9th Post

In my career of cinema and television I don't have any courses of speciality. I think it's very bad because the university doesn't prepare us with a kind of advantage in some areas. I think it is in this way because the career is very young in the university, so the annual program of study is a little untidy and inexperienced.

On this four years I had a lot of little courses about something seems like speciality, but the problems are many. We don't have the option to choose one or another course, because all of those are obligatory. Also we don't choose a specifical area because it doesn't exist a speciality that continued for all the career. So we learned a lot of many fields but on very superficial way. And finally, many  subjects of this modules (of the central cinema course) were repeated. 

But apart from all of those problems, I'll have in mind take any courses in the future. In the different areas of cinema brings to me I like film edition and assistant director. Also I would take something more theoretical subjects like 

I don't have any idea about big parties in Chile or top ten discotheques too. I think it is because I don't like dance a lot, because I really uncoordinated and a little bashful. So, I prefer go to any house with my friends and spend the time with their eating or drinking. 

In old new years I went to one or two new year’s parties when you must brought tickets to got in and I don’t enjoyed their a lot. Another years, I stayed at home whit my family but I suppose I will talk about now of the party on 2008. 

Well, I remember this party because these year was the last one on high school. So, with my closer friends and another classmates we met in the house of one of them after the midnight. 

But the story started before. In my house, my mom prepared a fantastic dinner with my aunt and my grandmother. I remember it was a salmon with margarita sauce and duchess potatoes. 

Then, my friend Julio (who played drums in my school musical band), 

why so good

who were you with

Green planet

I feel very bad because I started to think about environmentally friendly practices and I don't find many habits in my daily life.

I think it's a big problem because I don't help the place where I live, but after a few minutes I found little things that I can help me in this embarrassing position.

In my house all of my family separate tins of beers or some foods like fish or tinned fruits and glass and plastic bottles of the rest of the garbage, because we know people who take it for recycling and win some money.

Also we have in the bathroom a toilet that have two options when we pulled the chain, so we can save the half of the hold back with water and spend less that the common toilet that throw all water.

And in the garden my family have a lemon tree, orange tree, apricot tree and persimmon tree  about long time ago. We used to have tomatoes, chili and onion but this vegetables are more difficult to keep. All of this help to eat fruit of the season and don't frozen fruit or transgenic.

Maybe the people haven't ecologic habits (even me) because we are accustomed to buy all  and then trowed away very quicky. So we don't take the time to find another options like keep the car in our houses and use a bike or start to walk more. For me that will be a good option, because I used a lot the transport system with the excuse that I live so far away of the downtown.

It's not necessary join to any eco-organisations to reduce our carbon foootprint. We can do a little effort every day to clean our world. So I begin to save money to buy a bike... good for my body and my pocket. Only missing more bike routes in Santiago.

Fatality

One of my favourite video game is Mortal Kombat, specifically Mortal Kombat II for Super Nintendo. 

I started to play Mortal Kombat when my older cousin lent to me and my sisters his console for the winter holidays. In this ocassion he gave us two video games: "Donkey Kong" and "Mortal Kombart II". I was very young, about 5 years old, so I didn't understand very good this games... but I remember that I spent a lot of time killing the characters of this video game in front of the television.

I suppose I liked MK more than DK because it was more easy for me because I just pressed a lot of buttons and I could make some tricks with the fighters. I used to played with my sisters so I didn`t need many training for confronted their.

I always chose two fighters: Kitana or Mileena because they  were the only women in the game. This is very common when we are little.

But this video game was mine only for a few months so I never could complete it :(

Finally, after many years I started to play this video game again because I gave to my boyfriend a new version of Mortal Kombat, now for Play Station 3 and we can fight together.

Second Season of Homeland

The Guardian wrote an article about the new season of Homeland, a TV serie that won four prizes on Emmy Awards the last week. The expectations of the audience are very high for the premiere on October 7th (UK).

The article explains the conflict between Nicholas Brody and Carrie Mathison . Brody is a marine of USA who was eight years captived by Al-Qaida and then he returns to his home with his family. Mathison used to work for CIA but she was fired because she suspects Brody convert to a terrorist under Abu Nazir.

Today I don't feel very good because the spring brings to me a big allergy so....... I choose very quickly a painter to write about: Salvador Dalí.

I remember a book of this painter that my father bought to my sister on her birthday long time ago. This painter makes me a strange sensation because I was very little and I used to see realism pictures with fruits or beautiful scenery. 

Dalí was a spanish painter, sculptor and writer who is famous for his surrealism style even  screenplay of movies like "Un perro andaluz" directed by Luis Buñuel.
He is very recognized for his special mustache and for his important career with about 1.500 pictures.

His pictures give many possibilities of fantanstic worlds with strange figures taken of crazy dreams, but all of these are combined in one big piece.

Here we are again

This year I learned a lot of things about how television works. To be honest, in the beginning I didn't like TV because the chilean programs are really bad and the channel environment is very hard and unfriendly.

But in the first term, my television class gives to me another experiences (even though I didn't like my teacher). We learned new ways to work in group, many times under pressure for the time. Also to respect different jobs inside the tv studio, and how we can make interesting tv programs with little economic resources.

But the most important thing I learned in my class was the "switch". I really love it, is so easy and enjoyable. I can take the control of three or four cameras and choose what of these are into the air.

About sports I dind't practice swimming, my favourite sport, because I was a little lazy, but now I retake it and I very tired but happy.

I hope this term will be like the past, because I didn't have a serious problems in my life. I learned a lot about something I thought boring.
