The Last Post...(?)

My experience

I need to say the first time I wrote a post in english was a terrible thing. I doubt about every word, I liked the topic, well, I loved the topic in fact, but was really hard writing having the idea of show lots of mistakes. I suffered for that reason. 

The good thing is that's all the bad part jaja. I enjoyed to have the possibility of sharing my ideas about the topics of every week. Topics I waited for and I should say: it really was exciting. 

Actually writing a post take me a lot of time, but the reasons are not the same as before, right now, I take my time thinking in what I want to say and no thinking if every part of the text is correct. Well I can't say if that's a good idea at all (the inner me says maybe that sounds like a bad influence jaja).

Sorry if this is not something to say, but the most I write the less I pay attention to the way I write...Yeah, sounds bad.  I don't mean I throw up words, but I just say that I wrote what flowed from my mind and for sure is an amazing freedom sensation that gives you the will to continue and with time grows bigger. I think we all should feel writing shows you this rewarding feeling.  

And with time naturally or by osmosis, we will improve jajajaja. That's my theory.

Now, it's hard to chose a post because I liked most of them and love talking what I like! Well, yeah, there are some favourite ones (in order of like):

1) The free post (The Night Sky): Everyone talk about the things they love, those were posts full of affection.
2) An ambition: That post touched my philosophical part...(jaja).
3) A concert or exhibition (The planets of Gustav Holst): I just talk about something mainstream(I mean is not Michael Jackson in Chile or something like that)...But, I want people to listen to that amazing piece of art.

And I could stay talking more and more but is enough. I hated the post of the BBC Learning English Website (sooorry). I can see I don't like websites at all, don't like to navigate neither. I'm not a technological person, maybe (?)

The Blogs

At the beginning I choose blogs randomly but with time I got used to read the Wai Yan's blog "Chocolate From a Shop", Andrea's blog "Farmatonterías" and Tomás Porras blog. I think Wai Yan knows a lot of art and is super orderly in her writing. Andrea is super simple and direct saying what she wants. And Tomás jaja he is super funny... Maybe I shouldn't say this but the fact is that I can´t say more than then words to him  when we are chatting, because he is too funny and I laughed a lot (he's a bad influence jajajajajajajaajajja X'D joking). 

I like specially the way Wai Yan's blog looks, it really is pretty. (An she laughs of my commentaries: Thank you, thank you, don't bother jaja).

pd: Thanks to Miguel for his nice recommendations :D 

-.-

I enjoyed chatting with you guys, reading your blogs and see your commentaries. I remember a set of conversations, I do not know why, but most of them (if not all) take a hilarious direction jajajaja. I remember talk about UFOs with Simon, simply marvellous jaja.
Ah, I take the moment to excuse my grammatical, orthographic mistakes, etc, sorry c:





Thanks for reading!!! See you soon.

TV Show

When I was 6 years old, I use to see tv after arrive to my house from school, and I think, that really was one of the best hours in the day. In CHV there was transmitted a tv show called "El Club de los Tigritos", a typical program where were given a lot of animations. The show was led by Carolina Gutiérrez at first then, some years later, by Jessica Abudinen.

With 6 years I didn't know where the program come from, but know I could read that the original program came from Venezuela and was adapted to different countries here in Southamérica. 

If I'm not wrong, the program started at 4  p.m approx. and I know this doesn't sound quite good, but, it lasted until 6 p.m. I saw all the anime they gave. 

Inside the show, in addition to the series, some contest were part of it too. 

Each anime chapter last 25 min. approx. so in the afternoon were transmitted near 5 series every day in the week. Some of them are: Sailor Moon, Caballeros del Zodiaco, Detective Conan, Ranma 1/2, etc. 

I'll tell you something not so related, but for me is important. I really am good to rebember songs I like, so I listened sometimes the background of the program, but, I didn't know the name of the song. About a year ago I found it, Twiggy twiggy jaja. Was a long research.

Here goes

Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?

We all born geniuses. Is that simple.

After see what Ken says, I think I'm not the only one who thought he was right and there is a big problem with public education. I would really enjoy to discuss this topic.

What Ken says?

A fast resume of what he says is that we all born geniuses, but, public education do not let us grow up in creativity, and, because of that, when we are adults, we have not those creative and fantastic minds anymore. 

I really agree with Ken. There's a lot of issues in education from the very bottom of our society thoughts. I would like to mention more of this.

What's going on? What stops our creativity? We all came to this world with an open mind, to receive all kind of information and learning, but, public education in system; is design with a structured idea, not thinking in the variety of children capabilities; instead of base on the educational program in creativity, they used, the common idea  of mathematics and science as a synonym of intelligence and success, and of course, some other subjects, but these I mentioned, principally.

That´s the main problem, some kids grow thinking they are not good, they aren't intelligent, when is not the case. Every person has his own especial ability, but, that doesn' mean, society will give to that the importance it posses in truth. We need to appreciate every kind of intelligence, worship and adoreee (like the song jaja) it. 

-.-

I think we can see these examples in the daily life with every friends we have and maybe, the hobbies, are nearest prove of the talent; the activities people love, non one but ourselves are the responsible to feed that passion. I hope for the moment we could help others, trying to make blooming  like flowers their gifts.



Here I recommend you to see this video, let's think about another issue and its solutions.

A building I like

Right now, I think this building is one of the most showy and marvellous ones in earth. The first time saw it, was a lot of years ago, 

I think about 11 years maybe in something like a documentary. 

I couldn't believe there were a building like that, like a dream, like a tale. 

