My future

When I was a little girl, I thought that in the future I could be a chef, astronaut or actress. In this time the future didn't important for me.  

Later, I didn´t want to grow old. I didn't know what wanted to do with my life. I felt that everything was moving very fast, the school, the years, my life.  

When I was 17 years old, I began to think about the future, what I liked and what I wanted. 

Today I study pharmacy, and I hope to work like a pharmaceutic, I would like work in different places like laboratory, hospital or pharmacy, also work in other countries, like France, Denmark or Holland.  

After to work of this form I would like go to live to a little village in the countryside in centre south of Chile and in this place put my pharmacy, but not a simple and common pharmacy, I really want, someday, have my pharma-mobile and I would go to remote villages without pharmacy to bring them medicines. 

My mom say me that I have the same dream that her mother, my grandmother wanted be a "meica" and give natural medicines to people, she wanted buy a 2CV (citroneta) and go through the countryside's villages. 

I also hope to start a family, married and have children. However I most want is to be happy, today and always.

Digress about music

Have you thought your life would be without music? I think my life wouldn't be the same, when I wake up, turn on my radio and the music gives me the energy to start the day, during the work day I hear music in different moments, while study, eat, do chores or take a nap; even sometimes I like listen music for sleep, when I can´t sleep or my neighbours have a party. 

Is not easy for me to say what kind of music I like, because my likes are really varied, since songs of Disney's movies until heavy metal. I am not a fanatic of a band or singer, I have artists and songs favourites, one of my favourite bands are "Los Bunkers", a Chilean rock band. I like the majorities of their songs, my favourites are Nada nuevo bajo el sol and Canción para mañana. I would have liked to attend one of his concerts but now is not possible, because nowadays the band is splitted.  And exist songs that I prefer for specific moments, for example when I do chores I like listen heartrending songs in Spanish like Mon Laferte's songs or Jesse&Joy's songs, and I sing with all my might. When I study, like me listen instrumental music by VSC (vitamin string quartet). And when I travel with my parents listen songs of 80's and 90's, glam rock and latin pop rock.

I really like the sound of transverse flute, I would like learn play it someday or other instrument. My boyfriend always try to teach me to play guitar or bass, but that´s not mine; he have a death metal band and his songs are amazing for me but I prefer and I love when he plays his guitar or piano for me, is really romantic. 

In short, I can not live without music.

Music in the brain

Perhaps one of the most common things people do is listen to music, everyone has their preferences to choose a musical genre and the time to listen to one or another song, to accompany rainy afternoon, dinner with someone special or disconnect from reality . The music manages to complement our days and become our soundtracks like in the movies.

Have you thought about why you prefer some songs over others? Why sometimes the music you produce feelings? What happens in your brain when sound waves enter you for your ears?

Music is used to regulate mood and arousal in everyday life and to promote physical and psychological health and well-being in clinical settings. However, scientific inquiry into the neurochemical effects of music is still in its infancy.

The music is considered among the elements that cause more pleasure in life, this occurs by the release of dopamine, a neurohormone released by the hypothalamus and is related to pleasure, similar to what occurred with food, sex and drugs effect. This neurohormone produced stimuli dependent limbic system of the brain that manage physiological responses to emotional stimuli, particularly the nucleus accumbens. The brain related to emotions music of our memories, in less than a second.

It is amazing how our brain works all the time, and reacts with everything we do, music is just one example of thousands.
