He is a Gilles Lipovetsky. A French philosopher. He is someone who I really admire. I read one of his books called "La Pantalla Global". It's about the importance of the television and cinema, because they have changed the way we percive and represent the world. He says since the cinema began, the society changed turned around the screen.

When I read that book, my way of seeing the society changed a lot. I mean, EVERYTHING is in the screen, if something isn't in the screen it doesn’t exist. So simple. And the screen can be the television, internet, security cams, cell phones, cinema. We are in the global screen! :o

It is a little paranoid, but it's true. I mean, the importance of understanding that for me was really significant, because I’m studying filmmaking, and my work is with the image and the screen This is a huge responsibility o.o

Anyway, there’s another book called “La era del Vacío”. Ii is about the postmodernism era, characterized by the consumerism, the individualism, and technologies.

I have not read that book yet, but I just want to read it. Some people say that it is so sad, because Lipovetsky says that we all are a piece of individualist shit. I have the book, but I don’t have the time to read it. I hope I can do it in my winter holydays.

earthquake.

I live on a 8th floor, so I could feel the earthquake too well. I was using the phone when everything started to move. I went out of my bedroom to the living room where all my family were, with their pijamas and scared faces.

When the earthquake was over, we went down by the stairs with the lamp of mi cell phone. In the street all the neighbors was so scared and hysteric. Everybody was telling over and over again how they lived the earthquake. A man turned on the radio of his car and everybody closed up to it.

My family and I spent the night in our car, because we didn't feel secure in the building. But I couldn’t sleep.

I was listening the radio when Bachelet said “there is no maremoto”. The epic fail of the history of this bicentenary. And I was listening the radio when the authorities were confirming casualties: one, five, sixteen, fifty, two hundred…

After of all thing about earthquake: the news, the aftershock, teletón, the change of government, the fallen houses, the volunteers, I can say I’m fortunate. But in that moment, when I couldn’t know about all the people that is close to me, I felt a lot of unsorted.
