Hi friends!. Today I´m going to talk about my summer vacations. This year, like all years past, I will be at Valdivia all the summer. The summer at Valdivia is great because Valdivia is a touristic city

Hi friends!

Today I´m going to talk about a game that I played when I was a child. It´s looks like we always have to write about our childhood, but mine was great so I don´t care about it :D. When I was a child I liked to play all kinds of games like “capture the flag” (there are two teams with his own base and you have to took the others team flag), to play “commandos” (similar to “capture the flag” but you have to catch an enemy) or play at small boats like Popeye or Simbad. Also I liked to play at arcades machines (my favorite game was The King of Fighters 98), but my favorite game was called “invasion”. This game was a mix between capture the flag, commandos and the boats. There are two teams on play and you are in a large team of ten members, more or less, and there is one base. The objective of the play was to infiltrate the enemy base and took an object (usually a toy). The first team has to attack and then defend the toy. It was amazing because all the members of the team had a role on the game. I was the guy who always get at prison (a part of the base where you put the captured enemies) because my mission was to explore the area and detect the enemies. I had to draw maps and even use camouflage. I felt like a ninja. When we were in defense position, my role was to explore the periphery of the base and attack the enemy team. We used to play with bows and arrows, swords and armor. All the stuffs were made of wood. I don´t remember the last game of invasion that I’ve played, but it was when I was at Los Lagos, so my age was 12 years old, approximately. I enjoyed this game because were a play of intelligence, dexterity, speed and imagination, and we all used to past a great time with it. It is a great memory of my childhood.

See you next week, bye bye! 

The tunnel of Los Lagos was an excelent place to game invasion. The base was ubicated above the tunnel.

Hi fellows! I hope you´re all fine and enjoy my next post.

Today I´m going to talk about a job i would like to do. This is a difficult task to me, because any times I think about the future I can´t answer any question very well. Anyway, if you want to ask me about that, I will answer you. I´ve always thought that the job of a forest ranger is a very good job to do. I like this job because is AWESOME! You have to live in the forest to job as a forest ranger. You don´t have to travel in the metro or bus. You don´t have to tolerate the annoying people. You don´t have to live in a big city! You have to go round the forest doing your job, listen to the bird´s songs, chopping your own wood and there is no bank, no drugstore, no mall, NO COPS!!!, no supermarket, no cars, no trucks, no noise, no contamination. There is only you and the wild! You can read all the books you want, you can explore every corner of the forest and you can swim in any river!!! I think that is amazing. To do this job you need to be a very strong and healthy person, you have to be responsible (as any job) and being restless is not an impediment, is a requirement. I always like to live in a forest far from all the city stuff and the boring and individual people. Actually, I don´t have a ranger forest that inspire me, but when I was a child, the first book that I’ve read was Robin Hood, and Robin Hood lives at forest! I love the natural life and the peacefulness of the forest. I love the trees and the clean air. With the knowledge that I will learn as a student, and all the tools that I will have as a geographer, I would like to job as a ranger forest. That is a dream of my childhood, and I still wanted it.

 I hope you will have a very good weekend, enjoy it! Goodbye friends!

In J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, the Rangers of the North, also known as the Dúnedain of the North, were the descendants of the Dúnedain from the lost kingdom of Arnor. Their menfolk ceaselessly patrolled the boundaries of Eriador and were by necessity skilled with the sword, bow and spear.In the picture; Aragorn, a ranger of the north in The Lord Of The Ring saga.
 

Hi there fellows!

Today I´m going to talk about a walk. I love to walk, is one of my favorite things in the world, because I think that walking is a relaxing and therapeutic exercise. To me, is way to open your mind to reflection, tranquility and peace. Anyway, I have walked many kilometers in my life. The last walk I would like to repeat is the walk that I took at Quemchi, in Isla Grande de Chiloé. Quemchi is a little town in the east side of the island, and it has a port on it. When you walk through the beach you can go to a mystic place knows as Aucar. Aucar means “isla de las almas caminantes” (in Mapudungun I think) and is a little island with a very old church and a cementery. It´s a very nice place because at winter, is full of flamencos. When is raining or the tide came up you can´t pass through the wood bridge because the water level block the pass. The place is great; there are many kinds of trees that you can see, like copihues, hualles or pellines. Also, the view is magnificent, because the island is on a great beach, but isn´t like the beach here at Chile Central, is a beach that combines the history of the place, the mysticism, the traditions, the forest and the animal life. It´s a great experience and you have to take that walk because is enjoyable and unforgettable. Don´t forget to go to the port to take a beer and eat some traditional food, like pulmai or tortilla de papas. Visit it!

