2014 + Summer + Friends = New Adventure


Hi bloggers!

How are you? I’m happy because the year is finishing! There are so many things I want to do during the next summer, and that will be the topic of this week. The last English post! :O I think this activity was very useful and funny, I will miss to write about a universe of things Friday to Friday. But well, let’s begin with the last post! :D

The summer is coming and the heat is destroying each gram of my energies, but I have a particular activity I want to do: go to Coquimbo/La Serena with my best friends! This is an idea we planned with so many months of anticipation, because it will be the great rest that we deserve; 2013 was a hard year and very long too, in some aspects. But well, this future journey seems to be an unforgettable moment of our lives, like that movies in where a group of guys share their vacations in the beach, eating anything but spaghettis every day and doing the most crazy and absurdly stupid things in the world! I hope that our trip could be in that way, except by the spaghettis, because one of my best friends knows how to cook a lot of food with a little budget. I think that is a real talent. We have planned to visit the beach in the day and in the night, and when we will have a time for rest, a ridiculously bad movie like Sharknado will be our companion.  I hope to enjoy this summer with my friends, above all because one of them will study in the south of Chile, so the reunions will be less recurrent. Enjoy this summer too! Don´t leave that the 36°C at the shadow of the trees turn your rest into an inferno!

Good bye! :D

TCG!


Hi bloggers! How are you? I´m tired like every Friday, but I must admit that I have a little smile because the month, the last month, is moving forward!

Well, the topic of this week makes my head hurt, because I stayed around of 5 minutes thinking about what write this time. The reason: there are so many possibilities about to write!

A game I enjoyed playing as a child. I played chess too, but I´m not god in that. But I really love other strategy games, and here appear the trading card games (TCG). The trading card games are collectible games characterized by the access to an enormous number of cards with different abilities, and then the player is able to customize his “deck” with a diverse selection of cards. Deck is the name for the pile of cards what the player uses for play. There are a lot of funny and world-known trading cards games in the actuality, like Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Yu Gi Oh!, World of Warcraft, Vanguard, between others. In Chile was produced a very played TCG, called “Mitos y Leyendas”, characterized because the prices were too accessible in comparison with the international TCG, so it was a successful in its epoch. Well, I played trough of my life various TCG and that helped to me for to learn about different worlds, as a way for to learn about the English language, as a entertaining way, and as a way for to know a lot of different people, but with a common interest: the cards games. I loved to play cards tournaments every Saturday when I was in the school. The first TCG I played was Pokémon, because I was familiarized with the TV series. That was when I had 11years old, I think, or 10 maybe. However, the following TCG I played was Mitos y Leyendas and Yu Gi Oh, almost simultaneously, and well, “Mitos” was most attractive because was cheaper than the others. Between my greatest achievements playing cards was a 3th place in a Regional Tournament of “Mitos y Leyendas”, and my record of 1-1 versus the regional champion of that years (and my neighbor). Then I grew up, and the TCG were taking apart, at least competitively, because I need to invert my time and money in these thing, but I play with my friends and family when I have the opportunity, remembering the older days. I think my last tournament will be the National Tournament of Yu Gi Oh!, the last year on April, because it will be a nice way of to say goodbye to the TCG and gather the good memories, because regardless which was the game, I was so happy playing it J

See you!
Kangaskhan! One of my first Pokémon Cards!

Following the Irwin and Corwin legacy!


Hi bloggers!

How are you? If you have read my other post you will remember my love for the Fridays! What awful day…above all for the beginning of the harder month of the semester…but well, it´s time to use the last charge of batteries of die J


The post of this week is related with a very interesting thing again. I will miss the post-making-Fridays, I must accept it. Following with the main thread, in this opportunity I will talk you about a job I would like to do.


Choose for only one wasn´t hard this time, because since I was a child I have dreaming with a future doing this job: being the main star of a TV show related with animals! Probably you will remember to the famous Dog Whisperer Cesar Millán, but my dream is not appointing to the job that men do. My dream Is more connected with the TV shows of one explorer finding animals wherever he travels around the world, and teaching about those animals to the audience. Do you remember to Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter? Someone like him! Exploring the world, entering to the Amazonas only searching for a little viper; digging into the earth for find the mystical caverns where the Axolotl lives; crossing the savage savanna and making contact with the majesties felines whose domains that land, and an infinity of experiences like these!


That job would be the better job in the world for me! What’s the reason? Well, since I was a little child, the core of my interests has been the study of the animals; I remember my first books, about the description of the mammals, and my favorite one: my first book about the animal conduct.  By that reason I think I will be the greatest TV show explorer of all times! (Bear Grylls is too fake xD ).


The only what I need is study Zoology, I hope someday study that career! Is one of the things I more want to do in my life! Studying in the USA will be the better, or Australia.


