Ted.com


I looked ted.com and saw the video of Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity? And I think, yes they kill the creativity.And I agree with his ideas about the extraordinary evidence of human creativity, we made planes because we have no idea about the future and we study, and the capacity of innovation in children. The kids lost this hability because they are not prepare to being wrong, and if you are not prepare to being wrong you never do something original.

In the school said the things you like you never got a job, you don't be an artist. I pass for this situation, they give more importance to the mathematics or science and stigmatice all kind of art, because you will die of hangry in the future.

But I take the risk and study design because is my passion and I have faith in my capabilities, and I think will find a job in something there I like...I hope

Also I learn don't be afraid to mistakes, in the correction of proyects we have to improvise and probably we wrong but is the only way to innovate.

My Neighbor Totoro


It's very difficult to me choose only one movie that I was enjoyed watching. But if I had do it I choose My Neighbor Totoro because represents a optimistic world where don't exist bad people and the principal don't had a antagonist.

Totoro is a forest spirit that little Mei, and later her older sister Satsuki, encounter in a giant camphor tree near their new home in the countryside. Although their father, a university professor, is with them when they move, their mother is in the hospital, recovering from some unnamed illness. When Mei hears that her mother's condition may be worsening, she resolves to visit her all by herself. When everyone realizes she's missing, only Totoro knows how to find her.

I enjoyed this movie because it's a dream have one neighbor like Totoro, who can fly and had friends like a catbus, who is the transportation of choice for Totoro. NekoBasu's got glowing eyes for headlights, rats for tail lights and furry seats that change size according to the passenger.

I feel identified with the little Mei, when I was a girl my older sister always caried of my and played together.

Relax In Puyehue


I went to Puyehue when I was fifteen.

I went to a hot springs called
"Aguas Calientes" it is a lovely thermal center with its own volcanic activity, located in the Tenth Region of the Lakes, amidst dense forests that are nourished by the area's numerous water basins and rivers.

This place is paradise for those who just want to relax and forget about the stress brought on by daily city life while enjoying nature and fresh air.

I went with my uncle, aunt and cousin for the vacations in winter and this liked too mach that we went in summer later. It was a precious and unforgettable experience, It was the first time that I went to a hot spring.

I went to swim whit my cousin in the pool every morning and afternoon and we had a lot of funny situations to remember.

Also we went to "Antillanca" a ski center located on the hillside of the Casablanca Volcano, close to the hot springs. We don't went to sakiing but we enjoyed of the snow and maked a "war of snowball" and it was very funny. We stayed in there all day.

Every day we went to a different restaurants and we could choose any meal that we wanted.

That was one of the best vacations that I ever had, I would like to go again with the same persons.

Work Of Art


This is a picture of Oswaldo Guayasamín, I saw this for the first time in a exposition by in the "Museo de Bellas Artes" in 2000.

Oswaldo was born in Quito, the capital of Ecuador, on July 6, 1919. He graduated from the School of Fine Art in Quito as painter and sculptor. He carried out his first exhibit when he was 23, in 1942. He achieved in his youth all National Awards, and was credited, in 1952, at the age of 33, the Grand Award of the Biennial of Spain and later the Grand Award of the Biennial of Sao Paulo. His last exhibits were personally inaugurated in the Palace Museum of Luxemberg in Paris, and in the Museo Palais de Glace in Buenos Aires, in 1995.

He died on March 10, 99, when he was 79 years old.

This artist made his pictures inspired in the people, in the suffering and postponement that they felt.

His humanist work, marked as expressionist, reflects the pain and misery that the larger part of humanity has endured, and denounces the violence that every human being has had to live with in this monstrous 20th. century marked by world wars, civil wars, genocide, concentration camps, dictatorships, and tortures.

I like "Mother and Son" particularly this because make me feel tenderness, the way of the mother to protect her son is unmatched, I think i felt identified.

It's special to me because the people that he painted is not beautiful but represents feelings and emotions, and this is so much nice.

This make me evokes tenderness, pain, suffering, sadness and a mix of feelings.

Why is TV scared of horror?


I looked in to the www.guardian.co.uk and I read this new:

'Cactus Kid' ad for Oasis banned for condoning teenage pregnancy

It was banned a campaign for Oasis soft drink (Coca-Cola-owned brand) because it could be interpreted as condoning underage sex and pregnancy.

The ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) ruled that the reference to the woman's pregnancy was "offensive and inappropriate ... and could be interpreted to condone underage sex and teenage pregnancy"

Viewers lodged complaints that the ad broke the advertising code on six different grounds.

A number of viewers complained that one TV ad was scheduled inappropriately because children and young people could see it.

Coca-Cola said that it did not target under-12s and that the ads were not scheduled in or around programmes aimed at children.

It said the TV ads did not "denigrate" water and did not discourage other people from drinking it.

The ad watchdog also said that the advert did suggest that "water was being rejected" and this was "irresponsible and could discourage good dietary practice".

It ordered that the ads should not be shown again in their current form.

Today I had to interview to three of my classmates, the topic was the MUSIC!!!

This is one of my favourites topics so the conversation was really fun. Also they interview to me, this servs to know each other.

My cuestions was the next:

1. How frecuently do you listen music?

2. In which places do you listen music?

3. When do you listen music in your room?

4. Do you listen music in the subway?

5. What is your favourite music?

6. Who is your favourite musician or group?

7. What is your favourite disc?

8. How many concerts did you went to?

9. What was the concert that did you liked moust?

10. What concert would you like to go to this year?

I realized that the mous of my classemates listen music everday, also they do it in the subway, in their room, and in any place. I saw that the music is part of their life like in my.

Also that they doesn't have one favourite group, all have many favourite groups.

All my interviewees woul like to go to one concert this year, like Madonna's concert in december, to Kusturica's concert in october and Arcangel's concert in october.

I think that the music joins to the people.
