2010

The first term of 2010 was in general a good time. A lot of things happening to me…

I started a new carrera in this Faculty, in the begin I was very nervous and expectant, but in the develop of the days it was not so terrible, I kned nice people of the classmade and we became friends easily. The subjects were interesting and Iearnt new things , like philosophy and archeology. My favorite subjects was Mapudungun and Latin American social history because I learnt more about what is happening in our continent and make me grew up some thought about the worl. I hated biology because it was difficult for me, the tests were complicated so I had very low qualification and in the end of the semester I had to make an extra exams L.

I dedicated a lot of time to study , but in my free time I went to the cinema with my boyfriend, I went some wekends to my city home and I rested with my family, sometimes I went to parties whit friends and so for. In general I enjoyed a lot of this time. The most of the time I was at home, helped my grandmother and studied.

The first term of 2010 was in general a good time. A lot of things happening to me

topics I would like to write about :)

I wrote a blog in the third level of English course, it was a nice experience because we wrote topics about our favorite things like music, food and travel. I think that topics like that are interesting because we could to know more about ourselves.So I like the way to write about our favorite things or how we are in the daily life. But also I think that we would be writing our opinion about things that happen in the world; like problems in the countries with the economic, the politics, the poverty, the wars, or in a level more small about Chile and thing like the Mapuche conflict, the healthy in the public hospital , the education and so for. And May be we 'd make a small discussion or debate between the blogs.

My life as a blogger

My blogging experience was good, I hadn’t a blog before, so this was my first time as a blogger. I think that write a blog is nice, because it is a good and easy way for express your opinion, tell about the live or just say your feelings. It’ s also a quickly and masive form to be in the life of many people, that may be don`t know you. The advantice is becoming of the fact that you just need one computer and a good internet conection, but the most important advantage is that nobody is in the front of you , so you can say what you want, and don’t be afraid to expreess your thinking. So is a very good way for the shy people or the people that have a lot of things to express.
I enjoy writing the blog, because is nice talking about personal things, that I never write or think before, that make me think about things very common in the dairy that I never ask me. So the blog help me to knom about my self a lite bit more, be creative and expresive.
Comment to other blogger was a good time because I could know about the claasmate, and discover our different or same opinion.
In the way of the Englhist, I think that really healp me to write more fast , and also be more confidence in the time to write. My English is beter, but even I need more exercise.
The activity was a good exercise for the mind and the personal thinking, that help me in a lot of ways, but the more important is that now I wanna have and write my personal blog, and I gonna try, but in this oportunity in spanish J

Soccer:the opium of the people

I don’t carry about the the world cup of South Africa and in general about soccer , first I don’t like soccer but in the way of a big fanatismp . I like how a sport , and I play sometimes whit friends of my brothers , but i not really good. So I not interested in the soccer, I don’t have a favorite team and also I never wacht the macht on TV. In my family nobody is fans of a team of support one. So I know and understand anythink about soccer.
What the soccer generate in the people is awesome in spetail these days the only one topic is the soccer. I think that soccer is the opium of the people, for many people the soccer is very important ,It is a part of their life, because is a enterteining that give them happys and great moments. I undertsand that , but what i really desagree of these days is all the nationalism that grow more and more. So i hate how the mass media are in these days, only sentimentality.
The mass media and the FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association )try to show the wordl cup South Africa 2010 as a moment of peace and good for ala the wordl, but the true is that now are a lot of problems in the world, but the opium of the people make us to forget and don’t thinking in what is wrong.

Beautiful Landscape

I took this picture. I like to take pictures of everything, for example: landscapes, people in the street, animals, in general interesting and beautiful things. I didn`t have a good camera, but I try to take good photos.

This photo I took in the “Cajon del Maipo” in a place called “San Gabriel”.I went to this place with my grandfather and brothers, on the s Winter holidays 2008 .We were in a little and home hut for one week.It was a pleasant place.

In these place we didn’t have tv, so we went all the days on walk to the mountains. Also these days were very cold, and snowed in the mountains very close to us , so we walked around a Kilometer for be in a place with a big concentration of snow.

This day we played in the snow for a pair of hours, a lot of people were there to slide and make snow wars, It was a very nice day with my brothers ,with also an amazing landscape of the snowy mountains.

I took this picture in the montain, when we started to desending because the sunset was coming and the light was donw. In that moment the clouds were beautiful and the light perfect. It was so pretty that I can`t explain with words.

I took a lot of photos as light was not so good , the most of these weren`t fuzzy.

I like this photo because reminds me the nice days with my brothers and our close relationship, but also It make me feel comfortable ,relaxing and happy.

What do you think?

Valpariso

I did a lot of travel in Europe, that i love it , but the more special trip was
the last summer to Valparaiso.
I went with my best friends , my brother and my boyfriend. We stayed in the city around 3 days, in the grandmother's house of one of my friend.
These days were the cultural carnival, so in all the city were stages whit music, theather and dance. During the day we went to some cultural activity or we walked aronund the hills, one of my friend lived in Valparaiso , so we had our own guide because ¡he show us the spetial places.
At night we went to concerts out side in the street, the concerts were very spetial for many of us because the artist were Kevin Johansen , Camila Moreno, Intillimani and Aterciopelados.After the concerts we went to some interesting pubs to drink something or danced in a disco.
We didn't have enought money so all the days we cook our food with a low budget. Also in the morning we went to the beach to walk and swim, and we has a very good weather.
This trip was special because we laughed a lot and a lot of funny things happened to us. Also was a good time with all the group that maked us more closed. Also, it was the firts time that my boy friend came and met my friends, and they become friend very fast.

