Philosophy for dumbs

Hello! Today we have to write about something we are reading at the moment. Truly until five months ago, I wasn’t very good at readying; I preferred images or movies before than a book or saw the news before to read a report (well, sometimes I still wanting a movie before a book). I was very slow to read and it was like impossibly for me to finish a book. But recently, at the last months I’m trying to read more and obligate me to finish the books that I start. Well, at first I asked a friend to tell me something that I can read and not be boring, so she recommended me to read novels of Hernán Rivera Letelier. I started with “La contadora de películas” that is really short and then I read two books more of him, I really love it, but how I’m very slow to read I take my time jajajaja.

Now I’m readying something very different, but I wanted to started because for me is interesting.Is a book that I bought in the “Persa Biobio”, it’s a book simply call “Philosophy”, but when I inspect the book I noticed that  was a book make by a teacher for his students, so is like a class but in a book and has some draws so I think that maybe can be something not to boring. Well, I bought it and I notice that was about the basis of the philosophy and explains a lot of the different areas of philosophy. Now I’m really enjoying it because explains things that with some teachers of the university doesn’t be so clear, that they didn’t pass or simply there classes were so boring that I didn’t pay attention. Also this book is very simply to explains, so makes me be more interesting to read. At “Persa Biobio” I also bought a book called “Cosmos”, talks about the universe and it saws very interesting too, so I hope to finish soon and start this other. 

Rincon del Sabor

Hi! Today I’m going to talk about one of my favourite places in Santiago, this is “El Rincón del Sabor”. This is a bar located near of Plaza Italia, next of Cine Arte Alameda.

I like this bar because is really cheap and has a very good atmosphere. I discovered this place in 2011, when I was in the occupation of Casa Central with some friends and we want to drink some beer, so we went there because was near to Casa Central.

I went to “El Rincon del Sabor” with all kind of people, sometime I go only with one friend or sometimes I go with big groups.

I remember one time that with one of my best friends we finished working and pay us immediately, so we went there to get drunk and eat a lot of French fries. Was really cool, then a lot of our friends go there and the evening finished in a very good party.

Well, this year I can’t go so much, because I’m with a lot of responsibilities in the university and also my friends are with the thesis and working (they are now adults jajaja), so we don’t have much time to go, but sometimes we make space in our lives to relax and remember past times.

The last time that I went to “El Rincon del Sabor” was in October for the birthday of one friend. We have a really nice moment and also we finish in a very good party.

I hope to have more time to enjoy this place with my friends. 

Happiness alone

Today I have to write about happiness. I think that is a difficult issue, because sometimes is hard to discover things that makes us happy. In my case, truly I in the last months I started to appreciate happiness and discovered things that makes me happy.

One of the things that make me very happy is have time for me alone. Also makes me happy be with my friends and family, but sometimes I need to rest of people and take time to be alone. For example I like a lot to watch movies or series alone, especially when I’m very stress and with many preoccupations I make me a little time to watch something, that relax me a lot and makes me concentrate in the important things. Also I like to read or listen to music in my bed, both things relax me. I make these things all the time with people, for example read in the bus or in the underground, or listen music with friends, but make it alone helps me to concentrate more and have time to think about what I’m listening or reading.

I think that at the present, our society makes us have fear to be alone, that always we have to do things for people or what people wants, a lot of times leaving ourselves for last. I think that all people must have time for themselves, to discover new things or simply to relax. 

English Practice

Today we have to make some test in different areas of English. The three areas are reading, listening and vocabulary. The area where I get best score was reading, I had only few bad. On listening also I’m good, I think that this is because I listen a lot of English music, so I’m used to it. My worse area was vocabulary, I have 10 bad answers. I think that this is because I don’t read so much in English and there a lot of words that confused me.
