Blog 7: Free topic

Hello, in this post I´ll write about some animes that I watched.

To start, the first anime that I watched in knowing of what is an anime. And I say this, because when I was a child I was not aware about that the anime are series and have episodes with a secuence and all these things. So, going back to the main topic, this anime was Lucky Star. This anime is about a girl, who like anime, videogames and manga, so she spend all her time in them, also she is very lazy, but is good at school. The funny things in the anime are multiples references to other animes, videogames, manga and this japanese culture. But when I saw it, I don´t understood all the references involved in this anime, from the situations to the chracters, but I think I would like to watch it again to see how many references I can catch now. 

Other anime that I love is Chobits. This anime is about a young that is going to the city to study for a university test (something like the PSU xd), and in the city, all the people have robots that have the function of a companion, so he wants to have one, but they are very expensive. Luckly, he finds one robot naked in the trash and he decided to take it. However, this robot not work like the others, because it only says "chii" and is unable to undertand the things like the other robots, but lately, stranger things happend and a secret will be known about this robot. I personally love the OST of this anime and the situations that present. If you like romantic series and robots you´ll love this anime. Also I would like to read the manga, but I´m very bad at reading.

Finally, an anime that I saw at the beginning of the year, Samurai Champloo. This anime is about a girl that is searching for "the samurai who smells of sunflowers", this girl meet two samurais and saved them from an execution, so they make a promise to help her to find this man, but they have problems with bandits, helping people or conflicts from themselves. I love this anime because of how it combines more contemporary things, like graffiti or baseball, with the world of Japanese Edo era. 

Blog 6: Postgraduate studies

Hello!  Today, I'll write about the future postgraduate studies that I have in mind.

 First, I think death is a very diffucult thing of life to overcome for people, so if I can help to make it easier to close and understand the grieft, It would be satisfactory for me in a personally and professionally. So, I think that in the future I would like to study something related with the investigation forensic, for example, laboratory work with genetic or bone trauma, new tecnology of investigation or scientific development.

 I don't really know or search before about postgraduate studies, but the last week a teacher tell me about the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (In spanish, Equipo Argentino de Antropología Forense) and their work; thus, I search about it and I find that is very close of what I want to do in the future. Futhermore, they have courses and the requirement for them are accessible after I graduate, but the only problem will be that I'll have to travel to Argentina and probably the first time I'll have to live without my family nearby, so It would be difficult at first. Obviously, If I have the opportunity to study something like this in Chile, I'll take it.

Other thing that I have been thinking is about to keep learning other language and take some studies in other country, for example Canada or some country of Europe. And if it's a country of Europe, I could travel to other countries nearby.

Blog 5 : My future Job

Hello! This time I´ll write about my future job or what I think It would be.

 When I started to study anthropology, I wasn´t sure what are the possibilties of work in the future, but now I sure that I´ll choose the mention of physical-anthropology, because I like forensic issues. Also recently I started to have an interest in technology and its impact in the human life.

So if I choose to work in forensic anthropology, I´ll work in a laboratory with bones, corpses or even mummies, however I think that if I´ll work in a project of prospection, I´ll have to be outdoor. Anyway, I don´t mind if I have to work indoor or outdoor, but I imagine that I´ll have to travel several times because of the work on the field itself and I like it, because when I travel, I start to organize my mind and different ideas. Although, I don´t  really know how is the salary of these types of jobs. Also I don´t have any idea of what major or studies I have to take, I never thought it before.

In the other hand, the theme of technology and its impact in the human life. I think it like the impact in different aspects, for example, the health, rehabilitation or sports performance. In this case, I imagine I´ll work for investigation of biotechnology and multiple group of people, so the core of my job will be outdoor, searching and doing research, and because of this, I´ll have to travel a lot. 

Blog 4: Free Topic

Hello!

 After reading the blog of the teacher, I remember my favorite OST is from my favorite videogame, so I´ll write about it.

My favorite videogame is "Eternal Sonata", also knowed as "Trusty Bell" in Japan. It´s a role-playing game (RPG) for the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. The game takes place in a dream world of Frederick Chopin before he died. The plot of the game simple, even pointless, because since the first time you know that all is a dream, but the game is very beautiful, both visually and musically, and the circumstances are funny and interesting, that the game keep pushing you to want to advance. Other thing is the gameplay, it is very simple and fast, the battles are in a area where the characters and the enemies have a countdown to take different actions, so is not obstacle to continue the game.

