:(

This was very funny (at moments) , especially when i had to write about something i liked because it was very easy to try to write about something i normally talk about, but in english. The moments i don't liked it very much was when i haved exams or a lot to do for others asignatures and when the topic to write about it was not one i liked, for example the post about the buildings. But i really enjoyed to talk about corgis or my favourite concerts, things that i like a lot but i've never had the chance to write.
I have no favourite blog, i think i just read it all, but no one took a lot my attention, of course there was interensting posts sometimes and others that talked about things i had no idea ever existed.
Personally i think the blog thing is really helpful to practise english, it was for me, because i never had the chance to expres myself this way in english. Anyway the worst blog of all was the one of tomas porras, that blog is really boring.

i'm gonna miss to write a blog :(

a tv show

i grew up in the decade of the 90's, with 3 tvs in my house, a cable connection and two younger brothers, so yes, i watched a lot of tv series. The one i will talk about is not my favourite or the most i watched, but i really liked a lot this show, i'ts kenan & kel, two black guys hilarious as hell. Seriously, they were really really stupid and overreacted, i think this is the reason why i loved this show. Everytime me and my brothers watched it we can't stop laughing.
This serie is basically about two friends and the family of one of those guys, kenan. Both are very different from each other. Kenan lives with his parents and his younger sister, his fat and grumpy. His friend is Kel, skinny, stupid and the best character in the serie. They worked in a little store of his town. Basically the story is that, there is no other main topic or a very deep meaning, is just for fun. This show was on air in Nickelodeon (now Nick), then i don't know what happened but i never saw it again on TV, until monday! i was zapping in my house and i found Nick@nite, a channel with some of the old series of Nickelodeon. In that moment i remembered how much i loved that show, and maybe thats the main reason to make a post about kenan & kel

this is a video of kenan & kel trying to make a cake lol

of course school kills creativity

About Robinson's video, i agree completely with him, he talks about something we all noticed sometimes and its that school is a massive machine of production; the product of this is people less curious and creative, because "they" don't want people asking questions, or people giving up school, or people following their dreams. They want people who pay taxes, people who love and protect the country they live in and get the fuck out fucking inmigrant. We are a little piece of the system that works for their interests, we just don't care about our community, the things we love to do, there is just not enough time for doing the little things we like because i have to do homework, because my teacher said that if i do this my way, is wrong, only that way is accepted and blablabla, boring stuff. My vision of this is more like a conspiracy system, its about nations and war. I know Robinson point is one more simple and maybe more "local", but is just that everything starts there, in schools.
I remeber my brother when he was younger, he was so hiperkinetic, running all the day, playing games alone, doing "ugly" drawns (he never learned to paint inside de landmarks, always like a mess), we never undterstood was he was writting cause he has a shitty ortography, and obviously, he never get 7's. The psychologist gave him pills to "calm down", and then my brother changed a lot. He was just not only "stupid", also he was like sleepy every time. He started having nightmares, and cry a lot.
We stopped the pills treatment and then we tried to have more patience with him. Now he's twenty, he is not hiperkinetic at all and the university goes fine (he is not the best student but who cares) and i must say he is the person more conscient i know, he do only what he likes, reads a lot, help people, care about homeless people and kids and fights the system. Really, like with rocks and barricades, i do not agree very much because he's always in danger lol, but is his desicion and i do don't how i ended talking about my brother, i just admire his simplicity and regret all the times we tried to changed him (his the younger member of my family).

I know this video is not completely about the inicial topic, but i think all this is connected, this is the shok doctrine (a must see)

a building

i declare myself a complete ignorant about this topic, i really know nothing about buildings, geography and space, so i couldn't talk in an academic way of the subjet, just impressions of "something nice", and thinking about buildings the only one i remember i liked was one i visited in school, i really liked it and every time i visit that place again, a lot of memories came back. Is the building that now is the Artequin Museum. This building is now in Quinta Normal, and as i said, a Museum, but this building have a lot of history, this building was not even built in Chile, actually was in France in 1889.
The purpose of this building was represent Chile in a exposition made in France (i don't remember exactly about what was the exposition about). After this they unmade the building... weird, and then traveled in a ship to Valparaíso an then to Santiago.
Here in Santiago the building was a lot of things, always in the way of exposition and museums, but finally in 1992 officially the building is named Artequin.
The Museum is not a big deal at all, is full of photographic reproductions and videos of contemporary art. The thing that i like the most are the colors, the windows, the stairs, i don't know exactly, but is nice and full of memories

