About writing on blogs

Hi ^ ^, now I am going to talk about my experience writing on this blog for English class.
Well, in my opinion, I have always wanted to have a blog, but it required perseverance and something interesting to tell, and it was too much for me, so I never made a blog because it was too many work for me.
But writing a blog for a class was different, because anyway, I had to do it, and honestly it was better than the typical English lessons, because I could listen to music while I was writing, and that way I felt more inspired and I enjoy it the most.
And the topics that the professor give us was pretty interesting and sometimes I wanted to show my classmates what I thought about the topics, like the picture that I most like, or a place that I would like to visit, I think that those were my favorites topics. And I enjoyed searching what picture I would use on that topic, it was quite an odyssey.
And obviously, I enjoyed reading what my classmates write too, because I felt that we were a little more near to each other, and that most of us were quite the same each other. And their stories were mostly about love, and it was really nice.
And I honestly can say that professor Alvaro’s lessons about writing on blogs, was very original and it motivated me very much, it was not boring for me to go to English lessons, and I think it really helped me, because while I was writing I was only thinking on my mind in English, so It was like I was actually talking in English.
I’m sad because writing on blogs has ended… really!
Maybe if I become an interesting person I will write a blog.

Hello!
Well... my favorite dish is Sushi! It’s so delicious and fresh, and it has my two favorites ingredients, which are rice and fresh seafood. The seafood is all raw, but with soya (or lemon) is perfect! I really love any kind of seafood, and I really love rice.
Sushi comes from Japan, and I think that if I’d live in Japan, I’d be very happy. Though sushi in Japan is more simple, cause in Chile we are grosser and put into the sushi all kind of things, like cheese cream, almonds, avocado, etc. And in Japan is only rice and raw seafood, and just a little of soya.

The first time I ate sushi, was on a friend’s house, and that time I didn’t like… surely I was mad…And like three years later I ate it again and I loved it. Now my brother and I are Sushi lovers, and we go out to eat sushi frequently.
I really recommend you sushi, and though it is pretty expensive, it won’t leave you hungry definitely.

I once tried to make sushi, but it was a disaster, because it is really hard, the rice is very sticky, and I didn’t know how to cut the seafood… and at the end it didn’t even taste good!
So I recommend you to just buy it.

To make sushi you must have rice, nori, sushi vinegar, and some seafood like salmon, or shrimp, which are the most basic and easier to cook.
But also you must have the cooking tools to make sushi, because it is really complicated if you do it just for your own.

If you want to eat sushi now… I recommend you Zoniko a delivery sushi.

A photograph that I like...

Flower Power
This is the photograph that I like the most because it represents the no-violence, and peace.
The flower represents the Flower Power movement that begins at the oldies 60’s and early 70’s in Bekerley, California as a symbolic action of protest against Vietnam War. Ginsberg wrote an essay on 1965 titled “How to make a March/Spectacle, and advocated thar prostesters should be provided with “masses of flowers” to hand out policeman, press, politicians and spectators. They wanted to make something like a street theater showing their anti-war movement on a very creative way, and very beautiful by the way. This movement was represented specifically by the hippies, althought I think that not only them must have though that way.
I think that those ways to represents peace and no-violence now are kinf of forgotten, because now, although there are many people that wants to represents their ideals on a pacific way, there are many people too that don’t respect that and ends to resort to force.
Those times, there were many important people that “fight” for peace, like John Lennon and Yoko Ono with their slogan “War is Over, if you want it” and “Give peace a chance”, those were very strong messages. And many other representations for peace, like Woodstock. But this times seems that things have changed and people care about other things, and the media doesn’t inform properly to people.
And the most sadly thing is that those artist that “fight” for peace are almost all dead or too old, and the artist of nowday don’t care about moving people to fight for their ideals when they easily could do that.

The most important day of my life

I think the most important day of my life was when my parents gift me my first pet.
It was when I was twelve years old, and I was spending the weekend with my Family in Peumo (this is where my family comes from), and my sister stayed at home in Santiago and she called me and told me that there was a living gift for me at home, and that it was furry, so I guess immediately that it was a dog!! And I told my parents to travel immediately to Santiago to meet my first pet. And when I arrived home I finally meet her, and she was very tinny and cute, I wanted to cry because she was so extremely cute hahaha!!
She is an English cocker and when I met her she was only 3 months and now she is 7 years old, and she is a little overweight hehehe…but she is still very cute and furry.
Her name is Florencia, and she was gifted from our neighbor because she has Florencia’s Mother whose name was Reina, and she had a lot of puppies, so our neighbor gave us one of them for free.
She is like one person more at home; she does what she wants, like sleeping on my pillows when I’m not at home. And we take her anyway we go, everybody at home love her, and she knows that hahaha.
So Florencia gave me my most important day of my life because I love her so much and she gives me a smile everyday <3.
Here is my Flonganiza:

My favorite technology is...

My favorite technology is my celphone because I can do almost anything with it ! And I use it everyday.
I use it the most to call obviusly, and I call the most to my boyfriend and my family.
I also can send messages with it that help me when I am in problems and I can take pictures with it in any moment, so it is just like bringing a camera with me.
When I am boring I can surf on internet, but I usually visit facebook and write about things on my status, and visit my friend’s facebook and I like stalking my boyfriend’s facebook.
And I use internet when I have to search things for university or for my friends, the directions of someplace or telephone numbers, etc. Because of this it is really useful.
I also can download games like Angry birds, which is my favorite game. And download free music, I spend a lot of time downloading a lot of music.
And I can watch videos on youtube, it is really funny.
My parents bought it for me, because the said that I will need a celphone with internet for the university, though I use it more for entertainment  as you can see.

The place that I would like to visit...

A place that I would like to visit is all Europe. I would like to travel around Europe by train, but specially the rural sectors and the main cities of the European countries, because they are all so full of antique culture and art. And the architecture of the old buildings are really beautiful and mysterious (o.o). I think those places are like fairy tales but not that pinky.
There in Europe the place that I would like to stay longer is England, because that is the birthplace of The Beatles, my favorite band. And I would like to specifically visit Abbey road,  the music studios of them, their houses on liverpool!,  The Beatles story,  etc.
I would like to visit Europe with my friends like a trip, because we are a lot like sisters, we know each other really well, and have a really good time when we are together. Also it’s more fun than going with my boyfriend because just the two of us is too boring.  Maybe in other occasion I would like to go only with my boyfriend, because it is a very romantic place too.
The only exception is that all Europe is too cold and I really feel the cold, but I would live there anyway because it is just too beatiful.

Professor Marcial Beltrami

The expert on my field that I admire is professor  Marcial Beltrami , he is a zoologist, ethologist  and a professor of the University of Chile and Metropolitan University, and also he is an investigator.
His specifically research work are “changeables that affect agressive conduscts”, “Conducts at primates captivity” and “Genetics bases and  learning on grubs”
His university course at the Faculty of social sciences is Psychobiology but he also teaches Neurophysiology .
I liike him, because I like people who likes animals, and his classes are very interesting and funny because the most part of them are about animals and their conducts, and I really care about that.
Also he tries to make his classes funny telling us funny stories about animals and comparing animals with people,  like today when he mentioned Pato Yañez… but in a very respectful way, because he is very respectiful also.
Though I don’t know him well, he looks like a person who you can talk to about life, and he doesn’t seem like the sacred professors kind.
I hope I’ll have more courses with him.
