Hello!!! I'll tell you about my favorite book today! When I was young, my grandfather had a library in Santiago, in this place there were many books of all kinds, but one called my attention: "Swallow of winter" by Victor Domingo Silva. Víctor Domingo Silva was a Chilean poet and artist, wrote many novels and received many prizes of literature. Winter Swallow is first published in 1912 as a "leaflet" in a magazine. This romantic novel unfolds in a state called "The Rosales" where two brothers lived alone, after the death of their parents (Jose Antonio and Anita). A neighboring family, resident in the "Painahuén" hacienda, received, during the summer, visits from Santiago. (Graciela and Felix). Because of this, the protagonist falls in love, however, Graciela, a liberal woman, tries to get away from Jose Antonio. The story becomes interesting because the author narrates details, smells, sensations. I think what I really like is t...

Hello Readers ! in this blog entry I will try to write about my future job.  In the future I would like job in Conservation heritage, particulary of pre Columbian textiles. I  think  the techniques of textiles are very wonderful, because the "techniques" are the representation of society and religion. In the Andes the fuctions of the textile are diverse, you can find them in all social relationship, for example in the Inca empire there were two types of exchange, one to Kuraka and one to Pachamama , this is called " Reciprocidad " . The exchange are not only economic, also are religious.  I hope to work in a museum and doing research. For me conservation is very important, because it allows us to know and to protect the intangible heritage. My dream is to travel for America knowing different techniques and indigenous communities. I hope, i can live from my job, I dont need a big salary, but I need money!  The next step in my career is to do a pos...

Hello readers!!! today i will talk to about my favorite tv show! i hope you liked to. This tv show was so important for childrens of my generation ¡hey Arnold! Hey Arnold is an animated series, which was broadcast on Nickelodeon from 1996 to 2004. The show focuses on an Arnold, who lives with his grandparents in a boarding house. The episodes show the life of a fourth-grader and the adventures with his friends in a fictional town called Hillwood. Arnold has a strange balloon head, is very atypical like all his friends. Sometimes he feels sad because he does not have a normal family, but he is still very optimistic and happy. My favorite character is Helga G. Pataki, a girl from her school who was in love with him. She is rude because she needs to hide her love for Arnold. I will not continue to count more because I think everyone saw it or not? well I hope so. Hey, Arnold! was so relevant to me because I have many cute memories of my childhood watching that series, I remember ...

Hello Readers! Today I will tell you about my best holidays ever! It happened in 2012 when I went to visit Bolivia with one of my best friend, her name is Javiera and she is so important for me. In this trip, we visit a lot of places, we went to La Paz up to the bolivian jungle, our trip lasted for two months. This trip is very memorable because I met a part of me that I did not know ¡my love for textile techniques! I love pre-Columbian textile arts! In Bolivia, you can meet weavers, many types of looms and different indigenous communities. In Sucre, it exists a weaver community. I knew in Sucre a weavers community, they taught me the technique of waist loom and to identify different ways for weaving. Learning this technique developed in me a new appreciation of the world. That holiday was  important in many ways because I knew a lot more than just places. I hope you like this blog entry! Bolivia was a magical place for me and for my best friend. see you next week!! ...
