Goodbye my friend

I had never had a blog before. When I was in high school I used to wrote in a notebook cover with newspaper or on pages like Fotolog (a horrible past we all had jajaja) and in MySpace where I could upload a song or any video with my personal words about the day. Well, the true is I'm really suspicious with my thoughts. 
I like writting but I don't like publishing in websites where strange people can read it, so if I decide to do, I keep the link of my sites in very closed secret.
But all of this change when I began my career. I had a lot of work so I left writting and I never use again all of this secret pages. Now all of these are closed, until this spring term.
In my English class I must retake my old habit but the difference is now I should do in English.
It has been very intersting and entertaining because I have a new blog where I left my comments and I can write about things I like as movies, photographs, books and music. So I can learn and practice another language and have a good time.

This work is only one time in the week. So is not very hard for me I guess. Is a different way to become accustomed to think, write, read and talk in English about personal things that my classmates will read after.

But I found a little problem in this blog: some days I'm really tired after a long day of class and I must sit in front of computer... this is terrible. In moments like those I think I could be in my bed rest and writing on my blog at the same time, but I can't because I need a good attendance in my English class. 
This is all I think. Goodbye classmates!

Movie guide




Bazuca is a company that sells dvd, blu-ray and online movies, books and video games in  our country on internet. Also, offers monthly subscription plans for movies that Bazuca staff carry to your home without extra charges.
I hired a plan so I must check the website to know movie releases and choose it for my list of the month. 

But the true is I visited bazuca.com before y get my plan. In this web page I can found a lot of movies, directors, actors and comentaries about movies and tv series. I can search some movie and the web recommends to me another similar to the first. I visit it every day so I'm keep abreast with foreign and national releases. And sometimes, if I can't free time to go to cinema I see on demand movies on high definition that aren't on dvd yet. 
Another sections are similiar. Books and games of Play Station 3, Xbox 360 and Wii are online so anyone can know and decide to buy or rent it.
The good of this web page is you don't need to be registered to see anything, unless you want to buy something.

A moment suspended

Today, I choose "The Truce" or it original title "La Tregua". This is a book I read in high school about five years ago. I remember it because I usually hated another books that I must read for my spanish class, so this and "100 años de soledad" are those I liked and read with time before my exam of literature.

Mario Benedetti wrote this work in 1959 about a men called Martín Santomé. He works a lot, is widower and he has 3 children but they don't have a good relation and comunication with their. He is very lonely and his life is the same every day until he meet Laura, a young women who start working in the company of Martín. 
They fall in love and Martin´s life change in 360°. But this happiness is short because Laura dies suddenly, so Martin comes back to live his old life.  
I really like this story because Benedetti wrote it like a diary, where Martin left his feelings and adventures of his days. "The Truce" talks about routine and how we should enjoy every moment of our lifes because good and bad things come and go. 


 A review of the book on Amazon:

 Love, Life and Solitude 30 May 2001

By René Orellano - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
this is one of the greatest works by Mario Benedetti, a story of sadness, solitude and routine. One great virtue of this book is the way it transmits all the moods that the author is presenting through it's descriptions and the way of living of the characters. La Tregua is about love, life, and the reality of a world who doesn't allows us to live as we may want to. There is people who work for a living and there are many who live to work. Share with Martin Santomé and Laura Avellaneda the social dilema that Benedetti is Presenting us.
I'm completely agree with René, because Benedetti relates daily lifes (that are very difficult to described) in an interesting and delicate way.
