Post 12- The last one

I like english subject but I hate that this class be so early because in class I always be tired and I don´t think well when I`m tired. But  nevertheless, the class was grate, I had forgot many english word and grammar things, and the class help me to refresh it.
I don´t like too much the using of blogs because i don´t have time to write post and I am not a creative person when I´m tired, but believe it or not, I like this subject for giving me the opportunity to learn more words in English and helps me when I have to watch series, programs or movies that do not have captions and gives me the opportunity to speak with that funny accent one uses when he speaks English and is so funny, if only this talking nonsense or inventing words.
I think I need to improve my grammar, is what I'm more fragile and expand more my vocabulary, but for me it´s not at all difficult to understand when people talk  in English, the problem is when I have to respond. But I guess I'll keep watching and listening to music and watching series to learning more about this language.
I do not speak English a lot in my daily life,but I'm sure I'll be able to put into practice all my English Power when I go outside the country to travel araund the world, is just a dream, but it could happen, who knows, in a long shot

Post 9

Today I was  in Internet and I reaches an article that spoke of machismo in Saudi Arabia and I started to research this country and I found out that Saudi Arabia does not allow women to drive a car. And I learned as a woman, Manal Al Sharif was filmed herself driving and put this video of herself on YouTube, and only by doing this she was imprisoned in 2011, his brother was beaten, and his father, exposed to the public by the religious authorities Muslim hardliners.
Now this woman is released and is a champion of the defense of women's rights in her country.
Despite everything I went through, this woman is still actively working for women in your country be up-to wheel. Something that seems so common our reality and beyond has to fight.
And the worst part of this it is that there is not even exist a law prohibiting women from driving ,  it´s just a sentence imposed by the police religios who refuses to give his license.
And driving is just one of the many constraints faced by women in this country, which is governed by a strict interpretation of Islamic law, and reaches the point that women can not leave the country without a male relative .
That make me so angry and I can not finish the article and my investigation, I wish the thing would be diferents.

Post 7- The rainbow eucalyptus

This seems artificially painted eucalyptus , however its fascinating combination of colors occurs naturally in the bark , a feature that makes them one of the most amazing trees of the world. It's like a wonder of nature .
 The Rainbow eucalyptus can find mostly in New Guinea, New Britain , Sulaewsi and Mindanao. However, today this variety of trees is grown worldwide and is primarily used as pulp for paper.
The secret of its great color gamma is changing cortex, as you get older is changing hue , turning purple , green , orange and yellow .
By moving the bark annually, but at different times , green interior darkens to give blue , purple, maroon , orange , pink , ocher and many more as you can see in these pictures.
And last but not least , this beautiful tree can grow up to three meters in a year. Unfortunately this makes their cultivation to increase, and how I say before, it´s being use in large paper mills .
This trees seems to be really exotic but it's not very hard to find , they are almost as common as eucalyptus. Anyway, I have never seen one of these trees and they seem magical to me, as if they were not of this world.


just look at them, look like they were painted by a person


Post 6 - Theatre tikets so expesive

It isn´t a sorprise the expesive cost that theater  tiket have.  Theater  is very expensive and that it is because there is not funding for culture, and always takes a back seat in the political concerns. And people do not seem to realize the big price there is to pay to see a play, to the contrary, people used to the expensive cost that culture have, assuming the high price of theater.
The theater is going slowly being possessing  by elite and separating from the people. The theater is addition to lots of packaged cultures that we see these days and only a few can achieve. Consequently, the difference between prices is large and discriminatory. And not all people who enjoy going to the theater will be able to go because of the high prices.
This is a cause that reacts against street theater, because instead of people go to theaters to see the show, the theater go to  people, approaching many people who do not usually go to the theater or  people can not afford it.
In summary, there are people who continue going to the theater because they can afford it or they willing to take the  high cost of tikets, but if the theather continuous rising her price,  the public who is going to watch drama, it is going to be very selected, in other words, culture just to wealthy people.

Post 2 - My Dream

My ideal job would be designing scenography for a company that would have a lot of money for their shows. So I would design anything I want and I even have to thing how much that scenography cost. Would be really nice.
All things would be easier and that give me the chance to experiment with new materials and proposes. I could be really good in this job, any designer would be good, it´s like the american dream of the theatral designing. But I´m would be perfect to this job because I´m like the queen of expensive design.
But of corse this job doesn´t exist, at least in Chile. This is because in this country the theater is not a profitable industry as it is in Europe or Japan. So if I really want to follow this dream, I probably  would find it in other country and I would have to be a great designer for they will accept me.

