Hi, today I am talking about a Christmas that I remember. The Christmas of 2005, I was 7 years old and my birthday was 5 days before Christmas. I don’t remember many details about that because I was very younger, but I know that I get my first bicycle. Time after that my dad told me that for this Christmas he had to hidden it in my grandma´s bedroom (we lived in in a house behind my grandma´s house, so when I was younger, I always came to her house and I play in there) Anyway, when I saw my bike for the first time, I was very happy I couldn’t stop to grinning for the rest of the night. So I took my new bicycle to the street and I tried to ride it, but there was a problem, the bicycle it was more bigger than me. So I had to get help by the curb. Everything went well until that I had to get down of the bike, because how I said, I the bike it was bigger than I was, so fell to the ground for the first time. So learned that I had to use the curb to get up and to get down. Actually th

Today I’m talking about of my travel to Machu Picchu Peru. This year, my cousin surprised me with a travel to Peru. She invites me for one week in Cusco and Machu Picchu. I was so happy, I couldn’t stop to grinning for the rest of the day. All this was the last March, so she paid the passages for the last July, because it supposed that I´m on vacation of winter in those days. But I didn´t count with the ¨paro¨ of the university, so I only expect that it finished soon or before my travel. Fortunately the ¨paro¨ was very longer, so I could went to Peru and came back to Santiago, Chile. However, we left the airport a night of Saturday and arrived in Lima, Peru at the morning, and then we take other plane to the city of Cusco. In this part of the travel we had a lot of problems because the weather, but finally all went well and we arrived to Cusco. I remember that the first day was very cold and it was raining, and we only sleep because we are very tired for the travel. The next da

Today I am talking about something that I do to keep fit. When I was younger, I rode my bicycle. But now I don´t have time and I don´t like the new laws to ride bicycles in the street. Because now you have to use a reflective suit, and a helmet (I know the helmet is necessary but don’t like using it because I think that my head is too big and with the helmet is even bigger, and the reflective suit is necessary too, but is so ridiculous). And if you don’t wear this, you have to pay a fine. So, I started to practice taekwondo in the FAU. Actually, I really like it. I have been practicing for two months and I love it. Today, I had my first combat in taekwondo, and it was amazing and so exciting. I think I did it well for my first time, but I am not sure. I had to use the suit of combat and it was incredible, I felt like a power ranger when I got dressed. I practice taekwondo two times a week, two hours each day. And when I finish the training I feel great, but the first times I felt l

Today I am talking about a draw that I made. First of all, I really like drawing and painting, and I draw what ever I like, but I can´t create something for myself, I just copy for a picture (never trace). However, this is a draw of the Eiffel Tower, actually I have never gone to Paris, but I really like this amazing creation of engineer and architecture. So, the last summer when I was on vacation, I decide drawing it. But if did it, I think it will have better if I made it as big as I can.  Then I used a craft paper of 110cm x 80cm. At the beginning it was so hard, because see that paper of that size in white (or brown, because it was a craft paper) is a little stressful. But when I did the first line on the paper, all the stress is gone. So, I listened music and I started drawing. For this drawing I used a simple pen to made the principal sketch, and then I used four different type of stylists to made all the metal pieces of the tower, and a charcoal to made the shades. In t

Today I’m talking about a job that I would like to do. Since I was a child I always wanted to be a pilot, because I was really liked the planes. When I grew up, I wanted to be a firefighter, because every time that I saw a firefight´s truck, I got astounded for it, for the sound, the size of the truck and the suit of the firefighter. Then I wanted to be a comic drawing, because I like drawing, principally I like drawing superheroes. I remember that, when I was in the school, in my free time, I created my own characters and I invent my poppies stories about them. I thing that my inspiration was Stan Lee, jack Kirby and Steve Dikto the creators of marvel comics. They created iconic character of the popular culture like spider-man, x-men, the fantastic four and my favorite iron man. And the past Monday 12 th Stan Lee dies at 95 years, the last of this amazing team. I think I have the qualities to be a great illustrator (in my not humble opinion) because I know haw this world of comics

Today I’m going to talk about my two best friends. Their names are Arturo and Gabriel. I met Arturo first in 2001 in the kinder garden when we were 3 years old (I don’t really have a lot memories about this part of my life). So, Arturo and I went to the same school and we are in the same level (pre-kinder). Actually we didn´t talk too much. But when we were in the first level we started to talk more and we entered to the “chess club”. At this moment we were friends. Then, in the second level, arrived Gabriel to our school (it was in 2006, when we were 7 years old). Between the second and the seventh level we did all the homework together, we played in the recess together. But, when we finished the seventh level, Gabriel moved to Curico because his parents had work in that city, and we lost contact with him for three years. So, when we were in the secondary school, Arturo and I met a new friend, Javier. He converted us in two rat boys, and we played in the computer every day after t
