The End (for now)

And now, without realizing until now I'm writing my last blog. I could say that it was a good experience and it was. Althought it was a Obligatory activity, you always have the freedom to express in your most comfortable way, I value that. by the end this was a sandbox to practice my personal style in writing, that is priceless because being honest in the past I would never write in English if it's not for mandatory. Now I would do it. Looking in the future I can`t think in some thing to change, maybe the quantity of blogs but we can`t really change that, I don`t see a negative thing in the way we do the blogs. That says a lot about the method for doing this activity, you don't see it so difficult once you learn the connectors and words Sugestions? maybe give one blog of free topic, just for doing what we like to write the most. That's it thanks for all the lessons to my teacher and myself for being willing to hear all the suggestions. That's all for today and...

Film review: Pride (2014 film)

The movie Pride is more than Pride itself, it's about the struggles for being part of a fight that no one supports. It's about going through an unknow place just for feel that you got something to do in it. But before explaining all that, what is the movie about? The movie places in the british miners strike of 1984 due to the massive closeure of coal mines who affected thousands of miners that live near these areas, the story portayed here show us how a group of lesbians and gays decide to support the coal miners raising money for them creating an organization, the Lesbians and Gays Supports the Miners, by the end both side will learn from each other just for knowing what is to be oppresed by your belives. So we go to the beggining of mi review. This point  is what I most like about the film, the fact that It's more than the strike or the Pride. Neither the both sides be so sure in collaborating with the other, but by the end all share a same vision and broke these...

The News Website that I like (and i work)

Image
/       https://radiojgm.uchile.cl Well, if i have to choose i would choose this site. and I know that may sound egocentric but since i start to work in this Website, I began to understand how it works journalism. The design is very new and the sections are the same that other news sites but it has different names like "juegue" that is refer to the sports section. In general terms is the written version of the radio, with every news that the radio broadcast rewritten  but also it has  original material that you can only see in the website.  I visit this site every friday because i have to publish the news i write. But usually i saw once a day just for see what new contents it has, the most I see  is the news section but also i visit the opinion columns that once for a while are pretty interesting. I like this site and maybe it is because i work there, but i's pretty simplistic put it that way. If I have to admit that wokrkng in there make me ...

My Favorite Movie: Snatch

Image
For me it's very easy talk about my favourite movie. Because it`s not only the movie that i watched over 6 times, is also one movie that keeps me amazed in every detail that has. I'm talking about Snatch a 2000 movie directed by Guy Ritchie. I liked because it's very dynamic in every scene, it's chaotic but it manages to keeps all understandable. Also it has very iconic scenes that keeps forever in your memories, and all that with one of the greatest soundtrack I heard. If I has to choose my favorite character will be turkish, not only for be the character that introduces you to the movie, also for have one serious and badass actitude even when all is madness, making him a funny character even when he doesn't want to be like this. I would recomend this movie, but i already recommend this movie to many friends and strangers. So, i keep recommending the movie to everyone that wants to see a funny but original comedy. My advice , see it with the volume to maxim...

"why the chair? because i'm waiting to the rain" an odd photo story

Image
this story is weird since the begining till the end. just figure it out, i was trying to get sleep one night of heavy rain,  when suddenly it came to me this idea of a photo where i`m pretending to sunbathing in the rain. I thought it would be awesome and i liked instantly, but then i ask to myself how?. the first thing I do was to go down in my attic and look for beach chairs and summer clothes (that same night, i'm not kidding). then i realise that  the thursday i was going to take the picture (the next day of my thought) it would rain at 17:00 so it's going to be very cold and i didn't want to get sick. soon i realise that i have to pose in the picture and somebody else has to take it (considering that none of my friends or family would like to pose in a swimsuit in the middle of the rain). at first i thought of my friend bonilla and he actually say yes but he didn't show up that day, so i have to ask my other friend Pato ,who wasn't really know how to handl...

The cry for help of the janitors: Bread and Roses analysis

Image
The problem seems typical, most of the time we saw injustice among us, it`s very frequent. But it's still a cause which is worth to fight and that brings us to the Bread and Roses movie, based on the movement "Justice For Janitors" which took place in Los Angeles. I think the movie itself did a great job when it comes to clarifying the struggle of the janitor for, in the first place, their condition of illegal inmigrants and second their bad treatment of their employers who didn't give them health care and enough wage to survive, meanwhile they enjoy the profits of that questionable action.  But the movie doesn't give a total closure of the situation, when it ends i think that the context still has these loose ends which makes you wonder what happens later, but maybe was for the short gap between the protests and the movie itself. So, I will call this a quick-rush movie considering the context. when it comes to the characters I think that they represent the ...

My cellphone My obsession

Image
You know that is very important when you go out without it and instantly feel naked for that. Cellphones or Smartphones has become an important part for our average day for most of the people. In my case is a Sony Xperia XZ premium  who I got it the last year, when its predecessor (also Sony) couldn´t even do a phone-call without sound like you was under water. With it i do almost all of my journalistic work thanks for, well, all the perks that an Smartphone have this days like the voice recorder, the internet connection, a messenger service, his camera and of course the ability to make phone calls, ironically that's the most forgettable characteristic because it´s in all of them , practically you don´t need to say it or asking. Now, this cellphone in particular is special because it was my own decision. i mean, most of the time didn´t look for the specifications in my previous phones, many of them was part of the inheritance that some of my family gave it to me. But in thi...
