the woman that inspires me

As I told you before I never thought that I was going to study journalism. I’m not saying that I never liked journalism, but I didn’t saw it as an option to study.  That’s why I don’t know too much about journalists.

When entering college, the whole journalism issue seemed to me very far, but since I meet Faride Zeran I felt inspired, I felt like I wanted to be journalist.  She is a very smart person, and you can notice that since the moment that she starts to talk.

She is daughter of two Arab immigrants. They arrived to the city of Puerto Natales. Alia Faride Zeran moved to Santiago to study journalism at the university of Chile and in 1974 was exiled to Argentina, where she meet his husband, and after that she moved to Venezuela. She founded the institute of communication and image and in 2007 she won the national journalism award, in addition to other awards.

I admire her because I like his personality, she says things as they are, aboveboard, I like how she sees journalism and the role of journalists and also I like her writing job, but most of all I choose to write about her because she inspires me , (although I fell that she hates me hahaha).

Since childhood I love to cook, in fact, when I was in my first year of high school I wanted to study gastronomy. At that time I cooked tasty meals almost every single day, such as cakes, pastries, pizzas, bread, sandwich cookies, Chinese Food and Chilean food, but Italian food it’s my favorite.

When I have free time I make pasta and sauces, because I don’t like the taste of packaged foods, so I have a small garden in my house where I cultivate coriander, red peppers, paprika among other spices and herbs.

Vegetarian lasagna it's my favorite food!, to make it I use soy meat, fresh tomato sauce, onion, carrot, and lots of cheese. Unfortunately I do not cook it very often because it takes so much time. I usually cook lasagna when I'm with my boyfriend because it is his favorite food too.

The first step is to soak the soy meat with seasonings and salt for about three hours and then I remove the excess of water. While the meat is soaked i prepare the dough with flour, salt and eggs. after that I mix the onion, carrots, pepper and a little garlic and finally add the soy meat and the tomato sauce.

The last part is the easiest, in a bowl with olive oil I put a base of meat, on top of that y add cheese and over a sheet of pasta. I follow these same steps 3 times and I put the bowl in the oven for 45 minutes. And voilà!

My life as jonatic

As you can see in this picture all the girls who appear there are fans of the Jonas Brothers. We are part of the official fans club of the band and we got together every Saturday of the year in a park of providencia. At that time we were preparing for the arrival of the jonas brothers to Chile for give a concert. All of us worked very hard to raise money and buy tickets that were placed as close as possible to them. (I was in the third row for the concert!).

This photo was taken on the last meeting before the concert. That day we were very anxious. we had bought this new canvas to identify us as fans club. Also that day accompanied us a Chilean band called madvana and the double Justin Bieber that took the picture. (I have to clarify that almost all of us detested the music of justin, but the double was very sympathetic)

I like this photo because I felt very happy going to these appointments. I met wonderful people and made great friends. We had many things in common besides our musical tastes. And the greatest thing is that this picture appeared in a newspaper of viña del Mar.

Currently we are not getting together as fans club, but we still stay in touch.
