Post 10: Blog Experience

Oh bloggers, I have bad news... this is the last post that I will be writing. Yes, this is the end of my blog, it's time to say goodbye, but don't cry for me, I'm already dead... hehe it's a joke.

Ok, my english teacher said to me that I should make an evaluation about blog experience and of course, I have some many comments to do. Firstly, I think that this was a good learning strategy because to create and write a blog is very fun and the process to design your blog can be very stimulating. Blog can be a helpful tool to make different things. I like blog's interface :b.

Secondly, I feel that I learned some english vocabulary and I can do sentences more fluent. Writting about daily and personal topics is a good idea to motivate people. Making comments in others blogs is also a good idea, because sometimes someone can answer your comment and you can have a little conversation with this person, a little interaction or chat.

But!!! I have one constructive comment: All the posts should be written in house, as homework, because in classes there are not time to do it. Teacher could use this time to explain other things and students could write their posts with more calm.

Finally, from my point of view, blog should continue to be used as a tool to learn english in this course.

Well bloggers, never say goodbye ;)  

Post 9: Vacations

I love vacations, I need it because I study a lot during the year and when comes the end of semester I'm so tired, distracted and a little stressed. Vacations gives me power for the rest of the year, It's so great.

Well, when I finish the semester, generally I travel to my grandmother's house in the south of Chile, and I stay there one month or more if I can. It's a very beutiful country near to Carahue, a small town in La Araucanía region. Imperial river flows by one side and by the other side you can see the Coastal Mountain. All the area has plants and trees, landscape has a green powerful color and you can see farmers working on the hillside. It's so quiet and peaceful. If you can going there in sometime of your life, you will understand what I say. I really like this place, it's so nice! 

By other hand, in the last four years, I've experienced an anormal willingly to discover and explore others places that I don't know. I've traveled with my backpack, and very few things,  for some interesting landscapes. I enjoy to do it and I know that I will continue to doing.

And what about you? 

Post 8: A subject

Hi guys! I'm so tired, and you? This semester was very demanding for me because I had seven subjects (it was a voluntary decision) and only three of this subjects were interesting. The other four were so bored and I didn't pay much attention and effort to them. Sometimes, I was very tired and all subjects seemed to me a little annoying. I'm not a lazy man, I like to study different matters and learn about interesting things... at least I try to think it about myself, but I know that the decision to do many subjects was not the best :|

Well, it was not all bad during this semester. I had a really good subject, called "Principles of Social Ecology". It was an elective course and I didn't have so many classes but I really enjoyed it, because the main idea of this subject was the human-environment relationship with an anarchist (or at least an anti-establishment) approach. In classes, people spoke about domination between humans and also between human and nature, you know, humanity has not been the most condescending with environment. The principal thesis was that "in capitalism, man dominates nature and in the same way (under the same logic) dominate other humans", it produces abnormal relationships and over-exploitation of natural resources. I'm not anarchist, but I think that it's very interesting, I agree with this... I believe it . See you! :)

Post 7: VeoVerde Website

Hi guys! Today I want to share you a good website related to my career. It is "VeoVerde", an environmental online newspaper. This includes more than forestry issues, frequently it have other news from other websites, probably runned by friends of “VeoVerde” creators. I like this website because news are related to environmental problems in all the world, also Chile, and usually the journalists write with official information, so I can look it and check the source.

I think that this website was developed for chilean people but I'm not sure. “Veoverde” is a spanish website, but "Betazeta Networks S.A." (yes, same company of CHW, FayerWayer, Niube, Belelú and Wayerless) has the main domain.

I don't use it to develop my university's works but it is a good starting point when I'm browsing on Internet. I use it to know original or news ideas about recycling, environmental tools, sustainability, green public policies, scientific investigations, the status of threatened species of flora/fauna, etc.

If you have free time, I recommend you this website. Its interface is so friendly and the webpage style is very nice!

Post 6: Music!!!

Hi bloggers! I haven't written a long time ago, I'm back! How are you? What do you do? Today I will speak about music ;)

I will say one thing: music is more than "listen to music" for me, it is an activity, I dedicate so much time to listening to music, watching videos, searching on the Internet about bands, music styles, OSTs, concerts and news about artists, etc. When I was in secondary school I played piano, but currently I don´t have time to play any instruments ;/ I will do it in a near future, though.

I listen different kinds of music, but all of them have one characteristic in common (or at least I believe that). The musicians that I listen use music as a tool of resistance, they have a noncommercial style to express their ideas, feelings, sensations or anything else, and that help me survive in modern life. I reject music styles like pop, romantic music, reggaeton music, MTV-music and a lots of American music in general... because you know, they are the empire and strongly dominant ideas are transmitted by that culture. I think about music as an expression of art, not as "bread and circus"... yes, music is a delicate topic for me... and probably you are thinking that I'm a crazy old man.

Well, you know, I don't have a "faaaaaavorite" band or artist, but I want to give you a piece of art obtained from another piece of art:

Post 5: A photograph I like

Hello Blogers. I like photos, but I don´t like to people take me photos. When I was a child, my mom always always was taking pictures in different moments, when I was in bathroom, when we went to the beach in family, in vacations, in schooldays, all the time my mom was taking photographs. My father liked it, but I and my brother and my sister didn´t liked it. So, all photographs in which I appear are bored. I prefer take a picture that appear in this.

I show you a photograph that I took. I took it in my past summer vacations in Puerto Misahuallí, Ecuador. Place is beautiful. It is a small town (less than a hundred people live there) near to Misahualli River and Napo River, very quiet and cozy. People are very friendly with tourist and hostals are cheap. I like this place and I want to return there some day...

In the photograph you can see a capuchin monkey. Central park of Puerto Misahuallí has many capuchin monkeys. They live there in freedom and tourist can interact with them. Monkeys are so sweet and funny but you always should stay alert because they are very agile and if they can, they will steal your food or your phone or you camera. However, a monkey bit me because I didn´t want to give him a butter bowl. His name was Peco. I don´t hate him even though he scared me.

Post 4: My pets

Hello bloggerssss. I like this topic, I like pets but I don´t like domination between humans and pets :/

I have had pets all of my life, but only cats and dogs. The first pet that I remember was a cat, Its name was "Ocarina". It was pet of my dad, he always have liked the cats. It died due to a neighbor poisoned it. In that moment I experimented the death ;(. When I was seven years old, I often adopted stray cats with my sister. My parents didn´t like it because isn´t easy support many pets, they shooed away it although it be difficult for them. Finally we (I and my sister) win!, we adopted a pregnant stray cat, its name was "Misisufina". 

In 2002, we moved away to another house and the cats (Misisufina and one of its daughter, Valentina) could not bear, Misisufina was ran over and Valentina gets sick and died. The era of cats ended. 

Now I have three dogs, "Mawa" (cocker spanish), "Toffy" (cocker) and recently "Danesa" (semi-chau chau). They are very important on my life and I have them much appreciation. Mawa and Toffy are my responsability and my sister. They are very happy (I think) and  active. They can walk without chain and I like it because I think that it give them freedom. 

I have a secret, when I don´t have someone to talk, I speak with them.
