The best boring movie ever!

I really hate aliens...

The last weekend I reunited with my older cousin, Mauricio and my brother David to watch a movie that in their words was “the best movie of the year”. We bought a lot of food and started to watch at 2AM. The movie was: Prometheus, a science fiction movie with a lot of action and adventure.

Well the movie was about a space ship with people who was research a planet inhabited by big blue human’s aliens… I don’t know… They were fascinated with the film but I just wondering when it ends… First of all I don knew any actor and the story was complete boring for me and the story was very unattractive. I don’t care anything about aliens and gigantic worms in the space! Oh Men’s… Later I understood that this movie was one begging of the alien’s movie (I had never see that film, and I never will hahaha) Anyway It was a very interesting movie.

However I must say that enjoyed a lot the movie because I laughed of the aliens and androids and the talking head that appeared in the film, but more than anything I enjoy spend time with my cousin and brother in our house. We finished to watch it almost at 4 of the morning and began to play in the Xbox ahaha =)

Crazy Day

I always believed that these political issues are very important and it should be interesting for as because the implications in all areas of our lives.

However I think that the fact to vote or not is not so important like the work that every person make day by day. I realize that the fact to not vote is a position fronts our political system. Since the last year we cut see how the people was not conforming  whit the government, but more than anything people was tired of the same system that make inequality every day.

In a first time I thought in not vote but in my family is a very important event where we say how we want to see our country, city, etc… But for me a student march or protest in a public place say more than a single day of election.

Well, nobody expect elections like this. First to all I want to say how happy I was when I saw in the TV the faces and expressions of the government minister when they realized that people did not approved his work and ideas.. ahaha

The fact that so many people did not vote I think that responds to the discontent of the people and the search of another alternative… I hope it comes soon 

The greatest Chilean of all time!

The singer of the people

Is not easy choose one Chilean to remember… but in this opportunity I would like to write about one of my favorites. Víctor Jara.  He was born on September 28 in San Ignacio. He was the son of farmer parents and had 4 brothers.

Victor Jara studied acting at the Drama School of the University of Chile, and was a musician, songwriter, teacher and theater director. He was militant in the Community Party and a leader of the protest song. He made ​​many contributions to the Chilean culture. Throughout his life he worked like director and composer, and during the government of Salvador Allende, Jara worked as Cultural Ambassador

The most remarkable  of his character was the link that he made withtheir peers, with his people. Her singing was not only for him but for young people, children and the poorest.

After the putsch in 1973 Víctor Jara was arrested and tortured by the special forces of Chile. He died on September 16, but his artistic legacy lives on. He certainly was an icon of Chilean music and a living testimony to the popular artistic creation.

His songs have traveled the world and today thousands of young people sing and live his music every day.

Here I give you one of his most beautiful and famous songs, is unquestionably a symbol of unity, tolerance and solidarity.

Practice Time!

In this activity I could put my skills in practice, I followed instructions and resolve questions of reading comprehension. The activity consisted of several items.

First it was a selection of about 50 sentences in English that I had to be completed properly. In another item of "reading comprehension", I read a text and then I choose the most appropriate response. At the same time this activity allowed to me to identify verbs and words unknown, so I could increase my vocabulary. There was another item: "listening". I heard conversations and interviews, and then answer multiple-choice questions about that.

For me, the hardest part is reading comprehension, because the alternatives presented were very similarities so... It was difficult to discriminate, in fact, several times I had to look a dictionary and the verb list available on the blog. On the other hand I think the easiest part was to "listening" because the dialogue of the players was pronounced correctly and also there was the option of repeating the recordings.

Well, I think it was a good activity because it allowed evaluate me in many ways, and it was something different to what we always do on the block ... I hope to have better results next time.

My Singer Friend

2009...

I think I will never forget one of my most loved gifts. It was when I was 21 years old; I was spending the weekend alone away from my family because I had to study for my final exams. Fortunately one of my closest and dearest friends at the time stayed with me to study.

When were the twelve o'clock, he took from "I do not know where" a chocolate cake and sang to me “Happy Birthday”. I was very sensitive, so I cried a little.

The next day, in the afternoon, my friend invited an ice cream at a little place in the center; I walked down a hallway and through the door… All my college friends were there, singing and laughing. We ate cake and we had a nice time.

When we (my friend and me) got home, he gave me his gift. It was a CD with my favorite songs sung by him. He used his guitar and his beautiful voice to record ten of my favorite songs. I cried even more, lol…

I still have your gift, but I don't hear it long time ago, I think that is because it makes me sad to think that we are no longer friends. But I still love him and remember always.

A Beautiful Campus

Lalalalalalalalá ...

When I go to the University for the first time I was very nervous and scared because it was the first time that I was far away of my parents, but at the same time I was happy to know new people.

When I came to Santiago to study Psychology I had a lot of expectation about the discipline and about the University. The first time that I visited the Campus I fell in love immediately, I liked all, the building, the gardens, the paintings in the walls, the people, everything. I remember that I was walking and next to me it was a group of students singing a song that al like to much, so… I took that like a good signal.

I don’t remember what the first class I had was, but I do remember very clearly the first class that I liked. It was a Social History class, all the class was together and one of the teachers in charge started to about the Chilean economic history (so boring I thought) but I laughed and learnt a lot.

I spoke with a lot of people in my first day, but I can remember what exactly I did. What I most remember that the first two month I knew so many people and I made friends that actually love so much. <3

September in the country!

Hello everyone, in this post I am going to tell you about my lovely holydays in the country with my family the last week. Well, is tradition in my family reunite with all the cousins (we are seven), aunts, uncles, and my grandmother and grandfather to celebrate and share in the holidays. During this week of relax me and my cousins prepared some activities and games to spend a good time together. We played a few volleyballs matches, dance cueca wearing the typical costume, played ping pong (I was the best of the woman’s haha) and we organized a travel in bike since our country house to the lake, I think that would be like a 30 kilometers. But the good of this holiday was not just the activities, also the foooooooood!!!! Is tradition too that my grandmother make a delicious empanadas (I help her), my father is in charge of the barbecue, etc. And my mission was to make the Chilean disserts: alfajores, mote con huesillos and empolvados. 

I really enjoyed this time out of Santiago, and out of the stress of the University, but especially I enjoyed spend time with my little cousin. His name is Nicolás, he has six years old and we are very close, he even call me “Nanita” because I am always with him and we play with the dogs, and play football or something like that ahaha. Well… I hope to can reunite with my family in the country house very very soon. =)
