Post 3: The Best Song Ever

 Comfortably Numb



The best song in history for me is by the band Pink Floyd and it's called "Comfortably Numb", this song was created by David Gilmour and later Roger Waters composed the rest of the song. 

    This song finally saw the light in the year 1979, David Gilmour became more famous and known for the guitar solo that appears in the song. Guitar World magazine ranked David Gilmour's solo in 4th place on its list of "The 100 Greatest Guitar Solo's" although for fans around the world, it is one of the greatest solos in history.

    This song originates from an experience in a concert that Roger Waters lived, in the year 1977, the leader of the band was not in conditions to play with the group because he had strong abdominal pains. Later, a doctor decided to inject him with a strong muscle relaxant that helped Roger Waters to be able to play that day with his band, completely numb. 

While many thought the song was about drugs, Waters insists that it is not. The lyrics are about what he felt when he was sick with a fever as a child.

 It's the last song the band played with their classic quartet formation (Gilmour - Waters - Wright - Mason), was the closing theme in the last presentation that Pink Floyd did, so, for the fans it's a song that closed a cycle and a phase of this band.

Post 4: My pet

This is my turtle called Siba, it belongs to a species of semi-aquatic reptiles known for their red ears, their shell can reach 25 centimeters, they can live between 20 and 30 years. My father gave it to me when I was 7 years old. I took care of it and fed it since I was a child, I think I did very well because now it is giant, it measures almost 22 centimeters and weighs 240 grams. My little turtle Siba is 15 years old, she has lived most of her life with me, her favorite food is dried shrimp and pellets. She also loves to rest in the sun and to be taken out of the aquarium, believe it or not, turtles like this are very fast, they like to hide under sofas and beds. Siba is like a sister to me, she is part of my memories as a child. She used to be very small, but as the years went by, we had to change her aquarium more than twice to make her comfortable.

Post 6: Experience in online classes

This has been a completely new and challenging year for everyone, particularly with the situation of the students and the classes. Today the classroom, in most cases, is a computer screen or a cell phone, as the coronavirus pandemic prevents classes from being held in person, and professionals must resort to ingenuity. Therefore, the printing of guides, the creation of Whatsapp groups or the elaboration of video capsules have become the main allies to carry out these activities.   For all teachers it has been a great challenge to carry out distance classes through technological platforms, to restructure all teaching methodologies and for us, the students, it has been a challenge to be able to adapt to these new forms of teaching.   The headaches became a habit after a long time in front of the screens, I had to buy glasses to diminish the visual fatigue, but many teachers limited the time of their classes in good of the mental health.   Online meeting platforms have b...

Post 2: The best Holidays

In February 2017 I decided to travel with some friends to Chiloé alone with a backpack and a tent. We spent three weeks touring every part of this island that has many myths and beautiful places like Ancud, Cucao, Quellón, etc. I went with two friends to visit this island, we toured the 16 churches of the island, also in Ancud we recognized other friends who joined our group. We visited the National Park of Cucao, which has an intact nature too green and beautiful, we also went to the Muelle del Alma. Both places have a very different climate from what is known in Chile, so you have to go very early to avoid the cold fog of the afternoon. This trip was the best because I met a lot of unique flora and fauna in this world, which I would like to visit again someday. An extra feature of this place is its architecture in Castro, in this place the houses built on the shore are known as "Palafitos".
