A Photo and a Story

Hello and welcome back! Today I will talk about this photo and its history

Yes, I know it's blurry, but actually I think that's what I like most about this photo, because it captures the essence of the people who are there, the woman and the boy in the photo are two of the most important people in the world to me, my sister and my nephew. On the one hand, it is special because it shows my sister, who has been living outside Chile for years and this photo shows one of those few occasions when we are alone and share moments during her short visits, moments that are quite special for me because we were always quite close and it is always good to have your loved ones for you, even if it is only for a short time. On the other hand appears my nephew, who actually is more like my little brother, I grew up with him since we were little, most of my memories are with him, and for him I would give everything, that's why I guess it is my favorite picture, I mean, two of the people I love the most in the same picture? what is this, a crossover episode? (Bojack Horseman reference hopefully you get it haha). And the story behind the photo is actually pretty simple, it was a pre pandemic family outing around 2018, one of those times where you didn't have to worry about the mask or the alcohol gel and it wasn't that hard for my sister to come see us, in this picture we were at the cinema (which nowadays are closed) and actually our only concern at that time was to get to the theater on time to not miss any part of the movie, although I do not remember what we went to see, I would like to return to those times of banal concerns, where it was easy to see you often with the people you love and devise plans to kill the afternoon and have a good time. 

Well, I hope I didn't bore you with this story. I think this is our last blog, so thanks for joining me until this part, kisses!

A Meal I Really Like!

The pancake is a kind of crepe that is used for sweet and savory preparations. Personally, my favorite pancake presentation is with caramel sauce filling, but any filling can be used. In any case, pancakes should not be confused with crepes, as they have different ways of preparation. 

Today we will see how to prepare pancakes. :)

For the preparation of pancakes you need:

-1 cup of flour

-1 cup of milk

-3 eggs

-Oil

-Caramel sauce

In a bowl, combine the flour (previously sifted to avoid lumps) with the milk and eggs.  Whisk until all the ingredients are incorporated. Then, in a previously oiled frying pan, pour the mixture and let it cook for 1 or 2 minutes per side. Once cooked, let our pancakes rest for a while and then fill them with caramel sauce or whatever sauce you like, then roll them up and eat!.

It is one of my favorite preparations since it was the first one I learned to make thanks to my dad teaching me, it is very easy and quick to make and it is always perfect to make it for a loved one or for yourself, to eat on a winter afternoon, or at a summer dinner, it is always an ideal time to make pancakes. However, I don't make pancakes very often as I usually do it on important or special occasions, or when I really feel like it, so I don't think it is very harmful to my health.

My Favorite Piece of Technology

Welcome back! Today I will talk about my favorite technological instrument, my computer.

The truth is that I'm not a fan of spending all day in front of my cell phone or computer screen, but I suppose I should be grateful for everything it allows me to do, from my classes and university work, to allowing me to stay in touch with my friends in a rather entertaining way in the midst of this quarantine that has me on the verge of madness.

It supports the applications with which I have to do my university assignments and allows me to connect to online classes via zoom or google meet.It also supports games that allow me to have some virtual fun with my friends, and also allows me to talk and even watch movies with them via discord. It also keeps me in touch with my family through video calls.  And one of the most important things, it allows me to play loud Youtube music to listen to while doing anything, such as work, homework, college stuff, etc. 

Anyway, as I said, I insist that I am not a big fan of spending the whole day behind a screen, as it usually causes me intense headaches and eye irritation, also I think it is important to inform that I suffer from myopia and astigmatism and sometimes I feel that spending a lot of time sitting in front of the computer worsens my eyesight. And as I said, not being very close to technology, sometimes it overcomes me and generates another kind of headache haha, if you know what I mean.

Of course I recommend it, as long as they use it in a moderate way avoiding inconveniences such as headaches. 

It is very useful to keep in touch with the people you love and to carry out different types of recreational and work activities.

Well, that's all for today friends, thank you very much for reading me all the way down here.

Why did I choose my career?

Why did I choose my career?

To begin with, in my childhood I never worried about this issue, and it came to me in my adolescence, throughout this I went through several options without any concrete foundation, ideas about an uncertain future in which I always found it difficult to project myself in the question: What do I want to do with my life?

At 14 I was very sure that I wanted to be a lawyer without even being sure what it was about, in that way over the years I thought about various careers such as digital animation, theater design, design, architecture, psychology, pedagogy, etc. But none of these options caught my eye entirely and they were always just options.

Once in fourth grade, totally lost in that decision and without a clear idea, I thought "maybe I could take a year to think about it." So I gave the PSU and waited for my results without great expectations. Nothing foreshadowed this naive young woman that her anxiety would conquer her and she would end up applying for three careers without knowing that the position in which she placed them was dispensable when it came to applying. That's how I ended up on my first choice, which was design and I didn't take my year off. I am already in the second year of my career and the truth is that it has surprised me for good, I like it a lot, the atmosphere is pleasant and I have met very nice people.

Who Am I

Hello, my name is Noelia Poblete, I'm an 18 year old college student, my birthday is May 20 and I'm from Chile, Recoleta.

I'm a taurus who likes to draw, embroider, paint, knit, watch anime and listen to music (this is my favorite activity actually), I love to play Free fire with friends and my favorite color is burgundy, I love improvised panoramas and eating French fries. In the future I dream of living on the beach.

One of the great attributes of my personality is that I am quite scattered and distracted and many times I seem to be "in the moon". I am the youngest of 5 siblings, my parents are pretty close to 60 years old and I have a cute 4 year old dog named Akira.

I have always lived in Recoleta, a commune with a lot of elderly people with few green areas and very bad sidewalks, but I like it anyway, I think it is quite quiet as far as possible and I have everything close, the subway, bus stops, the supermarket, and even downtown is about 20 minutes or less by subway. I think it is quite comfortable to live here.
