Addictions

Addictions, an interesting topic, all the people has at least one addiction, some of them are harmless, but up to what point? All the excess are dangerous in some way, for example: candies, almost everyone like candies, there is nothing bad in eat candies, but if you eat candies all the time, you probably will have diabetes, cause of all the sugar you consume. If you try to quit your addiction, you will experiment abstinence syndrome, addictions are a really serious topic.

But let’s talk about my addictions, the alcohol, especially the beer, drink a cold beer in a sunny day, what a pleasure, and drink other, and other… until I get drunk, another pleasure… hahahha I mean, everything is better when you are a little bit drunk, just a little bit, I do not enjoy feeling dizzy and without any control of myself. In other words, I like drink alcohol in a moderate way. The statistics says you are an alcoholic if you drink all the weekends…. I do that, so technically I am an alcoholic, what a sad thing.

 Another addictions I have is the nicotine, I really enjoy smoke a cigarette, especially when I feel stressed for the tests. Is the perfect way to relax, I know, Is dangerous smoke cigarettes, that is the reason why I try to do not smoke, but sometimes I really need one… someone please give me nicotine patch… HELP ME

Postgrad

In my opinion, have a postgrad is a really cool thing, not everyone has one, is evidence that you are expert in a subject, that probably you know everything about it, in other words if you have a postgrad, you rule dude. 

But decided what postgrad I would like to study is a hard topic, basically because I don’t even sure if I like what I’m studying, it hasn’t a year since I am a freshman at the Universidad de Chile.  Here in Chile there is not many postgrad relative to the career of Pharmaceutics, at least not interesting ones. Well, that have a positive side, if I finish my study, and I decide to do a postgrad I would do it in another country, is a good excuse to travel aboard. 

By the moment I feel attracted to have a postgrad in toxicology, is an interesting subject, is relative to the detect illegal drugs in blood test, also detect toxic substance, but the field of the toxicology is not really present in Chile, actually there is not a postgrad in toxicology in any university, so probably I will try to study this postgrad in another country.

Anyway, in the future have a postgrad will be a requirement to get a good job with a good salary, is better have one, just in case…

My Future Job

Hello... it’s me…, and here is another blog, today’s topic? : My future job. Is a little bit complicated talk (write) about my future job, cause is really future, I just started the career of Pharmaceutics. I haven’t thought about it yet, I have approximated six years to think about my future job, but here are some of my options.

Well the career of Pharmaceutics gives me many options for a future job, for example:  manage a drug store, work in the public system at hospitals, work in the cosmetic industry, in a lab supervising the medication’s manufacturing, as a chemistry professor and a long etc.

In spite of this great variation of options I do not know which one I will choose, to be honest I find a lot of this options really boring, probably I will leave this career hahahaha I’m just kidding (or maybe not). The area I find more interesting is work in a hospital, help people, advice people of the right use of their medication.

This kind a secret, but my actual dream job is other completely different: Have a bar and be the bartender, but you know is not a “professional job” so I probably didn’t make true this secret dream or maybe I will …. How knows?

Music

Hello everyone, I love the music, I can't pass a day without music, actually today my headphone has broken, so I didn’t listen music in my subway travel to the university, that was an awful thing to me, because  listen music is one of the things I really enjoy doing.

I started to listen to music as a hobby when I was like 10 years old; I used to like bands like “Linkin Park”, “Red Hot Chili Peppers”, “Nirvana”, “Blink 182”, you can realize that I used to have a very teenager taste of music. But everything changes; nowadays I don’t like them anymore.

When I was 13 years old, my dad gifted me a bass guitar, I learnt to play many rock songs. Later I started a band with two friends; we used to name our self “Los Parias”, we played some rock songs like Hardest Button of Button, Uprising, My God Is the Son, Psycho Killer, Weight of Love, Bettlebum etc. We played once in a “tocata” at high school, it was a total failure, I won't elaborate on that, is just a bad story, believe me. 

Another aspect of music I like is the music in the Movies; the right music can really increase a scene and become it in an epic scene. The soundtrack of “Requiem for a Dream” is really sublime, has the perfect leitmotiv for the plot of the movie. 

And to finish this blog, I would like to name some bands I listen nowadays, the most frequent bands to me are: “Muse”, “Foals”, “Pink Floyd”, “Stone Temple Pilots”, “Royal Blood”, “David Bowie”, “Led Zeppelin”, “The Doors”, “Franz Ferdinand” etc.

Olfaction

Hello folks, now is time for another blog and today’s topic is about the human body, everybody knows that the human body is like a perfect machine, there is a lot of process that happen in the human body, just for say something: the digestion, the cellular respiration, the excretion of non-useful substance etc. all necessary to keep us alive, in other words the human body is amazing.  Well I have to write about only one subject of our body, and I choose the sense of smell: The Olfaction

The Olfaction is a chemical sense, in the nose we can find hundreds of receptors, each binding to a specific molecular texture. When we got a molecule in our nose some receptor are more excited than others, this combination of excitatory signals determined the smell of the molecule, this signals are processed by the olfactory system then the brain translate this in the sense of the smell.

That’s all the “science” behind the olfaction (in a very simpler way), to me is a really amazing sense, most people prefer other like the sight or the hearing, because are really useful and essential to have a normal life, but the smell let us enjoy the little details of a perfect situation : the smell of the beach, of the forest, of someone you love etc. the smell of something we like, can makes us happier.        

My Best Concert Ever

Hello Folks, Today’s topic is about the best concert I have ever been. Well, I haven’t gone to many live shows, actually only four, because is a little expensive get a ticket, at least for me; (yeah remember I’m a poor guy). Anyway, the best show I’ve ever seen was: David Gilmour in Chile, 20^th December 2015.

This story started at the first day of sale for the tickets, it was in September, I think; I went to HardRock café with two friends (Vicho and Pizarro) because in that place they sold the tickets cheaper. The line was endless; we spent a whole day to get the tickets, actually the same day the tickets got sold out.

The show was amazing, David Gilmour is a really good artist, he was the guitarist of Pink Floyd, one of my favorites band. I was in the floor pretty close to the stage. The atmosphere was sublime; the stadium was full of people singing out loud all the songs, the best moment for me was when he plays “Time” of Pink Floyd, that moment was epic.

A Contry I Would Like to Visit

Well... Hi again, it's a new semester, that only can mean one thing… there is new blogs over here. Today's topic is about a country I would like to visit, that is a hard question for me, I have never traveled aboard, probably because I'm too poor, so I would visit many countries if I could.

When I was a child I wanted to visit Greece, in that time I like the Greek culture, I used to know a lot of Greek’s myths, this “obsession” with Greece was probably a consequence of watch Saint Seiya,  I really wanted to be there.

Nowadays I don’t want to travel aboard to Greece, I mean, it is not my priority, I rather prefer visit England, because of the architecture of London, the cold weather and the British accent. Besides for what I know the British’s candy are really sweet,  I would eat a lot of them, if someday a travel aboard to England.

 

And That’s All Folks.
