If I Were...

Last night, I was thinking about my life. I think that is normal, and sometimes a little boring. But, my dream since I was on primary is to be a singer! I love singing, I’ve been singing almost during my nineteen years of life. One of the persons that is my inspiration for sing is my favorite singer, Taylor Swift, so…If I Were a Singer like her?

The singers, like the actors, writers and many people that are under the public opinion, are too normal persons. They go to the supermarket, to the cinema, do the dishes and others activities that for us are common, but for they are like a moment to take a breath. So, if I were a singer, I would try to keep my life in the right way. I don’t like the famous people who have forgotten their beginnings. Taylor still being the same girl of Nashville: Normal, good friend, simple.

A normal celebrity could travel around the world many times, because they have the money to do it. Also, they could spend their millions of dollars in jewelry, cars, houses, pieces of art or anything that they want, but a few famous prefer spend their time in charity. If I were a famous person, I would create a foundation where adolescents who had experienced bullying, could find help. As many singers, Taylor was a victim of the bullying and in her songs, she reflected all her feelings and all her pain. In my case, I was a victim of bullying too. The music is the best therapy that I could find; write poems, songs are like a catharsis and it’s an habit that I keep until today.

However, I think that the fun part of being singer, and particularly in the case of Taylor, is write songs about important people of our live. I wrote a song about the first guy who broke my heart when I was sixteen, the same case than Tay. She wrote a song about her ex-boyfriend, Joe Jonas, called “Forever and Always” and when I listened it for the first time, I thought that It was one of my dreams listen in the radio the song that I wrote in the past. If I were like her, I would write a special song for the most important people in my life. Some of those songs would be written for “ a select group of people” who make me feel bad in the past. I’m not thinking in write all my songs about revenge or pain, things like that. Write a song to my mother, my father and my best friends could be a great experience.

If I were a teen singer, I would be close with my fans. The connection of the artist with the fans is incredible. If I were she, I would so close than her with her fans. She has a way to communicate with her fans that not all the famous have. Write this blog about her of “If I Were Her” was very fun. I think if all the celebrities were like her, they would be more loved by their fans. The humility and just be simple are the keys!

A weird summer situation.

When I was a little girl, I used to be a typical child of my age. I enjoyed watching Disney movies, playing with my neighbors in the street, etc. I never believed in the Supernatural things, just in Papa Noel and the Easter Bunny, but in ghosts, vampires, werewolves and things like that, never.

But then, when I grew up, I “opened my eyes” and I became to believe in ghost, because I believe in ghost until today. One day, when I was in a trip with my classmates in Villarrica, we wanted to play something fun and different. One of my friends suggested “The Ouija” and all of us said “Yes! It’s just a game”. For me, was a common and inoffensive game, because I never believed in "games" with "supernatural powers" . My friend found a piece of wood and then she drew all the numbers and letters that those board has. We were five friends in the cabin and the clock said that it was after two o’clock. I was nervous, I didn’t know the reason, it could be that I was tired, or just needed a cigar. Katherine, my friend, began with the game, she called any spirit in the cabin, laughing. All though that It was just an innocent game, but a weird sound scared us. We let it go and keep playing, but an annoying sound did that we screamed at the same time. Definitely, that’s was not normal, something weird was behind this game. My friends stopped with the game and just came back to their cabins. I was sleeping in the same room with Katherine and María Jesus. We wanted to sleep because the last day had been exhausting, but when we turn off the lamp, something strange happened. The lamp began blink, but we just turned it off! I though a lot of things, my classmates was playing with us, doing an horrible and not fun joke, or the ghost really exist and we have a spirit in the house, because we heard a child crying. We went to see what happened,and there was absolutely nobody. If it was another joke of our friends, we had noticed more than a laugh, but nothing. When all the articles that I read on internet about ghost, I was beginning to believe that ghost really existed. That night nothing was happen and after a long conversation, we fell asleep. The next day when we were having breakfast, I told my friends about all the things that I though while trying to fall asleep. They think the same than me, until today.

