This TV show is a competition show where win the best drag queen of United Stated (drag queen is a art, I mean mens is dress up in woman). This show is on Netflix but the official channel is Logo TV of United Stated. This TV show have 11 seasons but my favorite season is the number 9 because is very funny and the winner of that season is my favorite drag queen, she is Sasha Velour.

I really love this TV show because is fun, is interesting and also the girls tell stories about their experiencia when they started to make drag and the ultimate, I really love watching the catwalks and runways!

My Best Friend

I don't believe in best friends because I thinks it is a big word and any of my friend really are what I except for my friend. Anyway, my closest friend is Karin. She is my friend since 9 years ago. I met her at school when We were in 6th grade. We became in friends when We were in 8th grade because she became in course president and I became in course treasurer and we should work together. After that We get closer more because We were the same taste of the thing and We laughed a lot of our jokes. I really consider my closest friend her because We joined a lot to organize things for our couse, the lastest courses. Now we were still in touch because We study at different universities and besides I know her family and she know my family. I have always remembered the times when We get drunk in different parties, in her house, in my house and also the school (a little joke) hahaha. Also I remember when We were go to cinema and We're screaming because We watched horror mo...

The best concert ever

I've seen a lot of concert, it is something that it is very exciting to me because it is so wonderful, it is a great experience. So, the best concert ever has been 'Latinoamericana' of Alex Anwandter. It was in 2018, I don't remember the specific date but it was last year. I went with my friend of University and this concert was in the Caupolican place. 'Latinoamericana' is the original name of the last album released by Alex Anwandter, a Chilean musician who is very famous for the college students because his lyrics is about the power of the teenager and how they can make a change. This last album is about alternative music when he brings us a lot of instrument of Latin America so the rhythms were very amazing. A great memory of that day is when Javiera Mena and Gepe appeared in the concert and I was shocked because I love Javiera Mena and she with Gepe sang 'Tatuaje', the most famous song of Alex. And there is more, also Miranda  appeared , a famou...

A Country I would like to visit

Hi! Be honest. China, at all. Since I was young, I promised to my mom take her to China because she really like it culture and I think I could make her dream come true. And, I'll be honest with you, I also want to know China because it culture and lenguage are very interesting. Actually I don't know nothing about China, at all, but this is the thing that I like, the curious about this country. The most curious thing is the lenguage because I think is very hard but probably must be funny. I really really like to do in China is taste new food and knows some of new asian recipes. It's must be funny, I guest. I really like eat and taste new food, it's a hobby for me and my mom. If I could live to there or make exchange in other University of couse I will but without my mom because I think she would feel uncomfortable and she would miss Chile. I know her.

A photograph and its story

It is not a older typical photography. It is my adolescence (now I’m still adolescent), but it is a good memory. Me and my friend Karin, both in the break waiting the days for her birthday party. Since always I’ve treasured my friendship, above all things and this photo reflect many thing. Us in our stupidities, waiting for the time to dance, get drunk and laugh at her birthday party, but always together. This picture was taken out my big brother and we were “adoring” the mural was reflect the joy to the party and the alcohol. This photography was taken out in 2016, my last year in the secondary, where I should save the last memories of that place. Happiness is the word that summarized the picture, that is all. A nice memory that someones it could be trivial but isn’t. Simple is so much better and I treasure. If I could comeback I would it happy, obviously. There are thing that marked my life and if I can do that again I would be happy. PS: With my friend we like...

What is your favourite piece of technology?

During my life, cellphones have been my favorite piece of technology, but I´ve always wanted to not be dependent on them because I know I can become addicted to them. But I think my favorite piece of technology in this case is the TV because I watch TV series a lot and a I love it. I can watch TV series during 4 hours without any distraction. I use the TV when I wake up to watch the weather. I also watch TV when I have lunch and dinner. But at night, I watch TV a lot and I fall asleep after 12 o’clock. I like watching TV because although it is very bad for my eyes and my mind. It is a good for broadcasting breaking news, and also culture, entertainment, sport, etc. It is a hobby for me. Now, I think maybe life without TV could be so much better. I know that it is so contradictory what I've been writing about, but reading a book can make us smarter.
