Industrial Design

Hello classmates!

Today I’ll talk to you about the job I always wanted to do and what I’m studying for, industrial design.

I remember very well when I was a little girl, I always liked to play, create things, disassemble toys and when someone ask what I wanted to be when I grown up I said: an inventor. Then, I wanted to be a fashion designer. I remember I used to practice with my "design the fashion" play. I start to draw human bodies and clothes but I desist because it was very difficult to me. Later I wanted to be a graphic designer, then an architect and finally an industrial designer. Now I’m studding industrial design and I start because I liked to do furniture and design spaces and rooms. But when I realized what really was the industrial design, I understand I always wanted thins. I always wanted to create things, resolve problems and it was better if when I was doing it I also was helping to solve people troubles or finding a solution to improve their life quality.

Natural History Museum

Hi everyone!

After the last class about touristic locations in London I have to talk you about one of this. I’m a person who like an assortment of knowledge so if found a place with a lot of information of many things it’s the place for me. Of all the places that we review the one I like the most was The Natural History Museum. This is a place where there exhibitions and collections of the natural world and where inspired for a better care for the planet. His mission is to maintain and develop their collections and use them to promote the discovery, understanding, responsible use and enjoyment of the natural world. 

This museum is located in Cromwell Road in London (by tube, in South Kensington station), it’s open every day from 10:00 to 17:50 and the entrance is free.

Iquique's Festival 2011

Hello bloggers

Now that we are so close to the long weekend of May, and I just can’t keep thinking that if I knew earlier I could travel with my family to Iquique, I will bore you with another history of my city. I’ll talk about a concert in Iquique. A few years ago the mayor of the city started to organize a festival like the Viña’s Festival but in Iquique and with no competition, just to have several shows, singer groups and entertainment. Well, for the Iquique’s Festival 2011 my best friend receive 4 invitations for ones of the best sites and me and two other friends of us were the privileged. That year the main dish was Alejandro Sanz. We, me and my two others friends, weren’t fan of his but Chumbe, as we call it, always listen his songs and knows it all about it. He was very excited about seen Alejandro so close of him and singing his favorites songs! So we went to the festival, sit there and wait. I remember we saw meanwhile INXS and La Rupertina. When was Alejandro’s turn we saw our friend jump of his seat and move quickly the closest he could of the stage with the camera like hypnotized, filming and singing all the songs. We all have a great time enjoying the show and laughing of Chumbe about his reaction and fanaticism.

Cavancha

Hi everyone!

Today I have to talk about a beach from Chile. As you all know I’m from Iquique and I love my city so I will talk about a beach from my beautiful and sunny Iquique. Cavancha it’s the most popular beach of the city and is the only one suitable for swimming. In summer it’s always full of people sunbathing, swimming, playing beach tennis and other sports. The water it’s warm and it’s no very windy like other beaches in Chile. Almost all friends here in Santiago know cold beaches and windy where you can’t swim without getting a cold or with prickling sensation of the sand lifted by the wind. The rest of the year the beach it’s pretty much empty only used by the people who like to have a nice walk or some others who like running and practice sports. I used to go there with my family or friends and walk by the theme park close to the beach. And in summer I like sunbathing but I only do that like 3 or 4 days in the whole summer. I always got tired trying to have a brown skin but in one point I accept that I’m too white to do that haha!

Cold journey

Hello everyone!

Today I have to talk about a photograph with a moment I like. When I was a little girl I travel a lot. I have almost no memories of my trips, but one of the images that I remember the most is traveling with my family to the south of Chile. We go across a place called “Las Torres del Paine”. The picture I show you here was taken at the bank of Grey Lake when I was like 7 years old. In the picture I’m holding a piece of ice, one of many and biggest of this place. Behind me we could see in the distance the giant ice blocks. How I think I told you before in other post, I’m from Iquique and as you know, the landscape is very different from that. I remember being so amazed of this place! And look at those immense blue sponges. When they break and fall they made a loud crack. I also remember making a walk in the woods on the hills beside the Grey Lake. Ah! I saw a person getting in the lake and swim in underwear. I can’t imagine the cold that feel that poor sir! Haha!
