Post 8: Let's talk about money

Hello Guys

Today I’m gonna write about a important thing in my life, sadly, the Money.

I’m not happy to admit it, but I consider that money has a big influence in my routine. Sadly, in our society, you can’t do anything without the money; I’m not saying that I wouldn’t be happy without money, but we live in a material world, to survive in this world you must have some money. So, money It’s very important to assure the well-being of my family, we need money to go to the doctor, or to buy food, to go to our jobs or the school, and many other things.

Well, in financial terms, I´m a very independent person, to do all the things I do, I use my own money. For example, go to the cinema with my friends, or buy books, or buy clothes, go to concerts, etc. I tried not to ask too much money to my family, because they have a lot of things to pay, like the electricity or the water, and I feel bad asking them for money.

I think I manage my budget very well, because I don’t waste the money and I use it for good things. And, when I get to the end of the month I have money to save to the future, in case my family or me need it, or to buy something more expensive.

If I were a millionaire, I would invest some money in my house, because in some aspects, It’s not finished yet, I we would need a lot of money to improve it. Also, I would like to travel around the world, but first I would like to across all the territory of Chile, because I think It’s a beautiful country. Besides, I would like to invest a lot of money in our family enterprise.

If I had to pawn any of my belongings, I don’t know which one It would be, because I don’t think my belongings have a great value to other people.

Bye bye.

How Green Are You?

Hi Everybody!

Today I will write a very important topic nowadays, but unfortunately many people like me still can’t incorporated into their lives: Environmentally friendly practices.

Well, I must confess that I haven’t acquire these practices to my daily activities, and neither do my family, because It’s something difficult to do, you always find an excuse for not do that kind of practices. For example, in some places, there are special trashcans for each material: plastic, glass or paper, etc. But, sometimes they are too far away, and we are too lazy to go and throw the trash there. Or another example, when you have to go to a near place, you can get there cycling, but there is always an excuse like It’s a hot or cool day, I’m too tired, etc. So, you go driving a car or in public transport. 

Well, at least I can say that I use my bike as a transport, mostly to get to near places, or walking, because I always enjoy a good walk. 

I’m not a member of any organization now, maybe because I’m not enough motivated and I don’t have much time.

 I would like to start recycling things. 

In relation to the carbon footprint, I try to turn off the lights I’m not using, disconnect all the electronic devises no one is using, take quick showers, etc. 

I think that, as a society, we could create more green areas, create more deposits of recycled trash, reduce the number of vehicles, and also we should reduce the number of industries in our city.

I hope you start to worry about our planet like me, Goodbye!

Breaking News! :O

Hello Everybody

Today I'm going to write about a new I watched on the T.V. yesterday, I think, well, I’m not even pretty sure if I watched the new in the T.V. or I saw it online, but I´m sure I saw it somewhere, someday. An american man named Reza Baluchi was rescated floating in a big bubble, in front of the coasts of Florida in the Unated States. This man is a marathon runner who planned to crosss the ocean from Florida to the Bermudas islands, running inside a huge floatable buble. He was about seventy nautical miles to the east of St. Augustine when he activated his personal locating bacon, because he was exhausted. A Coast Guard HC-130 airplane and MH-60 helicopter, along with the vessel Maersk Montana, were sent to rescue this marathon man. After that they took him to the Coast Guard Air Station, where his medical condition was evaluated. He didn’t have any injuries.

Well, obviously this breaking new does not affect me, or my community. But, I thought it was an interest new, because although he didn’t make it, this man’s attitude it’s very special and I wish I was that brave to do whatever I dream.

Normally, I try to avoid watching T.V.’s news, because there are always just bad ones and some of the news make me sad. I would like to watch/hear/read about more good news, news about animals, people improving their lifes conditions, I don’t now, that kind of news.

See you !

My future Job

Hello everyone!

