¡Aún tenemos Patria, ciudadanos!



Hi!
As you can see, my post has become finally in a very patriotic one….because today I will like to tell you about The greatest Chilean of all time( for me obviously) …
The fatherland defender… Manuel Rodriguez!
This Guerrilla leader born in Santiago on February 27, 1785. He is considered one of founder of independent Chile. He took a lot of roles like lawyer, politician, soldier and  guerrilla leader  in the independent process.
In the “ Reconquista” period his work as a bushwhacker, spy an principal figure of the resistance made of him something like a myth and a popular legend in everyplace in Chile.In fact He was the most-wanted man during the rule of the Spanish Governor of Chile.  
One of his remembers heroic deeds were his assaults on Melipilla and San Fernando that became in a important part of San Martín's strategy to divert attention away from the "Liberating Army" that entered Chile and triumphed at the Battle of Chacabuco.
Sadly he dies betray with a bullet wound on his back nearly to Til-til while He was moving to Quilota`s jail.
At this time Manuel has become in a very popular Icon, inspiring poetry and a lot of Folk Literature and Music as “El Aparecido” a knowing song from Victor Jara inspired in Manuel Rodriguez “ El guerrillero”.
He is really cute isn`t it?
Now that I look his biography and I can tell all the great things he do for his Fatherland, I would really  like to met him, and asking a lot of questions, for example I´d would like to ask him ¿What he thinks that fatherland is? ¿Where he takes all that power to protect it? I can’t ask him… but anyway all his heroic deeds make me believe in his person and in the power and solidarity of human beings.

Whatever, in 1998, when I had like a 5 years old and I still believe in the " Viejito Pascuero", I ask to Viejito Pascuero a litlle jumper horse....yes a small horse made of gum and you can jump mounted on him...
Well the magic happens that Christmas and the little horse arrived... When I saw at first I couldnt believe that Viejito pascuero brought to me what I was asking for, was unbelievable, I was in shock cause it was all I wanted ,A purple Horse with yellows spots!
I dont Know Why that Childhood present was the best for me , It wasnt a big deal but I really love it!
Well I have to make a special thanks to Viejito Pascuero that made my dream possible !


Now that I look some pictures of it..I think its very ugly, but when you are 5, you feel the the things in other ways, I just remember of the fact of being super -mega happy with my horse. Thats Awesome!

The Power of language

Hi everyone! Today I`m going to talk about Language
How I can tell from Mark Pagel talk :"How language transformed humanity", language it`s the only solution to end with the selfishness , how Pagel explain on the video language has been as the big and fantastic tool that the human could ever invented. If we think a little bit, nothing will exist if we didn't have language , everything we do as a social individuals we do trough the language. And we can live alone, we need the others ones , that`s  why we called sometimes social animals , and Mark Pagel says so...we used language because we need to cooperated between us, its the essential thing to be  part of the society , to be part of a family, to have friends.
At this Globalization times, English has been the tool to express to others our feelings, our thoughts...everything.We can be part of this one big world knowing english. Somebodys says that all is work of  Yankee Imperialism ...I do the same sometimes, but  after this video I think a little deeper and I realize that using the same language is the only way to share with others, to make friends, to make a better world that respect the differences. Sharing our knowledge , ideas, good feelings... and spread the peace around the world. :)  At the end that`s the thing that make us humans.
