POST 6: HOW GREEN ARE YOU?

There are  many place where people should learn to be kind to the environment but the main one must be your HOME, in my parents house when I was a child, my father used to built eco-bricks, we filled plastic bottles with papers and then we used concret to créate the bricks… One time we participated in a local school fair...

Today I can proudly say I belong to an EcoFamily, we recicle every  organic material, we have a machine to make compost,  giving to us by the Mayors enviroment office, whit it we can get organic soils for our gardens.

I currently live in a flat at the city of Santiago, and try to recycle plastic, tetra packs and glass botles, but sometime i forgot to take this ítems to the Green points …but there is something I never forget to do… I trie to use less Plastic is I can. Whenever you go everybody have the intention to give you a Plastic Bag and I refuse to this desire, just try to carry my shopping ítems in my back pack or in my hands, this is my personal action, seeking for a healthy planet… 

i`d like to believe many more will avoid the use of Plastic Bags…Wohooooo¡¡¡¡

In the future when I earn money, the first activity in My ToDo List is going to be: 1) Register myself in a enviromental organization and donate money regularly to support educational activities. And of course I Invite You to participate and become a Planet Lover¡¡¡ as I ¡¡¡

POST 5: VIDEO GAMES

I was Interested in video games when i was like 12 years old…in those years I played several games, including Pac-Man, The Watcher and Robocop…I was a total fanatic, but Today 4me the video games are a complete waste of my precios time…We have actually a thousands of different ways to acces to a computer entertainment, like social networks: Facebook and Twitte. Sincerely I preffer to connect myself with people alive, and know their lifes, watching their potos or visit other countries Reading their travel reviews. 

I feel respect for people who likes and enjoy vieo games, everyone have their interest ;)…Like my brother who wasted a lot of time playing Warcraft, monopolizing the computer at home and no one else can use the laptop Lol… I think computer games could be use productively if the engineers in charge of create the softwares,may design in Chile educational games, like a healthy food game, a platform created in the U.K or the sciences Lab game. 

In Chile we could create games who develop the history of their ancient cultures. Now we have high tech to make more interactive games and therefore more attractive. in this 21 century time, many companies are using and selling units like Portable Play Station (PSP), this units can be loaded with more educational games looking for improve cognitive habilities…just and Idea…Thank U

The Peruvian paleontologist Rodolfo Salas, said about the fin “Now we can say that the most important primitive sea mammal deposit in south america is at Ocucaje”, The ocucaje site is dating back from 10 to 12 millions years.

The Whale`s remains are the oldest ever found in South America, the skull resembles that of  a wolf or crocodile and  may help researchers understand the link between modern whales and their ancestors. find such a large and complete specimen including cranial and pòst cranial remainds is uncommon, because in a marine enviroment the bones are usually scavenged and altered by diagenetic procces.

Having the vertebrae, the ribs, the flipper bones. It will give us a more complete picture of what these animals looked like. The paleontologist explain to de Newspapper.

POST II: A COUNTRY I`D LIKE TO VISIT

....I would like to go to Madagascar, it is an island in the indian ocean

in front of Mozambique it´s the biggest island of Africa. In the past

this island was attached to the continent and then because of the

movement of tectonic plates, was separated from the mainland. This

isolation from the rest of the big continent, make this place a

conservatory for exotic species of animals and plants, because of the

“bottle neck” genetic effect…

I love the Monkeys… specially Lemurs (remember the king in the Disney

movie Madagascar) and in Madagascar you could find more than a hundred

of different Lemur´s species…if a have the chance to go there, I would

love to see and play with lemurs, also take photos of Baobabs, visit

caves or just take some of the different  hike routes around the

island, and if a have the chance… I will do some scubadiving too. One of my

desires will be…have the chance to stayed there, for at least a year

and looking for a job as a volunteer in the center of wildlife,

working helping animals…hope you can join me in this adventurer

POST 3: JAPANESE ANIMATION

The Word Anime (アニメ) belongs to the Japanese style of animation, and identifies the Cartoon movies from japan, it´s a product of public commercial entertainment, the traditional Anime is hand draw, but actually the most of the movies are designed by computers. The Anime followers around the world are in expansion because this technologic manner of making cartoons is directed to all audiences. Among the physic characteristic of the characters are:   The eyes size, there tiny noses and mouth, and the sinuous hair.

My first  Anime Japanese movie is “The Howl’s Moving Castle”, it´s originally a fantastic novel, published by the British Diana Wynne Jones in 1986 and in 2004 re-created as a movie Anime film by Hayao Miyazaki. The aspects of Anime do I like most it´s how the characters have real emotions and real problems. Because of the Anime I’m now interested in a different area of the Japanese culture the area of the comics call Manga.

My second Japanese Anime favorite movie is “The Chihiro Journey” from the same director of “The Howl’s Moving Castle”, this second movie is a winner of the Best Animation Movie Oscar Award.

Ive recommend you all the Japanese Anime movies especially my favorite two…see you again soon 

Music, Music, I Love Music¡¡¡

Music is one of the greatest things that human been has create….in my life “The Music” has always been present, my parents are musicians and my great grandfather too… my uncle told me a history the other day…when I was a baby if a cry one of my relatives start to play music, and I immediately stop crying and  start to smile…I like all sorts of music, but especially the world music, romantic and  reggae from Jamaica… the styles of music that I really dislike are those who use stupid topics in their letters, and the authors just compose them to gain money .

I enjoy listen music in my house, at the bus, in the street everywhere jajaja...But I also  adore going to concerts…the only problem is  you have to pay the entrance rates (It sucks)  this month I have planning to go here in Chilito  to the VIVO REGGAE CONCERT the 25th of may… I went to the 2012 version and had an wonderful time there… If I were a song I’ll probably be a Reggae Song.

I have in my agenda for this year learn how to play accordion, and I already star  my lessons downloading videos from the internet, who teach you  how to play this instrument, I have a very good voice (subjective comment jajaja ) and I can compose and sing songs with my accordion… Music, Music, I Love Music… the world without music… is like a world without a joy.

See ya all keep da faya burning¡¡¡
