Following the Irwin and Corwin legacy!

Hi bloggers!

How are you? If you have read my other post you will remember my love for the Fridays! What awful day…above all for the beginning of the harder month of the semester…but well, it´s time to use the last charge of batteries of die J


The post of this week is related with a very interesting thing again. I will miss the post-making-Fridays, I must accept it. Following with the main thread, in this opportunity I will talk you about a job I would like to do.


Choose for only one wasn´t hard this time, because since I was a child I have dreaming with a future doing this job: being the main star of a TV show related with animals! Probably you will remember to the famous Dog Whisperer Cesar Millán, but my dream is not appointing to the job that men do. My dream Is more connected with the TV shows of one explorer finding animals wherever he travels around the world, and teaching about those animals to the audience. Do you remember to Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter? Someone like him! Exploring the world, entering to the Amazonas only searching for a little viper; digging into the earth for find the mystical caverns where the Axolotl lives; crossing the savage savanna and making contact with the majesties felines whose domains that land, and an infinity of experiences like these!


That job would be the better job in the world for me! What’s the reason? Well, since I was a little child, the core of my interests has been the study of the animals; I remember my first books, about the description of the mammals, and my favorite one: my first book about the animal conduct.  By that reason I think I will be the greatest TV show explorer of all times! (Bear Grylls is too fake xD ).


The only what I need is study Zoology, I hope someday study that career! Is one of the things I more want to do in my life! Studying in the USA will be the better, or Australia.


My inspiration is certainly a guy called Jeff Corwin. I really like Steve Irwin and his enormous legacy, but Jeff was who makes me love that TV shows, with his program called “The Jeff Corwin Experience” that I watched in Animal Planet. The capacity of teach to everybody who is watching the program, carrying to the people to exotic countries, showing to them fantastic and unknown animals, and maybe, helping to create at the distance another Jeff or Steve J  


And well, I love his sense of humor too! He is a master!


See you!

  

Walking with the rain!

Hi bloggers! How are you?

I´m dying in this moment. I understand that some people love the heat and that all, but come on! 32°C in Santiago???? Do you really like an inferno like that? I respect the different opinions, but loving temperatures like that during the SPRING is ridiculous…and the summer is coming D: …. Damn homothermous system….

Well, the post of this week is about a walk I would like to do again. A walk brings to my mind a trip characterized by a landscape like a hill, or a road though the desert… but I don´t remember an activity realized by me in my life. In that case, I will talk you about a good memory related with the action of walk, above all with the awful context created by this absurd temperature.

On 2008, when I was in my last year of school, the class finished at 12:00 and a powerful rain was fallen above the city. The city was Rancagua, where my school was located. Everybody ran quickly to their houses, but me. I really like the rain, and I’ve always loved the winter and the autumn (only the second stage of this, by the arrival of the cold and the beginning of the rains!).  I saw the streets covered by water, the dark clouds and I felt the almost strong wind. I was so happy! And after that, I started my little journey around the city. The streets were practically without people and that was amazing too, because I don’t like the chaos created by the accumulation of people in the small places, like a sidewalk. My trip didn’t had something incredible or fantastic, only was the rain with me, both walking around an empty city. I’ve always remember that day, because simple things like that makes me happy J

I didn’t use an umbrella, and generally I don’t use that objects. Yeah, I know that my health could be in problems if I risk my body to situations of “bad weather” like that, but I would do the same again every time I would have the opportunity!  

See you!

 

Only leave your umbrella in home and enjoy the rain! :D

 

An explosive illness!

Hi bloggers!

How are you?

I´m tired, as every Friday, and well, it is my first on time-post in weeks! (Only two weeks exactly, not one month as says the teacher xD ). And well, the teacher says to us the order of do a “free post”. That phrase gives me so many complications every time xD … is easier for me to write an specific topic for week, a free post is so ambiguous! But well, after 30 minutes of indecision I found the perfect topic for this occasion: The Exploding Head Syndrome!

