My favorite career-related website!

(http://www.cendachile.cl/ National center of studies for alternative development)

Definitely the career-related website that I visit the most is the CENDA's website. CENDA is a center that meets studies from different investigators, especially from economists and recently from sociologists too.


Their objective is that through research, teaching and extension they could make and promote ideas of social importance on a national level.

Their topics are preferentially income distribution and poverty, the effects of globalization and international trade for our country, the concentration and transnationalization of the Chilean economy and the region, the sustainable development, social protection funds and pension, education, etc.

They got now a special emphasis on the crisis's matters, in which I´m very interest.

They publish on his website their new courses, publications, investigations, findings, activities, news, projects, among other things.

You should visit the CENDA's website, it's very cool!

¿Do I have a hobbie?

I´m not that sure if I really have a hobbie.
There´s nothing I´m particulary crazy about...

I suppose that there´s just some things that I like to do more than other things.

For example, I love doing Pilates, listening to music on my own, reading to novels on my free time, dancing, going to parties, sharing moments with my friends, eating with my family, going to see a movie, surfing the web, etc.

This is not something new. When I was younger I used to practiced a lot of diferent things like contemporary dancing, ballet, artistic gimnastics, flamenco dancing, handball, among other activities. But the thing is that I never continued one of them.

But what I do know, it´s that I would really like to have a hobbie to enjoy,
something to set asside from my free time.

What happens with earthquake stays in the earthquake?

Almost one month and half ago the earth started to move like anyone of my generation has never seen it before.

That day I was in my natal city (Los Andes) with a friend and relatives watching the "Festival de Viña", we really enjoyed singing Ricardo Arjona´songs like in the old times.

We were just starting to sleep when the earth tremor started. When the movement started to increase I got panic and it was my younger brother the one who had to calm me down.

In conclusion nothing happened to my family or my house, but watching TV was upsetting.

The next days me and my friends went to a school where people was colecting clothes and food to send it to the most afectted areas, and we packed those things there.
