booK

Nowadays I am reading a book called "Little bird of heaven", wroten by Joyce Carol Oates (american author), which was a gift from by brother for christmas the last year, so when I recieved it I had no idea what it was about, I just knew it was a contemporary novel.

I started to read it during the holidays , and at the begining it semeed a little slow and bored, but when I got envolved with it I liked more and more. So I read it during all the summer and I am still doing it, because it's a long book and I am reading it slowly. I believe this is a very good book, the author writes in a very poethic way and she is very retailer, she describes everything that happen, the contexts, emotions and fellings from the characters but in a way that desn't make you bore, in fact, it gets you envolved more through the history, when you progress in reading.

The novel is about a girl's life in '80, and the history occurs in New York, and talks about many situations that happen to her, from her childhood until she becames into a teenager, (I still don't know what happen next) and the and the girl's emotions and events occurs around her parents, specially about her father and the love she feels about him.

ambition.

About this theme I think my ambition is traveling somewhere I have not decide very well yet, there are many place I would like to go, know the culture and the beauty of the world, may be when I have enough money and time I am going to do it.

First, I would like to finish my studies and learn english very well, because then I could comunicate with people in differents places with that language. I would like to know differents cultures around the world, but I believe it's an ambition that seems to be more like a dream. So I'm going to cut it down. I would like to know, first of all, the most importants and beautifuls places of Chile, I know many places but I am sure I know just a 30% or less of this country. the another ambition I have is to to visit, study and work in Europe, living there and learn about Geography and anothers stuff (music, countrysides, people, etc), to go back to Chile and apply everything I learnt there to work like a geographer having a good experience that i will obtain in Europe, in that moment I'll feel prepare to make my family dreams come true.

The best beach to me.

Since I was I child mI have always thought the best Beach is "Los Vilos", IV Region. I think so beacauso of a lot of reasons. The most important it's My grandparents live there and when I go there I always stay in their house, I have a lot Of fun wheiththeme, even if I go by myself, I love them very much and they are so fun, and also they cook very well. Apart from it, the beach is really beautiful, not only the principal beach but all the littoral, I think that place is very peaceful, especially on winter because it goes few people and the beach is peaceful as I said, that's one of the characteristics that makes me go there every year, to calm me down and be happy with my family. I believe it's a known beach but not so much people knows it as I do, and a few people have lived what I have, sharing with family and at the same time feeling really good with my own. I go there since my grandparents live there (10 years ago). I can't say I have lived only one special experience there beacause every year I go it is special to me, I love that beach and all activities I practice there, like biking or walking.

Also, this year I met another beach in south of Chile that I really liked, but I prefered write about "Los Vilos" because I have lived importants moments with the people I love most.

My familyy

well, today I'll talk about the members of my family. not all of them because they are too much, just some of theme. first my mum..she is 53 years old and she is book-keeper, and she is very good on that, also she is very nice and she likes talking very much, I think she is a very good mum, and she worries about me everytime :$. My dad is a seller, and he likes his work, he likes speak with the people. Also he likes to be home everytime, and read de newspaper, he s nice with me and he cooks good good. and finally, my brother, he is engineer, and now he is working in Antofagasta, sometimes I miss him, but he is ok in that city, he is 26 years old and he doesn't have a girlfriend.
and finally my pet, but I have already talk about her in another post.. anyway I love them all =)

Chile game.

I remember that game it was really early in the morning and I really wanted to watch it and my boyfriend invited me to his home to watch the game and eat "zopaipillas" with his family. so I had to wake up at 6 am! like I had never done before. but I didn't care, it was more important watch the game than keep sleeping. I think the payers had a good game, but they could have done more goals, they lost many opportunities of goal, but all boys played good and with the heart! the important thing is that they won, isn't it?. but now the goals they couldn't do game could be important to clasified, I expect that doesn't happen.

Like I said, I think they all played very good, in my opinion the best player was Valdivia, because he created the opprtunities of goal, he armed the game, and he is a very good soccer player, he lives everything in the field. the worse, no one..but who less played was "Bravo" he touched the ball like 2 times, but that is because "Honduras" played bad.

About if Chile could win the world cup, I have to be realist, it is slightly problaby, because Chile attack very good but I think they couldn't defend from teams like Brasil or Germain..those teams are almost perfect to me, also the have played all the world cup and they can deal with the nervious..I guess that will be difficult to chile because, for the games I have seen the put on anxious and that is trascendental to win a world cup, control the nervious.

Los Vilos!

This is a IV region town. it's ubicated like at 300 kilometers from Santiago, in the beach. I go there since I was a girl, like 5 years old because my grandparents went to live there from "Los Andes". I go there everytime I can, I really like going there because is peacefull and beautifull to me. Also I enjoy to be with my grandparents, they are nice funny and affectionate. I like going with them to walk on the beach and talk.

few years ago I used to go there with a firend almost every summer, It was so much fun we liked swimming and go out in the night to drink but just sometimes, we liked stay at home watching movies and talking but we don't do it anymore.

