The Pink Panther

Well, my childhood was far away from the city so I didn’t read comic books, because there are so much fun activities in my home… Well, not so many as for don’t watch TV. I remember when I was a child my mom didn’t let me see the TV so much time, but when she let me see it, with my little sister we watched “The pink panther”. That cartoon was important on my life because made me discover a entire world outside my house, I mean, to find that “my” world was connected with “another” world, today I know that it’s the globalisation… Obviously, that was my first contact with the TV, and I admit that this square box fascinated me a little bit. However my mom and my grandparents had control my TV time and today I can say, saves my childhood of stupidity. Thanks to them!

I stopped to see them very often because I grew up, and along that cames a lot of responsibilities. I haven’t time for see it, and also my interests has naturally changed. (movies, music, etc.)

Well, “The pink panther” was an animated character created by Friz Freleng. Only I know that, besides the cartoon, there are movies, TV series and video games of this pink character. (Yes, I saw the movie and played its game when I was a kid). This cartoon was a comedy that told the adventures of the Pink Panther. This character was dumb, pink and so much funny! I liked for two things. First because it makes me laugh and second because its beautiful music, composed by Henry Mancini. That jazz song changed my life.

For a Eco-Santiago

This particular issue I thinks its deserve the most of our attention. First, because our quality life depends of that and second, because I don’t see that so many people here in Chile (and I’m included) are doing something about. Well, It’s true that they teach us some environmentally friendly practices in primary or high school (Even in college too). But that’s insufficient. I admite that I haven’t incorporated that recycling habit, because even if I recycle my home garbage, the guys of the city’s cleaning service (which are a private service, by the way) put all the garbage together in the truck and throw it again in the dump, without recycling before. I don’t know if the dumps are municipal, but I think that It’s like every chilean institution, private. And like private company they don’t think so much on recycling. And that has to change soon!

I certainly would like to have some of those good habits to help the world as use a bike, but I’m not from Santiago, and my bicycle is in my another house. But I don’t use a car either. I use the bus, but the Transantiago’s buses aren’t very ecological too! Well, I haven’t joined any Eco-organisations yet, because desinformation I guess. But I try myself to reduce energy consumption in my home and wherever I go. Also I join with my family to “Earth Hour” since two years ago. I would like to do so many things, but the main thing for me is to make energy-independent my home, using solar and wind energy.

Well, finally I don’t do many things to reduce my carbon footprint, but I’ll start searching and getting more information about this issue to make any change in my lifestyle a little bit. I think everybody see how damage we’re doing to our city. We’re missing a clean air, clean rivers, clean soil and all the farming products from it. Let’s do something!

The silence's World Cup

Well, if you are a fan of soccer you sure now that the FIFA World Cup Brazil 2014 is coming very soon. The TV news wants to make feel the people interesting and excited for the event. But that’s not the reality. By example, yesterday I saw on news that everybody in Brazil aren’t interested on World Cup. All because the social crisis that the World Cup’s organization has generated in the country. “The people in brazil is upset because the government spends the hundreds of millions of dollars on building stadiums and road infrastructure for the World Cup, and they don't spend anything on education, public health or fight against poverty or drug trafficking” said a popular brazilian writer. And seems like everybody in Brazil thinks the same way, ‘cause the cities still looking as if nothing will happen. The government's popularity has fastly decreased in last months because this organization includes a “pacification” of the most violent “favelas” or poor neighbourhoods, by example, in Rio de Janeiro. It has cost several human lives, mostly innocent children and youth used by the drug trafficking for his safety.


This news shocked me and makes me think about it. I think that the sports are good for children and youth, but the World Cup’s organization has committed several mistakes making the things that way now. When the sport activity tries to cover or silence the people demands, there is something wrong. Now I’m not so excited about this World Cup.

Work together again?

The article I have read is related to cinema, specifically about the work that Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie are developing for a future film. The article talks about the fact that this couple (married in the real life) haven’t worked together in a film since “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” in 2005, and that they will reunite for work in a movie project. In the article it’s says that this new project has based on a script written by Jolie. The plot is a mysterious, and that nobody knows yet if Pitt & Jolie will appear on screen or if they will work behind the camera. Is also known that both of them have worked behind the camera. Jolie has worked as producer and director and Pitt only as producer. In this respect, this article mention that the movie “12 Years A Slave” won the best picture Oscar this year, and Pitt was its producer. For its part, Jolie produced and directed “Unbroken”, a second world war survival drama that opening next December. As you see, both have a successful career such as actors but producers and directors (Jolie’s chase), and It’s so much difficult if we consider that they're a couple with 6 childrens, and this one project will make they work together for the first time since 9 years.
