Runa



Pets are the best! Along my life I've had ten dogs, some rats, one hen, one rooster, a rabbit, nine birds and six cats.

The first pet I remember was Max, an Airedale terrier. He was a beautiful dog. After him I had a female pointer, Canela, but she died poisoned. It was very sad. Then I had another pointer, she lived like 12 years, I don't know how she died because some day she just left from home and never came back. The others dogs I had were Polo, Oso, Tango, Melisa, Sara, Pipa and Runa. They all were very friendly and happy pets.

The rats, the birds, the hen and the rooster never had names, but the rabbit I called it Ponyo and the cats were Ron, Rucio, Pez, Chica, Newen and Tigre.

Right now the only pets I have are Runa, Tango, Sara and Newen, but the one I love the most is Runa. She is an English Setter, and I bought her two years ago like a birthday present for myself. I like her because she is very intelligent, beautiful and lovely.. She really likes people and she loves to go out. When someone makes a party in my house Runa is always trying to be in the party, she runs into the house and sits next to anyone.


This picture is from the second day of Runa in my house, she was so little and calm.

This one is from a week ago, she's always so happy

Spain

There are many places I want to go like the south of Chile, Ecuador, Europe, Asia, etc, but the country I would like to visit in first place is Spain. My great-grandfather is from spain, he came to Chile a long time ago and I had always listened wonderful stories about that place. In Spain I really want to visit Galicia, where my grandfather was born. My father went there a few years ago and told me that is very beautiful and the people are very kind and hospitable. The capital of Galicia is Santiago de Compostela, there is the shrine of Saint James the Great, a pilgrimage destination. I'm not a religious person but my plan to visit Spain and Galicia is by doing the Road to Santiago because the trip is like an adventure, I would visit a lot of  places by walking and meet a lot of people from differents countries. That road has differents routes, I would like to do the French Way. It starts in  Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and it can take at least four weeks, so is a long way. I still have to plan more my trip and save more money, I hope I can do it soon.

The picture below is a castle in Galicia

This is the map of the French Way:

Italy

I would like to visit Italy. It seems like a beautiful contry. When I was in Art I had a class about the history of art and we saw a lot of great artists who born in this country. I'm very interest in visit the places where they lived and the museums. I really like to go to Florence, a lot of artists from the Renaissance were born there, like Miguel Angel, Botticelli, DaVinci and Bocaccio, and I really admire their work.
In Florence I would like to visit the Uffizi Gallery where are paintings since Gothic until XVIII century, and the Academy Gallery where is the Miguel Angel's David sculture.

Rome is another place I would love to go. Is the capital of Italy. Is one of the mayors centers of the Italian Renaissance with Florence and has a lot of arquitectonic properties like the Colosseum. I really like to visit the Colosseum, it is an elliptical amphitheatre and also an iconic symbols of the Imperial Rome.
I would like to visit the Sistine Chapel and see the frescos that Miguel Angel made like the one in the picture.

Chile

Today I have to write about Chile. I was born and raise in Chile so I know a lot about this country. I really like his geography because we can find different kind of animals and nature in general. We also have different tipes of weather so we can choose whether to live with hot, cold or template weather.
I would totally like to live at the south of Chile, because I love the nature and that it is a place with a lot of nature, you can see green at almost every place you look at.
I think that there is just one thing I don't like about Chile and that is the absence of free quality superior education.The universities are making an exesive profit with something escencial in the society. I would totally change this. Perhaps not for all the chilean poblation, but for the best students of each school. I would make more sports based schoolarships, this way I also encourage people to have a healthier life.
I have been in other countries like Mexico. The principal differences between cultures are caused by the overage poblation that México haves.
I think the young international perception of Chile is that we party a lot and that we know how to have fun. I think that this is because the time that night clubs open and close and the amount of alcohol and drugs that we consume.This perception it is not wrong, but we shouldn't generalize it to all the young society.
I think Chile is a very interesting country and anyone that visit it will fell in love with the nature at day and with the fun at night.

Hævnen

Today I have to write about movies so I will write about the last movie I saw in a cinema, Hævnen, the name in English is "In a better world". I saw it last week in El Biógrafo, a cinema in Lastarria.
Hævnen is a Danish drama movie written by Anders Thomas Jensen about the lives of two Danish families that cross each other. The movie takes place in a town in Denmark and in a Sudanese refuge camp. One of the characters is Anton, a doctor who works in the refuge camp and travels to Denmark a lot to see his sons and his ex wife, who is also a doctor. One of their sons, the oldest, is bullied at school until he is defended by Christian, a new student whose mother just died . After that, they made good friends, but this friendship became in a dangerous relationship.
The film is about power and impotent, justice and injustice. It's a very emotional and human movie.
I like it very much, the story has sad and beautiful and happy things, like real life. The acting is amazing and the photograph is very beautiful, it has a lot of details.
I really recommend it :)

TED

Today I have to write about a career-related website that I enjoy visiting but the truth, I don't have any. But I know a website very interesting, it isn't only about psychology but it has some things about it.
The web site link is http://www.ted.com/  
TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) is a global community and the mission of it is spread ideas with talks, books, a blog and events around the world. 
The website has a video section, where you can watch any of the talks. You can find talks about very different topics like science, business, psychology, global issues, almost everything. Most of the talks are in English but they usually have subtitles in Spanish, French, German and Arabic. 
I visited this site very often but with the things of my university I don't have a lot of time to watch the videos, but I really like it. The talks are always entertaining, the topics are very well explained so it is very easy to understand and the speakers always seems to love the things that they are talking about. 
Well, I invite you to visit the site and enjoy :)

Z

Today I have to write about my favorite music artist but I don't have one so I'll write about an artist that I like a lot: ZPU. His real name is Juan Prieto Sanchéz, he is a spanish raper and he born in 1981.

Z started his music career being a member of the hip-hop group called Muerte Acustica in 1994, a few years later the group changed of name to Magnatiz. After they launched two albums the group broke up .
On 2006 ZPU launched his firts solo album: Hombre de oro. Now he has seven albums, his latest album calls Doce Lunas and it was launched on 2013.
I like his music because it always has contents, in his songs he criticizes things about society like discrimination, animal mistreat, wars, politics and the superficial things that  the TV and some newspapers show. A lot of his songs are very soulful but he also has songs more simples and less deeper.
He has a few songs with others rappers that I like very much like Nach, Abram, Suko, etc.
On 2012 ZPU came to Chile with  Nach and I went to their concert, it was amazing. It was the first time that Z came to Chile and I hope he come back soon.
The link below is from a song for his latest album. The song is "Instinto animal" and he sings it feat Esther Ovejero.
