English

I think english es very important for everybody, especially when you travel around the world or when you need a new job and english is neccesary to understand the job (and the people around). Actually, english is the main language in the world... In Europe all people speak english, in fact, in Corea, Japan and China english is very important to make new deals business. I think the english in this university is very good. I don't speak english perfect but I can understand a lot in comparation to my first grade. English is so hard for me but I'll try to be better in this course. The blog helped me to write better and the topics are very nice... Write in english was cool. I need to improved my pronunciation, sometimes I speak like a monkey. In the future, I hope to travel to Europe and improved my english speaking with people in this place. My father gave me the option to take a course in a "English's institute", probably I'll take it the next year :) Maybe I'll use english outside in my vacation. I'll go to south to Chile and many people speak in english. Other way to use english is when I listen music... I can understand the lyrics and this is amazing =)

2013: GOOD Y BAD POINTS.

Today I'll talk about my 2013... In general this years was a little bad for me... Maybe is a little negative from me to say that but is my appreciation... For example, this year I couldn't work in anything because I had no time for any activities...No work, no money and this is very bad. My parents give me money but that money is for the University (for example: papers, books, copybooks...)not for my personal things...in the past, I could work so I bought clothes, make up, shoes and other stuff but now, I can't buy my favorite things :( University is very strict this year... I haven't had time to make other things and this makes me so sad... Last month I took Tango classes (is a type of dance from Argentina, if you don't know what "Tango" is) but I can't go all Mondays because I have too much homework in the week :( ... But my marks are very nice, this is good. The positive aspect is my boyfriend. He is very sweet and he makes me feel better. He has a good job and sometimes we can go to restorants or we can go shopping together =* He's the best part of my 2013 because he's a good man... I'm a lucky girl. My friends are the best. I have few friends but they are the best people. This year I couldn't travel but the next year I hope to travel to Europe, especially to London. I have yet to finish my tango classes =)

Frederick Nietszche, a excellent writer.

When i was a child, I read many books about fantasy and fairy tales, I was a typical disney's girl. But, when I enter to College to study to be journalist, I started to get interested in other type of books, like philosophy ones. That's how I fell in love with Frederick Nietszche, a important 20th century German philosopher.... for me he is a genious (A bit fo crazy but a genious) I like his works about philosophy because he can make me think in other things about this world. He can make me see the world in differents ways. He speaks about the cosmos, the people, the truth, the death, the liberty and other things about this world... I really think he's one of the most important human in years.... He can see the world totally differently. When he was alive, he couldn't show people his thinking because they thought he was insane or a crazy man, but with the time, people could understand him and take this philosophy's way and use in their lives. In the past, people couldn't understand other way (and I think nowadays too)... I read 3 books of Nietszche: - The Antichrist (Der Antichrist, Fluch auf das Christentum) - Beyond Good and Evil (Jenseits von Gut und Böse. Vorspiel einer Philosophie der Zukunft) - Also Sprach Zarathustra If you really want change your life and open your mind you MUST read about it.... you really will love that's philosophy.

My friends =)

Today I'll talk about my best friends. My friends are one of the most important things in my world... without them my life would be boring. I really love them, they can make me happy everytime. When I feel sad, they have just word for making me feel better... I don't have one best friend... All my friends have different characteristics that's make them special in differents moments. When I'm sad, I always speak to Constanza because she's very understanding and she always has right word for me. She gives me good advice. My other friend es Catalina... she's cold and calculating but inside, she's very sweet with me and Coni. She has other way to see the world and she brings me back to reality. Lucía (probably my best friend in this moment) is a great person. She always have time for me and she gives me good advice when I'm sad or misunderstood. I met Coni, Cata and Lucía in my first year in University (University of Chile) and was love at first sight. We're very different... Coni is so cute and sweet person, and look like a normal girl. Catalina is rude and look like a violent girl (She's sweet, I promise!)... and lucía look like a normal person... her personality is very similar to way to dress. We can see movies, speak about everything, drink, smoke and cook. We can make everything together.... they are the best. Besides, we can do amazing homeworks for differents asignatures. We're a great team.

My english sucks but I'll try to be better. * Bueno xD *Thanks for Listen to me.

The Guardian: Harry Potter's book Back!

http://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/sep/12/harry-potter-jk-rowling-fantastic-beasts-film 


Today I'll talk about the new work of J.K.Rowling, the british writter of Harry Potter's books.

"The Guardian" a british newspaper -very famous for the case "Wikileaks" on 2010- published that news the last month, september 13 exactly. I'm a big fan of J.K Rowling, I think she's the most important writter in the world. -Ok, not but I think that when I was a child and I'm sure many people think same to me-

In this news, J.K Rowling declare -with Warner Bros Studios- a new project about Harry Potter's world based on "Fantastic beasts and where to find them", the first- year textbook that Potter uses at Hogwarts (The School of magic) in Harry Potter's world. 

J.K Rowling assure never would publish anymore about Harry Potter but this new movie -Yes, is a new movie about "Fantastic Beast and where to fin them" (Yay!) - would be the last work about that fantastic world. 

Many people think J-K Rowlind don't want to write or make a new project based in magic because she want make a new job. She does not want Harry Potter's books are all her writing in heer life. 

Warner Bros and J.K Rowling hope the new project will be a success. They know very fans of Harry Potter's books (Now, fans with 20 years old or more in many cases) waiting for an excellent job. But on the latest movies, they have proved faithful to the books... 

