My first attempt at gardening

I live in an apartment and I travel a lot, so it is difficult for me to have a pet. I had thought many times about having plants, but after all they seemed a little boring. This is why when I saw a carnivorous plant at a Christmas fair, I thought it was a good idea. I could see the wonders of nature and at the same time I would get rid of those unwanted bugs in my apartment. At first it was fun, the plant caught insects more easily than I expected, and it really amused me to see how this happened. However, after a while I began to notice that there were even more insects than usual, did they want to die? After a while my plant began to wither, so I decided to throw it to put a new plant in its place. Time later find out two important things when searching the Internet: 1) Carnivorous plants release a compound that attracts insects to catch them more easily 2) Carnivorous plants wither during the winter months to grow back in the spring.

My Top 3 Horror movies

Movies are certainly one of my favorite topics to converse, more than books or even music. I love watching movies and that's why it's very difficult for me to do a top. To make it easier, this time I will refer only to a cinematic genre, horror.

1) The Shining: For me it is really a masterpiece. Based on the work of one of my favorite writers, Stephen King, and directed by the wonderful Stanley Kubrick, The Shining tells the story of Jack Torrance, a writer who accepts a job as a caretaker of an isolated hotel. There, Jack begins to go crazy by the supernatural forces that inhabit the hotel, putting in danger to his wife and to his son. When I see The Shining, the performances of Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duval make me forget for a moment that this just is a movie and that I really fear for the lives of the characters, I love that.

2) Psycho: If there is a master of terror and suspense, that is Alfred Hitchcock and his masterpiece is Psycho. This film follows the story of Marion Crane, a woman who fled to California after stealing money from her company. On the way, she stops and sleeps at the Bates motel, with the Norman Bates service. This character is one of the adoptions that has had the famous assassin Ed Gein. The suspense is permanent and the end of the history really made me shout a couple of rudeness.

3) The Conjuring: Although I am not a fan of the current horror films, who abuse the "screamers" to scare the public, I must admit that director James Wan has managed to reawaken the horror genre in the movies. The Conjuring is about a family that comes to live in a haunted house, a fairly simple argument, but with a stupendous realization. This movie does not let you panic, it keeps you in a permanent tension until all you want is for something on the screen that finally scares you in order to you can breathe. 

The SECOND best concert I’ve attended in my life

I already wrote once time about the best concert of my life (you can read that below), so this time I want to talk about the second one.

I’ve attended to the Arctic Monkeys concert on the Movistar Arena in 2014 with my two friends, Joaquin and Lisette. That was my first event on a broad scale since I move to Santiago. Usually I like old artists, so this is one of the few bands that I listen to that are still popular (In fact, they launch a new album in 2013).

When I was on the school, I play covers of the Arctick monkeys with my friends about 2008, when not much people knows the band.  In those days, they are a very young band, with an indie style with a rap influence.

In the concert they play many of his first’s songs, but the major part of the time, they play songs of their last album (not really my favorites), but I enjoyed anyway. The band's albums are good, but their concerts are even better. In the next day, I was hoarse from so much singing and shout the last night.
