Post 7: Astronomy

Hi astrobloggers, today I`m going to talk about Astronomy. I don't have much to say about it, I have not read some book about it and I don´t understand so much about stars, planets, supernovas, nebula, cosmic matter and these atronomics things. However, I think that all that I have learned was by movies or short cientifics news. 

So, I am going to introduce this post with a little description about Astronomy: "Astronomy is the study of the sun, moon, stars, planets, comets, gas, galaxies, gas, dust and other non-Earthly bodies and phenomena. In curriculum for K-4 students, NASA defines astronomy as simple the study of stars, planets and space."

When I was a teenager, I confused Astronomy with Astrology because I thinked that greek ending "-ology" was only used to describe science like Biology, Sociology, Geology, etc., but a good teacher taught me that it isn`t true and I learned that Astronomy is the real science and Astrology is not a science and is not having anything to do with Astronomy. 

I only know one astronomic thing: the sky in the north of Chile is the best to see planets, starts, comets and any others kind of things. I have read something about The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (people say it ALMA). It is a revolutionary instrument in its scientific concept, its engineering design, and its organization as a global scientific endeavor. There is in Atacama desert at an altitude of 5000 meters above sea level... I think that it is a great invention and a piece of master technology that could help us to discover our cosmic origins!!!!

So, what do you know about Astronomy ? 

Post 6: Postgraduate Studies

Hello people! We start a new week, how are you ? I´m so tired because I didn´t sleep a lot. Well, now I will talking about postgraduate studies, yo now, I´m undergraduate student but in three years later I will be a forester.

I like study and learn about different topics related to my career and environment. I think that postgraduate studies are a good option for me because I could learn so much and acquire some skills that I need. I want to do it in another country because I want to know different cultures and different points of view about problems of the world. I don´t know what postgraduate study I will to do, it´s very difficult to me choose one and now I only study my subjects but I have seen some differents kind of masters (MSc) like "MSc in Human Ecology - Culture, Power and Sustainability" in Lund University (Sweden) or "Master Biomass and Waste for Energy and Materials (BiWEM)" in Ecole Des Mines D’Albi-Carmaux (France) or "Master Environmental Sciences" in Wageningen University (Holand) or "Master’s Degree Programme in Multidisciplinary Studies on Urban Environmental Issues (MURE)" in University of Helsinki (Finlad)... you can see that I like different areas.

I would like study a postgraduate by blended system or part-time course, but I´m very flexible and I don´t have problem with the programm. Sometimes I think about a PhD degree but maybe it could be so difficult to do because you need more experience and theory on your mind.

And you? what do you think? 

Post 5: My future job!

Ok bloggers, I am not really sure about my future job, I don´t know many things about my future, it´s a difficult question to me :S...but I think that I would like to work outdoors and I would like to travel a lot in my job, these ideas exciting me. I don´t want to have family or sons, so I think that I could travel a lot without responsibilities and pressures.

I think that my future job could be in a uncomfortable environments or places in danger with over-exploitation, poor human populations, several political and social problems and loss of biodiversity. These places could be in Chile or in the other unknow countries in middle or near east, Central Asia, Central America, Africa, I don´t know...The world has many countries that needs help. I prefer work in environmental jobs because I like it and I think that I could provide asistance, but also I could be work in others jobs if it will be necessary.    

Currently, I think it, but maybe in three years later I would like to work in another think and I would like others kind of jobs. My future is uncertain. In my present I only study a lot and live the life. 

And you? What do you think about your future? 

Post 4: Huerquehue´s National Park

Hi bloggers. How are you? How was your week? I´m very fine. Today I would talking about Huerquehue´s National Park. In mapudungun it´s means "place of messengers". This is a public park of SNASPE state system.