My inspiration is certainly a guy called Jeff Corwin. I really like Steve Irwin and his enormous legacy, but Jeff was who makes me love that TV shows, with his program called “The Jeff Corwin Experience” that I watched in Animal Planet. The capacity of teach to everybody who is watching the program, carrying to the people to exotic countries, showing to them fantastic and unknown animals, and maybe, helping to create at the distance another Jeff or Steve J  


And well, I love his sense of humor too! He is a master!


See you!

Walking with the rain!


Hi bloggers! How are you?

I´m dying in this moment. I understand that some people love the heat and that all, but come on! 32°C in Santiago???? Do you really like an inferno like that? I respect the different opinions, but loving temperatures like that during the SPRING is ridiculous…and the summer is coming D: …. Damn homothermous system….

Well, the post of this week is about a walk I would like to do again. A walk brings to my mind a trip characterized by a landscape like a hill, or a road though the desert… but I don´t remember an activity realized by me in my life. In that case, I will talk you about a good memory related with the action of walk, above all with the awful context created by this absurd temperature.

On 2008, when I was in my last year of school, the class finished at 12:00 and a powerful rain was fallen above the city. The city was Rancagua, where my school was located. Everybody ran quickly to their houses, but me. I really like the rain, and I’ve always loved the winter and the autumn (only the second stage of this, by the arrival of the cold and the beginning of the rains!).  I saw the streets covered by water, the dark clouds and I felt the almost strong wind. I was so happy! And after that, I started my little journey around the city. The streets were practically without people and that was amazing too, because I don’t like the chaos created by the accumulation of people in the small places, like a sidewalk. My trip didn’t had something incredible or fantastic, only was the rain with me, both walking around an empty city. I’ve always remember that day, because simple things like that makes me happy J

I didn’t use an umbrella, and generally I don’t use that objects. Yeah, I know that my health could be in problems if I risk my body to situations of “bad weather” like that, but I would do the same again every time I would have the opportunity!  

See you!
 
Only leave your umbrella in home and enjoy the rain! :D

An explosive illness!


Hi bloggers!

How are you?

I´m tired, as every Friday, and well, it is my first on time-post in weeks! (Only two weeks exactly, not one month as says the teacher xD ). And well, the teacher says to us the order of do a “free post”. That phrase gives me so many complications every time xD … is easier for me to write an specific topic for week, a free post is so ambiguous! But well, after 30 minutes of indecision I found the perfect topic for this occasion: The Exploding Head Syndrome!

If you have never saw or listened about this disease don´t feel ignorance or anything like that. The only reason because I know about it is because one night the last years I had a lot of free time and I found it by chance. The stranger here is what I’ve suffered that illness, but I didn´t know the name. The exploding head syndrome consist in a very peculiar disease characterized by events of loud sounds like bangs in the head of the subject, very similar to a bomb exploding; and these take place during the sleep stage or during the transition from waking to sleeping. That could sound so crazy and hurtful, but fortunately that don´t is a great problem because it doesn’t involve high levels of hurt or serious complications, only the fact of to wake suddenly in the night, tachycardia sometimes but that´s all. Is not a blessing to wake in the nights because an absurdly annoying noise is ringing in your head, but is not all the time. This phenomenon happens only in fatigue or heavy stress situations, or that says the related investigation, very few investigations in any case.

If you want to know about a cure for this Syndrome, well, like this disease is product of tense situations and that is the conditional for the appearance of alterations of the sleep, is recommended any activity that involves an improvement of the sleep quality, and that could include reading, relaxing music, yoga or a hot bath before bed.

See you!

Robotics;Notes!!

Hi bloggers!
Wow, I must accept I completely forgot write a post the last Friday, as I didn´t went to the class of that day. But well,  I will show you other interesting topic this week, as usually.

The future. Since I was a child, that word brings me the idea of a hyper-technologized world, with robots making our work, laser guns, flying cars and maybe some space monsters living with us… I think that crazy but very “normal” idea I had, was the product of the interaction of Hollywood with my brain. But leaving apart that future with a Jetsons-style, is the moment for talk about a nearer futuristic epoch.

In 10 years more, I think I will be (or I should be in that moment) a Geographer. A Geographer trying to do a mixture of that discipline I studied with one of my greatest passion: the Biology. A bio-geography with an animal view could be interesting. If my savings capacity allows me, I hope to live in a quiet place. I really like Santiago sometimes, but I think it is not a place for to live forever, for me at least.
But if I achieve earn so much money…well, Australia could be a priceless option :D !!!
In 10 years I will have 33 years old. I will be so old! But having that age, I hope to have my own family, with 1 or 2 children :D ! And my wife, obviously.

I will still having communication with my current friends? I hope it. An activity we want to do in the future is remember every stupid thing we did together. Those stories couldn’t be the better example for our sons, but I´m sure it worth it.

 I don´t believe that the world will experiment changes in a big scale during the next 10 years; the disappearing of little countries by reunification or the segmentation of other countries at most.  But talking about the global warming and that all, I don’t hope so many differences. Maybe another black president in USA… or in Chile, only lets your imagination fly!

Andrias Japonicus!


Hi bloggers!

