Being in a dream with the lion king.

From all the good movies I have seen in my life, I can tell there are two that I really love. They are movies made for children, but I think they leave a messagge that can be used also by grown up people. Those two movies are Alice in Wonderland and The Lion King.



The first of them, Alice in Wonderland, maybe is too oniric for some people, but for me is perfect. Everything happens in a dream, but it teaches us to see things from another place. It makes the viewers use their imagination, and I really love imagining things, so everytime I see this movie I imagine different things; it is never the same.





The second movie, The Lion King, is the most emotional movie I've ever seen (with Titanic). The part when Mufasa, Simba's father, dies, is one of the few scenes that always make me cry (the other one is when Jack dies beside Rose, in Titanic hahaha). But is not only the emotional part that I like in this movie, but also is because all the time, the main characters are telling you to enjoy your life (hakunna matata) and fight for the things that you consider correct, like when Simba comes back to his kingdom to fight Scar and return to be the king of the jungle.



I think those are the two principles that I use in almost everything I do: First, I try to enjoy everything, even if at first seems to be unpleasant, there is always a way to make it comfortably or at least a learning situation. And second, fight for the things that I consider correct, always. And, if I can do those things using my imagination, is almost the perfect situation.-

Favorite Band

I think that I have a very versatile taste in music stuff. For example, I love pop music, like Madonna or Michael Jackson, but I also can listen metal bands like Metallica, or grunge bands like Alice In Chains. I really can tell that I like almost all types of music, even country music. 

But there is one band that makes me crazy. This band puts together all the things that I appreciate in music, like the sounds, the rhythm, the lyrics, the mesagge that is in the back of the songs. That band is Radiohead. 

Radiohead is a British band formed by five guys, who plays alternative rock since 1985. Their first single was a very famous song called "Creep", from their first album Pablo Honey. Since then, they only have launched out good records, being their last one The King Of Limbs, from 2009. 


They came to Chile in March of 2009, making me the happiest girl in the world. I went to see them at the first concert (because they made two concerts), and I remember that day as the greatest moment ever. Sometimes I felt happines, with other songs I felt sadness, because they have a lot of depresive songs. But all the time I was thinking "I can't belive they are actually playing so near, that I could listen to them in a live concert". It was like a dream. 


Actually, until today I think that was the most exciting day of my life, because I felt almost every feeling that exist. I hope they come to Chile again, so I could have that mix of feelings again.

My name is Constanza Cabrera, and I am 20 years old. I was born in Santiago, in the middle of a very close family, formed by my father Victor, my mother Cecilia, my older brother Felipe and my younger sister Paula. We all live together in our house in Peñalolén, and have a very good relationship, since we talk a lot about what we feel or think. The good comunication that we have make us a very quiet family, because we never fight with each other.
We also have many pets, because my mother has grandmothers heart and picked up almost every cat that she founded in the streets. So, there are five cats and two dogs in my house. I really don't like dogs, because I think they're a little stupid and smell bad, I prefer a thousand times cats, because they're clean and soft. I have one that I love, her name is July and she's gray with green eyes.
About my academic life I can tell that I did my primary studies in a private school called Etievan, in the neighberhood of La Reina, and finished them in Altamira School, in Peñalolén.The last one was a very dissolute school, some people say that even hippie, because we didn't use uniforms and teachers promotes artistic habilities, to become a visual artist or a musicean, for example. I took the more tradicional way, leaving a little bit behind the plastic arts and the music intruments and focus on Language and History classes.
Then, when I graduate of school, I started to study journalism in Universidad de Chile. I chose that carrer because I wanted to learn about all the possible topics, like sports, economy, literature, arts, politics, etc. But now, I didn't like it much, because I don't like to do reporter jobs, like going to some place and asking people what they think about a new legislation or if they preffer to eat fruits or meat. I don't like that job.
In my free time I like reading romantic or policial novels. My favorite book is The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Also I spend a lot of time being on internet chatting and sharing pages with my friends, and going to yoga classes. I love Hatha Yoga. 
I also have a boyfriend, called Vicente. I love him very much. We spend a lot of time with each other, see movies or doing nothing together. Yesterday we went to the theater to saw a play called Sin Lìmites, and it was very good, we laughs a lot and spended a nice time together.
