Goodbye 2013 !

  

    We are to the end of year and is usual think about the things we have done during 2013. Some of them are good and other not much, but I think that with each one we learned something and we grow in our life.

    For me the 2013 was a good year, I did too many new things and in general - thinking in my personal life like also my university life - I have had a good luck (:. I met to nice and funny people, also I knew beautiful and interesting places and I did job activities so entertaining that were flexible to my time.

   But now, when I start to remember with detail all the things of this year, I found a situation that I can say it wasn’t good. This situation it was a day when I went riding to my bicycle and a car crashed me in a street corner. Thanks to Ganesha I broke nothing or something like that, all thanks to my bicycle; I just burst into tears because I scared with the collision and I saw myself in the middle of the street with cars by two directions. I said thanks to my bicycle because it received the impact, the wheels and handlebars were so bad and the brakes broke. The good it was that the car man was responsible and he paid all the damages.

    Another thing, but so sweet and nice, it was that I gave to my mom a little dog. Today she tells me all the adventures of the doggy and she is so happy with this new member of the family.

   Well for the moment I don’t remember other situations but if you know me you can imagine the things I have lived. You should do the same, it’s good remember our experience.

Regards!

My Best Friend

    I think that a good friend necessarily should be someone who you can trust, who supports you in hard moments and who gives you a smile, who be concerned about you, someone with who you can spend a pretty and funny time and finally who you love a lot.

    Personally I consider I’m a friendly person because I don’t have problems to start a conversation with somebody, mi unique condition it’s that she/he be an amusing and nice person with who have a good relationship. I don’t care if it’s a university student or if it’s a worker, or if it’s someone who does nothing or be a unknow, these things are not important , I have no problem to start a conversation with a stranger. Because this reason I think I have good relationships in general and I make friends easily. I like it (:

    My best friend of life it’s Rocío. She is from Curicó (my city) and I met her when we were in first grade of secondary, we were classmates. She was sat behind to me and at moment when I taken my notebook from my bag, she saw it and loved it. We started to talk and since that day we have been best friends.

    In this moment I don’t remember a specific situation where was good that my friend to be around. But a good anecdote with my best friend it was a day of high school when we didn’t have class and we decided to explore the place; we did it and we discovered a beautiful garden into the establishment. All was green there were too many flowers, trees and bushes. With my friend supposed that nobody knew it, so we baptise it like “the secret garden”.

The Green World

Hello!

Can you imagine a green world with blue sky free contamination n’ pure air? Well I can.

The people say they want to a better world, without wars, suffering, famine, human exploitation and things like that, with the idea of have a happy future. However I think the people forget an important factor of our planet which I considerate it’s elemental for make a better world, I refer to her health. The society has not a green thought because I can see how the persons get dirty the streets, parks and everywhere they go. The good notice it’s that nowadays there are ecologist groups – without reach to be a lot – that invite to community to be a responsibly about the city pollution and also they teach simples and goods practices for keep clean and decontaminate all our common places. I like this theme, in fact I try to recycling at much possible at my house; I ride to my bike everyday – I hate the publish transporting – because I think it’s a great method to 1) protect the environment 2) save money and 3) to do physical exercise; also I always put the garbage into the plastic bag when there’s not a garbage collector and I bring it with me until find one.

Currently I don’t be part of some eco organization because I don’t feel the necessity to do it, I can do the same environmentally friendly practices and encourage to the people those practices, without join to a group. For example, for reduce my carbon footprint I try to be carefully with my alimentation, I eat fruits and vegetables and I avoid eat meat; also I responsibly with the use of energy, I don’t abuse of the household equipment; and I try don’t use the publish transporting.

I think that a one of the things that in our city are missing it’s recycling garbage collector, these should be at everywhere for the increase the green mentality community.

Good bye!!

Is there a place you have always wanted to visit?

Hello everyone! 

