Post 6: "Summer Plans"

Hi!

Summer… Such a great time of the year.

So this year I’m specially looking forward to be vacation time because my father got a job in Ecuador, more specifically in “Islas Galápagos”  and he is going to be there for a whole year, and, of course, I’m going to go visit him J .

It’s has been years since I’ve had a family vacation or anything like it, so of course I’m really looking forward to this one, I want to spend some time with my family, but most of all I want to travel all around the islands, this islands are very well known for their ecotourism programs and I’m very excited to do and to see all the possible things that I’m allowed to, and, I have to say, the idea of being in the same island where Charles Darwin worked on his theory of  “natural selection” makes me even more excited.

Besides that I also want to be able to spend much more time with all of my old friends, almost all of them are studying or working on something so we haven´t been able to hang out that much but summer can change that, I hope I can see them more often and maybe get a job, because, sadly, money is a very important part of summer, at least if you want to make some getaways to the beach a couple of days.

Greetings!

Post 4: "My favorite Movie"

Hello!

I honestly believe that it is really hard to choose one favorite thing about everything, but, in terms of movies my very likely favorite one is “V for Vendetta”, this movie kind of involves all the things that I like in a movie and in a good history, it is a true, hard and direct movie about love, inspiration, injustice, politics, but most importantly about fighting for freedom, for what we believe it's right, for not letting power overcome us.

The first time that I saw this movie was in a night of 2011 during a situation we call “toma”, my school was in the middle of a strike because of what was happening on a national level and with a group of friends we decided to make a “movie night” so we chose this one.

Beside that kinds of movies I like all types of movies from drama ones to science fictional ones (in this topic I must admitted that superheroes are the kind that I most enjoy).

So, to finish, the last movie that I saw was “Bridget Jones's Baby” this one is currently on cinemas, and, I have to say, you must go watched if you one to have a pleasant and very cheerful time, I laughed the whole time (even thought I still have some critics to the way this movies “sell the idea of love”).

Greetings! 

Post 3: "Your favorite Book"

Hello again!

I must said that before becoming a law student one of my favorites things to do was reading all sorts of literature, but giving the fact that all that I do now is read academic books I haven’t been able to do it.

Is really hard to choose only one favorite author, in every topic of literature I have a different one, from fictional and dystopian ones (were J.K Rowling and Orwell are my favorites), through romantic novels (Jane Austin, I must admitted), to, I think my favorite topic, historical novels (with Follet and Falcones just to say some), but, anyway, I believe that everyone has, or at least should have, that kind of book that just changes you, and I think that that book for me is “Sofia’s world” by Jostein Gaarder, a novel that guides a young woman to the search of her identity through philosophy.

The last book that I read, for my own taste, I believe it was “Código Chile” by Carlos Basso, a historical and also whodunit Chilean novel that connects Nazi Germany during World War II with mysteries of our own country, I really recommend it!

Regards, Gaby. 

Post 2: "The best concert ever..."

Hello classmates

I actually have been into a lot of great concerts so it is really hard to choose only one, I’ve been into 5 Lollapaloozas, a few other festivals, I’ve seen Blur, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Arctic Monkeys, and a lot more (recently I saw Aerosmith) but if I must choose only one I have to stay with the show that the Rolling Stones gave this year in the national stadium on February third.

It’s really hard to not know who the Rolling Stones are, but anyway this is a British rock band form on 1962 by, in the present, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Woods and Charlie Watts with hits like “Satisfaction”, “Paint it in black”, “its only rock and roll” and my favorite one “Gimme Shelter”.

Going to concerts it’s one of my favorites things to do because, apart to the fact that I love music, the connection that people create during a concert is just amazing, it’s full of happiness, joy, and a sense of belonging to something, and The Rolling Stones have that thing that no other band can match, they’re talent, energy, and even age gives them a unique sense that makes them the best rock band ever, I think.

The show last for about 3 hours and they played the best songs on their discography, Jagger’s moves were awesome and the people energy was indescribable.
