Hi.
I have four pets right now! They are two puppies and two female dogs. The first one, and my favorite is Almendra, and i have her since one and a half year ago. The second one is Lulu, and she is in my familyu since the summer of this year. The puppies are called Hansel and Gretel (like Grimms brothers stories). The puppies were born four months ago, and are of Almendra.
I think that people keep pets because they are a good company, in fact, some people think that they even are loyal (sometimes more that people).
Dogs are good pets, and cats too. I prefer dogs because they are more loving and friendly.
About the idea of that pets owners live longer, i think that is possible but not sure. I mean, when people have any pet they don't feel to alone sometimes, and pets don't need nothing else that eat and love. Pets aren't complicated, and they are lovely!. Besides, the reason to have pets is that you'll enjoy with them, so if anytime you doesn't have it you shouldn't keep with a pet.
A important point is that to have pets you have to be prepared to take care of them, because they are living, and they suffer just like an human been.

Moreover, women have to talk about their relationship with the father, the reason to do an abort, and the place where it is realized. They never give their names to the doctor, but in the state of Oklahoma there's a small population, so is easy find out who is who.

The statue of John Paul II in Bellavista.
Hi.
I'm against the proyect. I'm against the statue because i think that is too big for a little space like that, and will look grotesque. Besides, i think that the statue won't be a contribution to the square, because we already have the new building of Universidad San Sebastian, that makes look horrible to the neighborhood. I think that USS building is an imitation to our building, did you notice it? The roof is red like our, and the wall makes feel the same.
In other way, i think that the statue is a waste of money. It coste $400 millions! it is enough money to impulse usefull ideas, relevant proyects.
The university that pays the pope statue is the same one that imitate our building. USS is completaly catholic, you just need pay attention to the name. Our university is known like secular. The instalation of this statue in from of our university seems a incitiment to our bealieves. In a general way, no all the country is catholic, so put the biggest statue of the world that has been ever dedicated to the pope in a public place isn't pluralistic.
For all the reason i gave, if i was the mayor of Recoleta i surely said NO! The neighborhood isn't agree with the proyect any way. I think that the statue don't bring something for the neighborhood by itself. I think that on this square should exist a place to the family, neutral ideologically speaking.
I'm not against the pope figure, his work like pope or something like that., but i think that put a giant statue like that is a crime to the urban city.

Transantiago: Before and after.
When Transantiago system begun, i was in the school. I live to one hour of Providencia (where was my school and now the university) and every morning i run to don't lost the bus. However, the old public transport was so bad like Transantiago in a beginning, so from this point of view is very similar. The busses now are worn with the years of use, but the yellow busses was disgusting because they contaminated all the streets. New busses doesn't.
Transantiago is better because you can do the next combination paying once: three busses plus subway once or four busses. You just must take all of them in two hours. However, when you use the new public transport sometimes you have to take two busses for arrive to somewhere. In my case, i have to take two busses everyday to come, and then two busses to come back at home. Sometimes it makes me feel more tired because i have to wait more time that before, just because i have to wait twice.
The drivers now are more polite, because they have a contract that they have to accept and respect. Now the owners of the busses aren't they like before.
The main chance i could make for make better the system is improve the frequence of the busses and the quantity of them in the streets on pick hours. The people at the end of the day is already tired of their jobs and study places, so come back at home is the last thing they want to lead with.
A country i'd like to visit
Hi! Welcome again to my blog. It was of the last term, and i still have my old tasks.
About this new task, i have no doubts about the country: England.
First of all, i choose this country because i think is the most cosmopolitan country of Europe, and maybe of all the world. I think that the capital of England, London, is a great city because have a big size and on it there's millions of different people, that come from Europe, America, and other continents for different reasons. Some of them travel to England becuase they are looking for a job, other people go to studying in colleges of important level, like Cambrigde or Oxford. Other people are turists that want to know this country because have known futball teams or because in England has born important music bands, some of them are almost miticals, like The Beatles.
In my case, i want to visit England because i think that this country is really rich in cultural topics and have the best schools of the world. I has always want to visit the Stonehenge, a prehistorical monument that consist on several stones stand by their own in the middle of a green landscape, in the south of the island. Maybe this is the first thing i knew about England, and since then i has want to visit this beautiful country. Besides, my favorites music bands are from Teingmouth, Denvon and from Basildon, Essex.
I want to study in Oxford or Cambrigde to continue learning law in a different culture, and can compare the society. About living there, i think i could live there for some years but not all my life because i love Chile and i want to meet all countries that i can.
If i go there is because i think that the main way to meet want we perciebed like interesting is going there, have a lot of experiences and enjoy all the chances we have actually to travel around the world.

