A life without knowing about our vital signs

Have you thought about the importance of knowing your vital signs? Well let me tell you that I was thinking about it because in this moment I am studying obstetrics and thanks to this I realized that it is a really important thing in the life of everyone. But the knowledge of these would be nothing if there were no specific objects to measure each of the vital signs (temperature, blood pressure). Vital signs are essential to know how our body is functioning, if any value of these is abnormal, it means that something is wrong in our organism.

If I start talking about technology related with vital signs, obviously I have to talk about the temperature: measuring body temperature determines whether a person has a fever. It may also be useful in monitoring to see if a person is ill or if a treatment is working, especially the treatment of infections with antibiotics, for measure this, we use a thermometer, and there are different kinds of these: glass thermometer filled with mercury, electronic thermometer, and plastic strip thermometers that change color to indicate temperature. According to the place where you measure temperature (mouth, armpit or rectum), will be form of it.

Other important vital sign is the blood pressure; it is a measure of the force applied on the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood through the body. To measure this we use a stethoscope and a blood pressure cuff. There are aneroid manometers and others that use mercury (it has a column of mercury to measure pressure). Nowadays exist automatic tensiometers that now are more used in hospitals and in houses by persons that want or need to know the values to control some pressure problem. I think that although the automatic is the most modern equipment, the traditional method with the mercury manometer is the safest form to measure and to give values, because technology sometimes misleads.

Well, once knowing what these vital signs are and what mean their normal or abnormal values, we can realize the importance of the existence of objects that allow us to measure them. Once the technology becomes more essential to people especially for those responsible for the health of them. However it is very important to know how to use these objects because although them not possess complex mechanisms, who use them must possess precision, good hearing (in the case of having to take the pressure) and good eye (to check the temperature of the thermometer).

Challenges in my discipline.

Hello, I was thinking about the career I am studying (as you know, I am studying obstetrics to be a midwife) and I realized that in the future I will have to face some challenges in the different tasks I will have to do so as to take care and concern for the health of women.

But now there also exist challenges in this discipline. One of these are related to social matters, I mean, they affect the way we are appreciated by the people because a midwife has a very important role to play in the community. However, there are people who have no idea what our career is like and they say what is that? Is it like a nurse? So sometimes it is a little embarrassing to mention the career I am studying because I have to say all the things like what it is, what things the midwives do, the different functions, etc. and then I think about this and I believe that to resolve this in the hospitals and health centers the hospital authorities should promote the role of the midwife and highlight its importance and the differences between midwives and nurses. Another challenge is about education because depending on the university in which you study, you will have a prestige, I do not have problems or challenges to face in this area, because the University of Chile is a collaborating center of the World Health Organization (specifically my career), so I know that I will have facilities and recognition, but there are people that study in the other universities (specially the private ones) that do not have much prestige because maybe there are not highly qualified teachers, or they do not have all the resources and opportunities we have (for example). This is a critical challenge because the country needs good professionals, so is difficult to say how to resolve it because is a problem up to university authorities and the minister of health with the minister of education have to take care about that and look for a solution for this challenge because the future of the students of this career and the health of the future patients are in game.

Improving my faculty

Hello, today I am going to talk about my second home, my faculty: the medical faculty of the University of Chile. I like this place but there are some things that I would like to change. In general it is a nice place, without very flashy colors (that is good), with a front part which is not very modern; that brings it a traditional style.
I said I would like to change some things, for example:
-The library: it is an orderly and pleasant place, BUT it has no toilets, so it is very uncomfortable for the students to have to go to another place (the toilets are far from there) and leave the study, that desconcentrates anybody. So I would build a toilet inside the library (on the second level for example), that would help students to better use the time they have to do their job.
-The CES (health student center): this is a place to recreate and organize faculty topics, BUT the office is literally a mess, so you can not find anything if you do not spend time there, also there are toilets but they are very dirty. I would reorganize the place and I would paint it again to give it life, and the most important thing, clean the toilets, this changes would help us to give it a better use and to enjoy staying there.
Another changes more generals are in the auditoriums improve the illumination and the microphone’s audio to help us to see and hear better the classes.
I do not know what else I would improve, because I am happy with the whole faculty… until I have a problem with something.
Bye.

