Tornatore's lover

The title is just that. I'm not the lover of nobody :)

I never thougt about the kind of movies that I like. I just see it and fall in love of them, I cry, laugh and even I fell fear.
When I was a little girl my dad used to take me to the cinema and We stood hours there, even after the movie. We talk about the amazing thigs that We saw.
But, now I'm a big girl, and I stood home to see the movies that I see in the cinema once. So, if you ask me what I prefer I can't answer with the true. I love both.

My first "movie-love" was Mathilda. I was a little girl and I though that I might be able to move things with my eyes and have a teacher called "Honey". But all change when I saw :"Cinema paradiso" and a few years later "Big Fish"

About the Chilean films: I have not clue about this kind of films. I mean, I've seen many Chilean films, but I'm not in a position to criticize. I love " Se arrienda", "que pena tu vida" and "Promedio rojo".

The film that has left a trace upon on me is... Cinema Paradiso and Big Fish :)
Why? Just because yes is the reason.

Nuovo cinema Paradiso is a Italian film written and directed by Giuseppe Tornatore.
A little about the plot:

"During the 1980s in Rome, Italy, famous Italian film director Salvatore Di Vita (Jacques Perrin) returns home late one evening, where his girlfriend sleepily tells him that his mother called to tell him that someone named Alfredo (Philippe Noiret) has died. It is made clear that Salvatore tends to shy away from committed relationships and that he has not been back to his home village of Giancaldo, Sicily in 30 years. As she asks him who Alfredo is, Salvatore flashes back to his childhood."

"Understanding the Brain: The birth of a Learning Science"

Dr. Maldonado talks about a lot of myth really interestig and fascinating, for example he talk about the myth that you only can learn until the old of three, or that the brain of a men is different of a women. Myhts that stay in the conscience of all the people.
But, actually more interesting that the myths was how they become alive. It's impressive how we stay "back" in the news discover and how the things are involved in our perception.

"This inevitably leads to faulty interpretation, questionable extrapolation, and, more generally, the genesis of falses ideas"

Improve your memory!

When I read this part of the chapter I think that the person that fall in this slogan didn't read "Brave New World " of Aldous Huxley. The first thing that you see is a scene when they try to teach minwhile the person is sleeping. Of course, didn't work out.

I always hear this myth, but I also knew that was a big lie.

Well, is not a complete lie, but is not a great idea for learn, because you always join all the senses for put in your memory something for not forget.
But is better if you stay awake in class :) and much better if you do a concepts map after, because increase the ability of resolve problems. This work activate different areas of the brain during the process.

So, in conclusion you can not belive all that you read.

Stress!

We can define stress as a physiological reaction of the body to deal with a situation perceived as threatening or increased demand. It is a natural and necessary response for survival.

Stress's symptoms

-Peripheral vasoconstriction
-mydriasis
-tachycardia
-tachypnea
-slowing intestinal motility

All these mechanisms are developed to increase the chances of survival in a near-term threat, not to be kept indefinitely, as happens in some cases. n the medium term, the sustained alertness may cause diseases.

The stressors or triggers of stress can be any stimulus, external or internal (physical, chemical, auditory or somatic and obviously, the life in general) that directly or indirectly conducive to destabilize the dynamic equilibrium of the body.

To combat stress is recommend breathing exercises. The goal is to exercise voluntary control over breathing, so we use it as a painkiller when we overwhelm the stress.

Usually the doctor say "Stay away of stress situation" That makes me laught. How could I stay away? The life give us a lot of difficult situation, but te really importan is that all hace solution

This was something of Wikipedia :P

Healthy lifstyle

Celebrations, Healthy lifestyle & more !! :)

In our country, big celebrations comes with a big and delicious food.
And for been more specific, in my family the celebrations are longs. Very.

