A movie is like thelife or the life is like a movie?

I like watch movies, they transport me to another reality and make me feel that I'm in the film.
I think my character I like the adventure and fantasy film, where there is a different world, where strange creatures and powerful beings and magic kingdoms and heroes and amazing things can exist.
Those films I prefer watch them accompanied with a person who enjoy it as much as I. And if the films have good effects I prefer to see it in a cinema.
I also like films that make you think and it shows difficult problems that a person may face in some point in their life. Those films have to have content, they have to do that I wonder things that I didn't wonder before and maybe teach me new something.
In this category I have "The most difficult decision", "Life is beautiful", "The boy in the striped pajamas", "Babel" and "The pursuit of happiness" among others. It's common these films make cry to the people. I remember my mother cried with "Life is beautiful" and "The boy in the striped pajamas", I don't remember to have cried by any movie.
I hate the predictable ends, the movie has to surprise me even if it isn't correct that a fact happen, for example that the bad guys win.
Some chilean movies are good in my opinion, I hate when they show too much sex scenes (when the most of times are unnecesary). I like some chilean movies because show me a nearby reality and criticize the shown society, for example "Pedro Machuca" and "El Gringuito" or when the movie show simple daily aspects of our life, for example "El Regalo" and "La vida de los peces".
Obiously I love the funny movies, because they make me feel better. And I like the movies that have effects really good, even if they are poor in content., for example "2012".
The only movie I think it left a trace upon me was "Delicatessen" a french movie lively in a Post-apocalyptic France. It was so harsh. "Tony Manero" had a similar effect in me.

Are there two brains?

More than once we have heard that a person are "left-brain" or right-brain" for her/his personality.
I want to clear that in fact our brain has two hemispheres, but they works linked through corpus callosum. It has been said that left-brain persons are rational, intellectual, logical, and have a good analytical sense and tend to be mathematicians, engineers, and researchers.
On the other hand, right-brain person are intuitive, emotional, imaginative, and easily find their way around and engage in the artistic and creative professions.

This idea was fed by the studies like Broca and Wernick studies (where it's said the left brain is related with comprehension and production of language), studies in split brains (where the corpus callosum was cut and the hemisphere were studies separately), Sperry et al studies (where it's discovered that the right-brain have importance in spatial vision, spatial orientation, recognizing familiar faces, and in the emotion of the language), and some school of though, without scientific evidence.

Also the tries of educationist to favor one or another hemisphere feed this idea; regardless that the two hemispheres work together, what has been shown in several studies.

I had heard this myth before, and I believed it because I had any idea of neurology and I think I was a left-brain person.
Now, I think it's clearly proven that even for simple task involve several areas of both hemispheres. We don't operate with separate functions, for example, when we hear a person talk about an emotional topic, we understand both the content and form; when we use the right hand we use information of both hemisphere to control the hand, see the object, predict our movement and think simultaneously.
Our brain is a powerful system that is capable to separate the information, to work it parallel, to process and to give a response, and we feel that like one thing.

I`m according with Dr. Maldonado: “If our brain were so simple that we could understand it, wewould be so simple that we couldn’t” – Pugh, 1977

Stop the world, please!!

Sometimes we have to face problems and not all of us respond in the same way. We are genetically programed to our body prepares itself to fight or flight, like any animal. The way that it prepares itself is stimulating the sympathetic nervous system wich increasing the heart and respiratory frequency, dilating pupil and bronquial tube, stimulating suprarenal glands and redistributing the blood to your limbs. This status was ideal when in the past we had to face with big animals or rival tribes but now it's another adaptation mechanism that bring us problem (like the obesity).

Each person has an threshold of stress, and can express or/and relieve it of varied ways. Today, the most common situations of stress are the job, the school, the public transport, unexpected situations, and any other that involve pressure. When those stimuli are constant (what often happen), it's added to the previously mentioned effects, such as headache, upset stomach, increase of acne, sexual dysfunction foul temper, muscular pain, fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, inmunological derpression and psicological depression among other (this changes can be explained in part by cortisol hormone and its interactions). Complications like that produce a decrease in the labor efficiency and some companies have added anti-stress programs. It shows clearly why the stress have clinical relevance.

The farmacological treatment involve anxiolytics or tranquilizing like benzodiazepines.

On another hand, other treatment involve relaxation and respiratory techniques, cognitive-behavioral techniques, self-control techniques, electrical stimulation, acupuncture and massage.

Catharsis to me is the best way to relieve the stress, it can be shouting, hit a pillow, dancing, etc, only when don't affect your health or the health of another person.

Well, I hope you are not stressed.

Healthy mind, healthy body, healthy soul

These days we are surrounded by temptations that frequently lead us to bad habits. Bad habits may be defined like actions and behaviors that damage aour health in short or long term.

