Piece of Art

I chose for this post an image pinted by Oswaldo Guayasamin. I don't know the exactly name of this piece of art but I know that it belong to an serie of pictures named "La edad de la ternura" or in English: "The age of tenderness", also known as "Mientras viva siempre te recuerdo" (or While I'm alive I will always remember you) and shows live colors and warm images of mothers and her children or in this case a naked woman with closed eyes. I like because she looks so much quiet and it make me feel serene. 

Oswaldo Guayasamin was born in Quito, Ecuador and he has Guarani ancestry. I really like the work of this painter because I think it's really expressive and specially this serie because the pictures are so calm compared to the rest of the work of Guayasamin, that it's usually sad and a little bit terrify.

I feel that he shows in his art important parts of our continent, we have the pain, the hunger, the violence and the poverty. But we also can see the tenderness, the warmth, the closeness between our people… 

There we have more pictures of this collection: 

  

Another Photograph I like

In this picture you can see my sister Arielle and I, I don't remember when it was took and neither who did it because as you can see it's a very old photograph... But probably mi grandmother did it because she enjoy taken long walks with us and taking pictures all around.

Anyway I know the picture shows me and her having fun at the Rivereño (or waterfront) in Vallenar.
It's a very beautiful place full of grass and trees and games for kids, as the swings where we are sit.
I remember that in my childhood it was the best place to play and to spend time after school with friends or family.

I didn't remember this picture till my sister found it in my grandmother's house and then share it by facebook, and was very emotional see it and remember that long afternoons in the Rivereño with my sister and realize that we both fit in a lonely and little swing.
So obviously I like this picture and I think our faces are funny such as our clothes...

And that's why i like this photograph :)

Does God exist?

I do all my elementary and high school in a catholic one. There everybody taught me to believe in god and in the church, so I did it: I prayed every night, I was going to church, i was speaking to god...
I was growing in this stage and in some moment - I don't remember when exactly- all this religious discourse seemed a little bit false and contradictory, and every day more and more. People and church preaches a lot of things and are just words, they sell an image, but they doesn't do actions to improve anything. In some moment I just left all rules and beliefs from church and bible but I still believed in God...





 But a beautiful day I realized that I wasn't leave the idea of god because I didn't want to do it, I was lying to my self!! It's difficult to forget something you believed all your life BUT IT WAS NECESSARY
Now I think that all religions are just ways of social control, and the idea of god hasn't any sense to me... I see that people obviously feels less alone inventing a god that can save them, but that doesn't make it real.

There is a song that I really like and that was significative to me when I was trying to hanging on the idea of god but it was impossible!!! just hasn't sense to me: Loosing My Religion - REM

It's a good song :) Enjoy it!

heyy

Hello! today I'll write the for the last time, so I'm excited
When yo are a child you don't really know how you waste your time. You have time to do everything!!! Not the same today... not in the university. I begin to think about this because today I'm (almost) free, I finished this semester and I'm very happy for that, but all this semester I ws full of things to do and that's why I'm missing childhood.
For example, when I was a child I spent my time seeing a wonderful seria called Hey Arnold

Hey Arnold was about a boy who lived with his grandparents in a inner-city boarding house, and about the diferet suburban problem he and his friends have to solve...

The themes are not just superficial topics, and maybe that's why I enjoyed it. I don't really remember how often I watched it, but I think I often watched it  hahaha Because I liked the way of being of the principal character, Arnold, he was intelligent, kind, reflexive, and a really good person, who has clear morals and he was loyal to them.





Well I guess I learnt good things seeing Hey! Arnold but anyway I belive that children has to learn playing and not watching TV. That's all ;) !!!

(Now I'm free, teacher?)
Goodbye <3 wish you happiness!

My third semester

Hello everybody!!!!!!!!
I'm here again... I'm cold, tired, sick, hungry BUT I'M HERE AGAIN
This time I'm going to write about my third semester at the university!
Well it's almost finished, but I have to do exams :( and I wish to have vacations soon because this semester had been dificult and a little bit weird, so I'm really tired of this.
In first place, at begining of the year was dificult to me put atention in class and to study. I gelt like loosing sense and meaning about the career so I wasn't so motivated. :(
But that situation changed :D I think it is relationated with my participation in extra programatic activities that makes me happy :D And I'm hope that my career can give me tools to do helpful actions for the people :) and now that's my motivation!!
I'm happy too because I've known a lot of new and great persons, and the way of being of this people makes smile every day :3
In my university we had a long strike because we have many problems even when the university calls itself the best of the country... I feel that the "fight" was useless :(  We doesn't gain anything finally! Even if some sectors of students enjoy saying that the movilization was fruitful... they are wrong!!
anyway i'm happy because I know that a lot of the students doesn't agree with that idea, and we will work to change it and get it better. Even if we lost this time, we've learnt a lot and we'll use that hictoric learning to act more intelligently next time                                    



Well I wasn't really good on my subjects this semester, but it wasn't so bad either... I have to do exams... but I'm happy anyway :) I know it's difficult to organize yourself but it's time to learn it!
So I'll participe in more extracurricuar activities the next semester and if I don't really good organizing my time, so I'll learn it to the force :O
I'm excited!!!!
Good bye!!

A food I hate

Hello! I've been really bussy and that's why I'm kind of late with my blog, but now I'll fix it!
In firts place, I have to tell you about a food that I hate. Well IU really enjoy eating, anyway there are a pair of things that I just can't eat!
On the top of my hated foods is the meat... I have stood more than two years without eating meat, and I just can't see it anymore like a food. I don't eat it principally because the way of production is really savage, so I prefer being consequent with myself and my values.

iugg

In second place, I can´t handdle with cow's milk, I think it's disgusting! When I was a child I drunk it all days, but then at 17 I realized it's disgusting and 
I stopped. My mother wasn't happy because she think that milk is necessary for me, but I think that cow's milk is for cow's babies, that's all!
Good bye! :)

My Presentation

Hi! Today I had to speak in front all the class about something of my career and I choose Forensic Anthropology that is an subdiscipline of Physic Anthropology.

I think it was fine and even if my presentation was short I think I said enought :)
Well, this area is very very interesting and funny! There are many techniques to recognize and identify human remains to make justice in many crimes against humanity...
In my career I can choose in the thrid year in what area of anthropology I want to develop my profession, there are Social anthropology, archeology and physical anthropology... This is my second year studying and I can't decide yet, but Physical is an option that I really like :)
I enjoyed this presentation because made me think seriously about what I wish to my future.
That's all :) Goodbye!