I think that, even when you have a family like mine, It is possible have a healthy lifestyle. And I'm not talking about diet or kill us because we are hungry. And the time is not a excuse for not do sport, because I'm a hard believer that if we organize our time well, we can do everything. - Sadly, I'm not one of these people, buy one day I'm gonna be the real example of the thing that I'm saying.-

The thing that I'm trying to say is that the only thing that we really need to do is
do sport and have a healthy diet. It is normal that you, once in time, "get out" of
youre healthy diet, but if you always do something more that sitting by the computer all is gonna be ok.

But, more than be slim, for have a healthy lifestyle we need a "healthy brain". Youre happiness It's more important. Even what you wear, and what do you do have a influence in youre happiness. You have to do everything the thing that you want do.

It is hard, but you have give yourself a gift once in time.



---- A few words for the "vomer-girls":

"It's not always rainbows and butterflies. It's compromise that moves us along"
PD: This is calling Karma

My Get-Away

When I was little, my family and I always traveled to Temuco. There we had cows, for that reason my dad always had to go.
I remember that we stayed three or four weeks at my aunt's house.

The house was big and old, the wooden floor sounded "crash, crash" when you walked on every morning I wake up with the moo of a cow.

In the morning I loved feel the smell of freshly baked bread and the warmth of the wood stove. My aunt also always sang old ballads of love minwhile she was preparing lunch.

It always makes me smile that my aunt started very early to prepare food, and in a 2 *3 all disappeared into our mouths.

After breakfast I came out to the "backyard" and I stayed under a tree reading, sleeping or perhaps repeating the ballad of my aunt.

It was the only place where I did not care if I listen music, watch movies and go to bed early.
Even that I liked beacuse when I should go to bed early, the next day we were going to milk. The funny thing is I did not like (and do not like) milk so fresh and natural.


It wasn' t a extraordinary place, much less to go as a tourist, but I loved it.
Years ago we stopped going. The aunt died and dad sold the cows. The place became property of a lost cousin.
But still, there are times when I close my eyes and I can feel the voice of Aunt : "Me escondes el pijama y extiendes el mantel, un descuido y tus regalos se manchan de café"

The first post...ñe.

I could not decide the topic

Le Grand Cahier

A few years ago I read "Le Grand Cahier" of Agota Kristof. For being fully honest I would not recomended this book to all kind of people, especially those that are really sweet and sensitive.

It's the story of twins during what appears to be WW II (although it's never identified). They are dropped off at their grandmother's house in the Little Town by their mother who can`t take care of them.

The novel is a kind of journal written by the twins as an exercise. They do this kind of things with the idea of being totally unfeeling.

How I said: This is not a book for the faint-hearted, because talks about the horrible things that go on in the home front during a war, and how this kind of times brings out the worst in the human been: reveals the monster that all of us have in the inside.

Actually, I have not idea why I'm talking about it. Maybe because this book affect me like no other book has. I reallized that I'm a lucky girl that have dreams and the possiblity of make them real.


Music

I loooooove the music. Really, my life would not be life without music. All kind...
well... maybe not all kind (reggnblanf, blanftonton ñe...I can hear it at a party, but beyond NEVER). I usually get music of everywhere. I meet people and I said to them "Give me music" and they usually do. I think that the music It's a good way to meet people.
One of the things I love most of the music is that you can listen at any time minutes. And this is because there are different classes and each is suitable for every occasion.

The end :)

Blogging Experience...

Hi! This is my last post.

I never have a blogg before, so it was a really interesting experience.

I had to learn million things that I never imagined. Really I'm not a good-cyberspace-traveller. And the technology doesn't my friend.

I love writing about my experiences, however It is difficult if is public or with particular subject.
I really don't like that we weren't able to choose the subject. I love writing, but if it is with no rules.
If I have chosen the topic, it would have been able to write more.

But not everything was dark and difficult... jé! This experience allow me think and speak at length related about my course. And I realized that I love it. I fall over it, each day that passes and each time that I know more about it.
I don't know if this help me with my english problem...I have a terrible phonetics and, obviously, the blog doesn't make you speak in public, so I never put in prove.

