This photograph is one of my favorite, a friend took it when we go to a trekking last year, the best of everything is that i didn't know he was taken the photo. What i love most of this photo is that you can see a piece of the landscape where we been and realise how wonderful and amazing is the nature and how close it been. Other thing that i love is that in the bottom you can see the majestic Cordillera de los Andes snowy, if the Cordillera it's beautiful normally you can realise  how wonderful it's see with snow. In there we can see too how little are we, thats another thing that i like in this photo, the perspective in the photograph. The nature gives me peace and recharge me to continue with the routine in the city.

I love the photograpy so much, it's one of my hobbies, but i prefer the analog photography, i have a Zenit 122 and its amazing! The only trouble is that i don't know yet to develop the film by myself, so i have to go to a photo lab and wait a lot to see the photos that i take jajaja.

Clotario Blest

Hello, well i'm gonna talk about somebody that i admire, the person that i chose is Clotario Blest Riffo. He was a union leader and and a person on behalf of human rights and the chilean's worker.

He born on the 17 of november, 1899, in Santiago of Chile.He studies in the Seminary of Santiago but he never chose the way of priesthood. In 1922 he started to work as public employee in the General Treasury of the Republic, and then in 1930 he start his union activity inside of the public administration. He created the ANEF ( national association of government employee) in 1943 and finally in 1953 he accomplish his dream, the founding of the CUT ( Central united of worker).

I like him because he is a person who believe in the respect of the human rights and not just that, he worked and  fought for them, trying to make a country more fair and ameliorate the laboral condition of the people. He is a big model for the person who are interesting in the syndicalism and the laboral conditions.

Beginners

 My favorite movie is "Beginners, this is what love feels like." directed by Mike Mill. It's the storie of Oliver (Ewan McGregor), who meet a girl on a party, Anna (Melanie Laurent) a few month after the death of Oliver's father Hal (Christopher Plummer). The thing is that this movie is structured on a series of flashbacks so you could thing that it's confused, but no, it's a simple romantic comedy-drama but very diferent to what i see before. Oliver's father after the death of Georgia ( Oliver's mother interpreted by Mary Page Keller) confess that he always have been gay and he start to live an open gay's life. Everything ok ( if we could say that) at this moment right? the problem start when Hal it's diagnose with a cancer and died few months after. Oliver reflect about the life and death of Hal, and how at last he was trying to be really happy an honest with life. then he meets Anna and try to start a relationship, but both have a lot of problems with themselves so the things doesn't be easy but they try to make it happen.

I like this movie principaly because i feel very identify, not because happen this things to me, it's because the vision that Mike Mill try to express of the love, life and the relations with other people and how over and over we have to start like beginners in every situations.

Ok, i'm not too well talking about my life but here we go.

My name is Katherine Oliva Aravena, but i never like too much that people call me by my complete first name so i prefer everyone call me Kathy. I was born in an incredible country on the south of the world called Chile, more specific in the capital Santiago, on the 30th December 1994.

I went to San Lorenzo primary school that is very close to my house and is very little, everyone knows each other, but then i went to the emblematic secondary school Liceo 1 Javiera Carrera, that is completely the opposite, a big school where you was one in hundred  and very far away from home, but where as student we have a big commitment with the society so we were very involve with the national problems. I think that this influences me to take one of the, in my opinion, biggest decision in my life, the career that i will study. I always know where i wanted to studies, but never what. So finally i decide to study Public Administration, but as a way to can study political sciences, everything in the Universidad de Chile.

 My family is made up of my mother Patricia and my bigger sister Nicole, they both live with me and the six cats of my sister, (yeah SIX!). My father Bernardo and my half brother Bernardo (yeah very original) live in other house with the wife of my dad. All of us live here in Santiago. 


On my free time i like to write and principally take pictures, i love photography.
