  A goal for me is something that I want to be or do, where we must sacrifice a time for it, rather for us, is part of our personal development. I prefer to have a big one goal at time, at this moment my goal is to get the university grade tittle, after this I must take another, I just have one goal because I feel that I must have a vision in long time for that I want to be, obviously the vision can change in the way to the final goal but it must be the same, I think that is   necessary have a focus. As this year was or have been so special, this change the vision of that I was doing, then in the next year I decide take the goal of take more time for do thing whit friends, travel or learn new things, because I was so lazy and no take time for me or travel so much, only few times in the year, because I don’t had time or energy. Then my goal is do different, activities with friend and travel   more, the idea is to value the little things, the common things that are so much missed in

 I am tired of social medias, but I cant stop using Instagram, this is a vice for me and also for many. This social media is so important that I know people who are called by their Instagram names, like me, dmenez. I have been trying to stop using this some days, and when I did this is so rewarding and I perceive that is a lot of time lost in the phone, also I feel better and I can do others things that interest me, but after a few days I use again it and I can exit. I cant stop using, I don’t like upload photos or histories, but I love see memes, send and receive this, or chat with another person’s. I feel that instagram is so important in this moment for communication, especially at these times, we can know about our friends without see them. I think that instagram shows a false image of people, because a lot of people only want to show his better picture or feelings so superficiall, where the people want to have more likes or followers when this is not important, another theme is fa

  Hi again, I am going to talk about my first pet, a dog. I was 3 years old wen my parents gave me a little an white dog with a brown spot in his back, what was his name? “Torito”. I lived in a field, where I could go wherever I wanted, and he was going with me. We walked in forest, planted fields or gullies, he was looking for rabbits but could never find one or played with my grandmother's chickens chasing, but it no had relevance, we had fun. When I was 5 years old I moved to the city, and Torito came with me, but he couldn’t get used at little garden, or the noise. One time   he was lost, and my dad found he before one week. I understand that he didn’t   like live inm the city and sent to my grandparents, where he would be free and would be with another dogs playing, and I would know that I would be well taken care ofI, then I was traveling to play with him in weekends. 15 years later he was old, blind and slightly deaf, went from running all day to lying down, grumpy a

 I've been thinking that I only have two years left to go, and I don't know what I could do after that. One time a friend with “powers” told me that he can see the future of persons, then he looked at my future and said that I will have work in next year,supposedly, that I should take it , but he no said that will be this work, only that it is associate with a bridge, but I am not sure about that it will be true because I am studying architecture, no engineering.  I will work in different areas which economic houses or little projects in the start, because is hard designing if I haven’t knowledge  about the building material, processes, laws or paperwork, then I want to work in littles works. My idea is to help, there are many people who need some of this, I could put my grain of sand to improve this society. Usually architecture job are offices of twelve or fifteen persons between engineers, lawyers and architects, but I don't like it because I prefer work in group at 3 pe

Chile is a country that reacts to problems, never prevents them. Every day people experience problems that used to complicate their lives and they are no longer willing to put up with them. The system always fails them. I think that the main problem is the inequality that exists in the access to opportunities such as health, work, education, among other issues. People who live overcrowded and have to travel more than 2 hours to get to work because the government gave them a 40 m2 house 20 kilometers outside the city, just to save a few coins, houses where 6 people live or even more, from the grandmother to the grandson. People are shouting what they want and should be heard, they know that the people who should represent them and speak for them no longer do so, they know that those representatives are part of the problem. I believe that another great problem is the injustice, it is supposed that nobody is above it, but we all know that in Chile some are favored by it, others are

  In the summer of this year I traveled to the south whit friends, a type of backpacking. We walked in a lot of trail in different National park, sometimes we walked all the day and my feet was so sore and tired but in the next day I was ready to walk again. One day we walked around of 40-50 kilometers and we returned to camping at 1 am. After 3 days in one place we traveled somewhere else to meet, the first place was near to Temuco an the last was near to Villarica, I met new people and it was so enriching. This trip lasted 10 days, I traveled before to go somewhere else and they continued in the south. Then I traveled alone to another city, there was friends waiting for me to go to the beach, we were a few days in a cottage near the beach where thousands of people gathered at a party every night. This holiday was so funny.

