Blogging experience

Hey guuuuuuys!

This post is about blogging, which is fun because is a blog post about blogging hahaha 😂

Ok, my blogging experience was really amazing, because I really love writting and this allowed me to find out that I'm really lucky, no matter what happened or what will come, my spirit, my soul, everything in me, fells good and happy and I swear you, nothing in the world will change that and I realized that writting here so thanks for the opportunity, I really love this.

Well I don't know if my writting skills have improved, because is still hard to me conjugate verbs and use some connectors, but it definitely helped. Since I graduate from school, english was something I get far from, I mean, I read books in english and watch TV series with no caption (in english) all the time, but when I have to write it it's harder, so I really enjoy this space 'cause I was able to practice the connector and verb's thing.

I think that maybe in the future could be interesting to talk all the semester about one topic, a free or asigned one, it doesn't matter, but about one topic so maybe we could learn more about how to talk about that topic, or maybe like use two blog posts's to talk about one theme, so we could maybe made a research about it and first putting the information que found about it in the first post, and in the second write something deeper about it, or write about our experience with that topic.

Bye guys!

A subject I enjoy

Hey guuuuuys!
How you doing? (like Joey from Friends)
I'm doing very well, despite I'm really tired and of all the tests and all the work we have to do, I'm very good. I'm so glad this semester is finally running out! Because I had 8 subjects (A LOT!!!!!!!!) and an assistantship at Hidrología, and most of them were really hard and impliess a lot of hard work and study, 'cause most of them had tests, quiz and group proyects.
I think my favorite one is Percepción Remota, and it's funny because I don't have the best marks there, but I really like it, I think it's really useful and interesting, it has a lot of applications in ecology and hidrology, for example. In this subject we had theoretical activities at tuesday, right after the english class, and a practical activity at friday, that was even more interesting, because we had to use a computer program, "ENVI". There we had to learn how to process and get information from satellite and sensor images.
I think it was pretty hard actually, I mean, I spend a lot of time studying but I just couldn't make it work jajaja but it's ok.

Another day of sun

heeeeeeeeey guys!
I haven't wrote anything in a long time, so I'm glad to be back :)

Since we are allowed to write a free themed post, I want to talk about Work and Travel, because if the planets are aligned and everything goes how it should, in december I'm going to take the USE Work and Travel program, so you have to know that I'm really really really excited about it, cause I've always wanted to live this experience of living in another country. I'm going to live in USA from december 8th to march 31st. I still haven't decide in which city I will live because I would like to live in a city that had lots of great places to visit, so my first idea was going to a resort or hotel near Vermont wich is a city in the upper eats coast, so there I would have a lot of citys to visit like Boston, New York City, Pennsylvania, and I could even cross to Canada and visit Montreal; I think that going to that coast is the best idea, because in the west coast the citys are further away and I've been in Los Angeles already, but I would love to live in San Francisco, but as I said, that coast had less places to visit, for example, Las Vegas are 8 hours apart from San Francisco and that's a lot hahaha.
The only thing that I'm 100% sure, is that I'm going to do anything to achieve this dream, because I need to live this experience of being alone in another country, I really want to travel around the whole world and this is a beginning.

This post is called Another day of sun because of the La La Land's movie song, which made me smile a lot these days so I will leave you the video here:

Bye guys, see you next time!

Career related website

Hi guys! Today I'm going to talk about a career related website that I visit a lot, which is the US Enviromental Protection Agency. 

https://www.epa.gov/

I used to read EPA news releases like when I found an intresting article or when I wanted to read more about something related, I checked the website each one or two weeks. But in summer because of a internship I made in the Enviromental Department of AES Gener (which is one of the most important electric generating companies worldwide) I had to be always aware of the enviromental news, specially in topics related to emission, standars, changes in regulation and general EPA's statements, because they always were the most important organism in enviromental matters and lot of enviromental department of different countries were guided by them, for example when they have to set emission standards, cause they were a "reliable quotation"; the situation inside EPA was something that most of the people in the company were attentive to EPA's situation since Trump got elected as US President, specially for his statements made in Twitter in 2012, what he said was "The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.", statement he maintained during his capaign and current government, and since EPA corresponds to a state agency, the administrator is designated by the current US President, Donald Trump. For this reason on february 17th Scott Pruitt was declared as the EPA's Administrator

, él es abogado y se ha desempeñado "defendiendo la contaminación", pues ha declarado estar en contra del activismo realizado por la EPA y, al igual que Trump, del acuerdo de Paris, además durante el trabajo desempeñado como Governador de Oklahoma se opuse a impulsar leyes y normas que promovían que las empresas disminuyeran su emisión contaminante a la atmósfera y al agua.

Me salí del contexto, sin embargo, mi punto es que ahora además de estar susctrita al newsletter, reviso un par de veces a la semana esta página para poder evidenciar la forma en la que la EPA va cambiando su mirada antes fuertemente activista y ahora tan pro contaminación (lo cual si lo piensan es ridículo, ya que es la "Enviromental Protection Agency".

