English Language Challenges

Hello folks!. Well, I'm writing this post with the purpose of telling you about my blogging experience after all this semester, I must say that I enjoy and learn a lot about this wonderful language while I did the blogs and talked with my partners. Specifically about the use of blogs I must say that they were well focused, because some blogs teach us about traveling (we must learn some terms like book a room if we want to stay in a hotel for example), a future job related with our career, and the importance of our career, so, in a nutshell, the blogs help us in a didactic way how to write correctly.


All the lessons to which I have attended improved my English with new words and expressions, but the orthography is something that I have to practice a lot, I think that I have to write more frequently, and it will be writing a book, or anything else, I'm not sure about what to do.



All this knowledge of English will be useful when I have to read some scientific articles that help me to do my thesis, or when I'll go to another country like Canada, united kingdom, or united estates for example. Actually I'm not using English because I live in Chile, a Spanish language country, so, right now I'm not practicing the English in any form either written or orally.



Compiling all this knowledge of this language thanks to the classes of English that I had I'm sure that I'll go travel some countries like Canada or united estates for tourism and get a future work.

Problems and what you did to solve them

Animals, a lot of people love animals. In my case, with my girlfriend we have ten animals (three cats, two hamsters, one mouse, two turtles, and two dogs)  all of them are wonderful, they're so cute and we play with them everyday, so, the problem is that the animals must do their necessities and we have to clean it. every time that I have to clean the turtles' filter  or the cages of the hamsters and the mouse
I feel very rumpled  because I know that after that I will be exhausted, at least the dogs and the cats do their own in the backyard, so that's something positive. the most of the time my girlfriend help me to clean the filter or the cages of the animals so, that's another positive thing.
well, to clean the turtles filter I just replace all the things(active carbon, sponges) that I use with a new clean stuff, washing the filter, the hoses of the filter and the pool of the turtles previously.


the pool of my turtles                     one of my turtles                       the external filter that we have to                                                                                                               clean



the next thing is clean the cages of the hamsters and the mouse:
The method the same in each cage, The food deposits and their water bottle are removed from each cage, and then the cage and the wheels where they do exercise are washed, after that, we dry the cages and the wheels with a towel and put everything that they need (shavings of paper, food, water bottle).

In a nutshell every month I have to solve this problems. but Is compensated with the love that my pets give me.

postgraduate studies

Well, if I would like to take a post grade course in the future, I think that a master in clinical biochemistry would be the most possible option, because, a job in clinical biochemistry is like a 9-to-5-job, in these kinds of job you receive a sample of a person and you must analyze any problem that you can see (Putting part of the sample in different tests to see if there is any abnormality). Luckily this master can be taken in the university of Chile and there is also a discount for the students of our faculty (around 60 to 100% of the total cost), so, I will surely go to study this in a future. The system of the master in clinical biochemistry in the university of Chile is an elective part-time course (face-to-face) that in my opinion is the most effective course. It would be that they think twice, because the postgraduate studies only serve for specific areas of some labors field, and depending on what you want to work, may or may not serve you something, for example, you will not have a postgraduate study based In toxicology if you graduated as a graphic designer, in addition you have to take into account the price to study those postgraduate courses, there are courses that cost 180000 pounds (1500000 Chilean pesos) per year, and last but not least, you must have the motivation to study that postgraduate course, if you are not interested, then: what is it going to serve you ?. Therefore, my advice is that, as I said earlier, think twice, reflect on this decision, and do not regret.

