English Language Challenges


I think the best of this class was this class is different from the others. When you study a career usually learning about a specific things, in my case about the cinema and communication, and take a course of English makes you use your mind in something different. Write in the blog is so useful for improve your grammar, because talk and write in English it's different. For example, for me is easier talk in English. Somehow I cope for put the words together and build a prayer, but when you write I thing you need more knowledge of vocabulary and grammar, so is more difficult.

The best way to learn English, in my opinion, is practicing and listening constantly the language. One of my favorites methods for learn is watch movies and series in English.  In fact, I think the principal tool which I learned the idiom all this years have been for the music and movies. The lyric of the songs stays in your heads and is so simple remind sentences and use them in a conversation. For the other side, when you watch movies you can learn jargon of the language and you'll have a better vocabulary and expressions.

I have a certain benefit because my mom is a English teacher, but the truth is that she hates the language so  is not much that I can practice with she. (she studied French, and a reform education forced she to study English...so, u understand that. Also, she hates EE.UU and this languaje reminds that country)  So, I think my opportunity for practice my English is travel to places where this is spoken.

That would be very nice :). Thanks miss, xoxo.

2014 Have you had a good year?


I like to think that this year is always better than the last one. This year in particular was so well and entertaining. I changed many thing about me: I grew up a little in emotionally and mentally aspects. I learned a lot of things and I discovered aspects of myself that I never knew existed.

One of the good things that have happened in my life was I finished a relationship very sick and bornout.  The last two years I have been very sad and hysterical, and this year I discovered that this relationship was the cause of many of my personal problems. So, this events was important to me because my sanity is essential for living better and I'm so happy to be out of that crap.

The bad things for me maybe doesn't so bad actually. For example, one of the bad things of this year was I reaffirmed that Santiago and its stress isn't for me.(It's a bad thing because that baffles my plans)
 I like the urban life: the lights, the movement, the partys and bla-bla , but  I don't know if I'm willing to sacrifice my  frame of mind for the stay here. This city is so competitive and rude, and I don't like this aspects and I don't wanna these in my life for any reason. (*rude in the bad sense. Since people here is aggressive with their peers and not with the things that really should be reactionary).

My final achievement for this year I hope to be edit the teaser of the final work of this semester, a project called "Femmes" developed with my classmates in which we have worked so hard.  :)

Let's talk about money




When you are young, the money isn't very important in your life.. or at least should be so. I think when you have kids or somebody that depends of you, the money is something that you must have present. The truth is I don't hate the money, but in any case I'm in love with this.

The money in my life is important for buy things like cigarettes, wine, load the card of Transantiago, some food and other stuffs of the everyday. Beyond these basic needs, I don't use a lot of money to live. ( Well, is very important the fact that my mother kept me, and I don't have a work). So, I never been a person concerned about the clothing brand, I don't even have a lot of clothes. I haven't exquisite culinary tastes neither, because my infancy was so pretty and modest, and although I never lacked anything my family is humble.
My non-affection with the money is something that I really like of myself. My future, my happiness  and my personal success doesn't depends to the money that I will earn. I think this ways of thinking is for stupid people, or boring and stingy people who can't take the life with the important and simple things. Well, the system is the guilty I think, and they just follow the stream.

If I were millionaire I'm not sure what I would do with my money, but I honestly would try to do something useful for society, something that made me feel less greedy. My teacher  JP Arancibia taught me a thing:
"A righteous man can't accumulate wealth" ...

...and one of my purpose in the life is to become in a wise and righteous woman :)

How Green are You?



The most things that I know about the environmentally and the recycle is for my mother. Honestly, in the school they never taught me about this topics. When I was there, they never taught me anything about the importance of the recycling. There wasn't even dumpsters which separating the garbage by the origin. Even Though, my mom is very conscious with the planet, and she separate the garbage and when it's accumulated we go to the supermarket and we deposit in the landfills by the material.

