Braveheart!

Hello friends! This time I will speak to you about my favorite movie. Sincerely I don’t watch many movies because sometimes I think that I will waste my time if I don’t like the movie. But you don’t think that I have never watched a movie in my life, of course I have watched some movies, and my favorite is Braveheart.
Braveheart opened in 1995, Mel Gibson directed, produced and starring it, and this movie won five Oscar Awards. Barveheart is about the William Wallace’s life and the liberty of Scotland, who is dominated for England until 1314.
The English King, Edward I, was very cruel with Scottish people. Some William Wallace’s relatives and other people had died. The English people murdered and violeted many persons. They commited many abuses in Scotland. Then, William Wallace want to get the freedom of his country, so he begins to organize his people, he is decided to go to war. However, nothing was easy because some scots prefer to stay in their homes. But, William Wallace gets to create an army. They fight with English people many times and William Wallace is captured. The English soldiers hit and tortured him. They wanted that he repents, but he never gave up, so he is murdered and before he died he cried: Liberty!!
I like this movie because when I watched it I was entertained in all moment, furthemore, I like the history and popular topics.
Have you ever watched Braveheart? What do you think about it?

MEXICO!

Hello friends! How are you? We must rapidly write about other topic, so I will speak you about Mexico because I would like to go to this country, I think that Mexico is amazing and very interesting place.

Mexico is located in the north of our continent, America. It is a country with much history; many cultures lived there, for example, the Aztecs. After, the Spanish conquerors arrived and they killed many native people. Mexico was the most important Spanish colony together with Peru. Mexico also gets its liberty in the 19 century, as all American countries. Then, the revolution happens in Mexico; this was a revolution peasant-indigenous, and etc, etc. I already said it, Mexico is amazing.

Well, I would like to visit Mexico; I would like to be in its colonial constructions and its pyramids. But I also would like to live and work in Mexico. I know that it is not a safe place, however, in this country there are many social realities, there are indigenous, peasant, businessmen, poor people, rich people, revolutionaries, traffickers, etc. The social reality is very interesting, so I would like to study, work and help people through anthropologic in this country. Then I love Mexico.

And you, what do you think about Mexico?

See you the next class, friends!

My experiences during this first term!

Hello friends! Nice to meet you! This first time I will speak you about my experiences during this first term, so we will know us.
Uf!, the last semester was hard, because we lived an earthquake and we started the class later. When I was finished, I am really very tired, I only wished vacations and rain, much rain. However, I learned many things the last semester. The most useful was a subject named “Materialism”, after it I feel that now I can learn other things, how production modes, forces of producción, communism, revolution, State, etc. Also I learned about Ethnohistory, I learned more about the culture, about the “same” and the “other”, this is amazing! In this subject I had to go the National Library and I researched with old newspapers, but this was a bad experience because the National Library were a chaos, and I lost much timet here. My others subjects were Prehistory, Statics, French and Eglish.
With respect to sport, I didn’t practice, because I didn’t have time, I really was dying. I think that I played football twice, but I watch much football in the TV!, I enjoy with the FIFA World’s Cup, so I think that I am fatter…jaja…
After all, when I was finished the last semester I enjoyed and I went some parties, I drink some beer and I dance with my friends.
And that’s all folks.
See you soon! Good luck!

My blogging experience.

Hello friends! How are you? This time is the last and I will write about my blogging experience during this semester.

Sincerely, before this experience I knew nothing about blogs, I never had fotolog or facebook, for example, if you are very fortunate you ever see me en msn, because I don’t like the PC. However, this was a good experience.

I liked this experience because I knew many things about you, my classmates, sometimes these things were beautiful and sometimes are sad, but I liked this experience because I knew your experiences, thoughts, ideas, etc. And I am grateful you, thank you for sharing this things with me, with us.

Often I didn’t know what I would write and I had to think about a topic… So, I wrote about soccer, so much soccer, my favorite photograph, technology, earthquake, Malinowski, Víctor Jara and The Prisoners. My favorite blog that I write was about Victor Jara, simply I love him. I think that I forgot to write about Silvio Rodríguez, but I will do it the next time if our teacher wishes pass me. I like this type of music; I love the trova and the canto popular.

