My favorite dish

Since I remember I love potatos. I love them in almost every way, but what I really love with all my heart and soul are the french fries.

I absolutely love them. With mayonnaise, ketchup, only salted, I really don't care. They're just perfect to combine with almost everything. With fish, beef, chicken, with a cheese burger, even if you only eat fries and nothing else.

If you’re going to talk about “mass produced” fries, I think that the best ones are from McDonalds and Johnny Rockets, but the fries from Juan Maestro are really good too. But we can’t forget about the homemade fries, the ones that you peel, cut and fry yourself, were you can taste the love in every single bite.

There are a lot of people that compares french fries with packaged chips –like Lays or Pringles- and I always think that they’re so, so mistaken comparing things that are deeply different.

As you can see, I’m very emphatic about fries: I love them, and I invite everyone to eat fries and don’t worry about the fat or the calories and just enjoy that wonderful taste.

London Calling

Today I’m going to talk about a country that I’d like to visit and before I start it was really difficult to decide only one country, because I really want –and expect- to travel a lot in my life. But if I had to decide right now to go somewhere that I never visited before I think I’d pick England.

First, and one of the most important reasons to me, it’s the homeland of one of the greateast bands ever: The Beatles (I think that it’s not necessary to explain more my first reason). Also I think that is an interesting country, with a lot of different people and atracctions, it’s multicultural and diverse.

England is a country with a lot of history and I really like to have a lot of time to embrace the culture and visit a lot of cities to get really involved with all of the environment.

London is the city that I’m more excited to know. The architecture, the musseum, the fashion, the music, the food –specially the famous fish and chips- and all of the things that we automatic relate with only say the word London.

Finally, as I’ll be in Europe I’d would like to visit other countries like France, Italy, Spain, Germany and all the places that I want.

Blogging

Hello everyone. Today I’m going to talk about my blogging experience in this semester.

In the past I had blogs but I never make a lot of entries because I’m a little shy when is it about writing of myself, so I never last much writing my own and personal blogs.

But with the english class I had to write every week about something new, and most of the times it was about things that I like, so it wasn’t hard for me to do it. What I liked the most was find pictures and photos to my publications, so I think that maybe I’m going to start a tumblr page of something like that, because I really like to search pictures of my favorite artists, movies, and movie stars too.

I think that write this kind of things help me to improve my english, because I had to write the things that came to my head in that moment, so it is a really good exercise to my english part of the brain jaja

Related to this I maybe start to look english blogs about fashion, movies and music, or themes that I want to read more, because I think that the habit of reading in english is very useful to learn more every time.

Lulu

My dog is the best in the world. She’s ten years old and arrive to my home when she was only one month. Her name is Lulu and she is a “kiltro” (chilean name for dogs that have a mix of races).
She is my responsability. I have to bathe her, feed her, and take care of the needs that she may have. But also she is my friend. We always take naps together, she is with me when I’m sad or feel lonely, she make me laugh too because she’s very funny, sociable and special.
She is my pet, my dog, my friend, my confident and I really love her. Now she has ten years old and don’t have the same energy and don’t like to play with her toys as she did years ago, she get tired and enjoys to be alone sometimes, but she still love to be around when I’m doing anything in my house, and she sleeps with me in the morning on the weekends, because she still the same little and sleepy dog that I choose to be my family.

Movies

Today I have to talk about movies and at first I thought it is going to be really easy because I love to watch movies.

When I was little I was obsessed with the Sleeping Beauty, I rented it every weekend and watched it in spanish and french. Then I grow up and expanded my taste with movies.

In this days I have several favorite movies. One of them is The Shining (1980), based on the novel by Stephen King, directed by Stanley Kubrik and starred by Jack Nicholson. It’s a psychological horror movie. I don’t really like horror movies but the thing that I love about The Shining is that is not necessary put a lot of especial effects and other stuff to make a great movie.

Another movie that I like is The Godfather (1972) based in a novel of Mario Puzo. This movie is really interesting and, although it’s very long, it maintains you entertained all the time.

This two movies are classics of the cinema, but I really like another kind of movies. One of my favorites is A lot like love (2005), starred by Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet. Also I like very much Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), stared by Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet and last but not least I really love the movie Like Crazy (2011) starred by Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones

Revista Paula

I almost never read magazines on paper, I prefer the websites and now are a lot of options that and you can choose even the subject of the magazines that you want to read in every moment of your life. I only bought magazines in the summer, when I go to the beach,

because I really enjoy reading Cosmopolitan magazine while I’m resting. 

But today I’m going to talk about one Chilean magazine’s website, Revista Paula (http://www.paula.cl/). I read this magazine since I’m little, and I always liked that mixes fashion articles, photo shoots, interviews and interesting themes.

As a journalist one of the things that I like the most are the journalists reports, because they approach to things that you don’t see every time in the media. Sometimes they do articles that I don’t like, but I can remember a few that I really liked and still remember and reread once in a while.

An aspect that I think is remarkable about the magazine is that the contents are online, obviously not ALL the contents that they put in the edition, but the articles at least are in the website and you can easily find them.

I love music

I always loved music. When I was little I remember that my mom every weekend cooked and do the house cleaning listening music of different artists. In that time we have a lot of cassetes that we bought or recorded, so when I played with my toys and my mom was cooking I get used to be accompanied with music.

Then I was discovering my own taste of music, but I think that obviously it was inspired in the music that we listened when I was little.

I really love The Beatles, I think that is one of the best bands ever, they’re like esencial in every playlist that I make, irreplaceable. 

The Beatles were the foundation and I started to define my musical taste. I like classic bands like Queen and artists like Bob Dylan. I also listen and love very much some rock bands and artists from Argentina. I love Gustavo Cerati’s music, Soda Stereo, Andres Calamaro, Spinetta, Charly Garcia and Babasonicos.
