¡LITTLE BIG!

Well, I was thinking about what picture I could speak of... then I founded this photograph.
This is me, when I was about 4 years old, in 1999.
It was taken by my dad. The guitar used to belong to him many years ago, about 15 years. And I used to took it without permission to play it hahaha... and he scolded me. But actually I didn't really know how to play it in this moment... but I liked.

Me, 18 years ago.

And as the artists, we can see things that no other person could in its art piece, so in my way of seeing, I like this photo not because it shows a physical thing, or place: It shows me my big love for it (guitar), and that it always has been like this, since I have memory.
But as I said before, my father used to scold me for using his guitar without permission. ¡So it is paradoxical, for the reason that he took this picture of me playing his guitar!

The magic of music.

Woah, when you are asked about what kind music you like most, is something hard to answer. I mean, isn't "hard", but is a topic of wich we can be hours talking about. In example, right now I'm listening Pink Floyd. They are just wonderful. 

In general, I like listening to a lot of kind of music; trap, rock, hip hop, rap, R&B, pop, romantic ballads, reggae sometimes, music to the soul as bossa nova or jazz, music to dance as reggaeton, salsa, bachata, merengue, electronic, cumbia or pachanga... And I could write a testament about it! But if I had to select a kind of music, I'd say the urban music as hip hop or similar are my choices.

Instruments... ¡I love them! At least a great part of them: piano, harp, treble, violin, classic guitar, electric too, saxophone, traversa flute, clarinet, bongo drum, drum kit and ukelele, to mention some of them. 

My guitar :B

So... music is a very important part of my life. When I was 9 years old, my older cousin teach me how to play guitar, at beginning some notes as C, D, G… and the F, I think was hard to learn. I mean, everyone who plays guitar for the first time knows what I'm really talking about. Playing the F note is a big step in learning to play guitar. So, what can I say, I love guitar, especially mine, obviously.

My favourites singers are those who left their mark, alive or death singers: Jim Morrison, Amy Winehouse, Los Prisioneros, Soda Stereo, Los Tres, Michael Jackson, Simply Red, Guns n' Roses, Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd or Pearl Jam, to name a few.

I haven't really stoped listening any kind of music. I've been collecting different types of music styles and songs for all my life, it's not like "oh, I don't like this singer anymore because I like other things I didn't like when I was a child", but I'm adding more songs and artist to my personal musical library through the years. Just the songs of Barney, the TV show. I really hate them. And I did love that show when I was a kid.

I remember the final song of the movie "50 first dates" with Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler: “Somewhere over the rainbow”. It's way too beauty song. And the song “my heart will go on”, of Titanic.

Bellow here there is a song of Pink Floyd. It is really beautiful. It's poetry. ¡If you haven't ever listened it, I hope you like it!
Wish you were here♡ 

Technology and us.

As the most, I prefer the smartphone: It's easy to use, portable, multi-functional, and they are elegant to the look.

We can watch video files, film and take pictures (pretty good pictures), play music, being in contact with anyone in anywhere in the world, and a lot of things else that makes our lives a little easier.
My actual smartphone was given to me by my sister about 1 month ago. She always give me her old material things as technology. It's worth to mentioning she is 16 years old.
I mostly use it to know what time and date it is, to chat in WhatsApp, to find information when I don't have a computer near, and finally I use it to play music, too.
I don't really use it too much, in hours per day, I would say that I use it about 3-4 ours between bus, subway and walking from home to university and vice versa.
Day by day, having a smartphone it's kind of vital thing. We can go out without our smartphone, because our virtual life is pretty connected to our real life.

Near to people.

Hi there. It's me again. I 
must confess that when I was a child, I didn't really had a dream job. I used to play with friends and ride in my bicycle all day and every day. However, I could say something: ¡I think I dreamed of being an inventor! I used to imagine kind of a little TV that I could hold in my hands, but it's funny, because I pictured it as the older TV's, those that looks like a box, far away from what we imagine when someone says a portable TV, in example. When I end the career, I'd like to discover things, medical cures, or anything that could help at least one single person, to the satisfaction of making someone's life's any better.I thought to study Astronomy, or something related to physics, because I like that, but I finally decided to study Pharmacy. And a real important reason, is trying to make a better world, working directly with persons, make personal contact and educate the society the most possible.This career and this university is a whole experience, I really mean it. I can say it because I studied in another university before, away from Santiago, and it was completely different. Here we all are a community, with common ideals, we care about our welfare, being a "mechón" is not that different of a second or third grade student. We all help each other, and that's not something that happen in anywhere.

¿Are we the golden generation?

In San Miguel, Santiago, something was happening around 5 a.m., on 7th January, 1995, was born Esteban Cartes Jr., a normal guy who loves life, nature, study and party. Obviously I'm talking about myself, but this English class is like, "hey, the pronunciation is first rising, and then falling down" so I think I have to do this blog like someone who talks english as maternal language would do it. So, I’m going to talk a little about me: I live in Puente Alto, Santiago, I’m 22, Capricorn, and I love this career, now is my second love… after guitar.And now I’m talking what is really significant: the use of internet, trademarks like Facebook or WhatsApp and sharing lots and lots of information. Certainly today in the XXI century, young people use their smartphones to graphic functions in maths, by example, or in general finding information as easy as a finger touching.Personally I think that we give a good use to this technology we have the privilege to get access to. And we really appreciate it. ¡We can really do the impossible thanks to this!
