MY BEST FRIEND

Hi! This time I will talk about the friendship.

I think that the life without friend is so sad! But, sometimes the persons prefer be alone that have a bad friend :/

But, how should be a good friend? For me, the qualities that a friend are be a good person, be honest, trustworthy and loyal, but the most important is be there in the good times and bad times.

All the people have friends, but for some this more difficult. For example, I don’t know if I’m a friendly person, I don’t make a lot of friends easily really. For me, talk to stranger it’s very difficult because when I approach to then I don’t know what to say and I often feel very anxious. However I have friends hahaha XD I’m not a lonely person. I think this is because I’m a good friend.

Despite of these difficult I have a Best friend. His name is Felipe and he is 20 years old. We have been friends for 8 years. I always forget it and Felipe gets angry with me hahahaha XD. I’m the worst </3

He remembers the exact day what we meet, but I don’t know.  I remember that he was friend of a classmate that lived near of my house, we were neighbours. A day he asked me if he could take a picture of me and, this was the start.

I love so much to Felipe, he is a great person. He  has been in my worst moments when  there was nobody.

With him we have experienced good times, we always go to parties together, but something that I really like is when Felipe and I talked in a park overnight. We like to look at the sky and talk about our lives.

They are wonderful times and he is a wonderful person.

Well, that's all.

See you soon.

HOW GREEN ARE YOU?

Well, I live in Santiago since that I was 6. Before, I lived in Temuco. Temuco is greener than Santiago and cleaner of pollution also. However, I become accustomed to live in Santiago, despite of pollution and that Santiago is very grey. When my cousins visited me in my home they said that they hate Santiago, they said that it’s a dirty and polluted place, because the people in Santiago don’t worry of protect to environment, in contrast in Temuco all persons protect the trees, the animals and etc. With this, I would like introduce this post that is related to looking after the environment.

How much I help to look after the environment? Really I don’t know, in fact honestly I think that I don’t make really anything. I don’t have ecological habits, I don’t recycling, I don’t support any eco-organization and not even a bike. Before I recycled paper, but my mom said that it was much garbage and I couldn’t do anymore. Also, I had a bike but for money problems I had to sell. It’s as if the world don’t wanted that I become in a Tree-hugger XD.

Really, I have seen tv programs about of looking after the environment but for any reason I haven’t done anything but I would like do it. I would like to have a bike again for go to University, but I live far away L .

I think that in Santiago should take much concern for the environment, more information and environmental policies. The environmental protect depends on each person, but it would be easier to do together.

Understanding anxiety and mental health stigma (by Pete Etchells)

The Guardian, Friday 27 September 2013, 07.00 BST .

This article is about anxiety, one of the most common types of mental health problem nowadays, notes, for example that about 9% of people in Britain meet the criteria for mixed anxiety and depression.

However, the author claims that the anxious isn’t necessarily a bad thing, says that we all feel it from time to time because the anxiety is an adaptative function that causes a state of physiological readiness to deal with any threats, since anxiety increases awareness of our surroundings.

Afterwards, he describes the pathological anxiety as one that response kicks in too often and in situations where it is not needed, rising to become in a debilitating problem.

The autor says that there is a wealth of research that is trying of understands the anxious mechanisms. He suggests that with understanding what happens when we become anxious, we might know that´s wrong in the anxiety disorders.

Mr. Etchells indicates that a new study published this week in the Journal of Neuroscience has suggested one potential contributing factor to anxiety emergence; this is about how smells are processed. The results of this study of Elizabeth Krusemark and Wen Li from the University of Wisconsin says that, the same odors that were initially rated as being neutral were rated as unpleasant after of that the participants became anxious.They also found that the anxiety produces a stronger bond in the brain, between an area involved in smell and an area involved in emotion.

Finally, the autor concludes  that understanding how anxiety works might help to destigmatise mental health issues.

My favourite Movie :D The Black Swan

Hello! Today the theme is my favorite movie.

When I watch Amélie when I was 13, I think that it will be my favorite movie forever, however when I was 18 I watch “The black swan” in my boyfriend’s house and this changed. Now, my favorite movie is clearly “The black swan”.

In The black swan, the leading actress is Natalie Portman, she is so beautiful!

In this movie she is a ballet dancer and she dreams with be the “swan queen” in the musical “The swan lake”. However her mother is more obsessed with it that she and she feel much stressed because of her pressure. The reason of this pressure is that when her mother was young she dreamed the same but she couldn't do it.

 The protagonist finally yields and she begins go crazy. She has hallucinations and because it, she commit suicide without intention stabbing herself thinking in other person. It’s the ending most dramatic that I see. It’s shocking! I like it, is so wonderful. I love dramatic stories, besides the movie is about of psychology, the protagonist is insane; is perfect for me, really.

Ahm… ah! How do you enjoy more a movie? For me it’s depends. Sometimes I prefer the cinema, for example for the terror movies, It’s really enjoy see the scared faces of the people around. Other times I prefer watch my favorite movie with my boyfriend or my friends eating potato chips or pop corn.

Well, this is the end… oooow :(

See you later!

My job like the reason of my life

Hi, today I will talk to you about my ideal job :)

When I was about 16 or 17 years, I had hard times. In this period, a psychologist helps me a lot. He, Juan Carlos, believed in me, in fact he was the only that made it. Since then, I’ve decided to my dream is be that person who can believe in the rest.

I have in mind to work in a job where I can help to many persons and can to say “Hey, I believe in you! Believe yourself! “ .

For this, my specialization is in the clinical area. My special interest is the psychosis and neurotic disorders. My ideal job should be in a place where I can work with these patients in special with schizophrenic. For can work with schizophrenic I must know much psychiatry, in general the doctors help them. Is a bit difficult get a job for this reason, but I will not surrender. The doctors think that the psychology is only for neurotics, but, whatever, I don’t care XD Anyway, I hope to get a job in some mind hospital, clinic or specialized center.

I think that to treat any mental disorder is necessary a lot of empathy, love and patience... ah! And know a lot, but keep learning day to day. I think that I have the necessary perseverance and patience for this; I wish it with all my heart.

The other aspects of getting job honestly I don’t care. More than a high salary and regardless my co-workers the most important for me will always be them, patients. However have the support of others specialist will be good.

The first semester, the first disaster... but with happy ending

It was so terrible! Remember the past semester is a big torture.  The reason is because the first semester’s courses were really very boring, so I went to University with dislike.

The courses were of professional’s cycle and I was very excited for them, but I become disappointed. The work in them was in groups and I had a lot of difficulties for that.

However  no everything was that bad, because like the courses were one of each area of psychology, I learned very much… well, of course only some, honestly only of organizational and  educational areas, ah! I learned a little of legal area, this because of the practices made.

Besides to academic, I didn’t many things. I started to work in the cinema near to my house, to 45 minutes around.  With so little time, I didn’t very happy, but my friends and my family help me a lot for relax.

Talk or write for me is very relaxing, more that run or ride a bike. I prefer the peace and silence and a few friends.

When the first semester ended, we were to Fantasilandia and for relax us we screamed a lot in the Boomerang and Raptor, the greatest rollers coaster of the attractions park J hahahaha! It’s was the best!
