I´m a big fan of technology since i was a kid. But many of the things i wanted, i couldn´t afford them, so they just stayed in my dreams. Nowadays technology is cheap, and i think everyone can access to it.
So now i can say that my favourite piece of technology is a macbook pro 13.3" and i have one in my hands.
I bought it a few months ago in the US thanks to an uncle of mine who lives there. Of course i didn´t get it for free, and neither my parents bought for me (it was too expensive). I got a job last summer in Bahia Inglesa, working as a Bartender in a restaurant, so with that money i paid my new laptop.
I have to say it feels so good to pay by yourself something you really wanted by not asking someone else.
I dind´t want a macbook pro just because the sofisticated design. I wanted it because the performance of those computers it is so great. And of course that helps when you use it in a career like Film and television.
So as may be thinking, i use it everyday. It is a useful tool, and that´s why i like it.
Without it my life would´t be so bad and of course i would find the way to do my stuff.
i´m not going to die if i don´t have a macbook of course, but as i was saying, it helps you a lot.

A very useful website...
Here's the link of one the websites i enjoy visiting
http://www.cinechile.cl/
Well, as you have noticed, the page it's obviously about films from Chile. But the great things is that it has like an inventory of all the chilean films from known and unknown directors with free access. Yes, you can watch all the films for free.
So, we can catalog this website an encyclopedia.
I've been visiting this website for a couple of years, but since i'm studying film and television the visits have increased, and i have to admit that this page is a really useful tool.
It has a lot of sections, but it's not so complicated to browse what you are looking for. That's because the design is simple, and allows you to get in. It's the perfect guide for a begginner.
It contains fiction and non fiction films (also known as documentary films), shorts, and animation films. Also nes, interviews, essays, films that are being exhibited, etc.
If you continue browsing, you can find a section of film critics from experts, archives with the story of the invention of the first camera, and a lot more.
I really like this site, because it is the only resource i have to watch movies that are not being sold in commercial stores. So invite you to visit it.

To my ears
I have
plenty of bands in my head right now, but there´s one i always follow by
different bars in Santiago. They create songs in english with all this indie
rock style shipped directly from england. And the good news is that they are
from Chile, so when i always feel the need of having a good concert, i don´t
need to waste a lot of money with bands like Radiohead, The killers or any of
them.
I´ve been
listening this band for two years more or less, and they have mutated i think
since the first day i listened them.
At the
first time they called themselves "The grand". But there was another
band with that name in other country. So they changed it to "We are
the grand". That change in the name came together with a change in their
style. And now i like them more.
I met them
at the first time reading the magazine Rolling Stone, because there was an
interview of the vocalist. His name is Sebastian Gallardo and he studied to be
a musician in Uniacc at the first time, but then he went to england to study in
a very important university of performing arts.
So when i
finished reading all the interview, i went to youtube and i search them. They
were so good that i listened they first EP all afternoon.
The rest of
the members of the band are really talented, and of course that´s the reason of
why "We are the grand" had a lot of success. Actually, last year they
were invited from Lotus productions to participate in Santiago biggest concert
ever, i´m talking of Lollapalooza. And as you may be thinking i was there.
I dind´t mention that since
the first day i met them till now they have created 2 EP´s and one LP
(longplay), so jaja it is a very hard task to determine one song as my
favourite since I have a lot of songs of them in my playlist.
But anyways, i think my
favourite song of them is "Perfume". I´m leaving here the link of the
song played in the late show of Julio Cesar Rodriguez, also known as
"Siganme los buenos"
I don´t know why exactly i
like it more than the rest of the songs. But i think that many of the reasons
of why, are related with the rhythm and the lyrics. They get mixed in a
singular way that makes my heart rate just fly.
I can´t stop mentioning
that in one of the gigs i went from WATG (We are the grand), i met this
other band i also follow. They call themselves "Intimate
Stranger"...and they impressed me. Here i leave the link of a interesting
video called "El horizonte".
Enjoy.
