A Family meal


My family used to have great long meals every year in my grandparents house, almost every month, but lately I can't remember the last time we have one. I don't know if it is because I don't have the time to actually go since I'm in college or just because having these meetings is not so frequent as it used to be.

So, I'm going to tell you about a lunch we have on summer vacations. I can't remember the date, but it had to be in January-February of 2007 or 2008. Me and my family went to Loncura, Quintero and we stayed in a vacation turist resort of my mother's job. There was me, my little brother Benjamin, my sister Monserrat, my mum and her husband at the time, my mother's parents and her little brother Carlos.

Some day, when we went to the casino to have lunch, my uncle Carlos wanted to play a joke on my mum, so he stealed her dessert and started to eating it. When she found out, she wanted to do the same, and then they started a fight for the desserts and spreaded them all over the table. They even went to the kitchen and asked for more. That made me and the rest of the people in the casino laugh out loud, because it was so funny. But my grandparents, specially my grandmother was so embarrasing that she changed her sit and made like she didn't know them. Memorable.

Another family meal I remember was in the night before the earthquake of February of 2010. I had been in Punta Arenas for my summer vacations and I just arrived to Santiago that night, so I came to my grandparents house about 10 pm. It was a big family reunion and we had a celebration dinner because we had not been all toghether a long time ago. My aunt Mime who lives in Antofagasta was there with my cousins and her husband. My mum was just moved out from Punta Arenas to Quintero, so she came with my brother and sister, and my aunt Lorena with her husband and her 3 daughters were there too. The meeting last until just a couple of hours before the earthquake started, and we were all comunicated, so it was much more calming to live that moment in family.

YouTube Channels

Hi everyone!
Today I'm going to tell you about some interesting channels I follow in YouTube.
First in the list is Epic Rap Battles of History (ERB). This channel upload very funny rap videos made by Nice Peter and EpicLLOYD. These videos shows two or more characters in a vs rap battle, so you'll see all rappers as cosplayers. You can notice a lot of work and research in order to create a good video . My favourite videos are "Bill Gates vs Steve Jobs", "Nikola Tesla vs Thomas Edison", and "Rasputin vs Stalin". They used to play a lot with lyrics.

Another YouTube channel I like is "CrazyRussianHacker". This is a guy that likes making videos about practical home made experiments. Everything he does looks so easy and makes you want to try it too. I know that internet is full of this kind of videos but what I really like about Crazy Russian Hacker is his russian accent and personal style. I think it's so funny!

Finnaly, I'm going to talk about "Vsauce". This is a very interesting channel that combines several topics in their videos like science, technology, video games and more. My favourite section is GAME LÜT. I totally recommend it.

My blog experience



Well, I never had blog before, not even an spanish one. I think this has been a very nice experience. I really enjoy writing in my blog and I'm going to miss it next semester :/

I personally believe that this is a very good thing for students because they can practice not only their grammar but their vocabulary. And, of course, writing a blog not only improove your english skills. You can express yourself by putting your thoughts in words, wich is always a good thing.

I think all the subjects were chosen very carefully. I didn't feel uncoumfortable with none of them because, in general, they were easy. I can't tell you which I enjoy the most because I enjoy writing each post.

On the other hand, I was able to meet some new people with different ideas. I hope we can keep in touch :)

Laura :)


Good morning bloggers.

Today is turn to talk about my little sister Laura. I´ve got two brothers and two sisters. Laura is the youngest one. She was born in November the 18th, 2012, so she's so little yet. She has beautiful blue greyish eyes and a thin clear brown hair. Recently, she learnt to say my name, so I'm very happy about that. She's only able to say a few words like laura, mum, cat, bread and water - obviously in spanish. She calls me "Naty" or something like that.

Laura has a very friendly personality, because she likes to say hi to everyone, and she's very tender too. She usually hugs and kisses us and whoever she want, specially guys and even my cats! - she looks so cute when she does that :3.

She also likes to dance any kind of music and hum any song she can. I think she's very creative with her dance movements. She's got rythm!

I like the many manias she has. For example, she like to eat bread with butter or avocado, but she eats all the butter first and then she ask for more. She likes to eat almost every kind of food, but she´s not fat at all.

I love Laura :)

First day at school


Good Morning Everyone!

I'm trying to remember my first day at school but it is a bit difficult to me. I think I was 4 years old when I enter to "pre-kínder". We all took a photo of our first day. The school was called "N.S. María Inmaculada" and it was near of my home, so my mum brought me to school by walking. My uniform was a jumper, tie, and beret. About two years later the school decided to change the uniform and replaced the jumper for a grey skirt.

My teacher was called Nelly. She was a beautiful, thin and straight hair woman. She wore a Green apron and jeans.  I don't remember who I met in my first day, but some of my closer friends was Fanny, Yanatay and Mauricio.

I remember I like going to school so much because I played with my classmates all day. Besides I learnt a lot of new things, like numbers and maths. I also liked writing and drawing. Something I remember is that I ussually brought lemon cookies for snack.

Tickets to Japan


Hello everyone!

I want to travel to Japan since I was a child, because I love anime and manga very much. Now there are a lot of things that I want to see there besides that: The beautiful old architecture and traditional japanese houses, the Mount Fuji,  the amazing technology and , of course, true ramen & sushi!. I simply love the entire culture. I think they are very interesting and skilled people with great moral values.

Even when I'm not a religious person, I like to visit many temples like Sensoji in Tokyo, Daigan-ji in Miyajima island, and Todai-ji in Nara - I really want to see that huge bronze statue of the Buddha in person!. Don't forget going to Kyoto and see the emperor's temple. I would like to go to a Cherry Blossom festival or Snow festival too.


One of the things that I really want to do in Japan is going to a onsen and take a long hot thermal bath. In Tokyo, I definitely will go to a karaoke and to a sushi bar. In Kyoto, I also want to see and stay in Gion. I think it must be a very beautiful village, with all these ancient japanese houses. I would like to try sleeping in a futon.

Uff! I think I must stay a whole month in Japan in order to achieve all my goals. I hope I can eventually travel there some day.


Cats!

Hi Bloggers

Here I am, updating my blog after my absence. Today I'm going to write about my cats. I have two cats, both male. I called them "Naranjo" and "Blanco". I'm aware those aren't the most singular names but that's because I'm supposed to give my cats to another person when they were born, but I never found anybody, so I didn't name them appropriately to avoid becoming too attached - obviously didn't work at all.



Naranjo is the wildest. He learnt to climb up very young and he never stop since then. I usually have my back full of scratches because he loves to stand in my shoulder, like a parrot complex. Also, he's very good opening doors and is the best in hunting any kind of insects. What I really love of this cat is that he is the most loving, amorous and affable animal that I ever met. He hugs me and caress me a lot.




Blanquito is a very talkative cat. He always welcomes me with a friendly chat. Sometimes it seems like he answer you and gives you his opinion when you ask something at loud. It's very funny. He really loves lie down "on you" instead of "beside you". He's not so good climber or hunter but he eats anything without getting sick.

Anyway, they are very important for me. They are my friends and partners. They're always by my side. And I mean ALWAYS. They follow me wherever I go, it doesn't matter if they were sleeping, they always sense when I go.
