Shut up!!


It was a very hard choice but I chose the french movie Tais Toi! (It means "shut up") by Francis Veber, you have to see this movie, is very funny and the two main actors are Gérard Depardieu and Jean Reno, both are frech but the are very known in the northamerican and european cinema. (The man in the iron mask, The Da Vinci code, etc)
I like comedies a lot, because comedy makes me feel different and can change my state of mind no matter what. For example when I have a fight with my boyfriend or I don't get good grades I always try to see comedies to cheer me up, they don't fix my problems but they make me take them differently.
The first time I saw this movie was like two years ago in the tv, and I laughed a lot and had a great time. The theme of the movie is about the relationship of this two men and what unnexpected things happend to make it a friendship. It is also very funny because you get surprised with the amazing innocence or sometimes stupidity of a man, and how it can charm other people.
I hope you see it and enjoy it as I did.
See you

Funny commercial

Hi, well, today we have to choose the best commercial we have seen and, I don't know if this is the best one, but I remember that I laughed a lot when I saw it.
It is about how men like to drink beer, especially Heineken, because it is a Heineken advertising.
I saw this like few years ago, and the funny thing is that the message that you can get is that Heineken makes men as crazy as clothes make girls.
I personally think that clothes do not make girls that crazy, or not everyone but that is how men most see us. And of course, you never get to see those expressions and screaming with men so it is very funny.
This kind of commercials are very sexists which I don't like, but I don't care, it's too funny to watch, and I am not a big fan of clothes, so I think I would be happier with the beers closet.
I hope you like it too. See you!!
Sorry about "verry funny" it was in the video.

The earthquake


The night of the earthquake I was in my hometown, Iquique enjoying a party with my twin brother and lots of friends, when a friend recieved a call of his dad who was in Santiago and told him about the eartquake, just two minutes after it happened.

My brother and I went home to call people we care about like my best friend, my boyfriend and our brother and sister who live here.

The next day and week was very sad because of the things that TV was showing and people we know loosing their houses and everything.

We worked in the Iquique stadium recolecting clothes and food to send to the south of Chile, and tried to call and see if everyone we know was ok.

When I came to Santiago I worked in the Fech, doing some charity works and now in classes we have been making our design proyects to help the people in Iloca.

Now people is saying that there is another huge earthquake going to happend in the north of Chile so I am very worried about it, I hope nothing happens there.
Let's help out country, good luck.
