BLOG 5: A PHOTOGRAPH

I do not really like the photos, my parents always tell me that I must smile in our photos, it is very annoying. On the other hand I do not have a critical opinion when I see one of these, but I searched the internet for something that would call my attention.

I found this photo, titled "Lucky Strike", was taken by the professional American photographer Greg McCown on Saturday, August 8, 2015, in Tucson, state of Arizona. He said in an interview that it was very difficult to capture this moment, it took him more than seven years. For me it would be very difficult to be a professional photographer, it requires a lot of precision and work, I really admire his works. 

I like the photo because is about a rainbow and a ray together, it is something really incredible, since people think that they are characteristics of opposite climates, like the winter and his storms and summer and his rainbows after rain.

BLOG 4: FAVOURITE MUSICIAN

I am the type of person who is listening to music all the time, it has become a habit, but  the kind of music that I listen to depends on my mood of the day.

Anyway I like so much R & B music, it's a mix between jazz, gospel and blues, and it is  a very relaxing and addictive rhythm.

One of my favorite musicians is Bruno Mars, is an American singer and his real name is Peter Gene Hernandez, was born on October 1985 in Hawaii. The first song that I heard of him is The Lazy Song, in 2011 it sounded everywhere.

In general, I like him because he has interesting music videos, he always dancing and have a smooth and sexy voice.

My favorite album, is "24 Magic", and I recommend listening to "Versace On The Floor", it's my favorite song of Bruno, below I leave the link

BLOG 3: MY FAVOURITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY

This is difficult to answer because nowadays exist many kinds of technology but I have two favourites, my cell phone and my earphones. 

When I was 9 years, my parents gave me my first cellphone, it was a Nokia, it was like a brick but smaller, I was fascinating and  I always played  snake and bounce ball game, and the most important was that I could kept in contact with my parents, let them know that I had arrived at school or at home. I remember that my classmates passed me music through the infrared -

Nowadays I have a more modern cell phone with touch screen and many apps, my favourites are Spotify, Whatsapp and Instagram because I can texting with other people,  post pictures, watch videos and play Clash Royale . By the way I use spotify in my cell phone everyday and in every free time that I have, really love to do this, I put my earphones and a playlist, it is like my own world.

BLOG 2: WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS CAREER?

When I was a child my parents always talked about when we went out showed and talked to me about the differents jobs that I could do, also the professions of them, my father is a mechanical engineer and my mother auditor accountant. I remember that my first job when I was five I helped to my father passed him the tools he needed for the cars. 

Over the time in the school, when arrieved at home I watched in the TV medical and criminal series like CSI, Grey's Anatomy,Breaking Bad, I felt curiosity about the surgeries and experiments, it was amazing so I did summer courses of anatomy and chemestry at Universidad de Chile.

When I finished the highschool I did not a clear idea to what to do, so I looked for opinions about the two careers that I found more interesting, medicine and chemestry and farmacy, finally I decided for chemestry and farmacy, because I like the laboraty and this  profession have a many places to work.. So I go into the USACH to study, I had practice laboratory and was as interesting as I had imagined, in that moment I thought "This is what I want for me in the future", also I had Italian, it was a new expericience in language  and I love it. However in the middle of the year , I did not comfortable in the university , I talked with my parents and they supported me to changed the university. Now I am at Universidad de Chile.

In the future I want to work in a hospital, in the intensive care unit. I like to have contact with the persons and I want to help them with their health.

Since I was child, I wanted to study something related with health. When I received my results of the PSU, I didn't know what to do, so I got into Chemestry and Farmacy at USACH, I completed my first year but I didn't feel comfortable so I changed the university and this year I got into the same career but at Universidad de Chile.

Personal Information

Hi...my name is Dariana Quintanilla and I introduce myself in the next blog.

I was born in Frutillar in the south of Chile on November 6th, 1999. It is a beautiful and insteresting place but now I live in Santiago, specifically in the center, near of Almagro Park with my parents, my little brother and my pet. 

Actually I study Chemestry and Farmacy at Universidad de Chile. I chose this career because I want to help people with their health but not directly like a doctor and I love working in a laboratory.

When I arrive at my home after class, I usually study and then I go to the park with my dog, her name is Milica, I called her like that because I found her in a military center in Puerto Aysen. But when it's cold or rainy I stay in home and watch series in Netflix. I like the series about the life in a hospital or documentaries of Egyptian eras.

Always in my freetime I like to listen to music, I don't have a favourite kind of music, I just put a playlist on Spotify while I see photos on Instagram.
