Pride & Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite movies,- other movies that I love are Amelie and Inception-. I don’t know exactly why I chose this movie, but I want  share with you if  you want to watch it some day.

Pride and Prejudice is based on a book that has the same name that the one that was written by Jane Austen published in 1813. It is set in the 19th century, in England. 

The story is about Elizabeth Bennet, her family, and her love-hate relationship with Mr. Darcy, where the pride and the prejudice are central elements that make difficult their relationship for the context of the age.

The prejudices are social prejudices, because of belonging to a different social strata, he belongs to high class, she belongs to down stratum. And the pride derives from this. They cannot love each other because of the prejudices.

It is a romantic story, with a lot feelings of love and hate.

I think that this is the reason why I like it, but also I like it for the set, and the well performance of the actors.

And the actors are great, specially the main actors.

Elizabeth Bennet is play by Keira Knightley, and Mr. Darcy is play by Matthew Macfadyen.

I recomend you this movie!!

 

The book

The movie

An admirable person.

If exist someone that I admire so much in my field is Gabriel Salazar, who is my teacher of Social History of Chile.

He is a eminent historian of the Chilean's history. He is a founder of the historiographics trends called  New 

Social History, that it's based in the construction of history from the social actors that compose it.

He is, also, sociologyst and philosopher. 

He was born in 1936, in Chile, and studied his secundary education in the "Liceo de Aplicación". His superiors studies, carried out in the "Universidad deChile", were firts history in 1960, and after sociology and philosophy parallely.  

In 1970, Salazar joined to "MIR" (Movement of Revolutionary Left), and during the Dictadure, he was taken prisioner. 

In 2006, he won the Nacional Prize of History of Chile.

During his life he has wrotte a lot book like "farmworker, laborer, and proletarian", " In the name of the Popular Power Constituent"

He like me, because his way of to see the history is very interesting, that is a vision almost opposite to the history that teach on the schools. Is a  much more dinamic history, explaining the causes of  events, not just the event facts .

He is Gabriel Salazar

National festivities

Within the Chile's holidays, one of the most enjoyed by me is the national festivities, and are many reasons of why I enjoy the most. The first reason is that there are several free days, a week sometimes, that while in class to have a free week is much appreciated. Another reason is that I go visit my grandparents in the country, where I also share with all my family, and I eat good things as empanada and roast meat. Another good reason is that for those days spring starts, and I love spring, is my favorite season because everything is green and fresh, the temperature rises and there are flowers everwhere and this makes me very happy. And the last reason is that is my birthday - 21st september- that generally is inside the free week and they celebrate me, so I have a better time.

For all this  the national festivities is the one that I enjoy the most but no precisely for what those days mean. I don't care about the patriotism or army. 

Photographs...

If there is something that I really like is photograph. I like to take photographs and sometimes look at photos that someone else took. Like the photo above.  I like to find sense in it, that expresses something, that it can feel through of it. 

I don't have one favorite photograph, I have many, but I chose this one because I feel very expressive, I can feel heat of summer afternoon and the warm breeze. I love how it is taken. It is very nice.

This photograph is taken by a Turkish photographer, called Metin Demilaray, I found him on web page Deviantart.com, and he has really wonderful works. I think that I love all his works.

Someday, I would like to take photograph like this one, expressives and beautiful.

The photograph it is a good way for to show the world, it's a lovely and precious art.

Can you feel something through to this photograph?

The Children's voice

 Within in the demands of Chile the last time, it's add other that  result very peculiar. In my opinion I found very valuable that the different groups that  form our society have right to express, right to voice, as the subjetc protagonist of the following new:

  In Santa Cruz, a small town in the sixth region of Chile, a group of 150 children protested for a new place to play, because the old-place for playing was damaged and ugly. The children protested on the squore with banner expressing their discomfort for the bad way of the games, because this games was rusty and swings was cut.They wanted new games. The Santa Cruz's Mayor, Sergio Muñoz payed attention about their demands, but for the moment it's just patch solutions, because just painted their old games and mended a bit the others.

The new games will be installed in January of the next year. Meanwhile the children have to keep waiting for the games to be installed.

Although the children will wait for 8 months to see the new games, I like to see that the children can express their ideas and they can be heard.

Tomás =)

Today I'm going talk about a very special person to me, my best friend!

His name is Tomás, I met him at the university  the last year.

He is a very sweet and honest person, he is clever and very responsible - to difference of me hahaha-, he is a bit impulsive and he thinks that his life it's a movie.

The greatest between us is that we think similar about the life and I think that it makes us get along well.

The most I like to do with he is enjoy the life, walking on any park, eating o drinkin  coffee, or simply talking about anything, sometimes very superficial and sometimes very deep.

We are actually differents in several aspects, and this it's cool too.

He always help me with everything and he don't like to see me sad. He actually make me happy and I think that he is the best. I love him so much.

This is a picture of us together.

About a piece of technology

The life that we live is surround of technology, for a lot of people is almost essential, and I'm not out of this. 

Two pieces of technology are important for my life. My computer and my cellphone. 

The computer came to me when I was eight years old, and since then it has serve me for much things. And also with the internet, they opened me the world.

On the other hand, my first cellphone I had it when I was 10 years old. I has have about six cellphone, and the last is like a mini-computer. I like it because I can talk with my family and my friends anywhere.

A profit of the technology is the connectivity that the people has with other people, and with the world in general.

I think that without technology in my life, it would be bored.

My Favorite band?

Well, I don' have a favorite band, but I like lots of bands and singers, although I'm not a fan of anyone.

Anyway I'm going to talk about one band that I have known for a long time, but I  listened to it a  little time ago.

This Band is Bon Jovi and my best friend made me listened to it. 

About them, Bon Jovi is a American band of hard rock, their singer is Bon Jovi, the guitarrit is Richie Sambora, the drummer is Tico Torres, the keyboarder is David Bryan and the bass guitarist is Hugh McDonals. 

 I like their songs and their tunes. A lot of their songs are romantic but they sounded cool in rock music.

And the voice of the singer is wonderful and terrific.

My favorite songs of theirs are a lot: Always, Bed of Roses, Never Say Good Bye, Thank You For Loving Me, I'll Be There For You, and other more. And I like one version of the song called Hallelujah very much that they sang on MTV in June 2007.

 I share with you the lyrics of Bed Of Roses...I hope you enjoy it. 

Sitting here wasted and wounded
at this old piano
Trying hard to capture
the moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka
is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
they won't make of me when I'm dead 

 With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
what you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
baby blind love is true

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died

When you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonite I won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses .

 

Me...

Well, my name is Angélica, I was born in Melipilla, but since 2000 I live in Maipú.

I live with my parents and my brothers.

 I'm 19 years old, I study sociology at the University of Chile in second year. 

I like to sleep, eat, take photographs, watch good movies, listen to music, draw and paint. I also like to read, but not the texts that they make me read in the university, just things that I like.  

I love chocolate and coffee. I enjoy being with my friends, walking along the Parque Forestal, going out at night and things like that.  

I have a pet, a dog called  Lía, she is very playful and sometime she bites very strong. She is beautyful and I love her. She make me happy.

This is a little of me.
Bye bye
