My first guitar =)

This has been one of the most important presents that someone has given to me. If I remember well, my grandmother gave me a little guitar when I was eight or nine years old, I think it wasn't in my birthday, actually, I don't remember the reason.

 It wasn't a normal guitar, it was a "kid size" guitar and it was very useful because the size let me play better and more comfortable (when I say "better", you have to imagine I played horrible in that time haha).

I used that guitar since I got it three or four years ago .There was another guitar in my house, but I loved this one and I liked to play it, so, as you can see, it was really important to me. 

A few years ago, my sister told me she wanted to learn to play guitar, and she wanted to use that guitar, because she has tiny hands and it was very comfortable to her, so I decided (with a lot of pain in my soul and my heart) to lend her my guitar. 

Last year I bought a new guitar, who is my partner now (haha), but sometimes I want to go to my sister's house and bring my tiny guitar back to me, because I know it has to be in some dark place, with not use, and  covered in dust :C .

First day

           If I remember well, I felt very strange at the beginning of my first day at university, because I was going to know a lot of people who could become an important part of my life in the future, that is to say now, and because I was going to study something I didn't know very much about, in fact, I decided to study psychology the same day of the applications, so, as you can see, it all was new for me haha.

           I remember that day I met Rocío, in an activity where all the students had to talk with another one, in pairs (and now we are good friends =)  ), and then we had to present our partner to the rest of the group..... that kind of activities that psychologists invent haha.... but it let me know a nice friend.

          I remember the first classes were exiting, because the teachers were presenting to me a lot of interesting new things, but along the time, I have realized that not everything that glitters is gold, but although that, I like what I study.

         When I decided to study psychology I knew that it would't be the only stuff I was going to study, because I really want to learn and study music someday, so I hope I can do it in the future.

Esteban

         Today I'm gonna talk to you about a friend, Charly García.... haha, no, it's a joke, we are not so close with Charly, although we hang out together sometimes.

         Well, speaking seriously, I would like to introduce you a nice friend of mine, Esteban. I met Esteban at school, I know him since we were 6 years old, and we were classmates until we finished school. He is a very quiet man, who loves peace and overcoat he loves music, in fact, he's studying "composition" in Universidad Católica.

          I think the music is what we have in common. I remember when we were in school we had a band together in a music workshop. Until then, Esteban hasn't show real interest in music, but he realized his love for the music while we were in that workshop. After that, his skills took off and now he's a person who knows a lot of music and spends the most of his time doing music.

         There was a time that we met three or four times in a year, but now I meet Esteban every week, because he's teaching me music theory and sol-fa. Although we both love music, we listen totally different styles of music; he likes classical, and I like trova, rock, bossa nova and popular music; but the things he teach me can be used in every style.

A strange term

        2012 has been an stranger year, because the first term was very different than others. In that term, I had five subjects at the University, one less than other terms, and they represented five areas of psychology: clinical, communitarian, educational, industrial-organizational, and forensic. Well, I have to admit that term was very demotivating because all the areas looked bad haha, but now, this term, I have a better vision of my career and I feel surer about my decision.

         Well, the first term I did not just study, I played guitar, played football, hanged out with friends, enjoyed live music... in fact, I spent more time in that activities than studying haha, no, I'm just kidding, I mean I spent a lot of time in that activities, but obviously not more than studying (sure, obviously...).

          There was a terrible and painful moment in the first term; it was the death of a great person and musician, Luis Alberto Spinetta, one of the fathers of Argentina's Rock. But the first term had some unforgettable moments too.I was in Fito Paez's concert and it was amazing. Also, I was in Charly García's concert, where he reviewed all of his career as a musician, since he started in Sui Generis.

Santiago

Well, I was born in Santiago, and I have lived all of my life here, so I think I have an unconditional love for this city. Here I have lived good and bad times, tiny and big happiness moments, and moments of sadness too, but what I want to say is that I have "lived" here, I'm not talking about to spend time in a place, I'm talking about to live.

I like technology, and Santiago is one of the most technological cities in Chile, but I it doesn't make up for the lack of green areas and peace. If you like to party and have fun, Santiago it's a great place to do that, because you can find a lot of places where to hang out with friends and party, but you have to be careful, because there's a lot of delinquency too.

Santiago is considered like the centre of Chile by some people, well, I disagree with that. Santiago has a lot of services, communication and a lot of work too, but we can't forget that Santiago also has a lot of stress and delinquency. I really like to have hospitals and schools near the place I live, but it's horrible to have to spend a lot of time to get there, because of the traffic.

I would like Santiago to have a better environment, about the green areas and also about the people. The people are always in a hurry and stressed, I think that's because they have to work a lot and they don't have enough rest.

I love this city, but I think it lacks peace and happiness.

The crime of the truth

        The Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange (who has been granted asylum in the Ecuador embassy, in West London) gave a speech aimed to all the people who follow him and invited USA government to stop the hunt against Wikileaks.

        I think the only crime that Assange has made, is show us the truth. Some Institutions and organizations, like FBI, don’t want the people know the truth, because they are afraid of people know all them secret and discover some things that will deteriorate the FBI image.

        I think Ecuatiorians were right when they decided to offer Assange political assignment, because, although they can get into a big problem with USA government, they are not just defending a man, they are defending the truth, and all the people should defend the truth.    

          

        I don’t know how the case will end. Maybe the USA government will catch him and they will sentence Assange to go to prison, or maybe they will sentence to death. But I think we must join forces and together …
