Sailor Moon

I remember a lot of cartoons I have seen in my entire life. For example, every Disney’s cartoons, Knights of the Zodiac (I was obliged to watch it, because of my brothers, but I liked it), The smurfs, Dragon Ball, He-man, The Flintstones, the Jetsons… and many others that I better don’t mention, because I would en tomorrow.

But if I had to choose one of all of them I would prefer Sailor Moon.

I made this decision because I watched it all the time. I was a little fan of these caricatures. I don’t remember very well how old I was when it was on TV, but I suppose I should have been 5.

I watched these cartoons with my two brothers –sometimes, because it seems to me they did not like it so much (at least not like I did)-. And, of course, I thought I was one of the characters: Sailor Mars (I think… I’m not sure).

The best thing about Sailor Moon was the fantastic characteristic of the plot. The super powers, the clothes they wore, the series’ song. Besides, there was an entire merchandising, which was one of the best things :D

Anyway, I keep very beautiful memories of my childhood. And, of course, I remember with special affection the cartoons I used to watch.

Places to go in Santiago

Well, first of all, I must say I really did not like when I knew we had to make a blog's homework during our vacation.If I had nothing else to do, I would not care... but the fact is this vacation (at least the first week) has not been what I supposed.

I´ve been full of works, reading materials and sources searching.

Ok. Let´s do it. The city I chose this time to talk about is Santiago. But I am not really going to speak about the city, but the places where some foreigner could visit in here.

I would recommend somebody to go to the historic and most important places, in my opinion, like La Moneda, the Museo de Bellas Artes, the Palacio de tribunales, etc.
If this person wanted to get fun, I would tell him/her to go for a walk around the mall (I don´t know, Mall Plaza, Arauco, some Portal), the theater, cinema or somethinglike that.

Otherwise, he or she can get funier going to a pub, maybe in Bellavista or Las Terrazas, or some discoteque.

After that, I mean, dancing and speaking, the most probable is they are hungry. The solution is to get to some place where they can buy food and drink. In this city there are lots of them. For example, fast food restaurants, like Mc Donalds, KFC, Gatsby (this one is one of my favourites) and many others.
Wherever you go in Santiago, there is food and drink.

The beautiful England

Ok. I like today’s work. This topic is something I wanted to talk about long time ago.

The country I would like to go is England (I’m not copying our teacher… It’s just a coincidence). I have always dreamt of living in that beautiful island. I remember –though this sounds a bit childlike- my interest increased when I read Harry Potter. Because on every book one could imagine the pretty landscapes that it described.

Besides, I like the language, English, since I was a little girl.

Well, I know general things about England. Some of history, literature, paintings, writers… although maybe what I know the most is about football -of course I am not an expert-. But I like the English footballers, especially one: David Beckham. I love him! (it’s a pity he is married).

To get back to what I was saying, I know too about the ancient culture of this country. Its beautiful places, monuments and other things. Also, on winter vacation I read a few pages of a book concerning United Kingdom (it has information about history, meals, tourist spaces, etc.), which I hope to finish on September.

However, when I finish my career, I’d like to study a postgraduate or a doctorate in Spain or England. After that, one of my biggest dreams is to work there (I wish on BBC).

Apart from it, I’d love to live in England, to drive on the left of the street (I really want to :P) and, of course, to improve my English.

But I don’t know, it is a long time until then…

Remembering last semester

The last semester I had some experiences in the university. I think everyone had them too. It’s not there is always something so new happening here, but sometimes there are episodes that one remember.

Talking strictly about the university, I had one subject in which I did what I like: work as a journalist. I made interviews to many people, like the member of parliament Carlos Montes. But respect this man, I must say the interview was not as I would like it was, because of him. I mean, he had not too much time, so it was shorter than I wanted. Anyway, I liked the subject because it is one in relation with the career I am studying.

Well, I learned more things about my future profession, above all, in the communication field (‘cause I had –and now too- subjects like “Interpersonal Communication”).

With my friends I spend a lot of time in the university, talking, laughing, going out, etc. We use to make many plans, but the most of them don’t become true… That happens because there are people who say “yes, I’m going”, but in the last moment they say “sorry, I can’t”. At least we got together on vacation (what a miracle!).

