer live in a house, but in an apartment, my mom gives us a couple of “cotorras”, female and male, and I remember that they were very intelligent and sweet pets, but whit the time my sister and me noticed that it wasn’t healthy to cotorras be enclosed. Actually, we have two dogs; Ares and Tedy, and they are puppies. I think the best animals suited to be pets are cats because they are small and also their stools and urine are so small and it isn’t so smelly. Also, I think cats, are very flexible and aerobic (mostly) so they can be safe in any place because if they f...

Post 2- Blog Intermediate

Hi everyone, I’ll talk about the best concert I have ever been to. I have always been a big fan of music, especially rock, metal and electronic music, so I would say I have been in some concerts that marked me for life. The first concert that I was present was the tour of Guns n’ roses in 2010. In that concert, they promoted “Chinese Democracy” album and the show was in Movistar Arena.   Guns n roses is a hard rock/glam metal band formed in L.A, California in 1985. They separated in the middle of ’90s and Axl rose, vocalist and pianist of the band continued to work in solitary and at the same time, he appropriated the name of the band. Soon after that, some members of Guns n Roses formed a new band called Velvet Revolver. So basically, the concert I have been in 2010, was the concert of Guns n Roses, but with a single member of the old formation: Axl Rose. The music wasn’t the best because many songs of the album Chinese Democracy were played, and I wanted to listen ...

The last blog ;(

Imagen
Hi everyone, I think this is the last time that we can read our blogs. To be honest, I’d say that the experience of the blogging activities has been very useful, because we have been able to learn stuffs related to British and North American culture. In other hand, some post have been really funny and interesting, like the post related to paranormal phenomena and related technology. The blog that I really enjoy reading and writing was about series and movies, because like I’m a fan of films, I really needed know which movie or series I was losing. Respect about the skills that I feel have developed in my writing, I think that vocabulary and semantics have been increased. In the future I would like include more feedback from teacher and classmates; for example doing more activities in pairs, oral interactions and maybe to debate with classmate about a topic proposed by teacher in his blog. Finally, would be interesting write about topics that aren’t related with our ...

Paranormal Phenomena

Hi, today I will tell you about paranormal phenomena. As teacher say in his post, life is boring so people created fantasy and mythology to make their lives more insteresting. But, I also believe   that are many events   in the world that happens without an explanation and for this reason human beings created histories to feel  the world is coherent and everything happens by an explanation. In my life, there are a few events that I can´t yet find an explanation for that, and one of them is a paranormal phenomena. This event was 7 years ago, and I thing that is very boring but is the only paranormal thing on I was into jj. In a night, when I was 15 years old aprox, my mom and my sister go out to the graduation of my older sister. So, there was   nobody home. The thing is that when I was on the verge of fall asleep, I started to hear a sound of a breath very noisy and loud, so I immediately woke up and though “Ohh, maybe they come back earlier and probably is t...
