My international friend

Hi again!

¿What I could write in this post?

Really I didn´t know about what to write, but thinking and thinking I had one idea related with English: my gringa friend called Laura!

About Laura…

Her name is Laura Philpott and she is 21. I and my friends called her “Lora”, because this way is pronounced her name in English jajaja

 Laura arrived to Chile in august of 2010 and she decided stay for one year here, therefore she goes back to EE.UU. in august from this year. Laura lives in Los Angeles California but she bored in San Francisco. She’s in third year of psychology in Santa Barbara’s university in California. All the people ask her: why Chile??!!!!, and she say: I don´t know! Only were the country and the university that had a similar program of psychology that the program from Santa Barbara. Anyway I know that she is happy with her choice and I and her Chilean friends too, she is really a good person, very nice and funny and she is very dear by all the people that meet her.

I knew to Laura in a class of last semester called Psicología Social II, and from that moment, little by little, we have made a nice friendship =). We do the homework together and moreover we go out with our friends and have fun! She always makes me laugh with her “Espanglish” language, LOL.

The sad goodbye

She leaves Chile the lasts days of June because before to go back to U.S.A in august she will go to Bolivia with a gringa friend and later she will visit Perú.

Laura promised come back to Chile and I promised her to go to EE.UU. to visit her some day. I hope that both keep our promise because promises are promises!!!! J

GUSTAVO CERATI

I think that an interesting topic to post in my blog is about one of my favourite singer: Gustavo Cerati.

¿How I find him?

I knew this fantastic music, singer and composer for a CD that a gas station called COPEC gives to my dad. In this CD there were many Latin’s bands of 80’, and one of them was Soda Stereo. I was only a child, I was around ten years old, and this kind of music wasn’t the typical to my age, but from that moment I loved his voice and his music style.

Soda Stereo

Soda Stereo was one of the most influential and important rock bands of all time of the hispanic music and of the latin rock. This band was formed in Buenos Aires in 1982 by Gustavo Cerati (singer-songwriter and guitarist), Héctor “Zeta” Bosio (bass) and Carlos Alberto Ficicchia (Charly Alberti, on drums) and in 1997 they broken up for personal problems.

            About the middle of 2007 the band announced his return to make only one continental tour called “Me Verás Volver” where attended more than a million of fans.

My sister and I had the opportunity to go to this amazing recital in the estadio nacional in 2008. This summer’s day was great; we were very excited and happy about the recital. We arrived to stadium very early, around 15:30, and the recital started to 21:00 hrs and the first thing that we did was to buy posters and head bans of the band. Our sweet mom prepared us delicious sandwiches to eat while we waited to see them.

The concert was really fantastic, my sister and I were the youngest in the public!!! LOL but we didn´t care because we were the most cheerful in the concert.

No doubt it was the best concert ever =)

Pitifully the Gustavo’s health isn´t good, I really hope he gets better soon

Only one thing to say: “GRACIAS TOTALES”
