This year is over?!

 

Every final year, by these months I think, I like to do this: remember the things this year had had until now. So, I think this task replaced it (thanks teacher hahaha)

Well, I can describe this year in one word: NEW. I mean, every year is different, different contexts, people, feelings, energy, looks, activities, etc. But for me, this has been the most strange year of all. Leaving school and my friends and teachers (in a good way, because I still keeping contact with some of them, my best friends that I see from time to time) weren’t very hard for me. But starting with a world “upside down” in college, DENTISTRY!, with new faces and classmates around me? Wow. Absolutely weird.

At the beginning it was difficult, not only because I met new people and because the career is so demanding. It was because I lost a very loved relative for me, which destabilized me all the time, and it didn’t let me focus in the subjects, although I had the support from my family and friends. But, well, life goes on, and I just have to overcome a situation like that. And, in another point, I started to date with someone that came to my life to make a “little bit” happy those and these days ( and fortunately (until now hahaha) I’m still with him J )

Well, as I have said before, I never wanted to study dentistry, but I applied for it, to try my luck and I’m here! At the beginning I didn’t like it very much, I was confused but now I’m happy because I met good persons here (some classmates, I don’t know everyone, because we are like a hundred!) and the subjects are interesting for me. I think I found ‘’the beauty’’ of this career, although everyone says that is so demanding and I had noticed that. Also, I’m not a ‘’relaxed person’’, so I try to ‘’keep calm and..” hahah I hope to keep thinking of that in the future haha

My achievements? Well, in the academic area, I had not had the marks I’d like to, but I know I make a big effort, and if I still keep doing this, I think one day I’ll have my reward. But an achievement for me was coming and staying here, with the unconditionally support from the people I love.

I hope to do more things that I like as soon as possible, because  I couldn’t during the year. 

Well, I could make a book about this year, but it’s not necessary hahaha. The last thing I want to write is I hope this year ends well, and the next one be good too.  

SEE YOU IN ANOTHER CHALLENGE!!

How green am I?

Being green is not common by these days. People just live in the world and don’t care about which effects can have the things they do today for tomorrow. Anyway. At least there are some groups and person that cares about the world, and that’s important, like Greenpeace around the world; Al Gore, an American environmentalist or even the groups in every country that have the job to contribute to make people change their mind and start to think more green.

In the case of Chile, I think the Environment ministry make sometimes campaigns and by mass media says the plans they have for the country. In my case, I think when I was younger, like 13 or 14 I was a very green person. I turned out the lights everytime I can, I took short showers and even I kept pieces of papers that I just don’t use for recycle. And now, I’m still being green, but not to much, because I use car every morning (actually my dad haha) and I don’t recycle anymore, because it takes time.

I always wanted to join to a environment group, but I believe that you don’t need to belong to a organization to really “help”. You just want to be concient and act according what you really want for you, your future, and the world’s too.

If I can do anything, I’d like to be like Al Gore, and give talks to the people in regions, in the city, schools to learn that caring about world is not only for it, is for us too. I think that thing is Santiago doesn’t have, a leader.

My worst nightmaaaaare

When we talk about nightmares in general, we can refer to a bad dream you have or a situation that really freaks you out. In this blog, I'm going to talk about a little bit of both options. I'll start with the first that I mentioned. 

Since I was a child, I remember I've had a lot of weird dreams, without a logical explication, like I think the most of people had once in life.

Well, if I start to think about them, these are the things that arrives in my mind.

One of my nightmares started when I was sleeping, I had 14 years I think, and I dreamed that I can’t control my body, and all the things I wanted to do are unuseful. I remember that I was driving a car, and I can’t controlled it, and I was very desesperated and anxious, and when I woke up, I went to my parents bed because I couldn’t sleep.

 I hate when I had any nightmare, because after I had one, I just can’t sleep L

And talking about the another option, like a bad experience that you don’t want to live, I can say that terror movies absolutely freaks me out and always I watch one, I can’t sleep too (haha it makes me have nightmares too). I found this when I saw the movie The Rite on the cinema, and since that day that I avoid these types of movies.  

These are one of my experiences, and I hope to not have more!!