I hope new news about that project... ¡¡I'm so excited!! 

My Passion: Cameras

I love my Canon EOS REBEL T2i. This is a professional camera and is my greatest possession in the world (My iPhone and my Macbook pro too, because I bought this thing with my sacrifice). I got it last year, after working for 2 years to have it. It arrived on my 21st birthday when my dad gave me the money I needed.
When I bought the camera the price was 1.200 dollars...!
It was love at first sight when I had the camera in my hands.
At first I didn't use it, cause I didn't even understand how to use it. I love photography since I was 10 years old, when my aunt gave me a barbie analog camera (I will always remember that moment in my life). From that moment I knew I wanted to take pictures about the people I love or admire. Studying journalism helped me to get there. I love it and I feel I could do it for the rest of my days...
The last week I bought a new phone. It's a iPhone and the camera it's amazing! Sometimes get out with a expensive camera is dangerous for thief... :( and when I go out alone with my camera, I'm very scary all the time. When my boyfriend came to me to take pictures, I can use my expensive camera... meanwhile, I use my phone :)
I adore watching the world with other eyes and feel the world in another perspective... mainly the old buildings in Santiago. My favorite place to take pictures is Cementery or the center of Santiago because that's buildings are very beautiful...

This is a picture I took with my camera... This is a church in Santa Isabell called "Santísimo Sacramento"

Tea time!

Today I'll speak about my favorite activity recently: Tea (Yes, tea...)

When I was a little girl -maybe 6 or 7 years old- my grandmother gave me a cup of black tea... That was the first time I fell in love for a cup of tea *Insert heart here*

Now, I'm learning more about different types of tea. My favorite type is fruits tea, mainly red fruits tea (strawberry, raspberry...and others). As for trademarks, I prefer to buy Lipton, Whittard (But it is very expensive) and Akhbar. The last one is wonderful...is inexpensive (maybe 5 dollars for a big box) and have a lot of types.

Lately, Akhbar changed my life. Maybe it sounds excessive but when you are a fan of something, you can appreciate this kind of discovery (Yaaaay!)

I drink tea with my friends. Sometimes, we organize Tea parties (Like a Mary Antonniette's movie) with a dress code and wearing dresses like dolls. This is very fun! Sometimes we mix tea with vodka :) (Other reason to love cold tea)


She is Emilie Autumn, a singer. In her concerts, she drink tea with other girls meanwhile sing. She is one of my inspiration when I organize a Tea Party with my girl friends... I really love her clothes. 

Japan

It's very difficult to select one country I could go. Sometimes, I want go to Japan, because I really like Japanese culture... When I say "Japanese culture" I think in food (For example, the popular sushi and other types of food with fish and exotic animals), anime/manga (comics and TV programs about love, action and other stuff's) and religion (Buddhism is very interesting). They have beautiful traditions and celebrations... sometimes, girls wear kimonos (a traditional way to dress) like geisha and dance for celebrate (I really love kimonos...and I hope I can wear a kimono someday). The new year party is most popular event... very people go to Japanese's temples and leave prayers for gods...(Buddhism believe in many gods).

When I'll go to Japan I hope I can visit temples, eat different food, buy manga (Yay!), visit Hiroshima and maybe, visit the fashion street... I say "maybe" because Japan is very expensive...  :( My priority is know the country, no buy things.

I don't want study there because I don't know anything about the language... Japanese is very difficult to learn because they used different words and letters.

(Kimono, traditional way to dress in Japan... is very old)

(New Year in Japan, the most important event in this country. All people celebrate the new day)

(Sushi... the most popular japanese's food) 

About my career

Well, in the last post I wrote about my career and about my favorite things about Journalist. Today, I'll talk about what I want to do in the future. 

My ideal job would be to work in TV. Not like famous people, probably behind the scene. I want to make new programs about entertainment or cultural. I only need opportunities and imagination...and maybe I need to stay a  long time in a channel. 

I would be very good at this job because I can listen to different opinions and I would do great programs. I know what the people need after the job and maybe I could give them entertainment or cultural programs. 

The most important difficult is enter in TV. My country doesn't have many chanels to choose... and If you don't like one channel, you only have 4 or 5 channels to choose.

Me

My name is Valentina Burgos, but my friends call me Vale. I'm in four grade of Journalism and I really love my career. When people ask me about what I love about Journalism, I say "I really love writing about the social problems and working on TV".
Many journalists (And people, in general) believe the Television's journalism sucks. When I was working on TV, I said "Wow, TV is amazing... I'll get a job here!" And well, I hope the next year I'll have the posibility to work on TV. The industry of entertainment is a very very important area, because you have the chance to make something good for people. People need something to watch after the horrible day and I can make this possible.

In my free time, I spent my time with my boyfriend watching series and movies. We really love movies. My boyfriend loves Comics and Superheroes, he gives me comics and I read comics about superheroes and other stuffs (Walking Dead, for example). We love food... it's very ironic because we're so skinny :)
When we have money, we go to Restorants and try different food. Japanese food and Italian food is our favorite.
I go shopping with my mom and with my best friend. I deeply love shoes ... and I hope (When I get a job) I can have a lot of shoes and heels!

The last semester the most difficult problem was no having money. In third grade of journalism I had a very good work in Chilevision and I got a lot of money... but now, I don't have a Job and my life is difficult.
