Autobiography



Hi everyone and welcome to my first blog:

I was born in Santiago de Chile, in 1995, and I have lived here all my life. Initially I lived with my two parents in the commune of Lo Prado, but they separated when I was four years old and I went together with my mom and my brother to my maternal grandparents' house in Quinta Normal. I have always lived in the same neighborhoods and I like to live in this part of the city.
During my education I went through many colleges in the sector. In the elementary school I went through the Villa España, Principe de Gales and Madre Vicencia schools in the commune of Estación Central. While during high school I continued for a few years at the Liceo Madre Vicense, but I changed to the Liceo Manuel Barros Borgoño to finish the high school after the student mobilizations of 2011. In 2014 I began to study a Bachelor's degree in History at the University of Chile, but I did not like the degree and I entered Social Work in 2016 at the same university.



Most of my grandparents come from the countryside and are originally from the central zone of Chile. Only my maternal grandmother comes from abroad, since her family immigrated from Ukraine after the two world wars to Latin America.



For some years now, I have only moved by bicycle. I like to move around the city like that, since this way I don't spend money and it is a more ecological form of transport. Although that has changed in recent months with the pandemic, since we cannot leave our homes much. Since the confinement began, we have dedicated ourselves to planting different things in my house, including vegetables and fruit plants for the interior of the house, to native trees that we are preparing for urban reforestation in the neighborhood.


Thanks for reading this blog and good luck to all.

My favorite piece of technology

 I think that currently my favorite piece of tecnology is our big lcd television. My maternal family bought it taking adventage of the sales of the Soccer World Cup of South Africa in 2010. It is the only big tv that we have, because the other televisions are more old, have a small screen and are big in the back part, besides not capture the signal so well. How is our only big TV we have a shared use, so we have to agreed when each member of the family use it. I use to play some movies and series on it, usually in the night, with the lights of the living room off. We use it a pair of times in the week, normaly in the weekend or when we have free times. I like it because is fun to see any serie or movie on it, like if we have our own personal cinema in our living room. Currently this television break down at the begining of the quarantine and we send it to the mechanic to repair it and he said us to we need to replace the motherboard because it blew by a excessive use and because th...

Music

I don't use to listen a lot of music in my daily life, but currently my favorite group is Rapalapar Rockers, a rap group by Santiago of Chile. I like their lyrics since in their songs they convey certain content about ways of life critical to the materialism of today's society, in addition to including a lot of cultural references to cult movies, animated series broadcast in the 90s and even books that I had to read for school.  His records have gone through different keys, since Ars Moriendi (2011) with dark songs like Aguaturbia ; going through a very active period with the publication of Pet cementerio  (2014) and  Mixtape Vol. 1 (2014), including songs that I like a lot, like Los pájaros and Pdi hija del Fbi , respectively. Lastly they publish his most recent album El agua de los océanos vino del espacio  (2018) in which they experimented with songs of a calmer and more cheerful key, like El etc de virgilio  and D12 .   In the last years I h...
