Hi everyone!

Well, since ''the end is near'' and its reflection time, I will ummmm.... reflect about my blogger experience. 

 First and foremost, I will talk about my posts. The post I enyoyed the most was hands down the one about my favorite band. Not only it was quite the experience, but also I was with my best friend (and his sister), also, speaking (ummmmm ok writing) about Linkin Park is always a pleasure.

Yet for all that is good, there is also something bad. I.... disliked the person that you admire post, mainly because it was boring, a bit annoying, and to say truth, pretty much farfetched. I mean, its not like academically I have someone that I admire. Specially since I somehow disagree with many people that are part of the geography academical world (they are too old school and by far too cold). Also none are really known. I mean, we dont have a Hawkings-esque schoolar of geography.

Well, now to answer the other questions. The blog I enyoyed reading the most? Well in the first place I didnt read many of my classmates' blogs but one made me laugh (ok, chuckle....manly chuckle) was Pablo's (Barrios) blog. The Freakzoid post in particular. Yet the most attractive blog (mine was boring as .....something very boring, never got to pretty it up) was Pia's blog. Why? Dunno, but it was fun and attractive.


My only regret is that I never personalizated my blog. How sad. I am actually pretty creative once I catch my muse (the wench is always running from me, its tiring to chase her sometimes). I dont think it could have been to hard.... just that never remebered to do it :V

Mmmm... an animation character? Well there are many  that can claim the favorite seat, but the one that wins by a longshot is Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach. A friend of mine recomended me the anime. After a while he lost interest in Bleach, but I continued to watch it. That was 5-6 years ago, and  I am still watching it (and reading the manga (or, comic, for the ones that dont know the difference), and is one of my favorites.

Ichigo himself is the protagonist, and starts as a not-so-normal (he can see ghosts) high school student, but one day, he meets Rukia, a strange girl that says she is a Shinigami, or a Death Reaper, a spirit that help people who have died to pass on the next life. But then a strange monster with a white mask attacks his family (he is scaringly protective of his family, specially his sisters) and Rukia gets hurt trying to defeat the moster. But then she ask Ichigo to take her power to defeat the monster. And so starts Ichigo's story.

Why is he my favorite character? Well, he is helluva protective of his family since his mother died (that plot point is VERY important, as he meets his mother's killer). He remains strong even is he is losing. But the best trait he has is his cause of fighting. He fights to protect people, and even as he growns more and more powerful, he never has nor will seek power for his own gain or use his power to oppress other (unless they, well, are stupid enough to try to harm is friends/family). He despises people who do that, and takes brotherly bond pretty seriously. But even if he says that he doesn't enjoy fighting, he does, and he constantly has to fight his own darkness (that manifest itself as a convenient Super Powered Evil Side, that gives him more power) that claims he does.

My favorite episode is the one that stars the fight of Ichigo vs Grimmjow (the one rival of his that manages to make him accept that he enjoys fighting) aside from the spectacular fight, Grimmjow another endeavoring character himself, and the interactions between the two are pretty good.

Between the films I have watched, the one that I liked the most was A.I. (Artificial Inteligence). I watched it on TV long after its debut, since I don't go too often to the cinema. But when I watched it, I proved to be one of the best films I have seen. The feelings are so well conveyed, and the character is so... vulnerable and real. The film is about a (futuristic) family that buy a Mecha (a human-like robot that can emulate human emotions and feelings) after their son is put in a sort of suspended animation until his rare illness can be cured. The mecha, named David, is starting to develop emotions, real emotions, specially for his ''mother''. But when Martin (the family's son) is cured, a sibling rivality starts, and after some incidents, the father decides to scrap David. But the mother, who started to love David, could not allow this, so she left David and Teddy (a robotic bear plushie that decided to take care of David) in a forest so they could be free, but after being captured, and meeting another mecha running from the police (Joe), they escape and search for the Blue Fairy (the one from  Pinnochio), which David thinks can make them human, so he can go back to his mother without problem. They end up in a submerged Manhattan, and Joe is captured, but not before setting David in a submarine vehicule to search for the Blue Fairy. But as they decend into the water, they find that the Blue Fairy was a fair attraction, and end up trapped under the Wonder Wheel, and David starts to say his wish of becoming human, until him battery charge runs out.

