I frequently visit...


The web I choose today is the Departament Of Etnohistory Of University of Mexico's blog. I choose it because it gives to me so much specific information that I did't have found on other pages, also this is an specific area of Anthropology, making interesting the topic.

The web is administrative too, with sections of Teachers, Rules, etc., but also it have a very complete sección of virtual library and it saved me several times when I needed a specific text.

 I visit the site one or two times at the month, according the level of tests I have.

I like it so much beacuse it's different from the tipical university sites, more flexible and dynamic, more investigation than academicism.

Vuelta y vuelta

Today I'll write about Congreso, a chilean band that was born in 1960. I think they're isn't my favorite band, but they're one of the favorite band of my parents, and that makes me write with more inspiration. Since I was a baby I heard that kind of music in my house; for example, few years ago in my father's birthday I was poor and I made a CD with the best songs of this band for him.

They have many songs, so much and so different  They used to play music with instruments from South America, but also they included instruments from Africa and classical percussion.

I remember I went with my fathers at two or three concerts, because my father's job is related to that, and they're old friends with old members of Congreso. It's a magical moment, with not too much people (in a big place), but everybody was people that really loves that music, they felt the same that the musicians, there was no difference between they and us and it's feel so different if I compare that with other concerts.

My favorite song is "Vuelta y vuelta", cause it shows the simplicity of the things and, at the same time, how complex and fascinating they can be. This version is special because they were playing after one of the band's member died, it shows how special they're, they said: "The soul is broken, but the voice have to come up whole".

My autobiography


Hi. Everyone knows me as Peti, but mi full name is Aline Madeleine Bravo Sandoval. I'm a chilean woman, and I'm nineteen years old. I live in Santiago, Chile, but not for long, I wish to live someday at the coast, to stay away from smoke and noise.

I was born in Paris, France, in November 24th, 1993. I lived there untill July of 1994, when we came home again, because my parents missed their family, friends and warm people of South America.  Now I'm living with mi family, they're my parents, my brother Davy, who's 26, two cats ("Pingüinito" and "Blanca") and two dogs ("Tintin" and "Felipa Camiroaga").

I went to the same school 13 years. Actually I'm studing Anthropology, because I like to understand different people and someday I would like to help to generate a social change.

I like so much to read, my favourite book is "La Tregua", by Mario Benedetti, I read it once or twice a year, and everytime is a different sense. Also I like writing, but since I started the university I lost the practice, that gives the talent. I hope this activity helps to return that.

Now I'm sick, drinking tea with lemon and honey, and listening The Beatles, with a cat sleeping by my feets.
