English

I think that the English class at university are a good opportunity to us, because we can practice and develop  many skills with our language manage.
Over this class. I had could release myself in the act of think in the two languages and understand easiest conversations, books, films, songs, etc. In English. Now I have a lot of new vocabulary and this help me a lot for express myself better that before.
The blogs is one of the better English experiences in this class because it allowed me to perfect my grammar and to develop my communication in this language.
I have many aspect where I need to improve my English, for example I have a poor vocabulary in English, I would like know more words, because in many situations I have be without a words to say. And I also must to review  my grammar, because I have many doubts about how I must say the sentences and it is a bit annoying when I am talking with someone.
On the other hand, I think that this class takes up our spare time, time which we could spend in study or  rest of the exhausting week. 
In a normal day I don't use a lot the English, I only use this for magazines  like pitchfork and  nylon. Or when I listen music in English. 
I think that the English is useful in a globalized world. But an universal language like esperanto which is more simply and easiest to teach and to learn, Is a better option  to he problem of the communication around the world.

carbon footprint

Words like emviroment , ecology, pollution, emissions, climate change; are very frequent in our vocabulary but many people don't know many about this. because they don`t know many sources of information about this topics. the principal source of information is the internet, here we can to find a lot of  blogs and webpages dedicated to this things.
I recycle as much as possible. I recycle paper, carton and cans and also with the organic waste I make compost for my organic garden.
I prefer to use the bike or the roller skates, but I live far away from the university so I can`t go to there in bike o something similar and I must to use the metro and the bus, although I hate the metro and the bus.
I don´t joined or supported any eco-organisation, because I prefer to think and to act by myself, without an organisation which says what I must do or what is bad, also I think that the organisation make to its members less autonomous, creative and active.
I reduce my carbon footprint doing think like: use using bike for short trips, squeeze the natural light, I also have a garden whit many plants and trees, I recycle as much as I can and I am vegetarianand this reduce my carbon footprint because the meat industry produces a lot of pollution. 
Santiago need more information for the population and facilities for recycle and for use transport alternatives.

backwards

In the last years, I could make things which I really enjoy, like paint, take photos, play music with my friends or write. I also do things which make me feel a bit of freedom, for example the last year I had a underground editorial and we published some fanzines and books.
This summer I was more lazy because I only went to parks to take photos with my girlfriend or things like this. However I enjoyed that, we also went to Valparaiso two times and it was fun.
But in March I came to the university and my time was substantially less, and I have be more tired since this day.
This year I also do things like make some furnishing and draw random things in my sketchbook like buildings, portraits or animals.
One friend published his first book on a big publishing house, so I went to the presentation and it was very fun, I was really happy for my friend's achievement.
I hope can do more things and have more time, and don't lost all my youth in the classrooms. so In the rest of the year, I pretend make a big journey with my girlfriend and some friends, for this I had selling soyburgers to my classmates, I really hope can make this journey. I also pretend finish the oil painting because I only have the canvas.
I also will go to The Drums' show in Teatro Italia in November, I hope that it will fun.      

Pentax k1000

Pentax k1000 is an analog interchangeable lens camera, it use 35 mm film, it is a single-lens reflex (SLR) camera, manufactured by Asahi Optical Co. from 1976 to 1997.
this camera is one of the most populars of the history  and was used by photographers around the world for decades.
I use this camera since 2010, I think that the k1000 is a good camera for begginers in the photography, because have a simple operation. It have a photometer, which show If your picture have a good exposition, or if is underexposed or overexposed.
The use of the camera, can change the focus aperture and the exposition's time. Also you can choice the lens and the film which you like.
I generally use the k1000 with a kodak pro image film because the better films are too expensive, but the Pentax lents are so good and the pictures always are fine and with a rich contrast. I also have two lens for this camera one 50 mm that is the lens which i use more and one 75-200mm which i use for capture remote object.
Also the market have many options  of accessories like filters of colors uv and anthers specials, lens for all the moments, and a infinity variety of films back and white, red scale,   negatives, etc.
I love this camera because all that I know about photography I learned whit the pentax k1000.

life in the woods

I like do many things, maybe a good job for me could be something artistic, like an art teacher or designer. but I thing that the life in this society is a very hard and poor life. I would like go to the forest  whit somes books and make for myself a little house and cultivate and gather my own food. I could like recover my life and my freedom, I thing that this is the true happines an autonomous life. each day will be very gratifiying. The power process of satisfy my needs for myself give me a full life.

