Youtube!

Hello!

Internet is like an universe. There are millions and billions of stuff you can find and look for! One of my favourite pages is YouTube. YouTube is the mecca of online videos. I think is fantastic! but it's dangerous too: I've wasted hours and hours watching useless videos instead of doing something I really needed. This page is just enormous: there's a video for anything you can even imagine.

I remember when  we hadn't YouTube. We used to watch tiny videos in the worst quality ever! Now we are able to change the quality if we want, or choose the size of the screen.

Like I said before, there's a video for any people in the world. And my favourite videos on YouTube are the ones who shows little puppys or tiny cats doing something cute or funny. That's a dimension of YouTube that I really REALLY enjoy.

Maybe I visit YouTube all days: everyday happens something that it has to be shown. I remember one time  my friends and me spend like four hours in a row watching funny or creepy videos, because we were at the university waiting for a class. It was awesome, we learn about us and about the internet's culture. (that's a big fat lie)

I don't like to comment on internet about videos, because is useless. But sometimes,  when I watch a video I really like, I click on the button "I like"  but not often.

Of course I've uploaded a video on YouTube! When I was in highschool, in 2nd grade, me and my friends used to make videos all the time! we had an awesome channel online! I was a big star on that videos, and I'm ashamed of the stupid things I did. But they were funny at that time. All my friends almost convinced me of being an actress. What kind of actress? I don't know, because our videos were, at least, abstract. Later, I changed my school and I don't longer keep doing this videos. But then I started to make roll plays. Roll plays were assingments  for english's class. We had to make a video about a book we were reading in that class: we had to make the scripts, produce and editing our homemades videos. My groups always make poor videos. Even If we were representing a story from two centurys ago, we wear the same clothes. Even if we were representing differents characters.

Here you can watch a scene for a roll play that almost ends with my life. We were doing "Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, I was playing the main caracter (I don't remember her name), and my friend was playing   Mr. Darcy. In this scene, he was supposed to save me, because I just had a big accident. But...we ended falling in front of a wall that had a window, we were  two inches away to pass cross the window! cutting and hiting ourselfs and maybe dying. I uploaded the video and then my mom called me to know if I was alive. Even my friends were worried. It was funny, I think.

Eat and habits

Hello!

 

Today's topic is about food and eat habits. I'll try to answer some questions like: ¿Am I a vegetarian?, ¿Do I like fast food? and more.

 The first think I have to tell you is that I love food. When is well cocked, it can be amazing. However, it's a fact there's a lot of  food that I dislike. I don't regulary eat fried food, because oily stuff  it's not my favourite texture, and it's not healthy at all. That principle applies to sweet or salad recepies.  Sometimes I eat homemade french fries or sopaipillas, but it happens like...two times in a year. I'm more into grilled food.

I'm a big fan of veggies, even though I'm not a vegetarian  (I love fish! If I could, I would like to be a big bear hunting salmon in lakes.) Salads are awesome! Mixed veggies prepared with love and not too condimented are my favourite meal. I feel nice when I eat salads for lunch. But,  I don't like all veggies...for example, I hate peas. I HATE PEAS.  I can't tolerate peas in my meals.

During all my childhood, I also hated beetroots. I don't know why. This year they started to taste so good. This makes me  so confused: did I grow up? or they alwayss  tasted fine and I was blind? or tasteless? what's the problem with my tonge?

Beetroot is a very healthy vegetable

My favourite vegetable all times is Zucchini. My philosophy of eating beggins with: you can add zucchini to everything, and it will be just amazing. Grilled, baked, sauted, stewed, ALL PREPARATIONS.

 

I don't eat fast food in restaurants. Pizza is not fast food. If you eat  in Telepizza or pizzahut, you may consider it like fast food. But I like to prepare my own pizzas at home. When you prepare a good dough, and your ingredients are vegs and not only meat, it becomes a gourmet meal. The only problem with pizza it's the cheese. But cheese is never a problem, If you don't abuse of it. You can calmly eat pizza if cheese isn't a regulary diary on your diet.

I consider as a fast food things like hot-dogs, hamburguers, french fries, etc. I don't buy them, anywhere. I only eat hot dogs when my family does. But my dream is get to eat a krabby Patty's from

Krusty krabs restaurant. The big problem is that I live on the surface of earth and I'm not a sea cartoon, or Sandy the squirrel. And no one can now the secret formula.
My eating habits are normal. I always take my breakfast at home. This meal consist in toasted loans of integral bread, with fresh cheese and avocado, tomatoes, or dills with lettuce. I prefer fresh stuff for breakfast. I eat my amazing morning sandwich with black tea, or milk. This happens at 8.30 am.
I try to eat fruits or healty snacks during the meals, at 10.30 am and 17.00 pm. My lunch consist in a meal that considers proteins, veggies, and carbs. I eat it  when the morning classes are over, even if it's too early (like, 12.30, 13.00pm). Last week, I invented other snack, called midnight tacos. I prepare those tacos exactly at midnight, when I'm studying and I now I won't finish early. Midnight tacos are a slice of tortilla with lettuce, tomatoes, etc. They are really yummy!

 

 

 

Nature

Hello!

 

The subject for this friday it's about enviroment awareness. It's hard for me to say that I care about the  nature because sometimes I feel I just don't, even if I try to recycle all my thrash. In my house we have three diferent garbage cans, where we classify the trash in: all kind of plastic bundle, like bags, stock markets, bottles, or paper from tea bags, notebooks, newspaper, wine bottles, tetrapack boxes, electric junk, all kind of scrap, paperboard, expired medical drugs,  old batteries, even nasal inhalers. When we fill the cans, my mother or father takes the classify trash and goes to the "Punto Limpio", a place in near Vitacura who recycles all the stuff you can imagine. But that's not enough. I think that's a basic habit. In my case, I can't do anything more than throwing away organic residuals to the tradtional trash, because I live in a flat. 

"Punto Limpio"

 

 Before I knew about "Punto Limpio", I used to made Eco-bricks, filling plastic bottles with plastic trash. But this way of recycling was not very productive, because it takes too many time. Although, with ecological bricks, people is making things like parks, houses, etc.

Here is a picture eco bricks piled up at GAM

 

But recycling it's only one  way to take care the enviroment. There's a lot of ONGs trying to stop the global warming, and providing some help to the constant harassmment from industries to forests and animals. I know I can do more about this. I'm ashamed of  my laziness.
