Future work

Image
At this time in my life, I am a little confused about what I am going to do in the future. There are so many different options and jobs that it is difficult to make a decision about what to do for the rest of the life. Probably will be something related to food, because I’m studying food engineering.  Jeje. But what I know is that I would like to have an outdoor job, and travel around the world to learn about new cultures, that would give me the opportunity to learn other ways to do my future work. I have some ideas of what I might like, but I feel that there is still much to learn to make a decision like this. But from what I have studied during these almost two years, what has most attracted my attention has been sensory evaluation . S ensory evaluation is a branch that uses all the senses to evaluate a product. As my major is in food science, this analysis is applied to new foods that are being created. Regarding the sa

nano-scavengers

In the last few years, nanotechnology has become an important technique that has been invest in so many different fields. One of them is the food industry, they even have their own name Nano-food. In this business, the nano-particles can be used in different aspects, from the beginning to the end of the process. They are used in cultivation, in production, even in packaging.  One of the most useful investigations uses nano-particles to clean the water. They introduced micro-particles, like titanium dioxide that works as cleaners. This nano-scavengers (how they are called) can destroy or adhere to the contaminant agent and make them disappear. But this technology has a problem, and is how to eliminate this nano-scavengers, cause in this condition, the water is not suitable for human consumption. Not long ago, scientists from Stanford University developed a method that eliminates all the nano-particles present in the water. With this system, they eliminated the E-Coli, a bacte

My pet friend.

I always loved cats. It’s my favourite pet. I used to have two cats a few years ago, Beno and MiniMi . The two cats came from the streets, and stayed with us for too many years. They passed away last year, almost at the same time. It was a really sad time. My mum didn’t want more cats, but I insisted, and by Christmas of 2017, we adopted a two old month black cat.  We didn’t know what name was the most appropriate, so she had a lot of names the first day. For the end of the day, we decided for Celia . Well, my dad chose the name. It’s about to celebrate the first year.  She likes to sleep at the foot of my bed. In summer, she loves sunbathe on the roof of the neighbor's house and in winter, she stay all day next to the stove. With my mum's dog are the best friend, they play all day, and they even share the water and food. My sister brought Celia from Valparaiso, so she is a foreign cat. But she gets along very well with her cats friends from

Best concert

Image
Some years ago, I enjoyed the best concert ever,  ever.  I saw One Direction, an english-irish boy band that was formed in 2010, in the tv show  the x factor . They gave two concerts at the Estadio Nacional in May 2014, but I could not buy tickets, so I was really sad. But three days before the first concert, i participated in a contest, and the day before the concert i found out that I won the contest. I was really happy, cause I had never won anything. I went with my friend Valentina, and we felt really awkward, cause we were the oldest.  Most of the fans were little girls with their parents. But we had a good time, even with all the girls screaming.  We sang all the song, and the day after we could not talk.   One of the members lefts the band after that tour, and the rest took a hiatus in 2015. I am glad that I had the opportunity to saw them before the split, but at the same time, I am  still waiting they reunites again, so I can have another extraordinary day.

A country I would like to visit... Ireland

Image
If I had the opportunity and the money, I would like to visit Ireland. Is one of the biggest islands in Europe and the country of many great artists, like Bono (U2) and Niall Horan.  But I would like to visit Ireland because of the culture and the architecture, they have a lot of good places to visit, like enchanted castles and tunnel.  I've wanted to visit  Skyrne Castle,  one of the most famous castles. It was build in the XII century and the legends say that is inhabited by ghosts. But the spirits of a woman with a white dress is the most popular. This ghost is Lilith Palmerson, a woman who was murdered in the XVIII century. You can still hear her screams.  And also I would like to visit Ireland because I like the leprechauns and I want to celebrate the Saint Patrick's day, in March.  It's a festival that lasts five days and they have a great parade.  Everything is green and they drink a lot of beer.  Apart from visiting, I would like to take the time to
