BLOG 4: " My Weird Collection"

Hi! Today I'm going to show you the most amazing collection that you ever see.

Like a little intro to the topic, I should tell you that I enjoy animated series, movies and I love the geek culture. I also like the Collectable Figures so, as may you expect, when I met the Funko Pop brand I felt in loveee.

They make figures inspired in the bobbleheads but cutest and they have a long catalog of characters.

Before I start, I should add that this hobby is with my brother who also contributed to this collection.

Our first figure of the collection was a FAKE FUNKO, yes, as you read, we got a fake funko. It was a gift for my brother for his birthday and now, seeing it, you can definitely see that this funko is different.

Since this moment the memories are distorted and I don't remember what funko came next so I will show you the collection that my brother made.

And this is my collection! which is a smaller collection but together is everything that we want.

Summer Stitch is my lastest funko and it was a gift for my birthday. It's my favorite and has a sweet smell, like strawberry

I also have two more little figures; they're cute keychains and they're put in my littles backpacks. 

I hope you enjoyed reading this blog and let me know which funko pop is your favorite. Bye!

BLOG 3: "The Chemistry Against Cruelty"

 

Hi! As may you know I study chemistry and I´m in my fourth semester. Chemistry is the science that studies the composition of matter and the proprieties in its interaction, the resulting products, and the application of these properties in the life of man as such.

Of interest for chemists are the properties of the compounds, their reactivity and their use in fields such as biochemistry, pharmacology, the cosmetics industry, the food industry, materials chemistry, petrochemicals, engineering, among others.

One of the reasons why I study chemistry is for try to make a change in the cosmetics industry and avoid animal experimentation.

Animal experimentation as the name says consists of testing the products on the animals alive to see their reactions.

Animal tests are being replaced in areas such as toxicity tests, neuroscience and drug development: in exchange for torturing animals, it can be tested with human cells. In this sense, human cells have begun to be used to create innovatively devices called "organs in chips", these can be used in place of animals to study possible human reactions.

I believe that one day the change will be made, and I hope that I could help in that change.

BLOG 2: "The Best Concert I've Ever Been To"

 

Hi! I have always enjoyed the music and been a fan of a lot of artist and bands, my favorite band is Linkin Park.

Linkin Park is a rock band formed in 1996 in California. Their most famous songs are “In The End”, “Numb”, “New Divide”, “What I’ve Done” and “Crawling”.

I have been fan for fourteen years -I’m twenty-two now- and my dream was see them live. When I was eleven, they came to Chile, but my parents didn’t give my permission to go to the concert cause I was little. In 2016 they announced a new world tour and they visited Chile for the second time. This was my moment and I bought the tickets exactly in the moment that they released them.

The concert was the 21^ts May of 2017 and it was all that I was dream. I went with my brother, who is a fan of the band too and we cry at the begging of the concert. We sang every song and enjoyed every minute.

I remember that when they sang my favorite song called “Waiting for the end” I cried cause I always dreamed to listened in live and in the concert before of Chile, they didn’t sang it so it was a surprised

In 2017, a month after the concert in Chile, Chester Bennington, the vocalist, committed suicide.

I hope you give it a chance to the band and listen a few songs, they´re really good.

BLOG 1:"My Favorite Country"

Hi! In this blog, I´m going to tell you about my favorite country. 

My favorite country is Iceland, it's an island located in the North Atlantic Ocean. The capital named Reykjavik is also the largest city in the country. It has a polar climate and it's cold almost all year. Iceland is one of the safest countries in the world. 

One of the reasons why I would visit Iceland is the polar lights that you can see with no-problem from August to April, it’s a fabulous scene of nature. I think is a show that you must see before you died.  

Another attractive that I would like to see is the geology of the land, Iceland has a lot of volcanos and geyser, in fact, there is located the oldest known geyser in the world! Imagine that! 

I would love to live there! either studying or working, live in Europe is one of my dreams and I hope one day write this blog from there.

BLOG 10: "Evaluation of Your Blogging Experience"

Hi classmates and teacher! Today is the last blog and I'm going to evaluate what this process meant.

I generally like English a lot and how it can help you create new skills to develop personally and professionally, but also, I’m not really good writing in English I prefer to speak. That’s why I like the activity to write a blog.

I enjoy written about a new topic every class I feel that now I can write better in this language, but I think that sometimes the topic was boring and not interesting, so it was very difficult to write about it.

I would like that for the next semester the teachers consider the opinion of the students to select the topics of the blogs. The other thing that I would like it’s created a vlog (a blog but in a video) but with the topic of our careers!

I would have loved to write about my favorite games, books, food, and cities! Also, I remember a class that we discuss a national problem and that would very interesting for a blog and it would help to be more aware of what is happening in the country.

This is the end of the blog, bye!

BLOG 9: "Movies and Series"

Hi! Today we’re going to talk about movies and series, I have a lot of adored movies, every movie that I see for me is the best<3 but I’ll present you the craziest movie! “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” even the name is wired!

So, this movie is from 2004 and is listed as romantic science-fiction comedy-drama film (wow, try saying that fast), was directed by Michel Gondry and starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. At first when I saw that the protagonist is Jim Carrey, I thought it would be a bad movie or that I would try to be a comedy movie by all means but I was pleasantly surprised when the movie stars to be a crazy and complicated movie.

Did you ever want to forget someone? A person that you loved very much and would rather forget to live with pain and sadness. That's what the movie is about after an important romance one of the protagonists forget the other and it’s a mess…

I like this movie because of the history and the way of telling the events and how easily you can feel identified with the characters.

I hope you see it!

"How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot!

The world forgetting, by the world forgot.

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! 

Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d."

 

BLOG 8: "A Subject I Enjoy Studying This Semester"

I love chemistry (that's why I'm studying it) so easily I might write about the class of "General Chemistry 1” but believe it or not, the subject I enjoy studying this semester was "introduction to calculus I”

In this class, we study the calculus of real numbers and functions and techniques of analysis. With two class per week, this is the subject that most problems bring to the students! In addition to the class we have homework and "laboratories" in this last activity we must solve a problem with basic pc programs.

This semester we study real numbers, functions, trigonometry, limits and linearization, topics that we must know for the next semester and help in the scientific analysis of a process.

I like this subject because it’s interesting and a challenge! I like the teachers, the content of the subject and how can you relate it to the basic sciences as you learn more tools for analysis and development of each area.

I know it is a little wired that someone enjoys “calculus” but I think that it’s something basic that everybody must know.
