My favorite music group

First, I want to clarify I love and listen a lot of music groups and singers. For example, I include on my list Paramore, The Beatles, The Beach boys, Eros Ramazzotti, Violeta Parra, Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, Regina Spektor, Chayanne, Cat Stevens, Bee Gees and etc.
But I have moments when I love listen especially a group. So, I am going to tell about my group of the moment: Queen.





The past semester, I met Queen thanks to a person very important to me. In the beginning, I thought the principal singer of the group, Freddie Mercury, was a eccentric person, because of the clothes he used and his form to singing. Later, I understood he really he felt the songs he made, the words and chords in the music was a expression of what is in her mind and soul.
Well, now the history of the group. The music group was formed in 1970 by the singer Freddie Mercury, the guitarist Brian May, the drummer Roger Taylor and bassist John Deacon. The group still is considered active, although died Freddie Mercury and John Deacon retired from the group. They sing all types of rock and heavy metal.
Here there is a list of famous songs of this music group:

Bohemian Rhapsody
I want to break free
I was born to love you
It’s a hard life
Under pressure
Radio Ga Ga
Somebody to love
We will rock you
A kind of magic
We are the Champions
Show must go on
Don´t stop me now
Another one bites the dust


And of course, I do not have to forget my favourite song of Queen, “Let me in your heart again”. I listen it when I feel melancholic and I search for some inspiration, and of course the best place to listen to music is in the bus, going back home.

The King of the tunas


Hi again! Today I bring you the "delicacy of delicacies" how we say in Chile. I speak about the tuna, or better, a delicious book: "The king of the tunas", a book I read when I was a child and transports me to my days of bored youth. Ah! and I forget to say that my mother, in her eagerness of create a good collection of book in house, she get the book in a newspaper promotion, and the "editorial" is "stick fix", a brand of glue:




This book, written by Hernán del Solar, (that also wrote a book called "La Porota", but is a book more... how can I say it? normal?, conventional?) is about a young of 17 years old who dreams with become a millionaire someday, after he was fired from his job of dish washer at a hotel (because he threw down a dish and beat his boss).
So, a good day, the protagonist - who calls Míster Pompom- begins to dream how can he become a millionaire and see in a book store a book with the title "How can you become a millionaire?", and of course, he bought it. This book tell histories of people that with effort, enthusiasm and luck, had come to be millionaires, these were the king of the olives, the prince of half-inch screws, the great khan of sewing needles green plush etc. When finished reading the book, read the last phrase that look in the sky your lucky star. Mister Ponpom did so and finally he found the millionaire idea: bury empty cans to earth. After, he offer to the importer preserves his magnificient tunas and ask if the dealer has more cans. The day the importer give the cans to Mr. Pompom he see the way Mr. Pompom get his cans, and buy the ground to do the same, but it did not work.
When the importer ask to Mr. Pompom if he can sell the tunes again, he refused because he already made a deal with other importer and he was already rich, and he married with the daughter of the king of the hams.

About Me


Hi! my name is Karina, and I want to be a librarian. I know what you thing right now: well, this is not so difficult, just go to a library and get ready to boring and sleep in front of a lot of books. And maybe you will be shocked if I add I will be a future librarian because I study to become a professional librarian. 
To tell my story I need to begin in the beginning, of course. I was born in the quiet city of Los Andes, V. region of Chile. Maybe I consider it is a quiet city because now I am in a big city studying. Yes, the typical story of a peasant girl that comes to the metropolitan city and feels like -as chilean saying- a pig in a mass.
So, come on to he acts. When I was a child, at the age of 8, the only thing I did to spend time was reading all day.  I started in a boring, raining and sad day, when I took a book of the bookshelves on my home: "The Chronicles of Narnia". That was one of the many books that my cousin gift me before she died.
