Studying after studying:

I find interesting the idea of this post, basically because -in my opinion- in the actual 
times it’s almost essential doing a post-graduate study. So regardless the reasons that you might have for doing one of this studies, it’s always going to be mediated for the necessity of surviving in the working market.

But anyway, if I talk in personal terms I think that the study that I choose it has to be related with the career I’m studying right now (Sociology), or maybe this it's kind of obvious jaja. The principal reason for studying something after graduate it's -besides the thing that I said at the beginning- the hunger of knowledge, you do one of this courses for learning more about your area and specialize in a subject of your interest. In my case I like a lot of topics, but can I mention 4 for a possible diplomat, master o PhD in the future (I hope); economics, statistics, psychology and philosophy, however like I said in a post before, I would like to know more about statistics, because I think that in a sort of way it's fun and really useful for giving the "hard and scientific pillar" (this is arguable) to the sociology discipline.


I don't have an specific place on mind for a thing like this, but I think that my first post-graduate study I would like to do it in Chile, and if I do a second one (again, I hope) I will be really pleased to do it in another country. Some people says that Spain it's a really good place for specialize in social sciences, or maybe USA. Well actually I don't know too much about this aja, it's something really distant at the moment, and I have to pass my career first c:. Anyway if I had the chance for studying in another country, like in a face-to-face way (for my this is the best and effective way), at any time of my life I will not hesitate, It would be a lovely experience.


So, we will see what happens in the future, for now my objectives are study and enjoy the career :).

Movies in my life:

Watching movies is a really good way for spending time (if you have time). However hardly ever I see movies, but when I see them I use Netflix :), it's really rare the occasion when I go to the cinema or rent a DVD (I don´t know if people still doing that). Usually I like to see documental videos, but if we talk about movies I prefer comedy, action or terror movies. Here in the university time is really valious, so actually this year I haven't seen too much movies, in fact the last movie that I saw one was for the Anthropology subject and it's called "Rashomon" (1950). I think that is an interesting movie that gives us to think, if you like alternative movies I hardly recommend it.


I don't know if it is my all-time favorite movie, but I really like "Fight Club". In general terms the movie is about a young adult man who is having insomnia and his medic refuses to give him medicine, so he recommends going to self-help groups for knowing the real suffer of people. He tries a series of self-help groups, but not accomplishes his objective. The first event is when he loses his house and met Tyler Durden, who changes his life and together create the "Fight Club" with the objective that people express their suffering in other way. The mains actors are Edward Norton and Brad Pitt. I like this movie because of the plot, the good acting of the actors and the unexpected twist in the movie; actually I think that I’ve seen it like 3 o 4 times, so if you like quality and movies for getting a real good time I strongly recommend this one.

And I think that movies never gets old or boring are the childhood classics, such as "Finding Nemo", "Toy Story" or "The Lion King". They're movies that mark us when we were kids, and also if you see them when you grow up, they don't lose their significance.

The fun of books:

When I was a little boy I remember that I always liked reading tales and things like that, but it was when I entered to primary school when I knew the books. I always read the books that we've assigned to the Spanish class (except for one in specifically that I hated ajaj, it's called "La pata patana") and I had a lot of fun reading all those simple but catching stories, especially when they talk about crimes and detectives like "Quique hache detective" or "Asesinato en el canadian express". However i never read books on my own, or maybe one or two.

When I entered to secondary school I started to get even more fun reading books than before, in fact the books that we had to read for Spanish class I never take them like homework, I enjoy them so much that it was a way for relaxing from schoolwork. Besides I never liked reading resumes, in the four years that I was in secondary school I did that just two times and it was for time issues. It was in this stage when I started to read books on my own, most of the times novels about themes that I like (for example: "El perfume", "Crimen y castigo", "El caballero de la armadura oxidada" and also philosophy (for example: "Discurso del método", "El anticristo", "El principe"). One reason for starting reading philosophy it's because I had a girlfriend in that times who doesn’t like to much reading, so I read her books (the books that her school assigned for the Spanish class) and then I explain them to her (what loves does ajaja). This was my first encounter with this kind of books and maybe the first step on my head for thinking in a humanist career.