HOBBIES!

Hello!! Today my blog will be about my hobbies, I have three:
First my favorite hobby is to sing karaoke, I started with it about four years ago, and this helped me a lot because now I have more personality than before, because I sing the karaoke song and sometimes I record it and then I share the video in Facebook or in YouTube so my friends can watch my videos and this not ashamed me. For sing karaoke I need a lot of concentration, I need to feel the music to know when I have to start singing and to know which rhythm and tone I have to use. This hobby is very funny because I have accounts in three Internet pages and there I can record the songs and make videos and then share them with the communities, so I am in contact with persons of other countries who like this hobby too.
Another hobby is to surf the Internet the most of my free time, although when I have to make investigations for my subjects I do it too, but is easily for me because I know the way I have to search for the information. I’ve made it since I have Internet in my house and I learned by myself, now I am surprised when someone does not know how to surf the Internet, I think to myself Oh my God, this is so easy! You must to be crazy. I do not exactly which skills I need to do this, but I think that maybe I need some patience; I need to identify what I need to know how and where to search for… I don’t know which more.
And the last hobby that now I done less frequently than before is to read. I do it since I know how to read, and I love it because helps me to develop my imagination, to improve my spelling and my vocabulary. For this I need concentration, comprehension and time (this is what I need now). I develop this hobby individually but it helps me to have another topics to talk with my friends that like to read too.
That’s all for today, bye.

Holiday destinations

Hello, today I will talk to you about the kind of places that I like to go in summer, for example if I could I would like to go to Iquique, because I think that in the north of the country the water on the beach must be tempered because now that I am bigger than before I do not like the cold water of the southern beach (when I was a child I used to go to Concepción, and there the water of the beach is very cold); also I would like to go to another country, like Brazil, specially to Rio de Janeiro, because it would be fun to share with people as happy as Brazilians, and obviously I would like to learn a little of them language and travel by plane (although I would die of scare).

This summer I went to Las Cruces (a beach in the central coast) with my family (my mother, my father and my brother) and then arrived my grandmother, my aunt Cecilia and my cousins Esteban And Cristian to pass some days with us. I had so much fun, because I rested a lot, although I helped my mother in some home works. I like to go there because is a very quiet beach, and special to share in family (this was the third time that we go there). I remember when arrived my cousins, my father made a barbecue with a lot of ribs (that is my favorite kind of barbecues) and then we went to a beach (I do not remember the name but it was near Las Cruces) and I stayed swimming and playing on the beach until seven p.m., after at night we used to stay playing cards, but I never won.

The next summer I planning to go to Chiloé with my father, my mother and my brother because my father wants us to travel to the south of the country, because we always go to the fifth region, and because is a place that I would like to know. There we can know about the popular mingas and eat some curanto, almost we would know about the legends of the area. I think that we would stay in some residential or I do not know because with my father I never know nothing.
Well I hope that this trip to Chiloé is as good as the previous one.

The beatnik turned natural birth expert

Hello, I read a new about a woman that asist natural births in the USA in a "farm" (as she call it) in where live a community of 300 people. This farm was found for a group of beatniks wich like to have a naturistic life, so Ina May became in a midwife that asist naturally the births of the women in the community, she attended a lot of births even of the Amish community, so she obtained so much experience as a midwife with hundreds of years working (she atended a loto f high risk births, breech births, twin births and even feet births). This helps her to write a book with all her knowledge about natural births (Spiritual Midwifery). That book made her known in all the world and now go to the farm women of other countries who wants that Ina assist their childbirth, once Demi Moore called she because she wanted to have a natural birth, but Ina did not know who was Demi, so she said that if some woman wants that she attend her childbirth, she must to travel to the farm.

