My best friend...

Mmm... This topic it´s difficult to explain for me, because in this moment I don´t have a best friend :(

Although I have to admit that I had two important friends that they gave a colour to my life. 

Their names were Stephanie and Ainara. 

The first was a friend of childhood. We were classmates of primary education. I met her when we were in fourth grade. She was very shy, shier that me. We spoke always during the break in the school, and sometimes in the class. We did the homeworks together. She went to my house, and I went to the her. 

Both were very near.

When we were in seventh grade, she and her family went to live to Valencia, Spain. I felt very sad, because she´d be there during a lot of years. 

Despite the distance and the time, we kept contact, writing us cards and speaking by phone. 

She arrived to Chile the last year (2011), but nowadays our lifes are very, very differents. 

Because of reasons of time, family, work and studies, we have little contact. 

My second friend, named Ainara, I met her when I entered at secondary education (2007). We shared the same interest for the music: she played piano and I played the guitar. I entered to "Conjunto Instrumental" of the "Liceo 7 de Niñas de Providencia", and she was there, playing the piano. The song that I remember about her is "La rosa de los vientos" of Mago de Oz. She always played this song when we were in the music room.  

We played many songs in that year: Oye cómo va, Más que nada, You´ve got a friend, Christmas songs, Vivir sin aire, Música ligera, Lejos del amor, etc.

The next year, for personal reasons and problems of time, we decided  to leave the group. 

We continue the friendship, even after we leaft the school. 

During the past year she had a lot of problems in relation with her family, health and studies.

Nowadays, she studies Public Administration, but although we have contact, we speak nothing. 

I just hope that some day we can to speak again...

 

 

My favourite piece of technology...

At present, the technology is around us, everywhere. Today, apart from the televition and the the radio, it´s common having mp3 and mp4, notbook or netbook, pendrive, cellular of last technology, digital camera, video games, plasma TV, etc.

However, despite I know some electronic apparatus, I don´t understand very good how utilize them.

But when I entered to the university, during the second half of the year, I began to (llevar) the notebook of my brother to the class, forgetting the pencil and paper. And, it was rather good: I wrote very quickly!

Since those days, I continued using it until nowadays. 

Then, my father decided to buy a new netbook for me, because my little brother was missing his notebook for to chat with his girlfriend and friends, jaja. And I needed to work with it, everyday! 

So, this is my history about my favourite piece of technology. 

What life would be like without it? Very difficult, because I really need to use the netbook, everyday, for to write my classes, notes, to save information into my pendrive, to check my e-mails, to send documents, etc.

I think that it´s an important instrument of help for the student nowadays, above all for use in the work or in the university. 

My favourite band...? 

I really use to listen several kinds of music, because I don´t have a preference on the subjec.

However, I would like to talk about a chilean singer-songwriter that marked the year I entered at the University of Chile. His songs were a feeding every day. A lot of classmates of my faculty sang songs of him, and I began to assit to some events where he would be there. 

His name is Manuel García, a northern born in Arica in 1970. He studied pedagogy in History and Geography at University of Tarapacá, and then, in 1994, he went to live to Santiago for studying Superior Guitar Interpretation in the Pontificia Universidad Católica. 

Although he´s not my favourite musical artist, I like him because he has beautiful songs (the content of the letters and the musical production), and also because he demostrated a lot of support to Movement Student realized the past year (2011).

He also has shown support to the people of Aysen this year, because the problems that affected them. 

My favourite songs of him are: Azúcar al café, Témpera, Vida mía, Piedra Negra, Tinta de tus lágrimas, Danza de las libélulas y El reproche. These songs have subject matter about love and politic. 

He participated in the Festival del Huaso de Olmué and in the Festival de Viña del Mar. 

Also, he has sung with others chilean musical artists, such as Los Bunkers, Chinoy and Camila Moreno. 

Here a single, Témpera