If you have never saw or listened about this disease don´t feel ignorance or anything like that. The only reason because I know about it is because one night the last years I had a lot of free time and I found it by chance. The stranger here is what I’ve suffered that illness, but I didn´t know the name. The exploding head syndrome consist in a very peculiar disease characterized by events of loud sounds like bangs in the head of the subject, very similar to a bomb exploding; and these take place during the sleep stage or during the transition from waking to sleeping. That could sound so crazy and hurtful, but fortunately that don´t is a great problem because it doesn’t involve high levels of hurt or serious complications, only the fact of to wake suddenly in the night, tachycardia sometimes but that´s all. Is not a blessing to wake in the nights because an absurdly annoying noise is ringing in your head, but is not all the time. This phenomenon happens only in fatigue or heavy stress situations, or that says the related investigation, very few investigations in any case.

If you want to know about a cure for this Syndrome, well, like this disease is product of tense situations and that is the conditional for the appearance of alterations of the sleep, is recommended any activity that involves an improvement of the sleep quality, and that could include reading, relaxing music, yoga or a hot bath before bed.

See you!

 

 

Robotics;Notes!!

Hi bloggers!
Wow, I must accept I completely forgot write a post the last Friday, as I didn´t went to the class of that day. But well,  I will show you other interesting topic this week, as usually.

The future. Since I was a child, that word brings me the idea of a hyper-technologized world, with robots making our work, laser guns, flying cars and maybe some space monsters living with us… I think that crazy but very “normal” idea I had, was the product of the interaction of Hollywood with my brain. But leaving apart that future with a Jetsons-style, is the moment for talk about a nearer futuristic epoch.

In 10 years more, I think I will be (or I should be in that moment) a Geographer. A Geographer trying to do a mixture of that discipline I studied with one of my greatest passion: the Biology. A bio-geography with an animal view could be interesting. If my savings capacity allows me, I hope to live in a quiet place. I really like Santiago sometimes, but I think it is not a place for to live forever, for me at least.
But if I achieve earn so much money…well, Australia could be a priceless option :D !!!
In 10 years I will have 33 years old. I will be so old! But having that age, I hope to have my own family, with 1 or 2 children :D ! And my wife, obviously.

I will still having communication with my current friends? I hope it. An activity we want to do in the future is remember every stupid thing we did together. Those stories couldn’t be the better example for our sons, but I´m sure it worth it.

 I don´t believe that the world will experiment changes in a big scale during the next 10 years; the disappearing of little countries by reunification or the segmentation of other countries at most.  But talking about the global warming and that all, I don’t hope so many differences. Maybe another black president in USA… or in Chile, only lets your imagination fly!

Andrias Japonicus!

Hi bloggers!

How are you? I´m a little confused because I didn´t realize the teacher was in the lab when I thought he wasn’t came to the university today. Well, that was a strange way for start a Friday.

What’s the topic of this week? (Originally this week, I know that I made my last post too late xD ) Well, I’ve always been a fanatic of all the related with the nature, and above all, with the living beings. That includes trees, sponges, archaeas, dinosaurs, crustaceous, swans, jellyfishes, inclusive the protozoans! But loving them and all that, I’ve never had a pet… Maybe I had opportunities in the past for adopt one pet, but I decide share my life with one, only when I be independent, at least in my own economy.  

But thinking about the future, there are so many pets I would like to have! Sincerely I´m afraid of turn my first house into a zoo…But well, I have to choice for only one this time, so I will choice a little boy called “Giant Salamander”!

What’s a Giant Salamander strictly?  A Giant Salamander is that: an enormous salamander!

The salamanders are amphibians, although they could seem lizards, by their physical aspect. So the salamanders and the tritons too, have a skin so slimy and oily, like other amphibians.  A salamander likes the wetlands and they are found principally in Asia. As a crazy characteristic, a Salamander is capable of regenerate its limbs! :O Simply amazing guys!