For us, it was one of the strangest situations that we have lived. THIS STORY IS REAL, but I wrote just the central idea. All the details (a lot of details) only a few people know. Since that day, I have respect with games like the Ouija. I know that spirits are around us. As a person, I made a promise: Never again play such games. It’s sound like a book or something supernatural, but at least, I know two things: The first is that this really happened and is not a figment of my imagination. The second, the ghosts REALLY exist.

Cheating

In this opportunity, I’m going to write about an interesting theme, CHEATING.
But, what is cheating? Well, is just a lie, but not a lie whit a good purpose, is with an unknown purpose or with a bad intention. Things like play in a casino and save an additional die is an act of cheating (but is more common in the movies that in real life)
But, I want to write my blog with a special case, the cheating in the studies. Many times, when we are busy, with a lot of things to study, or just stressed and we remember that we have a pending homework, the only way for do that homework, is copy and past something that we saw in Google, and our assignment for an act of magic is almost ready. In the high school is very common. I think that ALL OF US did it cheating, but at the university is not allowed.
Sometimes we don’t dimension the damage that we do to “steal” a homework, or just a paragraph for a book. Technically, the cheating is a crime, and the people who steal something (in this case, a book or a phrase that other person wrote in the past and take ownership of it) should be punished, but in many case, it doesn’t pass over.
When I was on high school, many times I take over something of Google, but it was just on little assignment, or those who gave us an overnight. When I had to do a job for Biology or Spanish, and they gave us the time necessary, I always tried to do my work by myself, with my own language and my own knowledge. It doesn’t have sense just copy and past A BLOG like this. Our blogs must be like a confessionary, where we have the possibility of express our opinion about a theme. If we take over a text from another person and just past the lines in our blog, we are thinking like the other, like the author of the text…and without realizing, losing our identity! By the same, I prefer to write bad, whit a lot of spelling mistakes, but write by myself! If I have an error, my teachers can help me. I like that they know that I’m not a student who missing her time watching T.V or hanging out with friends. My homework is first, the social life is secondary.
I enjoyed writing this blog. This theme is interesting and sometimes the students like me, do not take the necessary importance. The cheating is something common in our century and pretty hard to take out, but If the student do their homework with time, with effort…the cheating will be thing of the past.

Healthy Life!

The summer is coming, the People are going out to the park, or working out, or just eating healthy food. However, we need to know, that the healthy habits ARE NOT exist just for the summer, but also for the whole year.

But if we want to have a healthy life, we don’t need just eating healthy or working out. The Stress is a normal illness of our century. When we have a lot of work to do, or we must study for the university, our brain, and of course our body, just wants for a little rest. The stress can be prevented just being more organized, not leaving everything for the day before and thinking that the life is ONE, and we need living our live without little problems.

The people in this month (October) like to working out. The park or the gym, are good options. If we don’t want to spend a lot of money in a gym, just doing things like walking the dog or cleaning the house, our body is working, and of course, burning calories. A lot of persons (my case) don’t like too much the exercise, for the same, I prefer to do the housework instead of going to the gym.

I’m forgetting a very important point, the NUTRITION. The nutrition is, in my opinion, the habit most important and the most difficult to acquire. Eating healthy doesn’t mean that we must just eat Lettuce and drinking water, means eating balanced. Sometimes, for our welfare, we should prefer some grilled chicken and salad. The problem, in the case of Chile, is that the people prefer eating fried food, Bread, cakes and drinks with a lot of sugar. The habit of eating fast food has been present in our country, since not to much time. This habit is normal in the U.S, but it is strange that in a country with a lot of natural recurs, we don’t eat healthy. The main reason of this, is that sometimes we don’t have enough time to eating or cooking, therefore resorted to the most easier, cheaper and faster.

