Photo!!

Hello you!

My post for today it’s about a photograph that I like very much!

Here is the photo: 

This is a photograph taken by my uncle Marco, who works as a ski instructor in the winter. It was taken in the winter of 2009, at the Center of Ski Lagunillas. I like this photo very much, because it shows a very beautiful landscape of a sunset. The color of the sky at that time of the day it’s amazing and the contrast with the white of the snow makes this photo magical. Since I was 7 years old, every winter, I like to go to ski in Lagunillas. As you must be imagine, my favourite season of the year is the winter, jajajaja. I don’t know, but every time I look this photo, it makes me feel happy or quite.

Environmental Issues

Hello again guys!

Today, I will write about a very interesting topic nowadays. The Alto Maipo project, by the AES Gener enterprise.

This project is carry out in Cajon del Maipo, near to Santiago. It consists in the build of two hidroelectrics, Alfalfal II and Las Lajas, at the riverside of the river Maipo. These two hidroelectrics will contribute to the Central Interconnected System a maximum power of 531 MW.

In my opinion, all the benefits of this project are only for Santiago, there is no contributions for the people who live in Cajon del Maipo, like reduce taxes of light and water. There is only one thing, they do to say they help, they give a scholarship to the students that enter to College. Another factor of concern about this project, is the watercourse decrease of the estuaries El Volcán, Yeso and Colorado, causing the watercourse decrease of the river Maipo. Therefore, this will cause the desertification of more than a hundred thousand hectares of vegetation. The tourism will be affected too, because many sports are carry out in the river Maipo, like rafting or kayak, will disappear, because the watercurse will not be enough to perform these activities.

Well this is one side of the project, but it also has advantages. It will give to the community many jobs.

I think this project could be executing respecting the environment, getting benefits of nature too and helping to the comunity, but without cause any damage to the only thing that keep us alive.

Correction

I´ll talk about  the best concert of my life.

Two years ago, I went  to the festival called “The battle for Santiago” at the Bicentennial Stadium of La Florida,There was three bands in this festival , the mars volta, suicidal tendencies, and rage against the machine. And I like it  because of the lyrics and you  felt really good. I  listened to Mars Volta for thirty minutes  and my brother refused to continue because we were  so far away of the scenery. At  that moment,  I looked for a way to go to the VIP area  and we jumped a  gate and saw RATM so close, in  that moment I was very drunk and I   enjoyed very much that time, the show was incredible and it was dedicated to Victor Jara and Roberto Bolaño.

One of my favorites film! :D

Hello Again Guys!

Today I´ll write about one of my favorites film. Actually is a trilogy, its name is Back to the Future, developed between 1985 and 1990.

This film was directed by Robert Zemeckis, written by Zemeckis and Bob Gale and produced by Steven Spielberg.  This production tells the story of a young named Marty McFly, interpreted by Michael J. Fox, who has a very special friend, a Doctor named Emmet Brown, interpreted by Christopher Lloyd. This Doctor created a Time Machine to explore all the ages of the humanity. For many reasons, when they travel in time, they have a lot of troubles, because of the changes that cause them, like create a parallel reality or endanger their own existence. Other problem they have, it’s when Marty’s mother “fall in love” with her own son.

I like very much this film, because all the troubles they have in the development of the story and the way they face them. All the situations that can happen if sometime, the travel in time it’s possible are awesome and dangerous. Other reason is the reference to famous people of the time, like Chuck Berry, Michael Jackson, Ronald Reagan; and the way the director used famous trademarks as Pepsi and Nike. Another fact very interesting of this film is the clothing, Marty used the typical Converse sneakers and the red jacket of the 80’s; after, in the 50’s he used black shoes, a shirt and a jacket.

Well, I hope you share my opinion about this film! See you! (:

An interesting website

Hello once more

Today I’m gonna write about a very useful website, www.forestall.uchile.cl

Since I began to study Forestry, each day of my life I like to enter to this website and discovery what’s new in my field. This page is very interactive, because use the green color and captures your attention with images , and it has videos and photos related to Forestry that you can watch. At the top of the page, there is the name and the logo of Universidad de Chile, and the different menus that you can access, like academics or students.

This page also has a lot of publications of experts about environment problems or the use of wood; this articles, keep me informed about the national and international reality.

I really recommend occasionally to take a look of this, so if you have the time, you should do it!

Bye!

The Rock rules!!!! lml

Well, I don’t really have a favorite band or singer, but the type of music I like most is Rock. My favourite bands are, for example: Queen, U2, The Beatles, Linkin Park, Soda Stereo, Los Prisioneros, Led Zeppelin, etc.

For today’s post, I will use Queen, as my favourite band. They play rock music, but they use a lot of combinations, I like this band, at first, because my uncle used to listen to them, but then on my own, I began to discover Queen’s songs and today I listen more of Queen than my uncle. My favourite song of this group is “We will Rock you”, because I enjoy the power that this song has very much, with its rhythm and the guitar solo, played by Brian May.

By the way, I went to a Queen’s concert in 2008, and it was an unforgettable experience to me

Hello, this is a little bit of my life

Hello people!!

My name is Felipe Orellana Roa and this is my short autobiography.
I was born on February 4th, 1995 in Providencia. I am studying Forestry at Universidad de Chile. I live in a beautiful town named San José de Maipo, near Puente Alto, where I lived before, with my grandmother and two uncles, because my mother died when I was 7 years old. As San José is a very large place, with a lot of mountains and vegetation, you can connect with nature. I like cycling and trekking .In the winter, when it's very cold and full of snow, I like skiing in Lagunillas. On vacation, I like to go to Laguna Verde, a little town near Valparaíso, but more beautiful and peaceful.

Well, there’s nothing else to write, so GoodBye!!