How are you? I´m a little confused because I didn´t realize the teacher was in the lab when I thought he wasn’t came to the university today. Well, that was a strange way for start a Friday.

What’s the topic of this week? (Originally this week, I know that I made my last post too late xD ) Well, I’ve always been a fanatic of all the related with the nature, and above all, with the living beings. That includes trees, sponges, archaeas, dinosaurs, crustaceous, swans, jellyfishes, inclusive the protozoans! But loving them and all that, I’ve never had a pet… Maybe I had opportunities in the past for adopt one pet, but I decide share my life with one, only when I be independent, at least in my own economy.  
But thinking about the future, there are so many pets I would like to have! Sincerely I´m afraid of turn my first house into a zoo…But well, I have to choice for only one this time, so I will choice a little boy called “Giant Salamander”!

What’s a Giant Salamander strictly?  A Giant Salamander is that: an enormous salamander!

The salamanders are amphibians, although they could seem lizards, by their physical aspect. So the salamanders and the tritons too, have a skin so slimy and oily, like other amphibians.  A salamander likes the wetlands and they are found principally in Asia. As a crazy characteristic, a Salamander is capable of regenerate its limbs! :O Simply amazing guys!

But, a particular species likes to me since a lot of years ago. Is the called Giant Salamander, called of that way because it could have a length of almost 1.5 mts .!!! Only imagine that: you are resting a Saturday in the night with your friends, when suddenly, a giant Japanese lizard-but no lizard appears from the pool and all your friends scream and laugh for the senseless of the scene! Hahahahah that’s hilarious, but I love those animals! Sometimes they are unknown for the most of people and the people fear them, but they are so inoffensive, at least for a human being! So you have nothing for to worry about J  

For the last point, a curious thing about those guys is their long live: they could live at 50 years in captivity! So I believe it would be a good partner for a lot of years J

See you


Awww!!

Somebody said buffet?

Hi bloggers!

I must accept my fault. Today is Thursday and I haven’t seen the blog. What’s the reason? I don´t know exactly, but it must be by the habit of enter to the blog only the Friday during the class xD
Well, leaving aside the pretexts, I will introduce you a topic related with good memories and very tasty memories too.  It’s about a special meal.

I was thinking, and there are many meals I remember for one or another reason. But one of the funniest was when I was 17 years old. It was during the high school, and my classmates and I were visiting an exposition called “Bodies: The Exhibition” in Las Condes, specify next to “Parque Arauco”. That exhibition had preserved human bodies dissected to display bodily systems. And well, after that beautiful experience (For me at least, since I always have been a fanatic of the biology), we made a journey searching a good place where we could have a memorable lunch. So we found a well-known restaurant called Gatsby, and when we saw a little discount in the price of the bigger buffet in the restaurant, immediately we decided for that place. All what you can eat for only $7.000 Chilean pesos! Hahahah that was wonderful! We ate the enormous and diverse list of food that the restaurant employees offered to us. We are so excited and fascinated! Joking and eating as if the world were to end.

I love the sea products, and I remember that I ate salmon in industrial quantities! At the point what I didn’t eat a dessert, because it wasn’t necessary. But the great variety of desserts was awesome!
Sometimes I think I could have exterminated some salmon species that day…
Resuming, that's a good memory of my school days, a this is a little representation of how a simple activity like a lunch could turn into a good story with the necessary components: friends + smoked salmon :)

See you!

The Paradise!

Shells and Memories!


Hi bloggers! How are you? I´m tired, but I don´t know the reason xD Until today my week have not been so bad. I remember the reason! Today is Friday! And I don´t have many ideas for to write. But let’s do in anyway.

What’s the topic of today? In this opportunity I will talk you about a curious thing. I don´t remember so good the time when it happened, but I estimate I should happen when I had 9 or 10 years old.  My family (my mother, my father and my little brother) and I traveled to the seventh region of Chile, particularly to the coastal city called “Constitucion”. The amazing of the trip was what we didn´t visit that place during the summer, like a normal family do; enjoying the perfect mixture created by the water, the sand and the sun. In fact, we made a trip in the winter, specifically on July of that year that I don´t remember. Yeah, our adventure was marked by the rain, a bit of cold and the strong wind. Personally I liked that journey so much, because I love the winter and the rain fascinate to me. I believe what my mother didn´t like it, since she is not too attached to the cold seasons.  

Talking about what I did in that place, I must be honest: I have mental blocks about since that happened a lot of years ago. But I remember one thing in particular.

One time my brother and I went to the nearest beach while a strong downpour was fallen, and we saw an extraordinary event: in the sand were a lot of exoskeletons of crustaceous and shells of mollusks!  I remember the image so good: the entire sand cover with those leftovers. I didn´t realize the impact of the tides or the waves or anything like that. The only was a beautiful memory about how the nature operates.  

That spectacle teaches me a hidden part of the coastal zones that we can´t see if we visited that places in the summer only :)

See you!
 
Just imagine something like that, but with rain :D

Learning!


