A New Beginning... Remembering 2017


Personally the last year was a year full of contrasts, with good moments and bad moments as well, these year marked my coming back to my Architecture studies after two years of standby, the reason for this was because I was training and preparing my chances to qualify for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, unfortunatedly I didn't made it, but I made a plan B in case of. finally I've worked as volunteer at the Games and also I carried the Olympic Torch, being the fifth chilean ever to have these honour.

Coming back to 2017 the first semester was a fabulous semester I've approved all the subjects and I had very good references for the next semester. but I didn't expected that the worst has yet to come.

My best moment of 2017 was in October, that's because I'm a fan of the Vexillology (Study of the Flags) with some partners we made at October 15th an intervention with our flag collection at the Park of the Scuptures, at the northern shore of the Mapocho river, was very funny and so many people came to see our intervention, two weeks after we signed the officialization of the National Vexillological Corporation of Chile, one of my biggest  achivements of the last year for me :)

Family Olympic Games

I have a very close relationship with the family branch from my mom, specially my cousins, in 2007 we had a lot of though moments with the death of several of my great uncles and  my mom had the idea of a great family reunion one month later after that, the reunion was a big success and made our family more closer, so then I had a idea but in another way, create a Family Olympic Games in the next year at our national holidays (September 18th and 19th) in the terrains of my family at Paine, following the Beijing Olympic Games. At first these idea didn't have a good reception but normally I don't give up easily and I've convinced all my family to try and they're support the idea, at September 18th we opened a new family tradition, those games had only three competitions, doesn't had a flame and medals yet but was a success and my family enjoyed it. Originally the plan was make the games each year but in 2009 we had a lot of problems with logistics and we didn...

The Archery is my favourite sport, I had the honor to represent Chile in 13 times, 10 of them outside Chile, and 4 of  the 10 mentioned was Stages of the Archery World Cup (Ogden, USA (1 Time), Antalya, Turkey (1 Time), Medellín Colombia (2 Times), the most important achievement as archer was the Bronze medal at the 2014 Santiago South American Games, as you can see the Archery in one of my passions.

There in the Internet we have a lot of websites related to our program like Archdaily, but my favourite is http://www.skyscrapercity.com/ This website was created in September of 2002 and counts with +900.000 users around the world. It's a forum where the people can talk about skyscrapers, urbanistic and other projects or updates for buidings under construction. The site are distributed in various forums (nearby one million)(98 million of posts) divided in themes and cathegories, as Sport and Stadiums (my favourite), Infraestrucutre in Mobility, talks about the cities and it's urban scheme. The forum where I'm involved for the moment it's related about Stadiums and Sport Arenas, there I can find the uptates of construction for the future Olympic Games and the process from it's approval until the construction it's finished and their doors are opened, now I visit the site every day to check the stage of construction of the New Tokyo National Stadium...