I love travel and know new places but with this live. I will have a conection with the nature and I do not have to travel more. I do not like the office`s job because it suffocates and steals the life, with a primitive live I pretend  breath clean air in the mornings, care my  growing and go for the forest looking for more food and feeling the nature in my feet. I will see and feel the nature like really is. Like described Thoreau in Walden  the diferent stations of the year  all the littles changes that now in the city I can't see.
I really want to have a life in the woods and be free all my days.

Lollapalooza

This year the March 29th and 30th in the Parque O'Higgins was the Lollapalooza and I think that this one of my best experiences in the life. 

Many band that  I love were there, bands like Cage the Elephant, Phoenix, Arcade Fire, New Order, Vampire Weekend and Pixies.  Phoenix is an alternative rock band from Versailles, that became famous because their track "Too Young" was included on the soundtrack for the movie Lost in Translation, Arcade Fire is an Canadian indie rock band founded in 2001 consisting of husband and wife Win Butler and Régine Chassagne and some friends and family members and my favourite band New order  are an English rock band formed in 1980 by the remaining members of Joy Division, following the suicide of vocalist Ian Curtis.

The atmosphere was very special. The  two day were very warm  but It didn't matter, because the music was amazing and I were with my girlfiend.  And we enjoyed very much the Festival, especially the Arcade Fire's staging, that was a religious experience the best of all the Festival. If Arcade Fire came back to Chile I would go to watch its thousandfold times. After we went  to New Order's show and it was a very emotional show, because they showed images of Ian Curtis the vocalist of Joy Division  the band that I most listened in the school times. 

I planing go to the 2015 version as long as I get the money.

Cartoons

When I was a child I didn' t watch a lot of cartoons, because I spent largely afternoon playing with friends.

But I sometimes watched Hanna-Barbera's cartoons like Huckleberry Hound,  The Flintstones, Top Cat or Yogi Bear, but my favourite cartoon ever is Hey Arnold!, I was really happy watching it, In this cartoon appear characters like Arnold the protagonist, Helga Pataki who love to Arnold  in secret; Gerald Johanssen the Arnold's best friend and the Arnold's gandpa (Phil) and grandma (Pookie). This series is about a boy who live with him grandparents in an american city and how this boy solved him problems in the school and about him friends' adventures. I really loved this cartoon because Ardnold's life was so amazing and he had the room that every would have. I entertained a lot when I washed  it, and until this day I remember things that happened in its episodes.

I don't think that cartoons are only for children, because the cartoons could transcend the ages and like to people of all ages. In fact until the present day I wash cartoons like Adventure time or Regular show.

France

The country which I would  to visit is France, because I would know all their places, visit the Alps, Lyon and Paris.
I really like the Paris' architecture I would take photos and draw  its buildings and monuments, to eat croissant all a day and go for a walk for the Champs Elysees. I like two french groups: Yelle and Phoenix, I would buy them vinyls, and almost buy the writings of Bernard-Marie Koltès a fantastic dramatist.

I know some of French because  have an aunt who lives in France, so I would like to visit her and to my little cousins. I would live in France but I prefer the Paris first arrondissement because is the city´s centre and all is near the Eifel tower and the Arch of triunph among other things, 

Irelly love this country altought I don't know many about its, but one of the thing who I would do in my life is live in France for some years and travel  for all her places.
