Online Hobbies... (Y)
Hi everybody today I will talk you about the hobbies, which I think that are an important thing in every person’s life, because it allows you to get a lot of fun, and to develop some unique skills, and also to meet people, and I say this because when I wasn’t in the university yet, I used to play online games, like “Medal of Honor Allied Assault” and “Gunz” both games about guns and war, but well, when I played them it was like a nice releasing of the stress when I shoot the other person’s characters that were playing the game at the same time. During my time playing this games I met a lot of people from different parts of our country, mainly from here Santiago, but also from Concepción, Viña del Mar and obviously that from Rancagua my beautiful city. I think that I started playing online game since I had sixteen years, because a friend talked to me about this games and then I want it to play and see how was this online experience like. Well, I think that the main skill I develop was to increase my reflects and my response speed, which I think is very useful for example to drive a car, because you need to be alert during the driving, and even more if you’re driving in Santiago. And well even if this games are online and you are not able to physically share with other persons you can make a lot of nice online friends, and then to have the chance to meet them somewhere to eat or drink something sometime just as I did once with the gamers of Rancagua and it’s fun because when you listen to them when you’re playing they sound very rude and everything but when you see them in person there are very normal persons with the same interests that you have so I can say that it is not a thing of online play behind a computer. So well, maybe my hobby is not to healthy but, maybe this summer I start to do something more healthy like biking or running, because this year I gain a lot of weight and that is definitely not a good thing . So that’s all people I hope this last days in the university be very good for everyone and I hope nobody die of the stress. Greeting Piero!

Hi everybody! I hope you are happy because is finally Friday… but well as every Friday it is time to post a new entrance in my blog, and today I am happy to say that the topic of this day is the Holidays, which is my favourite time of the year, and I say this because Holidays is the time where you don’t have any important responsibility (academically talking), and you can sleep a lot, drink a lot of ice creams, practice some sports, swim in the pool, go to the beach, etc, etc.
And talking about places I visited let me tell you that the place that I like to visit the most is Viña del Mar, because there I can share with my father’s family who live there, and visit all the fun places that there are, like all the beaches, the parks like “Jardín Botánico” or “Quinta Vergara”, the restaurants where we used to eat typical sea food dishes like the “Cinzano” and the “Café Journal”, and also to visit historical places in the beautiful city of Valparaíso. Also this year was special because I went on holidays with my girlfriend so it was more fun than the past times where I only had to play on the beach with my little brother.
Okay everyone, and talking about the next summer holidays, let me tell you that I really don’t think to go to Viña del Mar, I mean this is my first year in Santiago, and it has been very stressing for me, I mean the people walks faster than any other place I have been, the smog is like our constant cloud in the sky, and all that so I am thinking very serious about going not to the beach but to the countryside because in my opinion is the most relaxed, silenced, and uncontaminated place I can go so, I think that it could be a nice way to clean my mind, clear my ears and obviously my lungs, and once again I would obviously like to go with my girlfriend, because this is also her first year here in Santiago, so I think that is a very necessary thing to do. And well I have some relatives in the countryside, so I could stay with them in their house in Doñihue, which is about 23 kilometers west of Rancagua, and every time that I go there I return like renovated to the city.
And in Doñihue I think that I could be able to live the life of the countryside for a couple of weeks, I mean I could feed the animals, help in the kitchen with the “cazuelas” and breath pure air obviously.
And well, that’s all for now, I hope all of you can go to the places you want to this summer, and that have a great time out of the stress of university. Greetings!

Abortions may pose risk to future babies, according to study
http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/sep/16/abortion-risk-weight-premature-study
hi everybody, today I will make a summary of a item that I found on www.guardian.co.uk , which is about the risk that womans who make an abortion runs if they try to have a baby in some other time in the future., which could born premature or with low weight.
The research had place out in Canada, where they say that maybe one of the most important reasons of the damage in the new borns is that abortions cause damage on the woman's cervix, which difficult the pregnancy process.
Dr Prakesh Shah who made the review says that womens don't have the right information to take important decissions related to pregnancy (in the case of the terminating pregnancy) and also related to abortion (in the case of the methods that they use to literally extract the baby), so womens need to have all the information they could so they can take an informed choice.
Another thing that Dr. Shah hopes is that the results of his study don't be misrepresented by anti-abotion groups, considering that he propose that womens need to get information about how to do the abortion.
And that's why The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists says that womans need to be really supported on their choices, because after all the abortion is now an important topic in womens healthcare.
They found that womens who already had abortions are in a 72% increased risk for low birth weight and 93% for prematurity. There was no increased risk that the baby would be small for gestational age.
In the other hand abortions now, could have safer ways to be done but, anyway the womens that suffer this tend to be unmarried, young and from socio-economically disadvantaged groups, the paper notes, but the researchers believe they have allowed for this in their calculations.
Finally this study doesn't mean that womes if they already had an abortion they couldn't have any more babys but, and to finish i would like to quote the words of the Dr. : "The effect has to be balanced against the serious effects of forcing women to continue with unwanted pregnancies," he said. "Any medical procedure is likely to have side-effects."
Ok, that's all, see you people!

Something about sports...
Hi everybody! I hope your yesterday’s celebrations were great, I mean all over the country, the people was really happy because of the achievement of the national soccer team, and talking about soccer, today I will talk about sports, first of all, I have to say that I don’t practice any sport, I think that is because of the University that I don’t have enough time to practice some sport, but well when I travel to Machalí on the weekends, I ride my bike to visit my relatives in Rancagua. Well, sports I think that are important for all the people in a country, because that decrease the levels of fat people who are in risk of getting a heart attack, getting diabetes, etc. And to encourage people to practice sports I would try to make some contests so people can set their goals, in the loss of weight for example, and if they get to the goal, the receive some kind of recognition. Also, I have to say that in the future, according to all the technology related with sports I think that people will make more physical exercise with less effort, so I think that it will be very comfortable to practice even the difficult sports like swimming and rugby for example. And for finish let me tell you that I don’t think that the talent in sports is a genetics thing, because if you think that you can do it, you will be able to do it, it is just about the passion that you have and the goals that you set for yourself. And well, let me promise to all the class that in summer I will practice as many sports as I could, so I can bring back my old body shape. See you and have a good week.
