Chile's Bicentenary

This year has been really hard to our country because we started with the biggest earthquake that we have ever heard. The thing is that we had to support to all of our people here helping them with a lot of ways, we made a telethon to collect money to some food, clothes, bed-clothes, mattresses, and money to build new houses to the people that need it. But that shock was awful because we lost a lot of material things and also we were really scared before and after the movement. And that event was one of the most important events, months later we had to support to our football team because of the world cup ! we didn’t win but we enjoyed it very much because we won 2 of 3 games and we really dreamed with that cup, that was great ! Another breaking new that shocked to our people was the accident that 33 miners had in a mine, they have been there waiting for rescue during around 1 month… at first we thought that they were died but they weren’t! they survived with stronger and faith and we were so proud about the strength of our compatriots! But all of this is about our hard year and now in September we have to celebrate our country birthday! We usually meet with our families and enjoy meal with salads or different kind of foods too. But eating is not everything to us of course, we try to go to places called “fondas” they are a kind of place where people goes to eat something or drink something and play typical games. But the wrong part of this date is that many people drives crazy with all of that I mean they drink more than they should do it, or drink more and they get fat and everything turnaround in a bad way. On september 18 accidents are a lot and many people die because of the drink. That’s one of the bad things in this month but by the way we try to enjoy it with family and friends and this bicentenary will not the exception!

My winter vacation

Well, they started before everybody hahaha... and i'm not kidding. It was a tuesday when i decided to come back to my home. I was missing my family and friends and i had to wait 3 days to review my final marks... but i couldn't and i came back with no information about my final evaluation!... but i didn't care because i could see it by internet . Nothing of that happened so i saw my marks online and i felt happy about my first term. So i came back on tuesday and i said that i will arrive on friday even saturday! it was an amazing surprise to everybody and i felt so so happy! ^^ was incredible so that day i stayed at home with my family. On wednesday i started to be with my friends because they were on vacation and those days were the last to them so i had to be with them only that days. I was with my two best friends Camila and Karla , but also i was with an important friend, Pablo who was a very important person in high school until today... why? because he was my first guitarist! and the only one ever so i could sing with him a lot of songs and that was amazing because as you know, i love singing and it's one of my favourite things to do in my free time... not only in free time of course... every minute! :) ...and with him the conection is amazing to make me feel comfortable to sing :), by the way that was the first week. The second one was better , i went to Santiago with my dad and my sister to my aunt's apartment to stay there and make different kind of activities. First day we went shopping and we went to "biblioteca nacional" and "cerro Santa Lucia" because i really wanted to go there; next day we went to mercado central and that was amazing i really enjoyed when i was there with part of my family ! ... and then we decided to go to the cinema to see "karate kid" very good movie indeed. But then my dad has to come back to San Fernando because he was missing so much my mom so he traveled to San Fernando... alone, because with my sister decided to stay there hahaha. With that decision we could buy clothes and boots but more important than that was that i was with pablo again! :D hahaha yes with my friend, we could were together there visitting different places and singing and recording what we prepared , was... the best thing i think. But i had to come back :( so i traveled to San Fernando on friday to be with my parents and to have a rest. The next weeks was only friends <3 and family and was really good to be my winter vacation :D i didn't want to come back but well i had to do it because is what i have to do... and now i have to study ...to have my summer vacatioooooooooooon :D

fashion in football world cup

this time i really love it ! the football world cup time! :D the football in my life has been really important in my family but it sounds strange if we talk about a family with 3 women and only one man. It's true ... my mom think that's funny but she really don't care about it, but me and my sister really love the football! we usually go to San Carlos de Apoquindo stadium to see our favorite team play the matches: Universidad Católica. And my dad well... he is a man... so he has te love football like every man around the world haha. So in my home the football world cup it's an important event, in fact we spend all our time watching the matches in my parents' bed together. To us it's not a fashion but to the world obviously it is. The sellers start to offer things like shirts, balls, caps, flags, make up to draw the colors of each country's flag and other things, and we, to be fashion and make everything better like a big carnival. This world cup 2010 has been in South Africa in which there are many races, languages and cultures. So this world cup is good to know about the continent and the cultures of people that leave really far away from here. This year we have been known the characteristics of those persons and their culture of course... something that we know now is a kind of bugle called vuvuzelas . At the begining it was great the sound and it was funny... nowadays is unbearable! the sound is horrible and they don't let us hear the typical noises of a stadium :( ... by the way the world cup is a carnival around the world that join all the people because of the most popular game... football :D

go shopping !

