Summer!

Hello classmates!

Well, I really hope that summer start soon.

So, today I’m going to talk about my plans for this summer.

I want to do a lot of things, like read, listen music (a lot of new albums are going to coming out soon!), rest, ride a bike, see a lot of movies,  going to concerts, travel… well, things you do on summer.  

I want to do all this things, because I want to use the whole free time I’ll have on funny activities.

Also, I hope to go to the beach, probably, with Jenny and some other friends.

This is like a sinopsis of what i want to do (haha). J

A game I played as a child

Hello, classmates!

Well, today I’m going to tell you about a game that I played when I was a child.

This game it’s called “Alto” and you can play it when there’s an enthusiastic group of people with a ball.

You can play it on a street (being careful with cars) or on a field, wherever.

At first, people get together on a circle and start to found different nicknames that everyone going to use the whole game. It can be Countries names or fruits, and if no one wants to think, it uses each one name. After that, the game starts with someone throwing the ball to the sky, and at the same time, he or she screams someone’s nickname.  When this happen, and the ball is on the sky, everybody runs in any direction, just to stay far away from the ball, but the person that it was called by his nickname  has to run on the opposite direction, just to get the ball on his hands. If this one, make it, catch the ball, screams “altooo!!” and then, everybody just had to keep the same position they had, when the scream was made. So everybody it’s like “frozen”.  The only person that can move it’s the guy that caught the ball and screamed “alto”, so he or she, with the ball on his hands, takes 3 steps and throws the ball, trying, with that, to touch somebody, and if the ball touch somebody, this one it pass to be “burn”, and stay out of the game.

So, the group make this again and again.

I learned this game, when I was 7 or 8 years old and I played with all the kids of my neighbourhood.

I enjoyed, because in those days, it felt so extreme, because you had to run faster as your legs let you make it.

Since then, I haven’t played this game anymore.

A Job I Would Like to Have

Hello Classmates!

Well, in my whole life I’ve had just a couple of jobs; some of them had been fun, and others were complete bored.

One of these jobs was attending on Oriente theatre for a several concerts or plays; what I did there was telling people where they had to sit. The good thing about that job was that I attended a lot of shows without paying anything.  So, that is all my work accomplishments.

Well, there’s always a job that everyone dream to, and mine its work like a musician or songwriter.

I would like to have this job, because after listen a lot of albums think that it should be the best work in the world. Nah, there’s not my argument, but I would like to have it, because music it’s something that it’s very special for me, and I’ve tried to learn to play some music instruments, well, I can sing and I recorded a couple of songs on a semi-professional studio, so I think that I’m not doing it so bad.

Well, also I like to have it, because you can use you time as you like, just to try to play all the sounds that are in your head.

To make this job well, the qualities that you need, it’s have skills, when you feel that you can make this without problems. Also, you should be persistent, to getting better day by day.

The inspiration, that I have to choose this job, well, is a lot of musicians and songwriters that make every song sounds like if it was yours.

There are such good musicians around the world!

A walk

Hello Classmates!

Well, today I’m going to talk about something that I like to do and, this is walk.

Actually, I’m not a fan of make exercise so often, but when I feel that I have enough energy, I do it.

Obviously, when you are a kid, lack of energy is not a problem, so that’s how my story begins.

When I was 10 years old, I made a walk with some older cousins, and how I haven’t made so many walks in my life, I will never forget it. Well, I would like to make that walk again.

This walk, it’s placed around a waterfall called “El salto de la princesa”. This waterfall it’s famous in Curacautín, where it’s placed, and it’s known for a lot of people in Araucanía.

Well, how I said before I made this walk when I was 10 years old, on summer of 2003.

With my mom and dad, we were visiting to an aunt, so her grandsons were there, and we made a lot of activities, the whole week we stay there. So one day we went to swim on a pool, play video games, play football, etc…

So, one of those days, we went to make this walk. At first we get there by car, my cousins’ grandpa’ was driving, when we get to “salto de la princesa” we said good bye and start to climb around it. Maybe it could see like a dangerous activity, but this “hill” wasn’t so high, it was flat in a lot of places. After walking and walking looking the different kind of trees and leaves, we got to the summit and, together, we saw the waterfall from above (almost) and falling down with all strength possible.

