Friends in two Citties and the time (Free post)

Hi, today I will to talk about how is to live in two different cities…

What I mean with this?

Well, in first place, you have to know that I’m from Arica city and I’m studying in Santiago city actually, so, in the year, I am constantly travelling between both places since the beginning of 2018.

At the beginning, everything was great because I was meeting this new city (Santiago) and meeting my new classmates while my old friends and classmates in Arica keep seeing each other but over time their lives were moving forward, and they were distanced from each other.

My friends and acquaintances in Arica were creating news groups, like me in Santiago, so every time I traveled to Arica (on holidays for example), less people were attending our departures because some of them didn’t have time.

With the pass of the time, in Santiago I made a lot of new friends, and another new groups were been created, so in this city I feel so happy, and in Arica, I usually go out with my closest friends and I like that, because they are so excited when we are together. I don't see the rest of my old friends so much but I don’t care about that, I only concentrate on enjoying being with them.

My Profession in the future

Well, I’m studying Sound Engineering so, now in this time, I think that I have a lot of possibilities in the future about this work. Today, I don’t know what elective I will choose but I have the minimal idea that I will choose the Productions Classes because, I love to help musicians to create and record songs, help with their projects and recommend some ways to improve their projects.

If I choose the other way (Acoustic to infrastructure), I would to work on buildings or in the creations of acoustic spaces like cinemas, theaters, houses and more, even in industries where the people work with a lot of noise in the background.

Other thing that I could do is create a studio to make productions to other people, or work helping with the sound in shows around the world, we have possibilities, you just have to look for them.

I choose this career because I didn’t like anyone of the other careers, I can’t imagine to me working in another job and been happy at the same time, if I’m studyin this career, it’s because it makes me happy.

Country that I'd like to visit

Hi, today I will to talk about the country that I'd like to visit.
Since I was a kid, United States Of America call for my attention, especially the bigs cities like Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Florida, etc. Because it have a lot of kinds of people and a lot of things that you can do it in these places.
I would like to travel for this country side to side, from the west to the east, visiting famous places that were used for scenery of famous movies, and go to shows of my favorites artists.

I would like to live there because it is a place with a lot of opportunities of work, this is in part is because I would like to work making sound in shows or performances, and this kinds of events are so frequent.
USA give us a lot of things to do and a lot of ways to carry our own life, is this liberty because i would like to live in this place.

The best concert that i ever been

I remember when the last year, on September’s holidays (that was literally one week, is not much) I travelled to Arica (I’m from there) to visit my family and my friends. In this travel, I remember that I go out with my friends on the nights and one of these moments, I remember when we went to the show of the band ‘’Los Prisioneros, Narea y Tapia’’ (Yes, I know that is not the best band for a lot of people, but I will to explain why I liked this moment).

I like the band ‘’Los Prisioneros’’ since I was a in the primary school, when our Music’s Teacher taught us about them and their music. They are of the most popular chileans bands in the 80’s.

The show was in a big local, with bar, music, dances and a lot of drinks. I remember that the father of one of my friends helped us to enter to the event and get drinks (He has a lot of contacts in that world). So that night, I really enjoyed the show because I knew the lyrics of all songs.

3rd semester

Hi people, do you have a good year at this moment? Personally, I think that the year was not the big thing because I have had better years than this like 2017 (my last year in the high school).

The year started with clases because my career and the faculty were been with mobilizations so we (my careermates) were finishing our 2nd semester at the end of January, 2019. After that, I travelled to Arica (my homeland) to visit my family and my Friends but, when I came back, I realized that nothing was the same like I remember. This is because my Friends got other Friends and we did not go out like the other years.

At the end of holidays, I came back to Santiago to start my 3rd semester and I had been here to this moment. I have to say that, like I said in the introduction, this years was not one of my best years but, was been so interesting because I met new people, I record songs with my careermates, I met the south of this country with my girlfriend’s family and another things.

Actually I am on my last week with class to finish the semester. I don’t have time and I’m fear but, I enjoyed the days because this make me feel alive.

Talking about this blog and the english classes, I that this subject activity helped to us so much because we have to generate or improvise ideas and, we have to think in english. I liked this subject.

  

Food that we like

Hi people, I know that you don’t care about me and my life and I think that it’s normal, because you don’t know about me and I don’t know about you, but here we are to learn about us and that is the matter.

Well, after that I can say that I will to talk about a thing that probably nobody cares and it is how we eat.

For example, all the mornings I eat a yogurt bowl with cereal, sometimes with a fruit or juice. After that I live my morning without problems and in the midday I prepare a collation; it consist in cookies or bread. In the ffternoon (between 1:30 – 2:30 PM) I lunch a big portion of food (sometimes this is not good, because this causes exhaustion). After that I prepare another collation like fruit or bread and finally I have dinner.

Generally I like all types of foods except the spicy food, I can’t eat the spicy food because is so hard to me but I can eat the other kind of foods and no necessarily I like these.

For example, I don’t like eat salad with lemon and salt, but I can eat salad with lemon and salt without problems. At the same time, I don’t like soft drinks, but when I am on parties or with friends, I drink soft drinks. Another exception that I make is about the cheese; I like to eat only cheese without anything, but I don’t like to eat cheese with bread because is so dried to me.

Subject that I like

Hello everyone, today I will talk about the subject that I enjoy this semester and my experience in that class. Well, the subject’s name in spanish is ‘’Taller de Registro Sonoro’’. Basically, in this class we are learning how to record in a Studio.

These are things like how to locate the microphones over the instruments or amplifiers to get the best result in the audio record, how to connect the plugs to the mixer, how to use the mixer, how to use a old recorder, the Studio protocols, the operation of the mixer and some tips to the producers.

In the first classes, we have to know about some microphones, technical specifications and their use, after that, we entered to the Studio in the level -2 of the faculty, the ‘’Centro Tecnológico (CENTEC)’’ to record a song and its different instruments.

The reason that I like this subject is that I like to learn how to record some instruments, the use of the mixer and, above all, the place that we use and we work, I’ve never been in a place like that (CENTEC).
