Who's the greatest Chilean of all time?

Ok. There are many interesting, good and cool Chilean in the history of the country. But I prefer to tell you about someone I know and not because someone told me about him or because I read something about him.

The thing is that this man gave me a lot of joy when I was a kid and until not long ago! Who am I talking about????????????????? Please, take a look at these pictures:

    

Yes, who else! José Marcelo "Matador" Salas Melinao. He's a Chilean footballer who played soccer at the Chilean Selection of soccer, River Plate, Juventus, Lazio (with Leonel Sánchez <3) and, OF COURSE in Universidad de Chile. I was like eleven when my Universidad de Chile fanaticism started. So, that was by his second time wearing the blue shirt, when he was coming back from Argentina (since 2005). Those were his last years playing soccer.

Salas is now retired from football, which is official since 2009. But he's considered one of the best strikers in the history of our country. In fact, with 37 goals of 70 assists or appeareances is the best scorer in the Selección Chilena de Fútbol history!!!

If I could have the opportunity to met him and to chat with him, I'll ask him: what are your feelings for Universidad de Chile? And obviously I'll ask him if he continue following Universidad de Chile unconditionally. And if his children are Universidad de Chile fans too.

He is the best "blue" idol or hero, with Leonel Sánchez!! And he's the reason of many of my happy and special moments :)

Thank you, Matador!

About today activities I had some good things and some horrible things. The reading activities was better than the others by far. And the vocabulary wasn't bad either. I think that my worst performance was on writing activity, part 1: 3 of 7 :(.

On the vocabulary thing I was very quick but I made five mistakes. But they were 20 questions so I think that's OK!!! I'm very good at listening in english and this wasn't an exception because I only made one mistake.

Anyway I think this gonna help us for the exam, so it's fine!!!!

Best gift ever

Every birthday, my mom wakes me up in the morning singing the Happy Birthday song. Sometimes she brings me a cake or something with a candle on the top and I make my first birthday wish.
On 2010, she woke me up with many presents in her hands. One bag was bigger than the other. It was red and with tiny little hearts on it. When I opened it, my life changed. What a surprise! It was an awesome camara!! I had always wanted one of them because I love taking pictures every where I go and I also love travelling around the world and obviously, taking photos is a very important thing when you're in a place you have never been before. Because after the trip you can remember it and show the photos to everyone. The remember thing is beautiful and very important for me.

The present was actually from my mom and my stepdad, not only from my mummy. Now, my camara is exactly in front of me. I still using it everytime. I use it even in my job. It's like my life partner and it gives me the possibility to freeze every beautiful moment, place, people I love, people that I don't know and other stuff. I love taking pictures and I hope you love too because is a wonderful thing. Thanks, mom and stepfather!!!!!

My first day at the university

Ok. Join into the university wasn't my dream at all. In fact, even now I'm not happy studying. But I have to admit that my first year was better than now. What I mean is that I was more motivated at the beginning. I'm not good at remembering things but I’m doing an effort.

I live really near from my university. So, as always, my first day I came here walking. Obviously I was a little nervous and excited because of my new friends and challenges. I was very lost about my timetable and that’s why I found my first friend in the ICEI.

I was walking, probably with a strange face, looking for someone who can tell me where was my class or who was my teacher. There I found Gabriela. She was at the same situation and we tried to solve it together. Then we started to get closer. Obviously, by the days I also started to speak to other people and made other friends.

I remember that I loved my teachers and all the plans they had to make during the semester and the syllabus seemed to be fun. My classmates showed being very smart and I felt afraid of seeming stupid.

I could lie about what I did exactly, but I prefer to admit that I didn’t remember. Actually, I luckily remember what I ate yesterday. The worst thing is that it doesn’t even mean that I had a great day, because I don’t remember the bad things either. Let’s think that it was awesome!