Hello bloggers!

How are you? Sincerely, I´m feeling like a stupid because I don´t know how to start this post xD I think it could be because today is Friday and for some reason my brain is not working too good xD

Well, without more brain hemorrhages, I will introduce you the topic of this week, and maybe it is influenced by a show I saw days ago. Do you have something you want learn to do? Personally, I always have wanted to be singer, but a professional singer. I think I could be happy recording songs, creating new lyrics, doing good spectacles in a scenario hahahah it is one of my dreams since I was a child. But I never have gone to a singing academy or anything like that. You ask me for a reason? Well, because I was too lazy for to take a class, I think. The same happened when I wanted to take Tae Kwon Do class a lot of years ago.

A career in the world of singing must take an entire life; but in this world dominated by the internet connections, maybe a microphone and a camera is enough for to be famous! But to be famous is not all, at least not for me . I want to learn the techniques, with recognized teachers, talent buddies and all the necessary for to be an expert in the theme. Talking about the styles, I love so many of them, but for to control their differents sounds, is required a respective training. Equipment?  My voice and my dedication is all what I need for to do it (and well, the academy xD ). I think what the principal problem I would face in this process is the polish of my voice. I believe I´m not a bad singer of the songs I really like, but one thing is singing in your house or in a karaoke with friends, and other thing is to sing in a theater or a studio. And polishing the principal tool of a singer I will acquire the enough sureness for to make a good presentation without the fear of to be a fool of myself.

I hope someday, record something in a studio, at least. Maybe my song will be a disaster xD, but well, everybody want to turn the dreams in reality, and I´m not the exception.

See you!


Something like that! But I must to learn to play the guitar too hahahaha xD

Time For Memories!


Hi bloggers! How are you? Well, for my side, the truth is I´m suffering the greatness of be an allergic person when the spring is coming. I hate that season so much xD But everybody love it! I´m feel like an anarchist in that sense.

Continuing with the post of this week, one thing I don´t dislike of the spring is the celebration of “Fiestas Patrias” that take place each year in our country; and as the core of this post, I will write about one that I remember above the others.

It was on 2009, the year when I started my first year in Veterinary, in the campus of the Universidad de Chile called “Antumapu”. My new friends of that time, my classmates, and I were to the activities developed each year in that university ground.  In that place, like in everywhere, groups of friends were made based in affinities. Normally a group of students had the tendency of to be separated of the other groups and distinguish between them. But in that party, everybody talked with everybody! I met people that with the time turn in close friends and I maintain the friendship at this moment, like Max, Milo, Georges, for mention to some few.  That was the principal reason for what I loved that moment, the fact of met important people.

And well, what about the activities? Well, in that enormous place you could buy typical food related with the festivity, empanadas, anticuchos (so expensive, if you ask me), and don´t forget the drinks! Yeah, typical drinks too, like the famous “chicha”, “terremotos” and “pipeño” hahahaha! Every drink closed at hand! I remember that the prices were too accessible.  And due to the low-priced alcohol, Milo, a friend, finished so drunk and between his adventures that evening of September, I remember when he gave one of his shoe to an unknown girl as present hahahaha

Good memories come to my mind with the arrival of these epochs (but the allergic regrets), and I ever hope that the next time the memories turns better!

In A World Like This


Hi Bloggers!

In the first post of this semester, I must to develop a “Free Topic Post”…

“Free Topic”… Is very hard for me decide me when I must choose between a universe of possibilities, and I must add, possibilities that I love.  

Without more doubts, let me introduce you my first post called: “In A World Like This”.

What’s the meaning of the title? Well, one of the music bands that I have liked since I was a child is, definitively, a extremely famous American music group called “Backstreet Boys”. Yeah, I bet you have listened to some song of these boys at least. Their repertory is wide: songs like “Larger than life”, “I want in that way”, “Inconsolable”, “Show me the meaning of being lonely”, etc. For the lovers of the pop music, like me, that group will remain in our better memories forever.

And coming back to the core idea of the post, this year 2013, these boys celebrated their 20 years of career, a career fueled with amazing moments and misadventures too, with the release of their new album called: “In A World Like This”. Personally, I choose this topic because I have listened the entire album few weeks ago and this could be a good opportunity for give my opinion about this.

Although this new album is not like the others in the strict sense of the pop music that characterized the band since the origin, with sounds suitable for choreographies, “In A World Like This” shows to the fans a hidden side of the boys, more mature because they reach the age of paternity and the content in the songs change too. But I loved it. This disc was a good chance for the group for take advantage of the actual music, and to mix that with a “BSB” scent.  Romantic songs like “Permanent Stain” and “One Phone Call” are in my head since days ago, and I believe that the entire world will enjoy every particle and fragment of this amazing album and will enjoy too this new perspective about this iconic band.

That's All Folks!


Hi bloggers!

Every good thing in the life and in the world has an end. In in this chance there will not exceptions. What I am talking about? Well guys, it is the last post of the semester.

