Post 10: "Evaluation of your Blogging Experience"

Hi!

Can’t believe this is the last one! (Is it really? I’m not really sure haha, let´s pretend like it is).

So, to make a quit review I actually believe this has been a great experience, I must admitted I didn’t expected that, it is great to have this kind of surprises, while I was writing I actually felt like those classics girls on movies that are bloggers hahaha, and also the topics that we worked on really helped me to be able to know better to my classmates.

In general I do believe that my writing skills have developed but I believe that maybe the topics that we worked on were too common, with that I mean that the language we used it was ordinary, which it is very good, but I think that for me personally it is more necessary to work with a more specific language (so that is what I would like to include), anyway I think this has been a great way to practice my EnglishJ.

If I have to give a new topic to write about I would probably say something related to specific areas of our knowledge, but also how we see ourselves in, I don´t know, maybe fifteen years?, I think that would be interesting.

Love, Gaby. 

Post 9: "My Favorite Music."

Helloooo Classmates

Like always, hope you’re having a great day, so, today topic I must admitted I totally love it, the kind of music that I like is essentially rock music, alternative, funk, some hardcore, latin rock, punk and mostly those kind of genders, why I like it is a hard question, I guess that you just feel it, not really think in the process of listening to music, anyway I believe that music it is a powerful weapon to transmit a message, a good message to this world and I think that that is essentially the reason why I like this kind of music, because it motivates me every day J.

 I actually started in this kind of music when I was about 13 years with Paramore haha, and, like I said this topic is reeeeallly a great one for me because going to concerts it is one of my favorites things to do in the whole world haha, I have gone to every Lollapalooza since 2012, also to every “Frontera festival “, and seen the killers, los fabulosos cadillacs, a day to remember, fall out boy, franz ferdinand, blur, pearl jam, imagine dragons, paramore, arctic monkeys, silvio rodriguez, manuel garcia, ed sheeran, ska-p, the great rolling stones and my all-time favorite band rise against alive in concerts of their own (and of course I also love going to little concerts called “tocatas” every time that I can).

I think that it is pretty obvious how much importance music has in my life giving the fact that aaaall the money that I manage to collected goes straight to tickets for concerts haha.

That is all for today.

Love, Gaby. 

Post 8: " Your favorite Book"

So hello everyone, hope you’re having a great day.

Today the topic that I must talk about it is books, so this is awesome haha.

The first book that I actually read by myself (you know, not those books that our mamas force us to read haha) was “Matilda” of Roald Dahl (the little girl that it is way too smart and that has powers) I remember that I was grounded without tv haha and all I could do was reading that book, from that point I never stopped reading books just because I like them.

To be honest I have soooooo many favorite authors, seriously for every topic I have one different haha, for that same reason I like to read lots of kinds of books from romantic ones (were Jane Austen is just perfect haha), passing to fictional ones (J.K. Rowling, Rick Riordan, Suzanne Collins), historical ones (Gabriel Salazar, Galeano and those), but if I have to choose only one book that I have to carry always it will probably be the one in the picture, the name is “Sofia’s world”, a novel that guides a young woman to the search of her identity through philosophy.

Sadly right now all the things that I’m reading are related to college.

Love, Gaby.

Post 7: An Expert on your Field

The woman you are seeing in the picture above it is one of the most important women in the history of our country, probably you do not know her because sadly the history is told by those in power and that hasn’t being our gender clearly, anyway her name is Elena Caffarena Morice.

Born in 1903 and passed away in 2003 she was a layer, jurist and politician that dedicated her life to fight for the working class and the feminist emancipation.

She enter to our university, the University of Chile, in 1921 to study what in that time was called “Law School” and received her lawyer tittle in 1926, in that period of time she was able to meet the great Luis Emilio Recabarren, who encourage her to persuade her interest in the fight for equal rights. She was the main founder of the movement pro-emancipation of women in Chile.

I believe that with all that I have said it is really clear why I like her so much, and why she is one of my main female models, she is one of my inspirations to study this career, women like her motivates me to persuade my feminist fight.

Love, Gaby.

Post 6: "Tv shows and Series"

My all time favorite serie is without a doubt "Game of Thrones" it is just the most incredible tv show that has ever been done haha, and I'm not kidding just last year in the "Emmy Awards", the awards that recognize excellence in the television industry, the serie won twelve prizes, marking a historic number that has never happened before.
How can I explain why I like it so much? It is easy, because it includes all possible issues in the whole world haha. It is defined as a fantasy drama serie that has as main topic the fight between differents familys for the iron throne of the seven kingdoms (if you give your self the pleasure to watch you will understand much better), but the topics don't end there, it includes love stories, political discussions, very complex characters, revenge stories, it shows the power of religions, and so many other story lines that everyone must watch it, it is like the "Star Wars" of our generation.
In general I like all kinds of series from comedy series (especially "The big bang theory), to science series (like "Cosmos"), and of course drama series like GOT, I actually spend a looooot of my free time watching series. For that same reason there is way to many series that I want to watch that I haven't been able to do it, just as an example there is Dexter.
Thats all for today, love
Gaby.

Post 5: "A photograph you like"

Hello classmates
The picture above it is a picture from last year and it is actually a very important photograph for me, the ones in it are my classmates fellows from high school, and we are all in custumes just because we wanted to haha, the reason why it is so important for me it is because they are not only one of my favourite persons in the whole world, but because I known most of them since I was 5 years old, so I have been able to create a great and strong bond with most of them and now that we have all been force to walk to differents directions I realise how much important they are to me, but not only that, the person who took that photo it is also a very important person for me, it was my history teacher from that school who has recently past away and I can't tell you how much that has afected me, giving the fact that we were very closed, he was those kinds of teacher that just stays in your memorys forever, those kinds of teacher that not just teach you the content of their subjects but how to be a better person, how to make this world a better place, if it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't be here right now.
So for all the things I said before and because it reminds me of those great and easy times of high school I just can't help to like the photo (and just in case you haven't been able to recognise me I am the one in the middle with the costume of the feminist girl of the poster of "we can do it").
Love to you all
Gaby.

Post 4: "My Favourite Movie"

Hello classmates

I hope you're having a great day, today I wanted to talk to you about the movie you´re seeing in the picture above, this movie, called "V for Vendetta" it is probably (because I like all kinds of movies haha) my favourite one. Why? 'cause it is a true, hard and direct movie about love, inspiration, injustice, but most importantly about fighthing for freedom, for what we believe it's right, for not letting the power overcome us. 

The first time I saw it was 2011 when I was in high school in the middle of a "strike of the building" haha very similar to what happens in our University, and with a group of fellows we decided to watch it. 

In general terms I like all kind of movies, from love movies to science fiction (especially superheroes movies haha). 

If I'm not wrong the last movie that I saw was "Colonia" the movie about Colonia Dignidad during the dictatorship of Pinochet. It actually was a veeery very good movie, I was expecting a little bit more of "political issues" but anyway it was a great movie, I hope you can all watch it.

To end this post just say that you should all try to see "V for Vendetta" and "Colonia", here I let to you all a piece of a very important part of V.

Remember, remember

The fifth of November,

The gunpowder treason and plot

I know of no reason

Why the gunpowder treason 

Should ever be forgot!

Love

Gaby.
