My last post

Hello everyone!, Today is my last post :(... finally the end of the year is coming wujuuu!! and the vacations are near!!.
Well... the last weeks have been very stressful and I'm really tired ... :(, but this is university life jaja.
This is my last post and today i'm going to talk about the english language challenges.
This subject, in general I like, but that I do not like is class schedule because I get home late and really tired, in addition, the most of wednesday I have to get to study. Despite this I think this class it's very interactive and motivating. The use of blog is an instance very entertaining, is something like "El blog de la Feña", but has more content. The use of blog, of my point of view is like a diary, which serves for exercising everyday use of English.
I think I need to improved in my English is the pronunciation and conversation, because when I talk with somebody, understand what he means, but it's hard for me to answer, because I'm embarrassed. For to improve this the only thing that I have to do is talk, talk all day, with friends, talk alone, etc.
Outside the English class, the truth, is I don't use much my English, the only things I do is listen to songs in English and watch movies in English without subtitles, but I'm tired and I put subtitles again. Ah!, another thing that I try to do is read in English like books, magazines and journals.
Well, That's it all for this semester, It was a pleasure !!!
Bye...

2014

Hello everyone!! Today I am sickL, but well…this is the life.

I hope you are well and you having force for the rest of semester, because the end is near and the worst is coming.

Today I´m going to talk about this year 2014, year that comes to an end… well, lack bit, only two months!!!

The truth, this year has been a little complicated, because first, I have a lot of sick especially of stomach, and that made me lose a lot of weight and secondly, the university has been very heavy so for that I lost a valuable time for can to do other things. However I consider, that these things to happen to me, make me more stronger, because the life is not easy.

Despite this I think there were other good things, like that have a good relationship with my boyfriend, he has been with me at all times, I have a close relationship with my family, My friends have been very supportive and all these things were very important to survive in this difficult year.

My achievements in this year are I have been passing all subjects in the first semester, I learned to cook cupcakes and I've been consistent in sports even though I had to do for college a lot of things.

Well in this year I feel that I not had a enough time for me, for my family, friends or boyfriend, I feel that even though I try to spend as much time with them, still not enough.

 Missing a month away for vacations, first: I hope I pass all my classes and after that I hope to get a job and to save money to travel in the summer.

I would like to say though that has been a difficult year for me; there are always good things to remember, because the life is now.

Will see you!

Money

Hello everybody today I'm going to talk about money. The truth is that money is important for me, at least more important than I would, because money is useful for many things, but is not the most important! The most important of my point of view is love because I the love makes the world go or at least it should be.

I spend my money in a lot of things, I’m a shopaholic! Well not so extreme, but for example I spend the money in food, I love food! And of course eat. I love sushi and French fries, also I like to buy cosmetics and especially nail polish, I have many also but in fewer amounts I like to buy clothes.

The truth is I'm a good manager of my money and always saving, so that I never lack money, but the truth is that my life is not luxurious obviously I like to give my tastes, but not in excess.

Mmmmm if I were a millionaire … my life would be very different… I could do many things, for example pay all debts of my parents, I would pay the university credit of my brother and etc. I invest my money in property to not have to work again for obligation.

Well the truth is that I don’t know really what meaning pawn, but never I pawn anything, because I don’t like this things, I don’t know … not give me confidence.

Well that's it, see you !!

How green I am? . . . :(

Hello everybody!

Today I'm going to talk about how green I'm am. 

The truth is that I'm not very green, but at least I make an effort. In the school I didn't learnt much

about environmentally friendly practices, so I have learnt about this topic in TV, newspapers, magazines, social networks or in the real life with friends, but in general my knowledge about this theme is not very extensive. 

How I said above I'm not very green, so I don't have incorporated recycling habits.

If I had my way I would walk everywhere, because I love walk, but this is not my reality, because university is far from my house, so neither I can use my bike. This is sad, because use Transantiago or subway in the morning are a disaster, is awkward, is full and people is aggressive, which is understandable by the circumstances of the situation.

I haven't joined any eco-organization principally because I don't have time and in my free time I prefer to do other things like rest, hanging out with my friends or share with my family.
I would like to do much more things because I feel that my contribution is not much, only I do things like care water, care light, not throw away in the streets or parks, I prefer use my bike, things this type.
The things that I do to reduce my carbon footprint are not much, but for example in my house use florescent lights, I charge my cell phone with solar energy, I don't eat red meat and I try to use bike when I can.
In Santiago or in society miss education about this theme, because the education is the basis of all.
This is all ... bye

A piece of News

Hello everybody. It's a hot day and the last Wednesday was so cold!, who understands the spring?... nobody knows. Well today I have to talk about a piece of news that I have recently heard.

I'm to refer about oil spill in Quintero bay, this is a new very sad for me, because all my life I vacationed there, in fact my parents met there. 

The incident occurred the last Wednesday when a ship spilled 3,000 liters approximately (that authorities say) of oil tanker in the area.

Although the incident had been classified as controlled by the authorities, this was only the beginning, because the spill came to Horcón, Ventanas, Loncura and El Manzano.

A new pollution problem affecting this area and from my point of view this is unacceptable, because this situation adds to the serious environmental problem that affects the area for more than 20 years, especially the release of toxic materials from mining industries, which have already generated several protests by artisanal fishermen.

People who live there know what this contaminated site, but can not do anything, because everything is about money or power.

