Serbia and the gipsies

One of the countries that I would like to know, could be Serbia. Really, I like all the balcans countries, but Serbia has something that I love its culture and traditions.

I like Kusturica movies. He´s a bosnian film director and always he shows his culture, the balcanic traditions. When I watch "The Time of the Gypsies", by him, I loved this place and I began to study about it: their political, education norms, and everything.

I would like to know Serbia, because the gypsy culture was born there. It´s a beautiful land. The buildings are old constructions, all perfect and elegant good.

However, after I know the country, I would like to visit the Danubio river. The gypsies live there, in launchs and tents. Who have much money, can own earths and houses around the river, but, everyone lives in extreme poverty.

In Serbia, I will do anything. Principally, I would like to know Belgrad, their capital. I´ll see a Red Star of Belgrad football match. I´ll buy a serbian -croatian dictionary to learn the language. Then, I would like to go where gypsies live. After, I´ll stay with them, trying of learn their traditions. With my family, we´ll travel through all Serbia!!!

More than work, I would like stay to live and investigate something that I like. In Occident, the people don´t know about their culture. For this reason, I ´ll write a serbian culture book for many people will enjoy with the balcans. And also, I´ll try to learn their music, that´s so funny.

New term in English

The last term of 2010 was very tiring for me. Each class was very difficult, principally "Enfoques Latinoamericanos", where I didn´t have good marks. Well, the university life is this. But, I learned things that I never thought to study, like public relations or organizational communication by profesor Laureano Checa. He´s a litlle bureaucratic for his business, but with him I learned very much. Whatever!! It was a wonderfull experience.
However, like the academic demand didn´t leave me in peace, neither I could do many sports activities. Just on holidays, I played football or basketball with my friends, but for a short time. Between the subjects that I studied, shoot the ball on saturday or sunday without have anything after, it was unbelieveble. In fourth year of Journalism they teach us TV Production, and everyone had that go out to film. That was very tiring, because it demands a lot of time. No rest, no free time, no nothing!! But I survived.
I´m from Los Andes. I traveled almost every day. The problem was that in my city, neither I could have free time.
Now, I have many challenges for this term. The first is to get my Social Comunicator´s degree, so I can do class in the university. After, I want to work in my professional practise... God want that it will be in my dear Los Andes and not here, in Santiasko!!! The second is become a good journalist.
But, the most important is to live in calm with my parents, my litlle cat and everybody happy. They are relevant for me, but without them, I´m nothing. They are sacrifying for me... Now, it´s my turn.

Essay "Blog: Creativity"

I have always lived by this quote: “Look to the world with creativity”. Creativity has many options to be expressed. From paintings to pictures, creativity is a way to keep a place in the universe. But, one way to show creativity is writing. Messages or letters, to write is a beautiful way to express anything. For this, the English blogs are very important to bring about the good stories. Writing helps the creation of little worlds that will keep amused and qualified expressions. The technology promote that, to slant of means of comunication´s mass and socials nets like Facebook, Twitter and Blogger.

My first homework in my blog was to talk about me. At the beginning, I found out that writing in a web page was very boring, because I always had thought that talking about oneself isn´t interesting. However, a few days after, I had to make an entrance about my favourite person (Emir Kusturica). My perception changed completly. I understood that, slowly, writing in the English Course blog was something special for me. In a small space, I could express myself with freedom, rising important topics for my development. , Also, writing in my blog developing my english: the practise create the master!!

In a blog you can talk about many topics of your life. In fact, when I did my English mode for the first time, I wanted to take advantage to tell life’s stories. More than speaking about how many hours I had to write or if I like to write or not, the construction of blog allows to satisfy expectations in our life. Writing a blog is inventing a new world, a new tale that keeps creativity alive.

For this reason, each entrance needs a good title and paragraphs that tell ideas, motivations and opportunities to crystallize new topics. By writing blogs, I can open my mind to others areas: I like to talk about my life, my best friend, my favourite person, my family, pleasures and feelings. Creativity allows a new way to look the world when people sit in front of a computer, stare at the screen, and start writing and creating an interesting story.

Opportunities are given and I take advantage of them. I learned how to use a blog, to wrote in it, but it was difficult to speak about myself. My experience in writing a blog helped me in having a small place to express myself. For this reason, my blog is called “The villero”, because I like cumbia (music style). Developing creativity is very easy to do if you work in a blog, like I did.

Blogs simbolyze the creative process.Writing messages in a blog improves creativity. It´s an effective way to stimulate the imagination. I think that creativity is developed. Everybody can use an effective way to reach their goals. This blog is not just a homework, it´s also a great way to stimulate our inspirative process.