Bonnie Reed (a woman that have two natural births) told to the reporter that she worked as a birthing advocate in New York helping women to have natural births because in some states of the USA this practice is ilegal. Ina hopes that Obama helps creating a health ministry for help with this problem.

A sporting life

Hello… well you can see that the name of this blog is about sport, but ironically I do not practice no sport, it is funny I know, but letting aside my sedentary life I think that the physical activity is very important in the life of people because it helps to maintain a good health and to prevent some diseases (that is the reason why I must to do physical activity for half an hour three days in the week, but I think that I will start with this the next Monday) but the problem is that the most of people have no time (or say they do not have) often not knowing the importance of this for them life . I imagine if all the people in a country playing some sport or do physical activity, the obesity rate would decrease a lot, also heart diseases and the quality of life of them would be better; also the physical activity helps to feel better with yourself and to be more happy.

I would encourage the people delivering information about the importance of the sport in them life depending the age of each person it will be different because in a children is easily to teach good habits for them health (in the school they have to do physical activity as a subject), in teenagers is a little difficult, because the most of them become in sedentary persons with the technology (the internet, television, play stations and other consoles) so I do not know, I am a teen and I like to dance sometimes watching videos on internet or I follow exercises videos (is funny) and there I am using the technology, so my idea is that this things includes activities for young people so them are interested and they would learn that physical activity is important. In adults is more difficult because they have works, so I think that in their jobs the boss would give them a little time to go to the gym.
Bye.

What to do / where to go in Santiago

Hello!, today I am going to write about Santiago and some places that you can visit.

If you do not know, Santiago is the Chile's capital and it has many interesting places in wich you can enjoy of a good experience (if you are a tourist) or that you should know if you live in this city.

First you should visit the San Cristobal hill. This is a typical place where there are different places to pass a good moment, for example you can enjoy of a peak tram ride to the virgin or just walking up the path until there. There are two paths to go up there but one of them is a little dangerous, and when you are walking through, you can see the city and the nature of the hill. When you are on top, you can look at the city with a binocular (but you must pay) or, if you want, board the cable car. In the hill is also the National zoo, where you can enjoy watching the differents animals that are there.

You can also visit Fantasilandia, this is an amusement park where you can live extreme experiences in "attractions" like Tagada, Top Spin, Kamikaze, Evolution or in the roller coasters. This is in the O'Higgins park where you can go at the afternoon to take a walk with your boyfriend or girlfriend or with your family. Near here is the Club Hípico, where you can see the horses races and enjoy of a fascinating experience with your family, you can also enjoy of a barbacue because there are special places with grills for the persons that want to eate while they see the races.

Near September you can visit the big variety of circus that arrive to the city (obviously you can visit one of them in another months), the most typical circus is "Los Tachuelas". It is always on Gral. Velasquez avenue with Alameda avenue. You can go there and enjoy with their clowns.

I choose this places because I like them and I think that everyone has something special and different things to do with your family, friends, boyfriend or girlfriend. There are others places to visit but I recommend these.

I hope you enjoy visiting some of this places.

Bye.

THE ROLE OF MUSIC

Hello everybody, today I want to talk you about something very important in my life: the music. I think if in my life the music did not exist, I do not know what I would do because the music is present all the time, I mean sometimes I am listening to music or I am singing in the halls of the university or I am singing when I am going home or when I am in home I sing some karaokes to relax or just is in my mind. I think that the music fills my life in every way: I enjoy it, I remember things with it, it is always with me, I recognize myself with some songs.

I like to listen to rock, any kind of rock: alternative, chilean, pop, punk. Sometimes I like to listen to romantic music or soundtracks of movies, but generally I am always listening to differents kinds of music.

