I remember my first English classes; I’ve learned colors, fruits and parts of the house during three consecutive years in primary school. When I change from school the level of English increased and it wasn’t difficult to me to reach it. It always has been easy for me to learn English, and I’ve always liked it too. I enjoyed singing famous songs in English classes, making plays and videos, and I remember once we even had to make a poem. I used to like it, until it turned boring since 3rd year of secondary. Last year, at level three at the university I used to write about some of my feelings, I think I just wanted to get that out of my chest. Anyway, I like to learn and practice English, but particularly this year I had serious problems with the schedule, and to wake up on time every day to go to classes, not just to arrive early, but to assist. It’s a shame. I like writing on a blog, a lot, really, because it’s funny to write in English about some topics I like to talk about, it’s like another way to express some ideas, but sometimes I am just not in the mood, I don’t know why, but I just don’t want to do it.

I think I should improve my reading comprehension in English, and the same in listening, because I know how to express myself, but it is difficult to me to understand others when they talk in English. It’s weird, but I feel weak in those aspects. One way to improve those aspects is watching movies and tv shows with the audio and subtitles in English.

These days I am using English in common expressions but wrong written like: jaguaryú, gudnait and ameising, like they sounds to me.

It’s important to keep in mind the sense of what do you want to say when you talk in another language, and even the pronunciation is important to don’t get misunderstood. 

What do you want from me 2014?

For me this year started really bad emotionally, I was much stressed and that keeps me far from everything that was happening. But I also had enjoyable trips and over the months I could realize why I used to have time to do all the things for the classes and now I haven’t, that means: something new appears on my itinerary (which also means: less time for sleeping).

This year began so weird, I was at some lost town at the New Year’s Eve with my whole family, and a terrible radio signal, with any clock at my uncle’s house and all the cellphones with different times. We didn’t noticed when it happens, the oldest were dunked, my cousins were bored, and suddenly somebody screamed (I think my mom) that we were late for the hugs. Other said that we still had two minutes left. We never knew what time really was, so we didn’t care and raised glasses in that uncertain time.  

In January I finished the filming of my documentary (but the editing is not ready yet) and had time for existential problems.

Then in February I went to the beach for a week with my friends from school and had our second spiritual retreat, but it was less spiritual than the last time, shame on us. A week later I went to The End of the World with my parents and sister, I mean, we flew to Punta Arenas and travel around there for two weeks.

In March we started university a week earlier than usual and didn’t have much work until April, when my sleepless life started. Since then, many things have happened, meet new people, musical shows, hang out with friends…

Any time I dedicate more time for friends and university and less for my family, I probably should mend fences. 

Sailor Moon

This is going to be hard for me; I’ve never seen any TV show or TV series because since I was a child my mother didn’t let me watch TV and even when I did, because on weekends I woke up earlier than my parents to have the TV for my own, I didn’t put many attention for what I was watching, so those series wasn’t very relevant for my life. That’s why today I am so out of touch with television. But the cartoon I remember most is Sailor Moon because I believed I was fan of it at four years old, even when I didn’t watch the entire show.

This anime serie is based on a manga from 1992 and started transmissions in the same year on TV Asahi in Japan. The animation was managed by the studio Toei Animation.

There are a lot of seasons and different steps of the plot, but I think I watched just the first one.  In this first season, appear the 5 classical sailors in fight with the Dark Kingdom. The protagonist is Usagi Tsukino, better known for me as Serena, who turns into Sailor Moon. The mission of Sailor Moon is to find the Moon Princess whom she is sworn to protect while protecting the world. In the way she finds allies in the mysterious masked man and the other four sailor girls. It’s a great TV serie for girls, dreamy little girls who want to save the world.

Thanks mom for not letting me watch TV.

The sustainable conscience is missing

I do want to recycle anything that’s possible, but I think that if I keep enough things to go to a recycling point every month I will turn my house into a trash hill, and do it weekly is kind of impossible with my timetable. So there’s always a part of the trash I could recycle but I don’t because of time.

I have to confess that I could ride my bike every day to the university, I don’t live so far from here, but I am lazy and I am afraid to be run over by a bus or a car, because in Macul Avenue there aren’t cycling ways to ride safe, so I take the bus every morning and every evening. Even in other occasions I use the car to transport those filming stuff from the university to the location, it’s very difficult to me to use a nice with the environment transport.

I had the opportunity to join some eco-organization from other faculties of this university, which are not very far from here, but I don’t have enough time for all  the things I do already, I don’t believe I could get more time to do anything else.

I would like to make time to recycle more, I don’t even know how grey is my carbon footprint, I haven’t cared about it yet. I would like to join an eco-organization and do something more about it, because it’s about the city we are living in, the whole world is contaminated and the sustainable conscience is missing.

I will make this post later...

We are the best!

http://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/apr/17/we-are-the-best-review

The article I have chosen is about a Swedish film from 2013 directed by Lukas Moodysson. This is: We are the best!, adapted from the novel "Never Goodnight" by Coco Moodysson, the director’s wife.

It talks about the plot of the film, three 12-years-old girls forming a punk band in 1982. Mira Barkhammar as Bobo is the leader of the band, the guitarist is performed by Liv LeMoyne and the pretty face is interpreted by Mira Grosin. Those three girls complement each other on the group, we watch in the movie their day-to-day lives around forming this band. What’s funny about the movie is that those three girls never had the discussion about what their band’s name is going to be. Also this film is about children playing to be adults and how badly they make it. The article also mentions that this motion picture is entertaining and real.

It says that it could be like an autobiographical film in the sense that the couple seems reflected in the screen about their own teen rebellion. 

After reading this article I badly want to watch this movie, so there is another film for my torrent downloads list. Because this is a kind of movie that doesn’t arrive to Chile at the commercial theatres and it’s hard to find it too at cinema clubs. 

All those girls went to Prom

A memorable party was my graduation, three years ago. It was at the Stadio Italiano on December 22^nd from 19 pm to 5 in the morning of the next day. I went there with all my friends from secondary and we shared one big round table for dinner. That time was the very first time I’ve attended to a formal party, and it was very funny and stressful at once to look for a dress and shoes for that night, but it was very easy for me because my grandmother received a pretty nice purple dress that was kind of what I was looking for and it only cost to me $20.000 pesos. I’ve never handle any type of high heels so I wore sneakers, it was even more comfortable for dancing all night.

This party was very important because it meant the end of school period, there are so many people from school that I haven’t seen since that time. It was the last time for me and my friends to have one activity in common and after that we all make our own different ways. Now we almost only meet for birthdays parties.