This National Park is located in the foothills of Andes Mountain, in La Araucanía region, near to Pucon, in the south of Chile. Huerquehue park has 12.500 hectares and has a elevation range of 720 to 2.000 meters above sea level. You can see that it´s a steep park. The Huerquehue´s forest are "Valdivian temperate rainforest" and you can see different species like "araucaria", "coigüe" and "lenga". Hurquehue´s fauna is very beautiful, you can see "pudus", "pumas", "ranita de Darwin", "condores" and "monitos del monte".     

In the top of the park you can see differents lakes, the most popular are: Lago Chico, Lago Verde, Lago Toro, Lago Tinquilco, Lago Huerquehue and Lago Los Patos, Laguna Seca, Laguna Pehuén, Laguna Los Cóndores, Laguna El Sacrificio, Laguna Las Mercedes and Laguna las Mellizas. 

I have been visited this park once upon the time and I really liked it. I felt a magic atmosphere I want to visit it again. If you like nature, peace and hiking I recommend you Huerquehue´s National Park.

  

Post 3: Films and films

Hello people of internet. I want to talk about films. I really like films, series, documentaries, mockumentaries and many others kind of audiovisual expression.
I would like to have a lot of free time to see a lot of films in my house, or in the cinema or any place.

I see very different kinds of films, I have not a favorite type of films but I really dislike romantic films and comercial films (you know, Hollywood films). Usually, romantic films are a comercial creation... I hate these with all of my ice heart.    

Currently I discovered a good greek director, he is Yorgos Lanthimos. I´ve seen three films of this director: Canino, Alps and The Lobster, and one movie that he produce: Attenberg. All these movies are very stranger if you analize psychology´s characters and routine´s movie. Alps was the first movie that I saw, and after that I felt very confused... I didn´t understand nothing, but I liked the idea of director.

I think that these films and other greek films like Miss Violence, reflect the social caos in Greece before, during and after the recession in the last 20 years. Probably, these movies can be a global representation of occidental society in a near future if economic system destroys the social structure :o

I let you a trailer!!

Post 2: Holidays

Hello my dears bloggers! I don`t have favorite or best holiday because I think that all holidays are a good option for relax, rest and do anything else or any activity with friends, family or funny people... it is right and necessary, I love holidays.  

Well, when I finish the semester,  I generally  I travel to my grandmother's house in the south of Chile, and I stay there for one month or more if I can. It's a very beautiful country near Carahue, a small town in La Araucanía region. The  Imperial river flows  along one side whereas on the other you can see the Coastal Mountain. All the area has plants and trees; the landscape has a powerful green color and you can see farmers working on the hillside. It's so quiet and peaceful. If you can going there sometime (in your life), you will understand what I mean. I really like that place; it's so nice!

Carahue is a good place but I want to visit any other places in Chile and the rest of the world (alone or with few group of people). I am a young man and I can support unfavourable situations (I think :o), it is fun and a real experience of life that can teach me a lot.

And what about you? 

Post 1: A country I'd like to visit

Hi bloggers, I´ve always wanted to travel around the world, it idea motivate me so much. I want to travel and know different places, countries and know landscapes and people of the other cultures. Food, people, colors, animals, cultures and many other interesting things are very exciting for me.

If I have the chance of travelling, I think that Bhutan ("Kingdom of Bhutan") would be a special country to visit. It is a small country in the Eastern Himalayas in South Asia. It´s very quiet and peaceful place. The bhutaneses, people that live in Buthan, are friendly and humble people. Bhutan population is so small, only has 770.000 people!!! State religion is Buddhism but many people are followers of Hinduism. Their economy isn´t based on GDP (or PIB in spanish), they have their own economy index, it´s "Gross National Happiness" (GNH) a holistic concept.

Bhutan have a lot of biodiversity and  according to the Swiss-based International Union for Conservation of Nature (UICN), Bhutan is viewed as a model for proactive conservation initiatives. The country have forest, mountains (Himalayas) and many national parks, reserves or protected areas... I´ve seen some pictures and I think that it´s a great place to visit ;).
