I LOVE ANIMALS!!! especially pets! i really enjoy their company. obviously I preffer animals rather persons because the don't talk, don't argue and don't claim.
Pets are willing to give you all of their unconditional love. They always are giving you a signal that they're happy to see you. there's nothing better than coming home and watch how they recieve every member of the family.
In my life I have had a lot kind of pets, but anyway I select the dogs. Many dogs have marked my life. each and every one of them was very important for me, they have teached me a lesson.
Homs was an amazing Dalmatian.. after someone stole my coker Drupi (my first dog) we were very hurt. My family decided not to have pets anymore.. well, one day we visited a lady (Amelia) who is closed to our family. My brother and I were extremely bored so we decided to explore her house. It follows that this lady had a Dalmatian closed in a ultra small area. this dog called Homs, he was thin and careless.. it seems that his whole life had been locked out without the possibility of hang arround.
My brother and I inmediatlty fall in love with him and since that day we bother Amelia to let her understand that the best for Homs was living in our home, where he could have more space.
Homs began to feel better, gain weight and handle himself
He was the spoiled of the house.everynight he tried to sleep indoor, because he always wanted to be with us. everymorning was a problem.. when the college bus picked us up to go to school, Homs run after the bus as he knew we were suffering.
When we moved to Rancagua Homs moved with us too. He loved runing and runing all over the yard, but oneday he stayed out on the streets for an afternoon and suddenly a car hit him on his legs.
He lost  his left hand. with the time you get used to it.. in deed he learned how to run with three legs..in our neighborhood our house were known as "the house of  the ... Dalmatian"
well, he died 10 years after his accident, He had a plenty and happy life.

Santiago, Stgo, Santiasco... whatever! its our capital city and we must love it as it is.
My very first impression of Stgo was pollution and crowded streets, but if you have time to look arround you and see the new offers of this city, you would be impressed.
When someone ask me to pick 5 different places in Santiago to take a foreigner tourist who is visiting our capital, i think in my TOP 5 places.....the first thing that comes to my mind are pubs or discos or places that open at night.. but suddenly I remember a few places that take my breath away. It doesen't matter if the places I've been picking have touristic relevance.
LET'S GO TOURING SANTIAGO IN ALE'S WAY!!.

1.- LONDRES-PARIS PEDESTRIAN
suburb located on santiago commune, dowtown center.
the attraction of this place is their beautiful surroundings areas. The neighborhood style is like European style, because the streets were made with cobblestones and the buildings aren't so high. The streets are narrow and there's no  much trade. It's the perfect place to take a walk on spring.


RODELBAHN:
It's one of the most entertaining attractions. it consist on a toboggan-slide where you descend the hill on it. you can reach a speed of 40 kms per hour. It has a lot of curves and fun. the sledge has a brake lever in case of emergency. the adults descend alone and the kids must descend with an adult. It has a lot of adrenaline and fun. besides, you can enjoy the view of santiago. It's located in the Mahuida Park in La Reina.




PARQUE ARAUCANO:
Definitely I love Parque Araucano. The park  is located at the commune of  Las Condes, next to the Parque Arauco Mall.
It's a place of recreation, has near to 30 hectares with a lot of trees and flowers and little roads.
I really enjoy going there because  it makes me think, yes, think about the things I've done the last weeks. it's very relaxing.
It has a lot of playgrounds, a huge birdcage, at least 4 sports courts, has a big pool, a skatepark and a big pasture where in summer the municipe organize movie nights and outdoors concerts.
I really love it. everything is well maintained and clean.
the perfect schedule is have a perfect shopping day and ending the day in the amazing courtyards.



LA CHASCONA:
La Chascona it's the name of the house of Neruda, the famous Chilean poet. It's located at the foot of San Cristobal hill..in this house, the poet lived with Matilde, the love of his life.
For me this house is the great legacy of the poet... it's like the house had kept the secret of inspiration through the years.
It's very interesting visiting La Chascona because you always have something to discover. the place is full of figures and objets colleted by Neruda. the house have a lot of stairs. the "gringos" love it!



 CHIHUAHUA:
Saving the best for last, Chihuahua is a Karaoke pub very unusual. You can sing, drink, eat and dance.. all in the same place. The place is not very big, but it's very cozy. It is located in Av. Vitacura. It opens Monday to Saturday and always have live show. the people feel very welcome there.. you can dance on top of chairs and tables if you wish. Trust me.. its very funny. Their slogan is: "more than a pub, a therapy".

