Dalai Lama


I would like to have a date with Dalai Lama, I was always interested in him, and since I was a child I loved his tunics and the tranquility that inspires. I admire him because he is a man who fights for the peace in the world, for example in September 1987 he proposed the Five Point Peace Plan for Tibet as the first step towards a peaceful solution to the worsening situation in Tibet. When I was a child My mom always read me some of the reflections of this holly man. For example about Laws of Nature he said that he deeply believe that human beings are gentle with nature, and he feel that we should not only maintain peaceful and gentle with our fellow human being, also is very important to extend the same kind of attitude to the other alive being, with our natural environment. We should be concerned for our whole environment. So If someday I could talk with him, I would like talk about the relationship between the humans and the environment. I would like to see him in a place without city noises, to hear the sounds of nature like the sea, birds and animals.

BBC WEBPAGE


I loved the BBC webpage, is very interesting and funny. I visited a link where I can complete songs of different singers like Phil Collins, Mariah Carey, and Michael Jackson. Another link that I visited was Grammar and Vocabulary but, these did not like me, I think that it was very bored, because is so slowly download the listening part and also the computers at the university are not the best. But now my favorite part; Quizzes, when I discovered this link, I only play this games all the first part of the class. At the first moment I made Crosswords but it was difficult because only talk about marketing words, that I do not know. Later I played a game that named “WordMaster” where you have to guess the word from the clues to score points, my best pointed was 15.000!!!. Also was a game that was not very funny, but helped to know about the British Isles, the game travel round about them.

My favourite english song



At the moment and every day my favourite english song is Patience of Guns and Roses, because is very romantic and it is very honest. The first time that I listened that song I was in the school, and I loved it from the first chord. The music is very lovely and relaxing, the singer, Axl Rose, in some moments during the song, whistle and makes the song very special. This song identifies me a lot, my boyfriend was living out of Chile during two years, and always he sing me this song. Patience, brought me a lot of goods and bad memories. This is one of few ones unplugged songs of Guns and Roses.

The song talks about a couple that are separated and he said to him that they need is just a little patience and they will be together fine...

“Said, sugar, make it slow, And we come together fine, All we need is just a little patience”. This is my favourite part of the song.


Lyrics
Patience - Guns and Roses
There is no doubt
You're in my heart now
Said, woman, take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow
And we come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
(patience)
Mm, yeah

I sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now
I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love
There's one more thing to consider

Said, woman, take it slow
And things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes
To make it, We won't fake it,
I'll never break it
'cause I can't take it

...little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
need a little patience, yeah
just a little patience, yeah
some more patience, yeah
need some patience, yeah
could use some patience, yeah
gotta have some patience, yeah
all it takes is patience,
just a little patience
is all you need*

I been walkin' the streets at night
just tryin' to get it right
hard to see with so many around
you know I don't like
being stuck in the crowd
and the streets don't change
but baby the name
I ain't got time for the game
'cause I need you
yeah, yeah, but i need you
oo, I need you
whoa, I need you
oo, all this time
(ah)

My favourite place in Chile






I love this place, I have a lot of sweet memories there... Chiloé

When I was five years me and my family moved to this island in the south of Chile, my father said that we would live in the country with a lot of animals, we were very happy.

From the moment that I entered in the ferry that would carry us to the island, I felt the magic that everybody rumor. It´s so incredible beauty, the mix between the forest and the ocean, extremely together, the typical food, and every thing there. But the most important thing there, was the beautiful people that I knew there. My best friends are “chilotes”, the short history of my life was made there and now that I´m studying Geography this experience is very valuable. Me and me friends every summer go to different place in the island. For example this summer we were in Cucao, a place in the southwest of Chiloe, there we went to the “Moonfest”, a party that celebrate the first full moon of February. Was a lot of people a lot of them tourists, it was funny. All people singing at the moonlight. Few days later we went to San Pedro´s river, a very lovely place, very quiet and sunny. We had fruits, juices, and cakes, was a fantastic day.

From 2005 I lived once again in Santiago, we moved here because I finish the school and I have to go to University. But every holidays I go to Chiloe, and I will never get tired of going.
