Past year - 2014

Hi classmates and teacher, today I’m going to write about this year 2014, although even is finished. Past year has had many things, good things and no-good things and I think that in this year I have learned many things too.

Some good things that have happened in my life are the fact that I have made new and good friends, I have met many people. I have turned the page with some situations, I have known so many places, I have traveled so much to Valparaiso, I have attended to many parties jaja, I have been out to a lot of places , my little cousin was born, and my cat came to my house in La Serena. On the other hand, situations that didn’t go so well this year are principally related with familiar issues. Some achievements in 2014 are related principally with the university because I didn’t reprobate any subject. Also, some achievements are related with personal objectives that I put myself in the start of the year. Some things that I have not done yet are know some places that I didn’t know yet, like museums or parks, attend to some stage play, or travel to some city of the country.

This end of the year I would like work to raise money and travel to some place on holidays. An important event I would like to highlight is recent, and is the fact that I went for first time to the “Mil Tambores”, I enjoyed it. Well, cheers!  

Art

Hi classmates and teacher, today's post is about Art (We chose this topic). Well, I think art is important because is a way to express things that cannot be expressed by words, also art is important because I think that we need more than just letters or numbers, one part of our brain works more when we paint, draw, sing, dance, etc. A part that works less when we just write or resolve math exercises. Because of that and because of in this educational system drawing or painting is less promoted than other things, I think I enjoy art. Also, I enjoy art because I can express my feelings without rationalistic thoughts. When I was a child I wasn’t interested in art, not very much, but today yes, despite the fact that I’ve visited the Museo Bellas Artes just once.

I think I don’t have big artistic abilities for visual art, but the thing in which I’m better is drawing; since I was child I’ve thought that my draws aren’t ugly. Despite the fact that I just remember the time in which I participated in something like a competition, but not a real competition because there wasn’t a winner. In that competition the organizers gave us a certificate.

About my personal views I like modern art, like graffiti, and I consider it a form of art and not vandalism if this isn’t a tag, and is, for example, a mural.

My favourite visual art expression is the performance, in which the astonishment and the aesthetic are mixed, like the art made of human flesh, blood and bones, but I think that this is a little extreme hahah. My favourite performances are the street performance, because the astonishment is seen in a better way and my favourite artist is a performance artist called Marina Abramovic. One of her better works of art, according to me, is the one I’ll put below (called Ritmo 0, 1974). I like that performance because is really shocking and true. Cheers!

How green am I?

Hi, the theme of today is about the carefulness to the environment. I think the carefulness to the environment is something very important in the actuality, because if we don’t care us environment, today maybe isn’t very bad, but in fifty years will be very sad. I think that the people can learn about enviromentally friendly practices mainly in the school, is important that these values are taught since the childhood. Besides thank, I think the government always should give talks about enviromentally friendly practices.

For my part, I have in incorported recycling into my habits when I can; for example, in my house I have a bag and I put all the recyclable things in, also I try not to use plastic bags, but when I am in the university and I use something of cardboard or paper I don’t recycle that, I just waste itL. I use bike or my legs to transport me to university, but if I have to go to some faraway place I use the bus or the tube. I never have joined or supported any eco-organisations, because in general I don’t participate in organizations or collectives, also I don’t know any near eco-organisation. I would like to participate in any eco-organisation, if in my faculty some students create one, I will be very interested. I think that I haven’t done so many things to reduce my carbon footprint, but the things that I do affect in that indirectly, because I don’t move for the city using a car, I don’t watch TV, and I don’t eat meat, but I haven’t done that things to be and eco-hero hahah.

I think that the first thing that the society in Santiago should to do to reduce them carbon footprint is reduce the number of cars. Finally I think I am just Green-in-Between. Cheers!

Friends

Hi everybody, today I’m going to write about friends (not the TV serie ha ha ha). Well, to myself, friends are an important part of the life, is the family that you can choose, if you don’t have even a friend, you should feel so alone.

The thing that I value most in a friend is the fact that she / he stay by your side when you need company, some words or a hug. The qualities that I consider important in a friend, whom a friend should have are: loyalty, comprehensiveness, sincerity. Loyalty, because the first thing that I said (the fact that she / he stay by your side when you need her / him); Comprehensiveness because a friend will comprise you in all your moments, and he / she will try to understand you and don’t judge you; and Sincerity because a friend will tell you the good things and even more the bad things of your acts, just to help you (but not like a mother or a father xd). I think that I always try to be a good friend but sometimes I fail.

I don’t make friends easily, my best friends are those I met in high school, maybe because I am shy sometimes, really I don’t know. I met my closest friend in high school, and she is very funny and relax, she gives me the simplicity to see the world that sometimes I need.I keep in touch with that friends (those I met in high school) but not with those I met in my childhood. That is all, nice weekend J
