Best holidays in your life

This is the topic that was designated for me in this opportunity in a random way.

And in this moment, thousand of beautiful images arrive in my mind… Sincerely, I don’t know which holidays I’ll choose first to talk about, because all of them has been amazing. Let’s start.

I have to say that a recurrent holiday place for me and my family is the south of this beautiful country called Chile. I went with them there everytime we had the opportunity to go and the most amazing thing for me is we go so far always BY CAR! My father drives the most of the trip and we see and enjoy through the window a lot of different landscapes: vineyards, woods, lakes, volcanos, clear skies and a lot of clouds sometimes. And at the same time we sing, take pictures, have a snack and are anxious of getting there!

When I talk about south of Chile, I refer to specific places like Puerto Varas, Puyehue, Villarrica. I know more of them, but these are absolutely my favourites.

I think the thing I enjoy the most is staying with my family a few days feeling so relaxed.
Also, I love watching the starts at night (they complete the whole sky! because there's no light pollution), eating delicious meals like fresh fruits and vegetables, salmon, kuchen, jam of a variety of fruits like strawberries, honey, etc. and obviously: I love sleeping a lot.

In my opinion (and I think the most of you think the same thing), this is the only instance that I wait all of the year. I hope to go there at the end of the year to rest once for all!

Blog's experience

After like... 7 posts I think, this one (the eighth) would talk about how has been my experience with this blog, that I created in April of the present year.
Well, I think I had lived a similar experience with a type of blog which is called Tumblr, where I put daily experiences and some photographs that I like but, it doesn't have the same qualities of this blog, and also, I hadn't visit it since... I didn't remember hahaha.
In this blog account I could put some aspects about me and the people I know, like my family and friends, my hobbies, things I like, etc. and in the same way, my classmates too.
So, I think it was cool to know ''indirectly'' about my classmates' lives because when we join to the university, we didn't know eachother. And now, we still don't!
In other way, I think a blog is perfect if you want to have an ''electronic journal''. You can share images, videos, and write indefinetely about a topic you like!
It also help me and my English vocabulary! I learn to write up ideas with new words that I know perfectly now.
In another point, I think the only problem of the blog is you can not restrict the privacity: anyone in the world can see what you write, what kind of things you want to share... this is the risk of having a blog. So if I had to change one thing, that one would be.
Except that, I think is a very good tool to express yourself in any moment, any time, any place!

Two words: Amazing book

In this opportunity I'd like to talk about one of my favourite books:

Brave New World is the most famous novel from a British writter called Aldous Huxley.
It was written in 1931 and published the next year.
The history is about an utopian reality proyected to the future setting in London, England in which everything is different from now: children bear in test tubes and from birth are determinated to belong to one of the five castes (Alpha, Beta, Gama, Epsilon); also, they receive influences through they are spleeping, like what kind of things they will love to do or what beliefs must follow; everyone is always happy (sadness and pain don't exist); an hallucinogen called soma make people stay healthy and without diseases; famous books like the Holy Bible are forbidden, like falling in love with one person and some terms too. Even, their God is not the God (for catholics) we know. Their god is Ford (Henry Ford).
So, some of the characters that I'll show now (the most important for me) will have to get on very well in this reality.
For example, John, as known as ''The Savage'', although he is not the protagonist (Bernard Marx is actually, a misfit) is very important for the history, because he comes from our era with all of the traditions that stay until today like having parents, or marry with someone, or even the simple act of reading a book and tries to insert in this new reality, where no one can believe that life was like this before.
Other characters are Bernard Marx. Like I mentioned before, he is a misfit and a little bit different from the other people; Lenina Crowne, a nurse that everyone loves; Mustafá Mond, like the ''dictator'', among others.
After all of that abstract, I want to share the message that this book gave it to me: the future could be like this! And seeing the probability of losing our traditions makes me think how life can change and how awful it could be. I want that love, books, family, parents, marriage, etc. stay. By now, we just have to enjoy the present.
Although this book is very strange while you are reading it, is very interesting and I'm absolutely sure that who reads it, will think and compare these realities, that are so far, but so close at the same time.

A website saves my life in this career

Today I'm going to talk about a career-related website that I really, more than ''enjoy'', I prefer to say I ''make good use of it''.

The website I chose was MORFO, here's its link: 

http://www.morfo.cl 

MORFO is a website created by Universidad de Chile and specially designed for medical careers that are given there. 

My career, dentistry, is included in that group too.

The most of the contents that MORFO treats are related to Anatomy, an essential subject in any medical career, using real images and interactive material related to bodies and their components, with their respective explications. 

So, my classmates and I can use it only entering the code(given previously) on it.

I visit MORFO everytime I need to study for Anatomy and its exams, so, I think I visit it often, at least once a week. 

And, I think I like MORFO because you can see all you study on class or pavilions with cadaverous material in your laptop screen whenever you want! You can clarify your own doubts and obviously learn a little more every time you visit it. 

You just have to encourage yourself and visit MORFO and you'll be ready to learn the amazing body human! 

