Trips

I went to the USA in March, 2008. I traveled with Bioscan's company major. This was my first trip in an airplane (9 hours...), and it was a very funny experience, but we were in Miami airport for five hours without a little tour for the city... Next, we went to New Orleans.

In New Orleans we participated in "the Pittcon Convention", in which you can find a lot of chemical and biotechnogical companies. We work during day but we went out in the night for knowing the city. I'd like travel to the USA again, to another city. I have friends who live in San Diego, California. They have invited me for visit them next year. It could be a very good experience...

All my trips han been related to my work. I went to Concepcion in 2008 and 2009, and I worked with proffesors and students from University of Concepcion and University San Sebastian. The better of this trips are to know people (and the food!!). I'd like travel to the south of Chile again... I need vacations and Puerto Montt, Valdivia or Chiloe are very appropiated places to rest...


I'd like travel to Cuba in the future. One of my best friends is from this country, and she speaks about it, its beachs, foods and people and I think that this trip could be very fun!

It's probable that we need to travel in the future to other laboratories in other countries, such Spain, France or the USA. This trips will be really important!!

Movies

I don't know about cinema directors... The last time I went to cinema was last year... As you can see, movies are not an important part of my life, but it's not because I don't like them, but I don't have any free time... Really, I have only a few hours during the afternoon and night in which I must do other things... and if I have some free time I prefer to sleep...

At home, the last movie I saw was "Up", which is a beautiful movie about a boy and an old man who travel in a house using balloons filled with helium, and they have a lot of problems. It's a very nice movie, because it has very sad minutes, but also it has very funny parts and it gives us a message about friendship.

Last year I saw "P.D.: I love you". Like my friends told me, the movie relates a very sad, but very exciting movie about love and death... My eyes were very irritated after seeing the movie... because I cried a lot...

My son, Vicente, likes movies. I have seen movies with him like "Shrek" 1, 2 and 3, "Ice Age" 1, 2 and 3, "Cars"... As you can see, I have only seen infant movies in the last time...

Important web-sites

I think that, in this moment of my life, Pubmed is my favorite web site (if my friends read this, they say me that I need vacations...). Pubmed is a very useful web-site from U.S. National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health. In this web-site you can loock up information (cientific publications) not only about heath, but about differents areas in Biology (microbiology and virology in humans, plants and animals, for example).

You can loock up the information using key words, and the web-site give you a lot of papers. You can choice some documents (PDF) and you can download them to your computer. If the paper is not disponible in Pubmed, GOOGLE is the next favorite web-site! Some people publish their papers in their university's or laboratory's web-site, then you can access to the papers from this sites.

In the university, a professor gave us tasks about different topics. He always said us "search it in GOOGLE!!". This was our favorite sentence during our years in the university... and now I remember this sentence every time I need something (photos, papers, dictionary...).

Another important web-site in this moment is Google Translate... I need it help...

Animals

I don't like cats because they sometimes destroy the furniture in the houses. My best friend, Sandra, loves them, and she has two cats in her home, who sleep with her in her bed.

I like dogs. The last dog that we had was Niño, a little brown dog who died when I was 18 years old. From this time, we have not a dog in our house.

My grandfather has a horse. He works with the horse in his orchand. My son, Vicente, loves it and he likes give it grass. Vicente was to to the zoo in summer. His favorite animal was the lion.

I like listen birds when they sing on the trees. It's very nice to listem them and to close the eyes because it's relaxing.

I think that animals are a very good company for some people, especially when they live alone. In some building, the people cannot have animals. This is the idea in the building where I live, but some people have dogs and cats.I don't have problem with this, while they don't annoy me.

There are some people who have exotic animals in their houses, like snakes and spiders. I hate them.