I enjoyed a lot, because I felt that it were the first time that I was connected to nature, and that why I would like to make this walk again.

 

Free Post

Hello Classmates!
Well, today I had expected to talk to you about a cartoon series, called “Daria”, but I haven’t had time to search for dates and numbers of episodes. So today I’m going to write about very special band that I have been listening to, since a couple of years.
Their name is Warpaint and, it’s a four piece band.
All its members are girls (really, they’re women right now) and, they make such great music, so, let's leave all prejudice behind.
With Californian roots, they started this indie rock band on 2004. Its second line up consisted by Theresa Wayman (guitar), Emily Kokal (guitar), Jenny Lee Lindberg (bass guitar); all of them childhood friends; and Josh Klinghoffer (drums), who now it’s the main guitar of Red Hot Chili Peppers. So, in his place, now it’s Stella Mozgawa.
They are part of Rought Trade Record, an independent record label, that it’s know by signed (obviously, a lot of years ago) The Smiths.
It’s first EP, called “Exquisite Corpse”, was produced by John Frusciante, and it contains songs like “Elephant” and “Bees”. But, wasn’t to 2010, that the first album “The fool” was released.
What I like from Warpaint, it’s that if you see carefully, there’s no lead singer, so in every song you can find any of members singing the main lyrics. Also, I like its entire sound, which have a strong bass and drums predominance, but the guitar doesn’t seem to be detract, it helps to create a whole interesting and mystique atmosphere.

The Future

Hello Classmates!

Well, today I’m going to talk about something that sometimes I avoid to think of: The Future.

Thinking that the entire things I’m going to write will be, minimum 10 years later…

I would like to be living by my own, in a house placed at a nice neighbourhood, well, in Santiago, but who knows if it is in another country.

The fact of own a house, it’s important, because it gives you stability and confirm that you are an adult (in a way, without seeing if it’s good or bad).

Well, probably I’ll be working like a geographer in very different kind of interesting projects, but also, I would like to join to this kinds to music web pages, writing albums and concert critics, and who knows… being a musician.

I would like to share this future with my family (my mom, sister and niece), my friends and who knows… a partner. This is something that you can’t know appropriately, how many people you can know, and how important can become.

10 years later, I would like to see that I achieved things that I never expected from myself, but also, I would like to see that I beaten all kind of challenges.

Well, if I think about how the world will be, I’m not so optimist. Because, probably the global warming will be in a delicate state, and politically all countries will be in a enmity state. But I would like to think, I really hope, that all people, together, have made greatest things to take care and make a better place, the world where we live.

27 F

Hello classmates!

Today I’m going to talk about something that is very normal in Chile, earthquakes.

It’s been a lot of big earthquakes in our land, and it’s said that if you live here, you will feel, minimum two of them in your life.

Well, I felt one of those two, and it happened on February 27^th of 2010.

On that night I was in San Bernardo (South of Santiago), and I was on a car on Barros Arana Street. I was with my family in our way back home, after my mother’s birthday celebration.

The celebration took place at my aunt’s flat that is on the 10^th floor of the building. We got there early and chat and ate cake, but then it became so late and decided to go home.

When we were on the car, everything was ok, but suddenly I saw that all traffic lights and post were moving like if the ground was made of water. Then, my uncle that was driving, decided to stop on a side of the street and wait, but meanwhile he opened one car door, in case that it get locked (haha), well, obviously he made that, because he was so nervous.

When the earthquake was happen, well from the car, I saw a punk group getting scared and running in circles, a couple of houses going straight down to the street like it were made of sand and the sky changing of colours like on a thunderstorm.

Well, when it stopped, my uncle went to my home and leaves us there, but on the way to home; all the streets were full of stones and rubble, so for him it were complicated to drive. After that, we stayed home and my uncle went to see my aunt that stayed on her flat on the 10^th floor.

This earthquake, fortunately, doesn’t take problems with family houses, but it took psychological problems like scare to another quake, like all post shock events.
