Tornatore's lover

The title is just that. I'm not the lover of nobody :)

I never thougt about the kind of movies that I like. I just see it and fall in love of them, I cry, laugh and even I fell fear.
When I was a little girl my dad used to take me to the cinema and We stood hours there, even after the movie. We talk about the amazing thigs that We saw.
But, now I'm a big girl, and I stood home to see the movies that I see in the cinema once. So, if you ask me what I prefer I can't answer with the true. I love both.

My first "movie-love" was Mathilda. I was a little girl and I though that I might be able to move things with my eyes and have a teacher called "Honey". But all change when I saw :"Cinema paradiso" and a few years later "Big Fish"

About the Chilean films: I have not clue about this kind of films. I mean, I've seen many Chilean films, but I'm not in a position to criticize. I love " Se arrienda", "que pena tu vida" and "Promedio rojo".

The film that has left a trace upon on me is... Cinema Paradiso and Big Fish :)
Why? Just because yes is the reason.

Nuovo cinema Paradiso is a Italian film written and directed by Giuseppe Tornatore.
A little about the plot:

"During the 1980s in Rome, Italy, famous Italian film director Salvatore Di Vita (Jacques Perrin) returns home late one evening, where his girlfriend sleepily tells him that his mother called to tell him that someone named Alfredo (Philippe Noiret) has died. It is made clear that Salvatore tends to shy away from committed relationships and that he has not been back to his home village of Giancaldo, Sicily in 30 years. As she asks him who Alfredo is, Salvatore flashes back to his childhood."

"Understanding the Brain: The birth of a Learning Science"

Dr. Maldonado talks about a lot of myth really interestig and fascinating, for example he talk about the myth that you only can learn until the old of three, or that the brain of a men is different of a women. Myhts that stay in the conscience of all the people.
But, actually more interesting that the myths was how they become alive. It's impressive how we stay "back" in the news discover and how the things are involved in our perception.

"This inevitably leads to faulty interpretation, questionable extrapolation, and, more generally, the genesis of falses ideas"

Improve your memory!

When I read this part of the chapter I think that the person that fall in this slogan didn't read "Brave New World " of Aldous Huxley. The first thing that you see is a scene when they try to teach minwhile the person is sleeping. Of course, didn't work out.

I always hear this myth, but I also knew that was a big lie.

Well, is not a complete lie, but is not a great idea for learn, because you always join all the senses for put in your memory something for not forget.
But is better if you stay awake in class :) and much better if you do a concepts map after, because increase the ability of resolve problems. This work activate different areas of the brain during the process.

So, in conclusion you can not belive all that you read.

Stress!

We can define stress as a physiological reaction of the body to deal with a situation perceived as threatening or increased demand. It is a natural and necessary response for survival.

Stress's symptoms

-Peripheral vasoconstriction
-mydriasis
-tachycardia
-tachypnea
-slowing intestinal motility

All these mechanisms are developed to increase the chances of survival in a near-term threat, not to be kept indefinitely, as happens in some cases. n the medium term, the sustained alertness may cause diseases.

The stressors or triggers of stress can be any stimulus, external or internal (physical, chemical, auditory or somatic and obviously, the life in general) that directly or indirectly conducive to destabilize the dynamic equilibrium of the body.

To combat stress is recommend breathing exercises. The goal is to exercise voluntary control over breathing, so we use it as a painkiller when we overwhelm the stress.

Usually the doctor say "Stay away of stress situation" That makes me laught. How could I stay away? The life give us a lot of difficult situation, but te really importan is that all hace solution

Celebrations, Healthy lifestyle & more !! :)

In our country, big celebrations comes with a big and delicious food.
And for been more specific, in my family the celebrations are longs. Very.

