Sailor Moon


Anime is a Japanese animation. It´s so different from Disney´s cartoons , because of the subject and culture it comes from (It comes just from Japan)
I used to watch anime in the past. When I was te. I remember my mom didn´t like I watched them, so I was waited for her to go to turn the TV on.
It´s a very ample expansión a different world of fun mixed with a cultural phenomena.
“Sailor moon” is mainly drawn by a computer. A big feature or characteristc is represented big their pictures of the big eyes and weird hair.
It represents the life of 5 Japanese teenagers in Tokio.
They go t secundary school, and they live a normal life, but suddenly, evil comes to their live and it takes a form of demon, so as to face and struggles this evil they trasform thenselves becoming sailor scouts, each one of them represanting the solar system.
This influence is refered to try to extreme my inner potentic lities. That´s the one big lesson. I´ve learnt from this anime.

The earth has a headache


I think we learn about looking after the environment just walking by the streets, some neighborhoods or slums. It´s a shame to watch all kind of garbage thrown wherever, in spite of having many garbage cans.
In relation to my recycling habits, I always respect the rules when I look at a sign warning not to throw trash on the grass, or streets.
Where I live, there are different cans to put all kind of glasses, cartons, aluminium tins, plastics, and also biodegradable stuff.
I often ride my bike to go to some places where there are cyclo paths. But, if there aren´t I´d better walk as much as I can.
Actually, I haven´t supported neither joined any eco-organisations. This is because I´m fond of animals, so in my scarce free time I help as a member of an animal protection society.
I´d like to belong to any eco-organisation, and as a fact, I´ll do all the needed procedures to become a member of one of them as soon as possible.
Some of the measures I have taken so as to try to reduce this are the following:
Not taking, as much as possible, public transportation
Increasing my physical activities
Riding my bike
Recycling
Not using electrical appliances too much
I think it´s obvious that what´s missing not only in Santiago, but also in most of the cities in Chile is related to the few cyclo paths but most of all, be aware of the danger that implies to leave such unwanted footprint to our world and new generation.

Music from the 60`s is one of the best of all.


I think music from the 60`s is one of the best of all.
My favourite singers and bands from that time are many,but to name just some of them,here are the following: Simon and Garfunkel,The Beatles,Carole King,The Bee Gees, The Mamas and The Papas,The Rolling Stones,Elvis Presley.
What I like most of them,particularly from Simon and Garfunkel,are their wonderful lyrics of two songs,which are "Old friends" and "Dangling conversation".
I must quote that my name,Michelle was chosen by my mom,due to one of The Beatles`s greatest song..."Michelle".It`s so sweet and tender !!!
Well,there`s a huge difference between nowadays music from the one I`m talking about.
Now,we mainly listen to music which in a way,reports our lifestyles,injustice,human poverty,related to a very simple life,as well as a chaotic world situation. But,I guess this is to be understood.Actually,our world has become to be just this: a CHAOS.
In relation to the influence the music of the 60`s has transferred to the new musical groups,I`ve alwas had the conviction that all type of music has been mostly influenced by Negro Gospels.From then on,music changed for ever.Music has become to be a way of catharsis,and why not,if our world has changed in such an evil way.
I`m sure that the music from the 60`s bridges a huge and important gap between me and my family. We only have to listen to their favourite music,and compare it to our music nowadays,to understand how different was the reality they were living.And,in this way,we do understand each other much better,indeed.
I`m really happy to have been born in the 90`s.
But,in spite of that,I`ve learned very much about my family and that beloved music: their way of living,or facing problems and fun...I think almost everything I care of nowadays.

David Thewlis: The secret Surrealist




The subject I chose from "the Guardian" is realated to this man called "the new surrealist" He just ended a busy year, playing aung San Suu Kyi`s husband, in an exhuberant biopic.
The main question about this is: Is he actually dreaming of being the next Buñuel?
Talking about his amazing film "The Lady", I could say it was produced in 2011, it lasts 132 minutes, the director´s name is Luc Besson, and the cast is a follows: Benedict Wong, David Thewlis, Jonathan Woodhouse, Jonathan Ragget and Michelle Yeoh

"The Lady" is a powerful account of the personal and political struggles of the burmese democracy campaigner, Aung San Suu Kyi
At the film´s heart lies the relationship between this woman and her husband, Dr. Michael Aris, a marriage that must, somehow, span the years of enforced separation, while Suu Kyi was under house arrest, and the cancer that caused Ari´s death in 1999.

