Greenwood

Well, I’m not sure that I could called myself like a green-girl, because I clearly should do much more of what Im used to, but besides that, envirornment it’s a complex and important issue for me. I think that since I cared about me, I have enjoy looking for the environment where I hang around. I try to recicle at my home. We have incorporate a technique -us a family- of recycling plastic, throwing out on plastic bottles. When we accumulates several of them, we left them in a recipient were a fundation turns them into an “ecobrick”. They use them for building garages or small rooms.

I do love ridding my bike. I try to travel myself on it, so I have reached many places really remote of where I live. I don’t matter, it’s a perfect, clean and fast way of moving in this congested city. When I was younger I went to meetings of “Furiosos de la Bicicleta”, it was funny because we shared the same motivation.
Turn my bike into my means of transport have directly consequence into my carbon footprint. Of course I travels in car if I’m tired or the places are far away from me, but since 9 years almost I have regularly help ridding my bike.

The knoledge of being worried about the earth it’s something that society should get at school, tv programmes and their families. It’s regrettable that it has just became a theme since everybody feels the consecuences of not being concern about environment years and years of hummanity. What is missing is a truly conscience of what’s going on with earth and that money won’t fix all the damage that we have done to the planet.

Thank You For All The Travel And The Pain

So, my favourite music. I can’t lay down my favourite type of music, it’s so wide the range of music i’ll like. Sometimes it’s dance, and other times it’s more calm like reggae. Sometimes it’s british songs, and other times the most romantic and sad song ever. I think music it’s perfect for life. Is the one that has the encourage of representing your feelings on different moments. Music it’s son perfect, in all their ways, in any time.

I can listen when I’m bored at home, or when I’m ridding my bike to anywhere. Or it’s perfect when I’m alone and I want to dance and take out some energy inside myself. I dont’ know, it’s such a great partner, it can be always around you. It’s your choise, turn on the radio, and enjoy the music, because it’s a perfect handmade thing. It’s music, are the states of someone who represents you so good, that you can also sing out loud.

At this moment of my life, I think that music that I most bask it’s latin music. The ones that aren’t a problem for me to sang them. Th eones that I can collect every meaning, every position, it’s so wonderful. Maybe, if I had to say a name, i could mention “Calle13” becouse there are so many memories, so many times that I could heard just one song a time, and another, and another, without getting a little bit tired of it. I remember being at some parties and start singing with my friends, and it was so fun, we could even cry by the emotion.

Definitely life hasen’t much sense without music. Without a background that remembers you that this is it. That life isn’t more than this, it’s the rhythm what can makes things better or worst, but it can make possible to live everything with more passion.

Hey people! Leave those kids alone.

This article is about a necessary action that must change the focus of how courts are dictating justice. Nowadays, there are a lot of young kids falling into prison because tiny reasons such us playground fights. This is obviously a non sense practice, not only because the cost of an increasing youth custody, but also about the purpose wich it’s not putting into practice. This is because “many young people leaving custody are still not being provided with the basic support they need for rehabilitation”.

This is the reason because the CSJ (Centre for Social Justice) is calling for a reform. They consider than society should be responsible with the manners of how we are dealing with young infractors, because we are always sweeping the problems away, and no one tries to hold the problem by their causes. This is why the reform contemplates young people paying back victims, financial support for 12,000 troubled families, and new programmes designed to tackle the root causes of reoffending."

What CSJ argues is that lives of child offenders must be treated by all the community. There must be restorative justice schemes, that touches all the society that is engaging with young kids. Such us schools, social care teams, mental health services and families. The last ones should provided an orientation to their child helping and supporting the offenders.

The fact is that the way of dealing with the management justice is failing away. This is why a reform is absolutely necessary, because custody treatment is not an effective youth system. Another way of taking care about young offenders may reduces them in number and consecuences for their grown adult life.

If you're happy and you know, and you really want to show clap your hands..

I think that we should stop living happyness like if it was something outside from our body. Like if it is out the space, and sometimes (just sometimes) we can get it, and all the other times we're dislike with everything. I think that we should try to experience happyness like an attitude, like a way of living life. More in the everyday than those moments were things look nice so we enjoy and felt happy. Happyness it's more difficult than that, I know, but we must value the tiny and shocking things, the ones that makes us feel alive. Im into that philosophy of appreciates life. And don't understood me wrong, im not a hippy, I just think that is not natural to keep on staring life, we must get involve, and if this is true, the most magic way of facing up life is trying to stay happy with little things. This is happyness: details.

