English Language

I like to learn things and learning English it´s not the exception, but one thing that I hate of this English classes are the schedule of it, I mean, taking classes all Fridays in the afternoon it´s not the best idea, because all that you want is take a breath of every day’s obligations, and you are not with the energy that you need to learn new things.  However I think that my favorite part of English classes were the blog´s writings, because you can express your feelings and ideas about a certain topics and watch the same of your classmates. 

I think that I know how to read, write and hear the English language: I think that it is in those areas that I’m good at, and I think that I am good because I am always reading English texts, hearing English people talking in movies or singing in the songs, etc. My weakest point is the speaking, but I think that these English classes have been useful to me in this way, because we have been practicing speaking in almost every class. I don´t have any plan to improve my spoken English outside of this course, because I think that it´s not too important to me at this time. Also, my spoken English is no so poor, and I think that I can manage myself if I have to speak in English in the future. 

I think that English is important these days because this language has become a sort of universal language in our world… for example, if you want to communicate with a Japanese, its more probable that he or she know English and it’s less probable that you know Japanese, so it’s useful. And also you can use it to read English papers when you want to stay update in certain topics, and for thousands of other things.

This year

To be honest I don´t like to classify the things that happen in my life as “good” or “bad”, because if you look deeper you can realize that what we usually call “bad things” brings out many times spectacular opportunities and experience. So I like to think that way (but it´s hard!).  However you can obviously realize the good and bad things that happen to you at least in the superficial dimension. This year I made my first assistantship in course at university, so that gave me some experience and knowledge that I appreciate. Also, I have approved all the courses that I have taken, so I feel good about that.  I think that a bad thing that happened to me this year is something related with my career: last year I was enthusiastic about develop my professional practice in the clinical psychology area, but lately I have been dubious about that, so right now I am little lost about it.

I don´t know what my achievements could be jaja… when I pass from one year to another I don´t expect nothing in particular, and I think that that it´s a legitimate way of seeing future. However, it´s true that I have general wishes when I pass to a new year, like being happy, enjoy times with people I love and that, and I think that this year have gone this way, so I’m glad about that.

An important event that I would like to highlight this year (and that its related with my personal life) is the surprise birthday that my family organized to me, in which they contacted my old school friends and was really beauty. 

Was Jesus an extraterrestrial?

To be honest I think that I have never read a book which pretends to reveal secrets in history, but I do know about some of them. For example, there is an spanish author called Juan José Benitez who have written an extremely long book saga about the life and passion of Jesus Christ (called “Caballo de Troya”), revealing his secret life and the struggles he has to pass in his lifetime, things that are absent in the historycal and traditional body of knowledge (I mean, these kind of things are not detailed in the bible, and even the scientific evidence about the existence of Jesus is controversial).

The interesting thing about JJ Benitez is his close relationship with the ufology issue, in fact, he used to be in the 70s a recognized jounalist focused in these kind of topics. So, in his saga he talks about Jesus´ life in a third view perspective, and he try to link (implicitly) the relationship between him and the extraterrestrial life. It´s weird, I know.
Obviously, Benitez has recieved a lot of questioning about his work, but he has said that certain parts of the books are fiction, but the most part of the history is truth.

I don´t know if it´s truth o not, because I have not read the saga, but if I have the chance I will take a look on the books. But I think that these kind of things must be read with an open and curious mind, because if they are not true, at least you can pass a great time reading them.

Green People

I think that I am not what ussualy people call as a “green person”, because I dont do the things that are generally associated with that name. I am not the kind of people who avoids eating animals, or the kind of people that are concerned about recycle and stuff, even when I consider those actions as really valuable and admirable.

I think people learn these kind of practices in their families, although there are exceptions. For example, my family have never been a “green” one, but my brother became vegetarian a few months ago, even when we all love to eat meat. So I think that becoming a green person depends mostly of your personal values, and of the desire to respect them.

I use public transport instead of a car, but the main reason of this is because I hate the stress created by the driving and, by the other hand,  Santiago is full of cars everywhere, so if I can avoid to drive cars, the better. I dont have a license in fact, so I cant anyway.

To reduce my carbon footprint I have stopped to breath jaja. No, I dont know, I always get concerned about turn off the lights that are not being used, or sometimes unplug the electrodomestics at night. I think that Santiago cant be a green city because they are all hurried and worried from here to there, and stressed of becoming successful and that blind them from seeing the really important things, like keep our enviroment clean and breatheable.
