My favorite pictures

My favorite picture is one taken by Italo Hevia, one of my friends in USTO rugby club. That photograph shows me when I was playing rugby five a side with my friends in Viña del Mar, we were in the "Sports beach" of Viña del Mar and it was taken on February 20th.

I like this photo because it brings me good memories about my summer. I remember that it was 6 AM when I took the subway and met my friends to go by car to Viña del Mar. I never thought that playing in the sand was so exhausting, but it´s too hard running when your feet sink into the sand. Viña Rugby Club got the first place, and we got the third in the tournament, but they didn´t give us any medal. Anyway, we enjoyed it so much, because they gave us shirts of the tournament and organized a big barbecue after the event. But the funniest thing of that day was the party that “Mano sportswear” organized for us.

Viña de Mar at night is so funny, because there is a lot of discos and pubs that you can visit and enjoy. We went to “Buffalo Restobar” and we drank some beers for free, because “Mano sportswear” paid the drinks. Then we went with the other teams to a disco, and it was for free too. The party lasted all the night, and we were back in Santiago the next day.

So, that´s why I love this photo, because it expresses my love for this sport, and it shows me playing it in one of my favorite places to go with friends or family: the beach.

My favorite festivity

My favorite festivity is the week of september 18th, because it is the funniest week of the year.
I usually spend this festivity with my family, because in this kind of days I like to go out with my parents and my brother and sisters.
In that week, I like to go out with my family to some "fondas" in Santiago, specifically in Parque Intercomunal of La Reina. When we go to this fonda, we like to see the show that they prepared for the public. Then we go to eat some "empanadas", "anticuchos" and drink the famous "chicha". Chicha is a kind of fermented wine that the Chileans use to drink, specially in this festivities.
As I said, I usually go out with my family, but last year, I went to a friend´s house, in Calera de tango. We went to the local fonda and we ate a lot of anticuchos and drank beer and chicha. The fonda had a karaoke, so we went to sing (we sucked, except for my friend´s sister´s friends) and we enjoyed it so much. I remember that I got lost in the trip to Calera the tango, but then it didn´t matter, because that fonda was too funny.
Something I would like to do for this festivity is to go with a lot of friends to any fonda, or organize a big barbecue in my house, but I think it is too dificult to do, because all of my friends go out with the family.

My favorite piece of technology


My favorite piece of technology is my laptop. My father gave it to me when I was seventeen years old and I graduated from school.
In general, it is my favorite object, because it is the most useful thing that I have in my room. I use it to study, do homework, write essays, comunicate with my friend by chat, listen to music and play some video games.
I use my laptop every day, because I have to do so many works for the University and I need to talk with my classmates when it´s a grupal work. But when I don´t have anything to do for the University, I use it anyway, because I like to chat with my friends and know about them by facebook. And finally, when I have nothing to do in the day, I like to play my video games in my laptop, because I don´t have any videogame console. That´s why I use my laptop every day.
My life without it would be too complicated. I would have to do my work in my notebook or use the family PC, and that would be awful, because everyone wants to use it. I love my laptop.
