Platonic Job

I think that my ideal job would be playing video games as a critical columnist, because I’m addicted to them, especially the ones that are online and you need a lot of time to finish them. First of all you need the guts to play and play without getting bored,  secondly you need to maintain a healthy way of living since playing video games all day long could affect your organism, and  finally you need writing skills in order to keep your columns viewed and in constant discussion.

I would be good because I have these essential characteristics, plus the fact I’m not bonded to any video game console so I would be neutral by the time you need to review any game.

It’s so hard to find a job like these, there’s a low chance to get it since the actual vacancy is near 0, so at the end this would be my   “platonic Job”.

Hoping you will like my entry :D

Sincerely, Alan.

Just can't get enough.

About the English class, I enjoyed every time that I went to them, because most of the classes were activities with a ludic purpose, so I was never bored. The use of blogs was a dynamic way to improve your knowledge and practicing without having to use ancient or repetitive methods. Also it was a way to let to my teacher and other classmates know something about me, because most of the blogs were related to personal affairs.

I think that my worst error is not being constant about practicing my English, so when I reach a good level I always step back. Not to mention that otherwise of the class, you don’t have enough practice methods in order to improve or at least practice what have you learned.  Finally it became necessary to get out of the country to improve, backed up on a need context.

I try to use my English in most than one occasion (I mean, seeing movies without subtitles or playing games with English voices or establish communications with foreign people via Skype) but you just never get enough, because most of these activities are circumstantial.  

Finally you can say that you will never be fully practiced, because in my opinion, if you don’t get out of Chile is near impossible to back up a good level of English knowledge. This could be different if your principal activity in life is related to this language (Like being teacher or an English translator).

Hoping that you will find my opinion useful,  sincerely.  

Wishing Well.

It's kind of difficult to recall only one good thing that happened to me, since I have plenty, most of them when I was a child; People continuously say that when you are a child is the best time of your life, because you don’t have problems or things that you need to take care of. Well I kind of support that idea. The last good thing that I recall is the birth of my niece (I also wrote an entry about it).

Bad things happen also, taking the benefit of doubt I think the last bad thing that happened to me is failing a test which I studied like a damned for, it felt so bad to fail that  I  even cried.

I hope my achievements will stay related to being a good student, approving most of the classes and keeping a good relationship with my parents also I wasn’t the best boyfriend for my girl so I have plenty of time to achieve that :P, otherwise I could be in problems

.

The most important thing that I would like to highlight is the possibility of making a trip in the summer to San Diego, California, since I have school friends there and they invited me, so I am very happy and hoping to find a way to make money that will allow me to go there.

Wishing that you would like this entry, sincerely. Alan. :D

Moral Dilemma

I learnt to being "Green" from people at the university, where’s the place when you  find that kind of guys, since they’re related to some kind of green political party, and there is when they teach about being concerned about environmentally issues. I’m not that involved because they lack of common sense with certain themes (those that involve animal treatment for example)

I kind of recycle but not on regular basis, because I think that needs a lot of time, time to incorporate this behavior to your habits and time to dedicate to being organized. I’m kind of lazy so when I see the opportunity to recycle I just do it.

Car issues are hard for me, because I’m addicted to them, especially old American cars, such as Chevy Impala, Dodge Charger and list continues. You should know that these cars are heavy environment contaminants so I’m in a moral dilemma about that topic; I just prefer not to think about it.

 About eco-organizations, I think they’re politically influenced, so they don’t fulfill the purpose of being green at a hundred percent, they should be like worldwide foundations, such as WWE or UNESCO, when the topics of discussion are entirely related to seek a profit for the planet, and nothing else to bargain with.

 Finally, I think people in Santiago should be more concerned about this topic, there are a lot of ways to help environment even from your house, if you’re heavy contaminator in some topics you should compensate with another in order to maintain some balance that could help the planet to survive a little longer.

Here comes the Money!

I have always thought that money isn't that important when I was a kid, because most of the time my parents afford all these things that I wanted. But when growing, responsability comes with debts so nowadays  I have a very high consideration for money.

Most of the time my expenses are related to the University, because it is kind of everything that I do these years, so being meticulous I would say that printings, scholar items, bip charges and sometimes party-related costs are everything that I have to pay.

Im not that good as my mother, so I think that the better way to have savings is giving the money to her. For a time I thought that I was good  at having this piggy made of clay filled with low-value coins, but in the end I realized that my parents were better cause they could save money directly from the bank.

If I were a millonaire I think that most of the money would be spent between charity events and speculation in wall-street, this last thing in order to maintain the flow of money needed by these fundations.

I think pawning is kind of a dirty economical move, since most of the time people don't recover their items so only if Im having a gun pointed at my head I would consider this option.

Hope you enjoyed my review, byes! :D

Yesterday's Elections

The news that I selected it's linked to the results of the Presidential Elections which took place in Chile, yesterday. Michelle Bachellet obtained near the 50% of the total votes but it wasn't enough to win in the first round of the elections, so the second one will take place in December 17th, when she will be competing against Evelyn Mattei, who obtained the second majority of votes, leaving behind in third and fourth place Marco Enriquez-Ominami and Franco Parisi respectively.

The piece also contains anecdotic information about the female candidates, who despise of being politically contrary, both has similar backgrounds (like having family related to the FF.AA [Fuerzas Armadas], for example).

Mattei’s confidence is linked to the run-off voters who in the recent elections voted for someone else but don’t want to go for Michelle Bachellet in the next round , so she’s making sure to incorporate something of their campaigns   in order to obtain legitimacy.

It’s also makes reference about the electoral roll, which is near 13.6 million, but only 6 million voted.

What’s strictly is going to do Mattei to obtain those votes? Can she surpass the 20% mark what separates Bachellet from her? These questions will be answered sooner or later by the Chilean people.

Pact with the Devil

 Of course that i will vote, actually i have to, since i'm member of the comitee designed to receive the votes from people, so im kind to forced to do it in certain way. Voting is so important due it's meaning, you will have people representing your will for like four years so better you do it very aware on who you will vote.

Electoral campaingns disgust me, the candidates expend too much money in propaganda that will be trashed sooner or later, money that could be used for other purposes, such as helping people in need and public policies.

A public position is a role that should be runned by a person with integrity, moral values and who cares for people, if you're gonna fit it thinking that you can make profit in the charge actually is a lack of value, but also a possibility, so the filters should be strenghthened in order to maintain that kind of people out of the public environment.

Yes, I  considered it once but now I think that the political class is unique in a structure bonded to some kind of "elite", so I prefer to help people from inside the "system", one that is open to every person who want to help.

My constructive criticism is: don't throw people's money in unnecessary propaganda!, also don't make "pacts with the devil" in order to being elected, since you will be binded to their will the entire period.
