The story of how Ramona IV came to our lives

Five or six years ago, a client of my dad had puppies, mix of husky with german shepherd. My siblings and I wanted a dog from always, so my dad asked his client for a puppy. Two weeks later, Domi, as we named it, died. We were very sad, and for that, my mom and my dad decided take home a couple of rabbits, the male, Juanin, and the female, Ramona I. One day, the rabbits were in the yard when the neighbor's cat entered and after of a fight with Juanin, he enter to the house, scared and runing very fast, with blood on his nose, we understood what was happening and run to the yard, Ramona I was no longer, the cat took it in his mouth. The next few weeks, Ramona II arrived, then Ramona III, all suffered the same fate. Finally, Ramona IV came into our lives, and she survived the neighbor's cat and made him company to Juanin, they we were happy one year, until one day, Juanin died, while jumping crazy in the yard, crashed and broke his neck. Ramona was left alone and she seemed ...

Spots and long neck

Imagen
I’ve been thinking about an animal that I consider interersting and unknown, and I decided tell you about giraffe, just because I love them. This animal isn’t unknown to the people but still, they don’t know very much about giraffe and Isn’t an animal that many people like. They are interesting for me because they are very tall, It’s the tallest animal in the world, I wonder how they can be so high constantly. Also, because they look like cows but with a very long neck, this thing interest me in a particular way, I don’t think it’s easy for them to hold their neck. Other thing that I consider very interesting is his tongue, which is black and can measure up to 50 cm. Also, they can sing, they can perform vocalizations similar to those of cows, so they do not look like cows just because of their spots. Giraffes lives in Africa, they are usually in a pack but they are separated. Something they do and that seems strange, is the “necking”, where the males fight by hitting their necks...

The Upcoming Summer

Most of the summers I don’t go on vacation, I usually stay in Santiago, I go a couple of times to the beach and for a few days. It’s not that I don’t like to travel or to know new places, on the contrary, I love it and I would like to be able to travel more often. There are two reasons why I can’t do it and one of those is for my fault. I don’t travel very often, first, because I still live with my family, and we don’t have an economic situation that allows us to go on vacation.Yes, I know, I’m of legal age, and I can work to raise money and travel, but this is the second reason: I don’t work. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I’m lazy, I just that during the year I don’t have the time and, in the summer,, I prefer to work occasionally, selling handmade fruit ice cream or clothes. I would like to go to La Unión, a small town that is located in the region of the rivers, I would like to visit my maternal grandmother. I miss her. I don’t plan to participate in any "organized...

A photograph I like

Imagen
In the summer of 2017, my family and me, traveled to Perú only for vacation. This picture was taked in february on the beach of Lurin in the city of Lima. It was taken by me, isn’t very good but in that moment I was just learning to use my camera. This place was our first stop when we returned for the first time after 15 years. I like this picture because as I said, it was the return to my father's country. I felt so strange because I did not remember how the beach looked there, but it was beautiful and the water was much warmer than in the Chilean beaches, so I wasn't afraid to wet my feet. At that time I was going through episodes of anxiety and anguish caused by the first year of my major, and I know, this will isound like a cliche, but, this trip helped me to feel better and find myself.

A skill I admire: the patience

Imagen
There are so many skills that I admire, for example, the skill of learn to play any instrument, or write a book.   I believe that the skill that englobe all those things that I mentioned, are the skill of be patient.   I believe that this is a great skill because in this world all is very quick, and the people doesn’t take the time to do the things or look around carefully, not superficially. The people pass the side of another and apparently doesn’t care about the others, they want all immediately, I really stress me, this thing pass especially in a big and full of people cities, like Santiago.   I’m not a patient person, on the contrary, I'm very impulsive, but I try to be patient. This skill is very helpful, I think that do the people learn to do anything and live a better life, with more tranquility, they are less stressed. I think that if you are patient you can be happier and understand the processes of each thing. If I were patient, I think it would be a bett...

My dream job

One of my “dream jobs” is to be a filmmaker, I suposed that this dream is becoming reality. So I will tell you about my other dream job: to be a very famous and great singer of popular music. In my family, music is very important, my father plays guitar and sing. My siblings and I, always have been interesting in learn. They know plays guitar but I never learned. I just wanted singing all the time but in secret because I was ashamed. I don’t wanted that my family listened to me, because they always compared me to my sister, she sings very nice. When I was a child I imagined myself in a big concert with million of people listened to me and singing my imaginary songs. In that dream job, I would travel a lot around the world, I would know many countries. I would never be  in an office. Well…yes, but just to sign my contract. Almost all the time I forget my other dream job, that maybe isn’t a job. I study cinema and tv now, and thats make me very happy, but when I thinking I realiz...

Friends

I think that a friend is a person that can be trusted. There are different types of friendship. There are friends in the neighborhood, in the school, the university or of work. There are the friends to whom we entrust our greatest secrets, and others with whom we only have a good time, but always, in all those friends we should to be able to trust in some way. In my life, friendship is one of the most important things, I have changed friends many times, but I remember them with a lot of affection. Now I don’t have many, but the few that I have, help me to distract myself, especially from the stress of the university. I remember when I was a child, with my friends we played "making a movie" and I was the screenwriter, the director and the others acted, at that moment it seemed very real. Also, I have had good experiences with friends in recent years, especially when we were traveled to Valdivia for a film festival. So, friends aren't forever but they are always impor...
