Since I was little (I don't remenber my age exactly) I have felt a deep interest in anime, the cartoons from USA seem to me a little monotone, and anime doesn't have this problem, in fact, there are many different types of genres for each public, from deep stories (like "Evangelion") to absurd comedies (like "School Rumble"). In anime world, you can finnd anything you like haha. One the animes that left a mark in me was Dragon Ball Z. I have watched it since I was a child and I have to admit that it is my favourite anime. The story is about Goku and his journey searching the dragon balls, seven magic balls that grant you a wish if you can get a lot of them. In his journey, looking for the dragon balls, Goku will try very hard to become the best martial artist. Goku is a very inocent and pure person, who will always try to do good. When I was little, this anime made me believe that my whisers could come true if a worked really hard to archieve them. These les...

 When I was a little I didn't listen to a lot of music. I remember I had two or three songs in an old cellphone and I used to listen to them every once in a while. But when I grew up I started to take interest in more music and bands, and now my cellphone is full of music that I like a lot. One of those bands was Mago de Oz. I started to listening it  with my brothers  when I was a 14 years old. Their song, Molinos de Viento, is very especial to me, because when I listen to it, it brings back the memories when my family and I went to the south of Chile  on vacation . We used to play it on a huge speaker when we went for a walk in the countryside, so every animal could listen to the song haha. I can imagine the cows dancing to the rhythm of the music. Another band which brings memories more recently is Low Roar, especially their song I'll keep coming. When I listen to it I got goose skin because the lyrics are very intense and reminds me of a videogame that I used to ...

I would like to go to Japan, because I am kind of an otaku (haha) and really love that country aesthetics. I know that japanese people is very reserved and are always busy. I am also aware that schools and jobs are very time consuming and demanding. They hang out in places like karaokes, arcades, bars, and like to go drinking after work. If I went to Japan I would like to go to comics or manga shops, see the sakura trees blossom, try the food like ramen and the real sushi, go to Hashiko's memorial, and go shopping. But the thing I would like to do the most is go to a summer fest or Matsuri and see the fireworks. I don't think I would like to live there because life is very expensive, so I would just visit.

"I am a genius" As I mentioned in previuos post I liked play basketball a lot and this taste for the sport was also present in the series that I saw when I was child. One of those was "Slam Dunk". Slam Dunk is an anime from 90s that deals about the life of Hanamichi Sakuragi, a gang member who becomes a great basketball player, just to try to flirt with a girl from his high school. A complex story with romantic, comic and self-overcoming ingredient, in which the protagonist will gradually discover that he feels a certain passion for this sport, beyond the reason why he initially entered the team. Why I like it so much? Slam Dunk is a masterpiece from the 90s  and also is considered a piooner of sports anime. I really like all of this serie, from his witty jokes to his inspiring speeches. It teaches many valuable morals of life, such as establishing strong bonds with each other, and to never give up. It is an anime that’s been a part of my childho...

Hi everyone, as I mentioned in my previous post, I like cats a lot and in this picture you can see the last cat that I adopted from the street: Cielo. She was abandoned in the street, alone in a box, so I decided to take her with me. When I arrive at my home my mother was surprised but she acepted it inmediatly. The photo was taken 2 years ago, a week after Cielo arrived my home. I remenber that I had fallen asleep and she was launched over my chest to meow and meow until she woke me up. I had to caress her until she was quiet. In the photo she looks very ugly jajaja but at present she has changed, now she is bigger and so pretty. This makes me happy because confirm that with love and suport we can help to animals, and if you dont believe me, here is a picture of the present:

Many tastes are going to change with time, but play basketball has been a hobby that I have done from small.🏀 I started practicing it since I was 7 years old. A teacher told me that I was very tall for my age, so he taught me the basics of basketball: how to throw, how to handle the ball, how not to commit fouls, among many others, and after a few games, basketball had already enchanted me. I really liked it because it was easy for me to put the ball in the basket , I was very good ( not wanting to show off ) , which motivated me to continue practicing it. N ow I play almost every weekend and train every Wednesday because I am part of the FAU team. Another of the hobbies I have since childhood is drawing. I always liked comics and cartoons, so I wanted to do them on my own. So I started drawing almost every day, I can't deny that at the beginning I didn't do so well, but as the saying "practice makes the teacher" so I practiced and practiced. N ow my technique in...