when i was a little kid, i really hated to go shopping... for me it wasn't interesting to go to the centre to choose different kinds of clothes because for me it wasn't really important. I prefered to wear the clothes that my mon used to buy for me ... i hated to try on new clothes! when i had to wear two, three until ten clothes in a shop! aggg no way! but first i had to take off all my clothes and try one by one pieces of dress... no no really disgusting for me ... i prefered a thousand times more to go with my dad to hardware store like homecenter sodimac, easy, etc. That was really interesting for me. But things have changed. Now that i grew up i'm a teenager .. almost an adult! and i like to go shopping to buy new clothes with which i can look better. Everything started with my family of course. I used to go with them to Rancagua the biggest city nearest of mine where it was "mall center" a big shopstore and there we used to pass the whole day reviewing new clothes and buying another kind of things.... i really loved those days and i miss them too. But now we just buy new clothes in my city, san fernando beacuse we don't have enough time to spend a whole day in Rancagua. This summer i had to buy new clothes because i really didn't have because of the school. I had only school-dress so i needed! nowadays i've got a lot of beautiful clothes and i really love to go shopping with my friends my mom and sister... it's really funny (:

eating out

One of my favorite activities is eating out with my family. I usually do it twice a year ... at the end of our holidays and at the begin of the year (: . From the begining, when i was a little girl we used to go to "moneglia" a small restaurante in San Fernando where we used to eat bread with cheese and meet, the famous "barros luco" and other sandwiches. We really enjoyed those moments because with my sister were kids and my parents were youngest so we used to talk and play. With the years, we started to go to better restaurantes like " la carreta " in San Fernando too , and the conversations changed to different topics . Also we started to travel on winter vacation to 4th region , Coquimbo and La Serena and there we visited a lot of restaurantes eating seefood, special courses and big sandwiches of course. Something that i've never eaten is sushi... everybody talks about it and i haven't have the opportunity to taste it but really i wouldn't like to test it, i've got the idea of a row fish and it sounds disgusting! . Something that i always eat is "barros luco" and something called " bistec a lo pobre" and i'm not kidding. I would eat like a lady but i eat sometimes like a pig ! and bistec a lo pobre is something a really love. Consists in a piece of meet with fried onions, potatos and eggs ... with a bread? gosh it's exquisite! here's a picture of me and my family eating in "La Recova" in Coquimbo. greetings! ^^

my ideal date situation (:

first of all i have to mention the following : i don't like dates! and i'm not kidding because i feel uncomfortable!.. nothing better than an improvised date. But by the way i would like to be with a nice guy in a special place, for example not everywhere and everybody goes i mean cinema, restaurantes, or to take an ice cream ... NOT! I would like to walk around the city just chatting. If the guy is interesting and smart, i would be with him everywhere ! so for me it doesn't matter the place. If it was in a park i would like to talk with him common things like music, football ( because i like it ), movies, etc. i think then we should go to eat something but no things like hot-dogs, ice cream and snacks... i like pizza! Now about the partner, he has to have a good sense of humor because i really like laughing :D and i've got a good sense of humor too so he has to be funny. Also he has to be taller than me ... i know that's a detail but i prefer them hahaha. I usually prefer fair guys ( it's thing of tastes ), with a beautiful smile and i don't mean he has to have all his teeth with beautiful mouth no... i like when a guy has a bright smile that makes ME smile ! and of course an interesting look. In addition he has to be a gentleman... he has to talk well and he has to have well manners. At the end of the date each one has to pay the things have sold and i say that because it's fair and i usually eat a lot ! so it's not fair for him to pay aaaaaaaall of my expenses. So that's my idea of a great date with the right guy , greetings (:

When I arrived at Talca, I thought: “ my life will change completely” and I wasn’t wrong. I changed my home, my city, my classmates, everything! Except my family and friends of course. But it has been amazing for me, everything, since my life in a new home ‘til my life in the university. I was used to be with my classmates in my school, like kids, everybody really similar of each other… but here at the university everything is so different! .For example , I found different kinds of people, tastes, customs, etc.
I begin with classes later than in the school and my times are so different. It depends of my responsibility to assist to all of my classes and to study regularly. But that’s great and I like very much all of that because with this I can grow up like a better person. Sometimes I have to go home to have lunch because it’s more expensive if I eat at university; but when I have lunch at home I have to be with my hostal-mates really nice too. I have been known a lot of new people, my classmates for example! The most important for me are Silvana, Bastian, Antonieta, Angela, Fabiana, Jose, Sergio and Pablo. I used to sit in the middle of the classroom among my friends because in the first line it’s disgusting for us and we can’t comment anything, and in the last line we can’t hear and see so good. I really enjoy everyday in the university because I can laugh, talk, sing, study and play with nice guys. Here I found people really nice, with similar tastes and that’s stunning because my tastes are really strange. My life has changed completely, but it has been amazing and I’m really happy today with all of the new things in my life.
