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.

I couldn't live without it !!



I have a piece of tecnology, and it's absolutely necessary for me.
I'll present you a dock for an iPod.
A dock is a mini-loudspeaker which is designed for an mp3 player, like an iPod. I can do many things with it, like hearing music when I connect my iPod, turning on the alarm clock (to wake up in the morning!!) and obviously it can be used like a clock, because it has a LED screen showing the hour.
This dock was given to me in 2011 for Christmas and I actually use it every day!!
I think I like this artefact because I can hear the music from my iPod very louder and I can dance while it sounds!!. Also, I can choose the song I want to wake me up in the moment of turning on the alarm clock and I can see the hour very quick when I'm studying (to hurry up or to relax with the subjects hahaha). It's very very useful.
My life without it would be empty. Hahaha I'm just joking. But I think that, without it, I couldn't wake up early in the morning and also, I couldn't have moments of relaxing and having fun, like singing and dancing (by these days, it's absolutely essential) :)
