Your Future Job

  Yeeee, I have to write a little bit about my uncertain future... And as I'm studyng Biochemistry I guess that my future will be there, in some area inside the biochemistry. Thinking this for a while I guess that I can picture myself inside a lab studying some molecules, or watching the behavior of some proteins, maybe in a clinical lab studying some viruses and the possible cures of the illness that they produce, I don't know, it's kinda early to picture this clearly, but I'd be happy in a lab doing some chemical reactions, or finding some things in some materials, and becoming smarter, I guess that the thing that I want the most it's to have more knowledge in my brain, I really enjoy the knowledge, and try to use that knowledge in a research would  be awesome.

  As I will become a real scientist, I'd like to travel somewhere else and meet another scientists and their works, I'd really enjoy that, so I guess that traveling it's a thing that I want to do, and so I can learn more things, and very interesting and useful things... And with that become a more complete scientist, and I guess that a complete scientist would be better paid (Am I so wrong?) and then be able to live thanks to my job, I don't need a fancy car or a fancy house, if I'm travelling and doing what I like, and also be independent I'll be fine, more than fine... That would be superb.

  About a major?... yeah, give me ten.

  I'm not really sure about which one I'll do... I really want to do one, that would make me a better professional, so why not. But in this very moment I don't know, I want to have more experience as a student and so be able to know what part of the chemical sciences I enjoy the most, and then look out for the major I want.    

Digressing about music: songs, dances, melodies, groups, films...

  Hi not my students, today I´m gonna write about music, because I wanted to do it and nobody else asked me...

  Since, I don´t know, 4 to 5 years maybe I started to find my music taste, this can sound very late, but I never enjoyed completely the music that my family used to play on their radios or computers or I don´t know, Tv maybe? Well, the thing here it´s that because I never liked family´s music I look out for my musical taste, and I started with some bands that I barely knew, like Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Beatles, Queen and Elvis Presley, and little bit of La Ley.

But that was just a start, when time passed I thought that those bands where good but they were old, at the same time, so I started to think that I should look from bands of my generation and live the present, not because the new bands were better, it was because I just thought that the old bands have already marked one generation and they also inspired another generation of musicians, so I looked for new bands (But not replacing completely my old music library).

In my new search I found some good bands, which like The Strokes and The Killers, and with a little help from a friend I also discovered Arctic Monkeys, and from then on on I found a lot of another musicians from the same gender, which will become my favourite one and it´s called Indie Rock... I have to say that it´s not the only thing that I listen to, I actually listen to a lot of different music, which make my actual music library very funny.

  Well, since I like Indie Rock I found a preference for two not very different instruments, which are Electric guitar and Bass Guitar ( I also like tambourine, I think it produces a funny sound). I also started to play Acoustic guitar!

Electric Bass Guitar

  

 It turned out that The Strokes became my favourite band, it´s like they completely catch me with their sound and lyrics, so I started to dig out a little bit about them. Then I discovered that the main composer and lyricist of the band was Julian Casablancas, he is just a New Yorker who used to drank a lot and write songs... that doesn´t sounds very admirable, but he has left the alcohol behind and turned in a very serious person, he has now a music label that has a very active political critic. But that it´s not why I admire him, it´s because I love the lyrics that he writes, it´s awesome, I like close to 95% of the songs that he has written, and the sounds and rythms that he creates are awesome for me as well.

  Have to mention that there is always a dark side of music, and that side it´s made with music that I don´t enjoy. But there´s a funny thing, inside this dark side I can actually find music that I used to like... entrancing, in some way I think. In this "Dark side" I can find some music that used to listen my mother, I sometimes remember those songs with nostalgia and sometimes I even enjoy them, it´s not that I actually hate the dark side, and the singers that I could name would be: José Luis Perales, Alejandro Fernández, and Leo Dan or José José, I don´t know, there are not bad at all, it´s just that I don´t enjoy them so much these days.