I get my music from the internet I look for it in some pages where I can download the albums or songs that I want and sometimes I buy the cd's in Feria del Disco (only when I have money, because here is very expensive to buy the cd's).

I follow a lot of groups and singers, the first of all is The Strokes because is my favourite group ever, then are the rest: De Saloon, Javiera Parra, Javiera Mena, The distillers, Supernova, Britney Spears, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Golem, Maroon 5, Los tres, among others. I feeel happy when I hear them, and I know all the songs of some groups, and when I am in home I like to listen to music very loud, the good thing is that my mother does not get angry when I do that. I hear the different kind of music with no special moment I feel the same way with it when I study, when I am happy or sad, when I am with my friends or when I am walking in the street.

Transantiago, before and after

This is an interesting topic, because I think that the people do not accept Transantiago yet, but in my opinion I like it in some ways because I like to travel by bus to see all the things that the people do in the street and I know that in Transantiago I have time to do this.

If I compare the pre-Transantiago system with Transantiago system, I find some diferences. In one way before the Transantiago, the yellow buses were more interactives, because they had colors, curtains, stickers, and sometimes the buses had names, and that were atractive (for me) because were a kind of entertainment to recognize the buses or in the course of the travel, but now in Transantiago there are not nothing of this. The pre-Transantiago system had a problem that now with the Transantiago does not exist: "the bad mood of the drivers an the competition for who took more passengers", that is a good thing because before the yellow buses had more accidents than now, an this give us (the users) more security.

When Transantiago started -two an half years ago- there was difficult for me to adapt myself to take two or three buses to reach my destination and sometimes take buses and the subway. Now I can move around Santiago with no problem because I learned how to use the system efficiently, and the best is that I only pay once and I can take differents buses without spend two hours.
I do not know what kind of changes needs Transantiago to be better, but I thing that the users have to learn about how this system works and how to use it, and obviously that the people would have to be more patients, and everything will be more easy for everyone (drivers and users).

A country I would like to visit

Hello, this time I will tell you a dream that I had about travelling to another country, and I think that you want to know which is the country that I would like to travel... well I would like to visit France, because this is the country of the love and because in Europe are the prettiest men in the world and I do not know maybe I would find there the love of my life, also I would like to go there because I love the language, all the culture and the history from France.

I know somethings about France like that there is the cathedral of Notre Dame, the Louvre palace, that is the country of the singer Édith Piaf, the french wines are known in all the world and obviously that I know that there is the Eiffel tower, but I would like to know more about the hystoric places of France.

I would like to visit all the famous places and be a real turist and go everywhere with my camera to remember everything. Also I would like to eat all the typical food and the chocolates because I know that if I go I would never forgive me if I do not eat all the kind of french chocolates that exist.

I would like to go there like a turist, maybe on vacations, but obviously that I would like to live there and have my nationality, learn to speak in french and meet people of all Europe, because if I think this like a turis is only a few time and would not learn the language but I would meet people of another countries (turist like me) and that would be funny, but if I live there I would get a job, but I would miss my family so this is not a good option and I only would like to be a turist. In the end I would like to visit France but I do not left Chile to live in another country even if the other country is interesting as France.

My First Term Experience

During my first semester in the university I lived a lot of new things that sometimes were so good and others were really stressful. It was good period because I learnt a lot of things about the human body (the cell, genetics, embryology), about things of nursery that I will have to use in the future as a midwife, and there were somethings that were so hard for me like chemistry because I do not liked this subject, but in the end I had to accept that I will need the knowledge in the future. I remember that in the begining I did not study everyday, but later I realized that if I did not study before the class and tests I will just reprove the subjects, and that is the razon why I started to sleep less because I dedicated most of time to study. Another interesting thing that I did the first term was my elective of theater, because I could do funny things totally diferents to what I am studying and I learnt thing that helps me with my personality and it was a oportunity to do another thing that I wanted to study in the university but that I can not.

