Hi everyone today I’m going to talk about my favorite sport which is Mixed Martial Arts also known by its acronym, "MMA". This sport is  is a full-contact combat sport that allows both striking(directed physical attack with either a part of the human body) and grappling( techniques, maneuvers, and counters applied to an opponent) , both standing and on the ground, using techniques from other combat sports and martial arts like  Boxing, Karate, ,Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Judo etc.

I started to watch this sport when I was 14 years old approximately, in that time this sport was not very popular because it was considered too violent but fortunately trough the last couple of years this idea has changed and this sport has been growing constantly. I like this sport because I’ve grown watching martial arts movies and cartoons.

In order to practice this sport you need to have special equipment, mainly a couple of small open-fingered gloves, this is required mainly because to avoid hand and wrist injuries and reduce the occurrence of cuts during the fights, also if you are man, you will need to wear a groin protector. I haven’t practice this sport but I think in the future I would like to do it.

This sport in our country is not as popular as other sports but I think in the near future it will be at least as popular as other combat sports, like boxing for example.

MY DREAM'S JOB :)

Hi everyone today I’m going to talk about my dream's job. I had never thought about this topic before, as far as I can remember I’ve never had something like an ideal job, so it’s very difficult to me describe one, and also because I consider myself too young to think about this kind of things, but unfortunately, I have to do it, it seems like I’m becoming into a boring person, at the end of the day this was supposed to happen someday, and the day is finally here.

I suppose my dream's job would be a free-lance job related to public administration- which is the major I’m studying-because of the flexibility of this kind of jobs, which would allow me to dictate my own hours, work at times most convenient to me and also because I’m not a fan of office politics.

Also I prefer this kind of job because would like to have a work-life balance, ‘cause I rather have more time to spend with my family than win a lot of money. I think I like this kind of jobs also because, as a freelancer, you are able to choose the clients you wish to work with and the projects on which you want to be involved, this is mainly because I don’t want to be worried about a possible excess of work

I hope you have enjoyed reading , see you again until next time .

My Favorite Animal

Hi everyone, today I’m going to talk about my favorite animal. I think it is really hard to choose just one animal because all they are amazing, but if I have to choose one, it would we Komodo dragon, which is a kind of giant lizard, in fact it is the world biggest lizard, they grow to an average length of 2–3 meters and weigh around 70kg, which makes people call them “living dinosaurs” or “dragons”.

This animal like many others is on the verge of extinction, in the case of the Komodo dragon there are approximately only 5,000 specimens of this variety of lizards, and the situation is even worse because there may now be only 352 females having babies in the wild, so it’s very probably that if this situation continues as it goes right now, in the near future they may not survive.

Hopefully there are organizations that protect Komodo dragons from illegal hunting and other kind of destructive circumstances like volcanoes and earthquakes, one of these organizations is the Komodo National Park located in Indonesia, which was named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991, recognizing the labor of protects animals in the verge of extinction, in this case in specific Komodo dragons.

We have to become aware about these kind of problems. I hope you have enjoyed reading see you again until next time  

My Favorite Book

Hi everyone today I’m going to talk about my favorite’s book which is The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, a short novel by Lovecraft, a very well-known American horror fiction author.

I read this book because I had to do a high school’s work, which consisted in recommend a book to the class and also because I wanted to show to my classmates a book that probably most of them didn’t knew.

This novel was written in 1927 and the story takes place in Providence, Rhode Island. The novel, set in 1918, describes how a guy called Charles Dexter Ward, a young man from a wealthy Rhode Island family becomes obsessed with his distant ancestor, Joseph Curwen, who was an alleged wizard with strange habits. Ward physically is very similar to Curwen, and also is interested in his ancestor strange habits.

The story is mainly focused on the investigation done by ,Marinus Bicknell, Ward’s family doctor , in order to discover the reason for Ward's strange physiological changes. Willett discovers that Ward had spent the past several years attempting to discover the grave of Joseph Curwen.

During the course of the plot, the doctor begins to reveal the truth behind the legends surrounding Charles Dexter Ward ancestor, an eighteenth-century shipping entrepreneur and alleged wizard and also discovers that apparently, Charles Dexter Ward is a reincarnation of Joseph Curwen.

This book is one of my favorites mainly because of his story, which I think is very interesting, ‘cause I’m also interested in things related to wizardry and that kind of things.

A concert i've been to

In 2014 finally my favourite band  called "HIM" came to Chile for the first time ever, this finish ''Love Metal" band is even nowadays my favourite band, so i think this is by far the best concert I’ve ever been.

                

The Show was in Caupolicán Theatre which is one of my favorite in Santiago, 'cause you can see the show from every corner of the place, fortunately I was right in the front of the band ,specifically in the front of Migue , HIM's bass player, even then I see them on stage I still couldn't believe I was in front of them.

They're well know for being such wonderful musicians and also because of their lead singer, Ville who i think is  one of the best singers I've ever listened live. I was very surprised, cause i was a little bit worried before the concert because I had doubts respecting of the sound of the band in a live concert cause sometimes there are huge differences in the quality of sound of a band live comparing their studio records.

Ville Valo, the singer, spoke in Spanish a lot of times, saying "Muchas gracias" to the audience or when he was presenting the rest of the band with the names of their role in the band, he pronounced perfectly every word.

15 minutes before the show was near to end, there was an earthquake in Antofagasta, a city placed in the north of Chile, most of the audience didn't even know, but then some part of the audience started to talk each other about an earthquake in our country. Hopefully the earthquake was not as devastating as we thought initially.