I liked to write in my blog when I do it in class, but I hated to do it in my house, because I didn’t have time, this university life…Uf! I always was busy and in this moments I am dying and I think that you also had many tests, projects, etc.

Finally, I always try to write according to what I though and I felt and I hope you had fun. And thank you for reading me; I know that, perhaps, sometimes, it was boring. And see you the next class when we will have our test, and I hope to see you the next semester and I also hope to pass level 3…jaja!

Chilean team in the World Cup

Hello friends! As you already know, I love football… and this time I will speak about more football, this time will not be the exception. Finally this blog turned out to be a blog about football, but now is happening things very important with our Chilean team and I want share it with you. Happens that Chilean team has many possibilities of qualifying to the second round and I want to tell you how I have lived this and I also want to know how you have lived it.

Yesterday, Chile plays his second match versus Swiss and our country won by 1-0. This was a fun match I almost die of nerves. Yesterday all Chile almost die of nerves, because Swiss nearly tied the match when it was finished. That was an injustice because Chile played better and Swiss don’t deserve to win the match. In this opportunity I was alone in my home and I claimed like a monkey.

And so Chile won the match, now we have six points because in his first match Chile win Honduras. I watched this match in my home with my family earliest. In the other groups who have six points was qualified, but we still can be out the World Cup, because we lost many goals and we can be out for goals difference. The last match of Chile is versus Spain, this will be a difficult match because Spain is a world power in soccer. Chile will play this Friday and my friends and me will have our colon in hand. We think watch the match and drink beer. If Chile wins we will celebrate and if Chile lost we will be very sad.

And you? Will you watch the match this Friday?

See you in the next class!

Flying shoe!

Hello friends! Today I will talk about this photograph…Yes, she is Michelle Bachellet, the ex president from Chile.

I will explain a bit. When Michelle Bachellet was president she helped much to sport. Then she decide to build stadiums. Furthemore, soon in Chile would have qualifying youth. On the other hand, Chilean people needed stadiums in other cities, outside Santiago, so that their soccer teams play. Before, we only had old stadiums, and now we had 3 or 4 new stadiums, although our stadiums aren’t so beautiful as the South African stadiums. I love them!

This event happens in Temuco, november 5, 2008 when Michelle Bachellet was inaugurating a satidium, the Germán Becker Stadium. This was very funny, because when she kicked the soccer ball, she lost her shoe, it flies in the sky. After, she was blushing, she felt shame. People laughed out loud. But, she is very pleasant and she knew how to put humor at stadium inaguration.

This photograph was taking for many journalists, because the president is an important person and she always was accompanied. Fastly, the new appeared in all media, the TV, radio, internet, etc. The next day, this picture appeared in all newspapers. All Chileans talked and laughed about the situation. After, all journalists asked the politicians and they also laughed…

I like this photograph because when I see it I laughed a lot of, it is very funny. Furthemore, as you know, I love soccer. I hope you liked the photograph.

See you the next class!

Bye!

The Prisoners!

Hi dear friends! This time I will speak to you about The Prisoners, my favourite music group when I was a teen...

The Prisoners were a Chilean rock band, very known in Latin American. Originally they were three members: Jorge González, Claudio Narea and Miguel Tapia. They were great because with their instruments: electric guitar, bass and drums, only three, they played fantastic music.

The group began to play in the 1980s when they were in high school. They were great friends. Their main characteristic is that their lyrics expressed a social criticism, which became the anthems of the opposition sectors to the South American dictatorships, in the Chilean case, to Augusto Pinochet.

They published four discs when they were together: “80s’s voice”, “Kicking stones”, “Trash culture” and “Hearts”. After, they separated in 1990 because they had problems; Jorge Gonzalez y Miguel Tapia continued playing until 1991.

They newly meet in 2001 and they were very successful. They completed twice the National Stadium; therefore, they approximately congregated 160.000 persons. They played until 2006 when they separated again.

I loved them when I was a teen, I knew all their songs and I still sing them. In my opinion, their first disc is the greatest one, it only contain hits.

Do you like or liked The Prisoners?

See you soon.