I will not bring to you an extravagant and exotic “interesting thing” like all the others posts, but it will be a time for synthetize the work that I have realized in the past weeks.

I think that the blog was a very helpful tool for remember the use of this world-known language.  And in my opinion, write a post every Monday in the morning was a good way for to wake up fueled with energy.  I enjoyed doing it because have passed a lot of time since the last time I had this subject, around 5 years ago, if my mind don´t play me tricks.

My favorite post was the post about one of my favorite TV series, when I wrote about “Pokémon”.  The reason is because in that moment I felt inside my veins the freedom for to write and write and write without limit. And when I finished it, I realize that the post contained the double of words that were required xD

My least favorite post was the post about a friend, because was very hard for me to decide for only one of them.  It was an unfair moment.

Remembering the blogs of my classmates, the blog that I liked was the blog of Natalia, called “Nessa Palantir J “, because she posted about games and TV series that I like, making me smile . I wrote in her blog every week, I believe.

In esthetic terms and in contents terms too, I think that the blog of Beatriz was the most interesting. Why? Because I like her mode of write up in English, and the combination of colors in the bottom of her blog is amazing!

In synopsis, I could to say that the blog was a very useful method for remember a language that I have forgot a bit, but that I always loved. Writing every week help me to improve my abilities and comment in the post of my buddies was an excellent way for improvise my writing in English J ; although I must to get better my vocabulary! That’s my goal! :D

Good Bye! :D

Gotta Catch'Em All!


Hi bloggers!

I hope you enjoy the return to class, and for beginning, this Monday I bring you other very interesting thing!

What will be our theme this week?

Part of my more appreciated regards from I was a child, are definitely the TV shows that I watched, and one of my favorite is the anime called “Pokémon”.

You know to Pikachu? Hahahaha! I bet you know that extremely famous and cute electric mouse. It is the icon of this series and everybody associate the term “Pokémon” with the image of this charismatic creature.

Well, Pokémon (abbreviated from “Pocket Monsters” was released in Japan on 1997, and I watched the first episode, translated to Latin-American Spanish on 1999. This anime is about the adventures of a child of Pallet Town called Ash Ketchum (In the original language he is “Satoshi” instead), tripping around the Pokémon World with his best friend, the creature known as Pikachu. The Pokémon World is featured by the existence of those creatures called “Pokémon” that have diverse appearances, since animal form at some with impressive human looks! And the humans in that world take action as “Pokémon Trainers”, improving the skill of the Pokémon that they caught by the use of technological gadgets known as “Pokeballs”, increasing the bond between the trainer and his Pokémon, and fighting in friendly combats with other trainers. Well, the main protagonist, Ash, dream to turn in a Pokémon Master, an elite trainer recognized for the entire world, and have the goal of catch every species of Pokémon existing in the world.  And that was the reason for begin his journey, at his 10 years old, the age necessary for to receive the official license as trainer. Then, to each new trainer was given their first Pokémon between, and in the case of Ash, the Professor Oak, the local Pokémon researcher, gives to him to Pikachu.  They two start their relation with problems but their friendship rose when Ash defends to Pikachu from the attack of wild Pokémon.  That is the origin of all!

I loved to watch that anime! The story, the characters and the different types of Pokémon involve me at the point of to see every season of the anime, all the movies and everything related with this!  And with the pass of the time, I collected a lot of things about the franchise, turning into a fervent fanatic!

A lot of years have passed since Pokémon was launched, the number of Pokémon have increased from the original 150 at around 700! But I love it anyways! And I think that I will be a fan of the Pokémon World forever and ever!

See you!
 
Pikachu + Ash = Years of fun! :D

We Are Young!

Hi bloggers!!

In this opportunity I will touch a topic very personal, charged with subjectivism: a song. Not my favorite song, because choose only one could be a chaos, but I will talk you about a song that I like so much, and like other times, it was a little hard for me the choice.

Which song I have chosen? A beautiful one called “Kick Ass (We Are Young)”, sung by the British singer  “Mika”, contemporaneous, that plays pop music, pop rock, glam rock, between others styles; and produced by the famous Moroccan producer and songwriter “RedOne”. This song was released as single of the British superhero action comedy film called “Kick Ass”. The release of the movie and the release of the song were on 2010.

The first time when I listened it was on the early 2012, searching for more Mika’s songs in “Youtube”. In that place I knew the official video of the song too, and I loved it since the beginning. What is the reason? Because the lyrics of “Kick Ass” remember you that you never should forget your own strength, your inner power, your will. And what that hidden force within us is capable for change the world of each one of us, and the entire world If we propose it. The energy of the music and the powerful lyrics make an amazing song that gives you the spirit for start your day with a smile, remembering that “We are the dream, no other way to be”...

See you!



The official video! Enjoy it! :D

A little piece of green!

Hi bloggers!

In this opportunity I will talk about a very interesting thing, but a simple thing too -
Is about a place that I visit each time I can. A beautiful place located in the middle of Santiago, a place that acts like an island in the boring sea of buildings, buses and angry people. What place? The known “Cerro Santa Lucía”.

