Second Term 2010

Blog experience

I have enjoy my blogging experience, i think it is fun write a blog, to put colors and photographs; I have did this before the english classes, because I have another blog in spanish and i already knew how to do this... I think that did it much easy.

So... answering the next question, i think this is a good way to learn english, it is a way to write a lot, so we can learn vocabulary, it is not too complicate, i think it is easy.. and i can practice my english writing on a computer, and on this case specific, i can be on english classes and view another websites to know how is going the football match Inglaterra v/s Argelia...it is very confortable !
The bad thing i have found to this way of class is that sometimes I have forgotten to do the blog... because... well it is not a justification but, i have a lot of things to do for other classes and i just forget it . Still I really don`t know if I am really learning english doing the blog, i think i learn more vocabulary that any other thing, but I suppose that the practice of the language it's something like learning the language, so in conclusion I think i am learning english but i can't realize how much.... wherever, in general i like this way of classes, and I really like that they aren't so much stressing, because you have the possibility of doing the blog at home later...

Finally, to complete the 300 words (because i thought i have already finsh this but... I haven't) I can tell you that the football match is 0-0!! and the second time it's starting, this world cup has been very estrange even a little boring.... So many ties!! or results like 1-0... boring!

Photograph

This photograph was taken not so long ago at my house. Here appears my two cats: at left it is Lenin (the white and grey cat) and next to it, it's kuki (the black and white cat). lenin is two years old, it's a male cat and kuki is seven years old and it's a female cat. Well, this photograph is important to me because Lenin is lost since april 23 and I still think that lenin can go back home, so i will like to ask all of you if you have seen my cat.

Wherever... to complete the 250 words for this post i can tell the history of my cats: Kuki was found down my dad's car having littlest cats, this was six years ago more or least so, we doesn't know exactly how old is kuki but, we think and the veterinarian think kuki is seven years old. Three years ago Kuki had an accident and lost an eye, now kuki just have one eye, but still... it's a happy cat, kuki's life isn't just tragic! we all care about kuki at home.

The other cat, the lost one, it's calling Lenin, I put it this name because before lenin arrive to my house, lenin had another owner and she (a friend of my sister) call it "Leni" when Leni arrive home i really thought that name was horrible, so i start calling it "Lenin" and now, that is my cat's name; but, it's lost and kuki is very sad, they were good friends and they care each ether.

Music!

I really like music. Since i was a kid, i'm listening music. I like jazz music, i enjoy listening trumpeters: Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Lee Morgan; I also like the big bands like Duke Ellignton's big band, there are so many jazz musicians that i could be able to mention... Charlie Parker, Thelonius Monk, Art Blakey and the jazz messengers...
Well, I not only like listen music, i also like to play music, I have already mencion it on a past post, I play the trumpet and i have a band with five more friends, they play bass, guitar, saxophone, clarinet and drums. We call us "La orquesta Chora" and we play jazz music, a little of ska and sometimes cumbias.

About the concerts, i have been on a lots of concerts, the last one was a concert of the "Fabulosos Cadillacs" I also have been on smallers concerts, watching locals bands and local jazz musiciens, they are (the local jazz musiciens) not so famous but there are a lots of really good chilean jazz musicians and band like "retaguardia" or "santiago stompers" that are really good.

For the other side i also like some type of rock music; a few years ago, i went to a concert of a rock band call "the strokes", it was really good.

Post 4: Is Catholic Chruch in crisis?

I really don't know why this is such a scandal. I think that we all have listened about lots of abuses committed to children by priest a long time ago. The problem is that they do nothing about it and the catholic chruch always insist that there were just a few abuses and that it ins't a problem, even they tryed to hide and avoit the scandals; Now they are tryng to do something. I think it is a first step, it's something, but that doesn't mind so much, i think that they are doing this because is the only way to remain and avoid the possibility of a deep crisis and not for good will or something like that...

Well... i really don't like priests neither the catholic chruch (neither others), but i guest that they can't dissapear or become weakness for this scandals. The catholic chruch is the political party most ancient of all history and i don't think that this minds so much or reduce all the power of the chruch.

Finally, i just want to say that i hope this stop, i think this so terrible for a children, and we all have to cooperate denouncing the cases and we don't have to hide an abuse or try to defend the catholic chruch.

Post 3: Things i like.

mm... i like a lots of things. In first place i like music: i like to hear music and to play music. what kind of music? i really like jazz music, that's the reason for playing the trumpet (and the title of this blog is the title of a jazz song i really like). But also i like others kinds of music. I have a band that is calling "la orquesta chora" with five more friends, we play jazz music but also "cumbia" and ska or things like that.
I also like the photos and the cinema... well, i like the images. I take photos with a analogous camera (no digital photos) and i have a place on the internet to put my photos, is a flikr: www.flikr.com/panquequeconmanjar. When i have a few of free time i also like to read literature but in the week when i'm going classes i don't have much time for read other things that aren't for the class, so now i don't read so much literature but i have a lots of books waiting on my room, it is "my waiting list"...well, that's not all but the post is ready.

Post 2: The Earthquake

February 27th. I was on vacations so i was at El Canelo, it's a small town near Algarrobo, the coast of Chile, on the region of Valparaíso. I was there with three more friends and we had bus passages to come back to Santiago for that day at 16:00 hours so, it was our final day on the beach. Before the earthquake, we were just going to bed so i wasn't sleep when it started and I started to ask what was the stranges noises that i heard, my friends told me: it's trembling, then we all come back calm, we all were accustomed at the littles earthquakes because we were all chileans but then... the 8,8º richter really started and we all jumped near the doors, no one of us had been on an earthquake (we were all 20 years old more or least) so we comented that and we thought that it wasn't a really strong earthquake. When it ends we said something like "the people of santiago will have felt the earthquake?" and the light turn off.