The Death Penalty is known as a punishment made by the man to make another man pays for the terrible things he had done.
It consists on inducing the death. the sinner is injected with a mix of chemicals that makes his organism colapse.
the thing is that the society limits thelife of a human being, judging against a "wrong act"... but what its wrong or right? we are dealing with the LIFE!
the Death Penalty can't stop the crime and can't change the criminals... its totally negative. It can only satisfy the feeling for revenge from the victim's family.
We are in the 21st century.. its a edge of technology, advances and culture.., but we still haven't get the real meaning of being alive.. the sparkle of life!
it's something really arrogant determine when someone has to finish their existance in our world. above this principles, it seems that is more consistent give effective faults (all life in jail) than trampling on the will of our gods.
in conclusion.. I think that every person can change, can be a better man or woman.. the thing is we have to give this opportunity to change, no matter how big the problem or the sinn was.  in a deeply corner of our souls he have the chance to be developed to a great person. the Capital Penalty destroyes this chance. " A penalty of this nature is not a corrective, it can only be an act of revenge"

I LOVE SPAIN

I love going abroad!!! since I was a child girl, my parents taught me that the only legacy they can leave to me is knowledge. There are a lot of types to learn something but for me the most complete and entreteinment is traveling. I´ve been in many differents countries and i've known a lot of differents cultures.  There are beautiful places arround the world  that you have to visit before you die.
In my opinion Spain got everything that im looking for. First of all.. if you like history, you will love Spain.
Spain is cradle of universal history
In deed, most of the income of the country comes from the tourism. You can learn about middle ages time, see the bull racing, visit the casttle of the catholic kings, see scultures or buildings creates by  famous artists. The people that had been in Spain agree that its a huge outdoors museum.
On the other hand Milan and Madrid are fashion capitals. You can found  big varieties of clothes styles in a really great couture. Every different style that a spanish man wears always fits him great. They are never out of style.
The food isnt that great but I can mention the classic CHURROS with hot chocolate ( the perfect winter breakfast ). 
They have greats wines too..It is very common found workers having TAPAS  after work. Tapas is like "picoteo" in Chile.. kind of elaborate gourmet meal.
Another good  point its they speak spanish. There's no language barriers, although sometimes its difficult to understand some colocations in their speaking. 

The only thing that I really don`t like of Spain its they live very near each other with their neighboards. between house to house theres no space. this is made up by the amazing green areas and big parks they have.

My dream in a uncertanly future is living on Barcelona. I would like to study there and then I want to live there.

Chile have beautiful places to hang arround (I recomend the southern cities) but in my opinion we are way too long to have the same good conserve places in compare to Spain

COUNTRY'S WOMEN VISION ABOUT TRANSANTIAGO






Transantiago is the "new" way of santiago transportation. It has a lot of achievements and failures in compare to the old way of bus transportation (the yellow "micros").
I didn`t use too many times the old transportation system, and in nowdays I ocassionally use the Transantiago.
There are a few things that I can remember of micros. 
I remember they were dirty and had a lot of graffitis on the back of each seat.
 To get on it you must pay an amount of money in cash and the "micrero" (the bus driver) gave you back a fancy ticket.
To get off the micro you had to pull a rope or just yell to the bus driver to stop
 The bus driver also loved to race against the other micros.
 In the other hand we have the Transantiago. They seems like caterpillars. They're way better than micros in terms of comfort. They`re wider, and larger, with more seats and areas for disable people. The entries are more espacious. The payment is made by the BIP card (you can also pay the underground ticket with your bip). This way is faster than pay with cash, but if you dont have money charged in your bip, you can't use the public transportation.
An another difference is the routes they do. They changed all their schedule and rutes. This made some users upset because them was used to do a very specifc route to get to their houses... but now they have to commute in differents stations and complement this with the underground to get home.
I think that transatiago can impove their service if they implement more busses in each route, so the users don`t have to wait an eternity to get one.

My last semester in 2010 was a little bit strange..

-first af all, I started to live with my brother (Nacho) and a friend of his (Pablo) in a department in Stgo... you must understad that a girl living with two man it would be a dissaster, so for a HEALTHY AND CLEAN LIVING we have to hire a nanny (katty).
katty its a very patient person because she had to deal with the mess left the last night.. obviously caused by nacho and pablo's party
 but in the other hand we have to be patient with her every morning: it seems that every time that you are late and need to go to classes its the perfect time to her to talk about her things!! GOD! blablablabla and she doesnt stop until you're leaving and she stops talking when you close the principal door... well after all she is a good person.

-the best of the semester was meet my best friend and other really cool guys that make my life happy

-focusing on the university I have to admit that last semester i was a little bit lazy with some exams.. kind of unmotivated with the studies and i dont know why. everytime that i felt that strange feeling i tried to put my mind in blank, and the only way to achieve that was riding horses...
when i realized that i was sinking in my own mess was too late to  mend the problem.
so now im trying to change some things that i dont like about me, to improve myself and become a better person.
