A never ending movie

I don´t remember the first time I saw this movie, probably in a national channel, or maybe my mom rented it (on Errol’s of course!), the thing is that I was like 5 years old, and the movie talked about fantasy, dreams, fear and the sad that adults world were.
The movie I’m talking about is Die unendliche Geschichte, also called The never ending story directed by Wolfgang Petersen and released in 1984, this movie is an adaptation of a book, the story shows us a common day in Bastian’s life, a kid like we all were in the past, but who has his own problems, like the lost of her mother, and the bulling he suffered everyday from other children bigger than him. One day escaping from that kids, Bastian hide in a special bookstore, were the librarian was reading a strange book that called Bastian’s attention. Disobeying the librarian’s advice, a curious Bastian took away the book to read it. When he starts reading the story in the book is when Bastian starts a never ending story.
I’m not going to tell you anymore, I would spoil you if you haven’t seen it jet. It’s a really good movie with old FX, a bit childish maybe, but the message is really good for all adults and kids, to never stop dreaming.

Hope you see it someday.

The best ads in all the WOW

Hello, today I’m going to write about a couple of commercials that I simply love!

I’ve saw them a lot of times, I never get tired of them. These commercials were an advertising camping that the company BLIZARD makes for his top product, the MMORPG (Massive online Multiplayer role-playing games) World of Warcraft.




On this commercials you cans see a bounck of famous (and cool) characters, mostly actors, like Lawrence Tureaud (Mr T), Jean Claude Van damme, William Shatner, ozzy Osburne, verne troyer (mini-me from Austin Powers), Willy Toledo (Spanish actor) and some others, they were exhibited in television and internet mostly in WOW official website and youtube.




The greatest about these commercials is that these characters tell to the audience the great its wow by talking about THEIR characters and the abilities or good points they have. Of course every ne gives to their character unique qualities, for example Van Damme speaks about their character a Mage Troll, and he talks about the bored he was of fighting with his fists in real life, but in the game he could use magic, play with the elements (ice, fire, etc) and polymorph others into sheeps.




I hope you found these spots so funnies as I though they are, you have to see all of them, and they are simple greatest ad I saw (of course in the context that you know these characters).

Wasn't me!



During the earthquake that did Chile shake last February I was in the beach with my mom, we were sleeping. My mom waked me up and told me to get covered in the door frame; I pass the entire earthquake sleeping in the door frame. I was really unconcern about all that; just when it finished and I wake up a bit more I realized that the house could fell down, because it’s really old.

During the earthquake I felt really sleepy, and in a mean mod because I hate interrupted sleep. My mom was worried and praying for the house not to come down.

Maybe if the movement would have been a bit more intense and longer, the whole house would fall down, also the Santiago house; fortunately nothing bad happened to the constructions itself.

I’m a really unconcerned person, so I’m okay, the earthquake isn’t a big topic to me, it’s gone, it will be others in the future but it’s ok, people die every time, so I don’t really worried if I die in an earthquake, tsunami or something, the only thing that I really care about it’s that my beloved persons didn’t get hurt (and that is like 3 people In the world), it’s a bit egoistic, but that’s how I am.