The most common bad habits for attraction and/or comfort are: to eat junk food frequently acompainied with soft drinks, to be sedentary, to smoke, to drink liqueurs, not wash your hands, among others. All these habits can produce us deseases such as hypertension, obesity, respiratory deseases (COPD), and predisposition to suffer traumatological deseases.

The way to prevent thoseproblems and to improve your healthy is, first avoid this habits and behaviors, and second to bring a healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestayle involve have habits and beahviors that protect your body. They include: neither to smoke nor drink liqueurs, to do exercises and eat well.

It's proved that smoke and liqueurs lead to problems mainly in the liver, respiratory system and cardiovascular system mainly. They produce addction too and frequently they are consumed together.

There are several ways to do exercise. You can walk more or use a bike to move, change the time you use to watch TV for time to play with your family and to do axercises together, use stairs instead of mehanical stairs or elevator, become accustomed to execute a little rutine of exercises daily or every other day.

Finally, you have feed well, eating more fruits and vegetables in the breakfast, lunch and dinner; eating low fat, consuming foods lows in calories; and recall don't to eat in excess.

I hope you feel better.

My favourite get-away

The first place that come to my mind when I hear the word get-away is Santa Cruz. It's a comuna located in southern of Peralillo, west of San Fernando, in the sixth region. In that place my best friend, Verónica, grew up. I knew Verónica in "Preuniversitario", since I know her family too, because she bring me to Santa Cruz that summer. Her family lives a country life. The house is in a place called I"Isla de Guindo", there, Aunt Noe is in charge of it. She have a special mood, but I think she like me now. The house is very large with a lot of rooms within and it's very old too (paranormal phenomena have occurred there according to my friend).
Every time my friend can, take me there, generally in winter or summer holidays. I love that place because it's far of everything that stresses me during the year. In that place I can rest and clean my lungs with pure air and I can fill my stomach with country food. There is a river near of the house and it's perfect for the hot days of the summer.
There Verónica knows every body and every places, because it's a little town. Generally, we go with our another friends and we tour the museum, the casino, the bakery (where the administrator love my friend a lot and sometimes give us cakes or ice creams) and in the night we play cards.
We have lived several experiences there and I hope to go again soon.

This is the rhythm of my life...

Hiya bloggers, this time I'm going to write about the music, specially the music I like.

I acquiresd my pleasure from several sources. My parents are fourty four and fourty six, I mean they are of 80' decade, age in wich there were many up and coming bands and styles. Thank sto my dad I enjoy to listen Queen, Simply Red, and many others. I like the musical quality of that music. On the other hand, thanks to my mom, I listen the most popular romantics songs in Spanish, also known as "Música cebolla"of that age. I rescue the letter of that kind of music, although it's often corny.

I was born in the beginning of 90' therefore I like the music that sounds in that time, especially techno. I remember that my favorite radio was Carolina where the techno sounds all day with bands such as Corona, Vangaboys, Aqua and La Bouche. I still love dancing with that music at parties, also with older songs such us Donna Summer, Kc and the sunshine band and Kool and the Gang and newer electronic music. This music make me happy too.

I have gone acquiring tastes of music with the pass of the years and friendships too. I like dancing "merengue", "salsa" and " rock and roll" too, but only to dance.

Sometimes when I don't want to get bored, in the bus for example, I prefer to listen energetic music, rock music, and the bands I like are gothics, for example Nightwish and Epica (I like some techno Gothic bands too). But when I want to relax or concentrate me I listen classic music.

Sometimes I listen Play radio, they have very good music.

I prefer to avoid the reggaeton, the very very old music and very loud and guttural metal.

The End?

Writing a blog has been a interesting experience. I had the idea to write a blog before, but I didn't know about what topic to discuss and that activity in English class has taught me I can write and express any topic, any idea, "anything". This blog will become a little place of reflexions, expressions and catharsis.

Although I have to write in English I amused writing post and reading another post. The topics discussed have been simple, but they have been good to remember and learning words and clearing doubts up. The topics also has brought my career closer so I learnt a little more about Physical therapy and any terms related. It's important to me knowing the opinion of another persons about this topics too.

The advantages doing this blog have been learning to straighten my ideas and put them in a coherent way to express I really want to say, in English. I have learnt new terms too, and how ton use a blog. Its good to do the activity in class because I can ask my doubts to the professor directly and immediately.

The disadvantages have been, as the blog has to do in one class, sometimes it's more difficult to finish at time the blog, because the topic is very simple and there are so much words to write, or that day I wasn't in the mood to write and my mind was slow.

However, after that English class finished I'm going to follow writing in this blog, maybe not in English, but I want to follow writing (poems, short stories or simple thoughts) and expressing me.
