France

Hi!!!!

Today I want to talk about the country would yoy like to go to....and this country is France.

I really like France, because I like the remember who I have of Paris, I like the sensation of romantisism and the architecture of Paris. Is true, is a city very energetics, and all the people runs all the day, but the other things of Paris are more important to my, like the food, the food in Paris is very good! I like the fondue, and the Raclette, and the Kebubs, and the crêpes and Galettes, and the sandwhich of chesse, because the chesse in Paris is very very good!! !!

I really like live in Paris, France. I lived in France since 1999 to 2004, and is very diferent to Chili, but I really like Chili, and I always preffer Chili to and other country for live, work and study.

YOGA

All my life I thought that sport was not for my, until one day I am sick of the back and I was advised to attend yoga classes.

After much thought, and few want to go, I found a place online rather dictated economic class, and was a day to see the place. When you enter, I thought that I was wrong because it was Indian food restaurant, very nice !!!..... in the back rooms were, I received a very sympathetic  Argentine and invited me to go immediately. I returned the next week with all my equipment but not yet convinced.
 

The class was fantastic !!!!! I was really happy, I left very relaxed and renewed, the first week and even the first month really hurt all over but then after the first month of yoga quite an addiction for me, going every day and if I missed some kind felt that something was missing.

I think that everyone should practiceYoga! :)

In the midst of our modern world characterized by daily stress, fatigue, and pollution, more and more people are seeking that elusive sense of relaxation and inward awareness.

Hailing from an ancient tradition originated in India, Yoga has long since provided people with a refuge away from the everyday confusion and entropy, and has transported an increasing number of people to a peaceful oasis within.

Why practice Yoga??? Because:

 Yoga relaxes the body and the mind

Yoga can help normalize body weight.

Yoga improves your resistance to disease.

 Yoga increases your energy level and productivity.

Yoga leads to genuine inner contentment and self-actualization.

All encorage all practice Yoga!! is closely associated to ancient texts, beliefs, and values, it also yields benefits useful for people's practical daily lives!!!

THE ENVIRONEMENTAL - ISM !!

I think people learn environmental practices from the family, society, and also from organizations related to this topic.

Personally, practiced recycling in France, where I lived for 4 years. Everyone recycling practiced, and there was much support from the authorities to do so. Everywhere there were special landfills, there was information available and make profits from these practices were known and internalized by all.

Also, the means of transportation was very convenient and helps a lot for not using car.

Currently I do not recycle, and I think that here in Chile are not ripe for recycling to be effective, for example here in Chile is very few people know how recycling, very few people wash the cartons and bottles before depositing in landfills for recycling, very few people will remove the caps to bottles and containers and recycled separately: plactic, cartons and bottles. All this makes companies responsible for recycling to be extremely complicated in Chile, and is expensive and inconvenient in terms of money for businesses. Besides this the state here in Chile has not taken over this issue, and are only a few municipalities that have had some initiatives, which continue to be insufficient.

I do not do much to help the environment, however, I walk a lot.

I've never been associated with any organization nor would ecological and since I do not feel comfortable being part of any of these organizations.

My Second Life

MY SECOND LIFE

Hello!

Today I am going to talk about my life would have been if I had studied something else. The truth is that I have begun to study various other things like Civil Engineering (two years) analysis systems. But there is a race that always caught my attention and I was about to go to study ... Architecture. I've always liked art creation. When I test the PSU had to choose between a career in architecture and psychology. For both races must pass a special test and these were the same day at the same time, so within seconds I chose Psychology. I think it was a pretty scary choice. Because I was always scared to enter the special test to study architecture, and also always thought he was healthy enough to go to study psychology.

I do not know where would be today if it had followed the career of architecture, I think maybe I had chosen to continue studies abroad, and today would be in Europe, and live in a squat.

Whatever it is I love the career I chose, I have studied Psychology keeps me calm enough to live happily.

Sex and the over-60s

In this article (*) the autor arging  that older people are living longer and healthier than ever as long as they continue having sex.

The author Nora Ephron, who has written about aging, says that if you are lucky enough to have sex beyond 60 years, probably will not have the same kind of sex they had in the 20s. This is probably true, but does not mean that sex is worse at this age. Some Gransnetters say have the best time of their lives.

Menopause, according to Gloria Steinem, can give women a new unity and trust. "What we lose in those years of menopause is all we needed to support another person," he argues. "What is to keep everything you need to stay." The former editor of Columbia Journalism Review Suzanne Braun Levine takes this as its signal in a new book, how we love now, with the argument that older women have more fulfilling experiences of intimacy, since we can discard the expectations of femininity, kindness and acceptance, to be honest about the desire.

Sex, for most people, lining up at some point, though there is little agreement on the timing or the rate of decline. For some, it may stop suddenly in a holiday otherwise unremarkable, while others have every intention of continuing until the end of his days and less frequently states that does not always mean less intense.

Increased longevity and better health means a stage of life never seen before now there is: a middle-aged long: as competent and interested in sex. The novelty of what it means that very little is known about the erotic possibilities - but it is likely to be as varied as any other group, and probably more.

