In the sand

Well, I'm not a fan of taking pictures to other people or to myself. I get really scared when someone takes out the camera and shoots at me or want a selfie and I don't like my photos. I've never liked cameras. So what I'll show to you is not a picture, but a video recording, not because I'm tricky or a shameless person. It's because that time mean a lot to me and was one of the best nights I had. It was last summer in Horcón. My friend invited me to spend some weeks in his beach house in a community of teachers, a rural and very peaceful place. The idea was to play a gig in the community near the dunes to collect some money for one of the neighbors who was sick I think. We managed, somehow, to connect our little amplification equipment, we had many
electric troubles, but all of us were enjoying ourselves before playing. We played chicha covers with touches of afro rhythms close to the midnight, when everybody is drunk and overcoming the walls of reality and perception. It was a mystical night: everyone was jumping around like feeling every note and hit of the drums. It's funny how people react due to our improvisations, is like a chamanic ritual. I felt like we had summon old roots of latin music.

Scholarship hope

             

Since I was a child, I've had the impulse, maybe the curiosity, of constantly learning new things or read about different stuff and one way of opening my possibilities of doing so is studying idioms. If at any circumstances of my life I get the chance to study any language, besides English, I would take it without hesitate. I think I've mentioned this before. I'm very interested in Asian cultures, specifically in japanese culture and their language. It's very interesting for me how they have different alphabets for expressing ideas or feelings, even their own names. It could be a cool challenge. Also I could read from the original source without missing anything from the translations. 

A good way to start is learning it right here in Chile in CEIJA, and then, maybe, get a scholarship to study in Japan any other subject, like in what I'm interested: music. It's a long plan, I know. But if I work hard and with a bit of luck, it could work just fine. The ministry of education of Japan every year offers the Monbukagakusho scholarship to study a full career at any university in the country, all paid for undergraduates or postgraduates students, but you must have a basic level of japanese. Nonetheless, there's always other fields where your abilities can be tested.

A life job

Today I'm going to talk about what I want to be my future job. In my first year as a university student I chose theory and history of art, but I'm not happy. This could be one of my major mistakes I've done. Originally, I wanted to study music in this university but my scores were not high enough so I thought I could change to that career by studying in the same department, but it turned out it's not that easy. I don't want to be all day talking, debating and reading about arts, writing books that only get to see your colegues and a few number of people, making nothing but a minor impact in no one's mind, cause, let's be honest, not many people is interested in arts. It might sound harsh but I don't see a real utility in this career. The only interesting thing it's the theory and even that could be useless if we keep it for ourselves. I think I have the skills to create. So, I want to be a musician. Since this job is a little independent from a boss, you can build it up by yourself with your own ideas. Plus I'm very anxious around people almost all the time and this helps me.
