My experience as a blogger

Well, I am not able to talk very proudly about this time blogging, because I delayed a lot L However, at the beginning I thought this would not be very funny, but now I am sure that it was just because I am quite lazy hahaha. After writing all these posts, I discovered something new. I discovered writing. And more important, I discovered writing in English.
In High school’s English class I used to write a few phrases in test or in classes, but nothing very important or interesting, just exercises. Now I wrote about things I actually like, and at the same time I improved my English writing and thinking with fluency, in a way I have never thought before!
Also I met better my classmates, and knew a bit more which pleasures they have.

Thinking about more themes for blogging, it come to my mind things like which things I like of a person, which sport I like or I would like to practice, who is my favourite historical person, and others like that. I think this was a great idea, and I hope to a lot of people do it in future!  

A person who i admire

The person who I am going to talk about it is my social sciences’s teacher from Centenario School in Temuco: Ana María Castro Mosler.
She is a woman about forty years old, married with two children, and a teacher of my high school since like ten years. Unfortunately I don’t have any photo of her, she doesn’t like it too much.

She was my teacher since eighth grade, in two thousand and eleven, to fourth high, in two thousand and fifteen. In all those years she taught me history, geography, sociology and research methods. She is a very learned woman, smart, and a very good teacher. Also she is a very loving and likeable person. She is probably the person who convinced me to study Law in the college were I am studying now, University of Chile. She made me believe in mi skills and supported me in almost all the high school. I really don’t know what I would be doing now without her. She marked my life.

The music i like

Actually I have a taste in music very varied, but the predominant kinds are the electric and Brazilian music. I like very much the electric music because when I listen to it, I feel like I am the only person in earth, like I am traveling to some magic place and also because when I listen to, the only thing that I care of is to dance like there is no tomorrow. I like the brazilian music, because is so happy and transmits a joy so big to the people, when I listen to it I imagine like I am in Brazil and I love brazil is so beautiful and the people is so kind and happy. I started listen to electric music last year, when my friends show to me some song of that kind. And I started listen to Brazilian music in the year two thousand fourteen when I travel to brazil for my fifteen birthday. Mi favorite electric musician is Avicii the pseudonym for Tim Bergling, who has twenty six years old and live in Sweden, and my favorite Brazilian musician is Guttavo Lime, tho has twenty sex years old and live in Brazil. I only have been in one electric concert, which it is actually an electric musical festival named Creamfields, I went there in the year two thousand fifteen with my brother. And I never have been in a Brazilian concert but when I travel to Brazil I listen a lot of streen musicians


Booooks!

Finally i arrived to the best post of all! I cant say that i am a book-glutton which have read about all, but i really like reading. My passion for books started when i was very young and my mom used to read to me and my brother short adaptation from storys like The Odyssey and The three musketters. Then she gave me my first book, or at least the first i remember: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, from Joanne Rowling. Everyone know the story, so it’s not necesary to talk about it. But the the point it’s that in that momento started a very important part of my life.
I like books of a lot of kinds, usually the same as movies, like historical and legendary ones (Iliad, greek myths in general), some horror ones (everything of Edgar Allan Poe), some of Gabriel García Márquez (One hundred years of solitude, Memories of my melancholy whores) and many others like The Karamazov Brothers, The count of Monte Cristo, and SteppenWolfe. But my favourite kind it’s definetly fantastic and magical, like Artemis Fowl.

I don’t have a favourite book, but a lot which i like! Actually i am reading Frankenstein, and it´s starting to get exciting!

Series which i like!

In my whole life i have liked a lot of series, in REALLY almost all the styles. Series from The fairly oddparents to Breaking Bad, from The Simpsons and Naruto to Bones, and also chilean series like El reemplazante and Sudamerican Rockers; but my favorite serie it’s definetly Sherlock. It is an british and current adaptation from the original books from Arthur Conan Doyle, with Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Watson. They are private detectives who solve the most rare criminal cases. It is very intense, quite funny, really interesting, it’s amazing!
I usually enjoy series like this one, with a good and smart story, with a lot of surprises and suspense. Like Breaking Bad and Lost, for example.

I have heard a lot of good comments about a new serie called Stranger Things, mostly from my girlfriend, so i am thinking in starting watching it with her. It could be a good way to kill time, with her.

My favorite photograph

I took this photo in the Torres del Paine. In this photo you can see a condor flying over a part of the Torres with its rocky soil and texture, its cold weather and its precipitations in snow. This photo I took it when I traveled for my birthday with my brother and my father in the year two thousand fifteen in the vacation of September. I like it because it’s a very beautiful photo that it shows one of the most amazing places located in our country, with a very wide latitude, which justifies its variety of landscapes and climates, where you can see the most arid desert of world and places where it rains all the days of the years, the country that I was talking about is Chile. I like very much because i took the exact moment of a condor flying near to me, in all it's glory.

My favourite movie

I think probably my favourite movie it is 8 mile, the movie about Eminem’s life. It address about the racism and hate in United States in de 90’, specifically in Detroit, but this time from black people to the white ones. I don’t remember very much about when I saw it for the first time, but I think it would be like 8 years ago.
Generally I like movies of suspense, historical, some dramatic and a few funny ones.
The last movie I saw it’s Marguerite, a French movie about a bad singer who has a lot of money so everybody tell her she sings nice, and then she want to be professional. I think it is a good movie, but not great. It’s also a few ridiculous, and I don’t like that kind of movie.
I think people in general should open his circle of movies and watch more films that which brings the big cinemas, and for this there are important the little cinemas, form college for example.

I hope you to see good movies, and talk of them soon!
 

My favourite piece of technology

I have liked a lot of objects along my life, like some books, my watch, and a bag. But most of all, i prefer my basketball ball. I got it when I had 15 years old, when I was in school, and I have lived a lot of moments with it, some sad and others happy so it is very important for me. Before college i used to play with it every day in matches and practice, but now it is old and worn-out, and i just use it sometimes. I think my life wouldn’t be very different without it, because it is technically a ball like any other. But my ball represent a lot of important things for me so I just love it. 

Why i chose these career

Since I was a child I was sure about I like sports. So I used to dream about playing basketball or soccer and being professional. Then I knew how difficult is it to be at that level, so I started to think in other options. I started to read a lot, and I have always liked history, so I get interested social sciences. Finally when I had to apply for a career, I chose Law in University of Chile, then Law in other universities, journalism in University of Chile, P.H. in the same college, and finally geography in University of La Frontera, in Temuco, where I came from.
But above everything I preferred Law. Because I like defending and idea with reasons and logic, and because of college’s fame and prestige.
Until now college has been great. A lot of good people, good feeling, and great environment. The only disadvantage it’s that I am from Temuco, and that city is smaller, so the travels are shorter. Here everything is lengthy.

I’m just starting these career, so I still don’t know too much about it, but I want to do it soon!
