The "eRiZo"

Hi guys!
In this (I think) last blog I'll tell you about my favorite book, "la elegancia del erizo" - "L'Élégance du hérisson" by Muriel Barbery, a book recommended by one of my school languaje teachers, Gabriela, this is a French novel about the life of a woman and concierge, Renné, who seems to have a simple and banal life, which hides behind that image is a cultured personality full of knowledge. Paloma, a girl from the building where Renné works, has a personality that doesn't fit with her "age", she tells us how she sees Renné, who evidently is the only one who sees her in a real way.

It is a fantastic book, very complex but worth reading !This book it made me reflect and question many things, If you have time and you are tired of everything, read this book.

I read it for the first time at 14, and every time I reat it again I find a new meaning, I this it is one of those books that you undestand best as one has lived more. For the same reason I'll keep reading it whenever I can, who knows I can learn again after that. 

On the cover, Paloma, the girl who at age 13 commits suicide, tired of life that she defines "as a lie".

The RAdiO

Hi ! 

When I read about what this post would be about, I felt that I wouldn't have to write because living in a technological age and I hadn't asked myself what technological device I liked the most or what device I would miss if I didn't have it anymore. 

Thinking about that I came the conclusion that my technological device is the radio, so basic. I cann't imagine a world without music and I don't play any instrument, so I need packaged music, in the radio..., mp3, mp4, record player or otherr are the most precious technology for me, and like the radio includes everyone the other I choose them for them.

I have known the radio for as long as I can remember and I usted it since I was a little girl, maybe, because my mom used ir a lot and always to listen to music, like me! It is strange that now I don't have one in my apartment in Santiago, but I allude to that it must be because today you can listen to music on different platforms, such as cellphones or notebooks.

Even so the radio was the object that started me in this dependence on music, so for that is my favorite object until the end of time!!! hahaha

Hello everyone,

In this post I should tell you about a good friend for me. 

Honestly, I don't have many friends because I'm an alone person, in a good sense because I prefer to spend time with good, honest and friendly people. than with many people who aren't always there to help me. 

So, now I will show you to my best friend, she is called Javiera, we met in 2010 at school in Doñihue, and since that time we have create a very nice support relationship. What I like most about Javiera is its stranger sense of humour, her spontaneity and her constant support towards me. 

For this, we always share moments when we have time, we do simple things like going to walk, to ride, to shop, to watch a movie or to going holydays together.

Now, we are both in the university, so we don't have as much time as before to see us. Even so when we do we have fun moments like before! Javiera is the one of the most important people that I know and I hope she will be my friend for a long time more. 

This is a photo of both.

Yessss, this is my moment, haha 

I like to say that I am a fan of concerts and gigs, paid or free, so for that at my young age I have participated in several of these events, I've been to concert by Chilean and foreign groups and artists, being my favourite the one of Morrissey, that was less than a year ago in the "Gran Arena Monticello".

Morrissey is a singer and music composer that was a member of the famous band called "The Smiths" that played alternative rock music. I knew Morrissey through this band because first I liked their music, and with the time I started to like the Morrissey's music. He plays indie rock, indie pop and alternative rock music since he became in a solo singer 

Going back to the concert... I went alone to that show and it was one of the best decisions because I remember that the atmosphere was special, for most of the audience it was a memory, one way his youth, his past, on the other hand for me the first concert of this artist, his live voice was new and the feeling generated too. This is a moment that I would never forget.

Hi!

It has been a long time since I didn't write here...

So, to start 

When I think in a walk I remember the most important for me (obviously) it was in 2006 when I was 8 years ago. I did the walk with my family, my mom, dad and brother. What we did was climb one of the best knows hill of Lo Miranda (my town) on september 18th.

My family wanted to do this a long time ago, but I was very child, so when I was seven or eight years old, we did it! for this reason, it was a walk that I wanted to do a long time ago, so I was very excited because I had never climb a hill before. I enjoy this walk with my family because this was a moment to share with them and laught too. 

When I think if I like do this again inmediataly I think yes, I did it few years later with my brother but it' s never was like the first time, althought it bring back very nice memories of my chilldhood in my town!

I've had other great walks and much more extreme, but this is for me the most significant.

Hi !!

Today I'm going to write about my favorite hobby.

