What would I do if I won the Lottery?

Qui veut être un milliardaire?

What would I do if I won the lottery? Mmm, first we’ll have to specify how money, hypothetically, I won. Let’s say I won 100 million Chilean pesos; for me, it’s a considerable amount of money to live without any worries for the rest of my existence.

With that money in my power, the first thing I would do would be to find a place to live, somewhere small and simple, near my family and friends. Then I would invest some of it in the stock-market because I would have the opportunity to increase my money in the long term.

With that money saved for my future, I would finish my studies in the University, continue to study in some post degree. Then, the fun begins.

I would travel around the world and work in my specialty: Education. I would learn how the Education is considered in other countries, if it is important for them or how they create and implement public politics based in the education.

While I travel I could buy books, stay in fancy hotels, buy expensive clothes and shoes, meet interesting people, learn new languages, and eat in famous restaurants and resorts.  

Of course, to win the lottery I would have to play it first, but I need money to buy lottery tickets and that’s the problem. But, for now, I can keep dreaming about a life I would only be possible to have with a lot, a LOT, of money. 

My Super Power

Riposter

Fire has been an element that I’ve always been interested of. It represents an intensity and passion that I would love to control; somehow, this ability would make me powerful and capable of many things, not evil things (I think so) but good and useful things for people.

For example, I could save lives. If a person or an entire family is trapped in a house on fire, I could control the fire and let them out. Or if I’m walking on the street at night and I see someone being robbed I would throw fire at the thief, without killing him, or her, if it’s possible.

The only bad effect this super power could bring to me is the possibility of getting uncontrollable or make me go obsessive from all the things I’ll be able to do.

If I’m able to control fire, I could use it for good. But I don’t know if this ability would change me and transform me into some kind of villain or criminal if I ever have it. So, I’ll have to wait to see…

The best holiday so far

Pourquoi pas?

Last summer I spent my holiday at Las Cruces, Valparaiso, where I went with my partner and stayed at a little cabin.

For a week or so, we watched a lot of series and movies; we also slept a lot and ate delightful food (improvise and prepared by ourselves) One day we went to a restaurant near San Antonio, where we tasted fresh fish while we looked at the magnificent view; lots of boats, people and, of course, the majestic blue ocean accompanied us while we were eating.

The night after we left the house to come back to reality, we went to the beach. There weren’t many people at that time of the day, so we decided to stay in there for a while; we sat on the sand and talked, laughed, imagined things and looked at the ocean, until we got cold enough to decide to come back and rest.

If I could describe this holiday with one word it would be irreplaceable. I couldn’t believe the awesome experience I had during that short but necessary week with the best company I could ever wish for. 

A country I'd like to visit

Allons-y!

Since I can remember, I've watched TV shows and movies placed in England; the places and people of this particular country have always intrigued me. Why? Maybe it's because this stories made me want to fade away from my reality. 

I have to be honest; I don't know much about Britain. I know they’re fan of tea and they drink it every single day. Most of all, they're famous for their TV shows; Dr. Who, Broadchurch, It Crowd, Downtown Abbey, among others are watched and followed by millions of fans around the world.

If I ever have the chance to visit Britain, the first thing I would do, will be to travel on a taxi; the design of this cars are so elegant and fascinating that I feel the urgent need to know how it’s to travel in one of those. Then I can take the opportunity to visit the Buckingham Palace, to see if I have the chance to meet The Queen and say hi to her.

Now, why would I want to visit England? I would like to take the opportunity to practice the language. But, what I would really want to do would be to take a course or class about art, literature or films; something that would make me remember my stay in that country, because for me, family is the most important thing in the world, so I wouldn’t be for too long in England; maybe a year or two. But, who knows, life is long and maybe I’ll stay until I get older than the Queen.
