This photography was taken by Natalia Carmona, Graphic Designer of Wide Beach University. She also is a member of the female rookie “Tuna” of the same university.
The photography shows the Ladies “Tuna” from the University of Chile, which is a musical group that belongs to the Faculty of Arts. Here, the “Sitas” pose in front of “La Moneda” (The Coin) in a photo shoot for a meeting of “Tunas” and “Estudiantinas” in Colombia.

The photo was taken on 8 and 9 April.

I like this photo, is the typical "disorderly", but shows a lot of happy girls, very talented, they love a lot and they accompany on many adventures. They are an inspiration to me because they show me that even though sometimes things do not go as you want, you can always rise above them, especially when you realize you are not alone. Always you will find people willing to accompany you on the journey that is your own life.

A Tuna is a sisterhood/ brotherhood of college students who carry a combination of old clothes and perform songs from European and Latin American folklore. Its origin appears to be medieval. Already at that time, college students with limited economic resources used his musical skills to cover their studies, the journey from college to their homes when they began the holidays. So cheerful and playful, at night a group went out to serenade, until weary way to the shelters for some food.

The Ladies’ Tuna has filled Santiago City with Serenades and Parades, which always in the tone and sensitivity of Women making honor to the old “Estudiantinas” girl emerged in Chile in the late nineteenth century.

In a manly endeavor as his story, these girls have entered the “tunantesco” environment opening his own space to show a useful combination of femininity, romance, mischief and love for life and travel.

The Netbook.

The Netbook is a portable computer of low cost and small size.

Mi netbook is a Samsung N – 150. My mother gave it to me when I came to live to Santiago, in the middle of last year, because the house that I live have only two personal computers in poor condition for more than fifty girls.

I like my netbook because it weighs very little, It doesn`t occupy very much space and it isn`t well-known, so it isn`t easy to steal. This is ideal when you use the public transport and you are present to many places in the same day.

This object allows me to support the communication with my family, friends and my boyfriend because they are far, in Rancagua. Also distracts me with games, but it facilitates me the access to information quickly from my classroom, too. I can listen to music, play karaoke and it helps me to save money in photocopies and impressions because I can read my texts in the computer. I can use it to relax when I travel and to see cartoons with my nephew.

I use it almost the whole day. I am slightly addicted to his nice design and usefulness. Without my netbook I might not study, do my tasks, or to find a job. I might not communicate with my partners to coordinate things of the university; It`s more economic to communicate for Internet that for cellular.

Finally, I might not read the newspaper neither to be kept informed (since I don`t watch T.V.) and I might know that it happens with the people that I love and that it lives beyond. It would be absolutely (forever) alone.

The boat that rocked

Also know as Pirate Radio, this comedy film treats about illegal radio station that works on board of a ship in the north sea (united kingdom) in the 60's, which is chased for the British goverment police, since it commins outrage against the morality and good customs of the community. The radio plays rock songs and promotes "sex, drugs and rock and roll".

The main characters consists of "The Count", the brash American DJ on Radio Rock; Quentin (The big boss) and his grandson Carl, who is sent to stay with Quentin on the Radio Rock ship; DJ "Doctor" Dave, who unsuccessfully attempts to help Carl lose his virginity; Gavin, a massively popular DJ brought out of retirement by Quentin, leading to a professional rivalry with The Count; Felicity, the lesbian cook and the only woman permitted to live on the ship. and finally Sir Alistair Dormandy, a government minister who endeavors to shut pirate radio stations down, between others.

I like this movie because it represents an epoch of effervescence and social taking the lid off things. Where the youth I try to go out of the established canons. This one accompanied of good musical and good photography.