My Future Job

I will always love to have a 9-to-5-job because they are more stables in my point of view. Since I met my girlfriend, I realise that she will become my future wife, so, that make me think, if I want to have a family, is necessary a stable-well paid job to keep the family without the worries of unemployment, debts, etc. 
so, if I imagine a job, it surely will be a job in a industry of aliments or drugs, even it can be a job about mining(that is a well job in a country like Chile, which has large industries in the field of mining), indoors obviously, near my home (half an hour of distance),because I want to spend a lot of time with my family. Rarely we will travel, only for conventions about aliment(drugs or mining) industries to learn more and apply some ideas to our company, so, I guess that will be like 3 or 8 days for year if it's to far,obviously I won't be in that conventions all the years, another person can replace me, so, in a nutshell I won't travel a lot.
the salary is the most important, because, this job must be well paid so I can satisfy the needs of my family, around 1500 bucks minimum it's enough for my and two persons more (my wife and a children)
 I'm studying Biochemistry, a career that has both investigation and industrial jobs, but I decided to have an industrial job because is more stable and well paid that the investigation job (in Chile, in another countries is the other way around).

An important advance in the Biochemistry

A long time ago(1800-1970), scientist of that time knew the reason for the conversion of the starch to sugars by plant extracts and saliva, but the new question is: which are the mechanism to make that possible?

The discover of the enzymes (which comes from the Greek  ενζυμον "in leaven") called before ''ferments'' by Louis Pasteur answer this questions. An enzyme is a are macro-molecular biological catalyst which it has the function of speed up chemical reactions.

many scientist contributed separately:

-Louis Pasteur  In the 19th century concluded after his studies with the fermentation of sugar to alcohol by yeast that this fermentation is produced by a vital force (called ferments by Pasteur) that accelerates this reaction.

-Anselme Payen discovered in 1833 the first enzyme who called diastase

-Wilhelm Kühne coined the term enzyme in 1878

-Eduard Buchner in 1897 began to study the ability of yeast extracts to ferment sugar despite the absence of living yeast cells.  In a series of experiments, he found that the sugar was fermented even when there were no living yeast cells in the mixture(that means that the enzymes can live outside the living cell).

-James B. Sumner in 1926 showed that the enzyme urease was a pure protein (that means that the enzymes are formed by proteins, it implies that they can be affected by temperature, pH, but, they can live outside the cell)

All this knowledge gave answers to many scientists of the time and were the first steps to creating Enzymes and use in food industries.

Well, in a nutshell al this discovers were for good, and they make the aliment industries better in the synthesis of new products.

The most sad movie that I ever seen

Hachiko, a dog's story is one of these movies that makes me cry such that you'll have to go to the bathroom at least three times to wash your face full of tears. 

A year ago I saw this movie with my girlfriend, and we both cry like babies. the history that tells you is very simple, a guy finds a dog in a train station after his work as professor, he adopts the dog (called hachiko because when the professor founds him the dog have a collar with that name) because the train station chief tell him that if he don't take the dog with him the dog will be abandoned.

After that, the dog accompany the professor to the train station every day and he waits is arrival in the night. Suddenly, the professor suffer a heart attack in the work and die, this is the sad part of the movie because hachiko waits his arrival every day. No matter what happens, no matter the weather, hachiko always stay in the front of the train station, waiting the arrival of his owner. And this fidelity touch my heart. I recommend this movie a lot.

The best Concert I ever had

 In june 30 of 2016 my girlfriend and I went to the Kamelot concert in the blondie's club. Our second concert together after the Sonata Arctica concert 1 year ago. Well we woke up early to be in the first ones in the line, and we waited about 6 hours to see them arrive in a van, and I saw all the members,Thomas Youngblood, Sean Tibbetts, Casey Grillo, Oliver Palotai and Tommy Karevik, all of them went straight to  the blondie's door to prepare the instruments for the concert. we waited like 2 hours more after we entered to the club, and an opening act awaited us, an instrumental metal band, claudio cordero's trio, played us some of their themes, and they were amazing, the synchrony of the guitar, the bass, and the drums mix in a piece of audible art. after the opening act, kamelot arrive with all his power, all of our favourites song were played in the concert, and was amazing, all the people sang with them, were very sympathetic in general because they almost always did things with the public, for example, provide the microphone to a fan to sing a fragment of his songs or give Plectrums to the people, in short the concert had everything, I enjoy it so much. (one of the songs of the claudio cordero's trio)
