Anthropology and Money… what about it?

As no one should know…. I hate the hideous money…Yes, of course it’s cool to have some… or well… a lot…of money… because you can get what you want and buy lots of things... You can travel too, and all that jazz… but I can’t help hating it…
I think it’s because the obnoxious state people turn into when they think about the bloody money thingy… the $$ symbol in their eyes… it’s just so annoying for me…I don’t like greedy people… I’m not greedy at all… But as the human being I am… of course I like money… But at the same time I hate it. All the problems, at least in my family, had been about money... or caused because of the money… ant that had taught me that money sucks!
So for me… money, whether is important for some things, and some people or not… for me it’s not.
In this situation, of course I chose my degree, not because the money I could earn once I start working… but because the degree itself… Besides… I didn’t choose Anthropology as a degree to be an anthropologist, I choose it because it was the only way… and because I wanted to study here in the Universidad de Chile, to study Archaeology, and being an Archaeologist… and work with the past itself… because I love the mystery that lies in it…
So, as I said… my degree it’s more important than money for me…for the moment at least… Money it’s just an impediment to do and study what you really want… and well… how will I could make money being and Archaeologist… it’s a mystery…but… I think… if you’re good at it… and you got into a good project… you shouldn’t have money problems in the future…
In the mean time… I have, for now, four more years to worry about earning and making money… right?
Right now... I don’t have a job... so of course I’m not making money for the moment, if I work, I won’t have time to study... And now study it’s the most important thing to do... and while my parents support me... and push me to not work... that situation will be fine and in order.

Bye.

my faculty and the microwaves issue...

My beloved Faculty?... I like but not love it… It has a great lack of things situation… and the most important at the time…I don’t care if it’s shallow…It’s MICROWAVES!... you know.. a lot of people, including me, use microwaves to heat up our food… I don’t know what you’re thoughts are… I don’t freaking like cold food… when it’s supposed to be hot. Like spaghetti or rice or meat!... I don’t know… but it f*king sucks not to eat because of the microwaves… ok ok, I’m overreacting… I can survive eating only salads and cold food… but sometimes warm thing are really good!...And besides, before the TWO microwaves that we used to use where broke it was awful to have to wait soooo long to get you food heat up… Yes, it’s a complaining-full-of-shitty-shit blog, but my imagination went out since the last one… so… deal whit this one!
All right, the microwaves thingy it’s something that need an improvement because there’s a lot of people who need to warm up their food… and TWO are not enough…My first step would be buy like 4 microwaves for all the studentship, for all of us to get our foods decently heat up… The benefits will be just immediate… because everyone will be happier with brand new and more microwaves… and we will have more time to eat, rest and have a fun time with our mates and friends in the lunch hour… Next steps from this one???... Just to have a peaceful lunch… =)

MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC! ♥♥♥

Once again… MUSIC…
I think I’ll never get tired of writing or talking about it, it’s so much powerful than me the feeling that traps me when I pronounce the word…

Above all things I like Rock music… it’s on my veins… It’s the one kind I’ve heard since I was born… and even before that. Actually, if I have to name a song that means just too much to me, I wouldn’t think twice to say: STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN, By Led Zeppelin, the best rock band of the Twentieth Century. The reason of the importance of this one is that when I was a baby girl, it was my lullaby; it’s so deep inside conscience that every time I listen to it, a feeling of warmness and melancholy surrounds me and overwhelms me… I can’t help it. And I must add the feeling it’s delicious. But that song and that band aren’t my very favorites… They’re just the most special ones. I can play Guitar, I’m not so good at it but, the time I’d be able to play Stairway to Heaven, it would be the best day of my life.

My Favorite Band and Song so far, unlike what you can expect since one of my first’s blogs… is respectively, Good Charlotte and their song: Hold On. I don’t care what you may think of them, I have always admitted that they’re not too good, not even close to other ones I love, but to me…they’re special. This band it’s truly important to me, marked my life the first time I watch the video for Hold On…in 2002… yes, it’s pretty much a new band, but it was special… Besides the song just tells people to never surrender, and never let the world put you down… because we are all the same thing… and nothing and nobody is better. At the time, that touches me, because I was passing through a depression period on my life… I was twelve, and the song encourages me to go out from the hole I was into. The next thing that made me love the band to hell, was their concert on November 30th, 2005, it was a magical thing, my friends and I made a canvas out of fabric, and we paint it by ourselves, we were something kind of a Fans Club, and we put our name on it, which it’s too embarrassing to named it here. The magical thing was that the vocalist, Joel Madden, Named us!!!...So it was a wonderful experience…

Going to concerts it’s the best thing that can ever happen in my life, It’s such a relaxing, adrenaline and thrilling experience that nothing could ever exceed one. I have been to over twenty concerts in my life, and I have to name here the best ones, a top 10, I’m letting a lot of concerts out… but… the next ones deserve a spot on my list:

1.MUSE (July 26th, 2008)!!!
2.Los Jaivas (Every single Time)
3.Los Bunkers (June 13th, 2008)
4.Ozzy Osbourne (April 1st , 2008)
5.The Hives (September 10th, 2008)
6.Good Charlotte (November 30th, 2005)
7.Simple Plan (September 22nd, 2005)
8.La Ley (November 3rd, 2003)
9.Backstreet Boys (March 1st, 2009)
10.Avenged Sevenfold (May 27th, 2008)

So, that’s it… enjoy... =)

what a treasure!