Well, all this makes me rage and impotence, because, how I said, Quintero is like my second home and environmental damage is too big, because are years about the same and all beaches of this area are so contaminated.

The truth is that I don't like much see news, I think is trash, because they not show the true, but if I would see news I would like to show the truth.

Well that i'ts all, well see you!.

My future job

Hello everybody, today again is a cold day despite that where in spring.

I'm studying Psychology and is my second year. When I finished the school, the next year I started to study Architecture, but I don't like. I don't like anything that these career, in fact I don't know  what I choose that career. Well, after one semester there, I retired. Then this episode I don't knew what study, but only knew was I wanted helped the people, I wanted be useful for the other persons. In this time I wanted changed the world with my job... yes, I was a little bit idealistic. And for that I went to study Psychology for can help the people. Today I think totally different, but that is other history. When I began to study Psychology I like Clinical Psychology, but now I don't know, because I don't know much about the other areas of psychology, so I have wait for the next year for met the other areas, but for now, I like Clinical area or Educational area.

In the future I would like a job that is in contact with other, in preference with kids or adolescents. I would like job in hospital, medical center or in school, I don't know, but that are my preferences for now. 

The aspects I consider when I choosing a job are that it is not far from my house (I hope), because I hate the subway in peak time and if I can not walk I prefer take the Transantiago. Well this is the principal aspect to consider, but also I would like pleasant environment.

My strengths are that I am punctual, responsible and committed with the things to do and my weaknesses is that I am so obsessive,  which sometimes is not good.

Well that i'ts all

Bye!!! 

 

My best friend

Hi everybody!
How you are? I hope you are fine :), as for me, I'm on vacations since today, waiting the saturday for to go to the beach.
Well, my best friend in the life is Dina Varela and we were schoolmates.
We met in the school, in kindergarten in 1999 and we finish the school in the same course in 2011.
With Dina we've been friends 15 years and as every friendship with highs and lows.
I consider her my best friend because she is always with me and despite the problems we had, friendship has continued.I can't say what is the best memory, because we have a lot of stories together. Also, with her I shared part of my childhood and all adolescence, she was with me when: I gave my first kiss, when we went to our first party, when when I smoked and drank first time, when I suffered for love and and many other occasions.

Today, with Dina we not see much because we not go in the same school, but at least, every Friday we see, because we have common activities in our ex school.

Well, that its all, we see after holidays!!

Bye

Los Autenticos Decadentes

Hi everybody!, today is a very cold day again…

Well… the truth is that I don’t go to concert frequently, because not call me attention. But this year I went to see Los Autenticos Decadentes.

The concert was in June, in Club Chocolate. How I said, I don’t like much concert, but this time a friend of mine, invited me and I don’t say no.  The truth is that I had a great time and I sang all songs.

Los Autenticos Decandentes are an argentine band. Their most famous song are “La Guitarra”, “El Murguero” , “Como me voy a olvidar” in others, but my favorite song is Loco (tu forma de ser), is a beautiful song and I like so much, because make me feel a lot of things.

I like this band because I think are very funny and you can dance whit their songs and have a great time with anyone you are, either your mom, your boyfriend, your friends, etc.

Well that is all, I don’t have much to say because I don’t go to concert very often.

Bye!! 

Here goes my favorite song...

My favorite movie

Hello everyone!!. Today is very cold, is like for stay in bed.

Today I'm going to talk about my favorite movie... the truth is I dont have it, because, in general I like so much see movies, for that is difficult for me choose one, but today i'm going to talk about "Across the Universe".

In this movie act Jim Sturgess as Jude and Evan Rachel Wood as Lucy. Both perform the lead roles. He as a english young and she as a american girl.

Across the Universe is an American musical film, based on the 60's and centered on songs by The Beatles (My favorite band)

The film start when Jude, a young worker from Liverpool, enlist in the Merchant Navy and travel to New Jersey, hoping to find his American dad, who was he never met. 

At the same time Lucy waits her boyfriend, that who is headed for service in the Vietnam War. Time after, Jude meet his father, but all results bad and the boyfriend of Lucy died in war. Finally, a lots of thing happen and they are know and start dating. In the course of film happen different things, but despite all they finish together. 

My explanation about the film is very simple. I dont tell all movie, because yours have to see it !!.

The film takes place in USA in the contex the Vietnam War, and can see protest, drugs and hippie culture.

The truth is I dont have favorite part...mmmm, although thinking well, I like the parts when they sing, because I feel, like in other age is like if I teletransport with the lyrics of songs, and for that I like much this movie. I think the most important are the songs and how makes you feel.  

The film I like as this, so I dont change anything, because for me is perfect :)

I would like...

Hello everybody!
The country I would like to visit is England, because for me is really interesting. There are many museums, parks and cultural places.
England is a diverse and exciting city with some of the world's best sights, attractions and activities. 
I know about England is that is the land of The Beatles, my favourite musical group and Harry Potter.  In addition England have a great variety of landscapes, great storybook architecture and great traditions and eccentricities, that I like to know.
When go to England I would like to visit Liverpool, go to the Big Ben and London Eye and furthermore I would like go to the Walk of Harry Potter in London.

I would like study in England because:
First, the accent. British people have a nice accent, is really cute.
Second, great entertainment and theaters.
Third, free museums.
In general, I would like to visit England, but I don't like live there, because I would miss my family and friends, so for that I would like to study there, because i'ts not forever.
