Blog Session nº6 Animation or cartoons!

Hey everyone!

When we voted for the free topics for blogsessions, I didn't know what I was going to write about, but a couple of weeks ago I watched an animated movie, The Tale of Princess Kaguya, by Ghibli studio, and that became immediately one of my favorite animations, so that's what I'll share with you!

This movie tells us the story of a bamboo cutter named Sanuki no Miyatsuko, who discovers a miniature girl inside a glowing bamboo shoot, and then he adopts her with his wife. As the man was sure of her divine origin, they decide to raise her as a princess. And I won't continue telling you about it because I really think you should watch it ;)

I loved the animation of the movie (as well as its plot, its music, and its message) because it clearly showed different drawing styles to describe feelings of the main characters, and that is a detail that I was fascinated by. And then, if I think about it, the movie as a whole is an amazing, simple and very complete view of life.

Here you can see its trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM6hcHp0_kU

So now, it's your turn.

Blog Post N°5

A photography you like and its story!

Hi girls and boys!
This week's post is about a photography you like, any of them! It can be one you took, or a famous one taken by a photographer of your choice.

Here's mine!

                           

 In the picture, you can see George Harrison, and Bob Marley (and two other people I don't know)

I've liked these musicians for a long time now. Harrison, former guitar player and my favorite Beatle, is also the name of my first dog. And Marley, family name of one of the greatest artists/activists I know, is the name of my first cat :)

                                                

                           Here's my version of it. These are my Harrison and Marley :)

This took place in Copiapó, where I adopted Marley. She was about 4 months old in the picture, Harrison had never lived with a cat before, but he's such a lovely dog that he never had problems with her. This picture is special because it reminds me good times. It was taken back in 2014 when I lived in the Atacama Region. The reason why I chose this picture is because these animals were my family then, since I lived alone and knew nobody there. 

                                      
                                         EXTRA!!! Just because they look so cute!

So...

Blog session N°4

Hi Everyone!

We're already in the fourth session of this semester! times flies, uh?

In this session, you'll be free to speak about this topic:

M U S I C


For me, music is many things. I really love listening to it, and I even like singing.
I believe I can sing, even though I'm clearly not a talented singer. In my opinion, singing has to do with emotions, and not only techniques and voice. So maybe everyone could be a singer, if they found a song they could truly sing from their hearts.

Now, from the listener point of view, I think music nowadays has been corrupted by the market,  I mean, the music industry. Most of nowadays musicians seem to sing in a very shallow way, and the styles and lyrics that are on fashion these days, are not very good.

My favorite music styles are rock, reggae and hip hop. For a long time now, I've been listening to Sublime almost every day. Have you heard this band before?
Here's one of their songs :)
