This is the end

This is gonna be the last post of my first blog, is incredible how this semester has past, flying!

Of all of the post that we have to write, the one that I like the most was "a journey" because it made me remember every detail of a great trip, maybe the best one, to an amazing place.

On the other side, it was a little more difficult for me to write about a place to eating out, because I don´t go very often to eat out of my house, less to the same place more than once, so I finally wrote about an icecream store.

I love the post about a movie, it was hard for me to chose a movie, only one movie to talk about, because ther are so many that I would love to recomend. I did not only enjoyed to  write it, but I also enjoyed reading my classmates´s post, because every post added a new movie to my movies list to watch. I specially enjoyed reading, Felipe and Bastian´s blogs, maybe because they have different preferences and taste than me, their posts were more interesting to me.

I find atractive the Natalia´s blog because of the total design and I like a lot the watercolor background image from the Constanza´s blog, it is beautifull.

I think I did not dislike anything of these new experience of the blog writting, because it helps me a lot to practice and improve in theenglish learning, exercising the spelling and I enjoyed doing it.



Goodbye everyone, have a good year end and a better new one!
enjoy the holidays!

Fubiz

Few years ago I started to use"Reader" from google apps, a virtual place where you can save your favorites blogs and websites and look up for new ones according to your preferences. That´s how I found a lot of good websites and blogs,  like Fubiz (www.fubiz.net) a website that I always remember and visit once in awhile. It´s  a french site, but you can chose between french and english language.
I like a lot the great variety of high quality images and videos that they share on the site, about genial inventions, ideas, art, music, incredible places, design, photography, arquitecture, cinema, etc.

On the site you can revise the archives from the 2005 organized by years, or go to "galleries" and search images by categories: photography, advertising, print, typography, street art, product design, architecture and fashion. In the home page you can see the latest post or also search by categories, like animation, design, graphic, inspiration, interactive, motion, music, print and technology.


If you enjoy watching good and creative audiovisuals contents on a organized and well design web platform, you will enjoy this website.

Judith


This painting is called Judith and it was painted by the austrian symbolist painter Gustav Klimt. This is a symbol of the "femme fatale" the manipulative woman, her power is her beauty and sensuality.

With a couple of friends, I had to reproduce this painting at the school, and that was the first time I saw it. Obviously we didn´t even got closer to the original, but we made the attempt. That work obligated me to observe more carefully the little details of the painting.  Their gold paint applications, Then it started to like me.

Another painting that I like a lot is one of the impresionist Claude Monet, Le Bassin aux nymphéas, harmonie verte (The Waterlily Pond, green harmony). The last days of his life, while his sight was getting worst because of the cataracts, he made a serie of paintings of his own garden, where he had a beautiful estanque full of nenufares and crossed by a lovely japanesse bridge, wich is portrayed on this painting. I like the atmosphere of his paintings, join with the colours that he chose.

Hombre mirando al sudeste / Man facing southeast

The last movie I watch was "Hombre mirando al sudeste", an old drama/fiction science argentine movie (from the 1986). The movie is about Rantes (the actor Hugo Soto) a men that went voluntary to a psychiatric hospital saying that he was sended from other planet to study the human stupidity. The dr. Julio Denis (the actor Lorenzo Quinteros) from the hospital get interested on him and start to doubt about his own mental health.

I watch it in my house download from internet and I enjoyed it because it make me think about the facility of the human race to name somebody crazy, because we don´t understand him or because we don´t believe wath he said. That´s not exactly the theme of the movie but it makes me think about it.

The movie also have some humor, a different humor from the chilean, that made me laugh too. I recomend it, this movie don´t have the biggest latest effects or a good image quality but I think you will enjoy it.
