everithing on my ipod.


I do not use to like a lot technology. I mean, I am not the kind of person who is always looking for the newest gadget or something like that. My notebook and my cellphone are bought really old, also my photo camera. I hate the touch technology, and I can't imagine my life always connected (like the people who are always on facebook in the mobile phone, trying to get WI FI everywhere.

But, apart from that, I have something to be grateful of with all this modern things: iPod, a line of portable media players designed and marketed by Apple and launched on October 23, 2001. There’s a lot of different ipod, in many sizes, colors and models. They could have loads of space (like 120 GB) or less, like mine. My iPod (and the best in the world) is a purple one, with 8GB nano model. It has a video camera, voice recorder, games, etc. But, the most important, in my iPod is the music I have.I am a happy girl with it. I have two computers, and there’s my music on iTunes (an iPod’s program). I have like 60 GB. If I mix the music of both computers, and is really hard for me to choose my favorite music. But I have to, the I just choose some artist (my really favorites in the moment) and for the rest, I used the random option.

In my iPod you could find since Britney or garras de amor, to some Chopin’s songs. And if I’m not in a special mood, I love to hear all that it's mixed randomly.

Play me a song to set me free. (kinda emo, i know...)


The thing i love most in the world is music. Is really hard for me choose my favorite band, is even harder to know what kind of music I prefer. That depends of the day, the weather, and my mood. In this moment – I mean, if I had my ipod, I would love to be listening to it right now- my favorite band is Belle and Sebastian, and indie pop band created by Stuart Murdoch in Scotland in 1996.
They are called in that way because the members of the band love a French history for children about a boy called Sebastian, and his dog Belle.
I love them because they made amazing songs, and also (and almost the most important in music for me)it's because they have really beautiful lyrics. I love some sentences on their songs, like that one Zoey Deschanel Said in 500 days of Summer “colour my life with the chaos of trouble” . That Quote belongs to the song The boy with the arab strap, that song is also the title of one of the most successful CD’s of the band.
I think that get me away from here, im dying is a great song, full of wonderful beats, and makes me feel that the phrase “play me a song to set me free” could be real.
Belle and Sebastian is maybe a little corny,but in the good way. Corny like kiss someone under the rain, or crying watching a romantic movie with a big cup of hot chocolate.

Clarín.


The last summer, in Argentina, i discovered my favourite journal, called clarín.
Is the principal newspaper in that country, and exist since 1945. I love it because reading it is an amazing way to be aware with what is going on in the world, they told us the news with a lot of analyze, is not only “the fact”. They treat the context carefully.
For example, with the Mubarak’s problem in Egypt, they did a great job. They give us a lot of visions, with opinions from a lot of people specialized in the Arabian problem, also people from that country who participated in the manifestations, against the regimen, etc.
I love the way that I could read the paper. Is not like “el mercurio”- I hate the format of that journal- and it is funny too, because they talk about a lot of topics, like science, sports, and of course, politic and international.
They also have amazing journalist, because they are brave and commitment with the profession, and the other day, protesting against a kind of censorship, the published the cover totally empty, with only the title in there.
Although this newspaper is from Argentina, is known and soled around the world

Movies and relationships.


Is hard to decide which are my favourite movies. But I know what I like to find, or what are my favourite themes in movies are relationships, but not only in the “ a boy meet a girl” . I love to find humanity, and in my opinion, this four movies are full of it.

The first one is Rumble fish, directed by Coppola. This movie is about a little family, a father, and his sons, and how the build a life, or try to do that. “moto boy” , the older brother is the perfect “anti-hero”.

Before the sunrise shows a history of love, but a weird kind of love, because are two guys who are traveling, and when they meet, they get crazy about each other. In that case, I think that’s love. But they only can be together for 24 hours. Lucky me, this movie has a second part.

high fidelity is about a young man, who works in a Music's store. He lives listening music all the time, earing the love songs, or the saddest songs ever. When the movie starts, he blame the music about how hard is built a life trying to copy the pop music, like the ideal of relationships, but for him the love is a really hard thing.

The last one is todo sobre mi madre, directed by almodovar. The relationships here are the most complicated ever. They talk about a mother who lost her son, about a noun who gets pregnant by a transexual, and how those people live theire lifes, loving and suporting each other anyway.