A piece of art

I will write about an art piece made by Alphonse mucha in 1986 and it’s called” four seasons”, this art work was the first set of decorative panels that Mucha made, and it was by far one of his most famous and characteristic art pieces.
This iconic work was one of the precursors of the art noveau style; this painting shows a group of four women, each one of them represents a season. Each panel is different yet similar. Above each one of the panels are the flora of each season in bloom. The maidens differ also as their hair color and styles. One with hair of brown, red and blonde brings about the feeling of the seasons that Mucha has displayed.
Mucha went on with his style and changed the world of art with the classical and ethereal drawings and paintings he created. His style is inspiring a lot of the modern graphics arts, its like a revival of the art noveau
I personally believe that mucha's work is amazing and original; the vivid colors, the mix of these colors, the beautiful drawns, the shapes of the women. He is by far my favorite nineteen century artist.

Review : BBC Learning English

I've never had visited this website before, and i must say is very helpful to those are not yet very familiarize with english speaking. Its a super friendly website, with different sections and so much to do. The one that catched me was the quizzes section, especially the crosswords. They have this game and different topics to answer and learn about. I have to say it was not so easy the first time, because there are many words that i realized i didn't know at all, for example how do you name animals sounds (the sound that make the monkey, or a rat). In the same section you can found "Beat the Keeper" a game that have a lot of topics and characters that might be related to other sections of the website, i didn't understand this very much. I played the game and actually it's easy to play, i think its about typical english phrases or something like that.
 The thing i didn't "love" about the website is the design, i think is very 2000´s, websites are not like those anymore, they should re-design the website to make it more fun to see, it gives me the impression is a newspaper webstie or something very serious. Anyway i will recommend this website to my young brother or little cousins, because its perfect for ages between 12 and 18 i think.

A concert

I had go to so many concerts! I'ts a hobby to me, and i really spend lots of money on that, no regrets, because i have seen my favourites band of all times, Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead, Animal Collective, Interpol, Toro y Moi, Phoenix, Mogwai, among others. But the concert i enjoyed the most (maybe because is the last i went) was Grizzly Bear. They played 3 months ago in Buenos Aires, Argentina. From the moment i noticed that they was not coming to Chile i told my boyfriend (he loves them too) that we must go. We saved money for two weeks, just for the bus tickets. Afortunately i had a friend that lives in Buenos Aires, so he could accept us in his house. But we had nomoney for the concert tickets :( in that moment we almost give up. In my desesperation i wrote an inbox to the Grizzly Bear Facebook page, and guess what... the vocalist answered me! he told me that me and my boyfriend where on the guest list of the show, he gave me his cell number and we talked a little.
The day of the show went all perfect, the show was oniric an the band sounded so much better live than the studio version. That improvised trip to Argentina is one of the things i'll never forget, i always smile when i remember that day.

puppy's favourite beach : la herradura

Hi guys, in this post i'll talk about my favourite beach of all time, i say "of all time" because i visited so many beaches. My father is from Coquimbo, he always enjoyed swimming and always carried us (me and my brothers) to beaches you can swim in. Some of the beaches or lakes i've been in are "Playa negra", "amarilla", "El Sol", "Salinas", "Acapulco", "Maitencillo","Pucón","4 esquinas" and many more i didn´t remember now. Well, my favourite is one from my father's natal city, Coquimbo, La Herradura, and the reason i love it it's because i didn't enjoy so much sunbathing or walking, i love to swim, i could spend all day in the water swimming in the deep. My father taught me to swim since i was a child. So this beach it's perfect for swimming, really quiet, the water is so clean and blue, the temperature is perfect. The only thing i hate is that you can find some really disgusting crabs or jellyfishes around, yuk.
I had not been there in so much time, when i was younger i had visted that beach one or two times pear year, now i bearely rememeber that times :(
And thats all, i hope you visit this beach someday, if you like swimming it's the perfect beach for you.