It is a little hill characterized by an natural ambience mixed with old architecture, next to the main avenue of the center of Santiago, and very near to our university!! Exactly, it is next to “Santa Lucia” and “Alameda del Libertador Bernardo O’higgins” streets.
Why I like this place? It is very quiet in comparison to the rest of the city. You can walk up this hill tranquilly, and arrive to the summit and see the city (At least that the smog prevent you of see much xD).

 I like to go to the “Cerro Santa Lucia” during the afternoon, when the classes have finished.  Is my better way of improve a day! I must admit that the last year I went much in contrast with this year.
I don´t remember exactly he last time I went to the hill, but with my girlfriend love walk up and rest there! :D  We love this fragment of green color inside the sad gray environments! This really cheers up your mood! :D


See you!

A little piece of green in the middle of the city! :D

Entering to Mordor!

Hi bloggers!!

Which theme we will approach this time? Sincerely, like others post, was very difficult for me to decide. And well…What I will talk you about? I will talk you about a book a liked!
Sounds good? Yeah. Many people love to read, entering to fantastic worlds simply decoding words impressed in a paper. It’s fantastic!

Choice only one book took me a lot of minutes, certainly. And really that book that I have chosen isn´t a book, explicitly xD hahahaha!. It is a series of books, a trilogy. A famous trilogy that you must know: The Lord of The Rings.
The Lord of the Rings is an epic fantasy novel trilogy composed by 3 fascinating books called (In order): The “The Fellowship of the Ring”, “The Two Towers” and “The Return of the King”. Those 3 books were written by the English J.R.R. Tolkien. There are book that complement these 3, “The Hobbit”, a prequel. Well, this is a franchise well known in the entire world, and there are fantastic movies about this too!

In a birthday, a lot of years ago, my mother gave me the trilogy in form of present. It was a special edition: The three books in a beautiful box. In that moment I didn´t read many books, for except of the titles that were necessaries for the school. At that age, the medieval-kind story captivated me! I really love that stories based in ancient worlds, where the people (humans or not) fight with swords and the valor and honor are seen as primordial things. So, I liked this trilogy because it is about different forces (And different races too, like Humans, Dwarfs, Hobbits, Orcs, Elves) treating with rings of power. These rings are ultimate weapons that have the capacity of help to the owner to conquer and rule all the Middle-earth, as is called the world in that the story takes place.

And without more words, I invite you to enter to the Middle-earth world. A world fill with battles, incredible beasts, travels, kingdoms, and a hypnotic atmosphere that will not left you go away!!! :D
See you in Mordor! :D

:D My books have that kind of cover! I love them!



Introducing "The Undertaker"!

Hi bloggers!!

Can you guess what is coming?
Yes!!! Is time of other very important thing! And which topic we will treat this time? This post is about a person that I admire and I would like to meet: Mark Calaway, or as the entire world call him, The Undertaker.

Mark William Calaway is an American professional wrestler that I have seen since I was a child, in the company of professional wrestling called (Actually) WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). This very famous company is dedicating, as its name says, to a way of entertainment by the telecast of shows about American wrestling. And well, in the roster of WWE Superstars, there is one that highlight over the others, and that one is The Undertaker. He is a legendary wrestler, of around 7 feet tall, that I really like because of his particular fighting style, mixing the “Technical Style” that involves grips and locks, “Brawler Style” that involves fist strikes and the “Powerhouse Style” own of the biggest fighters, characterized by lifts and brutal high-impact movements. That mixture forms his own style, denominated like “Old School”.
In addition, he has an awesome record in the wrestling world. He has a streak of 21-0 in Wrestlemania!!!!.

 Wrestlemania is the greatest wrestling event in the world, and take place one time at year. It is like the “Super Bowl” for the American Football fans, an event well known in the entire world and with millions of people viewing it. Well, “Taker” has the record of 21 years unbeaten on this event, defeating others stars of wrestling like Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels and Triple H.

Why I would like meet him? Come on! He is a wrestling living legend!! :D if you know his career, there is nothing more that explain!
If I would meet him, I would ask him to be my trainer and that he teach me his particular moves, like the “Tombstone Piledriver”, the “Hell’s Gate” and the “Chokeslam from Hell”. Maybe you not understand anything that I am talking hahaha and you think that I am crazy, but if you say that words to a lover of wrestling like me, I bet you that you will make smile him!

See you… and REST IN PEACE!

Taker making his traditional entrance! :D

The Undertaker and the World Heavyweight Championship!

Family Holidays!

Hi bloggers!

How are all of you? Have passed a lot of time since the last opportunity that I wrote in this page, really. I must admit my laziness xD. And I must wait that my lethargic state does not involve necessary a bad evaluation xD hahahaha!

