A good memory

This photograph was taken by the photographer of my school and it shows and it shows my class at the school, the persons with whom I coexisted for even 13 years. In this photograph appears my best friends, people that I used to see every morning and that I now see once in a month. And also appears my teacher, Miss Solanch, a lovely person, always worried about us.

It was taken at my last days of school, I don’t remember the day but it was in December of the past year.

I like it because it has many things that not show, have stories, memories, and emotions. This photograph implies a big part of my life, implies people that were my second family and that I miss. This photograph is the remembrance of a very good time of my life that will not come back but that also make me the person that I am now, so it’s a time which I’ll always be grateful. 

The end of the road

At the end of the road, I have to talk about my experience with the blog process, something strange if I think in the form that we lived it.

Well, I never did something like this but although I think that it’s a very good tool and form of learn and practice an idiom. Also, I believe that there is no better way to learn about something that has a relation with the language than write.

Sadly, if it wasn’t being for the breaks, we would have taken advance of this opportunity much better. In fact, I usually forget my responsibilities when I’m not in active class period, so the break affect me badly at the blog sessions.

It has been useful for my writing skills, I learned some word and don’t lost the practice with the English. 

I don’t know if I would include something at the blog sessions, maybe it could be something like create a story or make a video about some theme. Anyway, I think that it’s a great method, so I wouldn’t make big changes on it.

Definitely, it’s a very good process that in this year could not be how we would have wanted it. 

Oh music

I like the rock and the classical music.

I started to listen rock when I was very young, I don’t even remember it, because when I was a child, I lived with my cousins and my sisters, they was between seven and thirteen years more old than me, and every of them listen rock (and other music, but I liked the rock). So I grew up with it. And I started to listen classical music about two years ago.

My favorite rock band are Pink Floyd, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nirvana, they are a very important piece in my life. And from Chile I like Los Bunkers and Tronic very much. And in the classic music, I Obviously a like other bands and artist, but these are my favorite ones.

I attended to a few concerts in my life, like Los Bunkers & Los Jaivas, Brain Damage and Soundgarden, but definitely the most important concert of my life was the one of the Red Hot Chili Peppers at Lollapalooza in Chile, because it is one of my favorite bands since I was like 5 years old and I went to this concert at 17 years old. Also, it is important to me because my friends and my girlfriend given the ticket to me as a birthday gift.

Books, Books, Books

I’m not sure about what was the first book that I ever read. I think that it was “Tomacito” and I read it in the school.

I can’t talk about a favorite author, it would be impossible. Although I have can talk about a few that I love. When I say that, I think in Julio Cortázar, Hermann Hesse, Mario Benedetti,  Gabriel García Márquez, Bertolt Brecht or Eduardo Galeano.

I don’t have a kind of book that I prefer to read, it depends of the time of my life. For example if I want to only have fun I like to read light books like Harry Potter, but if I want to think about existentialist things, I would like to read something like Hesse. I like fantastic short stories but I don’t know if I am able to say that are the ones that I prefer to read always.

I definitely don’t have a favorite book, but I will mention two that are very important in my life: Rayuela and La Tregua.

At the moment I can’t read because of the career as I would like, but in a long time ago I was reading Los Miserables by Victor Hugo and Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows. 

The great Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant was one of the greatest philosopher of all time. He is the first philosopher of the criticism and precursor of the German idealism.

Kant born in Königsberg, Germany, in 1724. There is not very much to talk about his life, that sincerely was a little boring, but his work is very great.

His most important work is Critique of Pure Reason. It’s impossible explain the importance of his work to the philosophy and to the world. He was near to close the differences between empiricism and rationalism, made a wonderful analysis of ethical and moral and wrote things of radical importance about the punishment. A great part of his work has been very useful to the Laws.

As a consequence of his work, other philosophes like Fichte, Schelling, Hegel or Schopenhauer expand their production by complementing or contradicting what Immanuel thought.    

I like him because the way that he confronts the empiricism/rationality dichotomy, I think that, although it could be something wrong, it’s impressive, especially considering his times. 

Now, TV Series

If in the past I talked about my favorite movie, now I’m going to talk about my favorite TV serie. That is House of Cards. I like it because it have a good story with a very good direction. I couldn’t ask for more from it.

As the movies, I like the dramatic series. But if I search, for example, I like to watch series with historical or political content, like Rome (serie). And also I like the comedies, like The Big Bang Theory, The Simpsons, Futurama or American Dad.

It’s very difficult to me watch series because I want to see a lot of them but I never do (I know that is my fault). I want to see Game of Thrones because very much people had talk good things of it.

And a serie that I want to end is Dr. House. I think that it’s impressive, amazing, I love the character of House, but a never end the serie and I hate that. 

My favorite movie

Hi everybody, well, today I’m going to talk to yo about my favorite movie. The true it’s that is very difficult choose one, but I think that (by now) my favorite movie is Scott Pilgrim vs the World. It’s a movie directed by Edgar Wright and inspired in the comics of Bryan Lee O’Milley.

It’s a terrible movie but i love it. Although the direction, the soundtrack and the performance of Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Brie Larson are amazing.

I don’t remember exactly when i saw it, but i think that it was in 2012.

By the way, the most recent movie that i watch was Les Miserables (another of my favorites ones), and of course, I loved it.
I like dramatic movies, with a very very good script. In fact, it is the thing that is most important, it could be a comedy or a romantic movie, but with a good script i will love it. 

And, at last, I need to mention other movies that i love: Inglorious Bastards, Kill Bill (Vol 1 & 2), Fight Club, Big Hero 6, Star Wars (all of them), The Wall, Shutter Island, Inception and The Wolf of Wall Street.
