My blogging experience

Today I’m going to talk about my blog experience. This is the first time that I have a blog, because I think that a blog requires maintenance and a lot of time. You have to dedicate to you blog, if you want to have a good one. And I actually get boring really fast. My blog could last a month, and then I forget it. But, thanks to my English class, I could be able to maintain a blog a complete semester. I enjoy it because I think it’s an original way to learn. I our times technology is essential, internet o most everything. Expressing through online webpage’s is the way that people use in our days to communicate. The fact that in our English class has to make a blog and use it, shows that education can apply in modern terms and can be modeled according to how people changes. Technology has to be promoted to learn too, not just to have fun and do nothing productive. That’s why I think blogs are a good technique, especially in English where we have to learn how to write and communicates. Writing posts and posting what others companions do, we learn how to express ourselves in another language. Also allow us to be creative and use our imagination. Give us free way of expression. And not just that, but help me to improve my English, to think what I’m going to write and how am I going to say it, what’s the best way to put it and how to develops ideas. Aside, reading post of my classmates I learn about their mistakes and improvements. A disadvantaged could be that we actually work in front of a computer a complete hour. In brief, it was an original and good experience, it’s not such a heavy thing to do, it’s fun and you learn.

My Favorite Movie

Today I'm going to write about my favourite movie: Howl's Moving Castle. I've seen this movie for the first time two years ago and I just love it. The images, the history, the music ... everything is original. It was directed by Hayao Miyazaki (the same director of Shihiro) and it's based in the novel written by Diana Wynne Jones with the same name. This movie tells the history of Sophie, a girl who works in a hat's store and lives a monotonous life. Suddenly, she meets Howl, a wizard who's passing by the town and lives in a moving castle. He's an egocentric and vain magician. All the girls in town are in live with him. She's a brave and generous girl that doesn’t matter that kind of things. One day, a witch appears in her store and throws a curse on her, because the witch wants Howl's heart and thought that Sophie could reach him, when she only saw Howl one time. The witch became she an old woman. Sophie, who accepts the fact very well, went out of her house to find another place to live like an old woman. In her way she finds Howl's moving castle and decide to enter and live there like the maid. She thought that Howl it was not going to recognize her. But Howl knew who she really are and he was the only one who can see her has a young lady. Sophie fell in love with Howl, despite he was a pretentious, and, at the end of the movie, she gets to save him from himself. Howl fell in love with Sophie to, but he was full of trouble and didn’t know how to express his love. It's a absolutely magic love history, with great images and a amazing music. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2006. I could watch this movie like a thousand times and a never get boring.

I know it’s a little egocentric to put a picture of myself, but I don’t feel like search for photos and the important is the landscape. I think this picture was taking by my younger sister, but I don’t remember very well. Actually, it’s was a surprise one, so I’m not posing, even though it looks like :P. Here I’m in El Valle del Elqui, in a dam by the way to the town. It’s was really beautiful and high, the wind was blowing so strong that you had to stand firm, or you fell down. It was very difficult to lean over the railing, like I’m doing in my picture, because you have to contend with the wind . My hair fluttering strongly, but it was cool :D. It was taking like two years ago, when I went there with my family and some friends. That was the second time I had been there, in El Valle del Elqui. I love that place, it’s so calm and beautiful, even though you really have nothing to do there. It’s cool only for a day :D. In fact, you can go to Gabriela Mistral's house, to the astronomical observatory and to visit some ruins of a already death culture- I don’t remember which one- and at the middle of the day the list of activities ends :P. So, we go to the river or to swimming pools and expend the rest of our day there. Well, returning to the picture, that dam was amazing, despite it was artificial. I like this picture because I remember that place, and you can see a panoramic view of the mountains and the valley. Remembers me also the wind, so strong, and the sky so blue. It’s not my favorite, but I like it very much. :)

Agustina

Today I’m free again to talk about everything I want. So, I’m going to tell you about my little dog, named Agustina. She is a schnauzer, a pedigree dog from Alemania. She came at home two years ago, because my little sister wanted a pet so much. My dad took a long time to make a decision. It could not be any dog, because in that time we lived in an apartment, so it would have to be a very quiet and small dog. My mum didn’t want a hysterical dog either, so a poodle was, of course, rule out. We search a lot, until we find a pedigree that, apparently, filled our requirements, and that pedigree was schnauzer. The description of this kind of dog it’s that they are very loving, protective and smarts. So, we bought and schnauzer and she results to be all that things and more. She is very hairy, looks like a sheep sometimes, and likes to be around you all the time. It’s small, but I think that she believes that she has a bigger size, because attack any dog, even if he is a huge dog. It’s very funny as well, does all kinds of silly things, like having afraid to the broom, so when we sweep the floor, she usually hides. I think she believes she is a human, sometimes act like a little baby, but she’s certainly not: D. I really love her, she is so cut and warming and always come to say hi to me when I get home, every day. She is a hairy felt. :)

My notebook ♥

I’m not really a technology fan. I just don’t care so much about how modern it’s my cell phone or my music player, that kind of things doesn't call my attention, but if I have to choose a favorite piece of technology that would be my notebook. My mums give it to me as a present two years ago, because I’m a very god daughter :P and a I use it every day. I need it, for example, to check my email or to do my college works, to listen to music, to search the net, to read books … actually, o most everything. I have very important things saved in my notebook: pictures, books, videos, recordings, old photos ... all in just one place. I really like it because it’s not like those netbooks where you have to shrug your shoulders to write. This is a big one and I love that! Also I can carry it with me anywhere I go. I can lied in my bed and be with my notebook without any trouble, listening to music, chatting, watching movies or musicvideos, or just working. The only bad thing it’s that, sometimes, I put more attention to what’s happening in the notebook that what’s in my reading for college work! It’s very difficult concentrate with my notebook open! It’s so much tempting. I just have one complain, even I love it, I think that would be much nicer a white notebook: D … because mine is black, or any color actually, like purple or green :)

My last summer

Hi everyone! Today I can talk about anything I want. I can choose the topic! :D So I’m going to tell you about my last summer. The last vacation I went to La Serena, a beach located at the north of Chile in the IV region. It’s a very nice place to go on holidays, because it’s very quiet and beautiful city. The beach is very long and the water is warmer than in the center beaches. I went with my family and some friends and we stay in a summer house, a little far from the beach but it was a very pleasant place to stay. In the morning we went out for a walk, after launch we went down to the beach and at nigh went down to the center of the city or to Coquimbo, a nearby city. The seaside that I like the most was Totoralillo, a beach with white sand and turquoise water very concurred, but it’s was worth the crowd. I like the beach in summer, but a love it in winter. For me go to the beach in winters holidays it’s the best break. I would love to live nearby to the sea. I think that when I’ll be older I’m going to move to a seaside :). It was a very good vacations that I always going to remember (:

Max Weber biography:

I choose to write about Max Weber. He was a German sociologist and political economist, son of protestant parents, who lived between 1864 and 1920. He has a particular vision of sociology that in his time was actually a very original one. He thinks that the center of the investigation should be individuals’ action and their meaning. But, it’s difficult to discover the real significant on the human acting, that’s why he development a methodology to decipher the individual action and this way understand the society, always under the premise that the collective action it’s not the same that the reunion of all individuals actions. Two of his most famous works are The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (1905) and Economy and Society (1914), where in general terms, speaks about how Protestantism expand the idea of capitalism in Europe, especially in Germany and how society create her own ways of production . He writes in a very complex way, so requires lots of concentration.I like him because his vision of sociology change the way that people use to watch society , adding to the subject action an important paper overvalued in that century.
