My favourite song in this moment is "We all have blood on our hands" by Funeral Diner. First time i listened it was 5 months ago, when i finished to download the last Funeral Diner LP, called "The Underdark"(2006). This is the last song of the CD, maybe for that reason it´s the most emotive and powerful song, the lyrcis is about how we build our faith and surprising that faith fall with us to an infinite hollow, criying and questioning to ourselves why that happen. The lead vocal use a sad voice mixed with hard screams when lyrics show anger. The guitars maintain a slow rythm and exploding at the same time when the lead singer screams producing a lot emotions in my head and heart; drummer maintain playing like a war march also explode at the time guitars and voice. This song marked me because I write songs for my band too, and this lyric enter to me showing me how I must write or how I wanted to write, Funeral Diner is a screamo band for people who like the emotions exploding with hard and slow melodies.

The last film that I saw

The last film that I saw, was "Kwal" (The bow) by the Korean director Kim Ki Duk. It's a film from 2005 and like others movies of the same director, it's really a work of art. The film takes place on a ship, in the middle of the ocean, where an old man lives with a 16 year old girl, and he plans to marry her, when she turns 17. The old men has a bow, with which he makes an musical instrument and at the same time uses it like a weapon to protect the girl of the harassments of other men. One characteristic of this director is the use of gestures, more than of dialogues, and the special election of the background music, that in this one film, is traditional Korean music. The end of this film, is very surprising but I prefer not to say it, for not kill the magic. I recommend it!

My favourite song
My favourite song is called Aka m80, the wolf by the North Americnan band Portugal, The man. I listened to it last year, when I found the website band, because the name of the band seemed to me funny, (I saw in a flyer of another band) and inmediately I fell in love with that song... The song is an mixed of blues whit rock really diffrent than the music that I normally listen, that is screamo, emo and indie sounds. The sound of the song is very calm, but intense and nostalgic at the same time, it has the typical guitar solo of the blues, but in a slow rhytm acompanied by a very great piano melody in bottom, and the voice of John Baldwin Gourley the single vocal, are very acute and special. It's a perfect song for close the eyes and let think awhile, and its special too, because it's the only song that I can play in guitar
AKA M80 The Wolf
Through crooked teeth and mouthed up ties
They spit you up river just like all those lions
That walked the banks
They said, "Paint me that river And would you use only blues
With a brilliant big black mouth and
Lengths of pines that route the river through Through and through"
Fashion ballrooms of the leaves
We’d like to watch the ghosts dance
They said, "Paint me that arm
That lies directly over mountains
Where the glaciers climb so tall.
One absent of the scars passing boats and ships and oars
Tend to leave with all the sounds of the ocean".
I am but a man But a proud, proud man
Silver bells that line the way
Through baited trails.
We’ll find you there
My favorite website
My favorite website is the homepage of the newspaper "el tiempo" of Bogotá, beacause I can find there some information about the scores and commentaries about the games of the colombian football league and particulary of the football club Juniors of Barranquilla and the national team, who are my favorites teams. I discovered it about six or seven years ago, when I been started to use internet and I needed to know the scores of the colombian league, for me and my mother who is fanatic of the football too. I look for some others newspapers and websites, but in "el tiempo" I found the more complete information. I visit it every monday after the games of the weekend, and sometimes en middle of the week too, after a game in an intenational tournament. I like it, beacuse it approaches me to Colombia and my family and not only for the football, but that also by the news.

Review of the bbc learning english homepage
The web site it's a good initiative to use the web for learning english, using diffrents audiovisuals tools like videos, listenings, photos and more, for made more easy the learning of the english for the web user. There's a section called webcast, wherein diffrents persons of all nacionalities and languages who are learning english, may write an opinion about various topics and publish them like in a diary and also to be answered for any other person. The idea of the section is to give rise to the practice of the language as your are in line with other persons who are learning english at the same time. At the same way, the others sections of the Bbc's website, makes that the student empower the apprenticeship by the using of anothers dynamics tools that allows the e-learning. In my opinion, that's the purpose of the website and its carried out very well by their creators.
