adasdas

My favorite website is Porlaputa, one of the most viewed pages in Chile, is a blog where people can send their post and depending on the editor's sense of humor, can be published. For example images, memes, videos, music etc. etc.

Thanks to this site were made ​​popular characters of urban folklore, as well as phrases and slang understood only by those who visit this siteI visit this website every day, is a funny way to take things that happen in Chile and the world .

I found this site about 1 year and has really become a vice but as it is an escape not only for me but for many people who work or study and want a little distracting during the day, killing some time in english classes or after a long and tiring day
My other favorite website  is the blog of the journal Neo 2 is a Spanish magazine that comes to Chile but is very expensive, then this blog is the parallel option, since it is almost digital paper magazine, I love this page and all reporting on trends, music, art, fashion, decor, food, free downloads, etc.

Technology

I really don’t like the technology, but every day I wonder more.  The technological object without which I can’t live it’s my telephone though the technology is not advanced because it is a very old model, for me it is really useful and sometimes even I do not think life without it.

Recently, to attract my attention the telephones so called "touch" as they are multifaceted and even gave me a little afraid to do so many things. I think is very helpful to have music, internet, camera, recorder, etc, etc.
My other favorite technological object is my iPod, thanks to my memory capacity to store thousands of songs, photographs and videos; also everything is very orderly through iTunes.

Recently I got a Nintendo DS XL but I'm not really a fan of Nintendo games that I've become addicted and when play I do not realize how quickly time passes. It has really amazing applications like to put fire in an adventure game, you must blow into the microphone :/ .
Personally I feel a bit scared as technology advances so fast, and I'm still young in the prime of my life I’m amazed these things "Transformers", I believe that before long more I start to believe in the theories of
spying through these objects

My favorite movie

Hi !

!Today I will talk about my favorite movie, “Big fish ” this film  is a 2003  directed by Tim Burton. And starring for Ewan McGregor ( ♥ ), the film would be directed by Steven Spielberg before Tim Burton will be in charge of the project, after death of his father.
The film received four nominations for Golden Globes and an Oscar nomination.

This film tells the story of a man who has told his life story to his son throughout his life. Old and very sick and almost of death, his son who has always doubt do the stories he tells his father. To finds out about these stories that it was all real.

I think it's a beautiful film, especially reminded me of my father, I think sometimes we do not value the stories our parents tell us  we think they are boring or sometimes a little fantastics,  but if they are real or not experiences or lessons there are leave us and help us in our lives.

I recommend this movie absolutely, I crying a lot of hours its really beautiful, I hope to see those who have not had the opportunity to do seen and appreciate more old people because always they have something interesting to say.

Shamanic flight


 Last summer for the third time I visited San Pedro de Atacama,  my favorite place in the world. This time, however I was working as a waitress, even so I could go to “santos carnavales ”errant small parties , carried from house to house in different ayllus, which are prepared with a year in advance and made at least 7 weeks before holy week which is why if a person is not the area will be difficult to know exactly what day and where it is.
this is one of the most deeply rooted traditions of this area and is developed in two stages: first is the chaya in which they dance, sing “coplas” and throw flour .The second stage is the  abandonment
of house, here are three central characters, which are represented by men chosen by neighborhood: Mr. carnival, Mrs. carnival and the secretary.
To finish the Pujillay is buried, an ancient god of mythology Quechua that symbolizes prosperity and abundance, embodied in a doll are buried by invoking the Pachamama.
But are many tourists and locals go only  to drink  "aloha" . is a tradition that is worth living, but with respect and that many people go and do not capture the real meaning of this tradition.

who I am :S

My name is Umi , I am a student of history and theory of art. I like going out dancing and drinking, but sometimes I have attacks of responsibility and study.

I love the mornings when the parties end, afternoons with tesito,  and make amigurumis (Japanese technique for crocheting stuffed animals).  Sometimes I have the gift to play melodica.