I don't have a car, but it's not important to me. I think I have all my life to move in a motor vehicle, especially when I'm older and probably I will not have wishes to use the public locomotion (because it's very poor quality in mi opinion). Today I use my bike when I must travel near of my house, but I live too far to the center of Santiago, so I can't use this transport always (actually, I'm not a sports person). I love walking when I can do it, so I use my legs as long as I have the opportunity.

I support eco-organization, but I haven't been in any group or something :( I thing my social action is in other activities and I prefer do environmentally practices lonely, in my house. I try to use less water and light, buy biodegradable products and throw the trash where it belongs.

I really think one way to help the environment is to start with yourself. If the people had any love for their places and for the city (especially in Santiago) all might be a little easier. According to me, the main cause of this big problem is that people are too selfish and insensitive to their own environment and they do not even care about future generations.

A piece of News



The last news I heard and got me thinking, was a story about how red wine could reduce the chances of lung cancer and even kills malignant cells.

The scientists responsible for the research came from Brock University and McMaster University in Ontario. They said in a study published in the journal "Cancer Cell International"  that the investigation conducted "in vitro" using cancer cells and even epidemiological studies indicate that red wine has anti-cancer properties. According to the study, this ability is attributed to red wine for being a rich source of resveratrol.
This news surprised me and I liked so much because I drink a lot of red wine, it's my favorite drink. Moreover, I smoke too much, then this article could benefit me. Many people believe that the study may be wrong, and the truth is that the news surprised me because it gave me a little hope in my life. Obviously I don't think drinking wine as stupid can save a lung cancer, but the news brought me happiness and I see a funny side.

On the other hand, looking at the serious side of this news, this is a discovery that may help many people who suffer from this disease, since lung cancer is a major cause of death worldwide.

I think most of the news I read talks about tips on how to improve our lifestyle. I also like the news that raise critical issues or report a problem or injustice.

My Future Job




I would like to specialize in script writing. For that, I feel like going to another country to study ... not necessarily, but to meet new people and stories. 
I really would like work as screenwriter or editor. The creation of histories and characters is my favorite area and I like the solitary jobs. Im very comfortable with myself and I think I work better in this way.  I concentrate much more (my concentration is better when I'm working alone) 

The aspects that I would consider for choose a job would be this one should leave me free time.  I like to do many things in the life, and this time is essential for me because I don't feel the work is the most important. Other aspect important to me is the job isn't too far of my home, because I hate losing time in the travel. I really hate that.  



If I would go to a job interview and they ask me for my strengths and weaknesses I would say:


- I'm a very responsible person. in many occasions my personality talks about a vague person, but the truth is I try to love the things what I do, for this reason is difficult for me make a poorly work.  
-  On the other hand, this characteristic becomes me in a person very passionate, and occasionally I only consider my own point of view, thinking in the best option. However, I also know listen to my coworkers, so just they could say to me and I understand.

My Best Friend


Is really harder talk about a best friend, because we meet a lot of people in the way and I personally have a friend list with the persons who have been in my days and I consider they are true friends :). Even so, I have a favorite friend, a girl who went deep inside my life and with whom always been in contact.

I met Barbara "Barby" in eighth grad. I actually remember the first time when I saw her. Was the first days of school and the teacher said we were sat in circle. I was sitting in front of her and she was sitting with open legs though she was wearing a skirt. I loved the attitude of this girl, and in the break I approached to her and spoke.

The years have passed and I see her every weekend. She is very good for parties and she is very drunk, like me, so we have many histories. This isn't the best, but one of my favorite memory of our friendship was when we went to the party of our friend Paty and when we got the home, all was quiet. We didn't know what is happening, then we knocked on the door and the dad of our friend said  she wasn't there, and the party will be the next Saturday. With Barbara felt very losers and stupids and we returned to the car and we laugh for a long time of this.


This is a old picture. We were in my 18 birthday and we were fighting. Maybe for what.
