This time, for the first time, we will develop one of the topics you chose.

VIDEOGAMES!

I'll start by saying that I'm not a big fan of videogames, I don't play them very often, and I don't usually invest money on them. But I do recognize that there are many videogames I like, some of them are very old, but they remind me of some good old times and they're a lot of fun to play.

A classical, that I used to play in videogame rentals, in the 90's, is Snow Bros, in which you have to defeat different monsters, to move into new stages to try to rescue a princess.



Some of the others I like are from a company named Neo Geo, I played these in a computer as I was growing up, with my brothers and for hours when surfing the internet was not an option. Some examples are Metal Slug, The King of fighters, Magical World, and Bomberman.

 

My favorite video game is by far Pokémon, I loved it since it came out, and I have played several versions of it, not only videogames but also Pokémon card games.

Nowadays the only videogame I play is Mortal Kombat Armageddon, in my PS2. I play it with my neighbor when he comes over to my house, we call it 'echar peleas' and it keeps me away of stress!
If I ever have problems with anything, I imagine myself performing a FATALITY!
And that solves it all! haha.

So now it's your turn!
Write about videogames in at least 190 words. Make a comment in my post and at least in 3 of your classmates'.

Post 3

Hello everyone!

The theme of today's post is: My future job.

As a 28 year old teacher, working at the university of Chile, it would be easy for me to say that I am working in my ideal job. But I don't want to be an employee all my life, so i'll be really honest with you guys, I'll tell you all about my dream future job.

Grower

I'll start my own company, actually my own nursery for cactus, and I'll auction some of them to earn money. My idea is to retire from being a teacher when I'm more or less 30. That means I have only 2 years to move forward with my plans.
I've been working for this project for a long time now, I actually started it witout knowing it. First at a very small scale, I still lived with my parents and I was already studying to be an english teacher, that's when I first got interested in cacti, and there I started growing them from seeds and learning different cultivation techniques.

Nowadays I'm at a stage of the project in which I need to get a big greenhouse to start growing plants for the future, so I really need a place of my own. That's why I'm hoping to buy the place where I currently live, because that would make things go faster as I could start growing more and better plants, at a larger scale, and not worrying about where I'll go if my landlord asks me to leave his property. 

This season of spring - summer is when most of the cactus I grow start flowering, that opens officially the 'bee work season' for me. That's right! that's the time when I cross pollinate my plants to obtain hybrid seeds for propagation.

I feel happy thinking that I could live with a sense of independance by working with my own hands, and in a line of work that I love, so it feels like a passtime activity So I encourage you to follow whatever you feel your dreams are :).

That's me!