The best in my area.
In spite of is difficult decided just one person, i think that Jaime Williams Benavente must have this place on my blog.
Jaime Williams is a lawyer of PUC (1966) and he teach Introduction to Law in our University, besides philosophy too.
I pick him because i think the have a great knowlegde about juridic system of Chile. I read sometime ago a book he wrote that talk about Law. On it he explane of a really easy way all i should know like "mechona". Besides, he can be able of explane the doctrines completelly oppossite and makes us (to the readers) choose a option without problem, because he is a objetive writter.
Another think i want to make note is that he teach really well, something that inspire you when you're in summer school and have to decide the university you gonna study next 5 years of your life.
The is dedicated to teach in others universities the same topics that he teach in here. Few teachers don't do that.
Sir Ken Robinson talk
The talk that made Sir Ken Robinson introduce us in a important topic that is the creativity and schools, how those themes are related, no in a good way.
Basically, he talk to us that schools kill creativity. For example, the society always gonna prefer a profesional compare with an artist. So, all activities that kids learn in school are related with university, like the future all of them should follow any day. Of course, Robinson said that university and traditional career aren't the only way of life: being painter, dancer, writter however don't represent a good choice for the person and for the society, actually.
The public education system produce people without hability for think behind the world shows. Students just are able of memorice and get just the necessary to live, they don't produce something else that static knowlegde.

Orange Sky.
Hi everyone, i'll show a photography i took.You can see the sky. I took it some months ago, from the window of my bedroom. Was autumn still, was an afternoon, and i saw through my window. I usually look for interesting objects and landscapes and photographed. In fact, yesterday i saw the moon (it looks really beautiful) but i wasn't with the camera. I don't need a special reason, but lately i has feel more connect with photography, because this activity help me to be quiet in spite of i'm full of tasks.
I choose this picture from a old fotolog i created two years ago. I like it because it have awesome colors, looks very real, and it makes me feel i can do everything i want, even something seems difficult. The nature give us all we need, we have to enjoy it. The colors are usual to these time of a day. The sun was coming down and the clouds were moving slowly. To take a photography like that you just need see around you, because i'm amateur but i think is a good one.

My dear career...
I'm studying this career because i has always feel some kind of atraction about humanistic area. When i was in the school i was in this area (besides, exists scientific area and biologic area) and i liked read a lot. However, when i had to make a decision, i realized that i didn't know what study at university. I wanted study Literature, History, English or Law, but i wasn't clear. In fact, i almost chose History. Finally i chose Law because i always wanted know about legal bussiness, i mean, laws at themselves. Moreover, this career offer you a lot of topics to study with. Law includes history and, like you can read in here, english classes.
Another reason to choose Law is that i can get a job in interesting areas, from gubernment job to NGO. About that, i can say that my career can contribute as much as areas exist: Lawyer can help in a company, an organization, a court, parlament, etc. I think that in legal issues always will be a winner and will be a looser, so sometimes could be difficult help to all the society like a unit, at least you work in a international area and when you talk about society you mean your own country.
So, lawyer need special tools to development their job, and can win the bussiness they are defending. One of this tools, maybe the main, is "The gift of the word". Since Ciceron's epoque, and before, lawyers need a good vocabulary to convence with their words.
Other one is get a mayor grade. In this career you need be renovating your knowlegde everytime as everytime appears news laws in the Official Newspaper. So, you have to do some kind of Master in a special area of Laws, for example.
Coming back to my days in the university, my favorite subject actually is called "introduction to Law". In this subject we start with the main legal concepts that everybody should ,at last, hear. Public Law or Private Law, Person, Law theory.

My favorite piece of technology.-
HI again!
About the task:
Two years ago, my grandfather gifted to me the best of the world: A mp3 player. I was in the school, my last year, and he gave it to me because of this.
The mp3 player system is really interesting. It is a little electronic thing, that let you listen to music. How? From your pc, you can download some music (documents and other things too) and transfer it to your mp3 player with the help of an usb cable or directly from the cpu of your pc. You need a couple of batteries, and you are ready to hear your favorite music!
In spite of it have just 1gb of memory, i feel i already discover how amazing music is. Until now, i go everywhere with it, specially when i go in the bus to the University, or when i'm using the computer on my room, when i go for something to the supermarket... the mp3 player use is unlimited!
So, you can deduce that i use it when i have the chance of it. Lately, i has change the mp3 for a book in the bus (homeworks are first).. but i hope come back to its glorious hours (like in the summer!)
In spite of mp3 is great, i think that i can live with out it. I mean, if i lose it, i will be really bored some days, maybe my mood change a little.... It will be complicated, but the worst thing i can't lose is the music. With out it, world could be in troubles.

Welcome!
Once upon a time a girl came from a far away place to study to the Pionono Building. Her name is Valentina Toro Campos, and this is her story.
Well, my name is written in the last phrase :)
I'm from Maipù, and i'm 19 years old. Is my first month in the best law school of Chile.
Until last minutes, my life in the university has been really great, cause i has meet a lot of cool people since my first day in here, mainly when i went to the Mechones meeting.
I have two brothers (Ignacio and Jorge) and a sister(Marcela), all of them are younger than me, so is so nice! jaajja. Also i have two pets, called Almendra and Lulù ( I think that names aren't original at all, but...we have no imagination)
I love english idiom...this is the reason to be in the course. Until a couple of years i thought study something relationed with english, cause everything in my mind was in english.. so hard hit inside of me the idiom. Now, i'm very happy studying law, and like i got the chance of study and practice english at same time, can you imaginate how great it is?
Besides english idiom, i like trip around Santiago with friends. We usually go to Lastarria neighborhood to take ice cream and talk about..life! Walk through Providencia, New York street and anywhere we don't know. Also, i like listen to music and see films.
There is nothing that really i dislike, cause it depend of my mood.
I don't know what else write... for more information talk to me! Is so much better.
