Positive, negative and funny experiences of this world pandemic.

 HIIII FRIENDS,

This issue is very complex to address, knowing all that it has generated around the world. With my family we have tried to cope with this health crisis in the best way, trying not to go out unless it is very necessary, constant hand washing, always wearing a mask and an alcohol gel. 

We have not seen my family on my dad's side since the pandemic started, as they live in the south of Chile. And on mom's side very little, only in very necessary and punctual cases. 

My mother works in the health area, in a CESFAM in Puente Alto as an administrative, she always comes to take a bath, take off her shoes before entering the house and wash her work clothes. 

I think this has made us all be more cautious with hygiene, acquiring new and good habits. Nowadays it is very common to wear a mask and I find that it is beneficial for everyone, both in winter or when we are in very closed places, such as the subway. 

Now that I am more at home I have given myself the opportunity to do many things that I love and that I gave up doing when I went to college, such as baking, singing, playing with my dog and taking naps.

I don't think I have had any problems with my studies, as I am very organized and I like to learn. However, I like to talk and discuss the topics I am learning about and online I don't have those spontaneous instances. But also, it should be noted that the confinement at home has become complicated, since my study area, rest, leisure and food in the same, so I feel guilty while I rest having the desk next to me and with pending things. In addition, I have to take care of many things, since my mom works, I have a younger brother and pets, I have a very marked routine that sometimes tires, walking my dog, classes, cooking, tidying up, cleaning, studying, and the list goes on. I am aware that my mom arrives physically and psychologically tired, so I try to make sure she only comes to rest. 

I am optimistic about everything that is happening, I believe that we will be able to acquire these new habits in the best way and that soon we will all be vaccinated and always following the rules. 

I think there are many negative things to talk about what we are experiencing as a society, from confinement, unemployment, death of loved ones, not seeing family members, among many other things. 

But I can rescue some positive and fun things, like spending more time with my pet, being able to make myself a tea whenever I want (hahaha) and that my grandparents are using more the WhatsApp application, they send audios and very funny pictures. 

Love to all of you, I hope you are well with your family 💝

Favorite movie: THE JOKER

 Hello everyone!

Cinema is something that I love, since I was little with my family we have seen many movies (and series). At home we have a big collection of movies, of all styles. Now with Netflix my mom can't stop looking at the screen hahaha. 

The genres of movies I like the most are dramatic, suspense, psychological, children's and romance. I like movies that are interesting and make you get into the story. 

Today I will recommend you one of the movies that I really like lately, The Joker. It is suspenseful and psychological, you are very attentive until the end, where your doubts are answered. Very rarely happens to me that I see the movie more than once and this is one of them, I think I've seen it about 5 times. 

I went to the theater without much expectation, thinking it would be a movie of superheroes and villains. Besides, I hate clowns, so I was not convinced. But when I saw it, I realized that it was totally different from how I imagined it, it generated a lot of emotions, sorrow, anger and laughter. Joaquin Phoenix's performance is fantastic, it made my skin crawl like when I hear someone singing beautifully. 

Maybe many here have already seen it, but for those who haven't, I'll tell you what it's about. Arthur Fleck is a mentally ill person who works as a clown, but he is not doing very well. Within his imbalances he foments a rebellion against the rich of the gothic city. 

I found it very interesting how mental illness is presented in an individualistic city, how they stigmatize them and the little importance they give to these issues. 

I hope you will see this film nominated for several categories at the Oscars, Golden Globes, Grammy Awards, among others. And of course, watch it in English! (Joaquin Phoenix worked more than 3 months on the voice and laughter of his character).

Kind regards, 

And why so serious?