Collecting dreams

Hi fellas!
Today I'm going to tell you about the day I achieve one of my biggest music dreams (because I swear you, I'm achieving most of my bucket list dreams since 2015).
It was when I go to Coldpay's concert last year, it was just amazing, because I'm in love with them since I'm 13 years old. The thing is, that when the tickets went on sale I had no money to buy one, I was really upset because I've been waiting for them to came since 2007 (that was the last time they came to Chile), and my parents were mad at me (I can't recall why, because they get mad at me really often) so they wouldn't buy it for me, so I was resigned. BUT! my current boyfriend really really really saved me, and he gave me 1 ticket to court (cancha) location, I swear you, I couldn't believe it, I was SO EXCITED!! because I really really really love Coldplay so much!
So, I waited for something like 5 or 6 months till the day they came, and I was euphoric!! I mean, I've been dreaming with that day for something like 9 years? so I swear you I couldn't be more excited.
When I was there I already knew lot of things, for example, that in the middle of the concert they would move to a side stage so I was witing for that, and when that happen I ran to that side stage, I was like 5 to 7 meters far from them, it was stunning till the point I started crying so lot of people let me pass to get closer and closer, and in that stage they played one of my favorite songs "Don't panic".

I think that something that I really loved about Coldplay's concerts is that since Mylo Xyloto's concert they gave everyone a "mylo xyloto bracelet" wich is a bracelet that shines at the rhythm of every song in different colours, so it doesn't matter if you are really close or far far away from the stage, you feel that you are part of all that, and that's really beautiful.







Writting this post and actually every post in this blog, I realize that I'm a lucky woman :) because I've been in 6 concerts and 1 Lollapalooza, I've seen lot of great artists and I'm lucky for it! And now this year, the day before my birthday I'm going to Cirque du Soleil performing "SEP7IMO DIA" wich is a tribute to Soda Stereo, and since I grew listening to this band, I'm really excited, because when Cerati was alive, I was small and I'd never been able to went to their concert.

Well, that's all for today, bye guys, see you next time!

Dear 15 year old Ferfi:

Hi guys!
I'm probably not going to be the funniest woman in the world today, because these days I've been feeling a little blue.
Despite of that, I feel a bit excited about this post, since the topic of this week is talking about a photograph I like and I really love taking pictures.
Well, it was pretty hard for me choosing only one picture (so this post have more than only one), because I've been in a lot of beautiful places, I've met a lot of amazing people, and it's hard to choose only one, but I think that my favorite is this one:

this is in Anakena, Rapa Nui. And is one of the most amazing, beautiful and magic places in the world (at least from the places I've been), I went there with 2 friends for two weeks in the summer of 2016 and I can not remember being happier than that day, when one of my friends (I can't recall if it was Fran or Coté) took this picture.
Because that day I woke up early ('cause we were camping and the sun won't let you sleep after 08.00 am) and went to the beach near of the camping we were staying, I took my dive mask and snorkel to swim with the turtles, and then I went back to the camping, took a shower, had breakfast with my friends and then we went to Anakena, there we meet Hotu for lunch and since he's Rapa Nui, while we lunch the MOST DELICIOUS TUNA EMPANADAS, he told us myths and storys from the island, I swim a lot that afternoon (I really love the sea, so I was really happy in there), then he painted our face like the photo on the left, and after that, he played guitar

while we were sunbathing, we laugh a lot, 'cause also we met a japanese old lady that played "Ave María" in her ocarina for me because she said that I was a really beautiful woman, she told me that I have to go to Japan to visit her and to meet her son jajajajaja and she kept taking pictures of me and Hotu jajajaja well, that was funny but also akward.
Maybe you could think that it's not a really big deal, but in that journey I learned A LOT about myself, about being more independent, to take some risks and leave the comfort zone, and also to enjoy every single detail that could shown up,  (actually I learned it in the first trip I made alone, I went to Buenos Aires for 2 weeks and I went with not much money but I still did many things).

I would like to add one picture to this post that I think it's important for me and is this one:

now when I see this picture I feel a little nostalgic, mostly because Cristóbal took it, but in that journey, I achieve one of my childhood dreams, that was going to Los Ángeles, California and also Universal Studios, I will always be grateful for this.







Maybe you were wondering why my post is called "Dear 15 year old Fer", and it is because if I could show any photograph to my 15 year old me, it would be any of these.
Writting this post I realized that, despite now I feel a bit blue, I'm a really lucky woman, I'm actually happy and nothing can change that feeling.

Bye guys, see you next time!