"My Heart felt absolutely on fire", a famous sentence stated by Thewlis.I think all of you guess what he want to say.

To end up, I must go back a little in time, to tell you that, completing the film, he
thought he had done very little. So, he travelled around Europe, trying some painting and writing.
He has worked in both, films and television, earing a reputation as one of the finest actors, too.

MY DREAMS ARE COLORFUL.


Dreams are a part os our subconscious, our troubles, preoccupations which generally are not part of our daily life, but they somehow weigh and hide in deeper places.
Coincidences, though I don´t doubt there are people who have this gift or abilities to interpret them.
I´ve never had premonitory dreams, but I´ve met some people who dad. I´d rather think they are just coincidences, but I respect different opinions about this subject.
I frequently have repeated dreams, for example, one in which I feel trapped, and I cannot scream out, though I try hard, or that someone is trying to catch me, so it might be related to my fears which I don´t reflect day by day.
The word “dream” is a wonderful one, because it generates hope and goes beyond our subconscious. They mean our aims, what we expect from life, from our country and society.
I´ve always thought that dreaming is the best we have in our lives, because it creates that drop of hope we all need to generate changes.
I dream of a more fair, equalitary society…I dream of poverty stops at last, the same as hate, that must be off our hearts, and brotherhood and fraternity come soon, as well as the possibility to build a new kind of reality. Day by day we have the change to construct a better world, have a better kind of living, and make everyone feels better, happier. I guess it is just a matter of good will, to put a little grain of sand, because I´m sure we can do it. Now it´s time

Travelling


Travelling.One of the main dreams all os us have got sometimes.Discover new worlds,new cultures,as well as breathing new air...
Particularly,I`m sure one of the most beautiful and pleasant things in this workd is right this,just knowing and visiting new worlds.
One of the countries I`d like to visit most of all is Cuba.I`ve always dreamt of knowing,getting closer of that kind of magic Island,full of misteries,revolutions,styles of life,so different to ours.
I`m aware about the history of the Cuban people,,its leaders,its revolution...but,it`s never the same being outside.Thats why,I`d like to breathe the air of its beaches,each one of its corners,be right there at Revolution Square,and so many other places.
I`ve always wanted to be there so as to study Cinema,or just to get some post degree studies,bescause Educational System in Cuba is something which is outsanting,and exceeds many places around the world,because of its concerning of State and Cultural bases.
I`m sure my dream sometime will come true...It`s just to get the wisdom and advantage to know how to be patient and wait....and,obviously,to gather some money

The world of cinema and TV.




I must begin saying that I love Cinema,moreover,since I study it.
From every type of films I think Cinema is fundamental to creativity and memory,besides It´s a way to entertaining and creation of new worlds.
Television is a complex subject because it´s a very important media to generate deceaving contents,too many lies told and besides it´s a very powerful dangerous stream,if it´s used as today.
I usually don´t rent movies,I just watch them on the internet,sometimes I buy them such as underground(I must confess...),or by cable T.V....The best movie I have ever seen ,at least,related to Documentary films,is called The battle Of Chile,and about fiction drama,Cinema Paradise.Most of what I like of The Battle of Chile is the way its portrayt our country ,pre,during and post the Military Dictadure,where all facts are so werll described,and most of all,it rescues the historical sense ,the culture and memory of our country.
Well,Cinema Paradise is a film which makes us all to love cinema more,it´s actually a movie to watch.
I don´t really like Chilean T.V. I feel like it just is dedicated to treat women as objects ,as also to create wrong speeches to shelter the government which is in its turn,to tell many lies,and generate as well a lot of television garbage.
There´re some programmes I may rescue some,such as "The Eighties",Or "The Cardinal files",but,regretfully,we don´t even know if these type of programmes will be supported any more.
If I were to make a film about my life,I´d try to portrait many people through my life story,ordinary problems,the obvious theme to try to get out in spite of all obstacles,and living life to the top,such as if it
were the lasst day of my life.
