Draco, I watch you every night


Hello again reader! Now it  is time to talk about movies. I really love to go to the cinema and spend hours and hours watching movies (on the TV too!) because they take you to another reality for a while and I can feel different emotions. Movies are a kind of magic.
I like any types of movies. I love animated movies like "Nightmare before Christmas", marvel´s movies like "The avengers", movies about other centuries like "Amadeus", horror movies like "Saw". But now I want to talk about a very special movie for me: Dragon heart.

         
Dragon heart was made as 1996 (when I was 3 years old) directed by Rob Cohen, it was nominated for the academy awards for best visual effects, also this movie was nominated to the Oscars for visual effects.

This movie is a beautiful story about the last dragon named Draco,  and about  Bowen (actor: Dennis Quaid) who is a dragon hunter. The destiny wanted to two enemies to  make a nice friendship. Bowen shows his real profession, he is a knight, he was served to the crown but the king turns into a bad and cruel person so, now it  is  Bowen and Draco´s job to defeat him. Also Draco has a dream, when he dies, he wants to transform into a constellation. This is the greatest honor for any dragon because this is the way to show that his life was important.
After the fight with the king, Draco gives his life for the victory and finally his dream comes true. All his friends and Bowen can see him in the sky every night.

I like this movie because when I was five years old I saw it all the time. It is strange that a kid doesn´t get bored with that type of movie but I fell in love with Draco and his history. That love still exists and every time that this movie is transmitted on the TV it is like the first time.

Daddy Freud!!!



Hello reader! Let me tell you that I´m a Psychology student. Six years ago I made that decision and I say thanks for this to one man... Sigmund Freud 



He was born in Austria and is considered the father of psychoanalysis. I don´t know much about his biography but I know Freud was one of the most recognized thinkers of the twentieth century. 

I don´t consider myself a psychoanalysis  fanatic but I admire Freud because he helped me, he showed me that psychology is a good and interesting career. When I was in the school, I didn´t have any idea about my future an then in philosophy the teacher explained to  us about Freud and his work. The idea that the human behavior can be explained with his theories of unconscious, something that we can´t control,  was amazing! after that I wanted to learn more about this and finally I fell in love with that world. 
That´s why I admire Freud, because alive or dead... does´t matter, he´s still touching people, like me

Favourite music



Hello again dear reader, this time I´m going to talk about music.
Well, I listen music every day at least one hour so, is a very important part of my life. My style of music is very diverse, I like jazz, clasic, pop, ska and more, but in this occasion I´m going to talk about one of my favourite musical groups: Queen

Queen is a british rock band, it was created in the 70´s and they be a part of the history of music. My uncle says that the voice of Freddie Mercury (the volcalist) is so special that you need hear a song for the first time and notice that Mercury is the singer.

In another post I say that one of my hobbies is paint, well... I not paint in silence, Queen is my partner, that music bring me peace and concentracion, all this with a little bit of craziness.

I don´t have a favourite song of Queen (I love all of them) but in my mind appears one melody, "somebody to love", I don´t know, is a very good song and sometimes I find myself singing it.          

The next picture shows the group:


Finally Here is the song "somebody to love":

First post... yay!!!


The journey starts now. Hello! dear reader, maybe you stay here for luck or an accident but anyway, I´m glad because you can read my first blog in english! 

First, let me introduce myself:
My name is Francisca Belen Cortes Anacona, I always write my second last name because my mother bring me more than everything, that reason makes me be proud for my name.... all my name.
I born in Santiago, Chile in a summer day specifically on March 18. The funny thing of all of this is that I really hate summer, the hot places, the sun burning you skin, oh my god is terrible. The worst part is that my city (Santiago) is very VERY hot, specially on summer. Sometimes I think I´m going to melt.
I live with my mother in the center on the city, is very comfortable because all of things are very close like supermarkets, parks and stores of any kind.
I have studied in three schools, someone can think that is too much but a kid always can made new friends, the last one was called "Liceo 1 Javiera Carrera" I spent there six years and I have good memories. Now I´m twenty years old and I study at the University of Chile.
I love paint and read, but I can tell more of this in another post because this topics deserve a full post. 
See you later!
