My All Time Top 5 Animated Movies

 1. Treasure Planet     Directed by John Musker and Ron Clements. This science-fiction movie released in 2002 is one of my favourite. The story follows the adventure of the younger Jim Hawkins and his looking for the space pirate Captain Flint's treasure, traveling by the space-ship RLS Legacy with its crew. The movie is a free adaptation of the Louis Stevenson's novel Treasure Island. I love this movie for his beautiful and wonderful animation - specially the combinations of classical and 3d animation-, its good soundtrack and its lovely life development of the main character. 2. Atlantis: The Lost Empire.     This also science fiction movie release in 2001 follows the looking for the lost city of Atlantis by the linguist and cartographer Milo Thatch. Encouraged by an eccentric millonaire Preston B. Whitemore, and old friend of Milo's late grandfather. Milo joined to the expedition fund by Whitemore. But he will fight to save the lost city from the bad intecnti...

Five activities from last week

Last week brought to me a break for my daily activities, let me relax, enjoy the National Parties celebrations and share more with my family. In other-hands, last week let me do another activities like: 1. Visit family.     Last free week gave me the time to go to visit some aunts and cousins I didn't see long time. Sadly, I can only see a few people because most of them had plans for this past holidays, but I enjoyed see how the younger generation of my mom's family has grown up. Last time I was the highest, how things are going, I'm going to have average height in the family. 2. Listen to music.     With the free time I got the pleasant to listen some albums and playlist that I can't listen to how I have, So I took my smartphone and my speaker and shut myself in my bedroom listening those long-waited songs. Piero Piccioni, a master Italian composer! 3. Pending reading.     There were a lot of books I bought and I haven't read yet, cause study readings or ...

My Cultural Radar (Part 1, On process)

For today activities, I read the post with the cultural highlights from Robert Östlund, a swedish film-maker interviewed by The Guardian last month. In his recomendations, he invites to people to read a book trilogy he has enjoyed by his last life decade, the saga is written by a danish author called Thomas Korsgaard. From him, Östlund praised his "extraordinary way of portraying social situations". While, Triangle of Sadness' (2022) director highliths the presentation of  a theater play performed by Konstad AB in the Royal Dramatic theater in Stockholm and the film Anatomy of Fall, directed by Justine Tried, a Palm d'Or winner film at Cannes. By the other hand, the swedish recomends to visit the Bologna city for its beauty and its nice atmosphere, and recomends to assist to its summer season activities, and also he recomends to go to visit the Fondazione Prada meseum in Milan. His last highligh is dedicated to 

La Pequeña Gigante

 Along my short life, I've been in a few festivals, exhibitions and shows for reasons like I didn't hear about them or, simply, they didn't attract my attention. But when I was just a little kid, it came a show that nobody can miss for then. It was January of  2007 when the Santiago a Mil festival crowded the avenues and boulevards with the visite of  a six-meters-tall little girl in the capital city. The french theater company Royal de Luxe have come to the city to present its La Petite Géante show (The Little Big girl show), a six-meters-tall wooden doll who paralized the whole city to watch her take a shower, brush her teeth, and go to sleep. For then I was a 6 years-old kid, who with my family, was one who crowded Alameda to see this charismatic giant girl. I was so wondered to see walk this big doll through the avenue while the theater company players operate her pulling big strings and "flying" when strings pull them. For me that was the most beautiful and m...

El Yeso reservoir

 Good mornig, Reader! For my second post I'm going to tell you about a little trip I did in 2018. In July of that year, my cousin Carlos called me to invite me to go with him and his son, Benjamín, to a day trip to El Yeso reservoir, an important body of water that feed Santiago de Chile. The reservoir is placed in Andes at an important high from sea level (3000 mamsl), so it takes a few hours to get there from Santiago by car. My cousin decided to go up early and have lunch at the place, so I we left Santiago to El Yeso in the morning to arrive at noon. The travel through San José de Maipo was long and beautiful and I enjoyed the sight on the way.  As was planned, we arrived around noon, we left the car and began to walk to the reservoir. That was another long walk on a path next to the body of water while we were carrying the grill and the meat to make our food, but I don't really complain because I love the reflex of the mountains on the water while I was walking. Finally, ...

About Me

 Hello, Reader!  Welcome to my blog. My name is Martín Mejías Cárcamo, I'm 21 years old and I'm from Chile, the thinest, longest and southern country in the world. I live in Santiago de Chile, the Capital city, and nowadays I'm studying Architecture at Universidad de Chile. I began to study at the college in the first semester of 2020, in the middle of Covid-19 pandemic-, the worst desition I ever made as a college student-, but I have been able to carry with that mistake to current days. Only few subjects I have failed. In my family, I'm the last child of three siblings, so I'm "el conchito" of my family, and my older brother and sister bother me for that. As family, almost all like pets -less my mom-, in particular dogs, so we have two playful and funny doggies. Some of my hobbies are reading books, playing videogames, and mainly take naps in the afternoons. For learning purpose, I created this blog for practicing my English writing and learning how to e...
