Hobby

Hi!

Today I will write about a hobby I have.

My hobby is belly dancing. I really don’t know at this point if it’s a hobby, because with the time I’m more involved with this dance and I spent more time and money. So, I think is something more professional right now.

Anyways, I started to dance last year at January.  I began to dance in a summer workshop, but I was in love with this dance at the moment I started, so, when the workshop finished I started to assist to my present studio: Estudio de danza oriental Nazli.

Right now, I’m in my second year and I’m a member in the amateur ballet of my studio: Troupe Shadia, but I was promoted to the professional ballet: Ballet Saeeda, and I will start next year.

I enjoy belly dancing because when I dance I feel happy and my heart is full although that sounds like an exaggeration, it’s true. On the other hand, I like belly dancing because I learned more about this culture and because I travel and meet different people, like belly dancers, musicians, etc.

Finally, I spent a lot of time in this. I have regular class at mondays and I have rehearsal with Troupe Shadia at saturdays, but when we have a presentations we have rehearsals in other day at week. 

Gabriela Mistral

Hi!

Today I will write about the greatest Chilean of all time in my opinion.

I think the greatest Chilean of all time is Gabriela Mistral. She was a poetess and was an important figure in Latin America and she won Nobel Prize.

She did so many things, she wrote a lot of book, for example: “Lecturas para mujeres. Destinadas a la enseñanza del lenguaje”, “Antología” or “Ternura. Canciones de niños: rondas, canciones de la tierra, estaciones, religiosas, otras canciones de cuna”. (The last book my mom read to me every night before I went to sleep), and she was a diplomatic woman too.

She is important to me because I grew up with her poems and because her history. She was a woman that broke with structures in the way that she could in her period of time. I think she had a hard history, but anyway she made in an important figure.

If I could make a question to her or talk with her, I would like to ask things about feminism and her opinion about this topic, because I think she was revolutionary and I think she had a lot of things to say. I think it’s interesting think how she react in our age about the process that we are living right know, and think about the obstacles that she had to pass for been a woman that she was and today we all remember. 

sport

Hi!

Today I will write about a sport I enjoy watching.

I enjoy watching soccer. When I was a child I usually played soccer with my friends, but when I grew up I started to watch this game more than I playing it,  I knew the rules, so was easy for me enjoy watching this sport.

When I was younger I was a big fan of this sport, in fact every weekend I watched the games, but with the time I started to be more critical with the people that get their fanaticism to the next level and hurt people or break things because of that. The stadiums are more dangerous because people goes with the predisposition to fight for their favorite club and we have all seeing the episodes that people fight because the team that they love most. I think it’s very dangerous these practices because none exist a dialogue and in consequence we don’t have tolerance. I think all these things makes that I take distance with the game.

However, I still enjoying watching soccer. It’s a good panorama for me, go to the stadium or see the game at home with family or friends and snaks or go to see my boyfriends soccer games.

I hope in the future we can live with more tolerance and enjoy with this sport  and also I hope today Chile can win.
