Blog post N°6 Videogames.

Hello Everyone!

We're already in the second half of the blog sessions! That's right ladies and gentlemen, today we're going to write our sixth post.

For today we have the second chosen topic, that means: VIDEOGAMES!

I'll start by saying that I'm not a big fan of videogames, I don't play them very often, and I don't usually invest money on them. But I do recognize that there are many videogames I like, some of them are very old, but they remind me of other good times and they're a lot of fun to play.

A classical, that I used to play in videogame rentals, in the 90's, is Snow Bros, in which you have o defeat different monsters, to move into new stages to try to rescue a princess.



Some of the others I like are from a company named Neo Geo, I played these in a computer as I was growing up, with my brothers and for hours when the internet was not an option. Some examples are Metal Slug, The King of fighters, Magical World, and Bomberman.



My favorite video game, by far, I would say isPokémon, because I loved it since it came out, and I played several versions of it, not only videogames but also card games.

Nowadays the only videogame I play is Mortal Kombat Armageddon, in my PS2. I play it with my neighbor when he comes over to my house, we call it 'echar peleas' and it keeps me away of stress!
If I ever have problems with anything, I imagine myself performing a FATALITY!
And that solves it all! haha.

So now it's your turn!
Write about videogames in at least 140 words. Make a comment in my post and at least in 3 of your classmates'.

Blog Post N°5

A photography you like and its story!

Hi girls and boys!
This week's post is about a photography you like, any of them! It can be one you took, or a famous one taken by a photographer of your choice.

Here's mine!

                           
 In the picture, you can see George Harrison, and Bob Marley (and two other people I don't know)

I've liked these musicians for a long time now. Harrison, former guitar player and my favorite Beatle, is also the name of my first dog. And Marley, family name of one of the greatest artists/activists I know, is the name of my first cat :)

                                                
                           Here's my version of it. These are my Harrison and Marley :)

This took place in Copiapó, where I adopted Marley. She was about 4 months old in the picture, Harrison had never lived with a cat before, but he's such a lovely dog that he never had problems with her. This picture is special because it reminds me good times. It was taken back in 2014 when I lived in the Atacama Region. The reason why I chose this picture is because these animals were my family then, since I lived alone and knew nobody there. 

                                      
                                         EXTRA!!! Just because they look so cute!
So...
What's your favorite picture?
Where was it taken?
Who took it?
Why is it special for you?

- 140 words minimum.

Blog Session N°4

Hi Everyone!

We're already in the fourth session of this semester! times flies, uh?

In this session, you'll be free to speak about this topic:

For me, music is many things. I really love listening to it, and I even like singing.
I believe I can sing, even though I'm clearly not a talented singer. In my opinion, singing has to do with emotions, and not only techniques and voice. So maybe everyone could be a singer, if they found a song they could truly sing from their hearts.

Now, from the listener point of view, I think music nowadays has been corrupted by the market,  I mean, the music industry. Most of nowadays musicians seem to sing in a very shallow way, and the styles and lyrics that are on fashion these days, are not very good.

My favorite music styles are rock, reggae and hip hop. For a long time now, I've been listening to Sublime almost every day. Have you heard this band before?
Here's one of their songs :)