LFC.... Victor Jara Resist!

My favorite music group is “Los Fabulosos Cadilacs”. It` s an Argentinean band from Buenos Aires, they play Ska, but also whit a fusion of rock , reggae,folk and jazz. They started in 1985 as an band of ska, in the begien they wasn`t a group whit experience, so the quality of the songs wasn`t goed. But whit the years the group changed members and become better.
The two origional members of the group are the singer Gabriel Fernandez know as Vicentico and the bassist Flavio Cianciarulo know as Sr Flavio. They are the writers and composers of the most of the songs.
I heard “Los Fabulosos Cadilacs” firts when I was six years old, the songs was “Matador”, I couldn´t to understand what the songs lyric say but I liked the sound. Years after I could to understand the lyric and the song liked me more.
In general I don`t like the Ska music to much, but in the case of “Los Cadilacs” the mix whit others sounds are perfect for me, also I like what the songs say, special the critic to the governments of Latin America, the peace in the world and social conscience, also they have songs of love and some ones are really goed for to dance.
In dicember of 2009 they were in Chile whit “ Satanico Pop tour” this was its come back tour , becouse they were separate for five years. Chile was the last country of the tour and they maked around four concerts. I went whit my brothers that is also a goed fan, for keep the money for to buy the tickets I should to work in the street waving a flag of an political postulant to the senator of Chile, the job wasnt goed , but the concert was so goed that all the stive are not more important.

the notebook

So my favorite piece of technology is my notebook, bacause i can use for comunicate whit friends i n other place in the world, I have a very goed friend from Japon , she lives there so when I want to talk whit him I use the mesenger program , and we can see eacht other with the webcam and talk whit a microphone.Also I send mails to other friends that don´t have time for talk whit webcam and I like send fhotos too. But I always prefer send letters.
Also de notebook is potable for work in diferent place , for example if I go to my original town Los Andes I pick up for work there.I use almost all the days, when I ave to do somethink for the university ,and I also read internet the news papers and books.
I have now a new one, my father buy it for me, the old one was the same brand so I gived to my brother that is in de university too.
The notebook is not so important in my daily life. I can go to the wild and be whit out it. I think that things are not so important , but the modern life make us belive that we need technology all the time.

something smells good!!

My favorite dish in the world are the “porotos granados con bistec” that in english can be traslate how: beans with a piece of steak.
The origens of these dish are chilean. In the firts days of the colonial thit was want of staple of the populace people of Chile. The people eat with dried meat and onion.
Actuality the preparation of the “porotos “ is diferent, because they incorporate corn and other condiments. To prepare this dish for four people you need:
- 1 Kg of white beans.
- 2 corns.
- 1 little spoon of fat.
- 1 tomato
- 1 onion.
- ¼ pumpkin.
- ½ garlic glove.
- Cumin.
- Salt and pepper.
- 4 steak of meat.
Preparation:
Wash the White beans, Clean and take out the shell of the pumpkin leaving it whole. Take out the Shell and cut in Little square the tomato. Cut the onion and the garlic in small square.Fry the onion, the garlic with the fat and tomato. Dress with salt, pepper and cumin.
In a pot put de beans, with the garlic and water until the top of the ingredients. Cook until the beans come soft. Grim the garlic. Grate the corn into the pot.
Add the first preparation to the pot. Cook and stir for 10 minutes.
Cook the steak of meat in a pan.
And you have a really Chilean and very delicios dish of “porotos con bistec”!
When i como back from my Exchange in Belgium, that was my firts dish…mmmm ñami

I like.....

I am not really sure if I really can say that I admire this person, but I think that he makes an interesting job and also he has a diffent vision than the one I like.
His name is Luis Campos, he is a social anthropologist of the University of Chile, he also has a Master's and is a PhD in social anthopology in the University of Brasilia. He is director of the School of Anthropology of the Academy of Christian Humanism.
He works in investigation about ethnicity and multiculturalism ,specially of the indians of Chile and Mexico and their inter- relations, he studies also the urbane mapuche and so forth.
I know about his work because he was my teacher of antropology in the USACH, he showed me the antropology, his class was really good and interesting , because he has a good humor and also he has a different vision of Antropology.He thinks that language is really important and he writes his works metaphorically . So I like what he write about different topics and things that he likes. And I hope that one day i work in what i want and like.

the earthquake

I don't have an exaiting history about the earthquake. I was in my home city, Los Andes. In Los Andes the intence of the earthquake was not so big, because we are in the north of Santiago, I think that the earthquake was 6.5 magnitude. That day i was in my bed , because i had to work the saturday early in the morning. i felt nothing in the first seconds, and went i woke , i standed up really slow, because i thought that it would stoped but that not happen , and them my mother came to my bed room and picked to me and my brother, and together we went to the front door of the house and we waited under thear. The water on the dish of my dog was really jumped,the light of the street throwed sparks and the cars in the street moved a lot. i was quiet , but when the earthquake become with kore power , i felt worry. When that stoped i went to the house of my best friend bacause she was alone in her house.My mother was really nervous because two of my brothres wasen in house of friends; want in Los Andes and the other in Viña del Mar. Fortunately all my famuly and friends wasen good. Now I feel a big paint for all the people in the south of Chile that lost they house and family.