I think that I left behind all the activities that I did before the university like friends, family and free time to rest the weekends, because I prefered my studies, but later I started to miss my friends, to need my family and wait for a free time to rest or sleep. That situation was a hard challenge for me because I became in a stressed person but with the help of some friends and classmates I learnt to control my times to prevent it from hapening again.

A thing that I almost forgot, I made a lot of new and good friends and I met nice people and the best of it is that we are going through this togheter, so I do not feel scared about the future thing that I will have to face.

My Blogging Experience

Hello everybody,today I am going to tell you how have been my experience writting in my blog.
First I have to say that I enjoyed writting here the different topics that the teacher had said that we should develop although sometimes I did not like the topics, but the funniest thing was that I had to write in another lenguaje that sometimes is difficult for me.
I think that I enjoy this because like I said before, this was a new experience and it became to be a challenge every friday when I had to write in my blog because I did not know some words that I needed to write and often I had to use a dictionary for look for the words, also I liked it too because I learnt many words and I develope other form in which I could implement my knowledge of English and I hope that you like my uploaded blogs.
The times that I did not enjoy writting my blogs was because the topic was very difficult for me, like the time when we had to do a review from a talk of Sir ken Robinson about the creativity, I remember that it was hard for me to write because first I had to listen the talk and then write my blog, and sometimes I did not know how to write what I wanted to say.

This experience helped me enough for improve my english because I feel that when I talk in english with my classmates and when I have to translate papers for study for my subjects and when I have to do investigations.

I do not have any disadvantage of my blogging experience because I think that this helps to anybody that is newly entering to the world of blogs and want to share things about his or her life and in some way implement the ability to create texts in English at the same thime that have some fun and know another people in the web. finally I like this form of learn a little more of english.

Do schools kill creativity?

Hello, today I am going to do a review of a talk called "Do schools kills creativity?"given by Sir Ken Robinson, in which analyzes the reasons that education influences the development of creativity of children; he gives this talk for a wide audience, but especially for parents of young children and I think that he is absolutely right because I see it in the education that is giving in the school to my younger brother.

Sir Ken Robinson propose mainly that in the school ignoring the capacity to develop creativity of children, I mean, in the school emphasize to strengthen areas such as math and language, leaving in last place creativity, being that this is hugely important for child development in the future -as he said "to face the future"-. He gives evidence of this importance with the history of a renowned choreographer who when she was a child in school did not can develop the talent that had to dance, so when her mother put her in a dance school everything changed and now she is what she is because it is left to develop their extraordinary abilities and talents in dancing.

Throughout his talk he was very spontaneous and attentive to keeping the public with various jokes or funny things that he said that did not make get bored to the public while he was talking, and despite the fact that Sir Ken conveys a personal opinion, he shows appropriate evidence to make the public think and find the reason. Fortunately his talk was very interesting and detailed each item to be developed, making clear his position and views on the topic and develops each point to which to refer so that everyone can understand, even I that never had raised this issue.

I think this talk makes it very clear that great care must be taken when establishing a model of education and must not be set aside any area of capacity building of individuals, that is why we need to give emphasis to all during the first years of school and throughout the training process, only then they can convert in full adults with the capacity to face the world.

My ideal job

Hello again, today I want to tell you something that I want for my future, my ideal job...

My ideal job in the future would be one in that I can go dressed as I like, because I do not like the shoes that the midwives wear in the job (like shoes for grandmothers), I know that they are comfortable, but I would prefer my style. I think that my ideal job would be in Ñuñoa or in Provicencia, because I like those communes. In this work I would have a month vacation in summer and two weeks in winter to rest because it will be stressful. But forgetting those things, I will like to work as a midwife in a clinic, but for this I would need a lot of quialities and skills like: punctuality, responsibility, mastery of the procedures, I will have to be nice and cozy with clients, patient, observer and knowing how to work in groups.

