Aphrodite

Image
An interesting mythological story for me is Aphrodite. this story it is very interesting for me because it deals with issues of love.  Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love, pleasure, and procreation. Her Roman name is Venus. Historically, her cult in Greece was imported from or influenced by, the cult of Astarte in Phoenicia. She is the goddess of desire and her work is her pleasure, her profession her hobby. She thinks of nothing but love, and nobody expects more of her. According to a version Aphrodite is the daughter of Uranus, whom his own son, chronos mutilate him throwing his genitals into the sea, which produced a white foam which float on the water and born When I was a child in school I was very interested in universal history, mythology was a complicated subject for my age, but full of mystery and I liked, I always knew that Aphrodite was the less physically powerful than the rest of the gods, but the only one who can bewitch them all. Her beauty and the d...

MY EXPERIENCE WITH RHCP

Image
 The last year  in september, I went to the recital of the red hot chili peppers , was on Friday at the monumental stadium , I went with my boyfriend and then when we got there  together with many friends who had been camping, the concert began at 6 pm and we arrived at 1 pm , so while we were waiting we went to lunch and then drank   a lot alcohol. When the doors opened almost died crushed , it was horrible , anyway only accept this bad time because I wanted to see one of my favorite bands , two groups opening for this band, one band was "los chancho en piedra and the other  was "the fools" . After a while the red hot came out in the stage, it was amazing, the energy (OH MY GOD), I felt many things, it was an incredible experience.  

The best work

Image
Being honest  I hate work, because I consider myself a free spirit, I hate rules, the routine, well I don't hate everything, I love teaching , I love children, I feel I have the vocation to be a teacher, but if I had the opportunity to choose the job of my dreams it could be a traveler, I would travel around the world, meeting different cultures and learning from them. this work would be ideal for me, as it would be real, authentic ,  I would have contact with people and best of all, it would not be enclosed in just one place. In this job I would like to share with a friend , it's not good to be a long time away from family and friends. Like a traveler I would work all day long, well it's not like work  the objective would be to enjoy and show  of the rest of the people the experience. an example of this work would be " Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations"

One tree hill a guilty pleasure

Image
The best TV show that I ever seen it's one tree hill, One Tree Hill is an American television drama,which premiered on September 23, 2003.  This series follows the eventful lives of some high-school kids in Tree Hill, a small but not too quiet town in North Carolina, where the greatest source of pride is the high school basketball team, the Ravens. I have many reasons to see this TV show, the first one it is because  the characters have become like friends, you feel like you know these people (especially after so long) also many of the situations that happen in this series are like my real life. I'm a huge fan of one tree hill because this series it's different to other series, when you see a chapter of one tree hill always learn something new, as a life lesson. My favourite character of this TV show is Brooke Davis is a great character, and I developed a girl-crush on Sophia Bush.

the best movie

Image
 My favourite movie and the best movie ever made  is "The notebook"   It's the most beautiful movie I've ever seen, it is so romantic. The Notebook is a funny and emotional film which deals with love, relationships, and the risks people take. The notebook's story centers around the lives of a teenage boy and girl who meet at a carnival in the late-1930s. At first, Allie Hamilton and Noah Calhoun, instantly fall in love. This movie is an incredible movie, so  inspiring, and they really make you into it, it's amazing, It is one of those that will always be remembered, i can see it over and over again and still love it. It was also the saddest because Noah   and Allie have a hard time to be together, this movie It shows us that true love really can last.

Clash

Image
The term clash means the diversity between different cultures, means that integrate two different cultures, we can speak of multiculturalism. The gypsies are a clear example of a clash culture, this culture challenged the traditions of a place, combining their own style and idiosyncrasies . I chose the Gypsies because in my country there are hundreds of them, recently on television Gypsies invaded the Chilean TV. in my personal experience can i say that every time when I visit "el parque forestal" I meet with many gypsies, they say they can see the future and then they ask for money in pay, I know many people has been in this situation, for me it's not normal and gives me repulse, also many people do not support them because they invade their space. This culture is very extreme in their traditions and they try to impose on the rest. for many years we repulse this culture, but as mentioned earlier, last year the gypsies became much more known and a little mor...

The music in my life

Image
   A long   time ago the music was essential in  my life, but now is a complement   with my loneliness. every time when I have to   leave  my house or   walk alone on the subway or on the street, my best company is the music ,  my music make me feel invincible , overprotected , invisible to others ,  my music transports me to another place , every song I hear is like soundtranck of my life or what I'm living.   Actually  i have many favourite bands or singers,  it is difficult have to choose and think in an specific singer or group because every group , every singer  marked a stage in my life, but I will make an effort to decide.   i think my favourite band is red hot chili peppers, I identify a lot with his music , and that is because his music is full of energy and lyrics maybe are very complex to understand but I try to read between ...

Bilingualism

Image
The major benefit is that a bilingual person can have an interesting social life by being able to converse with a variety of individuals of two different cultures. They can appreciate two  world views. There are also economic advantages for bilinguals, because there is an increasing demand for them in the new global economy. in these times is too necessary to have another language because we are in a globalized world where knowing another language opens the doors for any project or dream , being bilingual is a plus that makes you able to meet diversity of cultures when we can break the language barriers we can be more aware of our surroundings ,   for me to learn a second language besides my native language is an advantage over the rest because I guarantee that I will have better job prospects There are many people that wish  could speak another language but do not feel able to do, so choose not to take risks and sometimes...

writing

When i was a little girl i loved to  write,   but when I started to grow up I   quitted this   for many reasons,   perhaps because i was tired or  just because i didn't want to do it. Everytime when i decide to  write something  i do because I feel sad. I have to admit that I can hardly write in English because i don't have the vocabulary  that i would like to have , when I write in my native language is very easy , I can express everything   that I want, because I can handle the spanish , sometimes when I get to write many lines in English, I feel happy because I realize that I am able to do it. and that makes me want to keep improving   .. always   i hope to learn more, especially on this subject as it helps me to reinforce my learning and development in this second language that  i love
