Music

The sound of music.
Well, about music… I really like the rock in a whole, but my favourites kinds of music are: (electric) Blues and Death Metal, two kinds very diferents apparently. But both share somethings points, like the electric guitars, the simple melody but with much expertly and talent, and the emotivy lyrics and melodies. My favourites band or singer, in this case, are: in Blues, I like Fleetwood Mac, an old britanic band of 1969 to 1971. They have maked two or three almbums with song very populars, like “Black Magic Woman” by Peter Green (past member). Fletwood Mac are active still, but with others members and now a kind of music is very different . My favourite Singer blues is Buddy Guy, an american and black musician very expertly in play the guitar. In the death metal, my favorite band called “Obituary”. Many people say that the metal are noise, and bad noise, but I think the opposite. Obituary, in the death metal are different in a bit, because the voice of the vocals member isn´t gutural, but more clear and humanly.


I like these bands and singles because those kinds of music make me feel very good. Their are so moving that I can say these songs are the most exciter that I have listened.
I got all the discography of Obituary, but no every I have bought. Similar with Buddy Guy and Fleetwood Mac, many CDs I have downloaded its online, expecially the blues, because somethings bands are very old and is a lot of difficult to find them.
The last year, I can saw my favourite band: Obituary were in Chile in april 28th. It Was amazing! Firts, I couldn´t went to see them, because I asked permission to my mother months ago, she said “NOT”. But, the same day before the recital, I called to my mom and we talked about that. She was worried for me, because in the recital I had to be careful (I went alone). Finally, I could went and I was very happy.


In general, the music I like very much, but I don`t play any instrument. Never I have learned something. I woud like to learn the electric gruitar, are fantastic the melodies that you could do. I hope so I can play the guitar some day. I will try play my favourite blues song. The music is very important in my life, it left me of the study and the problems,the music keep me company when I study, it change me the day and cheer me up.

Cinema!

Of course, I like the cinema, but it´s been ages that I don´t go it.

May be that my last movie watched in the cinema was “Volver”, by Pedro Almodovar, but was in 2007! Now I remember that I went, the last year, to Viña del Mar and together with a old friend we went to a festival of short films and documentary in the municipal Theatre. That time we watched “Malta con huevo”, a chilean film very nice and funny.

In a whole, I`m not fans of cinema or Films, I am lazy for sit and watch a film.

Sometimes, a partner mine shares hers Films with me, but I take a long time in return it. My sister is filmlover, but never watch Films together. One time, a few months later, I gave to my sister a trilogy Films. Its are “Three colours: Blue, White and Red”. But only we watched the first, “blue”. Those Films I don´t have rented, but I copied its.

My favorite film is “Forrest Gump”, an american movie of 1994. This movie is about the nice and beauty Forrest`s life, a man while not intelligent but accidentally he has been present at many historic moments, like Vietnam war, Hippie revolution, the murder of Kennedy and Martin Luther King, among others. Forrest had a exceptional life. When he was a child, he used to walk whit crutch, but he could left it, and run very fast for a long time (is famous the phrase "Run, Forest, Run", he never will leaves of run). Forrest went to university, he won ping-pong competitions, he traveled to China, He went to the war and back, he makes a guinness records after ran for days, months and years...and always he is helpful with everybody.
This story is lovely, I really like this movie and I watched like five times yet.

Good points in this movie may be the places, the historic moments that Forrest live and theirs are very important in the second half of last century in the world. Also, the music of Forrest Gump was created for this movie and appear too famous song of bands like CCR, The Doors, Jimi hendrix Experience, Canned Heat, Fletwood Mac, and among others. I like very much this bands.


I recommend this movie because, even thought is a fictitious story, is near of the reality. It show the real life of a simple man living in the hard real world . This story is the most beautiful, more lovely and you will cry many times along the movie.

I will watch it again and again...

What to do /Where to go in Santiago?




Im not from, Santiago. I was born and bred in Rancagua. When I finish the secundary school, I could come here because I began to study in the university. Really, I knowed Santiago, but for a bit, because when i was 10 years, I came here with my mother to visit the dentist, but in that travels arround Santiago, I didn´t learn to take the bus or the underground, I was a child and very unconcerned of the city.
I arrived to Santiago in 2006, a year before transantiago, and I can say that I saw the city trough the yellows buses. In the big santiago, you can kwon new places taking a bus, that is my form to see it. If you want see beautiful old town whit old and classic architectures and streets, you would go to centre Santiago. Between matucana and 5-sur avenues, is the old Santiago centre. If you begun in matucana, you can visit the quinta normal park, or the museums over there. Santo Domingo is the most beautiful street, because is coblesstone in a whole, you can go walking, it´s great!. Then, you arrives the Yungay square, a typicall park in this neighborhood. If you want following walk, you see the Brazil neighborhood, whit the famous park, beautifull places to walk. Next the park, you can eating good plates or drinks in the night. Other places that offer lovely streets you can discover in providencia, Ñuñoa, etc. In Santiago you could visit their parks, but , in a whole, the parks are no good impeccable. The typicals parks are Quinta Normal, O´higgins park, and the Forestal Park. This last, is very beautifull and lovely, it`s near the Mapocho river and you can visit the Beauty Arts Museum. Next there, walking to alameda, you would see the lastarria neighborhood, beauty places and restorants, but more expensives for a student like me. If you walking to north, you will see the San Cristobal hill, and the neighborhood Bellavista, ideal for a drinks whit friends after the work/school. The two places that you must visit are: the Peace square, a beauty place next the General Cemetery, and the Franklin neighborhood, typical and old places with shop and restorants very cheap, but you must take care whit the people. In a whole, Santiago can be a beautyfull and quiet, but you must take care always.
