BLOGGING IN FAU

Hi fau bloggers:

Today is our last blog post of the semester, so I would like to write about my experience in making them. First I must be honest and mention that it was quite difficult to make a blog post, because for me it is not easy to write and expand on topics such as travel, or meals that I like, or friend of childhood, and less if it should be done in English; but I really enjoyed it, because it made me think of such common things that I had not paid attention.

The blog post that I enjoyed most was that of my best friend, in that I tell you about my dog called Capitán, that you remember it?, I picked up to Capitán from the street in a rainy day in the year 2014, since then we have been inseparable. He together with my other pets are a great companionship. I really like to write about him, because he has been along with others  pets and persons, factors very importan in my treatment against the TAB. 

The post that I enjoyed least was "A holiday", this is because I did not know what to write, because I did not remember where I had gone, or what I had done, so that I had to ask my family or invent some things, jskajs I know this sound ridiculous. And the other post that was the most difficult to write was "A chilean building or Landmark", because since I entered university I have not had much time to travel outside of the Santiago city, so I have not known places and I do not think much about it either.

The last question is very hard "Which of your classmate's blogs you enjoyed reading and why?", mmm.. I can not decide jskaj, my choice is between Alan and Mauricio, I choose both, because we have things in common, such as activities and favorite foods; it is also fun to read their publications and tell them.

Bye my followers was a pleasure to share with you a part of my life.

A CITY YOU WOULD LIKE TO VISIT

Hi geo blogsters, welcome to my blog:

Today I would like tell you about a city that I want to visit, the which is Venecia. This city is located to the northeast of Italia, built over of an archipielago of 118 small islands joined together for 155 bridges. Has a humid subtropical climate, with cold winters and hot summers, in a way is a little similar to Chile.

Venecia is characterized for your historical, architectural and lanscape beauty, between which it distinguishes the tourist attraction like Venecia Carnaval, Basilica San Marcos church, La Fenice Theater, Palazzo Ducale and a long dock through of the Veneta Lake, the which have a railway track that links this with the continent.

I would like to visit this place with my family, we are fascinated for your customs and traditions, like the typical food dishes, like the pasta and the pizza, this is very delicious, I would eat this all the time. I recommend try the fontanna di pasta, is a mixture of flavors, that will take you to other world.

Among the activities that I would love to do, are to travel at night in a gondola on the Venetian canal, listening italian romantic music, as songs of Andrea Bocelli and Nada Malanima, while the lights of the houses illuminates us. I would also like to participate in the carnival, which is a tradition since 1296, which is currently carried out in the month of February, which consists of the natives being disguised with ostentatious and beautiful costumes to expose them to tourists who only have a simple mask.

I hope travel to this place some time, and I would commented my experience, see you later in the next post.

A SPECIAL MEALS

Hello everyone:

Today one more time I would like write about a special meal that I remember. When I was a child with my parents, my sister and my cousin were goin to eat to the Central Market, localizated near of the Mapocho river. Of the many times we went I remember one of this, I mean to the year 2009 when were to the restaurant "Donde Augusto" because my sister graduated from the fourth grade, in this place we had lunch all kinds of seafood, from clams to crab suckers, and fruit desserts. This meals was very delicious, not only for the diversity of dishes, if not that for the nice companionship. 

I remember this meal like special, because this was one of the last time that we all went out together as a family, since my sister Javiera in 2010 went to study at Viña del Mar city and my cousin Blanca in 2015 got married and changed of house. For this reason this is a special meal for me, I hope back to enjoy of a similar meals together with they, and of course with my dog pets, which are an important part of our current family.

I think that we would can have a special means again, when we go to live to Talca city, because the house is very big with a spacious garden, in that we can put a long table with a lot food, in that let´s remember the old times, as we did a few years ago.

Bye see you the next week!

A FRIEND

Hi faublogers:

Today I would like tell you about a very special friend, I mean my dog called Capitán. I know that no many people have this kind of frienship with a animals, but I do, and is very amazing achieve this type of connection with someone that belongs to another species.

Capitán is a male dog, is  3 and a half years old, he is a mixed between rottweiler and labrador race, he has a square head and his coat is black. Because his big size the house is small for he. 

I picked up to Capitán from the street in a rainy day in the year 2014, since then we have been inseparable. He together with my other pets are a great companionship. What I like the most about my dog friend is your unconditional loyalty, always he go with me anywhere. The most of the time I think in how fortunate I am to have him by my side.