-.-

The Kremlin of Moscow

Is a building  located in Moscow, Russia. In fact is a set of civil and religious buildings. Actually it's used as the government house, and is like this since the Soviet Union times. Although, the very beginning of the Kremlin as synonymous  of government take place in the XIV century, when the palace became the Prince and the royal family residence.

It's important to mention, there are several Kremlins, placed in different locations of the country. At first, they borned as simples fortified citadels, but, with time they turned into centers of people lives, since  religiousness took place in the set of cathedrals inside Kremlin and for sure, the other important edifications. 

I like

The forms, the colours, the stories behind this super antique building. As I said before, the first time I saw it, I got so impressed because I never could believe a structure like that exists in real life. In a moment, I doubt for a while, thinking of the Taj Mahal...Should I have talk of  the Kremlin or the Taj? I love the Taj, but, the fantasy inside the Kremlin, was stronger. Maybe it's obvious and simple for oriental people, but here where I live, I think no. 
I suspect, the colours are most important pattern (if there's one) which caught my attention. I've been thinking a time of this and I see now, that, when someone says Kremlin, lots of curves and COLOURS take place on my mind. 
I hope to visit such an incredible place. 




See you soon, thanks for reading!

A piece of art - Bosch

 

 

 

 

The Garden of Earthly Delights
1503-1504
Oil on wood
220 x 389cm
Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain.

 

 

The Garden of Earthly Delights

 

 

-How and when I saw it

 

I'm not sure about the first time I saw this painting. But, let's see. The last year I remember have stayed a lot in the faculty working for a classes, and of course, until the next day. The fact is that a friend of mine used to work too, so, some days we passed studying together. In middle of the night, and after a few hours of work, you should know how hard is keeping concentration, so we made stops and just distracted ourselves for a bit. Then, in one of our conversations, he talked me about The Garden of Earthly Delights; we were with our computers so he searched it. When I saw that work I though  I maybe saw it before, but, as I told first, not sure of it.

 

-Why I like it

If you have read some of my old posts, you will see how much I like medieval and sacral topics. Well, this pic is full of them and when you like thinking about things, I'm sure this will make your day. It's just sometimes I can't believe, there's so much information that involves, people mind, religion, moral, etc. reunited in a piece of art.

-About the painting

This friend of mine studied some years of history and literature, so he knew a bit about meanings and symbols in the painting. I was and right now I am still amazed of all the draw content, the painting is just like a big book talking about medieval age thinking and when you take your time to see, it's impressive all the information you would discover.

The work describes in a surrealistic manner three scenes:

1) The Paradise

2) The Purgatory

3) The Inferno

And each scene is a different part of the painting that is in fact a  triptych.

Hieronymos Bosch

(1450-1516) Was an Early Netherlandish painter known for his  especial form of illustrate (right now, we know it as surrealism) about moral and religion.

He used to paint triptych, but,  his most know one, is The Garden of Earthly Delights.

A place to eat

My customs

First, I should mention in my family is not common to eat out. Although I remember that a lot of years ago, we used to go to the shopping mall and eat some ice-cream, but that's all.

Japanese Grill

If there is a place where I like to go and eat, is Japanese Grill. It's located in the station Moneda of the subway. Find the Santa Isabel and walk down upstairs; you'll see some food stores, and for sure, the one I'm talking about.

Some characteristics I like are: is not  a expensive place; it's near my bus stop; each time I eat, I'm satisfied at the of the sushi. By the way, I need say, it's a simple and informal place, and because there are stores together, it's more than a public place, it's a pretty public place. 

Right now, I'm not going anywhere, you know, I have brackets... 1) When the dentist tighten up the brackets, hurts sooo much and 2) Most of the food I eat will stay in the brackets until I wash my teeth, and when you are with someone and this person talks to you jajaja is a terrible thing. Those are the reasons, and sorry for the details. 

A would like to go

To a place called "Salchidog". I can't deny they sell trash food, and at first, I didn't like the idea of eat there, but a friend of mine told me about all the ingredients you can add to your "completo". Now I think is the best word, you will eat something full of things, something "complete".

I'm waiting for it, when my teeth lack of brackets, I'll go.

-.-

Hope you to enjoy a nice place to eat, thanks for reading!

I would like to meet...

Something a bit sad is to know there's some characters 

that maybe we will never meet, 

but in case we could do it, what would you do?

-.-

Karen Carpenter

She's the one I would like to know, and the person whose identity was a mystery for a lot of years. I can see me in past with 5 years old,  listening her music in the car; the deep voice, all the melodies, were just something beautiful. The fact is I didn't know how to obtain her name and music, so I just get used to remember some words I could understand and part of the melody.

Approximately 12 years after that, some day, I found her. Was an amazing moment. Since then I listen to her   songs the way I always dreamed, and of course I try to learn about her life and work.

Her life

As you imaging she was a northamerican singer and drummer (March 2, 1950- February 4, 1983), well known for being part of the duet Carpenters with her brother, and her deep voice. 

Being in high school, she didn't like some classes, and to exempt herself, she got in to the high school band, she fell in love with the drums and her life began to change.

In university, she share a group with Frank Poller and her brother Richard. They played in different clubs on Hollywood, they win in a conquest and finally they sign in with RCA Records for a few months, from then on, success fallow their lives.

If I could talk to her

I would ask her to create a song for two voices, and as you maybe think, one of them should be mine. I think  I could expend all day talking about music and singing with her. 

She died very young, that's something that make me talk of her, because I know, right now, she could stay alive, and would be the older, nice and loved singer of mine.

 

One of the most known songs: "Close to you"

Their cover for: "Ticket to ride"

-.-

I hope you enjoyed!

Thanks for reading, see you!
