2013

Today I’m going to talk about how as my 2013 year. We are on December, so in a few days this year will be part of the past. When a new year starts I use to think that it will be a new opportunity to begin. In general this year hasn’t been a year with bad events particularly, but my sensation is that this year was a bad year to me.

Well this year starts and ends bad. On January I had a car accident in a very dangerous road, the car was overturned but luckily I hadn’t any physical damage. The car was completely destroyed.  It was the start of my year.  The end is getting bad because of personal reasons.

About the good things of this year, I feel proud of my academics achievements because I passed all the signatures with good marks and in the end of this year I will finish the pre-degree of my career.  Another good thing is that I already have my internship for the next year in the place that I want, because I have good results on the interviews.  Also this year I moved to Santiago to live on my own house so now I’m more comfortable and I live really near from university. I think that is necessary to be grateful,   my family is alright in all the senses and we have good health.

The end of this year is full of work to do because of the university and I think it is getting endless, but with a little more of afford I will survive !

Eating Habits

About my personal eating habits I can say that I’m vegetarian, that means that I don’t eat animal meat, but I eat some foodstuff derivatives from animals like milk or eggs. So I don’t go to fast food restaurant because I can’t find food for me there.  But this decision is for something personal and not to be on a diet , in fact, I have never been on a diet  because I’m skinny so I don’t need and I don’t use to  read the nutritional information of the products.

I don’t have favorite’s food because I like everything, but I have some vegetables that I don’t like so much: broccoli, cucumber, cauliflower. And the food that I love is chocolates, cakes, everything sweet. I don’t use to try new food because I think that if I don’t like I will lost my money so I prefer to eat what I know that I like. About food of another countries when I eaten animal meat I love Chinese food.

I prefer to eat at restaurants because I don’t like to cook but when I’m in home I like the food that cooks my mother. Fortunately I have never found something disgusting in my food, only some hair but I think that isn’t so unusual. I have try to probe different food like some tropical fruits but id didn’t taste good.  Well I think that I should take more risks about food and try to eat new kind of food because for vegetarian people is important to have a varied diet.

Dreams

I think that dreams have a biological explanation and it is about cerebral connections that are represented by images or sequence of images. The contents of these images have relation with the things that have happened on the day or the things we have been thinking, mainly with the things that we are thinking on relation with our worries or with desires.

I don’t remember my dreams a lot, just when I wake up in the morning and then I forget, but I remember that when I was a child I had recurrent nightmares, and it repeats several times. Nowadays I dream often about some fears, but when I’m dreaming I’m aware that is not real life so I can put up with it.  The thing that I like about dreams is that everything is possible, the colours, the forms, and the things you can do, all is so incredible. Maybe is similar to the experience to have a trip with LCD or something like that.

About the daydreams, I believe that it is necessary have daydreams sometimes to escape of the reality and also because I think is funny to think “what would happen if…” Use the imagination or creativity is important to keep our mind working. 

How green you are?

Today I’m going to talk a Little about how I take care of the environment.

I think that these days it is more usual that people are worried or more sensible about the damage that men cause to the earth. But that isn’t enough; still there are a lot of things to do and to learn about how to be friendlier with the environment. 
 I think that I wasn’t very proactive on looking after the earth but I have always been concern with it, and I used to do little things like not throwing papers on the road or streets. Since four years ago I think I have become more active on taking care the environment, and I have started to recycle cardboard, glass and plastic bottles and tetra pack cartons. It is easy to recycle plastic, glass and cardboard because there is a law in my city that makes you separate the rubbish into three materials, and then the person who is in charge of the cleaning of the building picks up from the garbage closet . But when you deal with tetra pack it is more complicated because there aren’t a lot of recycling points, just a truck that picks it up in the streets one day a week.
 The other important thing is that I haven’t eaten animal meat since three years and a half. I thought that this would be very hard but it was actually very easy, I stopped eating meat one day and I never more felt desire to eat again. Also I walk every day to the university and I use the public transport only a few times. I think that it is necessary that the city gives facilities for people who want to take care of the environment , for example for vegetarian people there should be more options of food on the stores, and  more recycling points  

Books and Reading

I‘ve never been very enthusiastic about riding, I like but I’m not a fan of book like other people I know. When I was a child I read the books for the school , and I enjoy some of this but in high school I read really good books like “ A orillas del río piedra me senté y lloré” and “ El Zahir” by Paulo Cohelo, “ Tengo miedo torero” by Pedro Lemembel, “  Cien años de Soledad” by Gabriel García Marquez or “ Crime and Punishment ”  by Fiódor Dostoievski.  The books that I most like are novels, but there is an exception because one of my favorites book is “The Little Prince”, a book with a lot of metaphor and a rewarding message. Now that I’m in university I don’t have enough time to read other things different from my career. The last book that I read was the popular “Fifty Shades of Grey” it was recommended for my sister and she borrowed me the first one of the trilogy. I read this book in three or four days, I can’t stop reading because the story catches all my attention . It’s about an eccentric man, he is very rich and handsome but has a kind of weird and hide sexual life,.He met an innocent and clumsy literature student and they start a special relationship. I would recommend this book for women that want to read an interesting story that will keep you involved and entertained for a while. 

Depression in pregnancy may affect children's mental health, study finds

 

This article is about a research from University of Bristol that investigates the relation between women that are depressed in pregnancy and the effects of that in the fetus.  It’s was a longitudinal study and they work with a sample of more than 4.500 women and their adolescent children. As the result of this study, the researcher found that there is an important relation with the high levels of cortisol hormone and the develop of the fetus on the womb, this hormone is present in persons with depression. The effects of this could be that children who had a mother with depression during the pregnancy develop a depression in adolescence. This results are very relevant because supports the idea that the mental health must be care before the birth of the child.  The author of this article thinks that this results has an important implication for the improve of intervention which must be during the pregnancy to avoid the effects on the child.  Also the author says that this research gives evidence to start investigate more about the risk of some psychiatric illness that could be transmitted from the mother to their child. So the main idea is that helps women pregnancy is not only for cares her mental health , it also  will help to prevent the risk of the child to develop a problem in the future.

Japanese Animation

Anime is the name to call the Japanese animation dedicated to child entertainment and is very famous in the occidental world. In my childhood was very popular and you could watch on national channels TV.  In these days, on TV you can’t find easily anime or any other cartoon programme, but if you have satellite TV or cable TV you will find anime. One of the more famous anime is Dragon Ball; this is an anime that fascinate child and adult people, and also girls.

When I was a child there’s no so much of anime on TV, but there was one that I like: Sailor moon.  I can’t remember a lot of things about this anime but it was about five girls with powers and with a kind of double life. They should fight against the enemy’s and I liked that they had nice clothes.  Also I watched others anime less popular like DN Angel and Elfen Lied. As well in those days I listened some Japanese songs, the only group I remember is Larc n’ Ciel but I listened just one or two times.

Well I think that anime didn’t influence my life in any way it was just for fun, but I know people that love the Japanese culture and one of their dreams is to visit Japon. The  Anime gets memories to me about moments and people from another stage of my life.
