Free theme: Play video games


Welcome to my blog again, in this time I’ll talk about one of my hobbies: it’s play video games.
In my free time, I do a lot of things, but the most recurrent is lie down in my bed, turn on my computer desktop, select one of my video games, and play it. I love play video games because they are funny to spend my time, most of they have a very good stories or, I play them, because some video games let me play online with my friends or any people of any part of the world.
My favorites games stile are first persons shooters (fps), action games and role playing game (rpg). I like fps because they are very fast, frenetic, direct and they give me an intensive experience of game. The most common type of fps are the military games, some examples are: Battlefield 3 (my favorite fps), Call of duty, Halo or Crysis. The second kind of video games that I like to play , are action games, this type of games are very funny because give us, very interesting stories, good scenes of action, actually most of them have cinematic sequences like action movies. Finally, I like to play rpg because this type of games have very deep stories, we can play many hours in beautiful worlds, we can personalize ours characters ,  we can do secondary missions that extend the life of video game, etc.
One more things, with my friends, we play football games. Our favorite franchise is FIFA games. We got together to play FIFA and we make bet.
This is it. Good bye and thank for read.

my pet


Hello everyone this time I'll speak about pets. Let me start telling you what kind of animal are my favorite pets: it’s the dogs.
When I was young my grandmother had a dog, its name was boby. Boby was a very clever, nice and faithful. I think that my sympathy for dogs was born with my grandmother’s dog.
Speaking about present, now I have two little dogs, actually they aren’t my pets originally they are my sister’s pets, but when she moved to her new house, she left her pets in my house with my mom. The two dogs are female. The older is call Puffy, and the younger is call “Pelusa”.  A very important thing is that Puffy is the mother of Pelusa. Yes, two years ago Puffy had four babies, one died, two was sold and my mom let one in our house: this one was Pelusa. Other important things is that Puffy is, approximately, four years old. Obviously, Pelusa is, approximately, two years old.
Before that this post ends, I need to speak about, one more things:  It’s the cats. Yes, I like cats too. But, no one in my house likes cats. Actually, my mom, my two sisters and my dad don’t like the cats, because they think that the cats are solitary, strange and, the most important quality, treacherous. This is a very strange idea about cats, but my family thinks this.
Good bye and have a good day

How watch a movie


Hello everyone! Today I will write about movies, but I don´t comment any movie in particular. Actually, this post is about “the best environment for watch a movie”. Obviously, this is my opinion and this post isn´t a guide or something like that.   
Well, shoulders to the wheel! The first condition, to watch a movie in a perfect environment, is “to get a big screen”. Yes, the size is very important (speak about movies, you don’t things other things). If you don’t have a big screen, something like 42 inch or more, you can’t see all details that the director’s movies put in it.
The second condition is “to be in a dark room”. If you don’t have a dark room, the light can distract you. In other words, the dark let you concentrate in the screen.
Third: “all about sound”. In this case, two things are very important: 1) to watch a movie in a noiseless room (It’s for can listen to only a movie’s sounds); 2) to have a good sound equipment, obviously it’s let you reproduce the better way the movie’s sounds.
The last condition is “to go for pee”. One of most usual distractions when people watch a movie is to have to stop the movie for to go for pee. Then, to drink few liquid is a very good idea and it’s very recommendable.   
I hope that you enjoyed this post.

The drug of speed: Adderall


In many cities around the world the people live in environments of stress and high demand in theirs works. New York is one of these cities. In an article of Arwa Mahdawi, published on www.guardian.co.uk, the author tells us about of Adderall. It’s a drug that makes possible live in high productivity levels.
“Adderall is the brand name for a cocktail of amphetamines packaged up by big pharma for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) “. It make possible that the Americans “can work harder, faster and longer”.
It’s so effective that some doctors are advocating for give these drugs in kids. These doctors think that Adderall cans help low-income schoolchildren. In words of Doctor Anderson: "We've decided as a society that it's too expensive to modify the kid's environment," he explains. "So we have to modify the kid."
Finally, the article finishes with a critic of author. He says “Adderall, you see, is capitalism's wonder-pill. It optimises your productivity levels, it dulls your personality levels, and it turns you into the closest human approximation there is to a machine.”
I agree with the critic of the author, I think that is ridiculous tray to be a machine. Especially when some people use drugs to work or to studies more and more and more… I hope that this tendency don’t become overcrowded, especially in Chile.

God



My very best vacations were on 2005. This vacation are special to me because they change my life, since then I’m a new man.  



In the summer of 2005, specifically in month of February of this year, I was hanging out with my friends on the “Las cruces” beach. This we were drinking, in particular I had drink a lot of beers, so one of my friends had the “good idea” of “go to swim”. Little time later, we were swimming, it should be clarified that the tide was high. Immediately afterwards, I was swept out to sea by the current. Thank to the lifeguard I’m alive.

How I say recently, since then my life takes a turn. From this day I convert to religion. From this day God enlighten my heart. From this day I realized that the life is not only for party, the life has a meaning. This meaning is love God.



Now I’m a catholic. I go to the mass every Sunday of the year.
Summing up, Thank to a bad experience I could change my life.
Thank for read this. Bye.

Bolivia, Tiahuanaco


Hello teacher and classmates:

Thinking about what country I'd like to visit or live. I notice that I don´t have idea of where I'd like visit. But I’ll make an effort. My first decision is that the selected country must be in South America. Because all those countries are near to Chile. Besides, in most of those countries the people speak Spanish, so the communication with them could be easier.


The Gate of the Sun is a megalithic solid stone arch or gateway constructed by the ancient Tiwanaku culture of Bolivia over 1500 years before the present. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_of_the_Sun)

Well, let me chose a country… I think that I’d like to visit in Bolivia. What I prefer Bolivia? Well, because Bolivia has a many interesting place to know. But, I have only one in mind when I chose Bolivia. This place is Tiahuanaco (Tiwanaku). It’s an archaeological site. This ruins belonged to an Tiwanaku Culture, one of the most important precursors to the Inca Culture (or Inca Empire).  This culture begins approximately between 2000 and 1500 B.C. and finish close to 900 or 100 A.D. 



The pre-columbian ruins are near to the Titicaca Lake, approximately 15km. of distance. Besides, the ruins are 72km. from the city La paz of Perú. If you ask me why I prefer go to Tiwanaku than Machu Picchu. The answer is very simple, because Machu Picchu is too mainstream. Jajajaja Bye-bye

First term

Hi! my name is Miguel. I'm 24 years old and I live in Maipu. I'm a fourth year student of sociology at University of Chile. 


I spend almost all my time studing

In first term I had 7 subject, namely: public policy, investigation workshop, theory V, sociology of comunication, Structure and social action  in Latin America, "investigación acción participante" workshop and english III. One of de good points about the subjects was that the most of them give pratice knowledge. In other words, the subjects of the first term was designed to "make sociology", not to "think the society". This kind of knowledge is very interesting for me, because I 'm a person that enjoy be in action, in movement. So I prefer make things than think the things.
By contrast, one of the bad points of first term was that I don't had enough time to my hobbies like read novels, play videogames, hanging out with my friends, etc. My only one hobby in first term was stay in the campus drinking some beers with my clasemate like Omar.


My only one hobby in first term
