A complicated word

When I hear the word “euthanasia”, I don’t know exactly what to think about, it isn’t simple. To me just the word itself can bring about a range of feelings and emotions that can shift from one extreme to the other.
 
I don’t know any famous cases of euthanasia that I remember in this moment, but when I saw the movie “Mar Adentro” was the first time that I think about this controversial topic. I don’t belong at any religion, so I don’t have to be agree with no one else about it, I can have an opnion by myself.

And for myself personally, I fully believe a terminally ill person has every right to choose a physician-assisted suicide, because no one else can`t feel the pain and the inmense pain that they’re living. The problem with the governments and the modern society in general, I think, it’s that we've over-sensitized ourselves to the point that death is now a taboo subject for the most of the people. Even if we've got somebody close to us who is dying we don’t talk about it and face the inevitable. But we forget a very important think, that this persons are the only one that are living and suffering with the way that they’re living, so they have all the rights to choose if they want to live or die.

Traveling around the world.

Well, the truth is that I’ve always wanted  to travel around the world all my life, and visit every single country of the planet, knowing differents people and cultures. I would have to spend a lot of money or probably make a bank robbery .But i’m realist and I know that it isn’t possible, so I continue dreaming because it’s free.
 I’ve travel abroad a few times, specially I went to Buenos Aires, and I really love that city. However, if i have to travel abroad again, i think that i would choose an Europe’s country, ‘cause there’s a lot of fascinating things to do. Maybe, I would like to visit Greece, I would really enjoy to know the cradle of the occidental culture and gettin’  trhouth Atenas city .
I dont`t know so much about this country, but i know that there was where the greek civilitation develope a lot of important knowing for the present and I really love what they did, specially about culture and arts.
ObviousIy I would like stay as long as possible, probably I would study the language and learn more about the greek traditions, and live there the most part of my life.

Cinema makes me happy

I always thought that the cinema is one of the most special art's expression, because it can shows a lot of varied situations.
 In general I used to watch films at home, because i like too much them, so if i go to the cinema every time that i want, i would probably spend a lot of money. But most of the time i watch them from the computer  and ometimes i go to the cinema too, specially when it`s a movie that i want see so much that i can`t wait to download it from the internet, like specials cycles of cinema or thematics documentals.  I try to watch a movie all the weeks but sometimes it’s difficoult  because i don`t have the time enought.
I haven’t see many chileans films, but there’s one that i liked too much, it was “Fuga” and i like it because shows the life of a musician that was obsessed with a piece of clasic music, so he try to forget it ‘cause it remember him the death of his sister. I recommend it , it’s a very interesting film, that really get into the mind of this sick man and shows the pain in that he lives.
However, i like more the international movies, specially the drama films with  daily thematics. I really love Almodovar’s movies, i think  his movies are so loaded with emotions and reallity. But my favorite director ever is Woody Allen, because all his films have interesting dialogs and characters, his histories will be a little unreal with an untypical comedy , but if you aske me what kind of film i will choose to represent my life, i’ ll say that Woody probably makes a very good version of me.

Summer's Term

Hi everyone, today i'm gonna talk about this new term that i`m going to past this time, because this year was exceptionally movilized for the stundents, and we were on strike among five months, so now i have to recover the time passing the most part of my summer studing in the university. In this term, i only have two months to do my subjets, so i hope it don`t be so terrible.  Currently i`m doing six subjets, a general training course (or CFG) and the english class. I want to be exempt of all of them at the end of the term, this way i could have february and march to pass my vacations with my family. Really, i don`t love the idea of pass christmas time and the new year doing my subjets, but it neather bother me, because i think that the movilizations were for a very important reason.
