A book
Since I was a kid I am always reading a book. When I was kid I read a lot of fantasy and science fiction; I read "Fundación" of Isaac Asimov, The Hobbit, some of Ray Bradbury, etc. Then, I read a lot of drama and others realist novels. A year ago, I wanted to read unknown novels, not the classic authors, and I found the book that I want to talk about: "Pubis y otras obsesiones" of Tito Matamala.
A realist novel with stories where love and desire take center stage. Mainly desire, but a desire that is more an obsession, an obsecene obsession. And the other side, love is not seen in the happy way, but in the other parth, in the lack of love, in the sadness, in the desire to want to do something, repairing things, and not be able to.
In one storie you see a teacher trying to seduce students. In others you see a man exchanging mail with a woman. In another to a man fan of Seinfeld. Among other goods stories.
I like this book for the narrative, for the form Tito Matamala describe the obsession of the main character. For the stories, some also have humor but that doesn´t take away the decadent atmosphere of the book.

I will talk about an artist that in my opinion deserves more recognition, Jorge Quien. He is an
illustrator, visual artist and Chilean comic artist.
I met him about three years ago, at the Museum of Fine Arts there was an exhibition about his comic called "Los Sofistas". I remember that I went through many rooms without finding a work that I loved and captivated, in fact there were many works that defied the definition of art to be so little thing. But, from the first moment I saw the exhibition of "Los Sofistas" I fell in love with the drawings and wanted to have the comic. At that time, I was working, so it did not cost me to raise money and I bought the comic.
"Los Sofistas" I loved it, it's an innovative story with innovative characters that come out of the ordinary; achieving demonstrates that Jorge has a great intellectual level.
I have seen some work that he has done and what I like most are his stories, the way he tells the stories and his illustrations.
He has a web page where he uploads some things about him, the truth has gone up very few things, but it is still worth visiting the page, so I leave it here: http://www.jorgequien.com/

I will talk about my friend Matías. I´ve known him since we were very young, since we lived very close; but at the moment we just greeted each other and talked very little. When i was five or six year old we started going out to play soccer in a park with other friends.
He is very funny and friendly; in addition, he always given me his support in everything I do, and he always listens to me.
We are known for doing certain things depending on our age. When we were kids we always played football, it was years when went out every week to play. When we were ten years old, we went out everyday to ride a bicycle. When we were twelve, we started to get together just to talk and we went to eat hot dogs. At fourteen we started playing videogames online, we spent all day playing, haha. Unfortunately, his computer started to fail and after that we just got together to talk. Over the years we have seen less and less because he has changed houses many times and each time he lives further away from me.
One of the funniest things was to ride bicycle with him, every time we went out he fell down. Well, the truth was falling in almost all the activities we did, even playing football, haha.
Currently we talk everyday for whatsapp, and also, from time to time I will visit him at home, but both because he lives far away, as for my studies and him work, we haven´t seem each other much these years.

A walk
My relatives have always been lazy to walk, so I do not keep memories of great walks with them. If I keep some memories of walks with my friends and now I will tell you one that was very funny.
It was on vacation a few years ago, we had gone to the cabins of a friend's grandfather, located in Pirque. Up to swimming pool had the grandfather. I went with six friends: Joaquín, Gabriel, Gerardo, Matías, Marcelo and Cristobal.
It was the second day of being in Pirque when we decided to climb a hill near the cabins. I only went with three friends (Gabriel, Marcelo and Cristobal) to the others I was too lazy to go for a walk.
The trip at first was difficult, we had to cross a small watercourse, then go through an area where there were many thorns (we were all injured, haha). Also the slope of the slope was very pronounced, so it cost us to climb the hill. Later we arrived at a field with many plantations, where there were only two houses, which had solar panels. There were also many horses and one of my friends is scared by what he constantly told us: And if they come to attack us (it was very funny). Near the field we took many fruits and we sat down to eat them, they were delicious. Then we came to the side of the hill where there was a small waterfall, it was very beautiful, and you could also see a hydroelectric from there. Finally, we continued walking for a long time, without knowing where we were going, and without wanting to, we arrived at the haha ​​cabins.
In this trip the places we visited were not very nice (only the small waterfall was), but with my friends we had a great time, it was very funny to see that four people without any ability to climb hills did, of course, with many complications, haha. And for that reason I would repeat it, to return to have fun with my friends walking with many difficulties.
