The sites I have selected are:
1. The International Classification of Functions by the WHO (World Health Organization): this page is really good because it gives a theoretical background and also clear definitions. Check it in http://www.who.int/classifications/icf/site/onlinebrowser/icf.cfm
2. Disability World: this website has news about disability problems around the world. It is a good site because it can inspire some ideas or just keep someone up to the latest trends in this area. You can see it visiting http://www.disabilityworld.org/ .
Check them out and let me know what you think about them!
I din´t find any other mistake !
Bye!

About Me and my blog....
Welcome to my blog!
Well, the real history of this blog is quite special. But to understand the history you have to know firstly something about me.
I told you yet that I am Diana, I am 20 years old and I am studying Occupational Therapy in the Universidad de Chile, this is my second year in the university and I am very happy with my career.
In my free time, I like to do handcrafts, I like to play piano ( I try to play the Amelie’s soundtrack), I like read , I also like to see movies specially if they are with a happy ending and if they aren’t horror films. I also like painting and I like go to the theater too.
I like to walk around the centre of Santiago, I like to see the old buildings and the little streets which are so nice, like Lastarria Street (it’s so beautiful!)
I like writing sometimes, but definetly I prefer read, I love read a good novel or a biography instead of writing .I had never thought in make a blog! I mean, why would I want a blog if I would never write on it?
It was a good question until I enter in the Universidad de Chile to study Occupational Therapy. After that , I decided to go to english classes given by the university program. I thought it was a good opportunity to improve my english and to relax, but I was a little wrong because in that classes we had to do homework I and one of the things that was asked us to do was to create our own blog.
So, here I am! writing in english in my first blog and telling you about my life. I hope it results and my english will get better!
Well I hope you can enjoy it, sorry if I have some mistakes in my grammatik but I’m just a beginner in this area hehe
OK, I think that I’ve wrote enough! So, time to go!
I’ll see you soon.
Dianita!

My Weekend!
My WeEkenD:
My last weekend began on Friday’s afternoon, when I met with a friend (Xime) and her boyfriend in the main Square of El Monte, because we wanted to listen to “Los Perdentos”, so we went to the theater and we spend a very good time listening them.

In the picture appears Los Perdentos and there is also my friend Xime and her boyfriend Lalo.
On Saturday me and Xime woke up very early (6:00 am) because we had some classes about Anthroposophical medicine, after that classes I met with my family and we went to have lunch to El Cajón del Maipo, we spend a nice time there, the day was very nice and the mountain was beautiful( I recommend you!).
At night, I went to a concert with my mom and my cousin in Teatro Baquedano.

On Sunday I woke later than Saturday and my mom, my brother and me, went to have lunch with my dad. Then I met with my cousin and we went to see Lo Bueno de Llorar (I didn’t like the film at all), after that, I returned to my home to have dinner with my family, and that was my weekend!

The second Mission!!
Hello again! Today I want to tell you about my second mission in this blog (the first one was the introduction). This mission is: to post the lyrics of a song I like (in english). I have to tell you why I have chosen this song, and then I will tell you a little bit about the band/singer. Here we go!
The song that I have chosen is.....
Colours of the Wind – Vanessa Willliams
You think I'm an ignorant savage
The song that I have chosen is.....
Colours of the Wind – Vanessa Willliams
You think I'm an ignorant savage
and you've been so many places
I guess it must be so, but still I can not see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know
You think you own whatever land you land on
the earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You learn things you never knew
You never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?
or ask the grinning bobcat why he grinned
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colours of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colours of the wind?
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once never wonder what they're worth
The rainstorm and the rivers are my brothers
And the heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle in a hoop that never ends
How high does the sycamore grow
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry
To the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper-skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
Need to paint with all the colours of the wind
You can own the Earth and still all you'll own is earth
Until you can paint with all the colours of the wind
This lyrics belongs to the movie “Pocahontas”.
I have chosen this song because it remembers me when I was a little girl, I used to watch this movie, I love Pocahontas and all the songs that appear in the movie, specially this song.
My favorite part was when Pocahontas went to see the old tree to talk with it. I have always dreamt of having a conversation with the trees like Pocahontas, maybe you will think I get crazy, but I just want to know what the opinion of the trees about us is….
Well I also like this song because it talks about the nature, the environment and the respect that we have to have with it. I think we have forgotten our relation with all the things that are around us and I like this song because it shows the different views about our lives.
As you can see, the song is a soundtrack, so I will tell you something about the girl who sang this song. She is
Vanessa Williams, she is an African-American singer and she is also an actress.
She became famous in 1983 when she was crowned Miss America. But she decided to be a singer, her first album was “The Right Stuff”(1988) which was a success.
After that welcome, her albums had earned many Grammy Award nominations (around fifteen) and her singles have been accepted by the critics.
She also has appeared in many movies, television programs and in advertisement.
As you can see Vanessa is a many sided woman, but she also have another important role which is to be a mother. She has 4 children!
If you want to know more about her, you are invited to visit her website: http://www.vanessawilliamsmusic.com/
