DOGS

Animals are a very good company, when we are sad or when we need somebody that can listen us, we can stroke our pets, they'll give us all the love that we need in that hard time.

 I have two dogs, Pepe and Nick, they are not pedigree dogs but they have a beautiful fur. The first dog that come to home was Pepe in 2005, he was a liitle black hair puppy, very cute. In 2011 Nick appear in our home, he was lost, he walked by the streets. Nick have a beautiful blond hair color, he is very loving but a bit restless. Dogs are my favorite animals. In my house there is two hamsters too, but they belongs to my sister.

I think that domestical animals are a very good company, every person can have one, but they must be responsible whit him, give him love, food and respect like any other people of the family. I can understand  the existence of  people who kill animals to be happy, that is so bad, and there is so many people like this in the world.

I would like to have an exotical animal called Uron, I think they are so funny  because they have a long body like a fat cat tail xD, moreover, they are very cute, his hair is soft and white (there is in other colours but I like the white colour in this  type of animals xD). Some day I'm gonna have one.

Two years ago I had two turtles, they was the most exotic animals ever I had, but they died becouse the weather in their aquarium was very cold, so sad :(.

Three years ago a had an Poodle Dog, thas was the first pedigree dog I had; one day he scaped and never come back, I felt so sad because he was a very lovely dog. I hope he can remember me in any place when he can be now.

JAPAN

When I was 17 years old,  I knew the Japanese culture because I met a group of persons (my better friends later) that liked the music of this country, particulary the Japanese rock (j-rock). I started to learn a little of their culture, their language and writing; that was the rason because I felt admiration about the Japanese culture. From this time I thought Japan would be an interesting place for living, with its strange rituals and ways of living (althought the houses in Japan are very small and expensive because there are many people).

I would like to live in Japan because I think they have a very developed culture, they are very respectful with the places and people (in Chile nobody respects the others). Japan is one of the most developed cultures in technology  and design, they have a different way of thinking about life, they are so productive in work, a bit obsessive, but they win experience to produce very good works.
Japan has a modern life system in architecture and design, mixing its old culture with new tendencies that give it these features of modernism.

Japan is the place where the animation and videogames were born, it is a very fun place.
I would like to work designing for a company, doing a lot of work related to my career, and I would like to be a recognized designer.

I think I'll never live in Japan because it is very hard to achieve this, but one day I'll visit there to know its culture and cities, and I'll try to learn more about its language  because it calls my attention so much.

DEATH NOTE

I think that Death Note has been one of the best anime shows I never saw; this is a TV show created in base of the Japanese comic book called "Manga". The story is about a guy that finds a weird book called "Death Note", this book has the peculiarity that can kill every person whose name will be written there; this book was property of a God of the death (In Japanese it is called Shinigami) called "Ryuk" who let it fall intentionally in the human world. "Light" (Raito), the guy who finds this book, starts to read the instructions thinking that it is a very stupid joke. He does a test writing the name of a killer that they are showing on TV, fourty second later this killer is dead. Light thinks that he can change the world with this book and starts to write so many names of killers, violators and thieves (bad persons) who they are showing on TV. Ryuk appears in front of Light and tells him that he will follow him for a lomg time having fun with what he is doing.

Light starts to kill so many people and thinks that he is a type of God in the earth. The peolple call this divine justice like "Kira" (Relative a Killer in Japanese language). But Light is in the eyes of the police (his father is a detective) as there is a very clever guy ("L" or "Eru" in  Japanese) that manages to think like a killer of this type.

 I think that I like it because it has a very clever level of argumentation in every moment,  how Kira kills peolple, the reasons of death, the thinking form of L to solve some queries, and the drawing is very showy.

The difference with other TV shows is: First, it is an animated series, no like with actors and real stages. Second, the plot is very interesting from the point of view of the justice and the power.

 This series called my atention in every moment because the central plot is a bit complex but very interesting, I felt so sad with the final chapter.

The characters were very clever persons with good and bad feelings, a bit cold but with a great reasoning ability. 

LANA DEL REY

Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, artistically known as "Lana del Rey", is an new yorker  composer and singer. She is 26 years old. Her name was born in the union of an actress called "Lana Turner" and the cars model called "Ford Del Rey".

She is a very young woman that is starting in the music world. She has performed in diferent television programs, among them, "Saturday Night Live show" where she became well known. Her first album was in digital format, it was called "Lana Del Ray a.k.a Lizzy Grant"; this album was released in 2010. In January of 2012 her second studio album was released, called "Born to Die", this was in physical format.

The type of music that "Lana del Rey" plays has a relation with the atmosphere Jazz style and a little of hip hop style.

I like this artist because she has a singular musical and visual style; that is related to the old American aesthetic (60´s -70´s).

I like the song called "Video Game" because I dedicate it to my girlfrend; this song has beautiful lyrics and a very attractive melody that makes me feel as if I were in older times.

She is starting her career like a great artist that has a great future.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Michel Contreras, that's my name. I was born in Santiago, I'm 20. I have a sister, she is 11 years old, a very dangerous girl xD, but I love her. I live with my parents and grandparents, they are my mom´s parents.

When I was 5 years I went to kindergarden, this was very sad because I didn't want to go to school, it made me very sad because I was afraid of meeting other children. The school was called "Lo franco", it was in Quinta Normal. I stayed there for the next 4 years.

When I was 9, we moved to Quilicura with my parents; one year later my sister was born .

I studied in Santa María School; during that time I had my first pet, Pepe, a beautifull black "quiltro" dog; i met many people, including great friends. When I was 17 I took the "PSU" test. After School I entered university. Currently i'm studying Graphic Design at Universidad de Chile, i really love it because I think it is what I want for the rest of my life. In this place i knew my girlfriend, she is the first woman in my life, i'm so happy for this.

My hobbie is playing the electric piano, and listening to different kinds of music, I love music. I like going out with my girlfriend, and eating... that's so bad xD, I'll be very fat jajajaja; we love seeing movies. I love drawing and painting. In my free time i read old Japanesse horror mangas (comics), it's so cool.

I like to play with my pets... i said "pets" becouse currently i have a new dog called Nick.

I would like to travel to Japan and know their culture.

That's my life in some words.
