About Pets, Love and Friendship

I don't remember to have a pet beacuse since I have memory I live with my mom and she never liked the animals on the house, so I can't explain it but I love animals specially the dogs, for me they are the man's best friend  and they are the best company for anyone.

It's not a picture of Fenix but is the most similar

The most of my "pets" was breed in my grandfather's home in San Antonio and I couldn't see them for long time, but there was an exeption a cat called Fenix (maybe a ridiculous name but I was a child) it was so beautiful with a grey color and black lines it used to run free in the garden and we used to play for hours runing throught the garden and climbing rocks, it was a tiny cat but so agile that had to learn to climb following the cat to play more time.

Sure it was a comfortable experience but the pet that I loved the most was a dog called Mona that lived in my father's house and it was part of the Boxer race and it was considered as one more of the family, lovely and beautiful of a brown color, white in the chest an black lines, with the time Mona turned in my best friend(animal of course), we run and play all the day long, it used to sleep close to me and in the night Mona watched to take care of me. One day ( in the father's day) we foud Mona in the sofa with  the eyes closed and it wasn't breathing the whole family cryed by months because it leave us. It was so sad I also cryed for it of course I lost a friend and the sadness filled me.

Now a days I don't have a pet, I think that I love pets because I learn a lot of the animals, the loyalty, the love, and the friendship is like no other. The only problem is the short space in the department that don't let me have a pet but if I could I won't think it twice! 

A Photograph You Like

In our favorite place is were each of us would like to be all the time, mine one is El Valle del Elqui a beautiful place in the north of Chile close to La Serena and the mountains, It's called too as "the place were the sun always shine" and because of that the people use the fields to cultivate grapes, the last time I was there was two years ago visiting my uncle in the vacations, in the road, close to my uncle's house I take out my cell phone and I took this photograph. 

Maybe it's not the most beautiful place in the world but I like it because when I see this photo it remembers me the peaceful place that El Valle del Elqui is. In the photograph a big hill can be seen and a cultivated field with grapes which are used to make wine, also it shows a characteristic thing of the place the blue cloudless sky and a very shining sun, and in the night the sky keeps cloudless and the show begins, the stars and the galaxy can be seen clearly shining at moonlight. By far my favorite photograph of the vacations in such a beautiful place because it's difficult to take a photograph in the night without lights.

About Books And Films

I don't use to read so much but there's a book that makes my day when I read it and his name is At The Mountains Of Madness, My teacher at high school made me read it, but as many of the book that the school tell us to read, we don't really read them so this was the special case. All begins with an expedition to the artic and passing the time the group arrive to giant iceberg, they found the corpse of a ancient and unknow specie that whit the time makes that every one become slowly crazy, the firts group died and in a second expedition the truth is discovered and more things happen after that but it's a long story in a short book, it's a very interesting story, unnatural creatures and civilisations, a mix between horror and thrill, I recomend it to any one who likes this kind of book, and what makes it better is that this book was writed by one of the greatest horror writers H.P.Lovecraft.

Sure it's my favourite book but I personally prefer the movies, they make you use all your senses to understand the story, the details and more is what makes me prefer them, One in special Kill Bill the two tittles are for my the greatest moves of Quentin Tarantino and the best movies ever made.

It's about a professional retired killer that takes revenge of they partners that tryed to kill her and all the story is about how she get to the leader of the gang called Bill.

I personally use to recomend it but the movie has a lot of scenes whit exeed blood and fight whit samurai swords, I use to whatch it whit my half-brother so we talk about it all the days it's very funny to have a common taste of the movie and to make it better the movie has a very great casting specially for Luci Liu  in the first movie.

Your Favourite Piece Of Technology

My favourite piece of technology is the computer because when I was a child my parents gifted me one, it was not as useful as now but at the moment to do a homework I use Encarta (app to search information) and the homework become easier, even I use it to play so many games, as I was a only child in the family it was my way to have fun.

Now in these days the computer become in one of the most useful technology pieces in the world, the most of the people have one and it can be used for a long range of things, personally I use it from study Maths, Chemystry also I like to play on-line games in the computer when I'm not training or searching information on websites and that is the reason why i like it, it helps me to relax and pass he time faster. I don't usually use the computer beacuse training, university and study from the notebooks is what I do the most of the time so I use it when I'm really bored or when there is not exams in the week but with the english class I use it often to write in my blog.

I think that the life would be really dificult whitout a computer in home, because it's an essencial tool to search information or have fun but the cellphones in these days are like a small computers and we only are using the computers to be more comfortable at the moment to search information or when the cell phone is whitout charge.

Why did you choose your career?

A few years ago, when I was a child, I always wanted to be veterinary because I feel a conection with cats, dogs, turtles and any kind of animal, but in school I became a science lover.

I liked so much to do experiments and the science was teaching me new things every year. Then, a very dificult decision come with the high school, Teacher, Medic, Veterinary, Engineer, I love all the careers but I had to choose only one of them, the things changed when my teacher of chemistry told me that in the future I could be a great scienceman if I pick a science career, so I tought that the best decision was Pharmacy, Chemistry, Aliments Engineer or Medic, all of these careers liked to me and a few days before the PSU I choose Pharmacy.

At the moment my experience at the university has been very great, my class mates are very polyte with me, make new friends is always a good experience and university is the perfect place to meet new persons. The teachers are very diferent to the high school teachers, they are more serious and the tests are more complicated. It's difficult but that is the new challenge that the uniersity represent to become at the end a great professional.The career has a large range of jobs but in my opinion the best is the drugstore job, beeing the manager in a drugstore is where I see myself in the futute but it's a long way to go.

Getting to know each other...

Hi, My name is Cristobal Carvajal, i'm the first born son of my parents. I'm a student of Pharmacy in the Universidad de Chile and this is my first year at the Fac. of Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
I'm 18 years old, i born in Santiago de Chile in Independencia, my parents are from diferents places of Chile, my mother Elsa is from San antonio (a little town close to the ocean in the middle of the country) and my father is from El Valle del Elqui wich is in the north of Chile and close to the mountains, some people call it the place of the eternal sun because the sun shines all the year,even is very weird if it rains or snow, how ever when this happen it becomes a very beautiful place.
A few moths ago i become a High level sportist in swimming and take it with the studies it's really difficult, always with my family and friend giving me the strenght to keep trying and never give up, what i always say is "Easy or hard,life is boring without challenges".
It's really boring to be the only son by 18 years, the most of the brother can grow together and share experiences having a good time, since i become a big brother i feel the responsability of take cake of my little sister (as any brother has to) and help her with any problem that she could have, grow alone was not good but be the gide and as a hero to my sister is even better.