But another very important thing, and we are not doing well, is sleeping. We need at least eight hours of sleep. If we don’t sleep those eight hours, our body don’t function properly, we cannot concentrate and participle more active in our studies or work.

A healthy life is not just boring habits. We could find a way to do things beneficial to our mind and body. Working out NOT just in spring and summer, eating balanced (fruits, vegetables, meat, carbohydrates and lipids in moderate quantities), sleeping eight hours and enjoying the life to avoid the stress, are just four facts for a good life.

Flowers, trees, allergies, love and depression = SPRING!

As we know, the spring is one of the most beautiful stations of the year. The flowers cover with their color all the parks, the trees grow up and sprout new leaves, the weather is nice –There are more sunny days and we take off our jackets- The days are longer and the best (for this side of the hemisphere) is that the arrival of the spring is synonymous of just a few months for the ending of the year!

But, not all is good in this station. The allergies affect many people, they are very annoying. We can’t breathe; we should take some drugs, specially done for the allergies called “Antihistamines”. But this is NOT the “most important” theme of this text.

The love is in the air, like the pollen. A lot of couples like to go out to the park or just go for a walk around the city. But some couples, kissing each other and they don’t show shyness. Sometimes, for the singles, it could be a little uncomfortable. In my case, I see all the time couples kissing each other, and I think “They should look for a bedroom or something more private” Is not too cute seeing a boy and a girl kissing with fury! Especially if they are just teenagers.

The Depression is very common in these months. Why? For a lot of personal problems or they are just afraid of the word “Love” this is my case. I think I’m not the only one with this problem, all the people, at least once, have felt like this. In the adolescence is something common, but when you are an adult, It could be seen as something strange, even a serious psychiatric illness.

In the news, some years ago, the journalists talked about a suicide: A man took to the subway line and died, of course. After the research, the police say that the man had a strong depression and he wanted to kill himself since a lot of time, because he lost his work and fought with his wife. But why in spring and not in other station? The answer is simple: the people get more sentimental just for look the other persons more happy or relaxed, and the reaction of a sad person, may be unexpected. For jealously, most of the time.

But we must remember that the spring is beautiful, we should enjoy the life and not just thinking in bad things, and of course, not finish our lives with hasty decision.

Happy Birthday Chile :D

This September, like all the years, on 18th, is the birthday of our country. But, this is one of the most important, Why? Simple. It’s 200 years since the first national governing board. BUT, this is not our anniversary of the independence of Chile, we celebrate this day because that governing board was THE FIRST that we did like a “Free Nation”
September 18, is for a Chilean, an important day. We show all our patriotism. In all the schools, the children and the adolescent doing works related Chile, they learn how to dance “Cueca” and enjoy things like a barbecue or typical foods of the country.
In across the country, the people celebrate like different ways this day. A patriotism person enjoy the day with the family in a “Fonda” or playing typical games like “Emboque”, “Rayuela” or rising a Kite with the soft wind of the spring. Also watching the “rodeo” or riding a horse. But, for that we should be very Chileans.
But, for me is not a BIG celebration. Before my grandmother died, It was an important day, because exactly on September 18, it was her birthday and two days after, on September 20, the birthday of my grandfather. We enjoyed a good time with my cousins and all my family on September, but the things are not the same right now.
I think this is an important year, not just for celebrate, or eat or drink alcohol or something like that. We need be more united. This has not been a good year for the country. On February 27, a big earthquake destroyed the central part of Chile, now the miners trapped in the mine in Copiapo. The most important, or the thing more valuable that the Chilean have, is the solidarity, but is not enough, we need more unity to overcome all that we have passed.
We need to go back to our roots. We must know why we celebrate this day and not February 12, the original day of the independence of Chile. Our roots should be very important in our life, and should know how we can keep that.

Happy Birthday Chile!!!!! :D :D

Winter Holidays!

