My last holiday

Hi! Today I have to write one of my holidays. So I'll talk about my last one. In February of this year I went to the south of Chile for a month. I visited Temuco, Toltén, Pucón, Villarica, Pto Montt and Chiloé with my cousins. I think this holiday was one of my best holidays ever, not just for visiting many places, I had much time on my own. Many of these places I  visited for the first time, so I could look at many landscapes carefully. In Febrary I was able to swim in the sea for the first time (I wrote about it in other posts) and I went to lots of  national parks like Villarrica, Huerquehue and El Cañi. I rented a bicycle in Pucón and I tried to ride at Villarica volcano's base, but i couldn't :c I rode just 4 kilometers, it was too hard! But the week before I had ridden 75 kilometers between two towns, I made it in just 7 hours, because it was on a rubble way. My bicycle broke but it was so funny and a great adventure! and I found four leaves clover (I brought it back and I gave it to many friends in St. Patrick's day!
Here I leave a photo of when I was riding bicycle and my hat has flew by the wind (It happens to me so many times!)

My Favourite Song

Hi bloggers! I'm going to talk about one of my favourite songs. I think all of my favourite songs are written and performed by British artists. One of these songs is entitled "Switzerland", and it's a song performed by a British band called "Daughter". They are relatively new. This band has one album and four extended plays. The first time I heard this song was this past year. I was looking for a new band that could mix rock, indie and post-rock. Indeed I like many songs from them, such as "Winter", "Youth", "Human", and "Ámsterdam". They also have a cover of Daft Punk's song "Get lucky" but this version is so different and so deep. I like "Switzerland" because an accordion is present throughout the song (and its one of my favorite instruments) and it makes me imagine walking or running around the "Alpes", Yeah! I'm a very imaginative person. I'd like to go to the U.K and go to a Daughter's concert because I'd like hear this song performed live. When I discovered this song, I posted it on many social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and my personal blog. I shared this song with many friends, and they liked this band too. I think this band should be more famous and come to Chile one day. I'd be the first buying a ticket c:
Here I leave "Switerland" I wish you enjoy this magnificent song!

Queule

Hi bloggers! Today I'm want to write about a beach located in the south of Chile, the Araucanía's region. It's near Queule, a little village on Araucanía's coast. I have only been there once, just in febrary of this year, I like it beacause it's an estuary and the waves are so calm! It's an important place to me, because I was able to swim in the sea for the first time here (all my life i had the fear of swimming in the sea, I had only swam in swimming pools and lakes), it was so funny because when i tried to swim at a far point, the current swept me along at the river's estuary. I couldn't swim so far because of the current. I think it's a nice place, a calm beach and the village was so great! I went with my family for three days. I'd like go there again with my friends next year, because it's a beautiful place! . Here I'm leaving a picture of when i was swiming in Queule.

My first and favourite TV show.

Hi Bloggers, I'm going to talk about a TV show I watched when I was younger. I was in the 2th grade when I watched the first chapter of a Colombian TV show called "Betty la fea". It was so famous. I remember that I watched it with my family and I liked it so much. It was about a girl who graduated in economics, and had the highest academic achievement in the best Colombian university. But when she started looking for a job, nobody employed her because she was so ugly, and nobody thought she could be intelligent either. Finally , she was employed by a fashion business called "Ecomoda", not for her curriculum vitae, but the real reason was because her boss was such a womanizer and his fiancée needed to take her for to be sure that her boyfriend wouldn't have an affair with his secretary.
I liked this show for many reasons: It was so wholesome, it adresses a contemporany theme, that of "the prejudice and discrimination", it has many lessons for us (as society) and  it was also so funny! I enjoyed it!
It was originally televised between 1999-2001, but on public television it was trasmitted on many other occasions. I think that I watched it three or four times on the internet, I never got bored with it.

And here's a protagonist picture (I don't think she was so ugly, but meh!) and my favourite scene from the show. It's so funny! I hope you enjoy! :)

A picture of my own!


I'm going to write about my favourite picture. It was taken in 2013 by me, in january when I was in Universidad de Chile's summer school. The course's name was "Hábitat" and it was done in Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo. Well, this picture shows a circus tent. Since I was a child, I disliked circuses because they scared me, I don't know why, but I had only been there once. When I grew up, I got the habit of take the circus world like a magical story ¿What does it mean? for example, I like writting too much and sometimes Whe I write about a circus, my tales talk about a strange and magical world. Another anecdote with circus was that I watched a movie called "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" and I liked too much. So I liked this photo, because "circus"symbolizes my fears, my creativity and a strange world.
This picture was taken on Centro Cultural Gabriel Mistral (GAM), near my faculty. So I hope you enjoy this picture!