I don't know if I have a favorite writer per se, but i like really much a Chilean writer named "Ramon Diaz Eteróvic". He has a series of books that follows the same plot, but with different stories in each book. The principal character it's a Chilean detective named "Heredia", he lives in Santiago and always has a mystery to solve.

I like so much reading books, anyway I don't consider myself as a huge lover of books or a greaaat reader. So I don´t think that I've read so many books in my short life, but I would love reading a lot of books in the future (well technically I’m starting now with the university, but  I just need more time :c).

For ending I would like to recommend you guys a book that I read like a month ago, it's called "La ecuación Dante" from Jane Jensen, I don't know how to tell the book without spoiling you ajaja, but it's looong book with a lot of enigmas, mysteries, riddles and a complex plot that it will catch you. It's like "Código Da Vinci" but better :).

A journey:

Actually I haven`t been on holidays many times, but the times that I remember been on vacationns I've so many good memories. Giving my opinion i think the best holidays that i've ever had (until now) it would be the past vacations (on the summer of 2017, specifically on february) with my dad.

It was a 7 days trip to the South of Chile, we start in Talca visiting my grandparents and then we get moving with the idea on our heads of looking places for camping, enjoy the nature and climb some mountains. The first days we spent almost all day in the car just talking between us, (and a like it so much), arriving to city by city but always looking for something else, because we don't wanted to a turistic place full of people.  At the nights we slept in a tent in some campings on the road.

In the 5th day we arrived to a place called "Choshuenco", the perfect place that we were looking for; beautiful, green, small, with not much people and the most important, it had a volcano. That same day we contact with a guide (really lovely and nice person) who could take us to the volcano (called "Mocho-Choshuenco). So in the 6th day at 6 am on the morning we were starting our journey to the top of the volcano, it was such a beautiful experience, feeling the air, enjoying that view, walking on ice etc. At 12 pm we make top and then we descended, getting to the town like at 4 pm, then we launch and at the 7th day we returned to Talca and then to Valparaiso.

I think I could considerate this journey like the best until now because in the first place I had really quality time with my father :), but more deeply I personally like this journey because I fullfilled a dream, a dream that I had since I was a child that was getting to the top in a mountain with ice and snow, with all the equipment and those stuff, it will be a experience I'm not going to forget.

 My idea about a future job.


When I think about a job that I really would like to do, it comes to my mind the idea of something that really generates an impact on society, on people, or at least try it. Maybe when I say this it sounds really utopic an impossible, but I think for generating a "big change" we've to start with little things.

So well, first at all I believe that some of this little things are part of our daily lifes, in the acts we do day by day we can contribute with our "grain of sand", but talking especifically about job I think that the first step for getting there is getting my degree (on Sociology) :). Having this on my hands, I could say that a formal job that I would really like be part of it'll be on an ONG (Organización no gubernamental) or the INE (Instituto Nacional de Estadisticas), because I think (maybe i'm wrong :c) that this places or organizations are -or could be- the "tool" for investigate the issues that complex society and guide the knowledge to try to decrease this issues.

If you ask me more individual questions like the salary, envioronment, or traveling in the job, I would answer you that with a salary that allows me live good with all my needs -and if it was the case, the needs of my family- I will be good. Also with a nice enviroment with the people around me, a comunity -and beautiful- place for working in peace (like a big saloon) but with a lot of field work I will be excellent. And last but no least, in the traveling theme I would like travel to many places, but always with the objetive of getting or giving knowledge.

Personally, there are two subject that I like to get into and try to make a change since there, the first it would be the conscience about the animals and expand -in a good way- the principies of veganism, and the second promove the study like something good and fun, starting with kids and hopefully getting to more mature people.

But well, I still have soo many time for thinking, maybe the methods (and the work) will change, but I hope -and I will procure- that my principies and valors never change :).
