My experiencie using a blog.

First, I had some repulse to use a blog, because I think I did´t have nothing good to say; also, when I have one good idea, or I need say something, publishing it´s not the way to express that. So, I arrived with a prejudice to this activity.

But then, when I started to write about the activities, I think that is a good exercise to learn to express in written form some assessment about general topics of my life, and what I think about different situations. This is important for my learning process because compels me to think in English, and form a phrase with these notion.

However, I think that it would be more productive to write about topics that are in order, or in the same line with the topics that we talk in class. Por example, in some classes we talked about gender and stereotypes, and then, in the blog, we had  to write about music, or something else. So, I think that the topics should be more coherence.

In the future I think that I will not use my blog, because I use facebook a lot, and I did not like the format of blogger, but I will see, perhaps later, when the time walk against me, getting old and nostalgic, I will open this blog and I will remember my goods years (228).

About Education.

Education is an axial topic today because it is understood that is essential for developing a healthy community and society nexus. For this reason are those social struggles, in some way or another, exploite when social movements emerge.

For this reason this subject has been rethought again, and the value that we're offering up as a society: has been thought in the role of the teacher, as well as his salary; should be higher considering the enormous work done by comparison with others who earn more, and socially have the same value as the master. Also, about the quality of education considering it is very important to remove the eyes of the economics that drive education in Chile (touching on topics such as profit, for example), and fixing them on the issues on the development and student learning, and their relationship with the teacher, considering tools to strengthening these link (as might be to integrate audio-visual material that students can manipulate).

Finally, when I think of the word education think the full development of human beings and to route you in the world of culture in which he lives (189)

J-O Waldner (1965-)

This is my hero !!! Jan Ove Waldner it´s a good tenis table player. No. I lie. He´s the best table tennis player of all the times according to most of people who play this sport. This guy is Swedish, and begun to play table tennis when he was 6 years; then, he was Swedish selected when he was a teenager. He was the first to accomplish a complete game in all of the lines of the table, he made a game very versatile an attractive. For these reason he is admired for the Chinese players, an icon for the European players.

I admire these guy because I have never seen another player play like J-O. And seriously I doubt I could see any time someone play like him; he was a World Champion in five times, European Champion in seven times, Champion of the World Cup in two times, Champion of the Olympic Games (participating in five times) and seven times top 12 European Champion.

But, beyond the titles, I see J-O in videos when I started playing Table Tennis, and he was my example of game and tactics.

That´s my song.

I think I haven´t a favorite song. I could have favorite singers, or favorite bands of music. For example, I love so much Silvio Rodríguez, Víctor Jara, y Violeta Parra. I love so much the "Trova", witch a type of music what I love so much. Also, the classic music is too great for me. Authors like Bach, or Mahler, or Beethoven are so great and so important in music in general. But with the musical work, the piece or oeuvre it´s different to me, because the songs are like my friends which ones are "my favorites friends". I can't do that; with the songs I have a relationship, a deal. So, for me, makes no sense make a ranking with my "musical friends".

In this sense, I think there's a song that always challenges me, and always excites me because it takes an important part of my life. This song was written by John Newton, and is called "Amazing Grace", and begins:

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind, but now I see.

For the Christian people this song is a lifestyle, and report how God saved us of our sins, and how the Lord cares for us only by grace.

The Corpus Delicti

The picture you are seeing brings me good memories. In it I can see all the intimacy, and the dynamics that I had in the middle room with my teammates. If you are careful, you will see that many friends are cheating, other very concentrated (like me) and others posing for the picture.

This image was collected while we took a PSU test at the Andrés Bello University, where the preuniversitario was.

For when we were starting to take the test, a photographer came to the door, and asked the teacher if he could take a picture. He accepted. And we, as we knew he would take a photo, we stayed quiet for a while, carefully, watching our tests. But the cameraman did not take any photo at first. Then, before the relaxation, we began to be how we really were. Began to cheat, talk, etc, and then, right there, the photographer ¡PUM! He took the picture.

These was in 2009, and brings back fond memories of fellowship and jokes, and football games at break time, and I did not notice the immense panorama that would come forward: the University, and one life, every day, without my classmates.

About my favorite film.

Since I can remember, until today, I love movies. And I like all kinds: drama, suspense, and so on. Despite that, I've noticed that instead of preferring certain kind, I have come to the conclusion that art can play in any type of movie; I have good memories of action movies, as good times in comedy films.

It could mean that my favorite director is Ingmar Bergman. Ever since I saw "The Last Seal", I was delighted. Since then I have searched for more films of him, and I liked them all, without exception –even though I have not seem them all-. Also, I consider that Tarantino has really good movies too.

I think I have not identified with any film character, and none has inspired me, but there are many that have impacted me, and I still remember them. An example of that would be The Death in The Seventh Seal.

Lately I have not seen movies because I have no time, and I think the last movie I saw was Pulp Fiction, which I recommend for its great dialogue, and for being a classic film.

My Favorite Piece of Technology.

What´s my favorite piece of technology? Mmm. This question is very hard to answer, because in the modern life it´s very important to know how to live in a technological life. The technological object is now part of us. The technology is the axis of our daily life. So, to me, the question of my favorite piece of technology means how I live, and what I use this instrument to live.

Therefore, when I think in this topic, one object shocks my mind: Mi Notebook. Why? Because all my lectures, all my books, all my channels in which I communicate with my friends, or my work´s partners (like Facebook, or my e-mail) are in my Notebook (when I have access to Internet, of course).

My notebook was a gift from my grandmother, because she was thinking that for a college student is too necessary to have one. And she gave me one. In this time, however, I thought it was unnecessary, but with the time, I understood it so useful!

Well, I use my notebook when I study, when I talk with my friends and, until I discovered what I could download many films and books, almost all day I´m glued to the screen (for that last reason I like so much my Notebook!) These are the reasons why I use my notebook every day and, I think now, it would be so hard to me to live without this object, because, practically, would be out of the academic life (the supply of the most works in the college are on-line, for example) and my life would have another time. Another rhythm. It would be interesting make the exercise of living without My Notebook to see if I am using this object, or if this object is using me.

My Biography.

My name is Felipe Díaz. I was born in Santiago in a glorious year for my country ¿Why? Because I 2 was born. Of course: 1992 (It´s a joke. I´m not so Narcissism to write this seriously) I´m the first child of my parents, and I have a little sister.

In high school I studied in Instituto Nacional, and I graduated in the 2009. After that, I managed to get into Universidad de Chile, in the PAB (Programa Académico de Bachillerato, in Spanish) where I was two years. This place was very important for me because I grew so much. When I entered in Bachillerato I had no idea what to study. But with time and a lot of readings, I could find my career: Psychology. 

So, in 2011 I graduated on Bachillerato, and in this year I could take classes in Facso until today. Also, in Bachillerato I learned so much about very different interesting topics, like Literature. So, since 2011 I attended literature classes with the same teacher I had in Bachillerato. I’m also a Christian, and I studied theology in a center of theological studies, in my church.

Since I was a child (eight years) I play table tennis, and play guitar in the church. These are two of my favorites hobbies. I also love spending my time talking with my friends and brothers.
