I've been less than a week getting some btc (actually just satoshis  Undecided ), but now whenever I try to open my wallet all I get is this message: http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w67/Jean_Michael_Sajona/btc%20e_zpsgx2dg3ew.png

It looks like your Bitcoin core is corrupted.
You can read the debug.log file or post it here for additional help.

I already looked  for the debug.log file in Bitcoin Core's installation folder but didn't find it, not even in windows browser... do I need to reinstall BTC Core? and if so, how can I recover my addresses (had 3 of them with some few satoshi)?

It's not in the installation folder. The debug.log is kept in your roaming app data.  Open up your windows folder explorer and type in %APPDATA%
Then look for the Bitcoin folder and you will find the debug.log in there.

If Bitcoin Core is installed correctly, there should be a folder in %appdata%. So I suppose you could try reinstalling everything.

I kept using some faucets this week... I uninstalled BTC Core and Reinstalled it over and over, but always get the same message... Is there at least a pssibility to get my addresses back so i can use them with any other wallet?

Only if you have the wallet.dat.

If so you can

#1 use it on a friends machine (if possible) to export your private keys
#2 use pywallet to export the private keys yourself
#3 hire someone to do either #1 or #2

Option #3 comes with the risk that you are no longer the only person that knows the private key(s) for the addresses. It would thus be smart to hire someone to make a last final transaction that moves all your funds to an address from your new wallet.
