"english language challenge"

English in university... well, to be honest, this is the very first english class I have in university. When I did the english test after I got accepted in my career, I got English III so here I am. Sure, I'd have enjoyed it more if I'd had the opportunity of ACTUALLY being in a classroom, speaking english directly with the professor, and if i wouldn't had as many problem as I had when I had to connect to virtual classes. But, despite of that, it was interesting, I really learned and solve a few questions I had in classes and I really, really like to write in english, so blogging helped me. My english isn't perfect, at the contrary, I think i have a lot of vocabulary problem and my gramatic sucks, but I defend myself. I learned english on my own, I entered the internet very young and my father works in ships, so he has to travel a lot with other people and had to learn to speak english, and he help me to start learning too. I learned thank to music and movies, but, I

stop putting women against each other!

lately it seems that a new competition was born in Chile with respect to Chilean female pop. Who’s better? Paloma Mami, Francisca Valenzuela, Princesa Alba? but my real question is Does it really matter? What with put women against each other AS ALWAYS?  not only in pop music, but in art in general, there has always been a competition between women, everytime a new pop star comes out, news paper and television create whole enmity between the girls who are already in the media and the new addition. while, when we talk about male artist this is not really important, somehow, all man fix just right in the public eye, doesn't matter how many of them are. it is necessary to mention who is the best woman, because this is uncommon, it is uncommon for a woman to achieve success on hew own and this seems to appear now in Chile. Princesa Alba, Paloma Mami, Francisca Valenzuela, Mon Laferte, Cami, Ana TIjoux, it seems that it is important to say who of these women wears the crow, but all

a subject you've enjoyed studying this semester

Well, I have to say this is really sad because not only i couldn't enjoy my favorites subject, documentary sound, who is a practical one, this semester due to covid-19, but also i had several problems to connect to online classes. However I had a class that I genuinely enjoyed, and it's call "research and documentary script". i like because it was, somehow, more dynamic  and we had to do, of course a little research. We had to work around an object and write a little journal about or thoughs about its story and its affiliations, for example, my object was an old clock my grandfather give me when i was ten years old, i also had to pick a photograph, and i chose, precisely, a photo my mom keeps of my grandpa, herself and her sisters in the beach, almost 50 years ago. So I got to remember and learn more about him, my family, my mother and myself, and I really enjoyed that. the teacher said and showed us examples about how most of documentary directors use this technique

bong joon-ho and how everything is a class strugle

Boon Joon Ho (봉준호) is a South Korean filmmaker and Sociologist, born in Daegu in 1969. He enrolled to studied sociology in 1988 in Yonsei University at Seoul, it was there when he started his first film project, as he was part of a film club named Yellow Door. Finally around the 90's he did a two year program in the Korean Academy of Film Arts. His movies are known for tal about social issues, and because its dark and sarcastics humour and his abrupts tone shifts. He is now globally know for being the director of Parasite, the first non-english film who has ever win the Oscar major prize: Best Picture. The film took home the "Best Director", "Best Original Screen-play" and "Best International Feature film" statue as well.  I didn't knew him until Parasite was release, I watched it because an actress I really like (Park So Dam) played a major role in it. However, I felt in love with the way he portraits class issues in the film, as a sociolo

“women are not made whole by men. women are made whole the moment they enter this world.”

After I finished She-ra and the Princesses of Power, I rewatched it a few times because I didn't feel emotionally prepared to start a new series. But then a friend I really care about said to me I should watch Anne with an E, a netflix adaption of the famous book Anne of Green Gables. And, right now, after I finally finished the third and last (at the moment) season, I don't feel emotionally prepare to start a new series, again. And I just had to say that this serie is one of the best I've seen in a while. The serie is about a 13 years old orphan name Anne Shirley, who arrives by mistake in the farm of Green Gables, were the siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthberth were expecting a boy. However, Anne manages to stay in the farm despite the initial prejudices and changes the little town of Avonlea forever with her imagination and bright personality. Everything about the show: the art department, the screenplay, the characthers and also the topics its talk about, are amazin

