Music

My history with the music I listen in these years, weeks, days and hours, could be so wide for writing it during an hour, so I'll pretend to focalize in some moments when I discovered the bands that join me since 14 years old. 

First of all, the music means to me a lot, because for that way I've also learnt about points of view of the societies, certain atmospheres and perceptions about cultural manifestations and even certain dream-like trips, farther the tangible reality and his maelstrom.

During my 14 years I listened a lot of Grunge music, especially the band Alice In Chains (even nowadays, although with less frequency), because his heart-rending tunes and the powerful voice of Layne Staley made me know about the giant musical universe I've been discovering til now. Certainly, I was influencied by some friends in these years about to discover a lot of musical genres and 

Later, when I was 16 years old, I discover a band called Slowdive, who is my favourite band until now. This band belonged to the Shoegaze and Dream Pop scene. His music sounds like they play under the sea. Just listen them, people!

Finally, in the last 2 or 3 years ( by the way I have 21 years old) I've discovered a lot of groups and DJs in the Trip Hop and Hip hop scene, but with sub-genres from Jazz to Downtempo, mainly Prefuse 73, Funki Porcini, Blockhead, RJD2 and Bowery Electric, among others. So I could finish saying that I never get tired of listen music.

Summer time(s)

It's strange to post about this topic, because I feel that my best holidays in my life have been in a familiar sense, for the simple reason that  I haven't travel with my family to the places that we visited in my infancy, like La Serena, Pucón, Colbún Lake, and some other places about 8 years ago until now. So, when I think about that, only emerge homesickness.

My best holiday with my family was when we travel to Colbún Lake. It were 3 summer holidays that traveled there, and each year we spent about 3 weaks. The place in that time (I never ever went) was so beautiful, with a peaceful lake, a warm weather with some days really really sweltering, and amazing view of the mountains and nice campfire nights. All of we enjoyed spend the time there. Besides, in these times we always travel with uncles and cousins, so there were more reasons to amuse with Colbún Lake.
But, in the last years I have traveled only with friends, so I lately have other kind of experiences. The best holiday with my friends was when we traveled for a week to Vilches , a mountain zone located 52 km to the east of Talca. It has a thick forest and a fairly warm creek and funny people.

So, I have two best holidays, but each holiday has his charm.

Thailand

I remember that when I was a child (8-12 years old) I wanted to travel to Italy, because I have a cousin who visited this country in this years, and I dreamt with doing the same. Later, I caught on that I didn't have more reasons for keep dreaming with Italy.

After that, when I was 16-17 years old, I love with the idea to travel to Tailand, jaja
Actually, I desire whit the possibility to travel and to know the people around there.
I know a little, for not saying I don't know nothing. Only I know about the weather, bloody rainy and damp, with so many forests and beautiful places ("beautiful" is a short word to describe the pictures that I could see). But there's a place what I really love to know, and that is the Koh Phi Phi Leh. This island is where was filmed the movie "The Beach" (truly, the movie sucks and only   matters the landscape).






But I wouldn't travel only for an idyllic and massive scenary. I would travel to know about the people and their uncountable diversity. In fact, if I have the chance to visit Tailand, I will straining for learning any local language, besides about thier ways to living. Maybe I would thinking of taking a job if I pretend to stay several months or a year.

A little about me

Hi. My name is Eduardo and this is my last English level, so I pretend to learn and dedicate this lessons to improve my skills, especially Listening and Oral Expression techniques. 
I was born in Santiago on 1991. I lived twelve years here (I said "here" because I'm blogging from this city, and actually I live here because of my career), but at twelve, my family (which includes my parents and my younger sister) moved to Valparaíso. 

In the port, I finished my secondary and high-school years, but I came back to this city to learning Film-making...the paradoxes of life.

My biggest hobby is to listening a lot of music and discovering new noises and artists. Also including playing some instruments like piano and MIDI keyboard.

Well. I haven't more to tell in this moment, so I just want to say goodbye and good luck.