The news Item was…
Largest Ever Hoard Of Anglo-Saxon Gold Found In Staffordshire (http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/sep/24/anglo-saxon-treasure-hoard-gold-staffordshire-metal-detector)


Right know I’m going to talk about a treasure found by an amateur metal detector called Terry Herbert, in july. The article, write Thursday 24 September 2009, starts with these words: “A harvest of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver so beautiful it brought tears to the eyes of one expert, has poured out of a Staffordshire field - the largest hoard of gold from the period ever found.”
We are talking about amazing things here like weapons, helmets, coins crosses (Christians of course), 1500 pieces! And lots of gold, and as we can read “may be the swag from a spectacularly successful raiding party of warlike Mercians, sometime around AD700.” And that’s the greater part of this kinda cience called archaeology… you can find thing from thousands and thousands years back, and you don’t know what can you find until you dig in the tight place.
“The gold includes spectacular gem studded pieces decorated with tiny interlaced beasts, which were originally the ornamentation for Anglo-Saxon swords of princely quality: the experts would judge one a spectacular discovery, but the field has yielded 84 pommel caps and 71 hilt collars, a find without precedent.” Is written in the article, and I said it was a treasure, but it’s more than that! The pieces are dazzling… amazing and overwhelming.. if you watch the video in the page.. or some pictures… you will be able to agreed with me…
In the mean time investigators have problems with dating.. but there’s a lot of thing undiscovered besides that…
That’s the magic archaeology has…
And that’s why I love it!

Food food foood!!!

Food... I don’t know what are other people thoughts about foods but I believe that eating it’s the best thing in the world… Of course I’m talking about foods that are delicious like pizza or cakes or cookies. Ok, well then, I love love pizza and hamburgers and fast food in general, but those aren’t my favorite foods. The number one in my list should, in all the cases, be potatoes in salad, with scallion and coriander, grilled meat and multiple salads like tomatoes and corn. I usually enjoy these foods with my family on weekends, and it’s just a perfect moment. My perfect three court meal would be, at first some mango sour and potato ships, then would be the main course, the meal I list before, and for dessert Ice cream fills my perfect lunch.
I love cooking; my specialty is rice (with lots of vegetables) or spaghetti with tomato sauce and lots of vegetables, or cakes… mmm yummy! =). When I eat cakes, or cookies (I just loooooooove cookies!♥) I recall a friend and my sister when we met and watch a few movies and just eat sweet foods. =). Eat rule the world, and I would necer understand people who doesn’t like to eat a thing!

In Santiago... Places to go...

For me, as a fan of cathedrals, that would be one of the first places to recommend a foreigner who come for the first time to Santiago. And well, now you’re there, just in centre of the city, right in Plaza de Armas, you have plenty of places to visit and things to do. Take a decision and choose go north, northeast, east or south and you’ll find three places you must, as a foreigner know: fist if you go north, the road will take you to one of the most traditional places in Santiago: Mercado Central, where you can eat seafood, traditional food and just enjoy the spectacle of weir and odd people while you’re there, just to enjoy the view. Haha. Then, if you take the second way, that road will take you to an amazing museum, one I like a lot: The Bellas Artes Museum. Just in the middle of the Forestall Park, there you can find precious paintings, sculptures and any kind of art you can imagine. Then on the straight east way you’ll find the Santa Lucía Hill, in there you’ll see such a great ancient architecture made of stone and the amazing view of Santiago when you are in the top of the hill, It’s just something you cannot miss!. And well, going south, a place, that’s a must in you visit to Santiago, it’s to visit the Cousiño’s Palace, and That’s! an amazing place to visit, is soooo over the top and all the decoration inside and out it’s just something unseen elsewhere in this city.

I'm addicted to...MUSE

What’s my addiction?... that’s a difficult question… but I think an idea it’s coming up to my mind…
I am a huge music fan, kind of a music lover… I feel music fills my life someway no other thing does, it can makes you fly, and be pretty much high without anything else, only one good song can make your life a bit better…
There’s a band that makes all of this and so much more… and that’s a British band called MUSE.
Before them I have never listen something alike, something so magically amazing, a music that’s so perfectly well done… and makes you feel…
The first time I listen to a Muse’s song, which was Hysteria from the absolution album, I immediately fell in love. There was such power there I couldn’t ever have imagine. Nowadays when I go in the bus to the university or back home… or I travel anywhere they are the first choice in my music player… I cannot live without those lyrics, that music, the sound of the vocalist voice, Matt, the piano, and the guitar, or without the amazing pair that Chris and Dominic are in the Bass and Drums (respectively)…the harmonious melodies they create to make me fly and just enjoy… pretty much in a state of ecstasy… they are just great!
Now I’m just listening to their new album and it’s just an amazing piece of art!
I don’t think I can ever beat this addiction, because it is so great that nothing can keep me from listen…and my advice for the people who hasn’t ever listen a single chord from them, if you don’t want to get stick to them… don’t listen to them. But, let’s be realistic here… I believe nobody should die without listen at least once a song… one single song…
They deserve be loved and admire by everybody… I had the chance of watching a show of them last year… and I can say… after that my life change… for me they ARE the BEST live SHOW I’ve ever seen… and I can compare them with big ones like Ozzy Osbourne, or U2… and they kick their asses! That day change everything… that July 26th was THE best day of my musical life… I fly, scream and sing as I never have…
Well that’s my addiction… and as I listen to “United states of Eurasia” I’ll tell you that… THEY ARE THE BEST!
“Don’t be afraid of what your mind conceives you should make a stand…a stand up for what you believe…and tonight we can truly say… together we’re INVINCIBLE” – Invincible – MUSE.
