Post 4: My Favourite Cartoon

When I think of my childhood, one of  the first memories that came to my mind are the cartoon series that I used to see. I have many favorite cartoon series, but this time I would like to talk about an animated serie created in Chile! In fact, the first Chilean cartoon made under traditional animation; Diego & Glot.  Even though i was 8 years old when this serie released, it  touched something deep in me, it was the first time that i saw a cartoon based in my own country (I was used to seeing series made in USA). I think that is the main reason why i like it, besides, the cartoon showed a large number of characters, places and Chilean culture.

In particular, “Diego & Glot” tells the story and adventures of Diego Plá an 11 year-old-boy, his family, friends and of course “Glot”, his iconic green mestizo dog (a chilean "quiltro"). If you don’t know the cartoon, i recommend that you take a look at the intro, it’s amazing and you’ll understand everything that i said.

I used to watch the cartoon every weekend on TV on channel 13, and i loved it when they showed my favourite episode named "Holidays", when the family of Diego and his friends went on holiday to Chiloé !!! Ironically portraying everything about the magic, stories and landscapes of southern Chile. It’s a wonderful episode and today is on YouTube! :-)

Post 5: My Future Job

Think about the future is a thing that doesn’t work so much for me… As you know, today I’m an anthropologist student, so I guess that my future job will be guided in this particular line. Although i’m not 100% sure of what major subject I’m going to choose (Social Anthropology or Archaeology) I would like to imagine a job where I can be “free”. In others words,   work outdoors, out of the city, perhaps   with communities of people, having an impact in their lives and help them and contribute to "create a better world to live". I wouldn’t like an academic job where I’ll spend all day in an office behind a computer, I would like to be with different types of communities or investigate extinct societies. As I said, I can’t choose between Social Anthropology or Archaeology because I’m interested in both specialties, if it were possible to do both things at the same time, I would do it!... Despite this I’m 100% sure that I would love to travel the most of the time, esp...

Post 2: My Childhood

Imagen
Childhood was an amazing time in my life, i like so much to think about that. When i was a child, my father always listened to music from the "80's", especially rock music from Latin America, so whenever i listen to songs like "Tomo lo que encuentro" by Virus or "Juegos de Seducción" by Soda Stereo, I return immediately  to my childhood and family memories.  I think one of my first childhood memories happened when i got in to the school for the first time. I remember when my mom took me to the place and I saw the children around and they were all cried !!! I was very scared but I didn’t cry, in fact I was very happy, it will be one of my happiest moments in my childhood. Also, my school had a small forest and a small farm inside, I was really happy. Before school or on weekends, my favorite activity was watch some TV cartoon series. I liked to watch "The Powerpuff Girls" and "Hey Arnold", i loved the characters and th...

Post 7: Wild animals and pets

Hi everyone! In today's post, i would like to talk about wild animals and pets. First of all, i want to ask you something, do you consider yourself an animal lover? why? If you had asked me this cuestion a few years ago -five years ago probably- i probably woud have answered "not so much". You will wonder why i used to think that way? This is because, when i was a kid i never had a pet. I used to play with my cousin's dog but one day, he bit me really hard, so from that time i was very afraid about dogs and animals in general.  But now, if you ask me that, i definitely consider myself as an animal lover! I'm saying this because i met some people, like my boyfriend, who's open their heart to show me their pets and it was a beautiful and magic oportunity to me. Me, as an animal lover today, i totally disagree with the use of animals of medical researh and any type of animal cruelty. I don't think that the human being should make use of animals for...