   Traveling around de world it’s a big dream that I have. I would like to visit India, countries of Europe and of course The United States. But if I would have choose one country in special I think that would be England, because it’s the birthplace of a lot of great musicians like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Blur, Sex Pistols, Led Zeppelin and many many more artists, it’s a large list! I also traveling because the people say  - on the internet or the tv - it’s a country so beautiful, with many places to see and the people there it’s so funny. Really I don’t know much about England but I like that condition because if I would go I going to learn through my own experiences. The first I would do is the typical touristic things, for example I would visit go to museums and historic buildings, I also eat a lot of fish and chips and apple pie, the traditional foods. Finally I would like know the nocturne life, how are the parties, the pubs, the common drinks and the young people dynamic.  Then I would go to London for take the double – decker buses and take photos to the guardians of Buckingham Palace, hahaha.  I would work and live in England, exactly London, because I could walk along the streets which in one moment were step on by John Lennon! I hope that all the things I said come true someday! :D

Hello !! How are you? Today I’m going to talk you about cine, I hope you enjoy it like me (:

   My relation with the cine is in some way ambivalent I mean I like watch movies but usually I haven’t the time for sit me and watch a movie… It’s so sad. Until this moment I have a long list with many films to watch and also I am practicing a technique which consist in watch some movie without matter the time it go on or how free time I have the point is watch it all I can and take up again without let happen much days. 

   Regarding to place to watch films I think that it depends of the movie. For example if is  a movie so good for me or that I’m waiting it for much time the ideal will be go to the cinema for watch it. On the other part if is a movie to watch with a nice company and have a good moment together with someone I prefer the movie at home.

   Well the big question is what is my favourite movie… It’s hard to decide but I guess that one of my favourites movies is “The Birds” by Alfred Hitchcock definitely. It about a mother - Lydia - who doesn’t accept the romance between her son - Mitch -and a woman - Melanie -  because she thinks that Melanie will steal her son. In some way Lydia is a jealous mother and all the girlfriends are for her a threat because it means that Mitch let her alone. But, why is it called “The Birds”? Because when Melanie arrives at town where living Mitch, Lydia and his little sister - Cathy - also arrive birds (seagulls, ravens, pigeon, etc) and with the over time they were more and more. The object of these birds is attack to Melanie of way that they appear around the place where she stays, attacking at the same time to the people. Finally Lydia accepts to Melanie and her loving relationship with Mitch and the birds attack disappear. 

 

   The principal cast is constituted for Tippi Hedren (Melanie Daniels), Rod Taylor (Mitch Brenner), Jessica Tandy  (Lydia Brenner), and Veronica Cartwright  (Cathy Brenner)

   I like so much this film because has a reading psychology where the birds represent the energy and wishes of the mother, the feeling alone and abandonment. I recommend this film because it’s interesting and was made by a big director.

Bye! see you soon!

Placebo: an intelligent alternative

   Hello everyone! today I talk you about an article that I found in the web site of The Guardian - a newspaper of London.

   The article is about placebo effect on our body and mind. Has from other study that 97% of 783 medical generals had prescribed placebo or treatments without effective results; in resume it is in all medical intervention. The good news is that in 1955 a Beecher’s study shows that third part of patient was satisfied with the placebo’s affect.

   The interesting of the text is that it declares that the placebo effect it’s just part of the treatment because the other part is doctor’s disposition. This means that the doctor is an influence to us but anyway the reputation, charisma and convictions of him are factors that play an important role to believe him or not and convince us. Is probably these variables were not considered in the Beecher’s results. This way if the doctor’s suggestions convert us in optimist persons this will reflect in the disorder’s development. It’s like if our positive predispositions to illness working like prophecies. Finally is a self-recovery, because our mind stimulates our bodies.


    More recently, in 2004, Wager explained the placebo effect at level brain – thanks to MRI – that had a control group then use a placebo cream which take away pain. This way discovered that active the prefrontal cortex which may be also is responsible of the liberation of opioids that calm the pain in the middle brain, besides of the reduction of sensitivity in the affected area.

Hello!

   If you are student I’m sure that you must live with the typical question that always it’s a kind of pressure: “What do you going to do after the university?”…

Well I have in mind to work and study again, maybe a post grate or something like this, but I don’t know what I’ll do first.  In this moment I identify with the clinical psychology area and I’d love to work with children and adolescents. I will be good working in this area because always I have had a good relations with the children and I’m interesting in know their world and help them if I find a problem in they.

I’m planning to my first years like professional psychologist in Santiago and then go to other city. I hope to get a job in the psychiatric clinical of the University of Chile.. It’s my dream! But I wouldn't like to work all the time in the same place, for example I’d like to work at institution in the morning and have a private consult during the afternoon to complete 8 or 10 hours at day. So that will be a problem because it’s hard to find job at middle time. Also I’d like to go the rural zone or arrive to tows and human settlement where there aren't hospitals or professionals of health.

Money… I always have heard say that psychologists don’t earn much money but I don’t care that, I will work because I like my career not for the money and while I can be a independent person, it’s ok.

Bye!