Dear Future in the Villero´s heart

Talk about the future is very interesting for me. I have many plans for my life, but not so ambiciuos. In the university, I understand that the life is more than reports, interviews and knowedge. It´s also, something that everybody must enjoy until the end days.
But, the love is a very important topic in my future. I´ll like to have a love partner, find a girlfriend that come with me forever. The marriage is a great idea, because I think that´s a oportunity to grow and to share oor hearts. I never has had a girlfriend, but I want to one.
After, I like have my family with the sons that God want to give me (they are a godsend). In fact, between more childrens, my future will be more funny and beautifull.
I like the childrens... Do you think the same?!!!
In the job, I believe something that is very reasonable: I preffer to be happy that have money. For that, I study Journalism, a career without many job vacancies but I like too much. One begin to grasp that Journalism don´t is just TV or radio, also it´s research, make projects, to learn funny and interesting matters, between others things.
I´ll like to be a great teacher in the university and a goo researchman. I would like the Culture Studies, and I want to take a master in that. The comunications and their theories are my passion. I want to reach an high degree to became a doctor in that, because I think that to analyze and examine what happen in the society, is my stronge. For this, I prepare mi CV and I study and read too much to achieve that.
All this, I do for my family and to me. My parents are very important to my future. I want to have them with life, to get together in our plans.
I don´t care where to work. But, do something for my dear Los Andes, would be great!! I´ll want to live there, or Valdivia (because I like the rain). However, God will know.

The marriage

This photograph was taken by my cousin Perla. She is 20 years old and takes very prety pictures. It shows my parents, my brother with his wife, and me. We were in his house. It was a special day, because my brother was starting new phase in his life, one of the most beautifull events to anyone.
It was taken on last May 22nd, just after the most important bother´s celebration: his marriage!!
He married at 1 pm, in a cloudy day. It was near to rain, but, anything hinder this event.
It was wonderfull. I like it for a simple reason: my family were very happy. Just most watch their faces. For my parents, it was something special, because their firstborn child was married, forever, giving them pride and hope.

The celebration during almost 10 hours, just with the necesary people. I had gone just twice to events like that, because I don´t have the opportunity. My family have more experience in this, but everybody, I thing that is the first time.

I have many pictures to can choose. Perla taken more than 200 photographs. But, in this we were who must were. For this reason, I´d want show it and speake of this. Only missed my cat, Perchan, that obviously can´t to be. I know that it was very cheerful.

It´s a little photograph, but, it says too much. It´s a way to find special familiar events, details to remember beautifull things. My mom almost cry; my dad, the same. This protograph show a magic moment, where everybody forget bad happens.

Maybe, had events or actions that were so bad between us. However, to see how your brother is married with the girl that love him like anything, except my mom, is feel hope, pride, real love.

It´s not a professional picture, but it´s so better. One happy family, haven´t price!!

Capital Punishment: so Bad!!

For many people, the Capital Punishment is a great solution to reduce criminality in Chile. But, they are wrong. I think that this "law" is an excuse not to improve good policies and to finish with the problem forever. In fact, everybody has a second opportunity in life. Killing will never be a good way to confront delinquency and crime.
For me, this law doesn´t have pros. Only cons. I think that could create many social problems, like freedom to kill, citizen justice ("eye for an eye") and practices out of the legacy. If one guy wants to destroy another guy, with this law could do that.
More than finding the Capital Punishment in jails and accuseds, the governement should worry about the education of these people and also, to promote the mass and low class rights. They are more vulnerables, because anybody had been able to do something. Like nation, we need more public politics to serve for the comunity.
Also, I think that the origin of the increasing criminality of Chile is something that I sayd: the education. If don´t education politics to improve the quality life and teach us to take advantage of develop our country, the people willn´t know what do with their lifes. The robbers need money to life... If the society doesn´t give oportunities for them, what more he can do?
I had been victim of a crime. One day, I went in Transantiago. There were many people. I traveled listen to music when one guy stole my mp3. Was a pick pocketting. He went out so quick, and I couldn´t to do nothing.

Christmas Day

Christmas day is a beauty moment to enjoy in family. This day, the Catholic people remember the Jesus Christ birthday. We celebrate on 25th of December all together. We wait many weeks to this time. On 24th of December night, my family and I go to mass. Many people get together the peace and love. At church, that´s feel very good, because the faith help to enrich the spirit.
After, we come back at home to have dinner. At midnight, we open the Christmas presents. Later, my brother visit us. We celebrate for a moment, and then we go to bed. Of this way, I spend it my time.
I do that always, every year. In last time wasn´t exception, because I´m very catholic... I don´t shame say that. The mass started at 8 pm. One hour before, my family and I we got ready to the celebration. The mass during almost two hours, and after we returned at home. My mom prepared meat with tomato´s salad. At midnight, we went to living room to see the Christmas presents. We share with our next-door neighbors and we sleep like at 2 am.
I don´t like do anything. I wont change anything. I like it, just like this. To be with my family is the most wonderfull Christmas present that God give me. One year of life for us is the best... I don´t need anymore.
