Francisco Ortega is a really good example for me.

I`m pretty sure that he is not the best journalist of Chile, or the most famous one, but he is an important reference to me. He, actually, was born in the same town than me (Victoria, IX region), so that fact give me a lot of hope in my future.

I like his work as journalist `cause he has done what I want to do in the future, and that`s working on a lot of media and not to type-cast in one particular job.

He also has writing and publishing a couple of novels, and I really desire to write and publish a few of my own.

He thirty-something and he has work in a lot of places: Zona de Contacto, Wiken, Revista de Libros, Virtualia, Capital, La Tercera, Rolling Stone, Vive y Muy Interesante (and he was director of the last ones).

He has writing two novels: "60 kilómetros" (1995) y "El núméro Kaifman" (2006).

He`s also a really good blogger, and you can find all of his posts at: http://www.fortegaverso.blogspot.com/

I decided to study journalism when I was seventeen years old, but I had some difficulties on the way. For many reasons, since I took that decition, I changed my mind and I told everybody I wanted to enter in a law school. And I did it. The 2006 I started to study law in the University of Concepción. But thank God I leave that career after a year of been there.

I like journalism because it allows me to develope my writing skills. I love to write, and I enjoy to communicate myself through writing words. My favourites subjects, by the way, are literature and cinema. But I also like to record radio programs and record videos with my camera, so that`s why I think this is the perfect career for me.

In the future, journalists will need many cibernetic tools and skills. Internet and tecnologics devices will be very important to develope this career, as we can see in theese days.

Now that I`m here, I`m not regret. This is my vocation.

This is an image of the Chaiten volcano, and I took it the last summer. It was absolutly exciting to be there, so close. It was actually a dangerous thing to do, but my parents, my sister and I wanted to go so badly and we were really carefull.Well, as you can realize, we survived, fortunately.

We were in Chaiten city just for two days this last february, and we spent the night in an hotel, the only one which was opened. The city was almost empty, and the streets were covered with ashes. The desolation was overwhelming.

This picture is really one of my favorite of that trip because it represents how far we can get together, as a family. We took care of each other and we felt closer after that holiday.

My parents gave it to me when I was eighteen years old. It was a really special gift `cause I had been waiting for it since a long time. And, I have to say it, my Toshiba laptop changed my life. For real!

My old computer it was not a personal one. That PC was (and still is, because it belongs to my mother now) a desktop one, and I couldn`t move it anywhere. It was (and still is) in my bedroom, in my house.

My Toshiba laptop, however, is great because I can go any place I want with it, it`s faster than the other one and it has so much more memory and softwares.

I can do everything I like on it. I can write, watch videos on YouTube, download a lot of music and, in general, surfing on the internet.

I really like my notebook! :)

I´ll be honest with you. I didn´t do this until the last day before deadline. I always do the same thing, so I think this confession says a lot about me. I´m not the kind of responsable person everyone think I am, but at least I´m honest... most of the time.

I like pizza, and chinese food. Well, McDonald´s too. Fast food, in general. And it´s so much better if I eat it with my friends, while we´re watching a movie or the last episode of Lost.

I rather silence than loud music.
I rather fiction than realistc literature.
I prefer coffee than tea.

Most of the time I can´t sleep at a decent hour, that´s why my eyebags. Everytime I run to get on time to my classes, which are at Universidad de Chile, where I study journalism, by the way.

I´m 21 years old. My dad is a cop, my mom is a desperate housewife, and my 12 years old sister wants to be a future detective.

I don´t like english, ´cause I don´t know anything about this language. I can´t speak it and I can´t write it.
I like sarcasm too.

:)

I´m in a lab now, but I´m not doing any experiment.
