A family meal

 One of the few family meals that I remember was for Valentine's Day in 2015 at the house that belonged to my older aunt in Temuco, my mother had a twin sister who had a daughter the same age as me, my cousin is like my best friend and sister, they both gave us the middle name Valentina and since my grandmother is religious they always celebrate our Saint, or well it was like that a few years ago before my mother's twin aunt passed away, she loved to celebrate us important dates with love.

At that dinner they made a barbecue and for dessert we ate thousand-leaf cake, which is the only one we liked with my cousin. At dinner there were my 5 cousins ​​and my sister and brother, my mother, my 2 aunts, my uncle and my grandmother. With my older cousin we have always been the funniest and we talked a lot during the whole dinner.

As a gift our mothers gave us a silver necklace with our initial and with an engraving of the date on the other side, to this day we have those necklaces and I remember that day with much love. They also bought us the same things even when we were very old, so we were dressed the same (I don't have photos of that day).

Brasil

 I have only left the country once in my life, to Argentina on my study tour when I was in third grade. I really liked getting to know another country, in Argentina there are a lot of parties and I went out every day for a week, it was worth it. I also ate a lot of chocolate and alfajores.

The country that I would like to visit the most is Brazil, I really like carnivals, I grew up in Calama where dancing is encouraged with carnivals like Ayquina and La Tirana, I often dance in them and I loved the party atmosphere, dance and celebration.

Ever since I saw the movie "Rio" the story of a blue bird in the city of Rio de Janeiro, I was enchanted by the music, the culture, the dances, the costumes, the colors and how incredible the carnival looks. Since then one of my dreams is to visit Rio, I share this pleasure with my partner and recently we talked about which country we would like to visit first, we both happened to be in Brazil for the same reasons. We would go for at least one week from February 17, which is when the carnival begins, also to see the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, the statue of Christ the Redeemer (one of the seven wonders of the world), I hope to go soon.

Vertigo Park

Hello classmates and teacher, today I will tell you about my weekend.

Sunday was election day, in the morning we went to vote with my ex-girlfriend, and in the afternoon we went to Mahuida Park with my ex-girlfriend, her mother, her sister and her boyfriend, a family outing. It may sound strange that I'm hanging out with my ex-girlfriend and her family, but we're thinking of going back, we get along great, and her family still invites me on family outings.

The four of us enjoy extreme games, whenever we go out we try to find what to do for fun, in Vertigo Park we jump on the swing, a structure that simulates a swing where they lift you from about 40 meters or perhaps more and let you fall. you swing until you slow down.

A long time ago I had seen this game on tik tok and with my ex girlfriend it caught our attention, it was a great experience because we jumped together, there was motivated music, we screamed and laughed a lot, it gave us this feeling in our stomachs of tickling from the fall free from the start

We spent about an hour in the park looking at the view of Santiago and talking with each other.

Rincondelrasta

Hello colleagues and teacher, today I will talk about an Instagram social network account that I have been following for about 3 years, the page is called @rincondelrasta. Upload content about the Rastafarian religion, which is very similar to the Catholic religion, except that God is called Jah and promotes a natural and peaceful lifestyle, moving away from an electronic and evil life.

His posts are about tips for living life to the fullest "tips from a rasta", illustrations from nature and influencers in the movement, information about the conscious use of cannabis, reggae songs and also images of other rastas.

When I started to make my hippie lifestyle visible, I searched on Instagram for pages about the rasta movement to get informed and follow content that I like, then I found this account that I now visit almost every day, what I like the most are the illustrations and the posts of life advice. They always publish information on how the fight for the legalization of marijuana and the release of prisoners for sowing is going, a topic that personally interests me a lot because conscious smoking accompanies this full lifestyle and for Rastas it is part of religion.

Life advice can help you if you care to read it.

My summers in the country

When I lived in Calama we always traveled with my mother, my sister and my brother to Temuco every summer, in this photo I was 11 years old and we went to my grandfather's field one weekend in January 2015. My grandfather lives alone in his land and with my family we go almost every summer to see it. In this photo we are running because they called me, my four cousins, my brother and my little sister that I am carrying, who were playing in part of the field to have lunch (you can see my grandfather's cows).

My family comes from poverty, where everyone lived in the countryside in a house made by my great-grandfather, a few years ago my grandfather built a better house compared to the previous one.

The countryside is a nice place for my family where we have all grown up and watch my grandfather grow old. I always played with my cousins ​​and brothers to build houses with sticks, look for pine nuts and digüeñes from the trees, play the countries, soccer, volleyball, cross the river, accompany my grandfather to look for the animals, harvest vegetables from the garden and many other things. There was no internet at that time in the house, so we were looking for ways to have fun with games.

Hello classmates and teacher.

Today I will write to you about a photograph from my phone of the Dread Mar I concert in the city of Temuco, Chile, on August 6, 2022. My favorite Reggae artist, his songs are generally about love and heartbreak, perhaps you know him for his best known song "Tu Sin Mi" which is about the pain of losing the one you love.

My mom's best friend gave me the ticket, saying "how can you not go to the concert of your favorite singer". The next day another friend of my mom's won free tickets. I finally went with my mom, her best friend and her boyfriend, and I also invited two friends who are fans.

Dread Mar I sings live just like his songs, seeing him was a dream come true, in general I only listen to reggae and I've known him since I was born because my parents are hippies. Seeing this photo reminds me how much I love reggae and the lifestyle I chose, with the typical “peace and love”, that's why I have dreadlocks all over my hair, it's a vine that prevents negative vibes from entering you and your energy stays in your body, it is a "shield".

Currently being "hippie" is no longer in fashion, it is a tribal fashion of the 80s, I followed it because I was raised like that, I maintain my style with pride.

Here are my favorite songs by this artist:

- “Días De Sol Nublados”

- “Laberintos”

- “Reconozco”

- “Arena En Nuestras Manos”

- “Mami Papi”

En el Aire of Nonpaladice

This song has been in my memory since I was little, because my parents listen to reggae but the first time I heard the song was one day dancing to reggae songs with mi ex-girlfriend in her room. We both liked it because we connected when we heard ir together and the lyrics identified us. The song is about how two people find themselves among so many people, and since the relationship continues despite how difficult it is, the phrase "between the ground and the sky, there we go floating in the air" for us means that we are our place safe, and united like the beating of our hearts. Now I listen to it at least once a day.
