Post 7 : Environmental Conflicts

The environmental problems in our country and the world aren’t something new, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the situation in Quintero happens again in the future. I got used to see the streets filled with garbage and dark clouds of pollution in the sky, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t care about it anymore; more than ever I’ve been worrying about the environmental situation of our planet.
What happened in Quintero was a shame, the people complained about the situation and the authorities did nothing to fix it until it was too late, only when the notice about the sick people and dying animals spread over the nation they lowered themselves to do what they are meant to do: protect people and the environment.

Water problems are one of the most worrying conflicts in Chile, not only in Santiago but in cities at the south of the country. Most of the people don’t pay real attention to it, we don’t think about the shortage of water because we think we have plenty of it; there are zones in our country with severe drought, and this people is suffering of not being able to harvest their lands. Not to mention the pollution in the water in other places that has risks of poisoning the people due to the bad sanitary drainage system.

We all know that is the money what moves everything, it is hard to make municipalities act in this cases, mostly because they are not benefited of doing so.

    I can't believe that we keep on choosing the same people to be in charge even when we see what is happening with the environment (and with the entire life)

Post 4: Videogames

Hello again, I’m Trinindad and I’m going to talk about videogames I personally have a special attachment to this topic, since I started playing videogames since I was five. Through all this years I experienced different genres, stories and the feelings they brought to my life. It may sound silly, but they helped me in hard times, they were a new world to discover, that was my escape from the real world. A lot of people told me that I’m very childish because I liked videogames, that they make people violent and are a waste of time. But I think that playing a videogame it’s like reading a book or watching a movie, but you have the control to make your own story, even if the ending is always the same (which doesn’t happen in all videogames), YOU, the player, is the one experiencing all, you empathize with the characters and take decision, things that one doesn’t appreciate in films or books, where you just watch how the characters develop by themselves. Of course, not all the video

Post 2 : The best holidays I've ever had

It’s hard to say wich is my favorite holiday I’ve ever had, since I enjoyed every one of them, but, if I have to chose one, I could say that the trip I made to Melipeuco was the more exiting. I went to Melipeuco with my family and stayed in a little and comfy cottage, it was made by the propietor’s own hands! This little house was at the side of a “Escorial”, we could walk some meters and met those volcanic rocks, but, the bad side of that magnific landscape, was it were the nest of scorpions, and sometimes they got into the house. At night time, the place around the cottage was a void of darkness, there was no light and no sound. The thing I would never forget about that place is that we got a swarm of termites, there were a ton of them, and they had wings, we had a really bad time the first days, but we got the house fumigated and the problem was solved… at least for a couple days "the Escorial" In that trip, we went to Conguillío National Park, but there was a

Post 3 : Movies

Hello again! This time I’m going to talk about my favorite type of films. Usually I'm very open to the topics of books, movies or series and I don't have a favorite of any of them, but I do have a preference when I look for something to watch. Most of the time I go to Sci-fi or Fantasy, I admire how the author is capable to create a whole new world, with its own rules, it's like seeing a totally new shape of expression, seeing how the characters develop in this scenario and learning the laws of this newfound world is something I really enjoy. One of the movies that I enjoyed the most is one called " Kimi no Na wa " ( "Your name"  in English); it’s a Japanese film of fantasy and romance, even if I'm not a real fan of romance, because its full of emotion, and the plot twist really gets you when you least expect. It’s a really cute film, with amazing animation and astonishing art and music.