Well, coming back to the important for us, as every week, I will talk you about a very very important thing. Do you have a favorite holiday? I don’t. The problem is that I can´t decide for only one! Each summer is a new adventure, with family, with friends, and isn´t righteous talk about only oneL. So, in my negation of chose, I will write about the first vacation that came to my mind. I remember the last time that I traveled with my entire family during a summer for a relax reason. Several years ago, when I had 15 years old, we went to La Serena and surroundings, for last time. We visited family that I don´t see much, and stayed in that region for 2 months! :D We made a lot of funny things, discovering towns, enjoying beaches, but not the traditional bays that all the people visit during the summer time, but hidden places without interruptions of the city! :D Was really amazing!

We frequented typical places too, not  everything could be nature in its free style. Do you know the lighthouse? Probably you know about this. Well, we visited that places too.

Which is the reason for what I remember that holiday? Sounds like any travel with the family, and that is exactly the reason. I miss the time when all the family went to the same place, without preoccupations but create good moments together. All of us have grown up, and gather each member is too hard, practically impossible. But we will remember those good days forever, when play at the sunset was our only worry: 3

See you!

House of Wax!


Hi bloggers!

Wow, how much time has passed? I really miss to write each Monday hahahaha xD
Well, in this opportunity I will talk you about a very interesting theme again. Do you know some museum? I have known a pair of those, but they aren’t as good as the next one:
A WAX MUSEUM!

Yeah! Amazing not? It may not be a strictly scientific museum, but damn, I love this! Only imagine this: a place where you can see Spiderman and Madonna at the same time! :D It sounds crazy, but is true.  What things can you find in “Madame Tussauds London”? An incredible adventure trough the time.  Are you an admirer to the history and developments? So, you will love the Cultural Figures, like Albert Einstein, Charles Dickens and Pablo Picasso!
Or maybe you are a sportman for nature. In this case, you will enjoy the Sport Stars! Where you will find the legend of Boxing, Muhammad Ali, beside current famous athletes like Usain Bolt!  Or possibly you are a lover of the red carpet and the Hollywood Stars will make you cry of emotion, seeing in the same place to George Clooney and Leonardo Di Caprio!
And well, if you are a comic’s fan like me, and particularly of the Marvel Universe, there is a good notice for you! HULK, SPIDERMAN, WOLVERINE and CAPTAIN AMERICA may be found in this awesome place!
All that and more you will discover if you visit Madame Tussauds London.

Where it is? It’s located in London, specifically in Marylebone Road.
How to get on? There are many ways:
-By Tube: This museum is just a two minute walk away from “Baker Street Station”.
-By Train: “Maylebone Station” is within 10 minutes walking distance of Madame Tussauds.
-By Bus: There are so many buses that travel to this place: 13,18, 27, 30, 74, 82, 113, 139, 189, 205, 274 and 453.
-By Coach: There is a coach drop off and pick up point situated on Marylebone Road.
-By Car: Marylebone Road is an extension of the A40, one of the major routes in and out of London.
As you can see, There aren't excuses for not to go!

That’s sounds good…but…What’s the price? An advice before that: If you buy the tickets online, you will save a good quantity of Euros. The online price for an Adult Ticket is £22.50, for a Child Ticket the cost is £19.35, and finally, if you will travel with your family, the price for a Family of 4 Ticket is £81.00.
Sincerely, I think that the museum worth every Euro you spend. I hope someday to be able to travel to London and see each sculpture and enjoy the creativity of this pretty art! And to demand my photo next to Bruce Banner!

OMG OMG OMG! Mr. Freeman! :D :D :D

Extreme Valhalla!


Hi bloggers!

In this opportunity, I will talk you about other important topic, like every Monday.
A party!! The teacher said to us this theme, but I don´t go to parties often really. Or at least for a while. Since 2010 that I don´t go to a PARTY correctly saying. Well, in this occasion I will remember one of the many parties that I have lived with my friends.

I don´t remember the year exactly, but I think that was on 2010. Well, I will talk you about the Birthday Party of one of my best friends: Pablo, or “Pablito”, as I say to him. That was the first party in Pablito’s House, since we meet to us. The parents of this guy don´t like so much the parties in yours home, because the neighborhood is very quiet and the minor sound gives to the residents a good reason for to phone to the police xD
But, however those impediments, the party took place, a Friday Night.

OH! I remember!!! To the next day was the birthday of another of my best friends, Viky, and her birthday is on May 5, so this party was on May 4 xD hahaha

Well, let’s continue. So many university buddies were to this celebration, even people that I never had seen, like friends of friends, that´s incredibly typical in those gatherings. We made a very tasty roast!! Well, a handful of guest roasted the meat, really. The others were drinking and drinking as if they were experts in the yard or the kitchen (That day I saw so many bottles like never I have seen in my entire life. Even there were bottles of Absolut Vodka…the guys were too generous with the money that night), and a little quantity of people was dancing in the hall.

The music was amazing. My friends singing and speaking loud like Viking warriors, the roast tasted like the meat that the Gods must eat, and the endless drinks converted a simply birthday party on a Nordic Valhalla, like we called to our celebrations.