The main activities that we do together is walk in the park, play with the ball  and eat a lot. We have also gone for a walk to the Maipo river, where we bathe in the water pool. No doubt my friend is a great saves lives, is pending that I did not drown.

I hope that soon I can take my three pets t tho the countryside in Talca, where they can run freely without restrictions. The house in which we currently live is very small, so they are easily stressed.

See you the next week!! Bye

A NATURAL PLACE

Hi dear friends, welcome to my blog: 

A natural place to which I was is The National Park Tolhuaca, this is located in the Araucanía Region, between the communes of Curacautín and Collipulli; this place houses a big quantity of native flora and fauna, for wich is very important the protection of this Park before possible threats, like is forest fire, drought and floor degradation.

The only time I went to this Park was the summer year before last, I went with my sister Javiera and our friend Kelly in her car; Kelly have that drive for about seven hours from Santiago to Carahue, we sleep in one house and the next day she have drive three hours more for arrive to the National Park Tolhuaca.

Once we arrive we did trekking for two half hours outward, in the ascent way we observe very many araucarias and a diversity of birds; the back was a little more fast and less terrible.

While this trip was very exhausting I liked for their amazing landscapes, that we can observe from up of the mountain, and help to get distracted to the life in the city; I recommend that you visited to natural place, you not regret!.  

A CHILEAN BULDING OR LANDMARK

Hi classmate:

Today I would talk to you about a chilean bulding or landmark that I want to know. For a long time I have a dreamed of going to Parque Nacional Torres del Paine, the which is one of the more big and important nacional parks of Chile. This is located to 112 km to the north of Puerto Natales and to 312 km of the Punta Arenas city, in the Región de Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena. I have never visited this parks, I have only seen it by online photos.

I would like to realize this trip with my family and my pets. I think that this is a great idea for to do trekking, in the circuit W, in the which that you can walk for mountains, rivers, lakes and glaciers, while you see the beauty of the landscape. The fauna of the park is very varied, since it owns a great amount of native fauna of Chile. The easiest to observe are guanacos, those that travel in large herds.

Torres del Paine is a perfect place for the nature lovers and adventure sports, so that is ideal for me and for my friends Alan and Mauricio. I would go for one week, in which I would try to know the whole park, the first thing that I would do be to photograph the different types of animals, reptiles and birds; drink water from the wellspring and try wild fruits. For sure it would be a trip in which I would learn a lot.

I hope see you the next Thursday!!

FREE POST: SOMETHING YOU FEEL PASSIONATE ABOUT

Hi classmates:

Today I would like tell you about something that I feel passionate, this is help to the dogs in street condition. This activity consists in that I go to squares with dog food and sometimes water to share to the largest number of dogs, and if I have time also I do it when I move to other places. JEJEJE I have permanent diners, but never missing a new puppy always arrive, whereby the food is reduced for all.

I started this king of volunteering since I went to university for study geography, because I became aware of the precarious conditions in the which abandoned animal lived, especially sector where I live. This personal project even reached to try rescue eight dogs of the street, wich were on the verge of death. Of them the half saved. This is a difficult task, because it is sad, they are like childrens.

I do not tell you this for to be awarded for performing this activity or receive some special merit, quite the opposite, I want to raise awareness in today´s people of that for help, all that is needed is the will. Nothing is impossible if you insist on achieving.

The initial idea of my personal project still stands, and I think adapt it in the new city in the which I will live, I to refer to Talca city. I miss to the puppies of my current commune, but is time that I go help to other needy animals..

I hope you enjoy this post,  see you later!

A HOLIDAY

Hi bloggers:

This thursday I would like tell you about a great holiday I had. This corresponds to the trip that I realized with my family and my pet to a river localizated in the Cajón del Maipo, in February of the 2015. I can´t mention what was exactly the river to which I went, because I do not remember. But yes I can describe the places, for that you imagine that which could be. To enter this place you should pay one time $5.000 for car, inside of this had a thorn vegetation, little natural pools, and a river, whose water are warm and crystall clear.

We stayed in this place for one week, in this time we explored the nearby hills, we live the life without the amenities offered by the city, far the cars noise,  feeling the soul of the nature and living together with the others life forms. I and my dog pet Capitán, after of every food we were going to refresh to the river, this was very entertaining; to see how Capitán played in the water trying to grab a fish, it made me very happy. I don´t remember a moment more exciting like this, in that me and Capitán we feeling very connected.

