Blog experience...

It’s time to say goodbye so, personally I have to say that post in the blog is the part that I like most about the class. At first I didn’t like the subjects, because were repeated with the other class (English 3) and as I already wrote about that was a little boring. But then, they became more entertaining and interesting.

This semester the post I enjoyed writing most was “Ten things I'd like to do before I die”, maybe because I don’t usually think of these things and at time of writing the blog I noticed that ten things were very few thing and actually are so many things I want to do before I die and I hadn’t even thought hahaha.

The posts I enjoyed writing least I think were three “A journey” (To the north of Chile), “A photograph you like” and “A country” (Thailand), like I said before I didn’t these topics because in the blog of the past semester we already had published then it was difficult for me to decide for one photo or a country, if I have a favorite photo for example.

The blogs I always visited and I enjoyed very much were Marcela and Karla’s blogs, because they are my friends and my classmates not only in this class but in other classes of geography too. I don’t mean that I haven’t seen and enjoyed reading the blogs of other classmates.

In fact, the most attractive blog I think is the Martin’s blog; it has a great and interesting design. Personally I don’t know how to use the blog’s templates and configuration, but I think this blog is very nice… the nicest of the class.

Something of art...

Even when I don’t know much about art, I really like it, I enjoy a museum, looking the collections, the details of each piece of art…

I remember a day in January, 2008. I was in Santiago, waiting for a friend in Lastarria so, I decided to know the MAVI museum that is right there. When I was in, there was an exposition very interesting; there were three works of art that  really caught my attention. One of them had a landscape made ​​of toasted breads, the other represented a giant stain, but when I approached, I noticed that it was made of toy soldiers. And the last, which was maybe the most significant for me, I found amazing, very original, In fact I’ve never seen a piece of art like that. It was fifty-five sheets of telephone directory painted with Chinese ink, the silhouette of a girl underwater was represented in them. When I was seeing this work of art, there was a guy at a table ordering phone guides, each guide contained an equal copy in all its sheets, there were fifty-five guides that corresponded to this last piece of art, which was called "Detained in Apnea".

He asked me if I wanted to take a copy and I understood that all these copies were for the public, and then told me he was graduated in arts from the University of Chile and I started talking about art.

Another pieces of art that I like very much are the watercolors of Antonio Oyarzún. He’s a painter of La Unión, but many of his watercolors represent different places of Valdivia. I've been lucky to be in some of his exhibitions and to meet him personally. His greatest influence has been the painter Ricardo Anwandter. I don’t remember exactly when was the first time I saw one of his works of art, but I've always admired him and I liked the variety of colors he uses for his art and the places that he represents. The piece of art that I show here is called "Tugboat El Pampino".

Bridget Jones's Diary

When I have free time, I spend most of the time watching movies. The last year I broke my ankle so, I passed like a month in a bed and I couldn’t do anything apart from watching a lot of movies… I really passed all the day watching different sort of films.

Personally I prefer comedies and romantic movies, and if these two genre are joined, even better. Is about that, my favorite movie is “Bridget Jones’s diary”, the first movie and the second part “Bridget Jones: The edge of the reason”. These are two films that I never tired of watching again and again, even I have to say that I have them hahaha. The first time that I watched was on the TV in my home, the first part, and the second part I was in the school in Valdivia with my classmates (we was all women xD).

On this film act Reneé Zellweger as Bridget, Hugh Grant as the bad guy that hurts her, Daniel Cleaver and Colin Firth as a good guy that really loves her, Mark Darcy.

I think this movie is the sort of the movies for girls haha… I love to watch it, because I always laugh with it, because Bridget is a very particular character (like how she dress), from her family to her romances, she never goes unnoticed and that entertains you the whole movie. Is not the typical romance movie, always when she is sad about love, something funny happens, each character, even her friends gives a humor touch to the movie.