PS: Ah! A neighbor called to the policeL, and the Pablito’s Father had to pay a fine. For that reason, never again was a party in that house hahahaha!

This´s Valhalla kids!

V.I.P. Moment!


Hi bloggers!

In this opportunity I will talk you about another very very very interesting matter. But, before I will start writing about that, let me say that I´m brimming of happiness because the actual weather finally seems like an autumn weather xD
Well, today I will write about a friend. Really was very difficult for me to choose, I haven’t a “best friend”, I considered I have a number of friends and all of them are appreciated for me.
But I must take a decision, and I will talk you about “Toño”. Well, his real name isn’t “Toño”. His name is “Antonio” and let me tell you a secret: he doesn´t like that nickname too much, but everybody in our group say to him in that way, by affection. He has 22 years old and is from Rancagua.
I meet to him on March 2009, the reason? In that year I started my first time in the University (In this University), studying Veterinary; and Toño and I were career partners. Curiously, we had a person in common: a Toño´s Cousin was too a friend that I meet working in the summer of that year!
And well, since the beginning of this adventure, he and I were good friends, until this day!
He was very shy in when I meet him, but with the pass of the years he was getting along…and now he is a problem child hahahaha! I remember when we went to parties the first year of university, and he didn’t drink anything but drinks without alcohol…but now…he continually scold me because I don’t like that kind of drinks and I don’t want to share a bottle of rum and not even a beer with him and my other friends xD but is my choice, and after that instant, he is bothering me again and saying that I was cool before, when I liked that hahaha! But he is a good boy. Is very trustworthy and I like whe we are talking about the life, our problems and our love sorrows hahahaha! I must accept that was a little fun when we drown our sorrows xD Was a funny moment in my life, and we laugh remembering the things that we have done. Actually, we don´t see us very much, by my class and his work (He suspended his studies for a year, but the next one he will come back to the career that he most love in the world, and the career that join to us:  Veterinary. But I keep in touch with him, in fact, I speak with him every day xD
In addition, we are playing the same online game, League of Legends (And in occasions, one called World of Warcraft, but it is a pay-per-play game and I only pay it from time to time), so that reinforce our friendship. Although sometimes we had little discussions about this xD but that make us enjoy a little more the game, insulting us or blaming to the worst player of this game.

And well, either playing, going out or speaking while he drinks a beer and I drink a mineral water for women, we always have a good time, and I hope that we will continue being friends until we become old. A pair of grandpas with pipes that remember the times when they was playing until lose their corneas.
One of my favorites photographs, from the left: Toño, Chelo, Milo, Max, Pablo, Daniel and I'm the clown in the middle of them.

Steel Twins!





Hi bloggers!

In this opportunity I will talk you about another interesting topic. "Do you have a favorite building?" The teacher asks that question to me and to my classmates. That was a bit complicated to resolve, because I love so many buildings. Really was very hard for me to choose just one. But I finally decided on one of the most controversial buildings since the beginning of the century.

The “World Trade Center”. And, specifically the “Twin Towers”, as people called these iron giants amid NYC. As everybody knows, those buildings are no longer on their site, since September 11, 2001; due to a terrorist attack by Al-Qaeda (That's what says the official news. There’re many speculations about the "real causes". Feel you free to search more information).

Let´s talk about the building!
For begin, I don’t remember exactly when the “World Trade Center” phrase was a recognizable thing for me. But I always had the image of these enormous pieces of steel as reference when someone said “USA”. I always like this structure because I've always loved the buildings unnecessarily high! Something catches my attention of those constructions that threaten the laws of physics.
 The main towers complex was constituted of two structures, the North Tower and the South Tower, each one over the 400 meters high, and around of 110 stories. The North tower was the tallest building in the world for a time, with 527 meters high thanks to a tall antenna! The towers began to be built in the middle of the decade of the 60s, and were inaugurated in the early 70s. Those were built, as its name says, to organizations directly taking part in “world trade” and financial companies. The towers were where one the most concurred and active flow of money and transactions took place. The appearance was the typical for a skyscraper: most tall than wide, a windowed view from outside, a rectangular classical form, and according to sources, is estimated that the Twin Towers contained 200,000 tons of steel, 325,000 cubic meters of concrete, 300,000 square meters of glass area corresponding to 43,600 windows, 198 elevators with an average capacity of 55 people, 71 escalators! D:

The edifices were mixed very well with their surroundings, principally for the reason that the environment was involved on a business atmosphere, and the others buildings had a similar facade and structure. I think the citizens were very proud in relation to the existence of this kind of buildings on their city. When the terrorist attack occurred, thanks to the worldwide broadcasting of the epoch, I could watch the truth impact that the incident caused on the people. There wasn’t only an aggression against the dominant economic system:  that day a symbol of the American patriotism was killed. Those make me think about the value and identity that the people give to their space, including this unanimated part of the space…things that I will not treat in this post xD but is something for to keep in mind!

See you the next time! :3
