The Notebook

Since I have memory I always liked to watch movies, a lot of movies. So it’s been hard for me to define my one and only favourite movie of all times.
But today I decided to talk about a movie that I really like, and it’s the only romantic movie that I can watch a lot of times and won't get sick of it (and don’t make me cry like a lot of my friends).

The Notebook is a movie based in a novel of Nicholas Sparks (who has other novels that became movies too) is a love story that one old man tell to an old lady in a asylum, so the story happen as a flashback. 




The old man tells us about Allie and Noah, a couple in the 40’s of different social classes, how they fall in love and are forced to be separated by Allie's parents.

In the years that they spend apart they do a lot of stuff. Noah goes to the war and Allie get engaged with a guy that her family loves. But finally they end up together.

Finally we can see that the old couple in the asylum is having dinner and the lady remembers: the story is about them, they’re Noah and Allie. She has alzheimer and most of the time doesn’t remember anything, but thanks to Noah, some days she can remember the great love story that they share.

My dream job

I don’t really know where I would like to work when I get to be officially a journalist. Maybe it is because I haven’t thought it very much during my years in college.

Of course that I would love to travel a lot, like probably the most of my classmates and journalists in general, but I think that according to the life that I want to live (have house,  family and that stuff) it’s something that, if I really want to do, I should do as young as I possible.

Besides that, I think that I would like to work in something related to the T.V, maybe in the team of production of a TV show o if there is a chance, be a TV host, but it isn’t something that bothers or worry a lot right now.

Probably I will find my way in this profession by doing a lot of things. Trying in different roles and ending up finding what my dream job, for the moment I’m not worried for that.

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
