Me & Myselft

Hi folks, the name of this blog was born from the idea of the 200 years of Chile mixed with the great company of hollywood.


Now, let me introduce myself. My name is Emir , I'm 24 years old. I was born and I'm living in Santiago, Chile since Febrary, 1986. I'm a graduate student of Informatic Civil Engineering and Master candidate in the same field. Today, I'm working in my thesis supported by Yahoo! Research Latin America (thanks for that).

I'm learning english because I would like to apply next year for a scholarship through Becas Chile, to work on a PhD degree in another country --I'm deciding among New Zeland, USA, and Canada.

My hobbies: I really like to listen to music, especially ROCK; watch movies and sitcoms, Dexter, Fringe, OTH, and The Big Bang Theory are the best. The weekends I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, especially with my little niece and nephews. Moreover, I enjoy testing new technologies and gatgets. I like to make software applications with new frameworks. The last one was a Web application with Spring MVC + JQuery, for the VIP project (Variable Information Panels) for transantiago.

Food for me is a pleasure, I prefer home-made food by my mum or grand mother. A good restaurant that I recommend is "Parrilladas Argentinas". It is a nice place, with good food, but expensive. I give this place 5/5 stars.

Regards.

Hello students!
Hopefully this experience will help us improve our English and better our communication skills with other people. I'm very excited with the class and please feel free to contact me anytime you need help with English. Remember to send me your biographies and other texts before posting them on the blog, so I can help you with your English.
