Master of Puppets, some more that the guitars and drum kit

Hello again my reader. This time is special because I talk about one of my favourite songs in English (of course, I have a lot of "favourite songs" in this language), this song is very known for who know styles like "Metal", "Hard Rock" and similars; the song's name is "Master of Puppets" (1986) by Metallica, a thrash metal band, and I like it because this song transmits energy, strong and creativity (imagination). I use it to writting my action stories and to creating new episodes or drawing some part of my story.

The first time I heard this song is wasn't to long, in fact the first time was two years ago when in my house for summer holidays, my sister's friend heard it on Youtube. Then, I liked this song, I liked the sound of guitar, the combination with the drum kit and every sung part , especially the chorus. The song had that I imagine more interesting parts for my stories, thus I saved it in my pendrive.

The musical style of this song is "Thrash Metal", I know that some people don't like this style for different causes like that this is noisy, unpleasant, strident and that simply this style isn't music, but I respect their opinions though I think that they haven't tried to understand or listening with attention some song this style like Master of Puppets. Although some people think this way, I like this style and this song because this one helps me to believe in that all is possible (some similar to "The Impossible Dream") and that there isn't insuperable obstacle: ever there is any solution to everything, simply there is to think. I think that this is real, do you think the same? Do you feel some similar with your favourite song?

Here, I put the link to listen the song, I hope you enjoy it.

Pendrive, an extension of my mind

Hello again my reader, in this oportunity I talk about my favourite piece of technology: the pendrive. This object is very important from me because I save variate information and files (documents, music, video, games and other types) that I use daily.

I got my first pendrive five years ago but it broke three years ago, then I received a birth gift last year: a silver pendrive that saved my life. I've used my new pendrive for one year aproximately since I received it, but it has save me from more difficult situations like presentations, homeworks, monographs and essays. In hollydays, I used my pendrive to listen music only, but now that I'm studying, I use it everyday for save valuable information from my career and my life.


I like my pendrive so much because it's easily transported, easily to charge and it's in variate designs and capacities. I've cared it like a sacred thing because if I miss my pendrive, I'd miss very important and unrecoverable information. I could say that my pendrive is an extension of my mind.

I think that if it wouldn't be, we couldn't carry our information to anywhere without to have a computer for this purpose. Pendrive allows to perform with this purpose and move away us of boredom through the music or videos that we have saved in this artifact. We can walk or we can wait in a stop bus or we can learn and study while we listen music. Also, we can carry complete books and valuable (home)works. For all this, pendrive is an essential artefact in our modern society (and culture) Do you think the same?

My career

Hello again curious reader

Today I talk about my career: Anthropology. This career has three mentions: Social Anthropology, Physical Anthropology and Archaeology. I entered to my career through Bachillerato because I didn't know to study and after researching different syllabus, I chose Anthropology, in special, the Physical Anthropology mention because it's the combination of Humanities and Biological sciences and it's more "concrete" than Social Anthropology. I think that Phisical Anthropology mention is more entertaining too.

Anthropologist contribute to society in different areas: from the social projects -like working in communities, researching the past cultures of the country, doing measuring patterns of the chilean population- to academic researchs that allow to check wrong concepts or wrong ideas. Then, an Anthropologist/Archaeologist needs, I think, statistics programs for to relate many variables from the researchs, a group of different specialists (variate viewpoints) and similar thing, I suppose.

In Anthropology, my favourite subject is "Physical Antropology Elements" because this subject is very interesting for me since  I should choose the mention this year, besides, the coordinator, teacher Rodrigo Retamal, is nice though he send weekly papers in English. Soon I want to be assistant professor in some subject of my interest like Statistic or Evolution.

Toltén, Araucanía’s Region

Hello my reader, in this opportunity I talk about of a beauty place called Toltén.
Toltén is a small town nearby the Pacific Ocean coast and nearby to Puerto Saavedra and Pitrufquén too. The town is very near to Toltén River, which is very beautiful and there is a bridge over the river. This bridge connects Toltén with the rest of the places.
The first time that I went was I had 15 years old, in 2005. I went with my father in the September holidays (Independence day) We walked across the town, my father told me about the history of this place because he was born nearly to Toltén and he grew up there. I clarify that my father is from Colimán, place situated very near to Toltén (1, 5 hour by bus or car) Apart from walking, we visited the typical fair and we bought some things. Though the town was very busy, normally is a quiet, peaceful and nice place, as well as the people is nice but a little shy. Since then, I’ve gone every year in summer holidays to visit the town and its marvelous river.  I like this town because is peaceful, the time would seem that don’t advance and life is relaxed, don’t exist hurry in contrast to busy life in Santiago. It’s one of my favorite travels. Here, I put a picture of Toltén's principal street
