My momentary obsessions

This year I am going so much to cultural activities because I thought that this year of classes is the last one for me. When you are student you can take advantage about your personal time, you have free afternoons or free mornings. Definitely, you cant structured hours and Im not working yet. I always wanted to go more frequently to the cinema, to the theater, to walk for the cultural places of Santiago, to see exhibitions and to meet all the parks because I didnt live in Santiago before and I had curiosity about this city. When I just arrived I was worried to survive the university so I didnt know other things besides the U. Now Ive been going to the cinema, Ive been watching good films, some of this year and other older but masterpieces. Ive been going to the theater, one of my best friend is studying theater and Ive taken the time to see her acting. And another of my friends is tourist guide in centro cultural la moneda, and she performs different cultural activities about Chile ...

My best concert

My best concert was Silvio Rodríguez. I went the last year with my four sisters. It was the first time that we were going to a concert together and without our parents. My sisters are young girls like me, so we share too many interests like the music taste, especially Silvio Rodríguez. I guess this music taste is because my mom always loves his music and she showed the best song of him and my sisters and I continue listening another songs and different albums. The concert’s day we travelled from Rancagua to Santiago on car with my dad who waited for us until the end of the concert. We bought some snacks for the concert and we had tea that my mom sent from Rancagua. That’s was perfect because the concert was a winter day and its was very cool in the night. After my dad said goodbye, we entered to the Movistar Arena and we smoked weed, just me and my biggest sister, the others two didn’t smoke anything. I enjoyed very much because I was with my 4 favorite people in the world and I ...

English language in my life...

Hi guys, today I’m going to speak about my relationship with the English Language that is not too cool. I treat to learn it since I was child but it feels a little difficult because it is something i don't use every day. I forget the pronunciation of the words so I can’t communicate my ideas adequately and I frustrate myself. I prefer to write in English because i can remember how to write the words and it feel more comfortably communicating what i think. I would like to improve my English because I always have wanted to travel for many countries meeting different cultures and sharing with different people.  A lot of people speak English, it's one of the more used language in the world. Mainly that is the reason for I want to learn it. Besides, I like to read and I have some favorites American and English writers that I would love reading them in their original language, because the translations sometimes aren’t good. I think there are a couple good reasons to be more ene...

A place to eat

Well, I'm living in Santiago recently, and I dont really know many places to eat good. Although I could recommend a fun place to drink beer in Ñuñoa, called HBH. They sell many flavors of craft beers and other liquors included. In my hometown, Rancagua,  I know places for lunch. A good place to find cheap food is "The Gourmet" located in the center of Rancagua, in the street Ocarroll. To eat vegetarian food, a great place is the "vegetarian" that is on the street Bueras. Very rich food. And if you visit Machali, you should eat a "pajarita" in somewhere restorant center. I think Id like to find a "picada" in Santiago, which really surprised me and I can visit often, but I guess in my 5 years of study, I'll find it. 

To learn

I think also that there are certain things that I cant learn at my stage, like classic jazz dance, because I don’t have a  physical condition and you need many years of rigorous training and preparation. I could say it's my frustrated dream But looking forward, I would like to learn photography and piano. A few years ago I took piano lessons, but only learned the basics. It would be nice to play major piano works, for example, works of rachmaninoff. Reading has been a secret passion since childhood, I love reading classic literature, my favorite authors are James Joyce and Roberto Bolaño. My favorite books are Portrait of a young  artist and Savage Detectives. I want to read Finnegans Wake, a book by Joyce, but people say it is very complex and unfinished translations. So I'm motivated to learn English because it is a door that can take you to unlimited knowledge. Other languages ​​that interests me it is German, for the vast German culture, and the great works of l...

Write

I had a blog before, but I posted things of literatura that I considered interesting. The name of my blog was “Hilvanando palabras” and my  user  was “Corazón de Abuelita”. It was a good experience  but I didnt continue writing in this blog because I didnt have time and I am unfocussed young.  Now In English class, I was writing about myself, about my  pleasures and activities. It was strange because I am a reserved person, I dont like to talk about me, if I dont know who especially are Reading me.  So, I am complicated when I must write in English, it was not too much easy. However, Its not terrible after all, English give you the opportunity to access the Universal Knowlegde and learn it. I think I am good with words, I like to write but in Spanish, I feel frustrated when I can express as I am thinking the different things. When I was girl I loved read books and write and this remain today. I would like to write in future things not about myself...
