Last news in Chile


The last thirty days in Chile all the public services of Civil Registry have been paralyzed. All these problems started many years ago, but since the actual president began her command, the relationship beetwenn the national service of civil registry and the government, started a very friction about their demands , salary hike, a pay bonus, and better labor conditions, and what Michelle Bachelt it's willing to give.
First, this problem started in Santiago, capital of Chile, but lately another public employees, organized by the ANEF(National Association of Fiscal Workers) ,  joined the strike.
On the long term, the consequences might be very good , many benefits for the public employees, like the right for being organized as a labor unión, what it's forbidden by our dictatorial Constitution.
On the other hand, there are many people now that can not make their normal procedures on the Civil Registry, and that may have consequences on the their Jobs, private life and future trips they may want to do. I don't try to be empathic just with the privat procedures, at all. I'm just trying to think the news from the other side of the polemic. Not like our channels, radios and newspapers points of view, that usually don't like when private or public employees manifest their unrest about their labor conditions.

South Chile and my favorite pic


This is my last favorite picture, guess which place it is... It's Llanquihue lake , in the southern region of Los Lagos in Chile. I spent my last holidays there and I stayed for four days camping on the beach right by the Llanquihue town. Normally I take my own pictures with my sister Nikon camera, so ,during my hitch hiking trip in South Chile, I brought the camera with me and I took many pictures. From all of those photos I took , this is my favorite. Actually, this picture is my cover photo on my Facebook.
This picture represents my chill holidays , far away from the big cities and all the noise we usually suffer. It specially like me due the beautiful sunsets I saw. Also , when I see the men on the boat , down the Osorno volcano, inspires me the feeling of being in the middle of the like with no sound and no worries.
I have to add one more thing, I think it looks very good and I'm proud of this one :)

I hope you'll like my picture

Bye bye

Music styles and culture

Bossa Nova

This genre of music was born in Brazil, in Rio do Janeiro specifically. Bossa Nova's influences are Jazz and Brazilian samba. Bossa nova means "new trend" in Portuguese, which is related to the begging of a new kind of music during the 50' and 60' in Brazil.
It was very popular, even in nowadays you can hear people hearing new Bossa Nova songs, that's  why so many Brazilians  say it describes their culture very good. A relaxing and enchanting rhythm who explains why Brazilians are so nice and amicable.
I have many friends from Brazil and I can tell that it really fits really good their personality. Maybe now is not so popular in their country like Sertanejo or Funk Carioca, and just old people remember it, but the roots of brazil are in Bossa Nova, its a crosscutting rhythm.
Singers like Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa or Vinicius de Moraes, are great artists so I recommend them to you all!

I'll leave a youtube link from my Bossa Nova's favorite song:

My favorite piece of technology


My favorite piece of technology is my Ipod. It was a gift from Santa Claus during Christmas 2014th, it really made my daym :) The cool thing is that I can bring all my music everywhere, but I don't  use it so often now, because I used to play the music too loud and I'm going deaf.
Why do I like my Ipod? The main reason is that it has 160 GB of memory, so I can hear all my music I have on my laptop and I don't have to choose which music I want to have on it, I just pick and play everything I want. Before that Christmas I used to have an Ipod too, but it just had a 8 GB memory, not enough. 
The last two months without my Mp3 Player have been great. I miss it , but life goes on.

Bye!