I think that, even when you have a family like mine, It is possible have a healthy lifestyle. And I'm not talking about diet or kill us because we are hungry. And the time is not a excuse for not do sport, because I'm a hard believer that if we organize our time well, we can do everything. - Sadly, I'm not one of these people, buy one day I'm gonna be the real example of the thing that I'm saying.-

The thing that I'm trying to say is that the only thing that we really need to do is
do sport and have a healthy diet. It is normal that you, once in time, "get out" of
youre healthy diet, but if you always do something more that sitting by the computer all is gonna be ok.

But, more than be slim, for have a healthy lifestyle we need a "healthy brain". Youre happiness It's more important. Even what you wear, and what do you do have a influence in youre happiness. You have to do everything the thing that you want do.

It is hard, but you have give yourself a gift once in time.

My Get-Away

When I was little, my family and I always traveled to Temuco. There we had cows, for that reason my dad always had to go.
I remember that we stayed three or four weeks at my aunt's house.

The house was big and old, the wooden floor sounded "crash, crash" when you walked on every morning I wake up with the moo of a cow.

In the morning I loved feel the smell of freshly baked bread and the warmth of the wood stove. My aunt also always sang old ballads of love minwhile she was preparing lunch.

It always makes me smile that my aunt started very early to prepare food, and in a 2 *3 all disappeared into our mouths.

After breakfast I came out to the "backyard" and I stayed under a tree reading, sleeping or perhaps repeating the ballad of my aunt.

It was the only place where I did not care if I listen music, watch movies and go to bed early.
Even that I liked beacuse when I should go to bed early, the next day we were going to milk. The funny thing is I did not like (and do not like) milk so fresh and natural.


It wasn' t a extraordinary place, much less to go as a tourist, but I loved it.
Years ago we stopped going. The aunt died and dad sold the cows. The place became property of a lost cousin.
But still, there are times when I close my eyes and I can feel the voice of Aunt : "Me escondes el pijama y extiendes el mantel, un descuido y tus regalos se manchan de café"

The first post...ñe.

I could not decide the topic

Le Grand Cahier

A few years ago I read "Le Grand Cahier" of Agota Kristof. For being fully honest I would not recomended this book to all kind of people, especially those that are really sweet and sensitive.

It's the story of twins during what appears to be WW II (although it's never identified). They are dropped off at their grandmother's house in the Little Town by their mother who can`t take care of them.

The novel is a kind of journal written by the twins as an exercise. They do this kind of things with the idea of being totally unfeeling.

How I said: This is not a book for the faint-hearted, because talks about the horrible things that go on in the home front during a war, and how this kind of times brings out the worst in the human been: reveals the monster that all of us have in the inside.

Actually, I have not idea why I'm talking about it. Maybe because this book affect me like no other book has. I reallized that I'm a lucky girl that have dreams and the possiblity of make them real.


Music

I loooooove the music. Really, my life would not be life without music. All kind...
well... maybe not all kind (reggnblanf, blanftonton ñe...I can hear it at a party, but beyond NEVER). I usually get music of everywhere. I meet people and I said to them "Give me music" and they usually do. I think that the music It's a good way to meet people.
One of the things I love most of the music is that you can listen at any time minutes. And this is because there are different classes and each is suitable for every occasion.

The end :)

Blogging Experience...

Hi! This is my last post.

I never have a blogg before, so it was a really interesting experience.

I had to learn million things that I never imagined. Really I'm not a good-cyberspace-traveller. And the technology doesn't my friend.

I love writing about my experiences, however It is difficult if is public or with particular subject.
I really don't like that we weren't able to choose the subject. I love writing, but if it is with no rules.
If I have chosen the topic, it would have been able to write more.

But not everything was dark and difficult... jé! This experience allow me think and speak at length related about my course. And I realized that I love it. I fall over it, each day that passes and each time that I know more about it.
I don't know if this help me with my english problem...I have a terrible phonetics and, obviously, the blog doesn't make you speak in public, so I never put in prove.

The best thing of have a blogg is that you can develop closer relationships with colleagues, writing stuff to you're friends velociraptors.

That is all.
The end
at least!