a photograph

The photograph i'm going to show you is from last summer. It was the last weekend of vacations, me and my boyfriend were so sad because the summer was ending and didn't want to back to class. So we decided to go to La Campana! is a kind of ¿mountain? i guess, is a very big place with so much stuff to do : climbing, walking, camping. We decided to camping the day before, so we did it all in the last minute. Get some clothes, food from our houses, ask for money and that was all.
The trip was so improvised and really nice, just us in the woods, his guitar, the books we where reading, a bottle of vodka and one of tequila (we really enjoy drinking). Was a weekend very romantic and we got closer, we talked a lot.
This photo was when we met two friendly dogs that lived there, and were a really good company. We named them "Abuelo" and "cejitas locas", i never going to forget them :'( i actually take pictures of all dogs that i met in trips, they just ask for some food and give so much love and company, dogs are the best.

puppy's free post

Today's post is about music, but not the music i like in general (that would be a really long post). Its about a musician, writer and composer : Chad VanGaalen.
 The first time i heard Chad's music was like four years ago, i was reading a blog and then an amazing  video appears, it was his first single "Molten Light", the sensation that gave that song (and the video as well) i would compare it to a dream that i had, a dream were i was a an old lady gardening in the backyard of his castle in the mountains, weird. After that i downloaded his LP inmediately, all the disc is awesome, and the songs were all composed, produced and recorded by him in his house. My favourite one is TMNT Mask, the beats are amazing and i would dance it anywhere. Another song of that LP that i love is Willow Tree, the second single, its more quiet but really good.
 The last disc was released on 2011 and its called "Diaper Island", i don't think this one is the best of his career but anyway is really really good and the videos are so good, Chad has an own graphic style for all the stuff that he makes, i'll show some shots of his videos.

puppy's ambition

I have too many dreams and ambitions, for example : to ride a dolphin, visit finland, cross the world in a balloon but none of this dreams compares to the biggest and stupid ambition i have, to own a corgi.

Corgis are the most beautiful and cute animals in the world, they are super friendly and smarts. Is a type of hering dog that originated in Wales, the most common type is the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. 

The first time i saw one was in a Park near my house, it was love at first sight. I asked the owner of the dog all the details (they are really expensive dogs) and he let me hold the dog in my arms!! Then i never saw him again, but because of that day i'm obsessed, i have a file in my computers desk full of pictures and videos of corgis, every time i see the pictures my love for Corgis grows. Make a corgi my fulltime friend someday may sound silly, but my love for pets it's kind of stupid, i really can't explain why is so important, i let you some pictures if anyone doesn't know corgis yet.

puppy's must read

Diary, a novel 
by Chuck Palahniuk

The first time i heard about Chuck Palahniuk was in Fight Club, a movie directed by David Fincher. This movie is an adaptation of Chuck's Palahniuk novel "Fight Club". The film is just perfect, the characters are all sick and was an invitation to read all the books of this autor.
Palahniuk is novelist and journalist, and the book i'm going to recommend of him is a novel he wrote on 2003 called "Diary (a novel)". The story (sick as Fight Club) is about a girl and and a turistic island. The girl's name is Misty and she works in the hotel of the island. Her husband is in a coma after he tried to kill himself, so he writes a diary about all the sad and sickness that happens in the island while he's sleeping. The book himself is the diary of Misty, who is an frustrated artist and leaves is potential career to follow his love to an island that pretends to be an oasis but in the narration of Misty we can realise about the sad place that really is. Weird stuff happens in the island and is connected to the suicide of Misty's husband, her paintings an the Hotel, the island is a nightmare itself.
 I read it last summer and i like it because a thing that makes me love all Palahniuk's books that i can't describe exactly, maybe is his style of writting or maybe his characters are always so depressed that makes me feel better, i don't know why.