When I was younger, around 2010, I was born in me the desire to do an activity in the environment, so... to this my parents bought me a bicycle to go out for ride in my town, since this moment ride a bicycle was converted in a hobby, I went out all the weekends with my friends and we went bordering the hills of the sector.

Now I do less this hobby because I don't have a lot of time, because the university and the responsabilies of live alone, don’t leave me much free time, although last year I buy me a bicycle, I worked in the summer and with the money I was able to get my bicycle in Santiago. Here in the city I realized this activity on Sundays when the streets open to pedal.

When I lived in my house with my parents, I practiced this hobby very often, because the place was very comfortable that to ride alone or with friends, now that I live in Santiago I practice ride a bicycle at less one day every two weeks. Anyway to me this is still the best hobby. because de sensation of meet and connect with the environment is wonderful and the most important connect with yourself, because the time inside the bicycle it make you think about the things that you make y you will do.

Well, to ride a bike only you need a helmet and obviously your bike.

So, if you never were make this activity, do it, you don't regret.

This is my baby, named Areta, my city bike.

In the photo appear all my family, first my dad, named Claudio (like me), then my mother, Luisa, next to her my nephew Daniel with his father Matias (my brother) and finally Dafner, the girlfriend of my brother, and me Claudia. 
I love this photo because I think is the only photo where appear all my family and, the most important to me it is the only picture where my dad and my mom appear together, also this was an important moment to the family because my brother graduating in a little time!

I hope each one of you have a picture with good memories.

Hi,

If you ask me which is my dream job obviously I will answer you: a photographer.

Since some years ago I started to know the photograph world and I'm interested in the meaning of a picture, what this represents and which is the mesage that I want to give for the people to see. I would like to say that I think that this is more than a job, it is an activity that needs feelings and a good eye to give importance to things that are around you and sometimes that most of people dosn't see. 

I would like do this job because it would allow me to stay in the exterior, and not be limited to staying in one place for much time, maybe working in this area I could travel finding good situations and take photographs that would last in time.

I think that the only quality that you need is the inspection of your environment, all the others support tools you can learn with time and dedication.

I think (and I hope) I will be good in this job because I like what this means (so I'll make many things so as to be better) and when you like what you do, you do it with much energy!

I don't have a person who inspired me, but the old pictures provoke feelings that I want keep in the time situations that perhaps we don't see or live.

I hope in the future I can do this job.

Hi,

today I'm going to write about my favourite TV programme.

When I was a child I loved to watch "The Powerpuff Girls", this cartoon was about three little girls created by a scientist named Professor Utonium, who become their father, for this these girls have superpowers that they use to watch and guard the city from whoever wants provoke damage in this place, the criminals of Townsvilles city.

The series had its official debut on november 18, 1998 in Cartoon Networks, and the last episode was shown on march 25, 2005 in the same netwoork; although it still plays on the TV programme in Cartoons Network with little frequency.

The Powerpuff Girls I liked so much because it was about supergirls!! I think that unconsciously I enjoyed that the protagonist were girls and also these girls were the superhereos of the city and of the series.
 I grew up watching how the girls can be powerful and strong like anyone, and for this I think that it was a good series for all the childrens, especially for the girls, for the same reason this series shouldn't stop to being shown.

Hi,

If you ask me which city I'd like to visit, inmediately I think in Amsterdam, maybe, because when I was a children I had an obssession with the tulips and bikes, and this city is recognized for these elements, beside some years ago I had to do a presentation about this city and I said: I MUST VISIT THIS PLACE.

I think that what I know of this city is not much, it's situated in Netherlands, Europe;  the people have a cultural education much better that ours, they respect the environment, use the bicycle to move in the city, the tulips are their flower and they have festival to celebrate it.

If I travel to this city I'd like to know it only on a bike, and go to the spring festival when they celebrate the tulips, fot this I want to go between march or may, because in these months the tulips 

bloom and the color of his fields is wonderfull, very showy whit stronge colors. 

I'd like to go alone, because it's a place that I have wanted to know since very young and to visit it will be a good moment to know myself and enjoy only with my person. (or other person, maybe).

Hi,
My name is Claudia, but I like people to call me Clau.
I'm 20 years old, I'm studying architecture, this is my second year in this carrer and
I live alone in an appartament in Santiago since this year. I'm from Doñihue, a town from the sixth region.
I have two dogs in my house and I love them.
