A "good-normal" year

Since some years I wanted to enter to university and see how it's like, cause I was always bored at school. Every year the inspector said to me that I should cut my hair, and obviously, I hated to use uniform, and now that I am in the university, I haven't really asked to me if this is what I wanted or even if this has been a good year to me, so am gonna talk about that.

Well, actually and most important, cause this is the context that mold almost all my acts, it's that I am very happy for getting in the university and having the experience of studying in the best university of this country. Also, I feel great with all those friends that I've met here, including those that are writting this post exactly at the same hour I am (22:34 PM). So thanks to all of you <3.

I have to say that I dont really find any bad thing that happened to me deserves to be accentuated, cause being honest I haven't suffered anything terrible this year, and thats ok to me (why should I like to suffer anyway?).

I must say that I don't really have any goal to this year, or something to do before it's over, maybe that I would like to get a tattoo or buying another skinny jeans, so material (like archaeology <3). The closest to a goal for this year is that I want to exempt every subject I can, so I can start to rest earlier.

So well, that's all, I don't have much to say really. It's been a "good-normal" year to me, and nothing really bad happened to me this year, Nature or God must be proud of me.

Childhood's Series

As we know, today channels like Cartoon Network transmit a lot of bizarre cartoons like Adventure Time or Regular Show, attempting to a crude humor and bizarre/weird draws. Actually I don't watch much  TV, just anime or certain movies on my pc, so I can't please myself watching those programs.

One of the weirdest moment on "The marvelous misadventures of Flapjack"
Fortunatly as a child, TV emitted a lot of good programs, teaching us things such as a basic use of english, or values like fellowship and solidarity.

One of  'em was Blue's Clues. On this american children's television program, we follow Steve in his search of Blue, a little dog, which in every chapter goes to walk around differente places around the house where they live.

To find her, he follow some clues, mainly objects that are marked by the "palm" of Blue's paw. After finding three clues, Steve sits on the "thinking chair", where after thinking some minutes he can connect those three ideas to create something "material", for example a certain toy like a doll. So, when he goes to where he remember that there was a doll, there's Blue playing with it. <3 LOVE THAT SERIE!!!

Steve and Blue on the Thiking Chair <3
As I was growing, I also changed the TV series that I liked to watch. So, Digimon was (and still being) my favorite chilhood serie. Emitted by Fox Kids, it was about seven boys and girls that are teleported to the "Digital World", just in middle of their summer camp.

There, they discover the existence of "Digimons" (abbreviation of DIGItal MONsters), which are monsters, or in that world, a sort of "normal animals" there, that they used to fight (non-gore fights) to another Digimons, with the objective of leaveing that world and return to theirs. It had a lot of adventure, action and a very nice soundtrack, all of us remember the opening or ending of the series.

The seven chosen children and their own digimons.
So well, nothing more to say really, I had a nice childhood with perfect cartoons, better than the actual ones.

As green as possible

All we know global warming has started to impact the whole world since many years ago, and how fast this is happening continues to grow. In Chile, we don't have much "implanted" a friendly way to take advantage of environment, fortunately, everday appears more and more NGOs trying to aware us about the problems that we have and that we cause.

As I said, people learn about this in many ways, getting information through social networks (and participating on events, march, etc), being member of an NGO, reading news or even looking for this information on internet.


I have to say that I try to be as much "careful" with mother nature as I can. I've never thrown  trash on the street, when I get a shower I try to use the fewest possible amount of water, I always turn off those lights that are on with no sense. Also, in my home we don't use plastic bags to go shopping.

Yep, kinda sad
When I need to go to a place that isn't in a long distance (like 1-2 hours walking), I preffer to walk instead of  using a bus or going by car. By the way, I still don't learn how to drive.

I don't really know what I would like to do to contribute to this noble cause, I'm already trying to pollute as least as possible, so, to reduce my carbon footprint I will probably never work on a company.

To finish this, I would like to say that, if we want to keep living, we need to take care about the place that let us live,  we need massive advertising, commercials, publicity, even some spaces in TV shows like news. We need everyone to know about the problem, and how we can still solve it.

If everything goes bad, all we know how this will end.

So… the scariest monster of my childhood

All of us has grown knowning tales like Little Red Riding Hood or Frankenstein, seriously doubting about existence of aliens or ghosts, believing on Santa Claus or Easter Bunny. However, there's a story, that due to his specificity on space and time, makes him one that is able to letting you think if it's real or just fiction, Dracula. On this ultra-famous book is where was created one of the most popular terms to talk about vampires, Nosferatu.

Nosferatu, basically, would be a synonym of vampire, but it's also a movie, entitled "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror", that, really... as soon as I saw it, my mind just went out of place. As a german expressionist vampire horror film, released on 1922 and filmed by F.W. Murnau, it scared my whole childhood. Until now, I find it so creepy and horrifying.


 Like every vampire (at leas, the “original” vampires), he has big teeth to suck blood of their victims, he can’t tolerate sunray so he is pretty more active in the night. This way, it sounds like any other “classic” vampire, but, just look at his face. With a bald head, he has sharp ears (like elf’s ears), some kind of “natural”, giants and darks eye bags, with very thick eyebrows, unnatural large fingers and  basically, every single tooth is (or looks) like a fang.



I always remember the scene where he opens the door of a room and stays in front of it, or another in which he’s going upstairs, and you only see his shadow contour.
What a bad memories I have of it…