Post 1 Term this year

The first term of this year was really exhausting because I had to take many new subject  and get used to share out my time beetween the study and my free time. In spite of that  It was a really good  start of the year. I taken swimming class so I learnt how to swim in many diferents way even the buterfly style (I really proud of my for the las one).
There weren´t many problems in the begining of the year, I mean, there were, but the half of this problems were invented for me. I´m so dramatic and I can not exist without drama in my life.
Now when I thinking about the first term of the year I realize that I´m full of great memories about that and the I know the second term of the year gonna be a lot worst that the first at least at the university, but I hope learn more and do many new things.

Post 11- Year 2013: Good & bad points

I think this year was strange, full of change and new experiences. I was really busy and the university consumed and still consume all my time, and I don`t like that. I love this career and I enjoy doing works but it's weary and I would like to do other thinks, maybe leave Santiago for a couples days, enjoy my weekend doing nothing, but I can not because the university.
In spite of  the year was good, some days all that I want was kill someone or leave the university, but most of the time I laughing a lot, a learn many things, know many new places and people. And I think that it is the more important at the end of the day, I always be stressfull so the only thing I can do it is enjoy the little and big good moments of the live.
Thinking about this year and be the end of this, make me sad because it was a great year and really diferent of the rest, but and the same time I´m glad to begin a new year full of energy because I realy need a breack to the university, and my back too.
Best of all is that on the new year and it is my favorite holiday, because there are lots of food, drink and dancing, plus all the people are happy, and  also starts a new year  that I hope will bring many new things and be much better than this

Post 5 - Penal Cordillera

 Today in the news paper I read something that really bother me. Actually I read many things that distub me, but the worst of thath was about Penal Cordillera and the benefits that prisioners have.
In there have to stay ex soldiers that kill people in the dictatorship, I mean, men that comite a serious crime against a whole country. Seems to be a good thing that this men be in prision, but the problem is that Penal cordillera doesn`t look like a prision, it is more like a vacation cabin. The prisioner have to wake up 8 o'clock and they can do their  breakfast by them selfs. And there are more, they have to play tennis 2 hours at day, they have their own bathrooms and there are not  punichment cel or isolation cel. The prisiones can move free arount the place and they be sorrounded by green areas. This sounds like a prision? not for me.
I think that is really unfair for the victims that the prsioners spend their days having a good life,in comfort and not being punish for their crime. The prisioners would must be in a real prision with the others killers, without privileges obey their sentence.

Post 4 - The fishes will conquer the world

The other day in the web I  read an article about fish and their memory. In the entry, scientists had discovered that the fish memory goes on 5 months. We have always thought the fish have a bad memory but is not true. In fact, they can still remember the fish that attacked them even a year after .
Fish have been look down on and people usually think they are one of the most silly living creatures that exist, but the fish are more complex than what we think. One of the things that I read in this article that caught my attention is that fish are capable to recognize their environment. They can know where is their food and where there are dangerous zones and the escape route.
I love fish and I'm happy people can know that fish are capable to do many things, not just swimming and eating.
And maybe when the fishers can't catch anything it is not because the fish sold out or because they are gone, maybe it's because they just don't fall in the trap.

Post 3- Turkey

If I have to choose just one country to visit would be Turkey. I don't know why exactly, I just want to.Turkey is so different to Chile in all areas, the culture principally, and that seem me really interesting. Some people there have  monkey, and it's not inusual find with camels in the middle of the beach.I never been there, but for what  I know Turkey  have a beauty exotic landscape, many palace and of corse mosques.When I going to Turkey I'll visit every market that I'll see, and I will taste all the spice food. I'll go to the beach every afternoon and go for a walk too meet new places and citys. I would like to live there and work too. In Turkey have a completly diferent view of the life and the world, so I supose in the theather must be the same and I think would be an amazing experience. But I don`t imagine my entyre life in there, because I would like to travel around Asia and know more about this oriental culture, but would be nice have a house  in there to come back whenever I want.
