The importance of money in my life

I started to work when I have eighteen years old; in that time I studied Forestal Engineer. The principal reason to work was to have my own money and be independent.

Always I considered that money it was important, my parents are not rich; but neither poor, of course we had good and bad times, respect to money, and in the bad time one realizes the importance of money to meet the needs to the family.

I never stopped work; because I was bought my own stuff as clothing, notebook, and cellphone and pay some bills to my parents. Then I changed career, to Geography, and I paid all expenses (P.S.U., enrollment, materials, etc.).

I continue worked in the same place, Hoyts Cinemas, like a staff (part time) but with the time I ascend to Administrative (when I had twenty years old) and in this moment becomes a work full time. when I had twenty one years old  I ascend again to Assistant Supervisor and more later to Supervisor (when I had twenty three years old), last month (May) I ascended again to appointment Senior Supervisor (now I have twenty five years old) .

I am currently married, I have my own house and bills to pay, and the money is very important in my life because was help to able to get my independence (me and my husband) I left parent´s house only three months ago, and the money I earn now used to buy everything lack in my house.

I really think that money can't buy happiness but if it helps get it.

Always is time to practice my english

Once, in my job, came a foreigner and a customer; and I didn't know how talk with him, so the first thing that I have asked was... ¿where are you from? because I could't wait for know about him, then he told me that was from England, I suppose that because his pronunciation was so british, I have to admit that was a kind of hard understand what he said to me, so I asked... "what do you want?" and he told me "just a pop corn", I swear that was a kind of funny, but I still talked with him "so, dont you want a soft drink?", he told me "maybe a juice" , I started to laugh! (was embarrasing), "what juice do you want?"... "orange juice please". I gave to him all the things that asked me and he wanted pay with VISA . Finally he asked me... "when time left for the movie start", so I asked if he could give me his ticket and I said "your movie start in half hour more", so he gave me thanks and left.
So, was a cool experience and very educative because I practice my english with a British!!!!

Remember my childhood

This days I remember my childhood memories, I guess that I had a good and bad experiences, but fortunately the sunshine was more shining in the end ....
So when I was a child I liked play handball. This was a kind of hobbie, but finished when me and my parents changed our home. All my childhood I lived in Ñuñoa but when we moved, arrived La Florida. After that, I started to play Football, because in the new neigborhood there`s a club. Unfortunately my mom started work, so I had to take care of my brother.

Finally, I joined to a drama club (weekends only) and  I just wanted act in all the plays, that I could, and was here (in the club) where I found  my first love called Pedro and that`s I never forget. Pedro asked to my parents if he could be my  boyfriend of course my parents don't allowed this love because I was only a child ( I was only ten years old), So we were only friends

TV SERIES!

Since I was a child I love watch TV, now is the only activity that relaxes me and entertains in my free time. All these time I was see soap operas, but now my great passion it´s the TV series.
These days much of my favourites series are coming to their end of season so I´ll have to wait several months to continue with their stories..
I see them every day for cable tv, but when it´s a premiere chapter, I prefer watch in the internet.
My favourite serie it´s House M.D. , ok I love Hugh Laurie but I like too the medical histories and complex character of the protagonist because  is very unpredictable.
Another series that I love is Grey´s Anatomy, each chapter it´s also medical stories that happens in a hospital but focuses more on the live of the doctors that the patients.
Smallville is another series that I follow from the begin, but unfortunately that ended one week ago; this series talk about Superman before become a superhero.
Finally a few months ago, I began to see The Big Bang Theory, and I find great!!!!, this series it´s about a group of friends scientists that work in a university, the leader of the group is Sheldon Cooper and I must be recognized that him (is jerk but I loved) main theme of all chapters around of this particular character.
To end I will tell you that my guilty pleasure it´s watch cooking shows, I love the Fox Life channel and it´s programs: Jamie´s 30 minutes meals, Bill´s food, Nigella, The Delicious Miss Dahl and Ace of Cakes, and I dream make the same food :D

My best holydays

The best holydays i've ever been it was summer on 2010, in chiloe. In this vacations I went with my parents, my brother and, in this time, my boyfriend.
Begins our journey the 11 february and our first stop it was in chillan, the next day we went to Chiloe, to a town called Queilen. We visited to my cousin and his wife and they recived us with open arms. In this place we ate a lot of typical food, I loved the curanto, roast lamb and the others food.

I liked the view to Chaiten volcano (it's in front of Queilen), and what struck me most was when the tide goes out and comes to each moment

On february 22 we set off on the return journey and we stop in Puerto Octay to camp by the lake Llanquihue but we went two days later because we found with a torment and decided travel more the north.

On february 24 the next stop it was in the town of Lican Ray (to camp again) and in this place my boyfriend ask me marriage, that is the moment most important of all my holydays, he chose a moment that we went out for walk by the lake side in the evening and i accepted his proposal. Four days later we return to Santiago, but this journey ever been in my memory

Latin American Stereotypes

Honestly i dont like to label people accord his caracteristic, good or bad, usually the bad characteristics are the stereotypes.
I'm not agree to classify a people or nation by characteristics of a few. But the really it's other, I mean in latinoamerica we are specialists in classify people from a morbid perspective.

Some stereotypes that I know are :

the argentines are egocentric; they think they are the best
the brazilian are friendly and very good dancer
the bolivian are poor and uneducated
the mexican are corrupt and they talk loud
the chilean are thief and aggressive
the colombian are "guerrilleros"(a kind of people that like the warfare) and dangerous
the perubian are resentful but very polite
the venezuelan are beatiful, i mean, they everytime win beauty contest
the uruguayan are proud and very good player soccer.

I belive that stereotypes exist because we allow it, makes us feel better characterize to other people. But the really it's that chilean people are not better, in fact in many other countries we are clasificated in a bad way and even can't travel in freedom beacuse some places the chilean people have so bad reputation. It's unfortunate that we are known internationally as thieves and swindlers because that does not represent the majority of people who are Chilean.
Anyway, I think we can change the way in we are identify if we leave of identify and stop stereotyping others. In this way may know our people as they really are, friendly, generous and kind.

Playa Maqui

My favourite beach is “Playa Maqui” , it´s located in lake Llanquihue in the X Region in a town called Frutillar (in kilometre 6th of the camino costero towards Puerto Octay). Playa Maqui is situated in a bay protected from the wind, in the midst of an enviable natural surrounding, with a magnificent view towards the volcanoes Osorno, Puntiagudo and Calbuco.

It´s a private beach situated inside a camp site. In all my life I only gone four times, in the summers to 1992, 1997, 2002 and 2009. Unfortunately now the camp site it´s closed at the entrance to the beach is prohibited, only can visit a lodge (with the same name the beach) and walk for the beach but not camping anymore.

The most beautiful to me from this place is the quiet and the view. Another of the great attractions for this place is the gastronomy, In the town can to taste a lot of cakes of German origins because people who lives here descent are German.

 The last time, I went  camping with all my family for one week. In that oportunity went to the lake “Todos los Santos” (it's very nearly) and enjoy music week's in the theater of the Frutillar lake.
