Xbox 360


The Xbox 360 it´s a game console, actually belonging to my cousins, but as live very close to them therefore play when I want. They have about 2 years ago, gave it for Christmas, and in that time have had many and varied games, as The Simpsons, Guitar Hero, Gears of War, etc. But my favorite game was GTA (Grand Theft Auto), where a man wanders the city doing things that might not ever do, like stealing cars, killing people, etc. Is a very violent but entertaining game.


In holidays I play with the Xbox every day and many hours, but in rest of the year I dont play almost never because I have a lot of study.


For last Christmas we got two very good games: The Beatles Rock Band and Guitar Hero World Tour, these games make you feel in a real band because they include a battery, two guitars and a microphone, is like being in a karaoke. Sometimes play all my family!


I understand that without The Xbox would not end life, but since there prefer to spend the rest of my days with this (or until a new console and more entertaining :P)

Pulp Fiction




When I ask myself wich is my favorite movie many options come to my mind because I love movies and I always try to see premieres or all that my friends recommend me.


The requirements that a film should have to become one of my favorites are: good story, good music, good photography and good performances. So, my favorites are "Amelie", "La lengua de las mariposas", "Las trillizas de Belleville", "Amores Perros" and all directed by Quentin Tarantino.


The first movie from Tarantino that I saw was Pulp Fiction when I was about 15 years old, and I love it! What I liked most was the sordid ambience that moved the characters, the irony present in the dialogues and the way that violence displayed in the scenes.


I also love the characters of Jhon Travolta and Uma Thurman, called Vincent Vega and Mia Wallace, respectively. The first was the bodyguard of a powerful man and the second was the wife of this. My favorite scene above all in the film is when Vincent dances with Mia in a very kitsch restaurant.


So if you have not seen this movie, I totally recommend it!

My holidays in the Lanalhue Lake


I am not a person who has traveled so much, the only times that have left the country is to Mendoza, Bariloche y Buenos Aires, in Argentina. In all this travels to enjoy a good time, but finally when I think of th best trips I have taken do not go according to kilometers of distance or place are exotic, for my up to now the better trips have been to the south nof Chile.

For example, when I was 10 years old I went to Lanalhue Lake with my family. This lake is located in Arauco province, close to the town of Cañete 640 kilometers to the south of Santiago. In days we spent an enjoyable morning with my five cousins we were going to the pool until we were called to lunch, we took a boat and then sailed across the lake, or sometimes we were on horseback, and in the afternoon we went to a nerby cafe to afternoon sncack.

Our cabins were on the side of a hill with many trees, where we made our secret club with branches and leaves of "Nalca", the same is done with nthe traditional "curanto" in Chiloé and the south are from many sides.

I hope to return to that place where most old woman and take my grandchildren to enjoy as I did.