I ejoyed a lot have gone to this places because sometimes is good return to feel part like a component of the nature, with more similar characters that different with the other animals, without believe us owners of all. 

Thank you for read this post, I hope see you the next Thursday again. Bye!!

AN EXHIBITION OR CONCERT I ENJOYED

Hi Blogsters:

Welcome back to class, today I would like write about of the only concert that I have gone. This was a concert of my prefer singer Melendi (I think that talked about him), in April of the year 2015, in the Caupolicán Theater. First I consider important tell you how I met to him,  I met to Ramón Melendi for the television in a music channel, he was singing "Tu jardín con enanitos", until that moment I did not have a special connection with this type of art, but his way of sing captivated me, specifically with that song.  That is how started my passion for the rumba music.

Back to the concert topic, when I heard sing, experienced all the emotions together, sad, happiness and love; I could feel the music touring my body. Definitely this was one of the moment more blissful of my life, and I will remember for a long time. Do you will ask, why I enjoyed a romantic concert if  this is one of many others?, sincerely I not feel that this has been a ordinary concert, because I assisted to my sister and another person who was important for me, and the music described exactly to myself in that instant.    

Now, every time I listen the Melendi songs, my mind back to the past, being to revive those memories. So that I can tell you, that the music is a time capsule, that carries you to amazing places, overcoming the space and time.


Goodbye classmates, and remember that I publish post every Thursday. Regards!!

Hi guys:

Welcome to one week more to my blog, today I will write about one kind very important for me. This is the new member of my famlily, it´s a puppy of six months old, that lived in the street. His name is Tupaq Amaru, we named him, not in honor to the famous american rapper like you can tink, but for Tupac Amaru II, indigenous leader that carried out the rebellion anticolonial major that happened in Hispanic American, during the century XVIII. This is for that my father is lover of the native towns history that fought against to spanish conquerors; and the condition for adopt to Tupaq was of he had this name. 

Tupi (his nickname) carry in the house two months, he is very well, almost completely recovered to the scabies. Is very playful and affectionate, all in the house we love it, especially my female dog Bianka, that is like his substitute mom, because too we picked it up to she of the street. 

They are the soul of the home, they look like really childrens. Every time when I stay in the house, I take them to square, so that now they are very happy of  to be alive, and we too that they are. 

Until the next Thursday Fau blogers, and remember that ever is best adopt animal, and not buy. Goodbye!!

SOMETHING ARTISTIC I ENJOY DOING

Good morning FAU blogers:

Is me again, I will like write about of a something artistic that I enjoy doing, are the crafts. This activity consist of creation of various types crafts, especially those destinated to the decor of the houses and of school supplies. I know, for very much people is bored occuped his time in this, but it's entertaing to me. Jejeje I am very tediuos.

I initiated to practice this when I started to go kindergarden, to the four years old. My mom ever assist to colour. I loved trim gum eva and magazines, and after stick it in my notebook, because for me it is a kind of art making. I feel serenity while I do it, help me to keep clear mind. It´s a therapy for my brain, besides encourages motor skills with the hands.

Sincerely mine are not the artistics things, I prefer the contact with the animals and the nature, I think that is different way of doing art; in the end all is art if we do it with passion and love.

I invite you to do whichever thing let´s think of it, although be very silly. Regards my classmates, until the next time.

Hi bloggers:

Welcome to my blog, maybe you not all meet me, my name is Valentina, I am student in fourth of the career of geography. 

Today I´d like write about a family photography, that was taken in 2001, in the front yard of house of my grandmother Zulema, in the poblation La Victoria. I do not know who took the photo.

In this photography appears my sister Javiera (the eldest, located in the middle) she had ten years old, my cousin Blanca (sitting in the left) who grew up with us, she had five years old, and me (to the right), I had the same age of Blanca. 

In that time we were little girls,  we loved  wear waistcoat, loose divers and shiny shoes, it was the fashion. We wore combed hairstyles with ribbon. I like it because remember me so happy that we were in that years, for our big smile to look to the camera. Without worries nor problems, we just thought in to have fun and eat. With the time, our destination separated whan we started to the higher education, in differents cities; so that this picture is a memory of my childhood, together with two people I considerer importants in the actually I am. 

Regards classmates!!
