The happiest day ever

Who took it- What it shows- When it was taken- Why you like it

Hi everyone again!  today I'm going to show you a special photograph for me, I wish I could show you more than one because it was a really hard desicion choose just one, but anyway here I go.

This picture it was taking by my best friend Ignacio, on 2013, when we was at Ventanas a placed near of Quintero. We have a lot of friend who lives in this beach, so we always go visit them for Easter Holidays. The picture is very special because at the bottom it's written a phrase, it's says "Llamame luego pero sin Ll" it's a word game, in english this can be translated literally like this way:  "Call me soon but without Ll" I know it's doesn't have sense but I will try to explain it. "Llámame luego" means "Call me soon" If you remove de Ll of the word "llámame" (because then says without ll) it will be transforming to the word "ámame" wich it means "Love me", after all that's the message behind this phrase. This kind of poetic quotes on walls are a social expression called "acción poética", on internet you can find a lot of this. I'm a big fan of this kind of demonstration, so when I saw this wall of the photograph I just had become crazy! I ask for a picture but my best friend took it before I was ready, I think thats why this picture it's so amazing because its improvised. Also I have good memories of this photograph, this kind of trips with friends: beach at the morning and bonfires at nights, are really exciting. I will always remember these days, like the happiest days of my life.
Thats all for today, have a nice weekend!

About food places

Write about somewhere you like to eat out or a place you enjoy going to. Say: What it’s called, Where it is, What it serves, What you like to eat there.

When it's about food I'm not very selective, I guess it's because I'm a food lover.
If I had to choose the best place to eat I think my house it's always going to be my number one choice. It's because my mom it's an amazing cook. She can cook anything that you can imagine, like lasagne, different kinds of fish, and also she knows a lot about pastry-making.
Anyway, when it's about food I think the dessert it's my weakness. I really love the sweet things. So when I go out with my best friend we always try to taste differents kinds of ice cream. Our favourite Ice cream shop is this place wich it's near to Plaza de Puente Alto, called "La chilenita". Unfortunately now they only sell Savory Ice Cream, this is really sad not only because the flavours are not so tasty, also the price of the ice cream it's really expensive now.
Another place where I like to go with my friends it's called "Open box" located in subway station "Las mercedes" this is a sort of pub with a great atmosphere, in this place you can eat, a lot of things, suchi, spaghettis and different kinds of ice cream.  When I go I sing karaoke all night long, drink a beer and eat a culinary pizza. Sadly this place it's really expensive, but it's ok if you want to have fun for a night.
Finally I have to say that one of the traditions of my family it's a place called "La Fuente alemana" situaded  in Plaza Italia. Here you can find different types of customary sandwiches, It's the best place if you want to eat a good "lomito italiano" (wich is my favourite one).
Anyway, talking about food wet my appetite, so I guess that's all for today :)

The city where I live.

What you like about the Santiago and why, What you dislike about the city and why, What changes would make the city a better place, What tips you would give to a visitor to the city

I really love to live in Santiago, I born here so I think this city always will be my home. At summer, I spend a lot of time out of the city, Although I really like travel, I  feel like suffocated when I'm not in Santiago for a long time.
What of the most things I love of this city is all the places that you can visited, like parks and bookstores.  You also have a lot of variety if you want to buy something, even if you want to go out at night, you can choose a lot of activities and have a good time.
What I don't like of Santiago it's the transportation of this. Every time I take the subway it's all full and I barely can in, also the public buses sometimes get late, all this it's really stressful.
I think the city it's just a reflex of the public politics, so all the changes that I would like to do to make the city a better place, are related with state improvements. I also think that the city need more green areas.
One of the places I really recommend it's Barrio Lastarria, because of his architecture and his lovely atmosphere.
Finally I think the must important thing of the city where we live is the people that it's around us, like our friends and our family, these special persons make everything better. It's because oh them, that every place that you have visited it's important.
For me, Santiago it always going to be a container of precious moments and memorys.

My favourite website

Hi guys! In the class of today I have to took about Intenet and websites, so thats why I'm going to do:
I really love the internet, I think it's an extraordinary work tool, you can used for everything: if you want to read a book, you can download it on Internet, even if you want to buy something you can do it on  Internet.
I used a lot the Internet, so I'm going to took about all the websites that I usually use. I really like been on Facebook, because I can took with my friends, watch pictures of them and get inform about some gossips jajaja.
Also when I get bored I really love tho watch movies on Netflix, this website it's one of my favourites.
But my favourite number one it's www.frasesdelapelicula.com, just because I love quotes and also I love movies. I discover this website when I was searching a quote of the movie Big Fish. Now everytime after I watch a good movie, I check the quotes of this on that website and it's amazing and inspiring.
Even I though Internet it's really possitive I also think this can be very negative for social relationships and affective bonds. Internet and social networks can damage the communication and the connection on real life.
Finally I can say that Internet can be good but only if you use with responsibility.

A little introduce about myself

I had to create this blog for English class so honestly I don't really know what is this all about. 
What else can I say about me? well, I'm a good reader, I think one of the most extraordinary things of the life it's read a good novel with a cup of tea in your hand. Also I love movies, movies are my personal passion, when I think in my entire life I can see my movies in a chronological order and feel the connection with my past trough them. I enjoy a lot with the travels because I think magical things happen when you take a chance and you do the unexpectedly.
Like I said first I'm studing Social Work, the reason of why I choose these career it's kind of personal, so maybe I will took of this in another occasion.
Also I have a lot of friends and I love to go out with them, make some jokes and laugh really laud.
Anyway, I hope share a lot of life and love with you in this blog so...this is it by now :)
