Post III: "The best concert I've had"

Today I am going to write about the best concert I have had.

This story began a long time ago, when I was in eighth grade and, me and my cousin, started to listen metal bands; among them, there was one that I trully loved: "Sonata Arctica" a power metal band from Finland. I tried to see them for a very long time, but I was too young and I could not pay the chipest ticket, furthermore, my parents wouldn't allow an extrawaste of money.


This changed last year, when I met my current boyfriend. He loved the same bands as me, and, after saved some money to pay the ticket, we went to see "Sonata Arctica" with a friend of him; I enjoyed a lot, it was the second concert of my entire life. However, this year was completely different, because I knew that I could go the see them. Besides, this year concert was the last of "Sonata Arctica" in Chile, they won't come back for a while.

It was an amazing concert. They played my favourite songs, my boyfriend was there and we celebrated there eleven months together. I did not care about the crowd or me all sweaty, I jump and sang loudly, with a detuned voice, all my favourite songs; and I didn't give a shit of people surrounding me, my boydriend and this friend who also came with us a second time.

It was awesome, I want to see them again .

Post II: "My favourite artist"

Hello!



Today I am going to talk about an artist that I admire: Diego de Velázquez. I have to admit that I do not like much contemporary art, I prefer old school artists.


Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, comonly known as Diego Velázquez, was an artist who born at the end of the 16th Century in Seville, Spain. He is an important figure to Spanish Golden Age of Baroque period, mostly, for his uncommon style of not doing a previously sketch before painting a tableau. Instead, he chose to instantly apply the bruskwork on canvas. When someone looks at a certain distance his paintings, brushworks or "color" becomes a solid figure instead a group of colours without an a apparently purpose. He was the leading artist in the court of king Felipe IV, and portrayed the royal family many times. The most interesting thing about Velazquez, besides his way of put only the color on canvas instead a sketch, were the way of portraying daily life and mythical themes at the same time, at the same painting.



I like a lot this artist and his way to portray everithing.

Post I: The country I'd like to visit

Today I im going to write about the country I would like to visit someday.

I chose Italy, which is located in the "ancient continent", Europe, and its capital is Rome. This country also is commonly known as the "Boot", because it looks like one. Italian ancient culture is the foundation of occidental culture, our culture. All the things we actually know are product of Ancient Greek and Roman culture, mostly the first one, but Rome saved a lot of Greek principles that we have as facts today. And is not only in Ancient Rome.


I do not want to just "visit" Italy. I want to study there a posgraduate in restoration, or heritage and patrimonium, my area of interest. But not to live there, because it seems to be very expensive when I was investigating about daily life there. I just want to study there one or two years, enter to various museums around the country, eat a lot of pasta and ice cream and then get back to Chile being wiser than before.




That's all!