Hi, today I will write about my Winter holidays, was an incredible experience.
In the first week, the only thing I did was sleeping, singing and reading. I finished reading “Breaking Dawn” one of my favorite books. Then, I wrote some chapters of my Fan Fiction of “Jonas Brothers” That is my favorite hobbie. I cooked chocolate cookies with my best friends too and we watched TV and movies like “Carlitos Way” and “Across the Universe”
Also, I found out some information about the Jonas Brothers concert. I’m going to see them in November 2th, is one of my biggest dreams. First, they are my favorite band, and second, I worked in “Natura” since the last year, just for win some money for the ticket. My holidays was amazing by the way…but I ran from one side to another, just for my beloved ticket.

But, my Holidays, wasn’t just that. I went to Curicó the second week, with my classmates/friends Daniela, María José, Fabiana, Silvana, Diego and Jose. It was an incredible day. We laugh a lot and ate delicious things at the mall. We drove bumpers cars in “Happyland” and then we enjoyed a beautiful day walking by the street. But, the most funny moment was in the “Alameda” playing with a swing. I love the swing, It is my favorite thing that I could find in a Plaza. We did a competition between Daniela and I, she won, but I did a good job. Then, we climbed the “Cerro Condell” ok…I’m not that we climbed that hill, but we left with strong legs hahahaha.

My Holidays was amazing, in all the senses. I relaxed, and I think I’m ready for back to the real word, for the study, for the night that I can’t sleep and all that.

Hope you like it
Regards
Angela.

Fifa Wold Cup 2010!

Hi!!

In this blog, I will talk about the World cup! I must confess that I don't like the football, but my dad loves this sport (It's common in men) He talks all the day about football, the chilean selection, and his favorite team 'Universidad de Chile'.

I will have to bear all this month, but now...I'm starting to like. I like the environment of the world cup...especially the songs "Waka Waka" and "Freedom" I'm so obsessed with that songs...I sing in the car, in my bedroom in the living too hahaha.

Also, I think that my patriotism has grown. I feel so proud when I see a Chilean flag on the TV or when I hear the National Anthem sung by the players while they have his hand on his heart. It's an emotional moment. When I saw Jorge Valdivia almost crying...in that moment...value my country, and since that day, I love more Chile.

The fashion of the world cup it's interesting. I've seen on TV a lot of people of diferent countries with strange and peculiar clothes and traditions. The 'Vuvuzelas' in South Africa has been a particular thing there. The people of Dinamarca drink Beer in the stadium...the Chileans are very crazys hahah but...as soon as, this world cup ends, everything will return to normal.


It's all
Hope you like it!!

Strange places to live

Hi!

Today, I will write about a strange place to live. In my head, I have a lot of ideas of a futuristic house, or a floating loft...but definitely, my choice is a house in a tree.

When I was a child, all the times I watched my favorite caricature, "Hey Arnold" I dreamed of having a house in a tree. There could hang out with my friends, play with dolls or just talk about our Toys.

But now, I'm Nineteen...and I'm Keeping that dream, with some modifications of course. I would like to have a little house in a big tree, with a little yellow couch...a coffee table and a green lamp. A lot of images of my favorites famous and a little refigerator to have yogurt, milk and Coca cola. Also, It's must to have water to live without getting out of my house.

This house built especially for live many days without leave, and enjoy it. Would be little but beautifully decorated. It should have light, my laptop, water and bathroom. It's almost impossible to have all that in a house It's be 5 meters of the floor, but...this is a strage place to live, in another "world" For the same, I think that it's possible.

I would spend my moments of relax there...It would be only mine, my place, my little world.


I hope you like my blog. It's was very funny topic to do!

Shopping!!!!

This is one of my favorite activities. I love go to shopping with my mom and my best friends.
I believe that this activity is good to talk with friends, buying nice things, etc.
In the past, my parents bought me everything I wanted, But now, work, and I buy my things,I love going to the Mall when I go to Santiago. My favorite place to go is "Eurocentro" and "Dos Caracoles" There always find cool stuff like T-Shirts of my favorite bands, belts, posters, things like piercing, makeup exclusive etc.

