The technology and I

Well, this is a really hard topic to write about, because I don´t get along with technology (yes I know, I´m studying graphic design) and I don´t like that much.  Since I got in this career I‘ve had like 5 computers, the one I have now, let’s say it´s a miracle that actually works (I think it’s because I wanted it so badly that I take a really good care of it, and don´t let anybody touch it); I use it for everything: listening to music, do homework and since I don’t have a TV I watch my series on it. The other artifact that I use a lot is my iPod, I can’t travel anywhere without it, even though I don´t change the music since forever (iTunes it’s just too complicated) and I have to add that I got a new iPod, with a really lot of GBs, but I don´t know how to use it (I feel like a monkey).

So, I think my third artifact and the one I´m addicted to is my blackberry, the one thing I use every day and all the time, even if I’m camping. I got it as a Christmas present last year, I have to say, I don’t know how it works completely it but with the things I know it makes me really happy and totally connected with the world and the technology (I´m such a modern person hahahaha), specially having whatsApp, makes me feel in contact with my friends even if they are in another country. I think that I just can´t live without it, I’m just addicted to it; I probably wouldn’t talk that much with my close friends.

A day in a life

I haven´t been to a lot of concerts, but I´ve to say the few concert that I went where really good, especially the Paul McCartney up and coming tour, after that show I said: now I can die in peace because I saw Paul. It was on May of last year in the Estadio Nacional (it was full but really full of people).  I went with a friend that likes him as much as I do, so we enjoyed it a lot; we jumped, danced, sang and screamed every Beatle song (we were on Andes with a lot of families that didn´t stand up at any time, so I think they hated us a little bit).

I like the concert so much, for a lot of reasons: I just love The Beatles (my favorite band), Paul it’s my favorite Beatle, the show ´had a great audio, cool footage (for a moment you could travel the past, and actually believe your were in the 60´s), good Beatle playlist (specially because he sang here in Chile I´ve just seen a face, my favorite song). The best part was the fireworks (just amazing), they went with the son Live and let die rhythm. So I definitely can say that I actually had a dream came true.

A little bit of me

I was born on January 16^th, 24 years ago, in Iquique (the most beautiful city I know). I have 2 siblings, a younger sister (Daria) and brother (Milan); yes, I’m the oldest one which means it’s not an easy role. I lived in Iquique for 12 years, having a really great childhood, with good memories and happy moments; I always studied in the same school: Colegio Hispano Británico, with my best friend (I know her since the day I was born, she is older for 2 days), until I moved to another country for 2 years with all my family, having a really great experience because I learned another language, culture, people and the most important thing the value of family.

I came back to Chile in 2002, but this time we settled down in Santiago. I went to a school in Las Condes where I finished high school, by the way I just hated that place :/ so I think I´m one of the few people that  doesn’t miss high school. A year before I graduated my family moved back to Iquique, I stayed behind living with my grandmother, after that year I moved back with my family; meanwhile I studied for the PSU. Next year I got into Diseño at Universidad de Chile, where I still study but I’m coursing my last 4 classes.

About my life I have a hobby since I was 8, actually it’s more like a lifestyle, I’m a scout girl (really proud of being an active one today). I have kids (boys and girls) of 16 to 18 years old at my charge; it’s a new challenge for me because I’m used to treat with younger girls. Anyways I just love to camp, share with different people of different ages, do games, learn new things, etc.

And now that I have a little more free time I work in a bar, at the beginning I was a waitress but I got bored so I learned how  to be a bartender, which I really like and have fun (it´s the surprise of not knowing which drink I’ll have to make). Sometimes it makes you tired but I made really good friends, we actually hang out a lot.