I think that I would be good in my job because, I am going to love what I will do and because I think that I will have all the quialities and skills that I would can need.
I think it will be difficult to get a job like this because I know that many things that I want are impossible, I mean a month of vacation or to go with the clothes that I want is something that I will not can do, but I know that I will find some job that likes me and that I can realize.

Bye!!

My Favourite Subject

I think that this term my favourite subject has been Foundations of Nursing, because is the subjet that is nearest with my career, and I like it because I have learnt a lot of things related to patient care and with health care.
The teacher that teach me all that I have learn is called Angélica Espinoza, and she looks like a friend of my mother as being, and she knows a lot because she has lots of experience, arround 25 years, so I think that she really knows how to carry out all procedures, and how to teach all the techniques and procedures used, for us to learn and can apply them in future.
This semester I have learn things like take the pressure, taking temperature, measure the pulse, how to do the physical exam segmental for newborns and adults, and haw to do an anamnesis, I mean how to get the clinical history of the patient.

I hope that if you are in the university have a funny subject like this.

My Future

Hello, I was thinking about what I would like to be doing 5 years from now, and I think that I should be living in my own apartment with my cousing Fernanda, because we do not like to be under the pression of our parents, and we will be older than now to make the things by ourselves.
Professionally I would like to be working in an hospital taking care of the newborns and women of every age, because in five years from now I had finished my career in the university, and I will be a midwife.
I would like to be single because I do not like the young married women, that has to be bored. I would like to enjoy my youth and have my oun freedom to do wath I want to do.

My ideal future would be to live in Europe, I do not know in which country, I only know that it have to be in Europe, I would like to have a big house near the beach or on the countryside and have two orphan boys to take care of them, and give them love and security. I would like to meet a good man, but pretty, that loves me but not to marry. I would like to go to all the film festivals, because I know that in Europe are the most important or them, and I love movies, I am happy when I watch one.

I do not know wath more else can I wish for my future, I know that everything that I have written here are a dream and depends of me that it comes true.

The best in my area

I think that the best in my area are my ex pediatrician and my gynecologyst.

My ex pediatrician is named Victor Santander, he had made me and my brother feel better when we have been ill. Well now I am eighteen years old so I can not visit him, but he continues atttending to my brother and always he can help him. When I was a child I wanted to be like him, but now I discovered that really I wanted to care about neonates. I like him because I know that he loves him profession and he is happy helping and taking care of childrens of every age. I think that his love for health of the childrens is what made him the best pediatrician I have known because I feel the same way that he feels (that is because I choose my career, to help and take care of the babys) and also his big knowledge of health. He had haled me when I was with bronchitis and with allergy, and always he is smiling and showing himself like a quite and adorable person that wants to hear your problem and help you.

My gynecologyst, Dr. Claudia Zajer also is the best in my area, because she knows everything of the woman's health and I think that she is the best because she helps me a lot and she makes me feel like when I am talking with my mother. She also of be a gynecologyst, she make investigations of the women's health and she publish her articules in the reviews of the Hospital of the Catholic University.

Well I hope that you have the best in your area too.

Pd: in the picture she is the woman with black hair.

My career

Hello, today I am going to tell you about my career : Obstetrics and Child care. I think that I am studyng this because I love babys and I care about the health of the women and because I wanted to know if I will really can be capable to go out forward in the university world and thus in the future attend childbirths and help brinding happyness to the new families.

The midwife, help to the society in differents ways like in family planning, orientating women in her pregnancy, teaching sexuality and basically taking care of everything about women.

The tools that a professional in my area will need in the future are things like sissors, tweezers, and everything relationated with gynaecology.

In my career my favourite subject is nursing's foundations, because in it I can learn about how to attend the patients and I have so much fun learning and investigating.

At the first all my friends and neighbors asked me to attend their childbirths but I said them that in five more years I will can do that before that time, no. I think that that attitude was because my career is very important and it must be very significant that a person that you know and love helps you in that moment.

