Future Job

Artstation: Jacopo Colangelo

Hello everyone, today I’m going to talk about what I am going to be when I get older.

I’m currently a Design student, and although I prefer the major "visuality and media" (former graphic design at UCH) I have had some elective subjects about 3D modeling, classified as an industrial course. I prefer the visual area over the object area because, excluding the art of bookbinding, I'm very bad at working with my hands, I usually end up with more than one cut. Moreover I consider it very frustrating when you make a mistake because sometimes, you have to redo all the work. That is why I prefer to work directly on my computer. I'm a "crt+z" lover.

In my case, I would like to have a job as a “3D Designer”. In this job you can model objects or create scenes to present products, create scenery or characters for video games or animations, even for the creation of prosthetics.

I think the aspects that I would consider when choosing a job would be that the entry time was not so early, also that there was a good work environment and that I had the possibility of expanding my knowledge.

About my strengths I would say that I’m a person who adapts and can work well as a team. Also, I'm a perfectionist, but I consider it a strength and weakness because sometimes I think about things a lot and it is difficult for me to make decisions. In spite of this, I would like to learn a lot of new things and abilities.

Thanks for reading ♡

The music in my Life

Hello everyone, today the topic is music.

Music for me is part of my day to day, I listen to it on Spotify on my phone or laptop, while taking a shower, doing my homework, or cleaning the house.

The music I listen to depends too much on what I am doing or my mood. Generally I listen to reggaeton or pop music, but for example when I feel anxious I like to listen to waves or rivers sound, it calms me.

My favorite artist for about two years is Cazzu, a reggaeton singer. But, the truth is that I listen to all kinds of music. The only type that i don't really like is techno, I get bored very quickly because the sounds are so repetitive.

I don't know how to play any instruments, but I would like to learn to play Viola. The violin is also interesting, but in my opinion it is too sharp. One of the things that I liked to do before the covid-19, was go at University of Chile Theater to listen to concerts of symphonic music. I really like this music, it transmits many emotions to me.

What is the music for you? Thanks for reading, I leave you my favorite song of cazzu ♡

The food and Me

Hi everybody! Today I will talk about food.

When I was a child I was very bad at eating. My mom fought me to get something to eat. I did not like to chew and the skin of the beans stuck to my throat. But I loved drinking milk for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

When I got a little older my grandma started to carry me and she taught me how to eat. Sometimes we stayed at the table from 13.00 until 19.00 waiting for me to finish eating lunch.

Currently, in my family, although my dad is a roast lover, 2 of my 3 sisters are vegetarians, I’m not, but I prefer meals without meat. Actually I eat meat once every three months, maybe less.

My favourite food is “charquican” of vegetables, with eggs. Charquicán is a typical Chilean stew. It is made with potatoes, pumpkin, green beans, peas, corn, onion, garlic, chard and charqui (dry meat) or beef. This recipe is also prepared in Bolivia, Perú and Argentina too. But in each country its preparation is different and made with different ingredients. In my case, we replace beef with soy meat. In some places it is made with cochayuyo or they add seafood. I have always hated eating seafood and fish. I really dislike its taste and smell. Also the interiors of animals (like guatitas or “chunchules”).

Do you like charquican? Have you try it? Thank you for reading :)

My last Sunday October 25

Hi! I want to tell you how I lived the “Chilean national plebiscite” last Sunday.

I decided to vote in the afternoon because I saw on tv that there were many people and queues to vote. Around five o'clock, I put in my bag what I needed to vote: identity card, mask, blue pen, and alcohol gel. When I was ready, my dad told me that if I waited for him, he could drive me to my vote location (the wait seemed eternal). It was close to my house, but due to the pandemic we prefer to avoid public transport.

Everything was fast, there were no queues. When I was voting, I read each ballot twice for not making a mistake.

At 8:00 pm we watched the vote count on television. I thought the results would be more disputed.

A neighbor invited me to go to “Plaza Dignidad” to celebrate but i didn’t go. I live with my grandmother (94 yr.) so we can't take risks like this, although I‘d have liked to go, and I was a bit sad watching the celebrations on TV. Hahaha

When the exit plebiscite is approved and the current constitution dies, I will celebrate!

A country I'd like to visit

Hi everybody!I was thinking about where I would like to travel when the pandemic is over and we can escape house arrest (voluntair or not). I really would like to travel to Peru with my family. When I was a child, around 4 or 5 years old, I lived in Miraflores for a couple of years because of my parents' work, so I have very good memories. It is pretty close to Chile and I love the tropical climate, even when it rains it’s not cold, the variety of vegetation, fruits and vegetables that you can find. I imagine going to Paseo San Ramón, traditionally called “Calle de las Pizzas” some afternoon and enjoying a delicious pizza with a peruvian pisco sour or a glass of Inca Kola. The gastronomy of Peru is very good, I don't like fish but I heard that ceviche is delicious. In 2013 we traveled on vacation. But it's like a second home, so I still miss it. I leave you some photos of my last trip, thanks for reading.