a photograph you like

This is my favorite photograph of all time. I don't know who took it but I think it cames from a video that was recorded loooong time ago, around 1920's or smth like that, in somekind of interview Lenin had (of course people only talk about Lenin and forget that his wife, Krupskaya, is same as valuable for the revolution as him, because men only care about their own idols and always leaves women behind, it's doesnt matter if they are left-wing man, they still being sexist). I'm gonna drop the link of the video  here . So I like it for three specifical reasons: 1. Lenin and Krupskaya are in the photograph, two persons I really, really admire not only for their theorical work who has help me to develop who I am, but also for their actual work in the revolutionary labor in Russia. 2. Because it has Lenin's cat. I LOVE CATS. Okay, that's it, I won't elaborate. Ok, kidding, but I really just... love cat, like, there is no a lot to explain about that, I

she-ra and the princesses of power

So, the last days has been HARD days, in a lot of ways. Not only the world is kind of ending but also the way that everything is going downhill with my mental health because of the quarantine and all this coronavirus + blm movement thing. I'd tried to focus on good or positive thing but has been difficult, so I kind of found a refuge on an animated serie I'm rlly obssesed with right now, called She-ra and the princesses of power. This serie is a reboot of 1985, "She-ra: The princess of Power", this new version was developed by Noelle Stevenson and produces by Dreamworks Animation and is, at the moment, the one animated series that has a lesbian characther as the main protagonist, with a female love interest. The series finished this May 15th with its finale season when, finally, Adora (the protagonist who has the abilitie to transform herself into She-ra, a mithycal heroine from the magical planet Etheria) kiss Catra, her ex best friend, who transformed into her ene

what's the best piece of technology ever created, and why it is the lighter?

So, it was really hard for me to choose what's my favourite piece of technology . Like, when I read it I went like " ??? " and the first two objects that came into my mind were a phone and a computer because those are the ones that I use the most. But then I thought " but that is so common and lame, I bet everyone is going to talk about that " like, yes, it's true, probably the mobile phone and the computer + internet are like the best thing ever created, but come on! Sure there's something out there pretty important in our lives that we don't take it into account. So I started to think, and I even asked a few friends (the few friends i have that are awake at this time, that are like... two, tbh also a friend of a superior course give me a spoiler about the blogs topics bc apparently they are the same every year, but okay) about their opinions and one of them told me "a lighter, of course" and I went like "oh... well, she's r

my career

why do i choose my career? well, actually that's a really good question. I'm not pretty sure why, but I guess I have a few theories about it. First of all, my mom worked at Blockbuster for 18 years until the company went bankrupt, so I spend 12 years of my life submerged in corridors full of movies. Since I was a little girl, my mom and I have 'cinema afternoons', we can spends hours watching movies and documentaries, sometimes my old brother join to us. But when I was a child I've never think about study something related to "create" movies, I wanted to be an archaeologist and then, an actress, even a filosfy or  study teacher. for a long time i aso wanted to study social work. When I applied, I didn't have any other option, actually, this career and this University were my only option and if I hadn't accepted at the university, I would work and study to apply again. In second place I would say the career is dynamic and broad, it cover many di

autobiography

My name is Gabriela Fuentes Soiza, I'm twenty years old and I was born in a small town - a port, to be more specific - in the coast called San Antonio. I'm small, and I'm from the sea, just like my town. There I lived with my mom and my dad, two cats (Nala and Muriel), two dogs (Cachorro and Cachorra) and a red eared turtle. Cachorro get lost a few days before Christmas and we never saw him again, is a sad story. But, in the middle of a quarantine, we as a family get a new member, a (big) puppy we called Porota, so currently we have two dog as well. I studied my whole life in a school called "Nueva Providencia" in my hometown, I hated it, but two years and a half ago, I moved to Santiago, to continue my studies. I'm now a Film-maker major in University of Chile. I also hate it. Here, in the capital I live with one of my bestfriend called Bárbara in a small flat we just rent a few months ago. Isn't the great thing but tbh I love it, its all I ever wante
