Future Special Profession

As I previously said, Im currently studying architecture at Universidad de Chile. In this entry I will tell you why this professon is special to me.

A few years ago I was not really sure about what to do with my life and being an architect wasn't in my mind, in highschool I wanted to be veterinarian, but almost in the end of the last year I realized that architecture is for me because I couldn't imagine me studying or doing anything else.
 I like it because it has a bit of everything, a mix of maths, physics, draw, art, phylosophy and history, also i've been always good with arts and crafts, since as a child (I like to sculpt and build things).
This is my third year in university and I've met a lot of amazing people and made good friends.

Being an architect gives you the chance to meet diferent people from other countrys, disciplines and cultures. I think and I believe that architects have the mission to build, design and make a better world for people. On the other hand you must expend a lot, A LOT of time designing and drawing, you will barely but everything will worth.

The Greatest Festival

I have been to a lot of concerts in my life, from big festivals to small concerts of unknown bands in my town. Last year, on September 27, I went to Santiago Gets Louder festival one of the most exciting experience in my life. The festival  brought together most of the national and internationl iconic Heavy metal and Alternative metal bands like Gojira, Lamb of God, Deftones, System of a Down and Faith No More. The event was on hangares Suricato in the Cerrillos ex-airport.

 

 The festival have an asistance of 40.000 people and more than 14 hours of live music.

 I didn't know too much about all of the bands at concert, personally I really wanted to see Deftones and System of a Down on stage.

System of a Down is an Armenian-American alternative metal. The band's currently members are Serj Tarkian, Daron Malakian, Shavo Odadjian and John Dolmayan. They came to America after a civil war in their country and this influence their topics on lyrics. Theirs style is often oblique anda dadaist, and their music have a lot of critic to society, politics, drugs and sexual intercourse.

Deftones its also an alternative metal band from USA that consist of Chino Moreno, Stephen Carpenter, Frank Delgado, Abe Cunningham and Sergio Vega. Deftones has a very unique style, sometimes their songs can be rude and agressive, and sometimes soft and slow with a very dark atmosphere.

On stage, that day Deftones was kind of lazy, their show was too short and they only played the slow songs in a speed and energic context of music, maybe that show was a "pause" to relax and take a breath in that place. On the other hand System of a Down gave everything they had on the stage, a great performance, great music, everybody was so excited and they could share all of his energy.

I didn't go alone to the festival, I went with one of my best friends, but at the moment that we enter to the enclosure there was so many people that we lost each other and we couldn't find each other until the end of the day :(

About Me

Hi, my name is Felipe Román I am 20 years old and I was born in Buin, Chile. Must of my childhood I lived in my grandparent's house. When i was 6  I moved to my mother's house and then when I was 9 I moved to my father's house. I attended various schools were I met a lot of great people, like my actually best friends. I finished High School at Colegio San Fernando in 2013. 

 In 2014 I started to study Architecture at Universidad de Chile, but also I would really like to study Design, Astronomy or Cinematography. In the beginning it was really hard to me, but with time I learned to love architecture.

When I'm not working on some project for university I am watching movies. I like Quentin Tarantino's movies because of his black mood, long dialogues and how he get the violence to fun situations. Also I like to sculpt things like Movie characters or videogames characters. When I was a child my grandmother used to buy me plasticine because it was cheap than toys. A few years ago I used to play the guitar in metalcore band, but I had to leave because of the tima  I spend studying.

 
I REALLY, REALLY REALLY love Star Wars,  its my favourite movies of all time, I think that is the major influence in my life. I love its philosophy, the special effects, and the background storys
