Blog 2- Healthcare system

 Hello everyone! 

It is saturday's night and i'm writting this post, i hope that whoever reads this is doing something better. 

The teacher in her blog, tell us something very personal about her father. I had many shared feelings because in this moment my sister is waiting for the resoults of a biopsy she had to do. Is very likely she has cancer and it's really hard to believe or imagine it cause she is just 24 years. When people talk about cancers and health disease or whatever related to sickness, we tend to believe this kind of things do not happens to young people. 

I think the uncertainy and the waiting for results is one of the most terrible parts. The hope and wishes for everything goes well is a double-edged sword. We still trust the resoults can be positive for her but nobody knows, anything. We just have to wait. 

Talking about waiting. It is bleak. People wait for resoults, people wait for availability of critical beds, for respirators. People wait to be trated, people wait for hours with specialists. People die waiting. More people than we can imagine die waiting. I honestly think, that is one of the most unacceptable situations that chileans lives. 

Politicians probably never know how does it feel the eternal waiting. Probably they loose familiars for cancer or health disease, but they don't know how it feels your families never receive a dignifie health treatment. I don'y wish for anyone to go through this. I will never do, but i would love that someone, someday, take actions on behalf of well common.

    It's so sad to think in the unfair health system, even more when we are depending on it today. I really hope your sister's result is good and you can be all a little more calm.

MY FAVORITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY

Definitely my phone it's part of me now.  When I was 9 my parents given me my first phone. They both work all day and they have been looking a way to comunicate with me; a basic phone was the solution.  At the beginning I used my cellphone just to call or text my parents. Now, my cellphone it's part of me; I use it all day for everything; if I need to call someone or if I want to take a picture, listen music at the bus, to write a friend who lives at the other side or the world, to make my homework, send a e-mail; in many different moments of my day.  I like it because it's really easy for me use it, I love the size, and definitely I love the camera of my phone. Take pictures it's something that I really like to do and when I'm without my camera, my cellphone it's a good alternative. Spite I really like my cellphone I think that a live without it it's definitely better. You ain't worry about the time, the ringtone noice. For me, a phone it&#

Circus

When I was 16 I met the circus world. In my first blog I mentioned you about one of my favorite activities; aerial silks.  When I started to practice aerial silks it was only a hobby, something irrelevant in my life. I thought I can live without training. Now I feel empty when I don't attend to my trainings.  Up of the silks I feel free, I haven't any worry or any fear. It’s the best therapy. At the circus I also met other disciplines like trapeze and “mano a mano” (or acroportadas) and very soon (October 10 th to 13 th ) I will attend to the “CONVE” (Chilean Convention of Circus and Street Art). I’m very excited for that! I hope learn a lot about Circus and Aerial disciplines in general. Actually I’m part of “PatioBodega Circus”, a self-management organization of the UCH students. You should try some circus discipline!

THE STORY OF A PHOTOGRAPH

I will tell you more about this picture. I took it on a sunset during my trip to Valdivia in July; there you can see the Valdivia Lake and some winter clouds. That trip was very short but I spent a really good time with my friends, we stayed at the Gabi's grandma’s house in Niebla. Those days were so tiring because we did a lot of things; it was my first time in that city so all the places we went to was a new place to me.   I like this picture because it reminds me how much relaxed I was in that moment, I was enjoying the view, the wind. Before we arrived to the “Costanera” we went to “Entrelagos”, a famous chocolate store, after that we walk to our destination. Just before this photo, some birds poop over Gabi and me, it was the grossest thing that ever happened to me, but at the same time it was really funny.