  I played it when I was 9 and I love this game because of the desing of the places and characters, that is in a very anime style, but fit very nice with the colorful of the places. Also, the music is so beautiful and fit so good with the moment, so much so sometimes I stayed in the same place only to hear the music. If I could play the game again, I would definitely, but I´m happy with the soundtrack and I recommend it (there is a list in youtube, if you want to hear it). And one more thing, my favorite song of the soundtrack is "Silence and life".

This place is called "Elegy of the Moon"

Blog 3: Free topic!

 Hello! Today I´ll to write about my favorite character in the Online Game, League of Legends, also known as LoL, but first a little introduction. I started to play LoL 10 years ago, when I was 10 and I play with my brother or my cousins, also I met friends in this years. The game it´s about matchs between 2 teams of 5 players using different characters from the game´s lore. Futhermore, the game has different outfits or "skins" to vary the appearance of the characters, some are a little silly xD.

Bard´s concept art.

My favorite character in the game is Bard (in spanish, his name is Bardo). Bard is the physical appearance of a mythical creature that protecs the world of the game, Runaterra, from chaotic events, but he only go directly to do his work and disappears without a clue. I like the character, beacause of his aura of mystery and the desing, that is inspired from the desing of some creatures and characters of the Studio Ghibli movies. Also, the game style of the character is funny to me, because he can go faster, heal allies and use little spirits, named Meeps, to attack. Finally, one thing I think is unique of Bard is the fact that he doesn't talk, but it make sounds of chimes, so you can feel the cosmic aspect of the character.

Blog 2: The best holiday

  Hello everyone, here I´ll write about my best holiday.
My best holiday was 2 years ago. I traveled to San Pedro de Atacama with 2 friends, Paula and Francisca (Pancha). My friend Pancha lived all her childhood in San Pedro with her mother, who work as teacher and still there, so when we went to San Pedro, we stayed in her house. I and Paula were there for 10 days and Pancha stayed other days with her family.

During these days Pancha and her family made us a tour in different places near San Pedro. We were in a salt flat (I don´t remember the name), where I swam in a salt lake;  The Valle de la Luna, where were a wonderful views; The Pukara de Quitor , thats an old fortress that have tactical advantage because of its view, now is a archeological site; Valle de Marte, where I tried
sandboarding; Cueva del diablo, that was the first time I was in a cave and I have to say that the dark inside is strange and uncomfortable; and the town itself, where we walked for different streets and places.

The Valle de la Luna.

That was my best holiday, because I learned so much things and another perspective to see the things that I could never have learned in Santiago or the places I usually go to holiday. And what I always will remember is the sky full of stars, the shooting stars and how the intesity of the moon could affect the light in a really clear sky.

Blog 1: A country I would like to visit

 Hello everyone!
 Personally, I would like to travel into differents countries to see what are the most beautiful or interesting things that they have, but in this post I´ll tell about the countries that if I have the possibilty to travel I would rather to live and feel as a citizen than only visit and know for a little time.

First, I would like to go to Switzerland, because I love the views with the mountain and the sky, also I like the historic buildings. I would walk for hours or travel across the country and never get bored. Other thing is that in Switzerland are 4 official languages (French,German, Romansh and Italian) and these languages are spoken in diferent regions of the country, so it´ll be a interesting challenge if I would travel and live there in a future.

Zurich.

The second country is Canada, precisely Vancouver or Victoria Island, both in the province of British Columbia. I would like to study here more than live, because Vancouver is one of the more expensive cities in Canada, but there are very nice scholarship. Anyways, I would like to do climbing or mountaineering in summer and winter sports. Also there are different cultures and communities so it would be a good opportunity to learn from the people.

University of British Columbia (UBC).

Finally, in a different point of view I would like to live in Japan, because I think that is interesting how the technology can affect the life in multiples ways and I would like to experience that, from the medical to commercial or entertainment uses. For example, the multiple robotic intelligence used in healthcare, transport or security. Otherwise, I would like to experience the traditional face of Japan, like festivals and know the history behind them. For example, the Bon festival when the people dance and celebrates around a platform with musician and all is adorned with so much lights to honor the spirits of ancestors.
