TV SERIES!

Since I was a child I love watch TV, now is the only activity that relaxes me and entertains in my free time. All these time I was see soap operas, but now my great passion it´s the TV series.
These days much of my favourites series are coming to their end of season so I´ll have to wait several months to continue with their stories..
I see them every day for cable tv, but when it´s a premiere chapter, I prefer watch in the internet.
My favourite serie it´s House M.D. , ok I love Hugh Laurie but I like too the medical histories and complex character of the protagonist because  is very unpredictable.
Another series that I love is Grey´s Anatomy, each chapter it´s also medical stories that happens in a hospital but focuses more on the live of the doctors that the patients.
Smallville is another series that I follow from the begin, but unfortunately that ended one week ago; this series talk about Superman before become a superhero.
Finally a few months ago, I began to see The Big Bang Theory, and I find great!!!!, this series it´s about a group of friends scientists that work in a university, the leader of the group is Sheldon Cooper and I must be recognized that him (is jerk but I loved) main theme of all chapters around of this particular character.
To end I will tell you that my guilty pleasure it´s watch cooking shows, I love the Fox Life channel and it´s programs: Jamie´s 30 minutes meals, Bill´s food, Nigella, The Delicious Miss Dahl and Ace of Cakes, and I dream make the same food :D

My best holydays

The best holydays i've ever been it was summer on 2010, in chiloe. In this vacations I went with my parents, my brother and, in this time, my boyfriend.
Begins our journey the 11 february and our first stop it was in chillan, the next day we went to Chiloe, to a town called Queilen. We visited to my cousin and his wife and they recived us with open arms. In this place we ate a lot of typical food, I loved the curanto, roast lamb and the others food.
I liked the view to Chaiten volcano (it's in front of Queilen), and what struck me most was when the tide goes out and comes to each moment

On february 22 we set off on the return journey and we stop in Puerto Octay to camp by the lake Llanquihue but we went two days later because we found with a torment and decided travel more the north.

On february 24 the next stop it was in the town of Lican Ray (to camp again) and in this place my boyfriend ask me marriage, that is the moment most important of all my holydays, he chose a moment that we went out for walk by the lake side in the evening and i accepted his proposal. Four days later we return to Santiago, but this journey ever been in my memory

Latin American Stereotypes

Honestly i dont like to label people accord his caracteristic, good or bad, usually the bad characteristics are the stereotypes.
I'm not agree to classify a people or nation by characteristics of a few. But the really it's other, I mean in latinoamerica we are specialists in classify people from a morbid perspective.

Some stereotypes that I know are :

the argentines are egocentric; they think they are the best
the brazilian are friendly and very good dancer
the bolivian are poor and uneducated
the mexican are corrupt and they talk loud
the chilean are thief and aggressive
the colombian are "guerrilleros"(a kind of people that like the warfare) and dangerous
the perubian are resentful but very polite
the venezuelan are beatiful, i mean, they everytime win beauty contest
the uruguayan are proud and very good player soccer.

I belive that stereotypes exist because we allow it, makes us feel better characterize to other people. But the really it's that chilean people are not better, in fact in many other countries we are clasificated in a bad way and even can't travel in freedom beacuse some places the chilean people have so bad reputation. It's unfortunate that we are known internationally as thieves and swindlers because that does not represent the majority of people who are Chilean.
Anyway, I think we can change the way in we are identify if we leave of identify and stop stereotyping others. In this way may know our people as they really are, friendly, generous and kind.

