Hi fellows!

Today I’m going to talk about something I would like to learn. Back in time, when I was a little child in a lost town at south, my dream was to learn the ancient blacksmith´s trade. This can be very curious but it have a reason, so I’ll explain it: my favourite video game at those times was a game called “Diablo II” (it wasn´t a satanic game just in case) and in that game you can control a hero that wields a big variety of weapons and armours. The best thing I remember of that game was the ability to create your own stuff at town´s blacksmith using different combinations of metal, magic and other things (like Minotaur leather, dragon scales, etc.). Depend of the combination and your dexterity level, the objects that you create was bad or good. When I play that game, immediately I wanted to learn how to do swords, chest plates, chain mails, axes, etc. Actually, this dreams is incomplete and someday I would like to make it real, because I think that is a good way to earn money, do exercise and be part of a millennial work, that found the pilots of our civilization.

Hi folks!

This was the first semester that I take this class. I had not had English subject since I was at high school. This was my reencounter with the English language and it was a very grateful experience. I enjoy this subject because is a theoretical and practical way to learn English and the class is not boring like Hydrology or SIG. My favorite post was the post about your favored TV show at childhood, because it brought to me many memories and some nostalgic thoughts.

I have not a least favorite post. I think that all the post and all the activities in this semester were funny and enjoyable experiences. I enjoy very much to read the blog of Anita, because the blog show a part of her life and she is my friend. Also, Sofia gave me cookies every class. The most attractive blog is Charlotte´s. The Charlotte´s blog is awesome!!!

The conclusion of this semester is that the blog way to learn English is a very good tool to make the subject, because it is a mixture between fun, language and work. I hope that all my classmates thinks in that way, it’s a very good group and I ill waiting the next semester!

Hi dudes!

This week I’m going to talk about my favorite TV show of all times: Rurouni Kenshin, also called Samurai X. This TV show is an anime (an animation based on a comic, called “manga”) broadcasted at the 90s on Chilevisión and Cartoon Network (at El Club de los Tigritos and Toonami respectively). The anime is based on the life of Kenshin Himura, a swordsman called “The legendary Battousai, the Manslayer” 10 years after the Meiji Revolution (the anime takes place in Japan). Himura is a wandering samurai that travel around Japan to search for redemption for his past crimes. At the Meiji Revolution, he was an assassin at the orders of the Ishin Shishi Clan, the revolutionary party at those times, and he fought against the Imperial Shogun and his elite police, the wolves of Miburo, the Shinsengumi. He is described as a master of the most powerful style of sword art, the ancient Hiten-Mitsurugi Ryu. After the Revolution Meiji, he begins his journey promising not to kill anymore. He wields a sakabatou, a reverse-blade katana, to maintain his promise. He arrives to Tokio, and meets Kamiya Kaoru, a teacher of art sword. The history begins in that point. This is my favorite TV show of all times because the history of Kenshin is the history of redemption, is the search for the forgiveness of all the enemies that he killed at the Revolution. For Kenshin, the punish for his crimes is to live. 100% reccomendable.

Hi everybody!!!!

Actually, my life seems to be a little different in comparison to my first year as college student. In those days, I was a dreamer boy and I thought that I could change the world, so my ambitions were much related with the social change. For a while I was happy with those ideas, with that way to see the world, to see the reality and I wished to become a great researcher and a college teacher.

But, eventually, I change and also I change my mind and my eyes. Presently, my goal is to finish the college, found a job in the south and work to buy a site at the Valdivia rain forest, beside a river. I want this for my life because I enjoy the calm and the serenity of my birthplace and I don´t want to leave that land. My inspiration is the conviction that I have to fulfill my goals, to search the way to go on in this city and find the strength to become the men I ever want to be. My only real ambition is the search of the peace and tranquility of my homeland, the sounds of the fish jumping above the river surface and the full moon nights.

Bye everybody!

A song to rest at the river shore...

Helloooooo everybody everywere!!!

Usually, i don´t like to listen instrumental music, but this is an exception. This song is callled "Aquatic Ambiance" and was writen by David Wise for the Original Sound Track of Donkey Kong Country, one of the greatest games ever done. This masterpiece of videogames was developed by Rare and Nintendo for the Super Nintendo System console and released at 1994.


The song was created for the "submarine stages" in the game. The first time i heard it, i had 5 years old. The music of the stage had a narcotic effect  on me and was a very relaxing experience. I don´t remember very well where i listen it, but the sound of the song bring my childhood to the present.
I am not an expert of music styles, but i think that this song is a instrumental-atmospheric song, like all the spundtrack in the game. The music of this game was "the cherry on the cake" that launch to the fame this franchise and makes Donkey Kong Country a fundamental piece of game´s history. I like very much this song beacuse, like i said previously, it brings the memories of my childhood to me and i remember things that i couldn´t remember. Also, the music is relaxing and provides an introspection moment in order to think who you are, what do you believe, where do you belong and all the questions that usually have in mind. This is a song to inmerse oneself.

If you have problems to sleep, i recomend this song and this album.

Goodbye, until the next entry :D