With my school friends I had contact by MSN, Facebook and phone. I just saw them when the term ended. That is the bad side, ‘cause the timetables don’t coincide.

I hope this semester is not so hard, because I have 7 subjects (too much for me :P)… By the moment I just want to be on vacation. After that, I wish the time goes fast and to finish the year in the best way.

The last post...

Well… This is the last post that I am going to do in this blog (I suppose… If we don’t have to use it on the next semester).

I’m gonna start from the beginning. When Miss Daniela told us we had to work and write in a blog, I thought “nooo, what a boring thing!”. That came to my mind because I had in my memory the experience of another blog in other subject (CFG) the last year. It has not been quite entertaining.

The thing is my perception regard to this blog changed. I have written about many matters, I have shown my point of view, the things I like, etc. Besides, I have known more about my classmates and their experiences, too.

This exercise (I mean, to write almost every Wednesday in the blog) has been an opportunity to put in practice our English and our skills thinking, writing and reading it.

Many times I have had to look up words I did not know or remember in the dictionary. I think it is, at the end, something good for us and for our learning.

I guess I have improved my English (and I hope it to keep getting better), so I suppose the blog’s idea was not so bad :P

Some advantages of blogging are those I wrote above. But the disadvantages may be the fact to have to stay at the university until 7.30, the cold, the rain sometimes, the tiredness… many things. But it’s worth the sacrifice.

To finish this post I want to say I hope we continue writing in the blog the next semester. It would be, again, a good tool to improve and perfect our English level.

Besides, I think we should continue with our teacher, too. Because I guess we have a very good relation with her and she teach us in an entertaining way.

Video games

Well, today I really don't know very well what to write. I am not a video games fun...

I did not want to talk about them. I wanted to speak about my favourite sport man or something like that. Any way, I have to do it.

I must admit I like to play video games, but I'm not a fanatic. I like those about Mario Bros. and his friends. I like it because it is fun and easy to understand. You have not to know a lot of techniques. You just must how to jump, how to turn to the right or left and how to go down :P

Specially I enjoy the games which you can drive and race. Though sometimes I get a little angry when I lose.

The ones I do not like for nothing are those about fight. I can not understand there are so much people who like them and, more over, play them!! This kind of game is too boring! (in my modest opinion). Besides, they are too violent.

I do not use to play video games very often. When I do it, it´s generáis with some friends or children. Although one of the last times I placed it was at the university… yeah, it may sound weird, and it probably is, but it was in the context of a class. I remember I had no idea how to play the game. I just pressed every controls… And it seems it worked, because I got the second place =)

Maybe I’m good playing, maybe not. It is relative hahaha

No, speaking seriously, I think I am good, but I’m not the best video game player (neither I want to).

A beautiful memory

Today I have to choose a photo… I thought it was going to be more difficult, but it wasn’t. I selected one in which I appear with my family, I mean, my mother and my two brothers.
I don’t really remember who took this photo, but I guess it was a little boy called José Tomás (he is like a cousin).

In the picture we were in our holidays. These were in Pelluhue… before the earthquake…
Well, of course you can see we are all posing. In front is my older brother, Tomás. By my side are my next brother, Mateo, and my mom, Lorena.

The day wasn’t so beautiful, because it was cloudy and the sun often disappeared. In the background you can also see the sea (which was cold, by the way).
The photo was taken in the afternoon. It was windy, so it wasn’t so hot, but neither too cold.

I like this one because I am with my family. Besides, it has an extra value for the reason that it was taken in Pelluhue just a week or so before it changed… Here I get a little “mamona” (I don’t know how to say it in English). I remember that village, my uncle’s house in there, the beach, the people… Sorry, but I am too sensitive :P
The place was lovely. I had been there many times. Now I hope to go there again… maybe on winter holidays. I would really like to.

But not every memories are so emotional. I really had very good moments there. I shared with the people I love (my mom, my brothers, my aunts and uncles, my “cousins” and other friends). And I know I will have many other memorable moments. I have no doubt about it.
