Best new year's party ever

Well, I think the best New Year’s party ever, was the last one. I always have with my grandparents this date, always it's very boring and I got drunk only with champagne and piscola. But this one among all my new year's party was the best, because 2011 was a very difficult year to me. I had a lot of problems and the New Year got to me new hopes.

I was with my grandparents, Emma and Jose, and my mom. They ate a lot of food, I didn’t because was the first time I was on diet so, I took care with food but not with the drink. There were barbecue, salads, rice, potatoes, wine, soufflés, ramitas and peanuts. My grandmother decorated the house. When we finished the dinner, turned on the TV and we watched the countdown.

My mother, my grandma and me had planned a lot of cabalas like eat 12 grapes and make a wish per month, sit and stand up, the yellow underwear, lentils, we saved money in pockets, etc. If I think about this, any wish was conceded u.u but it was a wonderful way to leave behind the terrible 2011.

Later, arrived my uncle Antonio and his family and I drank a lot of champagne and laugh a lot with family histories although they were repeated. My uncle brought the cotillion and was very beautiful.

Little things to be a recycler person.

I think people can learn about environmentally friendly practices at home with little things like turn off the light and close water keys when you’re not using them or in the garden you should wet the floor before you sweep it because dust don’t pollute, for example.

I haven’t incorporated recycling into my habits because it demands a lot of time, I haven’t informed about the different practices and because I forget it. I think I don’t have mind. So, sometimes when glass break I throw the pieces into the common trash (then, I either separate the trash into organic, paper, plastic or glass)

I don’t have a car. I live so far of the university then I have to take bus and it take about an hour. If I used the bike, I would take two hours… It’s a lot. But in summer or holidays I try to use the bike as much it’s possible.

Sometimes in Ahumada street (or some like that Estado or Huerfanos I don’t remember the name of the street) in the centre of city, there are a lot of stand with different organizations, among them there are eco- organizations. I would like to join to someone but I don’t have a lot of recycling habits and they ask your signature, money and a pledge with the organization…so I don’t have enough time and money to take the pledge.

Well I think all people should learn little practices like trash separation or use the bike little more. Chilean government is very capitalist so the bike price go up in the last years I think. Besides there is not cycle paths in the far areas like La Pintana (before Transantiago there is one cycle path, the largest in Santiago, but we missed it). All is business. But these are little and easy things to start: trash and bike.

Video Game

I don’t know a lot about videogames and I’m not good playing them. But the videogames I know are Donkey Kong, Mario bros, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instict, Street Fighter, Pacman and the Sims. Latest videogames I know where Angy Bird and Bubble Switch Saga (or some game similar) and some games of WII. Well, the only one game I choose of these is Mario Bros because I always play it without get bored me. I know it since my father gave me a Nintendo console and I played it so many times, many hours with my cousins. I didn’t love it so much I preferred to play to hide- and –seek or play in the park… but when we played with Nintendo we compete with candies. I never got to complete the game, because Mario Bros has a lot of versions with a lot of levels or “worlds” like the country, desert, sea, under sea, Egyptian pyramids, etc. My favorite Mario Bros is “Super Mario World” by this graphics, music, the character Yoshi and the colors, although I played it few times.
