8M

 One of the many extraordinary days that I lived before the quarantine (I'm sorry to leave so many moments and people out) was for the commemoration of this year's Women's Day (8M). I spent it in San Felipe with my friends Victoria and Antonia, and we got together in the afternoon to go marching in this city's square. I remember that first, we went to take ice cream to the "Heladería Olguín" that makes some delicious handmade ice creams, then we went to the Alameda that was the meeting point and we saw many women organized dances, songs, and artistic manifestations that left us stunned, I loved to realize how much talent is present in my city, one of my favourites was a dance that they did with a song by Ana Tijoux (that is one of my favourite Chilean artists) called "Antipatriarca". Later, about 7 pm, when it was less hot, we walked along the four Alamedas that circle the city centre and then arrived at the square. It was very nice to see so many women singing beautiful songs, all in the same tune. We arrived at the square when it was already dark and there we recreated the burning of dolls that their names were: machismo, misogyny, violence, those are some of the ones I remember, and then laurel leaves were burned leaving a wonderful aroma, alluding to ancestral rites. Sadly, after that, we were thrown teargas to disperse from the square and walked for a while until we managed to catch a bus. We arrived at my friend Antonia's house and her mother had many things ready for us to eat fajitas. It was a full day.

Unfortunately, the reasons why I chose this day are sad, as new femicide is added to the long list of women murdered this year, that of a sanfelipeña teacher by her ex-partner. I hope that one day there will be justice for all of them.

Get me out of Latin America right noooow!!!

Hiya my friends!! who don’t want to go to New Zealand? It’s a country with so much popularity, they have an incredible Prime Minister who has fought about inclusion and diversity. There're a lot of gorgeous and diverse landscapes, two islands define the country even thought has very different personalities, both are a spectacular place to visit. Also, New Zealand English is lovely, has a cute colloquials words. I consider it´s a very advanced country about the cultural aspect what make it for me an ideal country to travel, because it´s very hard find a country that promote the diversity but really applicate that. I’m too much expectant for travel around the world soon, I believe is the best way to learn more about the different cultures and enriched me. Bbyee uwu 👀

My future job

Hello, as I mentioned in video number 2, I would like to work in the area of the pharmaceutical industry, contributing to the manufacture and development of new drugs. In general, I imagine it as a very competitive job with many difficult but not impossible. It’s mainly an indoor job, but it still needs certain outlets to the outside that require empirical research. I would love to travel a lot and get to know many places in the world and if given the opportunity, thanks to my work, I would not hesitate to take advantage of this opportunity, because it would help me not only to get to know other cultures from a tourist point of view but also to investigate others scientific perspectives. In the future, I would like to be able to do a doctorate in pharmacology, so that I can benefit from my training as a scientist and complement my studies to better develop a future job, since this doctorate specialises in everything related to drugs or their clinical and technological applications,...

My soulmate!!!

  Hello, okaaay, I didn't go to a specific concert ever (paid concert), cuz I always have taken advantage to assist to free concerts. One of my favourite concerts is of my favourite Chilean singer Francisca Valenzuela, I have seen her four times (I guess) and I have never tired of hearing her (I love her). She has come many times to the "Chaya" (It's like a carnival)of my city and places near to where I live and obviously, I have taken advantage to go every time. I live in Putaendo (Valparaíso region), it's a quite city and most of the artists that come, walking and travel around it, Francisca isn’t exception and thanks to that I have been able to talk and take pictures with her (I would put it, but my face isn’t the best), she’s gorgeous and very friendly. I have listened to Fran since I was very veeeery little (7-8 years), I remember learning her songs and my family making faces of horror when I sang "muérdete la lengua, negra que te cuelga, como si per...
