The end...

Well, I must admit a lot good things about my blogging experience. First: Before the class level 3 I didn’t have a blog and I didn’t know how used it, and now I believe to know the basis aspect of this technological instrument. Second: the different topics were interesting for me, this helped me for I’m motivated and can to write in English. Third: I learn a lot the different vocabulary and too I could use words hat I had learned in level 2. Fourth: I consider that comment the classmate’s post I permit me practice writing, and reading comprehension.

But too my blogging experience have bad things: First: I often I don’t finished my post and this situation caused me frustration and it is very unpleasant. Second: And this is a personal opinion: the class were something individualizing, because the principal idea was finished blog and comment only writing, so we interacted more with the computer that with the classmate. Third: About the teacher’s corrections… I had liked have writing corrections, because I don’t remember all the thing that I’ll have exchange.

I don’t have winter holidays outside the house, I prefer being in a place where I can sleep, wake up and go to bed later, without nobody saying to me things. If I had more time on my vacations I would like to go to different places in the south of Chile such as: Chiloé and Dichato.
This two places are very interesting for me. I like Chiloé because it is a place very mysterious, its architecture and its houses are very simple, the wood is the basic material for their construction and the wood is very good for protect the cold. The landscape is attractive, because it is a island with hills not much altitude, too this island have a lot vegetation… Other good thing the Chiloé is the handicraft, because the “chilotes” uses wool, the wool is an excellent material for the winter, is very warm. The persons that lives here are very warm, it situation is great, specifically when someone For all previous I would go Chiloé.
For other hand, I could go Dichato, for different reasons: first, because although you don’t believe this place was very beautiful before the earthquake, its beach is calm… if you are under stress with the finish the semester you would go…

And I will continue more late...

A simple photography...

I don’t know the name’s photography, I don’t know who took it and neither when it the photo was take. But I know that it is in contemporary dance website, because I found here. Since that I saw this I liked, but I’m not sure that it is my favorite photography.

This image isn’t sophisticated, because the photography is in black white and only has one figure. It shows a woman, I can to suppose that she is a contemporary dancer for how she dresses. She wears a black trousers and a shirt, she don’t have slippers. Her position is unusual, is very difficult… she is balancing all her body in only foot, she even have her extended left foot… her other leg is up. The most impressive is her body control, because she proves to have good elongation overcoat in her back and neck.

What does she try to express with this movement? What kind music is she listening? I don’t know exactly. But I imagine what she is expressing a strong emotion while she listen a music with a slow, wide and marked rhythm. Maybe she like to liberate a problem by dance. But if she is marching with exaggerated pace? What think you?

I like very much the photos in black white. It isn’t the exception. When I see this kind the photos I think that the contrast the color is interesting, it without consider the image.

Momo...

The last book I was read is “Momo: or the strange story about the thief the time and the girl that returned the time to humans. It was a 3 month ago in my summer vacations. This book was write for Michael Ende in 1973. He is a surrealistic painter German.
Momo is a novel that relate the story the Momo a girl that don’t have a age, family. She live in a amphitheatre with chairs, table, and other things that her neighboring had gave with a way the to reward the Momo’s company. This girl have a special talent, she know to listen the personal problems.
Other characters are Gigi and Bepo, Momo’s friends. Gigi is a tourist guide and Bepo is a street cleaner. Momo, Gigi and Bepo are persons that play with boys and girls, they used the time in to do activities that the adult consider ridiculous. In this book, the adults had sold them free time, because the grey man save this time in a bank. The adults don’t know that this time is use for to preserve the grey man’s live. How the persons don’t have free time, they are very aggressive.
In a part the story, Bepo, Gigi and children don’t have a free time… and only Momo have free time. She decide to look for the bank where are the free time and to release this...

(to be continued)

If I’m right, the last movie I saw was “Don Juan de Marco”. It was thee week ago, before going to Dichato. I saw the film in the night with my sister while we ate some snacks. It was directed for Jeremy Leven who is a clinical psychologist. In the film mainly participate Marlon Brando, Jhonny Depp and Faye Dunaway. The film to be about the story the a young man, interpreted for Depp, who dressed and acts as “Don Juan Tenorio”, for this reason he is admitted in a psychiatric clinical. Here the young is attended for a prestigious psychiatric (Marlon Brando), he have 10 days for to diagnose the mental illness. During of the therapy, the character interpreted for Depp talks about his ways the to captivate women and the doctor begins to practice some of the adventures of his patient for to improve his marriage.

