Been a blogger...

Hi everyone!

I think today it’s the last day for us to write on our blogs. So I’ll tell you how was it for me. I think this was a very rewarding experience, even if I didn’t knew what to write about It always was a challenge. At start it was hard; in school I wasn’t very good at it, so when we begin, after 2 years of school, it was more difficult to me. Sometimes was complicated the vocabulary some others how to say something, like ways of saying it and the orthography was a thing that I almost forgot at all. So post after post I write and learn everyday a little more; and now it’s no very difficult to me, it flows very easily, my orthography get better and I learn more vocabulary of different topics it was more varied that the words that I learn in my last years of school.

Sincerely when In read a blog I always look at my friend’s or at the blog of the person that comment on Simon’s, there were very interesting also and talk about similar things as I did.

As I said before, every post was interesting but the post that I enjoy the least was the one of the natural history museum and the building one because there were posts of things that I don’t know very well and they were very difficult to think and write.

The post I enjoy the most was of the restaurant one because I love food and the other was the free one. In that post I wrote about my Paramore concert! It was my favorite post because I this concert mean a lot to me, considering Paramore it my favorite band and also because it’s the first time I’ll see them. And I tell you something… The concert it’s today! I can’t believe it past 3 months, I’m extremely excited!  

As Told by Ginger

Hi everyone!

It’s time to remember old times! Today I have to talk about a TV show that I used to see when I was a child. I memorize my childhood or at least two years of it, like a time with my head in front of the TV. I used to see like 6 hours TV non-stop a day when I was 10 or 11 years old. When I got out of school I remember the first thing I used to do after eating something and changing my uniform, was sitting on the sofa and turn on the TV on Nickelodeon channel while I was doing my homework. I know that seen that much hours of TV is not very healthy but I remember I was happy and it was fun. I used to see SpongeBob SquarePants, As Told by Ginger, Sabrina the teenage witch, Sister sister and Clueless between others. My favorite was As Told by Ginger. It was about a teenager girl and her life with geek friends at school and separate parents. The show ran in 2000 till 2009. I think I enjoy that show so much because it was a girl at my age and living some things that I was living them to, I felt identified with her.

Do schools kill creativity?

Hi everyone!

Today I will talk you about the video of Ken Robinson of the creativity. I have seen a talk of him in TED before, a video that illustrate the things that he is saying. And he explains in a better way some concepts like the ADHD disorder and how schools treat children and push them to calm "to help them study". When they really are causing them the lost of their creativity and self expression making them think that don't show your artistic part is the correct thing, that the scientific and mathematic is the thing that matters in life, in the future and in their jobs.

We know that the cause of things is the system of education; therefore, teachers and classmates are the principal cause of this treat to students. I have my own experience that has to do with embarrassing their students than directly restricting their creativity. Anyway I think that it causes the same consequence, when you embarrass someone you make them shy and their never feel secure to say or feel something and be able to express it to someone else.

Finally there are two things that cause problems with the self growth: the lack of stimulation, the limitation of the former and the bullying problem. Here a leave you a trailer about a documental “Bully”. I saw it with other videos about this film a few months ago and I could almost feel the realty of those kids it is very harsh to see.

Wine cellar Santa Ema

Hello everyone!

Now I have to talk you about a building I like. I start searching in the web because I couldn’t think about a building I knew. It was very difficult to me to find some building that was located in some place I knew but then my boyfriend reminds me of a building close to his home.  I have seen it sometimes when we travel to his home in Isla de Maipo. This is a modern building from 2003. It was constructed to be a wine cellar from the Santa Ema vineyard to disassociate the wine from the traditional architecture. It situated in a green valley in El Peral, Isla de Maipo close to The Andes mountain range that we can see from then. The building is very geometric and contrasts with the nature and the organic land that surround it. Above all, the constructions that are there and in the town that are the most structures of wood.  Although is the field that dominate the landscape, this construction is besides a highway that join the country, the nature of the place with the urban planning of the nearby cities.

A place to eat: Parrillada La Uruguaya

Hi everyone!

In the following post I will tell you about my recommendation to a restaurant. In general I like lots of types of food and I think that everything is in the way of cooking it. 

Uruguay sub 17 football team

Here in Santiago I have eaten in a few restaurants but the restaurant I like the most is Parrillada La Uruguaya. Not just because they’re great at what they do but because it’s the place I like to go when my family visits me here. It’s like a tradition to us that when my brother or I arrive to Iquique the next Sunday is a day of barbecue, so when they come here we get together again and go to Parrillada La Uruguaya. The place that I use to go was located on Rancagua Street very close to Vicuña Mackenna but that place got burned, so the last time we went to Av. José Domingo Cañas corner José Manuel Infante. I just know about a new place in Condell near Rancagua in replacement of the burned one. They serve barbecues with a variety of meats. And their specialties, besides the barbecues, are the “pamplonas”, chorizos and the black puddings. 

So that’s my recommendation for you… The bad thing of this it’s that I get hungry! I’d like to eat a special barbecue NOW!