In department stores, I buy shirts, pants, pajamas, Converses and things of daily use. But also, I buy a lot of Make Up! Almost every week me buy something new. With what money I have left of the week, I buy lip glosses, eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow, etc. I think that thanks to makeup we can experiment with a different style every day, and that's cool.
My other obsessions are buying CD's and books. I love to go to the "Feria del Disco" and see if the CD's of my favorite bands, and if I have money of course, I buy them ... they are a treasure for me.

When I go to the library is great. There are always books that interest me, and although they are expensive, I prefer to save money and buy in the future. Also in my favorite bookstore "Byblos" could be read sitting at the tables were close, so expect the order of coffee or cake.


Hope yoo like it!!!
Regards.

A perfect Mexican dinner

Well, in the Blog of this weekend, I going to talk about the place where I like to eat out. Mmm…first, I don’t have a favorite restaurant or something else, but my favorite food is the Mexican, for the same, I love any place where cooked “Tacos” or “Guacamole” and of course, Tequila!
Ok…I will talk about the place. I don’t have a “Favorite” Restaurant of Mexican food, but the place where I will eat, should be nice…with beautiful decorations of Mexico…the colors of the flag or things like that. The food should be good, of course…I love the tacos with a lot of Chile! And the Tamales too. But…on the other hand, I love the romantics places, and a Restaurant of Mexican food isn’t a good place to talk more relaxing hahahaha.
About the company…I have my doubts. I don’t have a boyfriend, but (this dinner is just product of my imagination) could be with my impossible love; my favorite singer, Nick Jonas.
In the real life, could be my best friend, He’s a kind of brother for me, and I think a dinner with him, will be a funny evening. All the times we went to the cinema, the disco, etc, We laugh a lot and had a good time. I think the same would happen with the Dinner.

Well, i hope you like it my blog of this weekend :)
Best Regards.

Dates? Love?

Hello!

Well, I will be honest. I DO NOT have experiences in the topic of love or dates. By the way...I've never had a boyfriend. I think that is because I'm still a girl, act like a girl and sometimes I think like a girl. Still can't find it a priority in my life ... I want to study, make good grades and with a boyfriend, I'm going to distract me from my purpose.

It's strange, but almost always I suggest that my friends about love, I...the most experienced in the subject (I say sarcastically) And what I say is always right! haha. It is because I think always i think with the "head" or "brain" and not with the "heart"

But...I cried for a boy, many times. My mother always told me ... "It is better to be the last love that the first" and that made me feel better ... and tell myself "One day will come your chance to be happy"

I do not feel very comfortable when I see couples kissing ... that, I think they should have their privacy ... Okay ... show the world that are happy, but ... for something, exist the rooms hahahahahah!!

It's all!!! hope you like it my "cronic" about love...

Goodbye!

College

Hello! Today I will talk about my life in college. I hope you like!

It all began on April 5. On my first day of school did not know anyone. Some of my classemates knew by Facebook photos. I think because of this, I spoke with many classmates. Some of them even today, are the closest.

What I like about the University, is the tranquility. My favorite place is the little lawn in front of the "Aula Magna" is a beautiful place where the leaves fall in autumn and the weather is perfect. Every day after lunch, with my colleagues, we are going to sit there.

I have a group of classmates with I spent most of the day. Their names are: Antonieta, Jose, Paula, Silvana, Fabiana, Catalina, Bastian and Sergio. The girls are very nice and even though we know recently, and we are forming a friendship. The guys are very nice too, though, for obvious things, there is no confidence yet.

When we are in classes, always sit together. In the classes in the room "Multimedial" I am almost always against the wall. In other classes, always with the girls in the group and we talk before class begins.

In general, I enjoy a lot in college. It's really Funny and Nice

Well, that's all:)
