My Ideal Work is....


Hello Classmates!
It's not a very good day for me... but I hope it will get better.

Today I'll speak you about my ideal work, on how I look my self in the future.

In this short time that I've been studying physical therapy, I have seen different areas in wich I could work in the future, of all of them, I've liked in specially two of them.

The one that i like the most is Neurologycal Physical Therapy. It have a great field and the ones that specializes in this area works with people that have had brain accidents, so they have lost some motor functions, or with peoplea with some degenerative problems as Parkinson, or tumor in the spinal cord or in the same brain. So the Physical Therapist are in charge on bringing them a normal life.

The other area that I like is "Traumatology", it is in charge on healing problems related with bones, so if you have a sprain or you broke a part of your body, you must go to the physical therapist, so you can recover your function on a hundred percent.
All though, I'm just in first year, many thing can happen until I Finish studying, so nobody knows.

I can tell you that I'm very happy studying physical therapy, it is really the career that I love, everything on it is perfect, the relation with the patients, the gratification you feel when you heal them, everything is beautiful. It is really the work that I want in a future, I hope, not to far away.

Hope you like your career as much as I do.

See you next week!

Health prevention.


Hello classmates, I hope you liked my last posting.


Today I'm going to talk about health prevention and how can I, a student of physical therapy, contribute in teaching people some things that they can prevent some accidents.




First of all, people must have a balanced diet so that, they can be strong enought to stand in a better way the supposed accident that they can have. This is a prevention that is general of health's area.




Now, in relation to my field, which is Physical Therapy, that is very close to the sport area, it is very common to have some traumatisms like: tore of muscles, or sprains of finger or ankle, or another part of the body, so it is very important that the man or the woman that will practice any sport, has to do some warming-up exercises, so that the muscles don't start doing hard work without a previous or light warm up.

In addition to this, doing sport is very good for health, because it helps you being active and with energy. Sport also helps you because when you do sport, in general you don't get sick so often, so it's helps you to being healthy.


As I'm a student, I don't have too much information, but with the knowledge that I have, I could teach some people that don't have any knowledge about how to keep a healthy life, so that I can contribute with the social service, which is very important at the moment of studying a career related to health.



So, see you next week!

It's a new age!


Hello classmates and teacher!

So long I haven't been here, I've been very busy with university and work!

But now I'm back, and I'm going to talk about a topic that is very important nowdays


Have you notice that women now is more independent than in the past?

Well, this is a fact that is happening right now, because more women day after day are taking control of her life, we doesn't depent on what the men said, or what the men wants, we do that we want and every time we want, we are talking control of our own life!


Before, the women was the one in charge of cleaning the house, or take care of the children, and serve the husband, and the man of the family weas in charge of work and bring de money for the family. Nowdays, this situation have changed, now women doesn't depend on the money that the man brings to the house, because is she the one that works and efforts to bring home the money and the things that are needed.


Also, now couples don't get married before going to live together, the idea is to save money between both, and start to emerge supporting each other.


Personally, I like this change, because I agree with the idea that the women can do as much things as men can.


So, hope you like this little opinion!

See you in the next ocassion.

I love Food!




Hello classmates, it's been a long time since the last time I wrote a posting. Today I'm going to talk about food, what I like and dislike, places where I go to celebrate some special situations, and things about food, so I hope you like this new posting.




The dish I like the most are Pastas in general, I love eating spaghettis, raviolis, gnocchis, every kind of Italian preparation. I really like this dish with any kind of sauce, it can be Bolognese sauce, four cheese sauce, Raviatta sauce, whatever can join to spaghettis.


What I hate the most is to eat seafood, I don't like how it tastes, the way it looks, I can't even stand the smell of it.




Pastas are really good in a restaurant called "Golfo di Napoli" I went there last friday and i loved the place, the service is very good, and the food is very tasty and generous, so it's really a good place to go and have a good time.




Apart of this delicious dish, I also love chocolate! I can't resist to eat it, but I can't deny that, when I finish eating it, I feel really guilty but in the momento, while I'm enjoying the taste of it, I don't feel guilty at all.




So friend, hope you like this post.


See you soon.

I admire...


Hello Classmates, today I have to talk about a person of my carrer (physical therapy) that I admire, and that person is Rodrigo Latorre. He is my teacher of functional anatomy and he is so lovely!
I don't know too much about his life, but last year, while I was studing Nutrition, I had problems in my back, so he took a look to my problem, and he was so nice, he told me the problem that I had (that now I don't remember) and he send me some exercise to do at home.

I know that he studied Physical Therapy in my same university: University of Chile. He has the master's degree in Orthopedic Manual Therapy (OMT), and works at "MEDS". He specializes in treating pacients referred to treatment for spinal injuries. With this titles that Rodrigo Latorre have won, he is recogniced all over the world, so that is one all of the things that makes me admire him so much.

I haven't been too much in touch with him because we have had just one class with him, but I hope I can know him better.

So friend, hope you are ok, see you soon!

My hobbies are...


Ok, this is a topic that I don't like to talk because I don't have any hobbie in particular.
I used to practice athletism, but when I was twelve years old, I had an accident while I was running, and I had to stay in bed for about 1 month and a half, so i really had a bad time.
When I was recovered, I was scared of running again, so I stopped practicing athletism.
I really liked that sport, so now i'm trying to resume this activity.

Since 2004, when I had the accident, until nowdays, what I do in my free time is anything I can do, I pass a lot of time with my boyfriend and I get together with my friends. When I can't go out of my house, I like to listening to music, or watch TV, or stay in the computer.

When I practiced athletism, I used to go to the National Stadium with a school group that practiced athletism too, so while we were training, we share some life experiences, so it was not as personal as some people believe, because even thought I used to run the speed test, I had all the support in my partners that were encouraging me at all times.

So, like you can see, I do thing that young people do, I don't have a hobbie in particular, but I'm trying to resume what I really like to do althought it's a little difficult because i was used to do anything, so start this year training a sport is something that goes out of the rutine, but until now i really like to go and run to the stadium.

So friends, bye bye! :D

A Moving night!


Ho My God! I've just remembered the worst night of my life.
I was watching Ricardo Arjona in "Festival de Viña del Mar 2010" with some friends. When the show came to the end, me and a friend went to the kitchen to make some tea. We where in that, when suddenly the earth started to move. First I thougt that it would stop, but then the moving was stronger and stronger. I ran to the living room, where my boyfriend was, and with my friends we stood under a door. When the earthquake finished, I called to my house to knew if they were ok, and luckly I could comunicated with them instantly.
I waited for fifteen or twenty minutes and I drived to my house. There were no semaphore working, people of flats were down in the street, and it was a caos.
Thank's god me and my boyfriend arrived home safely.

Hope you exeperience have been better!
See you later!
