About Pink Floyd and small coins :)

-

The first time I saw one of this I was 9 years old maybe. It was on my dad's room, it was big, old and the most amazing thing I had ever seen.

This one was from my grandfather and had a little detail: it haven't enough weight on the needle, so you had to put a small coin in the top of the arm to make it work. 

I was starstruck with this beautiful thing and how it worked, for me it was magic. My dad play me some of his favorite things on it and I remember spend so much time just looking and learning.

My dad lent it to me when I was 12. It was heavy and difficult to clean, but I loved take care of it.

I got my own at 17. It was a christmas gift and I was the happiest person in the world. It was white and smaller than the one I fell in love, but it was perfect.

My dad loves Pink Floyd and I grow up with their music so, naturally, the first thing that I play on this new one was my favorite song of them. 

Now I have a lot of new things to play on it (most of them gifts as well) in different colors and sizes. And I love every single one.

  These are Rafael Cavada and Santiago Pavlovic, chilean war correspondants and those responsible for me being here. Francisco Cavada born on december 15, 1967 in Vallenar, Chile Santiago Pavlovic born on november 6, 1946 in Machalí, Chile. They both studied in the Universidad de Chile, worked in Telelvisión Nacional de Chile (TVN) and covered the war in Iraq. The Iraq War had a huge, weird and unexpected impact in my life, from name my teddy bears after the president of the United States when I was 2 (shoutout to Bushmei and Bushmei Primo) to decide what I wanted to study. When I was 7 years old, I watched a tv program called "Informe Especial" about the Iraq War and  they showed the moment when the US soldiers pulled down the Saddam Hussein statue in Bagdad. Santiago and Francisco were filming and talking everything they were watching on the top of a tank. That scene was tattooed on the back of my brain forever. Those men were there watching all those thing happen was somet...

About studying journalism and wanting One Direction come back from their hiatus :)

When I was younger and people asked me about my dream job I never really had an answer, I always thought "what kind of silly question is this?". I don't know why I decide to study journalism, maybe was because people always said I talked a lot (I'm still do it), but I'm pretty sure that I was in high school at that time. I remember when I told one of my teachers what I wanted to study, she said "do you want to be murdered?" (she's such a good teacher lol). My time at university it's been a little bit... Weird. I mean, two years in online classes doesn't give you the most stereotypical experience. I haven't made any friend here, but I've never been a person who makes friends anyway. In general, I don't really like my major (and sometimes I really hate it) but I'm still here because I like the idea of being a journalist, I guess. My dream job is to be a war correspondent (maybe my teacher was right after all) or a photojournal...

About five amazing lads and a little love letter to my best friend :)

This is one of my favorite photos (the bad quality is part of the charm. Blame Blogspot lol).  The beautiful girl with the red hair is my best friend, Valentina, and we took this photo the day we finally meet in person after a year of knowing the each other existance. Vale and I met on a One Direction WhatsApp groupchat in 2020. We became friend without really knowing, this groupchat was full of girls with the same passion as us but, like Taylor Swift said, all along there was some invisible string tying me to her (yes, I'm a cheesy friend. Shut up). This photo was on my wall in my hometown room, but it follows me to Santiago because I like to see it. We can't see each other as much we would like, but we talk every day and when we are together we have some good adventures. So thank you to these five amazing guys who give me the most amazing person. (Ugh, I'm never gonna let her read this. It's disgusting).
