blog 4: stress

Hello everyone!

Today I have to talk about stress and work, so I think that this is a very interesting topic, because nowadays it is one of the most common problems in our society. There are a lot of things that today can take you to the stress. We know that Chile is one of the countries with more hours of work in the world, so we are more tired because of that, also a lot of people are studying or doing some advanced courses so they have a double job. Women are very stressed because they have even a triple job, including work, the house, kids and so on.

So all this conditions of our society can take us to stress, but how can we know when we are stressed? There are some symptom and sings that we can recognize:
- Headache
- Stomachache, gastric ulcers
- Nauseas, vomiting
- Tachycardia
- Nervous habits
- Problems to sleep
And so on.

Stress can brings you a lot of problems with you family, friend, with your job partners and every place where you are. Stress can damages you in everything you do, in all your activities, you could have problems in you job because you are not in good conditions and if you are student it could damages your performance and your grades. As you see it is not only a problem with you body and health, but it also means a problem with the people that shares with you and in your performance in everything you do.

blog 3: A healthy lifestyle

Hello everybody!

Today I’m going to tell you through the blog about a healthy lifestyle. First of all I would like to say that this is a topic very important because nowadays there are a lot of diseases related with an unhealthy lifestyle. In these days I think that is harder to have a healthy lifestyle, with all the technology that we have, now everything is easier and handier than before. Things are designed to be fast and disposable, for example, people don’t cook anymore, they buy fast food. People don’t go up the stairways, they use the elevator.

All these advances have done of us lazy people with an unhealthy lifestyle. So ¿What is a healthy lifestyle? Well, it consists in feed with a balanced diet, eating food of all the food groups but with different proportions, following the food pyramid. Also it consists in to do exercise at least 3 times at the week. It seems very easy, but we know that around 90% of the population is sedentary and almost the 50% are overweight and obese.

Like future health professional we have to educate the community in healthy lifestyles mainly people with a low social class, because in these people sedentary and obesity are increased. Furthermore healthy lifestyle means all the actions that help us to have a healthy life, for example and from the point of view of my career, to use condom is very important to prevent some sexual transmission infections. So a healthy lifestyle covers everything related with a healthy life, not only food and exercises.

blog 2: favorite get-away

Hello everybody!

In this opportunity I have to talk about my favorite get –away, but really I don’t have one. So I’m going to explain where I like to go in general. When I am in holidays I like to go to the beach, I really don’t care what beach in specific, if it’s in the north, in the south or in the center of the country; what I like is to travel far from Santiago and all its pollution. When I’m tired because of the university, the ideal would be go to the beach for a weekend, and it would be perfect id I go with my boyfriend.

Also I like to go there in summer, I love to swim in the sea, to spend time with my family and if it’s possible with my boyfriend too. I like to eat seafood and fish in the restaurants, I think this is the season where I eat more seafood in the year.

I would like to live near of the see and can watch everyday its beautiful color, feel the marine breeze and enjoy the nice climate, not too cold not too hot. Besides the people that live out of Santiago are very kind, the environment is so peaceful, so nice.

So, if anybody wants to invite my anywhere, the best option is the beach.

blog 1: music

Hello everyone!

Today is an important day because this is my first blog in this semester and I’m glad that the topic chosen by us is music.

I really like music, I like gothic metal style, but I can listen to another kind of music too. I like some bands where the vocalists are women, I like the lyric style with choirs and violins, but I like the rock as well, with a more heavy style. I have some basic knowledges of music because I sang in a choir during 3 years approximately and I learned how I should breathe to sing and other things like train my ear. Also my boyfriend studies music and sometimes he teaches me some general things, so I learn a little more about it.

Generally I listen to music when I am using the computer or when I’m tiding up my bedroom or my house. I like to listen to the music very loud because at the same time I sing the songs very loud too.

My favorite band is “After forever” they are from Netherlands, the vocalist was Floor Jansen, I love the way she sings, she has a very powerful voice, she can sing in a lyrics and also in a rock style, I really admire her. Now the band doesn’t exist, but I could saw them when they came to Chile in 2005.

blog 9

Hello classmates!

Today I’m going to tell you about my blogging experience. Well, for my the blogging experience was very funny, I really liked have to write about a topic and express my self. I liked the topics too, I think they where very interesting because they where related with our career, so I could say everything that I wanted, even I could talk about the Lacuna coil’s concert in the blog 7. Also the blogging experience was very easy for my, because If I didn’t know some words I could use “wordreference”, and it helped to me to learn more words like connectors and helped me to have a more fluent writing.

In my opinion, this is very funny and useful way to learn more English, to increase our vocabulary and it helps us to think in how we can write our ideas in English. Besides we had to comment to our classmates, so we had to read what they wrote and understand it, for that reason I think that was important to comment to our classmates. About their blogs, I really liked to read the Pía’s blog, because I think she expressed very well her ideas in English.

blog 8

Hello everyone!

In this opportunity I’m going to talk about my ideal job. In blog 5, I told you about all the places where I want to work, but today I’m going to tell you about only two of them, because they are the most that I like.

I would like to work in the public system in a “consultorio”, because I think that in this place I can help to the women to know and understand what happen with their bodies; I think this is a very good place to educate to the people. Besides I like a lot the gynecological and sexuality area, and in this place I can do both.

The other place where I want to work is in my own “birth’s house”, as I told you in blog 5 this is one of my projects. Here I want to receive the healthy pregnant women and help them assisting labor and birth. My ideal would be to check all the process of pregnancy and then to assist them in my birth’s house. In this place the environment will be very peaceful, and the service will be like teachers have taught us, with support, comprehension and everything that women need and deserve.

blog 7

Hello everybody!

Today I will tell you about my experience this past Tuesday in the concert of one of my favorite bands of music called “Lacuna Coil”.

I knew that they will come to Chile the past Saturday, my sister call me to tell me, we didn’t know that they will come to Chile, we never saw any publicity about it, she knew because her friend told her. In that moment I thought that I had to go. I passed all the weekend thinking about the concert and that I haven’t enough many to go, but finally I decided to go. I bought the ticket the past Monday in the mall, so the Tuesday I came to university and after English class I stayed a while studying waiting for the hour to go. I met with my sister at 7 o’clock at Santa Ana subway station, and then we walk until “teatro Teletón”. After waiting around 2 hours Lacuna Coil went up to the stage. In that moment the show started, it was amazing; the sound was very good and powerful, just the way I like. When Cristina (the vocalist) started to sing, it was wonderful, she really sings spectacular, she has a great voice. However I felt the concert was too short, although it wasn’t. The final song called “our truth” was the best; I sang it with my heart, because I like it a lot. Then they said good bye to all of us and left the stage. I didn’t want to go, but it was finished, finally I went to my house.
