3. My Dream Job

 Is There Such a Thing As a Dream Job? Like everyone else, when I was little I wanted to be a lot of things: scientist, astronaut, chemist and for a long time I wanted to study physical sciences (physics degree). The truth is that it wasn't until my third year of high school that I questioned the idea of studying physics, and my interests began to change.  When I started my third year of high school, I chose to study the intermediate level technician in construction, which was one of the two technical career options offered by the school. The truth is that I did not want to work in the construction area as such, and even less in administration (which was the other option). I studied construction because I knew that there I could learn things that would be useful in life, not as a vocation or my future source of income par excellence.  In this process of my last two years of my technical career I began to question many things, and to read about social and political issues....

2. The Best Concert Ever

  "Los Tres" in Summer It happened at the beginning of 2019, as part of a series of concerts that the municipality of Peñalolen put free of charge to the neighbors of the commune (and whoever wanted to attend, of course). The truth is that yes, it was the best concert I have ever attended, but also the only one. The truth is that, despite being free, the presentation was very good. My expectations were almost nil, I liked the band, that's why I attended, but I had never experienced being in a concert of a band that had such a massive audience.   The concert was held in a plaza located on Sanchez Fontecilla Street, closer to Los Presidentes than to Grecia.  The concert was held in a plaza located on Sanchez Fontecilla Street, closer to Los Presidentes than to Grecia, around 7 pm, although I don't remember the exact time because an opening act (a very good one by the way) played before the band. I went with my mother and some friends of hers with whom I got along very ...

1. A Country I`d Like To Visit

Palestina ¿Sightseeing place?   Hello everyone, my name is Dorian Ñanco and in this blog i will tell you why i would like to visit Palestine.  When asked which country I would like to visit, I don't think of any specific one. The truth, if it comes to tourist reasons, I would like to visit more Chile. However, as I told you at the beginning, I would like to visit Palestine, a nation that hides behind it a long history of segregation and religious exclusion, from the Ottoman Empire to the Israeli occupation. Why? Simply, I would like to experience in the flesh what it is like to be in that place and relate to the Arab Muslim culture.   Basically, I have a special interest in the Palestinian question and its historiography, so my intentions in wanting to visit this country are to broaden my perspective on both Arab culture and the religion of Islam and how this connects with the contingent displacement that its people have been living historically. I know relatively little...

Žižek!

 Although he does not belong to my field directly, Slavoj Zizek is one of the most influential philosophers and intellectuals of the last decades.  He is of Slovenian nationality, trained in philosophy and sociology at the University of Luibliana and psychoanalysis at the University of Paris VIII Vincennes-Saint-Denis. Among his most important works are the sublíme object of ideology, where he develops a materialist conception of history, but from Lacanian psychoanalysis and Hegelian idealism. In this sense, the approach of his books is almost always philosophical and psychoanalytical, as well as reflective and sometimes political or related to culture.   He mainly discusses contemporary problems in his books, for example, one of his latest books deals precisely with the COVID-19 pandemic.  As a bonus, although it is by no means a secret, Zizek considers himself a person who is passionate about cinema, and sees in it a form of representation of reality. He is co...

Pasta

 hello, guys in this blog we will talk about the pasta. I like pasta, but not just any pasta. I love the pasta my girlfriend cooks. It's spaghetti, with cream, mushrooms and shrimp. it is so delicious, and i love it because i have never met anyone who cooks as well as she does, and i am so surprised that she doesn't like her dishes, because i like them all. One time she made my favorite dish in the future for the first time, and they were delicious, but she said they were not as good as my favorite dish in the future. I hope one day to cook like her, since everything is exquisite, I would love to cook for her someday but in my way, so she can try something new.  

Yui, my cat

  Curiously, I recently saw a movie in which Anthony Hopkins appears, the character he plays is the owner of several cats and about one of them he says that it was impossible for him to assign a name, because they never respond to them and do what they want.    My cat's name is due to a character from an anime, and it was mostly as a joke, as it is well known that in cats names are more useful to us than to them, and I thought it was funny to give her that name.  The picture is from the first day she came home, she is a Carey "breed" kitten that we adopted with my girlfriend. We saw an ad on Facebook for a kitten picked up from the street and went looking for her. At that time she was about 3 months old.  I had never had a cat before, once there was one in the house for a day or so, but they made me vote it out. I was always reluctant to the idea of having a cat, and my mother can't be around furry animals, but we've actually done pretty well with her and h...

My Favorite Piece of Technology

I think my favorite electronic device is my cell phone, and maybe also my computer.  I think you can do a lot of useful things with a cell phone, even as much as with a computer. For example, sometimes I prefer to read a pdf on my cell phone rather than on my computer, or sometimes I prefer to print from my cell phone. So it's a very useful tool for day-to-day use.  The "story" of this cell phone is strange, my mother found it on the bus and passed it to me, I "fixed" it and kept it. I have always been good at losing cell phones, one day one was stolen in Estación Central.I lost another one jumping over a fence to get to the bus stop.  I've never been much of a cell phone shut-in, although lately it helps me a lot to check things out and keep up to date, read pdfs, watch something of interest, etc.