The best thing of have a blogg is that you can develop closer relationships with colleagues, writing stuff to you're friends velociraptors.

That is all.
The end
at least!

Future

I usually don't talk about my future.
Maybe I'm afraid.
I don't know.
I don't like talk about the future. When I was a little more younger, I always liked close my eyes, breath deeply and dream that would be.
My grandfather always was smiling, and he started to tell me his dreams. He never realized them

It is not that I'm a "without hope person", but the life has taught me that not always the things go well...That is the reason that the expectations of my life are so simple.

I just hope be a good professional, give everything I have, with pleasure and dedication... Make a little difference.
Working in a public hospital and (dreaming a little more) in a home birth, with colleagues that love their work, just like me. With patientes who have confidence in what we do.

I want to work in the area of neonatology, because I like the babies, and I want to give them the best attention.
I see me working hard for a best gestation, labour work and birth

I'm actually never think about the working hours, benefits, location or income, I know that is important but I' m not studying this course for money, just for vocation.
Maybe a nearly location, because I want - in case of emergency- arrive fast at the hospital.
The only benefits that I need is feel me fulfill about my work, because THIS is the thing I want to do, and I'm gonna do everything to do it.

That is the thing I feel.

Education and Prevention in health care

Today the topic is about
Education and Prevention
...
Better safe than sorry
…
The prevention acts in many areas, in prevention of risks, diseases, earthquakes, among others.

It is very necessary, because both - Education and prevention- are related with the
well- being of all the people. It have a huge importance in the peoples lives.

The fact that we help educate people about potential disease or risks for their health, we are helping to prevent it.

The midwife acts in the area of health, to be exact, in the area of sexual health.
The professional should be educate about the risks of not being responsible and aware of the acts of each person.

It should be taught - for example- the importance of the use of condon, or other contraceptive methods. Also about the potential diseases (the horrible and dangerous STD) or unwanted pregnancy.

Actually, that is the only way. Education.

The work of th mindwife is wide. She must star in the beginning, doing talks in school, propaganda ( like pamphlet, posters, etc...).. Her work never ends.

The importance of the mindwife related to prevention and education is very big.

Actually, the only thing that the mindwife is teach the risk and how prevent they, because the person is the only that can decide about them health.

Traditional Roles

It was time that the perception of our gender change. If the society was doing it, how something so tied to the society was not going to change too?

Since always women value being sensitive and maintaining good relationships,men value gaining status by following "the rules,". Since our society values competition and individuals being successful on their own, women's orientation towards caring for others and/or cooperatively building the community is considered (by the male dominated society) to be of lesser importance.

Women have always faced a home context, however today it has opened to a world previously only be awarded to males. And so does the man, who in today's society will benefit in regard to relations with his own family and will commit time to be included in a space formerly purely feminine.

I do not believe the man has lost his place in society, they now share their roles with women and vice versa. It is not difficult to find a woman executive, so as it is not to find a dad at home preparing dinner.

Society is not only the external or public, but also a private one. There should be no sovereignty of one gender to another, but complementary.

I don't believe that stereotypes of men and women contribute to an understanding and acceptance of who we are, maybe help, but this doesn't define us.


Honestly, I get along better with boys. Soil more fun with them because we have common tastes, I think that is because I have older brothers.

I think both genders can provide equal benefits for the development of society.

And I think that in our course the men can give us a new perspective.

Food!

A few days ago I ate pizza with my friends.

I love pizza, but It doesn't my favorite food.

Actually I like all kinds of food, junk food, health food, ethnic food, etc...

In Santiago there are plenty of good places where you can delight yourself with good food at different times.

For example, with my friends go to "Pura Gula" a place that specializes in all kind of pizzas. This place is in General Holley 2380, Providencia.