Cue two thousand years later, humans are extinct and Manhattan is buried under several hundred feet of glacial ice. Mechas have evolved and are like a advanced alien-like things. They find

Well..... things I want to do before I die?.... Here is a list:

1.- Travel to Canada or Netherlands, either are fine, because, well, I could like to know those coutries.
2.- Have the full Kingdom Hearts collection. A game series with a awesome story, awesome music and awesome everything really. Why as a before-I-die thing? Because the damned games are like, 4-5 diferent consoles. PlayStation 2, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo 3D, and soon in PlayStaion 3. So... yeah, kinda hard and costly to have all the games. But could awesome.
3.- Meet and talk to J.K. Rowling. Why? Harry Potter anyone?
4.- Punch a certain person in the face. Don't ask who. I hate him.
5.- Be ridiculously sarcastic for a full week. Just to annoy people.
6.- Take something, something, seriously.
7.- Eat the 3 culinary delicacies (Caviar, Fois Gras and Truffle). To decide if they are delicacies or not.
8.- Go to Turkey. How could I forgot? Turkey sweets are my favorites.
9.- Attend to more Linkin Park. Favorite Band, of course.
10.- At this rate, graduate from this damned college before I die of depression or unmotivation.

Well, that is it. It was surprisingly hard :V

Someone of my family? mmmm I'll speak about my uncle Claudio. He is my father's brother, is 31 years old, he is an architect, and is currently studing abroad in France to get dual nationality (my family from my father's side is half-french, and my father and Claudio are the last generation that can opt for dual nationality, curse my luck) and a doctorade (was it? I kinda forgot).

He is living there with his french girlfriend Charlotte, who he meet here, in Chile. He has been there little more that a year, and will stay there for more that he through, since they offered him anohter Post-Grade Title... cue my great-parents having a weird case of pride and horror... since they, well, loves their children.

He studied here in FAU, and he did some optional courses at Architecture about, well, architecture. He also worked at the Extention office here too. He  is a pretty laid back person, likes to party and have fun, but is serious about work and study. We get along almost all the time, except when I am playing video games, because he is rather... prejuicious of games, but aside from that we get along pretty fine.

Last time I saw him was in June, when he had vacations in France, he came here with Charlotte for around 2 weeks, and he gathered to eat in a Restaurant, and after they went 2 weeks to Brazil, and them back to France. He still a long ways from returning to Chile, if he doesnt decides to stay there, so who knows?

Since, Facebook doesn't not open in this bloody bad internet, no photos for anyone!

Party! or not?

Weeeeeeeeell. Parties. I am not much of a party person, I dont like to get drunk in the first place ( not for the hangover, but because I lose control and I start to act emmm reckeless and in general I end up being a public danger, plus my mouth becomes a disaster area for how much nonesense I speak), but since I am the tipe of person that likes to eat, laugh and chat wiht my friend, we generally end up doing barbecues and hot dogs and such.

Also, since I am aparently the only one that knows how to cook (lethal cooks are rather numerous in my close circle of friend, one even managed to burn a microwave burrito, how, I wonder), or actually the only that has the will to cook, I end up doing everything that means doing something with uncooked food. Of course, they capitalize cooked food, the lazy bastards. Most of the time, I make pizzas, hot dogs, burgers, barbecues, and such food that is easy to make and get them full. I never cook something more fancy for big number since that could be costly, but sometimes I go to hang out at my best friend (JP, from the Linkin Park) house and I cook fancy things there. Like tuna, chinese food, sushi, etc.

But in general, the gatherings ( I deny them being parties, they dont qualify to be parties) are, in this order: They arrive, I cook, we play Nintendo Wii or PS3 while we eat, and some stay overnight and we go to play soccer in the morning. Really, sometimes we do something different, but generally that is it.

A Present?

I think that my most valued present is a plant fossil that my best friend gave me for my 19° birthday! Its was awesome! Really, since I am a big fossil fan ( actually I could have studied Archeology or Paleontology if it were possible, but here in Chile those fields aren't developed at all) and I have only had a couple of fossils that I found in my College trips. So obviously I was pleased. Plus since it was my best friend, and well, he knows me well enough to know what I like, because really almost nobody know my tastes. Go figure.

 Well, that is the fossil in question ( not really, in the image its only a look-alike I found in google, mine is a bit low quality compared to this one). A fossilied plant of inmemoriable ages ago... Its like a testimony of the changes that have happened in the earth, and the real wonder for me is the fact that something so easy to break , to make dissapear, and it is still there, preserved in stone, like a dried flower in a  book. But well, enough rambling, this was one of the most important presents I have been gifted. Not costly, not fancy, but really, really important. It makes a fine collection with my others fossil I have found ( a amonite and a seashell). I figured that had to take of it better that the others so it passes most of the time in a box in my room, with the other fossils.