Today I’m going to write about what I think It could be my future job. As you must know, I`m studying Forestry nowadays, but since I started to study this, I haven’t had a clear view of what I will do in the future as a forester. In this short time, I have felt interested mainly in the conservation part of forestry, especially when we have dedicated time to make studies in a forest, like counting how many trees are, calculating the density measure the quality of the soil and many others. So, I would like to take a job where I would have to travel around this beautiful country and make studies in the different forests that Chile has.  If I had to choose, there are a lot of aspects I would consider, like: how many hours I would work by day, because I want to have time for me and I would hate to be working all day; the conditions of the job and the money I would earn, I hate to be worried for the money, but sadly, without money you can´t survive in this world. I mean, I don´t want to be rich, and I know that money doesn’t buy happiness; I just want to earn enough money to live without serious problems. Right now, my weakness is that I’m a little bit lazy and distracted, but if I really enjoy my future job, I will be the best doing it.

That’s all for today. See you!

My best friend! :)

Hello guys!

My today’s post It’s very special and difficult to do it, because I’m gonna write about my best friend. I think I don’t have many friends as other people do, maybe I have six or seven friends, no more than that, and just three of them are my “best friends”, because “friend” It’s a very strong word that for me, has a lot of meanings and the person that I consider my friend has to be loyal, funny, has to be there for me at good or specially bad times and, I don’t know, just be there for me.

In my small group of friends, there is one that stands out the rest, her name It’s Valeria Cañas, she’s about my age and I met her during my school time, when I joined to Colegio Rafael Eyzaguirre in 3^rd grade of Primary School. That was in 2003, so we have been friends for eleven years. Although, school time It’s now over, our relationship continues exactly as always. I consider her the sister I never had and every time I hang out with her, there is a lot of fun and laughs, we don’t even have to speak; so, there is a lot of great memories to tell. For some reason, I can’t clearly remember one now to write it here, it must be because mainly of them were very funny. One time, we were in math class and the teacher was a very big and tall woman, and by accident she crushed Valeria’s feet, and she is a very small girl. I worried first but after that, It was hilarious.

My first concert! lml

Hello guys! J

In this post, I`m gonna write about my first concert ever, the Queen’s concert in November, 2008. It was held at Estadio San Carlos de Apoquindo. One of the things I enjoy the most, It’s listening to music. However, I haven’t gone to many concerts in my life. But nowadays, going to concerts is one of my favorite things to do. That one, was a very special concert, because I went with my uncle Marco, who was the one that introduced me into this kind of music. Since I have memory, I have listen to Queen’s songs, so I was very excited with the idea of watching them live. I remember that, the first 30 minutes of the concert, I didn’t have a great time, due to I was a little bit tired; I was being smashed against a metal bars because It was full of people and they were playing songs that I didn’t know. But later, I started to sing all the song, I began to jump and I felt very enthusiastic. It was a great feeling. One of the best moments of the concert was when they remembered the deceased vocalist Freddie Mercury, singing the song “Love of my Life”. It was a very emotional moment.

I’ll let you a video of Queen performing "We Will Rock You", enjoy it!, Bye.

My favorite movie! :D

Hello guys, today I’m gonna write about my favorite movie.

I don’t actually have a favorite movie, but one of the movies I like the most It’s the Back to the Future saga, but for this post I will write just about the first one . The movies were directed by Robert Zemeckis and the principal actors were Michael  J. Fox, as Marty McFly; and Christopher Lloyd, as Emmet “Doc” Brown. Marty was the typical teenager of the 80’s that likes the Rock music, skateboarding and that is very lazy. He used to wear Converse sneackers and a red jacket. And Doc Brown was a scientist who invented the time machine with a DeLorean. He had a dog named “Einstein” in 1985, and other named “Copernico” in 1955 (in the movie, 1985 is the present). He used to wear a lab coat and he was a little bit crazy, but he was brilliant.

The plot of the movie is that Doc invented this time machine and he wanted to go 30 years to the future, but he was murdered. So, by accident, Marty went 30 years to the past and to go back to the future, he needed the help of the Doc of 1955. At the same time, Marty’s mother fell in love with him and endangered his life. The story took place in a invented town named Hill Valley.

The part I like the most is when Marty played the song “Johnny B. Goode”, by Chuck Berry and he got crazy doing a guitar solo.

I like this movie because It is relationed with a lot of things that I like, for example the music, the clothes or the parodies. Besides, I feel identify with Fox’s character and I really would like to travel in time, if someday It is possible. I wouldn't change anything of this movie, because I like it in that way.

Well, I hope if you hadn’t watch this movie, you do it soon, because It’s awesome.

See you! J