But, a particular species likes to me since a lot of years ago. Is the called Giant Salamander, called of that way because it could have a length of almost 1.5 mts .!!! Only imagine that: you are resting a Saturday in the night with your friends, when suddenly, a giant Japanese lizard-but no lizard appears from the pool and all your friends scream and laugh for the senseless of the scene! Hahahahah that’s hilarious, but I love those animals! Sometimes they are unknown for the most of people and the people fear them, but they are so inoffensive, at least for a human being! So you have nothing for to worry about J  

For the last point, a curious thing about those guys is their long live: they could live at 50 years in captivity! So I believe it would be a good partner for a lot of years J

See you

Awww!!

Somebody said buffet?

Hi bloggers!

I must accept my fault. Today is Thursday and I haven’t seen the blog. What’s the reason? I don´t know exactly, but it must be by the habit of enter to the blog only the Friday during the class xD
Well, leaving aside the pretexts, I will introduce you a topic related with good memories and very tasty memories too.  It’s about a special meal.

I was thinking, and there are many meals I remember for one or another reason. But one of the funniest was when I was 17 years old. It was during the high school, and my classmates and I were visiting an exposition called “Bodies: The Exhibition” in Las Condes, specify next to “Parque Arauco”. That exhibition had preserved human bodies dissected to display bodily systems. And well, after that beautiful experience (For me at least, since I always have been a fanatic of the biology), we made a journey searching a good place where we could have a memorable lunch. So we found a well-known restaurant called Gatsby, and when we saw a little discount in the price of the bigger buffet in the restaurant, immediately we decided for that place. All what you can eat for only $7.000 Chilean pesos! Hahahah that was wonderful! We ate the enormous and diverse list of food that the restaurant employees offered to us. We are so excited and fascinated! Joking and eating as if the world were to end.

I love the sea products, and I remember that I ate salmon in industrial quantities! At the point what I didn’t eat a dessert, because it wasn’t necessary. But the great variety of desserts was awesome!
Sometimes I think I could have exterminated some salmon species that day…
Resuming, that's a good memory of my school days, a this is a little representation of how a simple activity like a lunch could turn into a good story with the necessary components: friends + smoked salmon :)

See you!

The Paradise!

Shells and Memories!

Hi bloggers! How are you? I´m tired, but I don´t know the reason xD Until today my week have not been so bad. I remember the reason! Today is Friday! And I don´t have many ideas for to write. But let’s do in anyway.

What’s the topic of today? In this opportunity I will talk you about a curious thing. I don´t remember so good the time when it happened, but I estimate I should happen when I had 9 or 10 years old.  My family (my mother, my father and my little brother) and I traveled to the seventh region of Chile, particularly to the coastal city called “Constitucion”. The amazing of the trip was what we didn´t visit that place during the summer, like a normal family do; enjoying the perfect mixture created by the water, the sand and the sun. In fact, we made a trip in the winter, specifically on July of that year that I don´t remember. Yeah, our adventure was marked by the rain, a bit of cold and the strong wind. Personally I liked that journey so much, because I love the winter and the rain fascinate to me. I believe what my mother didn´t like it, since she is not too attached to the cold seasons.  

Talking about what I did in that place, I must be honest: I have mental blocks about since that happened a lot of years ago. But I remember one thing in particular.

One time my brother and I went to the nearest beach while a strong downpour was fallen, and we saw an extraordinary event: in the sand were a lot of exoskeletons of crustaceous and shells of mollusks!  I remember the image so good: the entire sand cover with those leftovers. I didn´t realize the impact of the tides or the waves or anything like that. The only was a beautiful memory about how the nature operates.  

That spectacle teaches me a hidden part of the coastal zones that we can´t see if we visited that places in the summer only :)

See you!

 

Just imagine something like that, but with rain :D
