the last post: goodbye


It was the first time that I had a blog, I had thought to do it, but I haven’t initiative; when the teacher said about a blog, I really felt that this would be bored, because I thought that we should write about the career all the weeks, however we write of different topics and this I like it.
I like talk, write, listen about those topics kwon as trivial, but they are fundamental for complement us, such as the music, our favorite films, the people which inspire us, for the common people this topics are banal, but they show part of the essence everyone, maybe for this reason I liked to write in the blog, to know my classmate’s likes and they know my preference, although for me this was complicated, because the English, its structure is hard for me, in addition create the ideas cost me until Spanish =P .
This blog helped me with my English, because it made me think, read and write in English. Also I had to search words that I didn’t know so my vocabulary increased. I believe that think in English is the part that help me more to improvise a conversation because now I can translate my ideas of Spanish to English a little faster. In addition write and read my preferences and experiences in another language helps me to realize how to use English well and improve my grammar, so I can write better and I can be more sure of what I’m saying and how I’m saying it.
So that is why I believe that this is a very good activity for the class, because is a tool that really help us in our knowledge of English.
Another thing is that we can use it latter for everything that we want, how I plan to do it, sometimes I’ll write in English others in Spanish; I like the blog’s world, it returned my old pastime of express my thinking and dreams.

Regards!

the football world


Football, always the same topic, personally I dislike this sport, well, I dislike to see and listen about it, but sometimes, I play “pichanga” with my friends (once a year).
In my opinion the football is very boring, 90 minutes running behind a ball… really I dislike it, besides it is offensive that this people earn so much money, when other people working very much in all their life and don’t earn not even a year of salary of a football player.
Other reason is that for the football, in Chile other sports are ignored and who plays them don’t have subvention and they should sacrifice many things for improve in their area, such as somebody should go to live others countries and pay a trainer and implements, among many others reason.
However I can’t deny that the football has some social benefit, as the happiness that it causes in the people that like it, besides it is a god activity physic and a excellent distracter when the life of peoples monotonous, as well the football foster the comradeship and it is a good moment for share, but the most important contribute of football is that help to the social intervention with poor people and improve their quality life.
Now is the football’s month for the FIFA world cup in South Africa; in all sides I listened to talk about it, but although the football bores me, I’m happy because I see many cheer people and in spite I dislike, I want that Chile win the cup...

My dear Mp4


Technology is better!!
Since I was kid that I like all kind of technology… I remember when I was 7 years old; I learnt to use the computer alone, later, I taught to teacher to use the computer (I’m a crack hahaha).
Do you remember the first Nokia cellphone? “The brick”, my brother had it; I ever played “the snake”, he was angry, but my face of good kid calmed him…
My life ever been unit with the technology: computer, cellphone, notebook, PS2, camera, among others; however, now the most important is my Mp4... I gave myself (in 12 installments with my Ripley credit card… I’m paying still xD), I gave the Mp4 after Christmas (when the offers start), I always use it, in the morning when I trip the train, when I walk alone, when I want to think, etcetera; any moment is good for to use the Mp4 and escape of the world.
I like Mp4 because I can play films, music, photos; it has high definition, it’s comfortable to transport and the most important is it give me entertainment. I don’t need other things if I have my Mp4 for kill time; moreover as I like to sing (though I’m a bad singer) the Mp4 is a perfect allied for my hobby, without it the hours would be eternals.

A film for believe in yourself


I don't remember which my favorite film is, it usually happens to me that I forget my preference and I get confused when I have to choose one or other; so I’ll write about the last film that I saw that I liked: “p.s.: I love you”, I know it is very twee, but the topic is the best, It’s a little sad, but also it shows how important it’s to believe in myself again and to start to live again.
The film through humor develops a complicated subject such as the death of the person you love most.
“P.s.: I love you” (based on the book by Cecelia Ahern) by Richard LaGravenese and starring Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler is a film where a happy couple tries to build their life together in spite of some problems. However Gerry (Gerard) die, it cause to Holly (Hilary) fall in a state of depression, she ever remember him, but hers birthday she receive a posthumous letter by Gerry, this cause a change in the life of Holly, she little by little begin to give meaning hers life again. She begins to achieve hers dreams, thank of letter by Gerry: she begin to know in herself.
A beautiful film that transcends the love, that's why “p.s.: I love you” is my favorite film.

the Mandiba to president Mandela...


Anybody is able to think different, but not anybody carry out your philosophy… Nelson Mandela fought against to apartheid, legal racial segregation that dominated South Africa. Mandela was the figure most representative of this fight.
Mandela is for me the men that embody the force against to discrimination and segregation of people, whether it is for your physical, thought, preference, etc. other reason because I admire to Mandela is his capacity of mediator, in spite of all that he suffered, between white people and black people, searching the reconciliation in a country divided, he wanted to attain the peace, this leads him to receive more than 250 awards, most important the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize, maybe a little funny if we thinking that Mandela was considerate a terrorist for ONU and regime South African in the sixties.
Mandela is a role model for the human race for all his qualities, qualities that it was recognize in 1994, year that he was elect President of South Africa.
Mandela is an icon of the liberty, equality and acceptance.
Madiba (as he is known in South Africa) deserves to be remembered for the contribution that he did for the humanity.

A song to listen

The music is the most beautiful pastimes; it leads us to all kind of the feelings. There are many kinds of music, for everyone’s tastes, but I prefer the romantic music, pop music (British, American and Latin-American) and Chilean rock, however, I listen to other music styles, such as symphonic metal, folk, soul, electronic, among others.

The music is the source of my inspiration, as I need a motivation I listen to music; in fact the name of my blog was born from the song that I always listen to.

Since I was a child the music has been part of me, I always listened to the radio at the same time on the “FM2”, to listen to my favorite songs, later, when I bought my computer I began to listen to other groups, the most important was “La Oreja de Van Gogh”, when I was 13 years old.

My favorite groups are Motel (rock pop), La Oreja de Van Gogh (pop), Within Temptation (symphonic metal), De Saloon (Chilean rock), Los Bunkers (Chilean rock), Lucybell (Chilean rock), Jessy and Joy (pop rock). And my favorite singers are James Morrison (pop), James Blunt (romantic / folk) Shakira (pop) and Beto Cuevas (pop rock).

The video is of my favorite song of the group Motel, I hope you like.



See you!!

Earthquake =O

Hello my readers, I go to tell my experience in the earthquake:

The day of the earthquake I was with my friends, we were playing "nervioso" (a card game) when the earthquake began. We saw the house and the trees moving as if they were dolls.

When the earthquake finished we remained together all night long, while I tried to call my parents to by cell phone.

In the morning there wasn't transport, my friend decided to drive his car up to my home, but the car couldn't finish the trip, because the highway was cut; besides an overroad had fallen on the way.

I had to walk while I observed the different constructions that didn't resist the earthquake, this struck me, the countryside wasn't the same; I began to walk fast more to get home.

When I saw my family was fine I relaxed.

My mother and I cleaned the house all day, because many things were broken.

We were without light, water, telephone and internet for about a week.