 

At botom you can look at my personals photos at Aucar :D

Goodbye!

Hi friends! How are you? I hope you´re fine. Today I’m going to talk about the things I like to do. First of all, I like to read. My favorite books are the epics-fantasy novels, like The Lords of the Rings or Robin Hood (this was the first book that I read). Anyway, I have read many books of many kinds, but the Tolkien´s books are the best! Also I like the books of George R. R. Martin, like A Song of Ice and Fire saga or Song the Dead Men Sing, a terror novel and to read mangas, like Attack on Titan, Hajime no Ippo, Rurouni Kenshin and Hunter X.

Also, I like to play videogames. My favorite videogames are the Role Playing Games, or RPG. These kinds of game are unique, because you have to “act” the life of a character, usually a hero of an ancient land, or a magician of an unknown planet. My favorites RPG games are Chrono Trigger and Tales of Phantasia, both for the SNES console, Golden Sun saga of GBA system and The Elder Scrolls Saga, for PC. Also I like the sports games, specially the football soccer games (like FIFA 13 or Pro Evolution Soccer 2013) and the FPS “first person shooter” games (like Unreal Tournament 2003, Call of Duty saga, Counter Strike 1.6 and Halo saga).

Finally, I like to do sports. I am fan of the bicycle and I play football all the weeks. I like to play as a Forward, but actually in my team I play as a Goalkeeper.

Goodbye friends! Have a nice weekend.

Tales of Phantasia, the best RPG for SNES, and one of the best of the History.

Hello friends! Today I´m going to talk about my personal experience at 27/F earthquake. That day I was at Valdivia. It was a warm summer night and I was with my girlfriend of that time at her house.  We were watching movies when the quake began. The first time I tough was that the movement was produced by the motion of the coach, but when the heavy part of the quake started we really realize that the movement weren´t a game. We had to leave the house and went to the street. All the people at the neighborhood were at street. Then I had to go to my house and all the people of my family were crazy!!! My grandma was crazy because she lived the big earthquake at 1960. That was the biggest earthquake of the history and she remembers every moment of that day. All the old people of my neighborhood were screaming: “run to the hills” because they tough that the sea were moving to the city. I tried to calm down my grandma and a neighbor switched on the radio of the car (the electric energy was useless) and we listen that the epicenter of the quake was at Concepción. The seismic movement didn´t affect to my family or my friends because Valdivia is far from Concepción, but I have a uncle that lives in Conce and our preoccupation was for him, but finally he could communicate with us. The day after the earthquake I went across the city observing the damage of the structures, streets and buildings. I took a lot of pictures that day to catch that moment for ever. Valdivia hadn´t very much damage but the center of the city loses a couple of buildings and trees at the central square. That was my experience at 27/F.  

Mechita´s life.

Hi, fellows! Today I’m going to talk about a pet. I love animals, but I don´t like the “pet” word because this word is linked to another words like “master” or “owner”  and I don’t think that the animals are objects or holdings. However, in the recent story of my life I shared it with a singular life form knows as “cat” and it name is “Mechita”. This cat came to my life at summer classes before the general student strike at 2011. That year we had to take classes at summer holydays because the riot. It was a very hot summer and we felt like losers because our objectives weren´t accomplished. I was at “pircas” at January and a girl was giving a little dirty, crier and white female cat. I saw it and I was concern about the future of that poor and lonely creature, so I took it to my home and I teach it how to survive in the big city. Mechita is a very restless cat, like a tiger-monkey. It special act consist in a back flip above the furniture of my house, even the roof was use like stage. Actually, Mechita lives with my mom and sister at Valdivia, because the life at south is better and healthier that the life here at capital city. Every time I visit my home, Mechita jumps of happiness and it is a very special feeling, because it symbolizes the link between a human and a cat. That link is beyond the relation owner-holding, is a friendship link between equals.

Galford is a character of Samurai Showdown, a fight videogame. He and Poppy the dog are inseparable companions. It´s a relationship between equals.
