Hi friends, ¿how are you? i hope that you're fine.

Today I will talk about my favourite book, "The Metamorphosis" writing by the czech novelist, Franza Kafka. I really like reading any books, especially of science fiction, social problems and many topics more. This book is very interesting for me, because this was the first work that i understood. 

When I read "The metamorphosis" I was thirteen years old, and the story shocked me especially for the existentials problems that Gregor suffered in his short but melancholic life. Since this moment I felt the emptiness of the modern men in a huge but complicated world.
Definitely this is a great work. "The Metamorphosis" make you think and to question to yourself the meaning of the life.

 

Here a example when Gregor Samsa discovered his transformation in an insect. This is the beggining of the story.

One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug. He lay on his armour-hard back and saw, as he lifted his head up a little, his brown, arched abdomen divided up into rigid bow-like sections. From this height the blanket, just about ready to slide off completely, could hardly stay in place. His numerous legs, pitifully thin in comparison to the rest of his circumference, flickered helplessly before his eyes.

‘What’s happened to me,’ he thought. It was no dream. His room, a proper room for a human being, only somewhat too small, lay quietly between the four well-known walls. Above the table, on which an unpacked collection of sample cloth goods was spread out (Samsa was a traveling salesman) hung the picture which he had cut out of an illustrated magazine a little while ago and set in a pretty gilt frame. It was a picture of a woman with a fur hat and a fur boa. She sat erect there, lifting up in the direction of the viewer a solid fur muff into which her entire forearm disappeared.

"The Metamorphosis" (original German title: "Die Verwandlung") is a short novel by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It is often cited as one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is widely studied in colleges and universities across the western world. The story begins with a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, waking to find himself transformed into an insect.

 

This review is very short, but i would agree.  This novel is often cited across the world, because this is an amazing work, and the most brilliant book of literature, in my opinion.

 

                                      One of the best books in the history of literature

Have a lot of patience. When you get in the university, especially in the ICEI you have to be a patience person and don't get upset for having to wait to your teachers or in Secretary of Studies.

Always carry you TUI. The TUI is the identity card for students and if you're a student at Juan Gomez Millas with this TUI you can entry at any time and go to anywhere inside the campus.

Have lunch at the ICEI's food hall. When you're hungry you must go to the best place to have food in the campus, the ICEI's caffeteria. Here you can find a lot of menus, includying vegetarian lunches.

Hi friends, i hope that you're having a nice day :)

This day i'm going to talk about my favourites TV series... 

In fact, i don't have one favourite tv show, because i like so many series of drama, anime, gore kind, comedy and reality. But since a few months i'm watching a spanish serie that is so cool. This program is "Malviviendo". 

Malviviendo is an online series produced by Different and directed by David Saiz. It employs mostly non-profesionals actors, and those involved in the series do it for free. The series is set in the fictional neighborhood of "Los Banderillos" of the Spanish city of Sevilla. The characters are a group of friends trapped in their everyday bad livesrelated to consumption of cannabis or other problems related to the uniqueness of each character.

I really like this program, because is different than other series of Spain. This show have drama, humor and a critic view about the poverty in Europe. Also, is online and i can watch everyday in Youtube.

Here, the first episode of Malviviendo. Enjoy it!

I really like the technology. I think this is a very good way to express the science, creativity and innovation. I don't have a lot of things as computers, ipods, players and others, but my notebook, my dvd, my old cellphone and my Mp4 are enough for me. Also, they are so useful.

Today I'm going to talk about the last, my MP4 player. I have to say that I never bought this machine hahaha. I found it a day, in November, while I listened a concert of Maurice Ravel in the Theatre of University of Chile. I remember that I saw the MP4 over the next seat, and suddenly  was mine. Yes, it's true, I stole the MP4 player. 

This thing is so neccesary for me, because I use it everyday while i'm going to university. I like listen music when i'm walking, it's so fun. Without it, all my trips would be boring. 

Hi friends, welcome to my blog (again)


In this publication I'm going to talk about a great concert, the best concert that i lived. This show was the last year in there, Santiago. In October 9th, Bad Religion played in Teatro Caupolicán for all their fans. I was  with my sister, Úrsula, and my friend, Javier (we called just "Taps"). I love this band since a long time, when I was 13 years old. I think that Bad Religion is a very brave band, because they sing against the imperialism, the nation, religion and materialism in USA, a very republican country. 


I'll remember this show for ever, because they played every song that i want. Also, their music is powerful, fun and exciting, like their concerts.






Here's a great extract of their concert in Chile. In this video they are playing the first song of their setlist. This song called You, and is awesome!