My future job

Well, since I was a child, I’ve always imagined me in the health area. And I've never changed my mind about it through the time passed.

My dream always was helping people to be and stay well. And it is until today.  

That’s why I’m studying dentristry, to return their smiles and confidence to people in general (child, adults, older people).

I imagine myself in the future working in different sites, for example, I want to work in public hospitals in some time in my life, and I want to have my own appointment in another too. Or I also imagine being part of a huge team of investigation related to my career.

So, how you see, I want to be in outdoors and indoors haha. I hope to have the opportunity to fly to another places in the world one day, to get more experiences about my profession and learn a lot from them. That’s my target.

Talking about the major I’m thinking of taking, I wanted to be in pediatric area, because child have always make my attention focuses on them, and also because their problems are important for their development in the future (in my case, this dental development)

Well, I hope to live all I am writing here one day!

Things I would like to do before I die

  

When I think in my life, and proyect it to the future, I always think that I’m so young, and there are so many things that I would like to do before I die.

I want to make and show you a list with its reasons. I hope one day I can achive them. HERE I GO!

1)      To make sports for the rest of my life

It is very important to stay healthy in time, and one way to reach this is making sports. Since I was a child, I’ve passed for many of them (basketball, volleyball, tennis, swimming, roller skating) and I want to practice again the last one.

2))      To record a song in a profesional studio

I love singing, and I’ve always want to be in a room with microphones, and with a person teaching me how I can sing, and getting better.

3)      To know Punta Arenas with my family

Every year me and my family try to go to somewhere in the south of Chile in holidays. But, since I was a child, Torres del Paine and glaciers have called my attention. I hope to go one day with them and enjoy the fresh air, the landscapes, the food, the pictures we take and the rest!

4)      To watch northern lights  

I think this one is the most beautiful spectacle in nature: lights of all colors in the sky! I hope to be alive to see that. (243 words) 

The best concert I've had... Lollapalooza Chile 2014!

Well, I have to admit that in every concert I've gone to, I've had a good time. But, if I had to choose one, I think I would choose this: Lollapalooza Chile 2014. 

Lollapalooza Chile 2014 was performed in Parque O’higgins on March, 29^th & 30^th. 

I went there with three of my best friends that you can see in this picture, and we absolutely can’t get over that day until today, because we had bought the tickets on August from last year, and we had to wait ALL of THOSE MONTHS to be there and we absolutely enjoy it together more than ever, taking pictures and running stage to stage, singing and jumping in every song we liked and absolutely happier than ever.

The experience to be in Lollapalooza is awesome, because you can stay there all day watching any band you like! The park is big, and it has like 5 or 6 stages, and also stands with everything you want: since food and drinks to Lollapalooza merchandising (t-shirts, jockeys, key-rings, etc.)

At the end of the day I was exhausting, but very satisfied and my friends too about the adrenalinic experience of these type of concerts, like festivals.

The next year I’ll go too, so, I’m getting ready for those days!

Promoting my beautiful country... Chile!

Have you ever thought about why many people from different countries visit Chile? I found reasons that I’ll explain now.

Chile is a country located in South America, next to Pacific Ocean. It’s long and narrow and has territories linked to it: Easter Island, with its tipical moais and Antartic, cold and far, with penguins and a few persons that stay there representing us.

Well, talking about its beauty, I can say that it lies in, for example, the weather and landscapes. Can you believe that our territory is divided in regions with heat, desert, cactus and beaches; and in another side we found with millenary woods, lakes, glaciers, volcanos, mountains and coldness? Two different sides!

And what about Santiago? With its mediterrean weather and many places to visit like Cerro San Cristobal to walk and discover the capital, Valle Nevado to ski, Mercado Central to eat delicious meals with fishes like salmon, for example.

In another point, it’s essential to mention Chilean gastronomy. Since tipical Italian hot dogs, empanadas, corn pie to humitas and mote con huesillo you can enjoy!

And obviously, its people. Setting aside all of our defects, we are nice people, and I’m sure that we want you to feel comfortable here.

I don’t want to tell you more. You only have to come and discover the magic that Chile contains!