Anyway I think that is my favourite beach, it has pretty landscapes and many places to go. One of theme is "La gruta". I like to go to the rocks in there. they are big and people can go up on theme, and the see looks fantastic. Another place I like is the wetland, wich is protected for "Los Pelambres" miner those are the better place to go. I expect I could go soon I really want to.

2010 holiday

It doesn’t make me easy talk about just one holiday because what holiday is not fun? And everyone has been so different. I enjoy when I go to my grandparent’s house in “Los Vilos”, when I get out with my friends, and when I’ve traveled with my boyfriend. I think I’ll talk about the last one because it has been the longest vacations in my life, without family and also I have pictures of it. This year, on 2010 7th February I took a bus to “Osorno”, south of Chile I went there with Francisco, my boyfriend and some of his friends. The travel was difficult because the bus it was from 1960 and it ran at 60 km/hrs. Anyway we arrived to “Osorno” and finally to our destiny: “Cascadas” a village near to the city, there we could see the volcano “Osorno”, it was beautiful, we stayed in a camp, in the “Llanquihue” lake. We stayed there one week, then we stayed one week in “Valdivia” in a camp too, and finally we went to “Lican Ray” and we stayed in a friend’s house. This holiday was full of beer, sun, rain, love, green and laugh. It was so much fun. Also it will be remembered because we lived an earthquake! Far away from our houses, but together we both. The most fun and relaxing about this holidays it was when we went to “Las termas del rincón” I will never forget that and I want to do it again..maybe the next year.

Favourites!

It's hard to choice only one.. Is about just this semester? or it's about all these years? I don't know so I'll choice some subjects about all these years. First, I have to say that I like human and physical subjects, in geography are fun the most of subjects, even there are some very bored..like..I can't say =P. Well, the first subject I liked it was climatology, it was fascinating when the teacher talked about clouds, winds, rain, snow, storms, and all that stuff, I enjoyed veery much studying those presentations, in that moment I wanted to specialize me on it. Then I liked the Economy, Economic environmental geography the last year, I went to every class, and that was weird on me =P, I had good marks and I liked read books about that branch of the geography. Finally, I liked, the last year too, "Conservation of the environment". I learnt a lot and it was fun to me the fields trip, I remember the teacher's name, he is Rodrigo Vargas, the anothers names I can't remember right now. I think these subjects are all related, like everything in geography, so when I get out of the career all of them will be usefull. I don't really know what I am going to specialize, but I think it will be about the Conservation. This semester I've learnt about Sociology in a subject in another faculty, that has been the most usefull subject this semester =) and English, obviously.

Why did I study this?..to start, in my school, I was very good to the geography, I think it was easy to me understand it, also my teacher it was like “Bielsa”, serious, intelligent and he knew a lot about History & Geography, but I believe that it really began to like me Geography it was when I traveled to the north of Chile, specifically “San Pedro de Atacama” and around of it. That was like a “travel of studies” but it could go anyone in the school, it made it every year, but I went just that. Anyway, there I learnt a lot about nature, cultures, country sides, etc. It was inspiration to me, and I enjoyed too much learning it, I was like 16 years old, so it was like the moment when the teenager begins to decide what it’s going to be about her life, that travel was mine. Also I like very much taking nature photos, enjoy the noise of the sea, watch it for hours, it has been like that all my life. When I made the P.S.U, I didn’t really know what to study, but a friend’s mum, who is my friend too, told me that I had to study Geography, and without think it I got in this career. =) and here I am.

Good Friend =)

This time I have to talk about a good friend, well I’ve to say that my bests friends are lovely, although sometimes they get angry for nothing, but it doesn’t matter, because I know they will always be there for me, listening my stuff and me listening them, it’s the typical, but it’s true I have probed it through all these years. I met theme when I was five, on 1994, but we became into friends when I was 8 years old, and the others when I was 10 years old, I think..I can’t remember very well. But now I want to talk about another friend of mine, someone I see every day and I have to clean and pick her rubbishes, that is my pet. I think she is my friend too; she is with me every time, making me laugh when she jumps, or howls, or barks, she lies down right by my side all day. Her name is “Anabelle” but she doesn’t listen when I call her for her name, she does it when I tell her, come here!, or eat! or lie down!, etc, it’s a little weird. I know here since the day she was born, literally, in fact I was with her mum when she was getting out. It is one of the most emotional situations in my life. I love her mum, but she died the last year =(. Anyway, they both have been my friends =) and they are so important in my life. Ah..she is 3 years old.