Beer lover with a dress

Hey👋! Look what the cat dragged in 👀 hahahaha

today I'm goin to talk about how I turned from a beer hater to a beer lover

When I was younger (I'm still young actually, despite of what my silly little brother says), and my friends and I were starting in the "drinking world", almost all of them hated beer but they drank it anyway, just to be cool, and I was like "Ugh!" and I don't even wanted to pretend that I was drinking it cause it was really bitter and it was cold to even freeze my hands and GOD! it makes me want to go to the toilette like every 5 minutes! and not to mention the reek of the people who drank it, it was nasty and I hated it, so since I was 16 years until I was 20 years I had drank like 5 beers max, until I met my boyfriend Cristóbal, and he COULDN'T BELIEVE IT! (that's how he react, no kidding) so he decide that one of his relationship goals would be turn me in a BeerLover 🍺💕.
So first I really hated it and I thought in a moment that probably he would fail in his mission cause I could drank at most 1 beer and it took me like infinite so it always get warm in my hands and then it taste even worst!!
I don't know when I started enjoying it but in a moment it happened and now I REALLY REALLY REALLY love it! It's like the best thing EVER in a summer day, and once we went to a marriage that had a beer bar and it was the best cause it had Micheladas, that are made of beer, lemon juice, english sauce, merkén, tabasco and salt and THAT is one of my favorite things in the world, so now that I'm a grown woman I really enjoy drinking beers and that's my story for today.
Bye guys, see you next time!

Hating/Loving technology

Hi fellas!

Since I have to do my blog for english class, today I’m going to talk about my favorite piece of technology (I LOVE to write as if I have a really big audience, makes me feel cool).

Definitely my favorite piece of technology is my iPhone, which is an Apple branded phone. I got my first cell phone in 2005, it was brand Nokia and has a classic game, the “Snake”, I was 11 years old so it was really cool because in those days not all of my friends had one, I mean, it’s crazy how the times change from those days to now, where I’ve seen lot of little kids with cellphones, I have even seen some of my little brother classmates (who are 9 years old kids!) with cellphones even  more expensive than the one I have, it’s nuts. Anyway, I have my current cellphone since 2014 and it works perfectly so I’m not planning to change it yet, because buying a new one means “spend LOT of money in only one thing” and probably I would rather expend all that money traveling than in a cellphone hahahaha.

I use my phone A LOT, I mean I couldn’t even count the times in a day that I use it, and it’s weird because sometimes I even fell anxious about it, like when I have to meet with someone or if I have to go somewhere and I don’t know how to get there and my internet connection doesn’t work, I could lose my mind! But the truth is, that I LOVE to be disconnected of social media, in places with no internet connection only with the nature. I use it to do almost everything, because it replaces a computer in lot of ways, I use it to play little games, to read small things (because I’m a book-lover), to get in social media, and even to watch Netflix if I have the time and the connection hahaha.

Life without my phone would be tough, I mean the whole world works under the assumption that you own one and that it has an internet connection.

See you next time!

Hey folks I'm Fer!

Hi folks! My name is Fernanda, I'm 22 years old and I was born and raise here in Santiago. I studied in a non religious and very strict school (Colegio Pedro de Valdivia) near from my old house, because now I live in Calera de Tango, which is a bit far from all the city and my friends.

I have a big family and we live all together, with my parents, my 2 sisters, my little brother and my niece. My sister Isidora is 20 years old and is studiyng Comercial engineer, my oldest sister Danae is 26 years old and she studied art, she has a daughter and she live with us too, her name is Renata and she is 3 years old, and my little brother Victor who is 8 years old, and he is really amazing!! (something that you have to know, is that I'm a big fan of my little brother and he is a big fan of me too hahaha). And also I live with my parents Victor and Fernanda. We all live in a big house with a big garden and lot of dogs and cats (I love animals despite I'm very allergic hahaha is so ironic).
I have to mention that my grandparents are THE BEST OF THE ENTIRE WORLD!! And I love them soooo much! They don't live with me, but every time I want to be pamper I went to their house or to my boyfriend's place. I have a boyfriend, Cristobal, he is a Comercial Engineer, we've been together for almost 2 years and he is really awesome, he is the best, I admire him because of his resilience and his strongness, he always encourage me to follow all my dreams, to fight for the things I want and accompany me in my ideas, and he always do anything to see me smile so that's something that I really love of him ❤❤

I love traveling, when I was like 15 years old I made a bucket list of all the places I wanted to go before I died. And something really amazing, is that the top 3 of that -quite long- list that I made 7 years ago is (in order): Los Angeles, California// África (all I can see of that continent!)// and Isla de Pascua. And last summer I went with my friends to Isla de Pascua for two weeks, there I made lot of great friends and visited everything I could, I even went to a marriage and a baptise!! So I was able to check that place from my list. And now, last week I went to Los Angeles California with Cristobal, accomplishing one of the biggest dreams of my entire life! we went to Universal Studios, the Walk of Fame, Venice Beach and to the Santa Monica pier (which is a place that I've always see in all the movies with the Pacific Park and all that cool things!!).

I'm a really lucky, happy and beloved woman :)
