My favorite tecnological tool

Even I don't like tecnology very much I have a favorite tecnological tool that I really love it and these one is the photographic camera. I think that I can do a lot of things with it and express a lot of feelings and because of that, since I was a child I have been taking picturies with this tool, making the beautiful moments a permanent memory and taking picturies of the landscapes that I have visited and animals that I have seen.
My parents gave me the first one when I was 12 years old, It was a Kodak M753, very simple and portable but with it I took a lot of beautiful photographs, the second one, which I have now, I bought with my own money when I was 16. It's more professional than the first one and takes clear images but as my family used it too and a have take it to a lot of places, now is a little faulty but I still use it. Actually I don't have a lot of time like when I was at school, so I usually don't use it but I'm waiting  hollidays to travel and take it with me. I don't know if my world would change a lot if I don't have a camera but I know that my free time it would be much boring withouth one.
If you like photographs like me I recomended you to visit http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/photos/?source=NavAniPhoto

My favorite artist

Hello again. Today i'm going to talk about my favorite artist and even I like a lot of artists I think that I can say that my favorite one is Norah Jones. She is a singer from Brooklyn and is daughter of Ravi Shankar and Sue Jones, a famous concert producer,so is not stranger that in her blood is the music.
She started singing in church and taking piano lessons when she was a child. While she was at high school she performed on the University of North Texas, where she met Jesse Harris who was a very important collaborator and member of a her first band which maked her famous.
Nowtimes her style is basically a combination of jazz and blues , and I really like it because it's relax and makes me think about the little things. My favorite song is "What am I to you", is a very calm song with piano and it talks about the complications of love in a different way. A have to say that now I'm very excited becouse it comes to perform in Chile at dicember and I'm going to see her!! 
Well, that's all from now so, bye everybody.

Post number one


Hello, my name is Claudia and I was born in may, 1994, so now I’m 18 years old. I live in Talagante, a little town near Santiago. I studied in a school named “Colegio Sagrado Corazón” and the past year I graduated on it.
I have two brothers; one of them lives at home with me and studies music teaching, and the other lives in Valparaiso and works at his own company. I also live with my parents and they are very closed to me and my brothers, so when we are together at home we talk a lot, play music and eat delicious food.
Related to what I like to do, I sing and play guitar with my brother who plays the piano. I also ride at university one day a week and sometimes I go with my boyfriend to the cinema and we see terror films.
