There is a pleasure in the pathless woods;
There is a rapture on the lonely shore;
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more...
(Lord Byron)

Second Free post: The Chocolate.


   Hello classmates, in this new free post, I’m going to talk about my culprit pleasure: The Chocolate. It is my favourite candy. This delight is very pleasant because the cacao contains Triptófano and Anandamida, a neurotransmitters that they causes in the brain a sensation of happiness.
   This delight has many benefits, it’s not very harmful for the health like was thought before. It helps to the heart because it contains components called flavonoides that they impede the obstruction of arteries, and so they help to avoid infarcts and spills. Also the chocolate helps to remove the depression, because it rises the sensation of pleasure, and it augments the libido in women. The chocolate have a lot of antioxidants, like the ponifenoles, that they prevent the aterosclerosis and the appearance of some cáncer types. The cacao is abundant in minerals, like potassium, phosphorus and magnesium, and this last is the culprit of the female addiction to this candy.
   This food is obtained by mix sugar with pasta of cacao (stuff solid) and butter of caco (stuff greasy). From this basic mix are made the differents types of chocolates, that they depend of proportion between this elements and of their mix or not with other products like the milk and dry fruits.
   Its origin went in the America pre-Columbian, for the Maya civilization, that according to their leyend, the cacao was given for the god Kukulkán, when he finished to creates the humanity. They  cultivated cacao 2500 years ago for make a drink, and it was used like medicine for some discomforts. The Aztecs used the seeds of cacao as money of change. This towns prepared a pasta with chili for to eat solid chocolate. Later, the chocolate arrived to Europe by the conquest to the Aztecs in century 16, in where it was mixed with milk, sugar and vanilla for transform it in the candy that today it’s known.   
   Well, that’s all folks, I see you soon.

Free post: The Music for me.



   Hello classmates, in this free post I wish to talk about the music, specifically to its power, its effect on the humans, and on me. I think that everybody needs hear music for to live, without import the music kind that everyone likes. This idea not only is mine, because now there are some scientific investigations that confirm this fact.
   A movie that I like it, and that it shows the effect of music in ours lifes, is “August Rush”, which is about how the music can join to a family that they were not known, but only with the love sound, they could get.
   Personally, the music for me is like the water, it’s mean that I can live without it, but I don’t be fine. I feel that something is missing me, I’m living not the right way. This is because the music relaxes me and excite me, it makes me smile, it makes me cry. And I feel that some lyrics were made for me.    
   Although I don’t know play a musical instrument now, I wish a lot to learn some day, and I love hear to people that plays piano, violin, and other symphonic instruments. In general, all instrument played in the right way is beautiful for the ears of any person, and like the movie says, that I mentioned above: “The music is in all places, only we must know how listen it”, we can hear the music of the nature, as the wind sound, of a sea wave, of a lake, in a cornfield dancing, in the birds songs, between other.
    Well, that’s all folks, I see you soon.

Latin Americans Stereotypes

   Hello classmates, now I'll talking about the  Latin Americans Stereotypes. An stereotype is a imaginary of a collectivity, that it is based in a characteristic bad generally. I think that for the case of Latin American, exist more stereotypes bad that good, although just I know a few, as for exemple: The chileans are thieves, the peruvians are dirty but they speak right, the colombians are narcos, the brazilians are always happy and horny, the argentinians are arrogant and exaggerated, the venezuelans are pretty.

   I think, that these stereotypes exist because the people unconsciously we classify to other persons, for like this, we can remember them. Specially to Latin American, the most developed countries see us of form negative because we are less advanced than they. But also between us, we see us with grudge, because we are part of a history in common, that maybe it’s the culprit of old quarrels.

   I have never traveled to other countries for I can know exactly how they view us. But of long ago, is knew that Chile have a very bad stereotype, for example, the Europeans view us as thieves. Specially for the relations that now Chile have with some neighbors countries, I think they see us like a haughty, because many they come here to find a best future.

   I think that the stereotypes of different groups of Chileans that exist, are given by their place of proceed, for example, if anybody come from the country, always there is somebody who sees him as fool and coarse. Also exist stereotypes given by the clothes style and the group of friends that anybody have, for example the urbans tribes.   

   Well, that’s all folks, I see you soon.

Cartagena: My favourite bay.


   Hello classmates, now I’ll talk about my favourite beach: Cartagena. This beach is localized in the cove of same name, and it is part of many bays of central litoral of Chile, and for terms political and administrators, it pertain to the Comuna of Cartagena, of the Province of San Antonio, which integrate the fifth region of Valparaíso.
   I don’t go often to this place, but in general, it is the that I have visited with more frecuency since I was kid, in fact, it is the holidays destination that more I remember. However, I go every summer to this bay, which is equivalent to one time for year. And exactly the last time that I visited it, went this summer, in the week second of january.
   When my family and me we arrived there, we stayed in the house of one uncle, dad’s brother. To us we like go in the morning to harbor of San Antonio for to buy fresh fish for the lunch. Later, in the afternoon we down to the beach for sit or sleep over the sand, bathe or at least wash a little the feet in the water. Also we like go to know the other nearby beaches.  
   I love this beach, because it is the nearest to the Santiago city, and for this reason, it is the most economic for to visit. Also I like all the history and cultura that this place have, for exemple, the fact that it pertain to the coastal zone called “The  litoral of poets”, becuase it is the city of Vicente Huidobro.
   Well, that’s all folks, I see you soon.

The first cassette that gave me


Hello little classmates, now I'll talking about the first record of music that I was given, which was a cassette in that point. The fact happened when a day my father suddenly surprise me with a gift, although was not my birthday, which consisted in this cassette, the first album of the band A-TEENS: The ABBA Generation, music group very popular in that time.
This ocurred in the summer of year 2000, I was twelve years old, and with my parents, we lived in the city’s north of Santiago, whereabout in Pudahuel, at the house of my paternal grandmother.
I liked this record, because I remember perfectly than that moment was really glee for me, because I wished so much to have the cassette. I loved the band, I danced all their music videos that showed in the T.V., I knew all the choreography, with every step. Now I don't like the band, but every time that I hear them, inmediatly come to my mind all those beautiful moments that I lived in the puberty.
My favourite hit of the album was the song number one: Mamma mia, just because was the first song that I heard of they, and the which awaked me the feeling of taste for the band.
Also I remember that when they came to Chile, for the Viña’s festival in that year, I wished with my whole heart go to see them, but my economic capacity don't allowed me do it, but if I could see them by the TV. Still I preserve this cassette in a box, as a memory of my youth.
            Well, that’s all folks, I see you soon.
