This photo is from when I was playing with my ex-band at the velodrome of the national stadium and it has a very important meaning for me because it brings back memories of this event that was held for the benefit of the victims of eye trauma during the 2019 demonstrations. As for what this photograph evokes me, I would say that it is a mixture of feelings, since on the one hand having participated in this event was a good experience in which as a band we were able to share with other musicians, play for thousands of people and contribute our grain of sand to support a cause through art, although on the other hand a feeling of anger and pain also seize me when I remember the situation that existed at that time in the country, in which many people suffered damage to their physical integrity due to the fact of being in the streets demanding a more dignified life, something that could have happened to any of us who attended the marches and it is to be hoped that it will not happen again.

 I would say that there are several foods that I like a lot, but if I had to choose only one, I would choose the grilled pippin with french fries. To be honest, I'm really not sure why this is my favorite food, but I think maybe it is because I unconsciously relate it to my childhood when I went on vacation to the beach with my family and whenever we went to a restaurant I would eat that dish, so I think I associate it with good memories. Regarding the health contributions of this meal, although fish is a very good food that provides us with a large amount of proteins, B-complex vitamins and minerals, unfortunately it cannot be said that french fries are a healthy food, so it would be best not to eat this dish so often, to avoid problems, or it can also be to change the fries for salad or rice and enjoy a healthy and delicious meal.

There are many technological gadgets that are really useful in everyday life, however, I would say that my favorite piece of technology is my audio interface. If you wonder, what is that? well, it is basically a machine that allows us to translate the signal of some instrumentes (piano, guitar, microphone, etc) into a signal that a PC understand. I bought my audio interface when I was in third year of high school, because I wanted to record some songs with my band in a more professional way, and finally it turned out to be a very good acquisition, as I discovered that in addition to recording I could download certain programs on my PC that contained many guitar amp and effect emulators, so I also use my interface to practice and discover new sounds. In short, this is as piece of  technology that, although not essential in my life, has been very useful for me to improve as a musician and to carry out certain projects.

 When I was a child, the truth is that I was not clear about the profession that I would like to have when I grew up. I remember that every week I said that I wanted to be something different, but the professions that I said most frequently were football player, airplane pilot and veterinarian. When I was in seventh grade I formed my first musical band and due of that experience I set a goal to study Music Composition in order to become a professional musician, but for things in life I finally put that dream aside and went to study "Ingeniería Comercial" at the Universidad de Chile, but I realized that it was not what I wanted to dedicate the rest of my life, so after to analyzing several options, I decided to study Dentistry, because it is a career that has many things that I consider important and that attract me, as it is a profession in which I can help people in a direct way to regain a part of their health, in which I also have the possibility of working independently a...

 Hello, my name is Felipe, I was born in the city of Santiago and I have lived here all my life. I'm currently in the second year of a career in Dentistry at the Universidad de Chile. As for what I like to do in my spare time, I can tell you that I really enjoy playing guitar or bass, whether it's improvising, playing songs or composing when inspired. Another thing I like to do in my free time is practice sport, the truth is that I enjoy practicing almost any sport, although if I had to choose my favorites, these would undoubtldly be football, tennis and running. About my family, it can be said that it is quite small, since I only have two grandmothers, my paternal grandfather, three aunts, two uncles and four cousins. As for my home, I live with my parents, my younger brother and my dog.