  To finish this post I have to tell you guys that lately I´ve been very interested in the soundtrack of Tv series and movies, and there are movies in which I really enjoyed their soundtrack, I can easily remember "Río", with all the brazilian joy and party, also the movie "Submarine" which has an EP very soft and beauty, and some songs that I found in some Tv series, but they are just instrumentals so I don´t know their names (My bad). 

       

Our Amazing Human Body: The Skin

 There is an organ in our bodies that I´ve always found interesting for the simple fact that we don´t sweat in the water... yeah, that simple nothing makes me admire our skin.

  The largest organ of us, the one that protect us from everything, at first instance I mean, at the point where doesn´t let pass everything to inside our body. And also helps us to regulate the temperature of our bodies. For example, when we are doing some exercise our temperature starts to increase, and increases and increases, but there´s a point where we can´t let the temperature to raise more, so our skin starts the sweating process, which consists in the process where we begin to exhale water (sweat) from our pores, and the thermal capacity of the water makes the temperature of the body go down, and so we can keep the heat at standard levels and stay on our exercise without problems.

 

   

  The human skin has a large of close to 2 meters, and it´s from 0.5 mm wide in our eyelids to 4 mm wide in our heels. I don´t know if you know it, but the skin is located in our whole body, externally, it is like our last natural coat, but it has 3 according to how deep they are, their names are: Epidermis, Dermis, and Hipodermis, from the one that is most external to most internal one. 

                 

  There are some illness that can actually attack our skin, sad but true, there are lots actually, one example can be the cancer, which can be in our skin, and from there on on it can possible kill us, but we can manage to escape from it by taking good care of our skin, avoiding the most dangerous time of  UV rays from the sun, or use sun bloc lotions. Another illness is called seborrheic dermatitis which is a very common one that consists in inflammation and the formation of yellow and white scales in the fat areas of the skin, like our scalp, face or inside the ears. This last illness can be cured with normal shampoo and some very normal drugs, that you can easily get in a drugstore.

  There´s very easy to have a good skin, you just have to use sun bloc and avoid the most dangerous UV rays, which is present at a couple of hours everyday, you can also have to take care of some parts that are weaker than others, or maybe they are just at wrong places, like our feet, they can be easily infected by micro-organisms that can enter by some cuts, or even infect the foot by itself, so you have to use some foot powder and keep your feet as most clean as possible. Those recommendations helps you a little bit, now, if you want to have a very wealth and shiny skin you should have some another products, like skin lotions and drink 2L of water everyday, and... I don´t know... I´m not a dermatologist.    

 

Best Holidays Ever

   It happened almost 2 years ago, in January the 3rd of 2015, when me and my schoolmates went on tour to southern Chile. That was a travel we have been plannig since our first year of high school, that "tour" began with a 3 straight hour bus drive from our school to a restaurant in which we stopped for breakfast, from then on on we started to travel and meet some beautiful places.

Frutillar, Chile

   The tour included very different cities from the area like Pucón, Frutillar, Villarica, Puerto Montt, Ancud (which is at Chiloé's Island) and some other cities. It was fun at the beginning of the tour, it was like a party inside a bus, with almost 40 people, all schoolmates, and everyone there was having full with their life-long friends, because most of people in the grade were from the very beginnig of school, so we knew almost every schoolmate since years and years, which made the experience very funny.


  The tour lasted almost a week, it was six days if I'm not wrong, but the shortest doesn't mean the bad, that week we barely sleep, leaving the sleep hours for the long road travels, and tried to enjoy the most of our awake time by meeting some natural landscapes, eating lunch at the hotel, and having fun all together at parties or conversations in the nature with some guitar playing, or whatever we thought at the moment, we also had an sport activity on Pucón.

  This holidays were the best for my beacause was an awesome travel with friends, and just us together in an unknown place having a good time, with conversations, parties and good places with them.