This film has many implicit messages, for example, it tackles a relationship between the doctor with his patient that is different from traditional, because the psychiatric forget the distance that he must to preserve with his patient. In this sense, I recommend to students of psychologist see the films… and who knows, maybe when they are psychologist they’ll avoid this situation.

If you like the music of Brian Adams, in the film appears one of his most famous songs: “Have you ever really love a woman? And personally I don’t like the lyrics, but I like instrumental accompaniment.

"TNE"

In our time, almost everything is technology, if we consider that anything created by humanity to satisfy their needs is technology. In this sense, I don’t know if is my favourite piece of technology, but is very practical for me. I speak of “Tarjeta Nacional Estudiantil” (I don’t know to say this in English). The “TNE” is a little and orange card that has student data as: name, university, educational level… These cards has a chip inside that contains information that is read by a “validator”. If you ask me: which reads the validator? I would say that the school fare.

I use the cards everyday of year except in Febrary (well, in those days I can to use the “TNE” how a ruler).

I have a bad habit of losing my “TNE” (I’ll be the only?) When this happens I use a temporary card. I have mixed feelings by to have this card, because on the one hand I pay unless that adult fare, but on the other hand, I frequently mislaid the card.

I honestly don’t like to pay a school fare in a bad transport system, but I must to admit that if I’ll pay a adult fare I’ll be in bankrupt, because in the day I use four times the bus and twice the subway.

For me the music is very important in the life, because the melody evokes me a lot goods and bad memories. I like Pedro Aznar’s music. He was born July 23 th 1959 in Argentina. He is singer, poet and composer. In this country he is considerer how a “intellectual music” for several reasons: for a side, he has created music in many styles, rock-jazz, pop, folklore, for other side he has made interesting covers the band and singers how: Víctor Jara, John Lennon…

For me his best album is “Caja de Música”, here Aznar transforms in music some Borges’s poems (Borges is a Argentinean writer who was blind). Well, here you can to listen bass, piano, guitars, drums, violin, cello, keyboards and the Aznar’s voice. “Tankas”, “Caja de Música” and “Enigmas” are my favourite songs, because the lyrics of each songs are metaphors.

I knew Aznar in 2006 when I was watching a television program called “Una Belleza Nueva” Here, Aznar spoke of this music and why works with other artist… the best part the interview was when Aznar had that to improvise with her bass a Salvatore Cuasimodo’ poem.

When finished interview I started to look some sings that I listen when I need to be alone.

About Isolda Nuñez...

Isolda Nuñez Candia is a teacher that I admire a lot. She is graduate in philosophy in the Universidad de Chile and she realize professorships the subject “Imaginario Infantil” in the second year the Education’s career. She has done research about how to work the philosophy with children in the school and too about how to implement methodology for to work the philosophy with children in the schools with problems the learning. The professorships are very important for me, because, I will know how to prepare class that to permit children to think about matter as: ecology, genus and other. Her professorships were very interesting, because she utilized the questions for later to do a consensus about some concept. I still don’t forget the day in that she asked: What is the childhood? Is a question that to keep me during the class that I has done and I hope in the future can to answer the questions, because I believe necessary that other persons thinks about the childhood since a perspective humane.

My favourite hobbies...

I always do six things that I like a lot: watching films once week, writing anything, listening to relaxing music, roller- skating the weekend, walking with any friend talking about the life, recycling paper. Since that I was studying in the secondary school I watch films. I think that is a good habit, because permit me to know a lot places, interesting music and diverse topics that increase my mind. The bad this hobbies is the time, something films are very extensive. I’m a person very nervous, for this reason I listen relaxing music and believe me I something can’t relax me. Enya, Vangelis, Jean Michael Jare are some groups. This music are in my MP4 that I carry with me always.

I was sleeping when the earthquake happens...

I was sleeping when the earthquake happens . I wake up with my mother’s screams, she was very frightened. My sister and my father couldn’t to get down the stairs, because abrupt movement . While the ground was moving I listened a strange noise that I still remember. Some things were break down: the television, a wine glass and an old bottle of wine. When the earthquake finished, we don’t have water and light about four days. This days were very boring, because I couldn’t to listen music and I couldn’t to watch television, for this reason I bought the newspaper and I see a lot of the powerful photos: break bridges and houses… After days I can to call my distant relative.
