The last post



Oh the last post ...  time passed so so fast, I can’t believe it.
Today I'm going to tell you about something I like to do, and it's reading, I'm always reading something new and I'm currently reading a very good book, it's called "dead souls" and it's about Chichikov, a gentleman of middle class and social position. Chichikov arrives in a small town and quickly, despite his limited funds, shows an ostentation of wealth and power, which will help him gain the contacts and influences he will need for his plan; his strange and mysterious plan: acquire dead souls.
Chichikov's mission to acquire dead souls is a complicated plot to inflate his social position. He hopes to collect the legal property rights of the dead servants to inflate their apparent wealth and power.
Once he acquires enough souls of the dead, the central government, according to the number of "servants" he has, will award him lands with what he will retire to a farm and will obtain a huge loan for them, getting the acquisition of the great wealth he wanted.
Chichikov thinks that the ignorant provincials will be more than willing to give their "dead souls" in exchange for a symbolic payment.
Cleverly manages to acquire some 400 souls and returns to the city to legally register transactions. He is treated like a prince among the officials and townspeople and a celebration is held in honor of his purchases. However, Nozdriov and the greedy Koróbochka will complicate the situation.
It's really a great story, but I will not tell you more to encourage you to read this book.
Fraternal greetings friends

3. Winter is here

Oh, is so difficult come back to class, and have all the things about the university in a short short period of time, seems like is going to be stressful and chaotic, and in effect is going to be like that in so many times, but we have to start this end of semester with motivation and disposition. We can do it classmates, in other ways we are going to collapse and we don’t want that. But there is something so beautiful happening right now, that I love it, I have always done it, and that’s the winter, ¡yay! I’m a hundred percent winter person, I love cold air, I love snow, I love snowballs fights and there’s something that I absolutely love more of this season, and that is the food. I grow up in a little town close to The Andes, and obviously is incredible cold so, warm food and warm drinks are essential to survive. I always remember my last year of high school because with my classmates we decided to save money to buy an electric kettle, brilliant idea. And I think there’s anot...

1. Egypt

One of the many countries that I would like to visit is Egypt, since I was a little girl I dreamed about how this people build that pyramids only with their bodies and minds and how perfect they are. I’m in love about their history; they have some of the earliest developments of writing, paintings, urbanization, agriculture, etc. It’s always interesting to me read about myths and legends of Egyptian goddess. If I go there I definitely visit the valley of kings to see the tomb of Twosret and Setnakht, the pyramids of Giza and the temple of Abu Simbel to see the statues of Ramesses. I would like to study and live there for a couple of years; their culture and their religion are things that blow my mind, I think I can learn so much about their custom through the people, I mean the essence of the country is the people who lives there, and how they lives their life’s. And is always better learn about things doing those things.

5. Please don't stop the music

Hi! Today I’m going to talk about music. The other day I was telling to a friend that music is so important in my life, I walk with music, I take my showers with music, I cook with music, I basically do all the things with music, except sleep. I think music have the power to express so many feelings that sometimes we don’t feel comfort to express, to ourselves and to other people. So music as an expression of what the people feels, is like history, an emotional history. When we think about other decades like 80’s or 70’s we always think in their music, and if we pay attention to the lyrics we are going to hear about topics and events of that period of time, just as there are rhythms specific for each decade. That’s why I don’t like commercial music because I really believe that music have to express feelings, ideas or political positioning of the people that live in that decade. For example, I love to listen music about 80’s in Chile groups like Sol y lluvia, Quilapayún, Inti-Ill...