When I'm going out with my family, I eat ethnic food...peruvian food, Chinese, Indian or sushi, well, all kinds.
We like taste different kinds of food.
I think it's best to taste the food before giving me the idea of its flavor. It is good to have knowledge of each one of them, because the food talk about the culture of the country.

When I'm alone I eat in "Verde que te quiero verde", Huérfanos 3020, it is cheap and the food is great.

But, despite I know a lot of place to eat, my mom's food is always better.

But, I have to admit that I hate...really, really hate the cochayuyo.

I eat a little of ereything.
And I think that we must have a well-balance food.

Midwife

The truth is I do not remember when I decided to study obstetrics.
I think it came out of fate.

At first everyone (including me) thought that I would study engineering in biotechnology but a few years before giving the test (PSU), I decided that that course was not for me.
I just could not see me without human contact.
Choose to study obstetrics was not difficult for me, my mom told me that when I was a little girl
I always said that I would became a midwife.

My expectations of being a midwife, are reduced to help the woman, make her feel protagnist of this beautiful process...Change the way that looks like childbirth today, and that these families found in me a friend.

Being a midwife is really important, and requires real commitment.The people do not believe it, but the process of gestation, and birth meant a lot to the relationship that will be among the family.

I really hope be a good one.

Post #4: career-related website

Career-related webside

I'm not actually a good internet user, so I don't have a URL related with my career that I visit constantly.

But looking for one, I found too that sound pretty good.

The name of the first is : "Nuestro parto" And I like because talks about the new form that we must see the process of labor. It's the new eyes of the new midwife.

http://www.nuestroparto.cl/?p=32

It's section mainly concentrates in the contact. This web side try to give option to the mother to finds differents especialist that treated her birdthing process in a personal way.

It's a nice web, with nice colors, and also pretty pictures about life, also informs you what is happening with the career.

The second one's name is : "Colegio de matronas"

http://www.colegiodematronasdechile.cl/

It's have different sections: national directory, regional councils of midwife, legal counseling, FAQs, related link and options for improving the field, etc...

When I see this web I immediately thought " This is going to help me, in the future"

So, I like it. It's very informative and formative.

That it's all.

My free time

I actually don´t have any free time now, because We are in exam period.
But I really love writing and I do it in everywhere, especially in the bus.

This hobbie started four years ago. I used to be on the team of basketball, but in a game I was injure, I hurt my arm and I stop playing. So, I started to write in my free time. About anything, I don't know, about the old lady of the baseboard, the drive bus, even I write about the bus.
I do it when I' m sad, happy, angry.

Maybe It' s the way that I let go of tensions.

Writing is an indivivual practice, but even this allowme to meet people who share my experiences, opinions and preferences.

It's really nice when you hear that someone likes what we put on paper.


I Also love to read little of everything , from small novels superfluous ( like Twilight) to things like " Carta al Padre" by Kafka.

And I love hear music.


My hobbies are quite individual, but I love human contact. Actually, my hobbies started when I couldn't continue the hobbies that I had before. For example, I loved swiming and play basketball, but I leave them, for injured and started to write and read.

I play the piano too, I love the feel of the keys on my fingers. My intructor used to said me that I was to lacking in perseverence. But I become quite good.

But I let the paino, for time.

I don't have nothing of time. My buddies tell me that, constantly.

My expirence: Earthquake

That nigth, I was tired. Really, really tired.

I arrived home, and fall sleep at the moment. My dog, as usally, jumped in my bed and stay there. I woke up, and turn on the TV, without any sound.

I feel a sound of an structure movind up. I turn off the TV, and the floor started to move. At first it was a gentle, but then, my bed started to move of one side, to the other. It was awful.
My dad came to my room and we tried to come down the stairs, but the movement not alow us.

So, we stay there meanwhile the earth shake us, with violence. In that moment, I remeber my dog, so I went to my room, and took it in to my arms, and paf! The sound of broken glasses came on.
And then...
Silence.

At home was all in darkness...

In the morning, after check us, we started to sharing out water and bread on the condominium.