I do not know what more to tell you about my career because is something so beautiful that is indescribable, I thik that when I attend a childbirth I will feel everything that guide me to love what I am studying.



See you later!

I love this photograph ♥

Hello! Today I am going to talk to you about a photograph that is my favourite. This picture likes me because it makes me remember my days in school although I do not like my uniform (I really hated it) I think that is a tender picture because in it I am with my mother and she look very pretty.

This picture was taken in my graduation, that was an important day and I was happy because all my family were there with me... well I have to avow that I cryed a lot because I was sad about leave the school an my classmates and friends. I do not know if you can see my red eyes, but in that moment I had them red because my sadness.

My father was with me too, and he took the photograph; he is a nice person and he wanted to have a picture of my mother and I for put it in his office... he loves us so much.I have some pictures with him, but this one with my mother is my favourite, I know that my father is not jealous about that.

I think that this photograph shows the love between my mother and I, and the friendship that we have ♥.

I hope that you had liked my photograph... in another opportunity I will tell you more about my life.

Bye ☺

Medline Plus :)

The career-related web site that I enjoy visiting is Medline Plus, because there I can find whatever I need about health and the human body, like a dictionary that helps me with my doubts. I like this site more than anyone because it is easy to use and it is in Spanish (that is very important to me, but if someday it bores me I can use this page in English. This page contains images and pictures of the things that I am looking for, that makes my surf more funny and didactic. If I am looking for a disease, this site shows me alternative names, definitions, causes, symptoms, exams and treatments among others. I use this site everytime I need some help when I am studying, because sometimes I do not know the means of some words, so the only thing that I have to do is write on my browser http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/spanish/ency/article/000491.htm and then write the name of the thing that I am looking for.
I remember that I found this site for casualness because in the school I needed to do an inform of the diabetes disease,so I went to Google and it sends me to this site and from that moment on I became in a fan.

My Favourite Piece of Technology

I think that I can not live without my computer, because this is my favourite piece of technology. I remember when I was fourteen years old my father gave it to me for my birthday and from that moment on it became something necessary to do my homework, for my entertainment and whatever I want to do.
I use my computer to listen to my favorite music, to watch movies, sing karaokes, see and save my photographs, write my reports for university and with the internet I can be comunicated at any time with my friends and family, and also help my bother to do his homework.
Before I came in the university I used my computer all day long, but now I only can use it when I came back home and that is very bad because I miss it when I am not in home.
I like it because it is a thing and it does not have feelings so I never get angry with it and that makes me happy, also I like it because I can choose the colors and pictures I put in the desktop.
If I do not have a computer I will become in a sad and bored person and I would not be conected with the world.

Do you want to know who I am?

Good, I will tell you about me... My name is Annais, I was born in Santiago of Chile and I have lived here all my life. I am seventeen years old and I am the smallest of my friends so they care a lot about me like my family... I love them so much, specially my brother Nicolás that is a crazy but lovely boy. Now I am studying Obstetrics and Child Care in the University of Chile but this takes almost all my time and I end my days so tired that all I want is to stop the time and sleep.

I am a girl that likes to listen to Chilean Rock and Rock in general, and my favourite groups are The Strokes and De Saloon, I love to sing all day long even in the university, and everybody looks at me like a crazy girl because nobody else does the same thing, I think that this is because of my personality. All the week ends I share the nights with my neighbors and we like to sing karaokes and talk about ours lifes.


Now at the university I am in an English course, I love this language but I do not know how to speak it, but I think that with the passing of time I will learn the form to speak in English because one day I want to travel out of my country, maybe to some country of Europe or to the United States of America and thus I could go to Hollywood and comply my dream of seen my favourite movie stars, specially Tom Cruise; since I was a child I want to be an actress and now I do theater in my free times.



Well that is what I can tell you about myself for the moment, maybe in another opportunity I will tell you more....
Bye