Activated !!!

Hy! Today a write about the music. The problem is that the music is not one of my favorite things... I can listen for a while, but always comes a time in which I stressed, and I have to turn it off. The silence is always my best friend. I think I listen to music most of the time for activated, because that can encourage me to do things, but always I back to the silence.  Even the music that causes me more stress is the music that is more relaxed like Enya I hate that music, when that music comes on the radio I run for turn it off. But for activate myself I have my favorites: The Beatles, Elton John, Guns N Roses, The Mamas and The Papas, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and others. I also love listening to French music: Francis Cabrel, Patricia Kaas, and Yann Tiersen. Although Yann Tiersen is very relaxed, I like it because it reminds me of the movie Amelie Poulin that I love very much. 

In summary I believe that music for me is nothing more than a means to manage my moods, especially the activation.

I dont like FACSO....

Hi! today I goint to talk about FACSO...or maybe not...

My fist impresion with FACSO was " OH MY GOD!!....I dont like this campus, is very awful...." I studied engineering in Beauchef ...and in there all is diferent, I think that is the dream of all student....The building is huge, all is big in there...the classrooms are impressively confortable, the chais are plush, and they have conditioning air everywhere... The room to rest and study is the most impressive part....all is luxury, big and beautiful armchairs and old tables wich style.... One of the library are 3 levels!! and is very beautiful.....and the baths are perfects and cleens all the day....

Ok, FACSO is far away that the perfect world of Beauchef.... The building is very ugly and small, we dont have room to rest instead of, we have a cement bench and table very uncomfortable, our library is small and has not the books we needs, the baths are disgusting, the PCs are very bad and work slowly.....we dont even have a good conection of internet....

I brief....no, I dont like FACSO....

The Madness!!!!

Today is not a good day for whiting….first ….because is Friday!!! And is not only that…second …. is december!!! , and worse than that is only one week for Christmas…. This is very significant for my, and I’m not talk about Chistmas…I talk about this period of the years, because the people becomes crazy…. and more important that that all the institution makes many celebration.

In my case….I have a daughter …and the kindergarden prepare many celebration and different activities.

Beside, the le professors in the university are crazy for pass the most quantity of information and the test are between Christmas and New Years!!! That is not healthy!!

This year I haven’t even thought in the gifts, and my Christmas tree is still in your box…!!!

 That this thing I love in particular and separate, but in this year, all comes together and make my finish with all people ….I become crazy…. !!!!

The End...

The End...

Hello, today I'll write about my experiences with this blog.
I remember my first topic ... Music! undoubtedly the most difficult ... it was hard to achieve 200 words ... the truth is I did not know much to say, nor that it would .... at first the english was not my favorite class .. .

Over time, blogs were becoming every day more pleasant, and with them, the classes ... I remember about the city I Would like to visit ..... which reminded me a lot of nice things....My favorite piece of technology .... one of the most entertaining....The best day of my life !..... the most sentimental, The Kiss !.... the most enjoyment and ....My favorite piece of food.... with which I felt very hungry, especially after adding the photos [personal note: do not write about food when you have not eaten lunch]! :)

I think after all my writing, my eglish has improved a little, at least I understand better when I read ....

I believe that the benefits of this activity is that we must strive to write in a limited time, what makes us focus and give the best of each .... I think the disadvantages are that we have little feedback on how to write ... if we did right or wrong, so we think we do well, when in fact it is not... maybe we could have a weekly task to correct what we wrote in the previous post, although it is clear that will never be perfect, this might help.

I have a few points I'd like to know... th teacher ever to check lots of words required? .... There will ever be reviewed the 3 post .... because I forgot last class! Oopss.  :)

Finally, I say that I enjoyed this activity, at first I thought that it would not .... Many of my fellow seniors talked about these blogs without much love ... at least for me it was rich writing every tuesday a little about me and my preferences ... . and not afraid to do it again next semester!

But for now .... This is the end.
Cheers! :)

My favorite piece of food

Today I’m going to write about my favorite piece of food….But I have a problem in choosing one!!!! Ok, maybe I might choose two of them… The Sushi for the main course and the crepes for the dessert!!!  

The First is: The Sushi

My favorite food is the “roll” with salmon, cream cheese, avocado, wrapped also in avocado. I love the mixture between all of these ingredients!!!! I love also the “sashimi”, this slides of salmon covered with the soya sauce….It’s delicious.

The first time I ate it was …..Oops! I don’t remember!!! But what I remember is I didn’t like it!! J …but. with the passage of time, each time the more and more I loved it. For my pregnancy I ate it five days a week! After, when my daughter was born, she also ate a lot when she had less than a year.

The second is: Crepes!

I really love Crepes! I prepare them very often in my house, the most I like is: the crepe with butter and sugar.

Here, the recipe for 8 big crepes:

¼ litre milk

60 g butter

3 eggs

125 grs flour

20 grs sugar

1 pinch of salt

Heat together the milk and the butter.

Whisk the eggs with a fork.

