Fother Muckers!

I actually don´t have a favorite band but latelly I'm really into a band...

Fother Muckers is a chilean rock band that started its career in 2006, they have been edited three albums (LP) along this time and their names are "No soy uno" (I´m not one) in 2007, "Justo y necesario" (Just and necessary) in 2008 and the last album called "Si no tienes nada que decir, entonces calla" ( If you don't have anything to say, then shut up) in the last day of 2009. They also have two EP, "Fother Muckers" of 2006 and "Una navidad con los Fother Muckers" (A christmas with Fother muckers) on the Christmas of 2008.

They are really great on stage, the singer, Cristóbal Briceño is very eccentric person and he made a funny performance when he is singing :) Musically speaking they are very good because they are different from other chilean band, the voice of the singer is sometimes high and sometimes low and it makes that a special thing to considerate.

Their songs are varied, they have rapid songs and slow romantic songs. I always go to see their shows, actually they play this friday on "La Batuta", and I will go, of course ;)

My netbook :)

I love my netbook, it's the most comfortable piece of technology that I have. This is a little computer, smaller that a regular notebook, but with almost the same functions. I bought it for me, in February of the current year because in March I would enter to the university and I thought that it would be useful for do the homeworks and the research for the works.

So I use the netbook mostly for the univesity homework, like I said before, but I also use it for chat with my friends and boyfriend, listen to music, play the most incredible game ever called Plants v/s Zombies, read blogs or websites and for learn more about things that I like or that I'm interested on.

I use it almost every day, there is always something to do, someone to talk or new things to learn.

I like it because it's useful, compact, comfortable and beautiful. It brings closer to me the information and, most important, the people that I loved and that I can´t see often now.

Without my netbook, my life would be almost the same, for the exception that I have to fight with my father and sister for the use of the other computer, that is of my dad.

That it's probably the best thing of my netbook, that it's mine, I bought it with the money that I had saved in the bank, so I can use it without asking for permission to anyone !

That's cool :D

Alain Touraine

Alain Touraine is a french sociologist who was born on August 3rd of 1925 in the city of Hermanville-sur-Mer, he studied at the Columbia, Chicago and Harvard universities in the United States.

He worked as a researcher in the French National Council of Investigation until 1958.

He founded the Study Centre for the Work Sociology in our loved university and he focused his career on Latin America and Poland's social troubles.

He recibed in 1998 the Amalfi european award of sociology and social science for his contribution of the discipline.

I like and admired this person because of the relationship that he has made with my continent and because he based his work in the Sociological Intervention (concept that appear from the investigation on Poland and that is recopilated in the book The voice and the look, in french Voix et le Regard) that it´s the form that sociologist can be envolved with the people you are investigation making of sociology a discipline that it's in contact with the people, a warm social science.

Unusual and beautiful.

In my last birthday, I turned eighteen and in this morning my younger sister appears with a little red box with white dots in it... I opened it and I found a lot of little presents that she had been bought for me... It was a little box in the red box with sunflower's seeds for I plant (my sister is very very hippie) a little notebook with coloured pages, a gorgeous paper flower, a candy and a kind of poem that said beautiful things about our sister's relationship :)

I was very happy with my gift because my sister never express her feelings so externally like that ! I got really emotional about that and I think that I cried... It was a heart to heart gift with a extra special level of details that showed a lot of love !

It was a really realy beautiful present, I loved it :D

Night of nightmare.

That night I was at my home, my whole family where there too, but I was the only one awake... I had been on the computer chatting online with my boyfriend and when I got sleepy I went to the bathroom because I wanted to brush my teeth. Suddenly the light went out and the electric generator of my building began to worked, making a loud and terrible noise, that was the first time of this night (the others come inmediatly) that I got scared...

I continued brushing my teeth, trying not to be scared but in this moment the floor began to move, first slowly... and every time faster. I heard that my parents awoke and I call my sister who was still sleeping. We got together and the land began to shake very fast and we are all very scared, screaming and even crying... I tried to calm myself but the fear where stronger than me!

Then the earthquake stopped and, still in shock, we started to order the mess that had turns out and, of course, tried to communicate with our family and my boyfriend... we spend the most horrible hours worried about our loves ones, but fortunately they are well and nothing happens to them :)

It was, so far the most horrible experience that I've ever lived, but I think it makes me stronger and the next time I'll be prepared to face one of this horrible events!
