My favorite Subject

How are u Geo-readers?
Hope ur fine, cause i will wrote today about something u love... STUDY (jejej)
Have  u realized that when u like some subject it's easier take the notebooks and started reading? I think we are loosing the sense of study to learn something new and interesting, maybe cause we don't really questioning what we want and love do. 


It's not easy decided which subject I prefer, I really like cultural geography (my humanistic face) but I think since I have Geology, in my firt semester, I learned something that previously I had no idea. The teacher - Rodrigo Rauld- It's really enthusiastic and with a lot of energy to teach something he really love. Besides we had two field trips, one of them (and the first one) to Cajón del Maipo. It's was beautiful cause was the first time that I started seeing the landscapes with another eyes : understanding their processes and morphology. On the other hand, since I have memory I collected rocks... so now I could understand which kind of rock I have. 

The volcanism it's also something that transtorned me, I remember when I was in  school I spend a lot of my time searching on Youtube -I still doing it-  eruption of volcanos! saw the lava flowing (even trought a screen) it's  amazing sensation. And this year, for firt in my life I arrived to the crater of one of the many volcanoes we have in Chile, The Chaitén volcano (that erupted in 2008).
I leave u this photo I found in a book, that in my opinion it's amazing cause shows the power of nature.

┣▇▇▇═─ Televisi-ON


Hello readers
Today i will talk about one of my favorite program ever: KaBlam!  I still remember the happiness when I founding it on tv . Last week I search the episodes on intenet, and i realized that now i could see what a bizarre kind of show it is.. and I really love it.

This program was transmitted by Nickelodeon until the 2000  -I was 5 years old-  so my memories was not very clear (I had to make the sacrifice to see a couple of chapters)
KaBlam was an animated sketch comedy hosted by Henry and June, two cool kids who lived inside a comic book. They introduced a variety of short segments, and my favorite one, it's called "Action League". The show it's about a group of superheroes -played by real action figures-   fighting crime in the dumbest way with a really weird humor.
Starring by
The Flesh:  He's super strong and super naked.
Thunder Girl: Flies like thunder.
Stinky Diver: A former naval commando with an attitude as bad as his odor.
Meltman: With the power to... melt!


My favorite one is Stinky Diver... it's ironic cause he fears the water 

I like this program cause reflects the kid's imagination, with real toys in their respective conditions after all the adventures (Meltman suffers the worst impacts). Besides, KaBlam it's aimed both children and adults, where the imagination is the land of adventure.
U could find some episodes on Youtube (DO IT!, and waste your time jejej)
And you..Tell me what's your favorite tv show when u where a child!




Hey Oh! Let's GO ✯ ✈


I really recommend take a look to the work 
     of the mexican  photographer  Graciela Iturbide

If  u could take a plane and travel the place you want, what would it be? Difficult question, isn't it? Instantly it's come to my mind one country... Mexico

The attraction to this country began when i was ten years old and I found a book of paintings and the life of Frida Kahlo. The colours, animals, fruits and thematics of her paintings show me something hitherto unknown. Since then, the mexican culture began to be a cause of admiration.
Rather than the landscapes and rich native culture they has, I feel a fascination for their way of being, their traditions and of course, all kind of art manifestation.

One of the celebrations that catches my attention is the Day of the Dead the 31th October, On this holiday the whole country is involved in this cult to death. The women wear tradicional Catrina (or women skeleton) costume, which consists in an elegant dress and her face painted like a skull. There's also a long night of festivity, in conmemoration of all the loved ones who passed away. With spicy traditional food, and diferent kinds of altars decorated with candles and the typical peckered paper -considereted a mexican folk art-  this celebration reflects the syncretism between ancient national traditions and catolic religion.

I know that some day I will fulfill this dream!! So for the moment I will travel through the pictures and painting.

The love embrace of the Universe, the Earth, Mexico, Myself, Diego and señor Xolotl.
Frida Khalo, 1949


I want to ride my bicycle I want to ride my bike ➳

Hello cyberfriends!!!
 A long time without writting, but I'm back and with a looot of energy cause today i will talk about an autdoor activity. It was a little bit difficult make a decision of which to choose, but I finally decided to tell u the love story with my bicycle.


Once upon a time there was a little Cayetana at the age of 7-8 years old (I supposed)  I don't remember the age that I learned to ride,  The only certainty that I have is was the patience of my fathercause since I was a child it was not an easy job teach me something ...especially if the learning is based on falls. Since then I started to used my bike as a mean of transport and It's so goood! not only you could avoid taking the subway or the bus -It is not a minor advantage-  you also can do something that help u for your health, It´s really good way to let your mind blow and the transportation could stops being a problem, indeed, becomes in your own medicine for your body and soul.

Currently, there's a lot of people in Santiago that are using this clean transport, nevertheless, the city hasn't managed very well the way to generate a network of bike paths that allows mobilize throughout the capital. This added to the problem of the vehicles that  -in some cases - don't have the respect to the rider and of the atittude of some cyclist that doesn't follow the norms doesn't contribute to achieve good coexistence. I really hope that some day we could move around the city in armony... and that depends on each one of us.

This dog is the only one allowed to break the rules





My  bike is now in the garage fixing, and I already miss it! So, if u want to do sport or u don't want to spend more money in the  subway anymore... please get into a bike and you will see the changes. Be careful... It's an adicction