Details. With my boyfriend, my parents, my friends. I have seen happy faces with non elaborated details, just something different, a joke, a hug, a smile searching for the eyes of someone, we carry happyness in our body, and with any motion we can take it out.

I think that people believes that happyness is just a moment were everything looks fine. But we all bought the capitalism logic wich remember us that happyness is not for good, that material things makes us happy, that money could buy happyness. What a pity this world! People should try to take the best in any moment, and no figging with work or bills. There things much more important.

I'm not allow to establish if Chile is or not a happy country. I can talk only of what I see, and Chile isn't a cheerful country. Nevertheless I think that day by day people is getting notice of this things and is triying to improve their way of facing life. It's possible, we must stop getting worry and start fixing our problems one by one.

A citizen of the world.

I think that I could call myself a globaltrotter. I love to travel and visit new places. I love new food, new manners, and I love others cultural ways of living from each country. I think that life is too long or too short for just staying in one place, for just knowing one kind of reality. Every place, every corner has attractiveness and it would be very difficult to me to just choose one country that I would like to go. I want to go everywhere. But, for the exercise I will choose India. I think that it’s so strange, so unknown, so different at what we are use to hang. I’d love to stay there a year or two, learning about their religion and culture. Increasing everyday my knowledge and improving myself. I’m sure that this is my expectation of travelling around the world. I’m the type of lady that feels that can travel without moving, because I know that I can be everyday better here.

The things I know about India is that is a big, big country. And that cows share space with cars. I have heard that is out of control because there are a lot of people everywhere. And that the food is very nice, with a lot of species and chili, I love tasty food.

If I reach out India I think that I would like to know everything that I could. Travel around the country watching and living new things, things that maybe I never thought could exist. I would show myself just how I am and try not to worry with the things to do, I can do whatever I want.
I think that the way that I’m planning my life is to work – live – travel, and again, and again. Work in anything I’d like, save some money and try to travel again. I don’t want to stay in just one country the rest of my life, maybe when I’m older and start a family, but meanwhile I think that I will just hanging around the planet Earth.

Santa understood me wrong

Since I’m not a Christian believer, I won’t refer about the origin of this festivity. However I imagine that the celebration is related with the born of Jesus. I do think that this mean has been construct by the culture and do has significance in many parts or the world. The truth is that all of the customs of Christmas are collection of traditions and practices taken from many cultures and nations, so allows me think that other kind of feast is possible. Nowadays Christmas has turn into a shoking period of last month of the year, were everyone is thinking about how much consume, spending a lot of money in expensives gifts, thinking that the amount is directly related with how much would the kids like it or not. I think is bad this way of transforming de christmas eve because not everything in the world is money. Kids get older thinking that this is how Christmas
show should be celebrate and they dont think the back message that the celebration should have.

In my house Christmas is a regular day. Since my parent break up, this time of the year has turn into a dramatic scene in my home. I try not to get involved with that feelings and cheer up my mom in the kitchen. I prepare great desserts too, so my big brother and my mother are pleasant with the opportunity of taste them and share happy together.

With the history of my life I think I don’t like Christmas so much. It isn’t my favourite date at all, but I can go through it without any upset face. And of course I love watching my younger cousins enjoying their new toys. But if I think all the things that means today Christmas I think that I don’t like it so much, but if we could give other sense to the festivity, one much more worried about the feelings and the spiritual thoughts, then it could be better.

FIRST ENTRY - ENGLISH IV

Well, there’s a lot to say about these new term that we are starting. First of all, it’s my last term (if everything goes fine) so im very exiting with ending this phase of my life. To achieve this final process I must pass 6 signatures, plus my seminar grade, so it won’t be too easy. But im hoping to be responsible with the time for do my best. I also have to take a sport subject, I choose Arabic dance, which makes me so happy because im having a better relation with my body, knowing and feeling parts of him I never do before. Its funny because I was always bothered with my dreadful rhythm, so now im learning and trying to improve myself.

Its a strange feeling being studying during summer. But when I was noticed that I could mix second term of this year, with the first term of 2012, introduced a lot of sense and motivated myself to handle all the signatures I should take for makes real my graduation. It doesn’t matter. I hope everything goes right like im planning, so I will have vacation on March and I wont be pushed by time for coming back.

I just want to improve my English because one of my goals is to leave my country and travel around the world. A second language will be very useful and its a tool that I appreciate beyond others skills.
