Post 7: VeoVerde Website

Hi guys! Today I want to share you a good website related to my career. It is "VeoVerde", an environmental online newspaper. This includes more than forestry issues, frequently it have other news from other websites, probably runned by friends of “VeoVerde” creators. I like this website because news are related to environmental problems in all the world, also Chile, and usually the journalists write with official information, so I can look it and check the source.

I think that this website was developed for chilean people but I'm not sure. “Veoverde” is a spanish website, but "Betazeta Networks S.A." (yes, same company of CHW, FayerWayer, Niube, Belelú and Wayerless) has the main domain.

I don't use it to develop my university's works but it is a good starting point when I'm browsing on Internet. I use it to know original or news ideas about recycling, environmental tools, sustainability, green public policies, scientific investigations, the status of threatened species of flora/fauna, etc.

If you have free time, I recommend you this website. Its interface is so friendly and the webpage style is very nice!

Post 6: Music!!!

Hi bloggers! I haven't written a long time ago, I'm back! How are you? What do you do? Today I will speak about music ;)

I will say one thing: music is more than "listen to music" for me, it is an activity, I dedicate so much time to listening to music, watching videos, searching on the Internet about bands, music styles, OSTs, concerts and news about artists, etc. When I was in secondary school I played piano, but currently I don´t have time to play any instruments ;/ I will do it in a near future, though.

I listen different kinds of music, but all of them have one characteristic in common (or at least I believe that). The musicians that I listen use music as a tool of resistance, they have a noncommercial style to express their ideas, feelings, sensations or anything else, and that help me survive in modern life. I reject music styles like pop, romantic music, reggaeton music, MTV-music and a lots of American music in general... because you know, they are the empire and strongly dominant ideas are transmitted by that culture. I think about music as an expression of art, not as "bread and circus"... yes, music is a delicate topic for me... and probably you are thinking that I'm a crazy old man.

Well, you know, I don't have a "faaaaaavorite" band or artist, but I want to give you a piece of art obtained from another piece of art:

Post 5: A photograph I like

Hello Blogers. I like photos, but I don´t like to people take me photos. When I was a child, my mom always always was taking pictures in different moments, when I was in bathroom, when we went to the beach in family, in vacations, in schooldays, all the time my mom was taking photographs. My father liked it, but I and my brother and my sister didn´t liked it. So, all photographs in which I appear are bored. I prefer take a picture that appear in this.

I show you a photograph that I took. I took it in my past summer vacations in Puerto Misahuallí, Ecuador. Place is beautiful. It is a small town (less than a hundred people live there) near to Misahualli River and Napo River, very quiet and cozy. People are very friendly with tourist and hostals are cheap. I like this place and I want to return there some day...

In the photograph you can see a capuchin monkey. Central park of Puerto Misahuallí has many capuchin monkeys. They live there in freedom and tourist can interact with them. Monkeys are so sweet and funny but you always should stay alert because they are very agile and if they can, they will steal your food or your phone or you camera. However, a monkey bit me because I didn´t want to give him a butter bowl. His name was Peco. I don´t hate him even though he scared me.

Post 4: My pets

Hello bloggerssss. I like this topic, I like pets but I don´t like domination between humans and pets :/

I have had pets all of my life, but only cats and dogs. The first pet that I remember was a cat, Its name was "Ocarina". It was pet of my dad, he always have liked the cats. It died due to a neighbor poisoned it. In that moment I experimented the death ;(. When I was seven years old, I often adopted stray cats with my sister. My parents didn´t like it because isn´t easy support many pets, they shooed away it although it be difficult for them. Finally we (I and my sister) win!, we adopted a pregnant stray cat, its name was "Misisufina". 

In 2002, we moved away to another house and the cats (Misisufina and one of its daughter, Valentina) could not bear, Misisufina was ran over and Valentina gets sick and died. The era of cats ended. 

Now I have three dogs, "Mawa" (cocker spanish), "Toffy" (cocker) and recently "Danesa" (semi-chau chau). They are very important on my life and I have them much appreciation. Mawa and Toffy are my responsability and my sister. They are very happy (I think) and  active. They can walk without chain and I like it because I think that it give them freedom. 

I have a secret, when I don´t have someone to talk, I speak with them.

Post 3: Amaizing Technology

Hello Bloggers!!!! This topic is mine ;) because I like so very much the technology. Honestly, best expression for that is "me asusta pero me gusta", because the use of technology can be dangerous if it fall into the wrong hands :o.

In other post I explained that I don´t do "favorite things", but some pieces of technology appeal me. I will write about only two technology´s pieces.

First of all: computers. I think that it is the most increible invention in the history of the humanity. With its invention, the world began a new technological revolution and information age. It has evolved drastically but the mean idea is the same. Computers support all the programms, videogames, applications, and software in general that you use in your normal life. I had my first computer when I was 7 yeras old. Currently, I use my personal laptop all the time for different uses such as study, watching videos, talking with friends or family, etc. I know that I can live without a computer, but I don´t want to think about it. 

The other one are the AIs, although these are not exactly an object. Artificial Intelligence is a sophisticated software that try to imitate a human mind. In my opinion, it is an ultimate piece of technology. A perfect AI can take decisions without orders. This is the frontier between humans and machines... Science fiction´s movies and books, for example "Matrix", "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Metropolis", "Robot Dreams", "Ex machina", "Snow Crash" and some many others, provide a vision about AIs and its rol in society. Often, the question is ¿what is a human and what is a machine? ¿why?. Currently, scientistis have developed some prototypes of AIs, and they estimate that it will progress quickly to reach "sea of data" processing autonomously.

    

Post 2: Why did I choose Forestry?

Ok, this is a complicated topic for me as all the "vocations topics" because I don´t know clearly what I want and how I want... The questions relative to crucial or important decisions take me a lot of time to resolving it.
In my infancy I didn't think in careers or professions, just I liked some things. Nature, videogames, play with my friends in the passageway, ride ona bike, watch anime, etc. In the secondary school I started to worry about my future. I didn´t know what study when I passing school but I did know that I should study a career. So, I prepare PSU test thinking to access to Programa de Bachillerato, because people said "the program orients people and it is a good option for introduce you at university", but it wasn´t truth ;(. I learned a lot of subject, it was ok, but it wasn´t my objetive.

After three hardly semesters in the program (I didn´t want more) I had a little suspicion that Forestry could be a career for me. I visited Campus Antumapu and I liked it. Teachers and persons in charge were very polite and friendly with me. Another important aspect was that I saw me working in future in a relative forestry´s area.

I still have my vocationals questions, but for the moment it is funny.            

Post 1 : My autobiography

Hello people. I let´s talk you about myself and my life. I was born in Santiago (I hate this city), in 1994, but I was baptized in Carahue, a little town near Temuco. I´m not a religious man but my family yes. I think that religion is a perverse institution and personally I don´t trust it. I studied twelve years in religious schools (San Viator School). Later I entered Universidad de Chile, and currently I study Forestry in this university. My family is big because we are six people and two pets. I have two sisters and one brother. I don`t have specifics activities that I do in my free time, it`s very variable, but I like share with my friends a lot, see movies and documentarys in my computer and cinema, ride in bike, eat a lot of food, go for a walk with my pets, listening music, etc. In general, I don´t have "favorite color" or "favorite food" or "only best friend", etc., in my opinion these categories are not necessary to my person.
