The creation of Adan

12:57 |

My favorite picture in the world is the creation of Adan, is a very big and known picture. appear in the movie 2012, when the picture broken jus in the part of the fingers of god and Adan touch, represent the separate between god and the man.

This picture stay in the ceiling of the Sistine chapel, ist a fresco painted by Miguel Angel, in the year 1511, the picture long is 480.10 cm x 230.10 cm.

The inspirations of the picture is a biblic event, when god give the life inspiration to his first man.

I see the picture for first time, when I go in the school, in the art class, but I believe, that picture be in a wall, but not, later I knowned that the picture was painted into the ceiling of the Sistine chapel, I don't knowned the Sistine Chapel, so I thing is a picture inside a church, but when I saw the Sistine chapel in a picture mi perception of the picture changed a lot.

I like because represent the most important moment in the life of the man, I believe in god, but not in the christendom story about the creation of man, anyway I believe the picture is great, represent of one simple form, a very complex moment in the history.

This art work is better to me, because is painted in the ceiling, and whit a lot of details, if you can try paint in the ceiling is very complex, see the bodies, see the forms, see the complet escene before you complete it self, and continue the history of the bible like Miguel Angel did in the ceiling of the Sistine chapel.

My family is composed by five people, my parents, and my two brothers, how we was children, we figth a lot, for everything, especially, if we play Attack II, a very good board game of war.

But one christmas my grand mother give one Play station, our first impression, was this is a incredible machine, and, we play game, of figth and the games that the play station comes, but one day my mother knows a pirate, and she buy Winning Eleven, South american cup, we started lay this game, learning alone, by try and mistake, for the world cup of 2002, Korea-Japanwe organice our world cup, with the same participant selections, we play arround of 36 matches, and the results was noted in a paper, we play the world cup for one or two months, later, when our world cup finally, we training for the Eurocup 2004.

the objetive of the game is easy, make more goals, than your oponent, and win the match, and later our world cup.

we playing the game one or two times per week, but we training arround three times per week.

I like this game because you can play alone, and perfect your self, but the same time you can play with the others, and orgnice your versions of this diferents cup, and change the real results, even my dad fall in the game and play the four men of the house.

A Good Book

13:18 |

I read a lot of book, but my favorite book is Fuerteventura from the spanish author Alberto Vásquez-figueroa, actually he have 74 years old, the book was wrote in 1999.

My story started when I went to the supermarket in La Serena, and in a jail of sale, I see the book, a big book, whit a submerine in the cover I saw these and take into my hands I thing a few moments, put my hand in my poket and buy it, later I was read the book in a few weeks, after my book passed by the hands of all my family, because I spoke all day about the text.

The book is about a woman that was infiltred into the Fuerteventura island in a brothel, by the secret service of england, during the second world war, these island is used by the germans like a resort, where the marines of the submarine rest of his large missions, in the story the women fall in love of the captain of the most powerfull submarine of the germans, the women called Erika Simon inform every time form the activities of this powerfull submarine of the alies, finally, the English send a group of his better command group, to take the submarine, but the german captain, don't give up this and order dive more over the submarine resistance, finally the submarine destroy whit the captain, Erika and the command inside.

I like this book, because the author really introduce you into the character of Erika Simon, and you only read she´s adventures, and you can read the adventures of the captain only he told her, moreover, the danger still over her, because like a spie, she can discover and killed by the soldiers or the other women.

One Ambition or two

12:58 |

I have a lot of ambitions, and I go to a lot of places on the earth, but my really ambition is go to the space.

From I was a child I see the moon and the space and I like to go and visits the space or the moon and feel the cero gravity. everything started when my grand father give me a book of the space, call the book of the space, I looked the book and I like the pictures of galaxies, planets, stars and black hole from this moment I ever dream when visit de space, like in the movies.

I like to achieve this because is very hard and only a few people do this travel, and this people was a conquerors and discoverers of the new world in an new frontier.

I like be a few of this man that do this dangerous travel, more over in the present, some companies send a space travel, of course this travel is very expensive, but is a rare experience.

My toher ambition is more small, I like across the seven sea in a ship, like the pirates, because the see is enormous, and you never boring to sail in the sea, you see the start, you listen the silence and you know new countries and new coast.

This second ambition was drive for a book of the pirates, that I reed a lot of time call, captain of war and see, its a very good book.

The first ambition is very hard to do, my only option is buy ona of this ticket on this spaceflight, but the second ambitons is more easy to do, because if I don´t buy a ship I buy a ticket in one of this cruise, for cross the world in a very very very long holidays.

Whe play long hours, untill the sun fall, when whe go to the water, and the argentines do a coment from unlikely source, they said sit and leave what the wage put in you, this coment is burn in mi mind.

This same year whe stay in La Serena for two months, from January to February and go to a lot of parties whit my brothers and my cousin, whe run for the police very times, because whe drunk in the street or in a private site, its a great summer in a great beach.

Well the beach is a very beutiful place, wtih salesman of cuchufli, icecream and egg bread, is clean and the sand is hot from 3 pm to 5 pm, in the back of the beach be a lots of hotels and little stands, where you buy water, food, fruits, handicrafts and a lot of innecesary things.

The chellenge of learning english

21:12 |

I like learning english because is the most use full language in the world, given in the film world in hollywood.

I don't like learn english, because is very dificult, to me, moreover is necesary a lot of patience and dedication, becuase is very diferent comparade with the spanish.

The most dificult to learn is the conjugations and the sounds, are very diferent to the written word.

Of the english culture, I like the punctuality and the mysticism of the king and the people government and his football league, the have a lot of good players and teams, like Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, but the football selection is not very good, don't like the rugby selection because these selections going to win the six nations tournament of this year, but I don't like his language, because is very dificult.
