POST7: ANIMALS AND PETS

I'm not really a animal lover, I don't feel the same thing for an animal that I feel for a human being, I can't think that an animal has the same value of a human being, I'm a anthropocentrist. 

However, I don't like the people who use the animals like a thing, hunting or buy them. We need to keep in mind that they are living beings! So in spite of I'm not a animal lover I respect them and treat with respect and care. Actually, in my life I've had many pets like turtles, rabbits, dogs, fish and even a goat. Now, I have a dog that name is Cloro, because he is white jajaj I know that is a silly name but wuth my family thought that it was funny. Cloro doesn't live with me because there's no space in my apartment, so he lives in the house of my grandparents and I go to visit every weekend. 

In spite of I don't so close to the animals, I like two kind of animals in special. The first one are the axolotl, they are a mexican amphibian and it's very rare, so beautiful. I knew this kind of animal reading a short story of Julio Cortazar, in that story he talks about the axolotls. The other kind of animal that I like are the tigers. I think they are majestic, because the colour of his hair, the deep of his eyes and the way of they moves. I would like to be a tiger!

POST6: HOW GREEN ARE YOU?

Talking sincerely I'm not a tree-hugger or a Eco-hero, actually I'm not even a green-in-between. I've never recycle, not once in my entire life! that makes me feel ashamed but it is the true. Also, I hardly ever ride a bike because I learned to ride just three years ago, and since then I have ride a few times because I'm not so good at it. In addition, I always use bus or car which are some of the most polluting means of transport.

I would like to be more kind with the environment but I'm very lazy with this kind of things, it's something of my behaviour that I have to change. But also of my lazy mood I think in Santiago haven't enough places to recycle or to use other means of transport beside the motorized ones. The most of these places are in the rich places of the city, in the east zone. So, the people who lives in others communes or zones of Santiago, like me, aren't able to recycle or use the bicycle, it's very difficult to us! 

One thing that the political publics have to improve is about the care of the environment, especially in the poor zones of Santiago because these places have the highest level of pollution. Also, the people, included me, have to learn some things about the care of the environment like use the car less, not throw out the rubbish to the street, recycle, not fire the leaves in autumn and not light firewoods. 

To care the environment I compromise to recycle and support some ecologist organization,what will you do?

POST5: MY FUTURE JOB

I'm studying sociology and I'm just in the first year but I already wonder about how would be my ideal job in the future, maybe it's a little hurried but I'm very hopeful about it.

I would like to have a job in which I could mix theory and practice, I'm thinking of working in a foundation or a NGO or maybe in the public service but no as a burocratic worker, I would hate that! I mean a public service like a Ministry or an institute. I wish work in places like these because they mix the work outdoor and indoor, that is because I would have to do researches with the relations between people in a specific field and then write a report about it.

Also, I think I would like to work in a university, there I would have to make researches too, but also I would have to do classes and I'm not sure if I will have the knowledge to do that, however I wish I could do a PhD or a major in the future so I can improve my knowledge. As you can see, I have not decided where I want to work yet, it´s a very difficult decition!

Another stuff that I will consider to choose my job in the future are things like salary, work enviroment and schedule. About the salary I don't want to earn too much because I think I would spend it in thigns that I won't need, so I wish earn enough money to live comfortable but not with luxury. I wish the work enviroment won't be competitive and I will be able to do teamwork with my workmates. Finally, I hope I won't work so many hours because I don't want to spend my entire life working, so I would never do extra hours!

POST4: MUSIC

Music is something more than just sounds, is something that you can feel with all your senses. You can see music, taste music, touch music, is something that envolves all of you.

I listen to differents kinds of music, actually my likes of music are wide range. I like indie music, some kinds of rock, folk, trova, chilean music and some songs of cumbia and reggaeton. So I don't like when people ask me what kind of music I listen because I can't say an especific type. However, my favourite group is The Smiths, they were an english group of alternative rock, but they are separated since 1987, it is ten years before I was born! Since then Morrisey who is the singer of the band began a single career and I like him very much. I like The Smiths because the letter of their songs, because how they sound and especially because the voice of Morrisey, you have to listen to!

Sadly, I've never been to a concert of Morrisey, actually I don't go to so many concerts, the music I listen is downloaned from internet. I've been to a three concerts in my life, the first one was a concert of the spain group Ska-p, it was in 2008 and I went with my dad. The second one was the concert of 100 years of the Communist Party in 2012, there I listen to groups like Sol y lluvia, Manuel García and Silvio Rodriguez. The last one was this year in may, and it was of Silvio Rodriguez, as you see I'm a big fan of him.

My favourite song is one of The Smiths, it is "Ask", it makes me feel so many feelings, but I think it's personal so I won't write it in here. I wish somedat I could listen Ask in live or learn to play it in guitar, sadly I don't know how to play guitar, actually I don't know how to play any instrument.

 I think music is a important part of the culture, it represents the richness of all of cultures, so we have to repect every kind of music, even the one we don't like.
