My hobbies

Write about my hobbies is quite dificult to me, because I like to do a lot of things in my free time( when I have it, because with the studies I almost don't have free time).I like to watch movies, I love to go to the cinema; I like to see Tv series( this is my favourite hobbie) , I like to cook( especially if they are cakes and sweets)and I like to dance a lot.

I love to watch TV series, because when I watch it I feel relaxed, I laugh a lot and I forget my problems and my daily university routine.I started watching these series about 2 years, because a friend wanted to watch Prison break and we gathered to watch this series.

When I stay with my boyfriend we see " How I met your mother" an American TV series that is so great and you reflex yourself in it. We also watch "Cougar Town" , Lie to me, Prison Break. But my favourite is How I met you mother, because it is so funny !

In "How I met your mother" you can see the life that five friends have in New York, the main characters are: Ted Mosby, Robin( friend and ex-girlfriend of Ted), Marshal Eriksen, Lili ( Marshal's wife) and Barney, a womanizer with an obsession for looking good and well dressed. The reason of the title is that Ted tells to his children how he met his mom but (this it funny) in 5 season he never has said the name of his wife and he always talks about everything (problems with his friends, his first girlfriend, his first kiss, ect) and never about his wife.

Another activity that I like to do is go to the cinema , because I think that watching movies there is more exciting than watch them in my house. I often go to the movie theater with my boyfriend because he shares with me this taste for the movies. I love the movies that are romantic, I always cry with them but I also love the funny movies, those movies that make you laugh all the time. The one movie that is my favourite is "Pride and Prejudice", a peculiar love history set in old age.

In resume, I 'm a lover of the seventh art and I hope to remain that way for a long time...

"My holidays"

In the summer I like going out of santiago, because here it's so hot and you can't go out without finishing all transpired. I like going out to the beach, to the lake, to the mointain but my favourite place in Chile is the South, I love going to Conguillio.I wanna go to another countries, for example, I want to go to Australia, Punta Cana, Hawai( there beaches are great); Italy( I love the italian food), Spain, etc.

About the places that I have visited with my family , we go to Comquimbo almost every year, this place is so beautifull and you can find a lot of beaches, good food (the seafood are great), a lot of enterteinment( you can go to "ferias artesanales", good pubs, restaurants,etc).The Beach that I love is "Totoralillo", here the sea is calypso and the sand is so white that you can reflex yourself in it ,like a mirrow.

The place that I think that is the best place in Chile is Conguillio( a wonderfull place in the south of Chile), because here I have a great time with my friend, you can camp and share with nature.This is a beutifull national reserve, where you can see the most amazing nature, this place has plenty of araucarias(a tree in risk of extinction).

For my next holidays, I want to go to Coihueco( I don't know where it is, but my friends want to go because they say that is very beutifull). I 'll go with my University friends and we decide go here because is beautifull, little, cheap, quiet place and Tamara, our friend, has a big hut here( this is the real reason why we all want to go here, because in this place we don't have to pay rent ).
To this trip I will go with: Tamara(obviusly), Andres, Daniela,Nimsi and Jame. We want to invite other friends if they want to go with us and make a big group of friends. We want to visit the town, go to the beach, eat a lot , see a lot of movies, drink and make parties every night.

We all hope that this trip becomes reality and have a great time there.

Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow can be very painful. It surely can alter the way you use your arm, making it almost unusable because of the pain.

It is caused by damage on your tendoms that connects your arm muscles to the bone of your elbow.

You can cause damage by doing activities that strain your elbow, such as playing tennis (hence the name), using a screwdriver or raking leaves. It can be an accident, but it often happens over time.

Symptoms are a little bit obvious: Pain in the elbow, especially when you twist your arm or you're holding stuff. But the pain isn't just local, you can feel it on the lower arm, your shoulder or even your hand.

You're more likely to have Tennis Elbow in the arm you use the most. It isn't weird if pain comes and goes, 'cause it depends on how much you use your elbow. But if pain doesn't stop a few days later, or if your arm is red, swollen and/or tempered, you should go see a doctor as soon as you can.

Luckily, Tennis Elbow gets better by itself. Just try not to force your arm (pay attention to the pain) or do repetitive movements.

Some people use Ice Packs to ease the pain, and some use support or braces, to stop the elbow to do some moves.

If we start talking about painkillers, Ibuprofen is the most common nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) - they come as gel, tablets or creams -, it is known for helping Tennis Elbow in the short term, but there aren't studies about how they help in the long term.

You just try not to take them for long periods of time, 'cause they can have side effects, such as itching (for gel NSAIDs) or diarrhea (tablets) as mild effects, but it can get worst: your risk of having a heart attack increases on high doses for long time.

Studies say that steroids can be real effective against Tennis Elbow, but eventually the shot will wear off after a few months, and it may cause flushed face (like when you're embarrased...but a little more permanent) or you may feel pain where the needle entered on your arm.

To prevent having Tennis Elbow again, you need to strenghten your forearm muscles by doing exercises. If you want to, ask a physiotherapist for advice. You just need to do excercises for eight weeks to help reduce the pain, studies have said.

You can try acupuncture and, on really critical cases, surgery, but none of them have studies on how reliable they are.
