Concerto.

And I'll keep braging, because yesterday I went to a concert that was simply spectacular; Yann Tiersen in Chile. For the ones that don't know him, he's a french composer, the same that composed the soundtracks for movies like Amelie, or Goodbye Lenin.

And you'll say, Why you didn't get some pictures? Well... I forgot the camera. Haha. And also I believe that being recording ruins the moment that you should be enjoying. I always tried to have that separation between photography and life, I think photography is something you must dedicate in the right times, but life... you must live it, and enjoy it. I don't know if you can understand me, Hehe.

Anyways, the concert really got me emotioned. I've gone to lot of concert, and I think that they were good concerts; Madonna, The Academy Is, etc. But in this one, you could clearly see that all the integrants, and Yann over all with his violin, expelled energy and pasion, by tons. A perfectly spent cash, and enjoyed.

Y sigo alardeando porque ayer fui a un concierto sencillamente espectacular; Yann Tiersen en Chile. Para los que no lo conocen, es un compositor francés, el mismo que compuso los soundtracks de peliculas como Amelie, o Goodbye Lenin.


Me diran "porque no sacaste fotos?" Pues bien... se me olvido la cámara. Haha. Y ademas, creo que estar grabando arruina el momento de disfrutar. Siempre he tratado de tener esa separacion entre fotografia y vivir, creo que la fotografia es algo a lo que te debes dedicar en los momentos precisos, pero la vida, esa debes vivirla y disfrutarla a concho. No se si me entiendan, Hehe. 


En fin, el concierto me emociono de veras. He ido a muchos conciertos, y creo que buenos; Madonna, The Academy Is, My Chemical Romance, etece, etece... Pero en este, se podia ver claramente que los integrantes, y sobretodo Yann con su violin expulsaban energia y pasion a mares. Un dinero totalmente bien gastado, y disfrutado.

Birdie 36 - WHAT?

I really don't know why, but while I'm growing up, I start to hate that awful boyish-gangsta look that all the Chilean girls... love? No, I wouldn't say that, but a lot like. I think that being in a catholic school has its part of responsability of it. Okay, I passed my rebel epoque, I had crazy or punky friends, I wore black and awful clothes (not the kind of black that makes you look as a voguette), and specially depressing. And then, I started to have a transformation, that finished in a girl that wears feminine clothing, as blouses or skirts. SURPRISE! Is not that I'll reject you a band t-shirt, and is a little bit contradictory, because I totally love rock, and all what it implies. You know, The Runaways and that stuff. My style depends on the day actually. Some days I like to wear my skinny jeans and a funny shirt, and there are days when I rather wear skirt. But I think being feminine is important. It stresses me to see girls that look like guys. And the worst thing is that that change of role is very common.

P.S. : I mean, you can rock out and also be feminine... or not? Joan Jett knew how to do that.

 ------------

No se porque será, pero a medida que voy creciendo comienzo a detestar ese look hortero del que todas las chilenas se sienten... orgullosas? Bueno, no sabria decir eso. Creo que estar en colegio religioso afecto un poco en todo eso. Les cuento, pase por mi epoca de rebeldia, tenia amigas medias locas, o medias punkys, usaba ropa completamente negra y completamente fea (digamos que no era precisamente el negro que te hace ver como una voguette) y deprimente. Y luego comence a pasar por una transformacion que desemboco en una muchachita que ahora usa ropa femenina, como blusas o faldas. SORPRESA! No es que te vaya a rechazar una polera de una banda, y es contradictorio pues amo el rock y todo lo que implica, The Runaways y todo eso. Mi estilo depende del dia. Hay dias en que prefiero usar mis skinny jeans, con una polera divertida o mas rebelde, y hay dias en que uso falda. Pero creo que la femineidad es importante. Me estresa ver chicas que parecen hombres. Y lo peor es que ahora es de lo mas comun ese cambio de rol.

Birdie 35 - One, Two, Three... GET JEALOUS!

And as the title says, get jealous, because yesterday arrived the books that I've been waiting for so long from E-Bay!

Y como dice el titulo, ponganse celosos, pues ayer me llegaron los libros que tanto habia esperado por E-Bay!

Do you know them? Well, I'm so happy that I'm gonna brag. 

Manhattan Transfer, by John Dos Passos, Marie Antoinette; The Journey, by Antonia Fraser, and Edie; Girl on Fire, by Melissa Painter. The Edie's one is simply great, and it was so cheap, just 9 dollars! Marie Antoinette's one, well... I will recognize that its been a little difficult for me to read it, it has been so long time since I've read something in english and this doesn't has the easiest terminology, but I loved it. I'm keeping Manhattan Transfer to the end, I've read so much good things about this book and its author that I wanna give me the complete time to read it.

And what about you? Have you bought new books recently?

Los reconocen? Pues hoy estoy tan contenta que alardeare por ello. 
Manhattan Transfer, de John Dos Passos, Marie Antoinette; The Journey, de Antonia Fraser, y Edie; Girl on Fire, de Melissa Painter. El de Edie esta sencillamente divino, y me costo baratisimo, solo 9 dólares! El de Maria Antonieta, pues reconozco que me ha costado un poco leerlo, hacia mucho que no leia en ingles, y este pues no digamos tiene la terminologia mas sencilla, pero me ha encantado. Manhattan Transfer lo estoy guardando para el final, habia leido cosas tan buenas de este libro y de su autor que quiero darme el tiempo completo de saborearlo.
Y ustedes, se han comprado libros recientemente?

Birdie 33 - Call it LOVE

Don't you think this editorial is very cute? Specially because appears Nicholas Hoult (Tony from Skins) I fell in love with each and every guy from that series. They're so... you know.

------------

No creen que esta editorial esta preciosa? En especial porque aparece Nicholas Hoult (Tony de Skins). Cai rendida ante cada uno de los chicos de esa serie. Es que son tan... ustedes saben.

Times goes by...

Somethimes is a little bit dissapointing to see that I don't have any comments. Readers, are you there, or is just my imagination and this blog has passed from a website to a personal journal? 

A veces es un poco... decepcionante ver que no tengo comentarios. Lectores, estan ahi, o es solo mi imaginacion y este blog paso de ser un website a un diario personal?  

Birdie 32 - You'll tell me I'm obsessed but...

No creen que esta editorial que hicieron Joseph Gordon-Levitt (que por si se fijan luce esa barba... feisima) y Zooey Deschanel para la revista Instyle, en Agosto del año pasado esta divina? y sus ojos se ven aun mas impresionantes de lo que son. Me encantaaa!

Don't you think that the editorial that Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who's wearing that awful beard) and Zooey Deschanel made for the Instyle magazine, on August of 2009 is lovely? And her eyes look even more impressive than what they're. Loveee it!
