My favorite gadget !!


Actually I don´t like very much the technology because I think it is important but not completely necessary in my life. Anyway I enjoy, like everybody some of these items. For me one of the thing that I really like to do is to listen to music and the mp3 is a one of the technological device that makes it possible. This is the reason why the mp3 is my favorite gadget.
Also I like it because you can save in its memory all the music that you like and the important thing that you want to keep in it.
I´ve have had like two or three mp3 in my life, because always I miss them or broke them, but the last one I have kept it for more time than the others. My mother gave it to me two years ago in Christmas and said that this was the last mp3 that she wolud buy me.  
I use my mp3 every day, especially when I travel from my house to the University or from the University to my house. I used also when I try to sleep in the night.
If  I don´t have my mp3 maybe the travel to the university would be less fun. But some times ago I was without it and I realized that in the begin it was sadder because many thing became more boring, and after a while you see that it isn´t truly necessary. In fact sometimes when I travel I don´t want to use it and I prefer read or just look the landscape.

The Whitest Boy Alive !!

One of the group that I really enjoy is “The Whitest Boy Alive”. This is an German band, born in Berlín in 2003. They are recognize like a electronic based band, but not all they song are just electronic, they mixed it with other styles like indie and pop.
I knew this band in a radio program that presented the best of their music and some of their history, the program is called “Fina Selección” and talks about different kind of singers and band. Time ago I´ve heard one of their song called “1517” in a FIFA game. I like it immediately but in that time I didn´t know the name of the group.
They visit our country this year in february and played in Municipal Theatre in Valparaíso with Javiera Mena, I couldn´t go in that moment, so I really hope they arrive again soon, but this time in Santiago to see then for first time.
The band was formed by four members; Erlend Oye (guitar and vocal), Marcin Oz (bass), Sebastian Maschat (drums) and Daniel Nentwig (piano rhodes and crumar), and they have two albums: Dreams (2006) and Rules (2009).
Both albums are very similar, but in my opinion the best is Dreams, because its songs have more changes and are more different from each. Finally my favorite song is Inflation for the changes that it have.

A different newspaper !!

El Ciudadano is a chilean newspaper founded in the Ríos Region in march 13, 2005. This newspaper is part of the "Red de medios de los pueblos" (RMP), that is a citizen organisation who is form by diferent kind of mass media, like radio, internet, print and tv in all national territory. The RMP figth for the free expression rigth and search the democratization of the comunication.
The people who created that medium is a group of young adult who believe that the comunication is like a tool to change the society.
This isn´t my favorite website but I think that is very important for the national press.  The way that their talks about any kind of topic is different to the official media, it is a style more independent. Anyway I like the way that they write because many times they represent the opinion of the popular and media class, and I think that in our case is the most of the people.
El ciudadano is directed by Bruno Sommer Catalán and Sebastián Larraín Saá and althoug the newspaper just have five years old is a important medium that today sells copies in more than 5 thousand stores.

My favorite movie...


 Toy story is the name of three USA`s animation movies produced by Pixar Animation Studios. The trhee movies was characterized by Tom Hanks (Woody) and Tim Allen (Buzz Ligthyear), and talks about the adventures of the Andy´s toys.
The first part of the saga the mains characters, Woody and Buzz, wasn´t very friendly but in the developmend of  the movie they begins to build a great friendship with the other toys. In the second part a bad owner of a toys store stole Woody, but all his friends rescued him. The third and finally part shows when Andy is an adult and have to go to the University, so he have to leave his toys. That is my favorite part because it shows the things that happen with Andy´s toys and how their friendship was growing. In end the movie is very emotional but I will not talk about it, because I want that you watch it.
The movies was acclaimed for the critical and received many awards so definitely I recommend its.