My favorite type of food is the cooked corn with mayonnaise or butter, it is yellow with many grain, it have different kind but it is all the same, the only difference if this is new, it have a better flavor but if it is old, it have bad flavor. I don’t know about the difference, but I remember that a friend said to me “the American corn is more delicious”, I really don’t know for me only exist the fresh corn or mature. It has one disadvantage, that only it grow up in one season of the year, if it save in cold, doesn’t taste the same.  It is no so special, only is a corn put into water during five or ten minutes, with a little of salt and mayonnaise or butter, it is the beaty of simplicity. I remember when I  was a young, I traveled at grandparents home where they planted many corn; in the launch or dinner we ate corn, my grandmother liked to joke with me because I had only two tooth and with this I can ate.

The person that I admire is Alejandro Aravena, he is a Chilean architect, he studied in the “Pontificia Universidad Catolica” and before in Spain, he taught in Harvard university. Here he took the option of return to chile and create an architecture office called Elemental, where he works with economic houses, he won the Pritzker in 2016 for his work. (that’s the most important architecture price.) He innovated in the social houses, he created a new answer in collaboration with the people that come to live in his project, then he decided to build the middle more expensive of a house and put structure for possible expansion, then he give a quality at this house and the people is more happy, because he can take more space for his home only a little effort. I like his work because he give quality and new solution to the people, and he put the Chilean architecture between the international architecture, the world see to Chile for a good answer and the families can achieve

I love how in this picture the colors look alive. Last summer I traveled with friends to the south, some kind of backpacking and we visited the Conguillio National Park. One day we were walking in the night at 1am and then we saw a beautiful postage and I took that photo. In the picture we can see the Llaima Vulcan in the night. I remember this night, it was a little cloudy; in a moment the moon appeared, it was full and brilliant and the cloud disappear, only around the Volcano a cloud remained like a necklace and the stars like a littles glow worms around. I took this photo in February and I’m glad that I did, because it’s a long shoot exposure where we took more than we could see, with living and brightness colors. Also, because after almost 40 kilometers by walk had the chance to live this moment for real makes it so gratifying. Months later and I still can feel it, a moment that´s gonna live forever  

If I like movies? this is a hard question for me, but one movie comes to my mind because it was so shocking, I talking about “Million dollar baby” This movie is a drama written and directed by Clint Eastwood, he is a famous actor of “the good the bad and the ugly”, also in the cast is Morgan Freeman and Hilary Swank, it´s a movie from 2004. Frankie was a coach who worked whit the better boxers, he was a specialist making winners, he has a gym with an old friend who, also, is an ex-boxer. Frankie is a solitary man, but he has a daughter, she doesn’t want to see him, but he prays and goes to church all the days for asking to see his daughter. His last fighter replacement to him but in his gym appear Maggie, a woman so hype for train, but Frankie told him that he doesn´t work with women, beside her age because it was a huge problem to train and become a professional boxer. Maggie is so obstinate, and she is determined to be a champion and almost got this dream but suffe

I really like the headphones, I bought it in the last year, it can be interesting because we can use anywhere, we can do a lot of activities using headphones. I can’t go out at home without headphones, even if I don’t use it, I need to have with me, especially if I travel because it helps to do shorter the travels. For this I use headphones all day in that I go to study, but not now because I haven’t gone to university. I like it because I can listen to music anywhere without bothering other people, and they can do the same. I hate people listening to music in a high volume in the metro or minibus, it is so troublesome. The life can be so different without headphones, in the street could be music everywhere, and people listening different music, it is not  bad, but  not all people have the same likes, then the people can be  bothered  with something music genre.

When I was a child I t that I Will be a football player, I really enjoyed playing   with Friends then I thanked that I will do this for all the life, or be a bicycle rider because I saw people doing tricks in bicycle and I want do the same. But when I grew up a bit, I liked physics then I preferred to want to devote more time to study. When I know more, the physics are easier. In the secondary I wanted to know a little bit of everything, and I had a teacher of art that He like manual arts and improvise whit materials when we must be something for school. In this moment appeared the architecture as principal option between engineering options. When I did the PSU, I took the architecture option because this major have a little bit of everything and now I no have dudes that this was the better option, even though in my first year I thanked change of major. I like the university, it is so enjoying because there are workshops and a lot of people with different ideas, then
