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.

My Guide of Santiago

The city of Santiago, Chile represents a distinct blend of diversity. Everywhere you turn you’ll be faced with beautiful buildings, fun restaurants and cafes, and astounding collections of artwork.

There are tons of sights and attractions to keep visitors to Santiago occupied. If you’re visiting for the first time you’ll probably have a difficult time determining where to start. If this is the case, check out some of these attractions first.
In Santiago you can visit a several places where you can know much of our history and culture.It has: the "Bellas Artes" musseum, The national historical musseum, Plaza de Armas, Cousiño palace, " La Moneda", La Cjascona,etc; this places are so beautiful because they are national monuments.

You have to climb the "Santa Lucia" Hill. From the top of this hill you can see the entire city of Santiago as well as the beautiful Andes. The hill is littered with walking paths, beautiful gardens, statues, and even a small art museum.San Cristobal Hill, accessible via the aerial tram, is also a great place to stop if you’d like to enjoy some of the area’s astounding scenery. This hill is home to the Metropolitan Zoo, a myriad of gardens, and two gorgeous natural swimming pools, they are gret but a little bit expensive. You can go to Snow in Mountain range of Andes, this is a very turistic place of Santiago and exist a variety of places that they have it: La Parva, El Colorado , Farellones for example. Here you can do snowboard , sky and if you love the snow, you can stay here in the best and the most comfortable hotels.

If you don't want to cook and you need go out ,in Santiago we have many restorants and places of fast food.My favourite place is "El Rincón del Inca", this is a restorant in Bellavista where you can eat Peruvian and Italian food;Here the food is delicious and the attention is the best!. The Barrio Bellavista is a very good place to go if you want to go to restorants, pubs, discoteques because, here you can find a variety of this places, and if you are young and want to have fun all night this is the place to have it.

And finally if you want to go out of center and go to the surroundings of Santiago, you have to go to El cajón del Maipo, where you can find rivers, fields , a beutiful nature; you have to go to Pomaire and go to the restorants and buy things of "greda", they are native of Chile.

The music in my life

Music is very important in my life , I think that everything in this life has music, we listen to music everywhere but we do not realize that because this is something so natural to us.

I think that listening to music relaxes me , because when I feel bad or I have to study, I listen to music to lift myself up or concentrate. When I stay with my friends we always put some music on the radio because we sing together and we listen to the music.
Now, for my studies,I hear less and less music because I have trouble with my concentrating, not like before because now I have to study so much.Music to me in this moment is something that I can live with out it, is only an accompanymen to me.
The music that I hear is very different :I hear Coldplay, that is kind of pop music but is very calm, this group is from England.I like Iron Maiden, Metallica,Mago de Oz......those are METAL bands, and this kind of music is very energetic and cool; I like The Beatles, Nirvana, Belanova...those are pop bands to...and many many types of groups!!

When I go to the parties I like to hear or dance "Merengue" and "Salsa" because I think that this music is very contagius and when you listen it you feel that your feet move instantly.This music is from central America ,and for that I think that it is so contagius, sensual .

I download this music from internet with ARES, because I think that the CD's are to expensive and If we can downloading the music in the web and don't pay anything for this is more convenient than buy it ; I know that this is very inconsiderate of my part but I don't care.

My favourite place...

The country that I want to go in the future is Australia, because I think that this country is so beautiful and you can find so much variety of scenary,you can find a modern and cosmopolitan city full of urban malls, fine pubs and hotels to the exotic and majestic natural beauty of its valleys, flora and fauna unique in the region. In Australia live Koalas and Kangoroos, and I love these animals, because I think they are unique and so sweet.

I want to go to this country with my friends, we have a plan that we must go before I'm 30 years old, because we want to live and work here, because I think that the oppotunities to work in Australia are good. Obviously, I want to go to work there with a labour exchange program, with this I can work a few years there (with all the comfort: salary and house) and later I have to go back to work in my country.

I want to know Sidney, and go to a lot of beaches that you can find there, but I want to know one that I think is fabolous:
Whale beach is so beautifull, you can find a lot of tropical coral , and see beautiful tropical fishes.The sand in this place is so white that you can reflect on it and the sea is calypso, and it is my favourite colour!

For this and so much...I want to go there and have a great time!

My first term in University

Last term was very dificult for me, because the change was huge. University is very different than school. Here you have more classes, more subject-matters, you have to read more and integrate more; here the exigency is bigger than school .First I didn't know how to study , because before I studied the day before the test and i had good marks, but in the university you have to study many days before your test.

About the subjects that I had in the last semester (I passed everything!), I enjoy very much the course about Histology and Embriology, because I didn't know anything about this and it's very interesting to learn more about our tissues and the human body. The other subject that I enjoyed the most was my CFG "Ballroom dancing" , because this was my only distraction of my studies.

Here in my University I knew very special people, I made good friends easily, because the people are so charismatic and friendly that you can speak hours with them and you can feel like you are with your best friend forever.

This year I have felt a little bit depressive, I think that this felling is because of the pressure that we have for all the subjects that we have to pass. For example, I feel that "Anatomy , Neuroanatomy...."(KEF--a integrative course) are so hard but at the same time, I like it, and sometimes I think that my study and effort is not enough because in this subject I have my worse notes. But in this semester I will try to spend more time on this subject and try to not feel this anguish when I have to study this.