Playa Maqui

My favourite beach is “Playa Maqui” , it´s located in lake Llanquihue in the X Region in a town called Frutillar (in kilometre 6th of the camino costero towards Puerto Octay). Playa Maqui is situated in a bay protected from the wind, in the midst of an enviable natural surrounding, with a magnificent view towards the volcanoes Osorno, Puntiagudo and Calbuco.
It´s a private beach situated inside a camp site. In all my life I only gone four times, in the summers to 1992, 1997, 2002 and 2009. Unfortunately now the camp site it´s closed at the entrance to the beach is prohibited, only can visit a lodge (with the same name the beach) and walk for the beach but not camping anymore.
The most beautiful to me from this place is the quiet and the view. Another of the great attractions for this place is the gastronomy, In the town can to taste a lot of cakes of German origins because people who lives here descent are German.
 The last time, I went  camping with all my family for one week. In that oportunity went to the lake “Todos los Santos” (it's very nearly) and enjoy music week's in the theater of the Frutillar lake.

Correction to Marcela

One of my favorite movies is Erin Brockovich

Directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Julia Roberts, who is also my favorite actress.

Erin is an unemployed single mother, after losing a personal injury lawsuit against a doctor in a car accident she was in, asks her lawyer, Edward L. Masry, if he can find her a job in compensation for the loss.  When her get there begins with an investigation into the health records of a woman from the town of Hinkley. Erin discovered through this that there it is a company polluting the water of Hinkley, California. The people was sick for polluting in the community. 

Erin begins to more thoroughly investigate everything that happens in Hinkley, and realizes that the family of Donna Jensen is not the only that presents  disease  that presents no problems of contamination, and decides to gamble completely to find the truth, even with all problems of money  and in raising their children. Amid all this meets George who happens to be a support in your life and like a father to his children. Erin discovers a document from 1966 that shows a conversation between an executive of San Francisco GPE with the headquarters of the Hinkley station showing that they knew the water was contaminated and did nothing about it and recommended the Hinkley station to keep a secret the neighborhood. The evidence was reviewed by a judge without a jury and PG & E was ordered to pay a settlement amount of $ 333 million to be shared among the 648 applicants. 

This is my favorite movie more than anything by force and conviction that shows Erin Brockovich in spite of difficulties, be underestimated is superimposed over all the prejudices that recain on her for being a single mother and also a woman with a personality lush character. 

the first time I saw her was when I was about 14 years and from there I see every time I have opportunity like many other movies of Julia Roberts

My life in Internet

I think that internet its very necesary because is a tool used for almost all the world, and without this tool we can´t entry to the comunication international.


My favourite social network it´s Google, every day for everything to resort to this page, since I have internet used this page for trivial things, homeworks, research, entertainment, etc. I considerer the best and more complete searcher than ever exist... In my notebook it´s always my principal page.


The other page that used every days, although for funny is Facebook. I have an account since two years ago (I think :/) and I have a lots friends, honestly I don´t speak or post so much and I talk with no more than 5 person... I used this web site for play video games how Cityville (I´m obsessed).


Finally I belive that facebook it´s a very important social network, sometimes people can find person that have lose contact, or old friends. Personally I have a lot of friends that I dont see for so long time ago, for example my friends of the school and high school or my family that live in diferent parts of the country. Unfortunately i have to admit I use this page for less important things to be aware of my loved ones.


Well... this its all for today !

Favourite Movie

My favourite movie is "Legens of the Fall" by Edward Zwick, is a film based in a book of Jim Harrison with the same tittle written in the 1979. This movie was perfect because the actor Antony Hopkins, Brad Pitt, Henry Thomas, Aidan Quinn and the actress Julia Ormond had exceptional  performances. The movie opened in 1994 in USA. The story is about of the Coronel William Ludlowa, father of three sons; They are Samuel, Tristan and Alfred, who were falling in love of the same women with the same woman... Susannah.

The story takes places in USA, located in Montana on the first World War. The first time that I saw this movie was in 1997 and I loved completly... Now I have it on DVD and I like watch this movie with my husband. The most beautiful of the movie for me, it's the Soundtrack's, so I chose one song of this album for the entrance to the church in my marriage. I like the movie for its romance, scenery and family history.

I think that this movie is better than others because talk about the drama of the real life, The film was nominated for the academy awards for Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction and Best Sound, and won the category for Best Cinematography.

For finish I invite for everyone to see and enjoy this movie.
