The Academy Is…

Well… I love The Academy Is… band (the name include the suspension points :) ).

This band was born on 2003 in Chicago, Illinois. The members was William Beckett (Bill), Michael Carden (Mike), Adam Siska (sisky business), Michael Guy Chislett and Adam Mrotek (The Butcher). I say “was” because since a couple of days the band announced the separation of two of the members: The Butcher and Michael, which is very sad to me, because I used to listen them music and new songs, it was my hobby.

Ok. They have 5 Cd´s: The Academy Is EP (2004), Almost here (2005), From the Carpet (2006), Santi (2007), Fast Times at Barrington High (2008) and Lost in a Pacific Time (2009), but the Cd´s I love are Santi and Fast Times at Barrington High.

They came to Chile the last 2009, and I could not go because my parents did not allow me and I can understand, but if I think this situation now… is really sad because this band now does not exist like I loved it and I won’t see the complete band ever. It will be as if they never existed… I do not think the situation is so terrible now, but in the moment, when I knew this, was horrible. A friend was really bad when she told me, now she get over it … hahaha… we have to continue with our own existence independent of the happens, we have to get the bad things over and overcome to the adversity… wow… it was a deep thought.

Iquique

Hi!... well... 

This year I went to Iquique with my cousins and the experience was nice. We went on February 2010 and we were there for one week.

One day (specifically a Sunday), a cousin ordered us (to all the “children” of the family) we had to wash the dishes… it was strange, but we did it. She, when we finished, told us: “all that you do have reward”. We did not understand in that moment… we understood when she told us: “did you remember when I told you that you had to wash all the dishes?... I have a surprise for you… And in this moment she begun to take out of her wallet a couple of papers meanwhile she was saying: “I have this!... all that you do will have a reward!”. So … in this moment I realized that this paper were 8 airplane´s tickets, and later she said: “ we going to go to Iquique”… we were very exited… I was shocked, and my cousins begun to cry… we were really happy.

This picture has been taken in Iquique. In the picture appears 5 of my cousins and me in front of the park tower`s clock in a beautiful day, the other 2 cousins do not appear in the picture, because they was taking the pictures. That travel was awesome. The landscapes was incredible, history was very interesting and because we were together.

London :)

Well, I was very absent-minded and I think now is too little too late, but for me, it does not matter, I´m going to write.

The laaaaaaaaast Tuesday I realized is not so complicated to travel to London, because all the information is on internet. In this place there is many places you can visit if you want, and like I said, is not complicated find out about ticket´s prices, tube´s station, the opening, and the zone where is located the place you want visit, just you have to have lucky when you are searching for the information and find the correct web page, due to on internet is too much web sites where you can find it and is not correct, like happened me sometimes when I was searching the London zones.

This activity was interesting, because I learned too much about the different places I would visit, now I do not have to spend the money, but I think this is not really possible, because I need this money for the photocopies! Hahaha. Someday I will visit London, I will go to all the places I was finding out and I will be very happy in this places!

...Songs...

…My favorite song in English???

Well, my favorite song in English at the moment is… ok… I have to confess something… at the moment I do not have time to hear music… I like almost all the songs, with exceptions…

One month ago my favorite song was “wanderwall” by Oasis. I do not remember when I heard it the first time, but I remember the last year my friend Alejandra, in her mobile phone has this song.

When I heard it I remembered I´ve heard during too much time, I did not know the band, so now I know.

Other band I love is “The academy is…”, and I love all their songs, I love their rhythm …

Both band are indie, is a kind of music independent, this is the origin of the word.

Two years ago The Academy Is… came to Chile, I could go but I did not go… Alejandra wined a double ticket to go to the concert, this information was in her e-mail, but she did not check it, so we did not know she have this tickets and we did not go… this situation was sad… we were both crying during a month…

This is the past.  And now, when they´ll come back to Chile I´ll try to go to the concert and enjoy!!!

The next song... is a sad song... but I think he want to say something about men´s behavior.

Technology...

I do not know if I like too much the technology. Just I like it. But I love my video camera!

I have a video camera and when I have time and the camera keeps with full battery I record the events around me.

I got it since when I was 16 years old (two years ago) and was great, was a present for my birthday by my parents and I´m really grateful and in this moment I was very  amazed and happy.

I´m from far away, and now living here, in Santiago  and I decided I did not have to bring my video camera , but when I need it I will come back to my house and I´ll bring it back with me.

I use to use the video camera often in my house, when we have parties with all the family, because I like remember these great moments  and show them the recording  when this moment has gone.

I think if I would be without my video camera I will be sad and more sad if somebody would stole it me, because is mine!... I will be really sorry for my parents, because they made an effort to give me this present, I “say” this because the last year somebody stolen my mobile phone and this was not funny.

I think the technology can keep relating us and with this we can keep our memory alive with pictures and recordings.

the career I love :)

Well. I´m studying anthropology because when I had to decide the career I wanted to study I thought anthropology was a good idea. I “say” this because I was not really sure in that moment, due to I wanted to study laws. But this is the past, because I regretted of this possible choice and now I know I love anthropology.

In the third grade you can choose a specific area of the anthropology as physical anthropology, social anthropology and archaeology. I want to continue studying the last one (and is my favourite subject), because is very interesting to me and I will help to reconstruct the prehistory.  I want to try to understand why history happened this way and what is the relation between the artifacts, the people and the environment. Especially in the cases referred to the human behaviors, and the places where you can find these artifacts.  You have to know infer all around of you if you want to understand the history.

I think I will not regret of this career although my choice was really hurried, because I know I´m in the right moment and in the right place.