 

Personal phobias... (i'm trembling now)

Well, the post I'm gonna develop now could be a little difficult to express for me... anyway, I have to do this.

I have three clear phobias in my life. In order of horror, they are:

-Injections
-Moths
-Rollercoasters



First case: Injections 

I think this is the most interesting personal phobia, because some time in my life, I'll have to give one (and that's obviously if I stay in this career or another medical career hahaha)
This phobia starts with a harmless blood test, when I have 13. Everything was perfect, the nurse cleaning my arm with alcohol and I saw how she works. But, when she took the syringe, and brought it closer to me, I felt so scared. She extracted the volume of blood required, and after that, I was more pale than ever and my hands were sweating a lot! 
And that's the beginning of my phobia... 
I hate syringes. I hate blood tests. Every time I go to get these tests, I have to be prepare psychologically, or with a person by my side. 
And how I deal with it? Well, I just have to look at another side when the nurse is preparing the syringe, and try to stay calm but, it's so difficult for me :(
And that's all. 
NEXT PHOBIA! (it will be the best hahaha) 



Second case: Moths

I don't know when this phobia came into my life. I don't have any traumatic situation with moths, but when I see one flying, I just run away as fast as I can from it, or I hide under my bedspread while I ask for help!
It affects my life in the way that I can't stay quiet if I look at a moth, and immediately I start to scream, wherever I am. I don't care about the people around me, I just scream and run hahaha
How I deal with it? Well... I don't even try it. I think my father yes, because he is the ''moths killer'' hahaha and he comes to help me when I see one (fortunately, I've seen the most of moths in my house, so, I can express my fear freely)





Third case: Rollercoasters 

This is another personal phobia, and I've never get over it. 
This is the problem: When I see a rollercoaster, like when I go to Fantasilandia, my hands start to sweat, and my heart beats so fast! The simple fact that rollercoasters go so fast, and go up and down in a few seconds, or the moment you are so high and see all so small makes me scare. 
This phobia started since I have memory... And the strange thing is I've never get onto one! 
My friends say: ''Come on! It will be so fun!'' And I say: ''No, thanks. I prefer something more ''quiet'' " hahaha
And how I deal with it? It's very simple. I just don't get onto them, so they don't affect my life. On the contrary, not get onto one makes me happy, altought all of my friends like so much them. 

Photographs... a way to freeze the moment

I have several pictures that I love. The most of them were taken by me or by my mom (we are fond of photography, but, we are not professionals. Just lovers with a good camera :) ) 

It's a difficult decision... anyway. In this post I'm gonna show you the one I chose. 

This picture was taken by me in December, 2012 in Bariloche, Argentina. Specifically in Cerro Campanario.

To begin, I'm going to explain how I could take it.  

I was in my study trip, with some of my classmates, and in the tour was planned to go up Cerro Campanario using a cable railway. When I reach the top, I (and my classmates) could see a beautiful nature spectacle: Nahuel Huapi lake, the Andes, millenary trees and the grey clouds, with some of drops of rain. And the wind was blowing very strongly.

And in that moment, I didn't wait anymore.

I took my camara, and pressed click to get that amazing photograph. 

I think I love this picture because it shows how incredible nature can be. Also, I don't have the opportunity of taking a picture like this every day and in this place.

I just make the most of the moment and obviously, enjoying all the elements that were around me then. 

When I look at that photo, I feel so relaxed hahaha because it reminds me when I was in that place. 

Everything was perfect, beautiful, unbelievable.I hope to get back one day for taking more photographs there!

My favorite movie is...

 (Well, one of my favorites haha)  

Before Sunrise / Before Sunset 

In this post I'm gonna talk about this movie (I bet my life that no one knows that, but I don't care hahaha) Before Sunrise / Before Sunset (its sequel) is a romantic movie released in 1995 (the year I was born!) directed by an American film director and screenwriter called Richard Linklater. 
The history is about an American young gay called Jesse  (Ethan Hawke), which met a French lady called Cèline (Julie Delpy) in a train travelling to Vienna, Austria (I think it's in the same period, like 90's) 
After that, they begin to know each other, talking about a lot of topics like life, death, money, future, religion, love, people, etc. while they go over Vienna and its beautiful places AND... little by little... 
they started to fall in love!! 
But, in a moment, the meeting is over and every one of them has to return to its house... 
Will they stay or leave forever?!! (to find the answer, you just have to watch it hahaha) 

Basically, the movie it's a conversation between two strangers... and that's all! hahaha (I keep wondering why I like it so much...) (I'm kidding, I think I found the answer) 
I love this movie because: 
1) It's a romantic movie. And I'm a romantic person hahaha. So, I love it!  
2) It's just a conversation... but the characters talk about topics that makes me wonder about life and its important things that I don't think every day! They consider very interesting reflections. 
3) Although the plot of the movie seems boring and without action or thriller along the history, I think is a different kind of movie because it shows a brave and honest look at relationships.
