Technology? Sounds like fun!

I don't have just one favorite, but the one I definitely can't live without, is the MP4.

Yes, that's right, I could use my phone to listen to music, but I'm not used to it and I really don't crave it. I only use my phone to text people and make emergency calls, that's it.

But the MP4 goes everywhere with me. Before it was the personal stereo (had 4, but their audio input broke), then two discmans (classmate broke one in high school and I don't know what happened to the other one), an mp3 (which I lost) and 2 MP4s (one was stolen from me aboard transantiago and the other is still in use).

I got mine (current one) last year, after I was mugged on a transantiago by this huge guy who got out of the bus with my beloved device in his hands. This, because I use to keep it inside a pocket, like in my jeans or my coat. That way it's easy to change songs, pump up the volume or manage the playlist with one hand, while the other holds tight on anything. AND it's easy to be stolen, too.

I like it because I can take it everywhere, and charge it in any computer (I don't like batteries because they pollute~ they're expensive and they don't last as much as the pink duracell bunny says. That damned furry liar. Besides, it works up my state of mind everyday. Listening to music is one of the most inspiring things ever.

The thing is, I never stop using it while I'm alone doing stuff, unless someone comes up and starts talking to me. I actually CAN live without it, but I suffer, I feel awkward and incomplete.

Guess I'm a needy person? Don't really know~

The skills are strong with this one~

Our main skills needed are, in my opinion, the following:
- Creativity

- An open mind (not quite the same as creativity)
- Decent crafts
- An intense perception
- To be punctual (I giggled at this one)
- A decent oratory


I think most of them are learnt, but we're still born with predetermined skills to be skilled... you know? It's easier for some to learn some things faster than the others.
In my opinion, university provides lots of valuable things to us, but not as many as they could, and some students don't really appreciate it either.

It highly depends on us, on how we can improve these skills even if we don't have enough money resources.

We should somehow learn to learn.

I don't feel prepared. But once thing I do know: I will fight and I will go on no matter what. With skills or without them.

See, that's a skill too, and I strong, essential one, I must say.

To be DIE HARD! :D How do we survive not eating for several hours or even an entire day? How do we manage not to faint aboard transantiago after staying up all night? How do we handle the doubt of not knowing if we're using the right concept or not? That's right, we're the hardest!

Quintay, V Region

 First of all, I hope it's not too late to do this.

 This place is Quintay. I don't quite remember exactly where it is, but it's in the V Region, somewhere near Valparaiso...probably.

The thing is, we went there with our high school's 4th grade B as a final year's trip. 'Viaje de estudios', that's how we call it. It was twenty of us. We were fourty, but many people didn't show up. It was ok; more fun for the few of us. The beach, the cabins, the pool room, etc. We used to do crazy touristic videos, or horror films in the forest, so we had a lot of nice memories together.

That picture above, is from a photoshoot that me and a couple of friends did the last day we stayed there. I didn't quite enjoy it as I could have, because I didn't drink any alcohol, nor could stay up late. I kept falling asleep before 1 am.

I haven't seen any of my classmates since the day after that picture was taken. Except for the first girl on the left; she's still one of my closest friends and bassist of my rock band.

This is a part of my life I keep forgetting about, until I see these pictures again. Then all the memories come alive vividly, in a really beautiful way.

That's why I like Quintay ♥