Put the flour, the sugar and the pinch of salt in a bowl and mix all the ingredients.

Incorporate the mixing milk-butter little by little and whisk vigorously.

After that La pâte est prête !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Kiss!

The story goes like this: It was 1950 and the French photographer Robert Doisneau was in a terrace of a bar with his camera. Watching closely to passers by on the street and the crowd could see a couple of lovers who, heedless of everything around him, kissing passionately advanced. Quickly, thephotographer took his camera and shot this snapshotknown as Le Baiser de l'Hotel de Ville that was made famous to become the best selling photo history with $410,000 copies.

That way I heard the story, and so I fell in love with this photo, I bought a large poster and put it on my wall ... that cutest couple, love in its purest form, the beauty of the moment, the passion of youth the carefree feeling mixed with the day to day in the city, everything was too perfect.

In 1992 a couple came out saying they were those of the photograph. Doisneau had no other choice but to tell the truth before a judge to prevent impostors who might be entitled to the 

$100,000 claimed as image rights.

Life magazine had commissioned a story about lovers in Paris. And it was Doisneau himself who made a series of photos that entitled The Kiss. Those two young lovers to those who, coincidentally, caught in the Parisian streets were but unknown actors (boyfriends, yes!) who asked to pose for a photograph ...

However, the kiss is still my favorite picture .... maybe the metaphor is: True love is a fake!

The best day of my life!

Perhaps, as my colleagues say, this topic is very emotional ... but I do not understand what's wrong with that !!

Today I will talk about the happiest day of my life!
I think anyone could guess what was ...!!!

She is the most precious thing in the world, but at first she was not!

My daughter was born on 27 November 2006. At14:00 hours!! She was born by caesarean, and it was an emergency ....

That day I had an appointment with my midwife .Danae was ready to be born a week ago, but she just did not want.
When my midwife examined me I was 3 centimeters dilated, the midwife could not believe I did not feel the contractions ... then she sent me to the clinic quickly.....

there I got a drug to speed the birth, then my daughter stopped breathing .... seemed to say "no rush !!"....

Quickly the doctors took the drug, and anesthetized me. In a few minutes they took my daughter from inside me ... she was crying, but quickly calmed down... the doctor took her and quickly made the first evaluation ... she was fine! and within seconds left that gave me our first kiss (pictured ).... that was the first, then came many more !!!!!

My favourite piece of technology

I saw the topic today and I loved it !!! 

This post is very exciting for me, because technology is one of my favorite hobbies and I love every one of the gadget that has been in my possession!

My favorite is my IPhone, a little old-fashioned, and waiting for version 5, is what I always carry with me, and I worry if your battery runs out :) !

I bought it in June last year, for my birthday, and this year I hope to change with the new version.

I use absolutely all the time. Is my phone, my alarm clock, my agenda, all my documents are there, my e-mails, my pictures, my songs, my class schedule…is my contact whit this world! 

And has many applications that make my life easier: a map that doesn’t lose, when my daughter gets sick I can record the time of his remedies, and can even recognize songs that can be played on the radio, and then I can download. 

And I can find all that I want, because it has internet ¡!!

What Life Would Be Like Without it ???..... I panic just thinking about it!

Yes, I love my iPhone !!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :)

The Mont Saint Michel

Today I write about the city about I would like to visit.

I very like to visit and live (all my life) in this place, is The Mont Saint Michel a perfect and magic place. The Mont Saint Michel is a French commune of the Manche, in the region of Lower Normandy,  it’s situated on a rocky island in a tidal estuary of the river Couesnon.

 The architecture of Mont Saint-Michel is fantastic and for this reason is the most popular tourist site in Normandy and one of the first in France, with some 3.200.000 visitors each year. A statue of San Miguel Archangel placed at the top of the abbey church stands 170 meters above the shore.

The most wonderful in the Mont Saint - Michel is that in the day is you are in the abbey you see also the sand around, but just before the sun hide, in few minutes the abbey to transform radically and the ocean to surround the Mont. This is very magic!!!

I really like to go with my little daughter, I don’t  saving money to go there, but is very probably that  in few years the Mont saint Michel to receive our visit, I’m sure that she enjoy very much this trip !

The music I like...

Today I write about the music I like listening when I'm feel sad, to cheer me up. But when I feel sad I prefer listening to the music to go with my feeling. Then, when I'm feel sad I always listening to Enya and Yann Tiersen or simply listening to the silence or my mind, this is much better, and the only way to something changes. After that, when my mood change, and I feeling better I like to listening different types of music: Rock, Pop, and Salsa, but always very strong. The rest of the time, when I feel normal I very like spend my time listening to the old classic in English: the Beatles, Elton John, Guns N Roses, The Mamas and The Papas, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and others. I also love listening to French music: Francis Cabrel, Patricia Kaas, and Yann Tiersen. My favorite is Yann Tiersen because he is very calm but not sad and it’s useful to concentrate… you can study whit this music. And finally, when I walk or take the bus I always prefer Shakira, because her music is strong, fast and with a lot of rhythm and this helps me to cheer me up.
