A Special Place

Two years ago I let that one of my best friends convince me to went on a trip by doing auto stop (worst decision of my life), since the beginning I didn’t want to go, but my friend looked so excited that I had to say yes.

We supposed start doing auto stop from my town to coyhaique, and later we doing again from coyhaique to our final destiny Cerro Castillo where we would camp for one night. When we arrived to coyhaique join us a friend of my friend, I should say I hated that guy. Anyway, we starting to do auto stop to Cerro Castillo and it took a long time for someone to take us, it was a truck driver. All the way, I spent my time regretting about having gone and meditating in what I was thinking when I accept doing that trip if hate travel and camp (the worse part).

When we arrived to Cerro Castillo it was night so we had to search very a fast a place for camping, we found one a few streets away of the village, they armed the tent while I was exploring the place, while I wondering I found a handmade swing, I hadn’t realized that it had been a long time since I left my friends, so I returned to the tent and when I came they was already sleeping.

The tent it was smaller than I thought and I did not want to sleep with they, so I returned to the swing, so I started to swing while I was hating my friend for convince me to doing that. When suddenly I had realized that in that place you can see a sky full of stars with a beautiful hill crowned by a blanket of snow, I would never seen I sky like that, it was wonderful. I Spent all the night right there just seeing that completely in peace, surrounded by nature and I started to think that the trip it had not been such a bad idea.

My favorite piece of technology

My favorite piece of technology is   my laptop, because I use it almost for everything for watch series or movies, play videogames, for my projects of workshop, the university tasks of another subjects, for social networks, for read news or books, etc. anyway I think that I am trying say that is very versatile.

I spend the most of my time in front of my laptop either doing homework or just passing the time.

It is a bit ironic that the technology that supposedly connects us with the rest of the world at the same time is separating us, we are so full of stimuli that we are beginning to lose our lives, we spend all day locked in our homes either watching series or whatever we want, and that is how we just fall apart of the rest of the people. Also, this generate hate, it so easy throw hateful or offensive comments hiding by the anonymity that the social networks make possible, that we just can’t resist it. I’m just saying that this technology is making us more individualistic than ever, and that just can’t be good for anyone.

But don’t get me wrong I don’t think  that we should avoid this technology in fact is very useful and I don’t think that I could leave it and I thank God because it exists; is just that we have to work our way of being, don’t left that prevent us doing another things and don’t take so seriously all we do, see, and hear in it.

On two wheels

Hey buddies today I’m going to talk about cycling, I think that is the outdoor activity that I like the most because is a conveyance and a sport activity at the same time, even though Santiago I prefer do not doing often when I’m in Santiago because of the pollution, the cars, even the landscape of the city it isn’t comparable to the landscape of my beautiful region so here in Santiago I use the bike to go to places when I’m a little bit desperate to arrive on time.

I started to cycling when I had five years old, at that time didn’t exist bikes with wheels, so I had to learn in a bike much bigger than the one that I needed and it was very difficult to learn in that bike, because of that I fell a lot of times but at the end it worth it.

When I’m on my town is when more I use the bike cause I like to wander al the surroundings full of vegetation, fill my lungs with clean air and just relax.

I think the last time when I used the bike was a few months ago was when I had to get to a bank urgently to solve a problem and there was little time left to close the bank so I took my bike and went, at that moment it was my salvation.
