Chelsea's Zhirkov eager to punish Spartak for goal dig

Chelsea want to classify as quickly as possible to the second rums of the UEFA Champions League. Next wednesday, the London team will face against Spartak Moscow on a new date in group F.

This match will be important for Yuri Zhirkov, Chelsea`s Russian defense. He start his career in CSKA, rival team of Spartak of Moscow. Has always been with the team by identifying, so this game will be taken as a personal battle.

Zhirkov made it 2 -0 at Moscow´s Luzhniki stadium, his first goal since moving to Stamford Brifge in July 2009. This caused that Spartak's billionaire owner Leonid Fedun to quip: "Zhirkov shoots like this once every five years. Unfortunately, it happened in our match".
For that, Zhirkov responded with tranquility: "I've read these comments by Mr Fedun and want to prove him that he really underestimates me".

Like he´s a defense, it is very difficult to make goals for his team. However, that does not stop to make the score when his team needed. Generally, the goals of the defenses are headers, but Zhirkov converted from the corner, shooting him one of the best date.

The next match will be playing in London, in the afternoon. The "blues" must win the match to can near to the classify, because Chelsea have 9 points and Spartak is a second place with 6. If Chelsea reach the three points, would be the first team of the group F in the Champios League. If you want know more information, go to this link.

Kusturica and Miyazaki

One time I was reading one text by Slavok Sizek about culture serbia and the multiculturalism. There appeared one movie that Sizek analyzed: "Underground", by Emir Kusturica. I start my search about this film director and I found "The Time of the Gypsies". It was the more great and fantastic movie that I watched.

This movie told the story about a gypsy family from Yugoslavia, full of magical powers, which occupy a series to address social problems living belong to one of the poorest areas of the site. Like never I´ve seen, this movie entertained me much and with it I learned that the movies were my thing, especially Kusturica´s films. It was there that I realized that all the movies that there are great achievements, but the art film, it was my passion.

I have my check list of movies that I like it. My first five are: Citizen Kane, Cinema Paradiso, Where is my friend house, Wall-E and The Time of the Gypsies.

However, the films I like are those who talk about culture, identity, things that do not appear in all movies. For example, Europe and Latin America are that I like the way of demonstrating this issue. Join this, one a good movie must work with good colors, pictures and good details.

Between the Asian movies, I like Chihiro, Naucika, Porco Rosso, Ponyo, Totoro and The Mononoke Princess. They are animations by Hayao Miyazaki, my other favorite film director.
Kusturica and Miyazaki could associate, because together, they will work miracles.

But, althought I don´t think that have bad movies, there films that I don´t like. The terror movies, demoniac and gore movies, don´t like me. I preffer other films that show good stories and not blood. Inside of good movies, they are the so bad movies... You know!!



"Time of the Gypsies" Trailer-1988

The great Doc. Martin

I don´t like many tv shows. In fact, when I do "zapping", sometimes I watch programs like Californication, Dr. House, 24 (all them are so funny!!) But, one day, with my parents, I used the remote control until that we found an a program that like us: Doc Martin.

Doc Martin is a ver flemathic britanic doctor that lives in a little town in England. He meet an pretty teacher called Louisa, who fall in love with him. He is a very unpleasant man, but, even if one don't believe it, he have feelings (hides in his hearth). Louisa and Martin have a love relationship, where each one must to promise eternal love. However, wiht the arrival of a former girlfriend of Martin, things even more worse.

I like it because is a similar TV show than Dr. House. Just that´s an english version. I think that it´s a perfect reflect with them: the english people. So, it´s very funny and "atipic". It is different of other TV shows for many aspects: it show one culture that we don´t know, is a critical program about social and economic level in the country, between others things. The sensation that leave me doesn´t compares with 24 or Fresh Prince, Alf or Disney TV shows, for example... Althought they are differents.

Well, I feel good. Wiht the adventures of Doc. Martin, I found something that I wanted from was a child. I laugh, I enjoy with every silly that say. It´s is a serious TV show, but, is impossible contain one´s laughter. Doc. Martin like us to all family members.

Is obvious that my favorite character is the Doc. Martin, one doctor that nobody would having to visit, but, everybody want having like a friend. Louisa not be left behind, because besides being cute and sexy, is a great woman.



If you can watch it, tune Film and Arts every wednesday at 11 pm... Soon, the new season!!!

Spartacus and the sun beneath the sea

If I must talk about a cartoon, "Spartacus and the sun beneath the sea" is my favourite. When I was a child, between 1994 - 1995, I watched on TV this freak but beautiful cartoon.



Spartacus is a gladiator of the Barkad´s desert, that must save a magic place called Arcadia. Arcadia is almost dead because it needs a special sun to live. Spartacus fights for the life of the sun. He finds good guys: Arkana, Rebecca and Mat. All of them worked together until they had a solution.

Many friends don´t know about it. I watched with my big brother, but, generally alone. I liked it because its story was exciting. "Spartacus and the sun beneath the sea" had a incredible story. I was very young, but I understood everything. It wasn´t a boring cartoon. It mixed mitology, adventures, great draws: it taught us to take care of nature, the simple things. Arcadia was a world that everybody dreamed of.

For me, the best thing that the cartoon had was the spacecraft. Therid was an intelligent blue vehicle that could fly, speak and think. He transported Spartacus and his friends anywhere. He was fantastic!!

Now, there aren´t cartoons like that. Spartacus taught. It was a simple cartoon, but rich like story. Personally, the cartoons died when Captain Planet was over. After of him, everything on TV changed. And changed for bad.

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.
