My favourite get-away


Hi everyone! This sunny day, I would like to be in another place, enjoying the hopes of the new season, but I wonder where? Every time that I want to get away from the routine I think in a quiet place, away from the city. Within my means, I think that a good idea is the beach, because I love sitting on the sand watching the sea. Nevertheless, the place that meets all expectations is the country; every summer with my family we go to a place called “Peor es nada” where is the house of my father’s family. “Peor es nada”, is a very small village with little population, where everyone knows everyone. It is located in the sixth region, just before the border with Curicó. I love this place, because it is very quiet, you can sit under a tree, play cards, swim in the pool, play a sport, and forget about the external. There I watch little TV and there is no internet connection, so you can spend a real vacation. Anyway, each summer, I meet there most of my family members, which is huge, I see a lot of my cousins and we have really nice family meetings.
Now I remember this, I want the summer to arrive quickly! But this year everything will be different, because the house was made of adobe so it was affected by the earthquake, and some parts of it fell, like the dining room. But as the name says “Peor es nada”, and I’m sure that somehow we can enjoy the place anyways, just like every year.

Please don’t stop the music



When I am asked what kind of music do I like? I think in many different ones, because I really don’t know which one I prefer. But if I have to choose, between my priorities are folk, salsa and trova music. These kinds of music have in common that they use many percussion’s instruments in the songs, therefore the songs are very nice to listen, and some are very good for dancing. When I want to listen this kind of music, I put different CDs or listen to it on the computer, and sometimes I tune radios where they put songs of these styles of music.
If I want listen folk music, I like “Inti-llimani”, “Los jaivas” and “Quilapayun”. For another side, I like the trova music because I think that some songs have beautiful lyrics, in this kind of music I love Silvio Rodriguez and Alejandro Filio (He isn’t very known yet in Chile), in my opinion his songs are very good to listen when I’m sad and when I’ studying, but the problem is that I lose the concentration very easily. With the salsa music is different, because this kind of music I prefer to dance, so I like the songs which are more moved.
In my opinion, the music’s effect is very interesting because many times just to listen to a song can help with your mood, as a musical therapy. The music fills my life, but above all the rhythms that I can dance.

What I want to be when I grow up?

Is very common that I think in the future as something far away, the dreams that I’d like to meet and things I like to do. If I think about seven years more, I’d like to be working in my profession and if I can, I would like to travel and learn additional therapies related whit physical therapy. But honestly I want to do a lot of things, and I’m not sure that I’ll be in those moments.
About my career, I would like to continue on each side of Neurorehablitation, although there are other areas that also interest me.
Where I’m going to work? I think I will see later, but I think that it is important to develop and improve step by step. It is good to start working as a clerk in a hospital, consultation, rehabilitation center, clinic, etc., because that way you can experience the beauty of the physical therapist and develop a team of job, that includes other areas of health.
My dream job would be in a warm atmosphere, I don’t like the idea of being locked up all day in a place, which is why I find it interesting work in rehabilitation center. I couldn’t think yet on the issue of time since everything depends on the conditions in which I find, for example if I have family, I would like to have couple time share and not spend all day working.
I believe that the physical therapist needs a team of job, for this reason that I consider very important to a good relationship with colleagues, and also with all those involved in the process of rehabilitation or are related to health.

Education and Prevention

Hello! Today I'm going to talk about some forms of educate in relation at the prevention in the health. First, is very important the prevention for a healthy living, because is a good strategy to avoid infections and diseases, because promote to the subject of health care.
A good form to prevent at the individual, family and community level is reducing the sedentary and a poor nutrition; this can be improved by increasing physical activity and a good diet. A good idea is increase the physicals activities in the community for the elderly people and to give and incentive at children and adults that do some activity minimum twice a week. There are different ways to prevent disease, as TV program, a poster, a conference, a magazine, a book, a report, etc.
The job of a physical therapy is to improve the quality of life of the patients, so in the prevention can participate in different areas, is very common that the people have muscle-skeletal problems, because are sedentary or have a bad position, so in the future have a lot of problems. The physical therapist teach a different exercises for improve this problems.

is it a men's world really?

The male and female genders have specific roles and stereotypes in postmodern society are very changing in relation at the traditional roles from the past. In the past the woman don’t go out for work, because it had do the homework and care their sons, she had not a free time for study and learn another thinks. In resent years, this is past history, because the woman has more independence and she works like men. The woman has opinion, and this is considered for decision making. In the past the society was very chauvinist, and not considers the role of the woman.
I'm considering that the men don’t lose their place in the society to women, but the women today have very similar responsibilities in the society. The stereotypes of men and women contribute to an understanding and acceptance of who we are, because in the present is very common see at the women development in differences areas of works, and the men much more related with helping in the homework.
In my opinion, I think that is very important to be related to with people of the same sex and the opposite sexes, because have a very different opinion. In my case, I’m considering that a best relation doesn’t depend on sex, only the personality.
Finally, in the area of Physical Therapy, I think that the work is different between women and men, because in general the men have more force that the women, so they can do any thinks that are limited for the force of a woman, that is my case, but this is not a difference in the contribution that each of the sexes, because teach us to handle these kinds of problems.

My future profession!!

Hello! Today, I’m writing about my future profession, physical therapy. In my opinion, it is very important that physical therapists have a service vocation, because the object of this career is to improve the health of the patients. This is possible because they provide services that help to restore the body functions, improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities.

My expectations about this profession are to specialize, but I’m not very sure of the area. I think that a good possibility is the area of neurorehabilitation. It is very important that when I finish my studies, I continue with my professional development, because the advance of the physical therapy is very relevance in the application of news treatments. I decided study this career, because I like the job of the physical therapist; I had the possibility of see this, when I visited at my cousin in rehabilitation clinical.

My hobbie. Dance

Hello! In this post, I’ m talk about of my hobbies and how they have helped me shape my personality. Well, my favorite hobby is the dance, I love dance and I’m practicing approximately for fourteen years (since four or five year old). In this moment, I’m dancing in the group of dance of the Telefonica’s company; I have class on Thursdays in the afternoon and Saturdays in the morning. I think that the dance is very importance for me, I love going to the class, because I can distract and always I’m learning new kind of dances. For example, when I have a problem and I going to dance, I forget the all problem because… “I don’t worry, be happy”. I’m consider that sometimes I’m very shy and quiet, but when I’m dancing I don’t to feel like that. Anyway, the people are very nice, so for me is very enjoyable go dancing.
