My english Blogging experience

This is my first time with this kind of "communication system" and it has been an interesting experience because you have to write about things you like and you share them with your classmates.
I usually don’t visit blogs, and it was really weird for me to have one.
It was interesting to write things you usually don’t write like your hobbies or your favorites things, and it was a very good exercise to write them in English, sometimes if you just talk in English you forget how to write things you said (I think am not good spelling in English) but it was one thing I miss, and it was that I don’t know if the posts I have written are good or not of so that’s one
As we know we are students from design and architecture, and we have similar ideas about composition, the shape of things and how do they work but we have different point of view of the same subjects.

The da Vinci Code


This is one of my favorite books, and i think that this one is the best of this author, Dan brown, because i have read all his books, Angels and Demons, Digital Fortress, and Deception Point.
Angels & Demons is related with The Da Vinci Code and it is good but isn't necessary to read one to understand the other.
One of the most interesting things of the book is that some times you don’t know what part is real and what part is fiction of the novel because we all know that Leonardo Da Vinci and his codes existed and all things related to him like the paintings and the sacred geometry of the divine proportion (phi= 1.618) so sometimes you hesitate and get lost with the plot of the book. I remember when I was reading the book sometimes i searched information on the internet about his pictures and analyzed them and the things related with the book to know if it was true what I was reading or not.
I recommend it of course it’s a lot better than the movie, so read it and then, if you want, watch it.

Braced Off


This is a nice British film (it was very difficult to understand the accent by the way) about the miners and all the fight between them and the people who wanted to close the coal mine because the government said that the British coal mining industry
wasn’t a profitable business.
The mine is their job to survive so without the job (the coal mine is closed) the only thing that finally kept them together is their musical band, the band that at the end is the best of the year, all this thanks to the courage of the father of one of the musician (the orchestra director) and they finally won the trophy, the dream of their orchestra director and of them as well.
In this drama you can really feel the suffering of the characters and understand the difficult times they are facing, fighting against the destiny, trying to save their families of the poorness. I liked it a lot and I recommend it.
