The first CD I bought

The first CD I bought was a present for my father for his birthday, this was in February 2001, still has the CD and so hear it a lot.
The album was purchased in the market Biobío, take me long to find it, its title was Neil Diamond Hot August Night, were two compact discs so its price at that time was expensive.
I personally am not a fan of Neil Diamond, but I listened to many songs on the CDs with my father and if I liked some songs like:
- Solitary Man
- Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon
- Stones
- Cracklin 'Rosie
- Holly Holy

I've never purchaser a CD for me, seems very strange but is true, when I was younger I not liked the music,  in the last 3 or 4 years, I like it better the music and I buy my first a compact disc.

I think in the coming years the industry the CDs going to die, because as technology advances will be better  create a system for storing music on a more permanent and higher quality memory cards in recent years come in many devices playing music, maybe this is what replaces the CD, not yet known, but time will tell.

Correction of post's Valentina

I think that studying geography we have had many interesting  field trips, but my favorite fiel trip It wasnt for the University, it was in "Caleta Tortel", studing the river Baker.
3 years ago on vacations  I went to Coyhaique, specifically to "Caleta Tortel" because my sister  was working in a fondecyt project of investigation to the river baker, and she needed an assistant.
The investigation was on the benthic area of the river, and the species that they were living.
The team of work it was compound for 2 marine biologist, a chemistry of laboratory, a technician of navigation and me.
For 10 days we were waking up every day at 6:30 and we were going out in boat to taking samples with technological equipments. I was a small boat Because of it we had to to be organized well in the labors.
Then We were returning to the 13.00 to have lunch, and after it we were analyzing the samples old day.
I learned very much about the discipline, the teamwork and about the river baker.
And it was very interesting to understand something of the local geography
Undoubtedly I would like to return to take part of a trip study like that.

Bye!

A Field Trip

View of Santiago from Cerro Manquehue

One of my best field trips was the one who made ​​the subject of biogeography, was in the third year of university.
Went to the hill Manquehue It was especially fun because we got to know field names and the different characteristics of the species that exist there.
I really liked it at first was not very motivated, but over time the teacher explained everything very clearly and motivated me a lot. 


It has a "sclerophyllous forest type". There are trees as a Peumo, Quillay, Litre, Bollén, Chequén y Maitén. There are few shrubs such as guayacán. In the field trip we know most of these species mentioned above, its features and how to recognize them easily, scientific names, and why they thrive in this sector.
The sector of Cerro Manquehue (1.600m) includes other minor peaks, but they offer a pleasant adventure a few hours, as is the Manquehuito (1.300 m) to the east and Mount Carbon (1.350m) to the west. The Cerro San Cristobal and Santa Lucia, true urban parks, are the western tip of this cord.
In the field tripwe did not get to the top of the hill, although many of my classmates if they wanted to reach the top, but as far as we move was enough to know the species that interested us.

MSN and Forum: Social Network Tools


For me the best tools on the internet and also the most use are: MSN and discussion forums.
I use msn to contact my friends and talk about different things, also to know of my family who are far away.
Also I used to work with my university friends, when we have no time to get together to do group work.
The other tool I mentioned are Internet discussion forums, post them I realize my opinion on any topic, and also reviewed the opinions of others. It is very fun to discuss different viewpoints and defend each of the positions.
The frequency of daily use those tools, reviewed many times a day, when I'm in college and when I got home, I review the new views of other users. 
The I started to use MSN 8 or 9 years ago do not really know, the discussion forums started wearing two years ago, and are of different topics as the actuality of Chilean politics, sports and video games online. 
It's fun in the forums to see how some people agree on some issues and is more fun when you do not have the same view, read and analyze the arguments of the person who has another point of view, for better discussion.

Sporting Event Game between Chile v/s Argentina


Classifications match for FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010, It was a historic triumph for the Chilean national team football because for the first time, the Chilean team manages to win 3 points versus Argentina, for qualifying for the World Cup.
That day I was in the national stadium, and will be unforgettable, because chile attacked the whole game and never looked tired against a powerful opponent like Argentina.
The year was 2008, during the first half of the match, the newly admitted to the football Fabian Orellana scored the goal that gave the victory to Chile.
On the play of Gol Gary Medel was the one who performed the pass to Fabian and was on 35 minutes.

Celebrations around the stadium was impressive, many people could not believe what was happening on the pitch, everyone was happy and hoped that the results continue until the final whistle. I was always confident that Chile would win because he deserved it, as Chile played always on the offensive, the Argentine players were seen diminished and uncertain.

Ultimately this win was very important because Chile finished third in the rankings to the World Cup South Africa 2010, a position that had not been reached before, as many think it was thanks to the technical direction of Marcelo Bielsa, and also to the great capacity of national teams.

The first time I saw this movie was on TV one Saturday night, caught my attention from start to finish, I do not remember the year I saw but it was in 2005 or 2006
 
I like this movie because it shows the life of a genius. It also shows the detrimental effects of schizophrenia, such as those affected by this disease can not account for what happens and how they invent situations far removed from reality.

Furthermore, this film keeps you in suspense until the very end, we do not know what situations in the film are real and which are invented by the sick mind of the protagonist.
 
This film is special to me because it makes me get into the situation of the protagonist and how terrible it would be for me to go through this terrible disease, and also because the film is based on a true story, as the mathematician John Nash existed.
