How green i am? Super Green!

Nowdays in a world full of polution, the actitude that you must have is about to watch your steps and minimize the contamination of your enviroment. you can learn more about this in (example).

Personaly one of the way that i contribute to enviroment pollution is riding a bike instead of use the public transportation or cars, another good way is recycling, you can recycle glass, wood, some metals, etc. and help on saving threes and the unnecesary waste of raw materials.

In spite of having an ecological actitude i believe that eco-organisations not necesary feeds the ecological needs, for the contrary they profit in the name of nature and doesn't do too much about it (example), with a few exeptions of course(example).

Live your lives in a healthy and balance way, always try to minimize your impact in the nature and live in a joyfull actitude.

Miners

It all began when a group of miners where working in the San José mine. Suddenly the mine colapsed and the miners got trapped. At first people thought that they where dead, but 17 days later the miners send a message trought a hole that was made during the search operations, it says "we are fine at the shelter all 33", All kinds of rescue companies arrived to the place, even the NASA! they worked very hard and finally all miners where rescued, but it was sixtynine days suffering experience.

I hate the way that media and publicity has turned this tragic events, making them into pure marketing. As if that were not enought, the nationals chanels made some kind of "reality show" when they where rescued.

None of this events had happened if the the goberment had payed attention on supervising the mines and monitor the working conditions that are minimal to ensure a safe work.

This is the price that people has to pay due to payoffs that mining coorporations and enterprices do with the local goberments and administration. According to Sernagiomin studies, the 70% of mining in Chile should be closed becose the working places does not fulfill the minimal conditions that mining requires.

A traggedy indeed, i think this kind of things shouldn't happen , but injustice exists everywhere.

Movies!

Hello there!

Today we are going to talk about a recently made film called Robin Hood, this movie was released on 14th May 2010 on the USA, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Russell Crowe as "Robin Longstride" the film basicaly is a dramatization of the famous leyend of Robin Hood in the 13th century.

It begins with the history of an archer of the Richard the Lionheart's army attacking a french castle called Chalus Castle, it's a fierous battle and it ends when Ricard the Lionheart drops dead. The archer (Robin Longstride) goes along with a group of friends who have scaped from the struggle. They decide to go back home to England. There Robin will met his destiny in a place called Nottingham, and another adventure will begin.

I watched this movie last weekend and I think it's a very entertaining one, because it has a lot knights in the old style wars, it has very funny scenes, conspiracy and betrayal as well. It's like the typicall story of the dark times, nevertheless it's fascinating, the sound effects are amazing, the costumes are beatufull, full of details, the photography is quite truthful and the music characterized the old knight times.

If you would like to become a knight, sharpen your swords and prepare yourselves to watch Robin Hood.

The country i'd like to visit.

England, England, England. For two particular reasons.

Professionally and Traveling

Why professionally? Because i think is the best country to improve my clarinet technique and to learn important things about the music that unfortunately i can't get them from here.

And Traveling because if you go to any country on europe you can go anywhere you want, because transportation is easy and the places are quite nerby from each other.

Honestly i don't know many things about european countries, that's why i want to go so badly, to discover the unknow. I would like visit Germany, Spain, Italy, etc.

The next year i'll be working on contestables founds and scholarships to study and live there and if possible work, but i'll try to go with enought money so being there won't become a problem, i think i'll be hard to be away from your beloved ones but, it's a path that you have to walk thought so yo can become a better person and professional.

Anyway dreaming is free, but acomplish your dreams, that's the best thing you can do.

Greetings.
Víctor.

Best and Worst

Hey again, here i'm writing about my last semester.

I would say that my experience in this las semester was great in professional terms, in love not soo much.

I think the most important thing was playing with the Chamber Orchestra of Chile, that was an exellent experience, i learned a lot of things related to music of couse, it was challenging because i played with professional musicians and i worked very hard.

Another good thing is that my family bussines grew a lot, we now have a place to work, very nice, al last we finish the legal issues that didn't allow us to work completely, so we started to sell our educative products to schools, institudes and hopefully we will recovering the initial investment at the end of October.

But life has a balance, is not everything about work or money, and for that reason i broke up with my girlfriend, because i hadn't got time for her, I spended all day, practicing, studying, working and performing so i arrived late at night with no strenght left to visit her. and finally the relationship faded as the time passes by.

However, i think it will be a time when love comes, and i won't have to work that much.

Greetings.
Víctor.

Presentation

Hey there, i'm Víctor Manuel an student from the Universidad of Chile and i'm writing my first blog.

I've have discovered the english program, and it was great because i needed to practice and improve my english. so here i'm trying to write my presentation.

I'm from Chile, Santiago, i'm 21 and i love music, so at the age of fifteen i entered to the music career.

It was really hard at the beggining, because i didn't know anything about music, but things become easier when you study and practice a lot. I had a lot of courses not only related to music, but to arts, sports, teaching, and now english.

On the other hand, i'm a computer nerd, i spend my free time, playing a lot of computer games, i've an online community and we play together on the internet. however i nevel let games interferes with my professional or my student life.

Another thing i love to do is cycling, i go everywhere in my bike, it's very good because it keeps me fit otherwise i'll be a one houndred kilos person.

To end this presentation i would say that stuying a music career it's not that easy, but i realy enjoy it, being a musician is a difficult job, it requieres a lot of patience and dedication, sometimes you feel great about it, and others not soo much. Anyway i think it is the best choice i've ever made.

Greetings.
Víctor.
