The "wuacatela" photo...

For me this is the most amazing photo about what people feel when they don´t like something :)
I don´t remember who took this picture because this was taken when my girlfriend and I were still in school, but probably my father took it because the camera belongs to him (and he is like a boy with candies xD) Furthermore my mother is in the picture too, so I think my father was the photographer.

The day when this photo was taken, it was a special day. We were in National Holidays (but not for this it was a special day) and my family and me always go to "fondas" in Peñaflor (Rockaflower xD) in this date, but that year something changed... I rang my girlfriend and invited her to go with us, and she said: "ok",  but the important thing was that my girlfriend never went to a "Fonda" before :) so she was very nervous while we were going to there.

We spent a great moment and we did a lot of thing like eating "empanadas" and "churros", we played funny and difficult games such as target shooting, hopscotch, taca-taca and we saw a lot of animals for example hens with their chiks, horses and ponies, and dogs which wanted to take the meal from people (specially drunk people).

After we played we went to a "stand" and bought two "anticuchos". Everything was fine until we began to eat it, because the meat wasn´t cooked at all, but the worst part in this love story (L) was when we started to think that perhaps the meat wasn´t from a cow, it was more similar to dog´s meat... :( I really didn´t mind but to my girlfriend this scene made her feel sick, and that´s why he had that face in the pciture :D

I like this picture because it reflects the real sensation that we had in that funny moment and moreover everytime when I see this picture I can´t stop to think how lovely my girlfriend looked with that woolen dress :$

Strops

For me Sports are something necessary to save our short life, but only because with some kinds of sports (any sport in fact) we can decrease the levels of diseases related to heart or brain. I think that sports are really important to people for knowing other people and this is very important to the evolution of the brain and mind as when we visit a lot of places or countries because we see and know diferents realities.
Furthermore with the sports we can de-stress and help each other to be more happy in life but when we win xD
I  always get bored and tired when I see the matches of any sports on TV but when Colo-Colo (the greatest football team ever) is playing for me is another thing, but now they are loosing all the time, and that´s bad.
But in another side I love to play sports, every sports from football to basketball and from atletism to swimming, however I think I like the sports when I have a lot of contact more than others, because sometimes I can hit people or better than that I can fight with people like martial arts.
My life like a sportsman began when I was in the school and I entered the Atletism Team, I had a lot of qualities for the sport but I didnt want to run, run and run, so I changed to the Voleiball Team and I was very important in the team in spite of this we never won a match :(

In a paralel existence I belong to a taekwondo team near my house (30 minutes from my house) and there I learned a lot of things not only about the sports, others things like respet, honor, friendship, etc. and I think for me it was very important. I remember I always had to fight with my brother and we created a spectacular fight, sometimes he was the winner and other times I was (I think most of the fights it was me the winner :)), and the best of all were the tournaments and the posibilities to kick the ass of other persons, we did martials arts forms and use martial arts weapons like "nunchaku". And the saddest day of my life came to me 4 years ago when I, for a rare reason, began to loose my force and mobility of my fingers (the smallest first) then my hand, and to finish my arm, in the beginning it was my left arm but then I began to have problems in the other arm, so I went to see the doctor (neurosurgeon) and he told me I have a congenital disease that increases for the kind of the sports I played. I had to operate my elbow and from that moment I had to (I needed to) renounce the throne.
And so it was I found the magic of eating :D
Last year with help of my girlfriend (a fundamental pillar in my life) I returned to the sport life and entered the basketball team, and today I go to the swiming pool everytime I can, but there are some types of exercises that I can't do like the "lizards" or some exercises with weight.

My Notebook :)

My favourite piece of tecnhology is my Notebook!. It is one of my very important possesion that I have, I think without it my life as student, boyfriend and musician would be altered, because I always have to see my digital classroom (u-cursos) to study, download class, notes and a lot of information about the different subjects. Furthermore I can talk with my girlfriend while I am watching Tv, studying or eating, and when I want to learn some songs or melodies I can search it on the net, and for me this is a real help because some scores are very expensive.
This amazing object got to my hands as a Birthday and Christmas gift (and I had to take out some money from the bank), and my parents gave me this when I entered university because I needed it to program in a subject, and besides my future notebook would help me in my studies.
I use it everyday, whenever I can, and the first thing that I do when I turn it on is log in to the internet and check my u-cursos, hotmail and facebook (in this order), then I log out from Internet and enter again, but this time I do what I have to do.
Before I became a future Odontologist I had a lot of games like Starcraf (the best and the most important games from all the times, to me), Nosferatu (a vampire slayer´s game) and others that in this moment I can´t remember... but my girlfriend said  to me I had to desinstall it because I need concentration. But I still have installed Starcraft jejeje but I don´t use it.
I like my Notebook, it is black and it has a photo of me and my girlfriend as background. the only thing I hate is the fact that I broke the battey and to use it I always need to plug it in or stick it with scotch.
For me, my notebook has been one of the best gifts that my parents could give me.

That Metal Show!!!

This is a different kind of show in the long list about the Late or Talk Show, because this is not only a show based on interviews, it is a show about the Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Music, System and Life with the real members of the band as participants.

"TMS" is host by Eddie Trunk (periodist, music historian, radio personality), Jim Florentine (stand up comedian) and Don Jamieson (stand up comedian). The particular thing, which gives the magic to show, are the several segments and these are:

1.- Interviews with Heavy Metal musicians: in this one the trio aks, debates and talks about life, past and present and other things of the musicians or the band.

2.- The Pick of the Week, in this section this people show or talk about the last news from the differents bands like tours, concerts, books, diaries, new albums or singles, etc.
3.- Stump the Trunk, for me is the most funny and amazing part of the show, because in this time the audience ask to Eddie (that ´s why the name of this segment is Stump the Trunk ) any question about Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Music from all times :) and the best of all, if he doesn´t answer correctly or if he doesn´t know the answer the person, who asked, him has the posibility to put his hand in the Eddie´s Gifts Box and win a lot of price from albums to Rock Band Game with the Guitar :O and obviously the feeling to defeat one of the most knowners of the Music History

4.- Whatever Happened To, here Eddie Jim and Don talk about what happened with some missed bands or musicians, and they tell us about what they (musicians) are doing now
5.- Throwdown, this is a extreme segment where the hosts and guests debate great moments and figures in metal history like what band is the best Iron Maiden vs Judas Priest (in this episode they sayed that Iron Maiden is better than Judas Priest but maybe without JP, Iron Maiden would not exist)

For me this tv show is the greatest thing that men could do...

My Career-Related Website

Now I’m going to write about a real innovation from the ICBM (uchile) to the people who learn anatomy. This is a multimedia atlas with a lot of photos, and animations. But you need to be registered.

The first time I visited this website I had the final test of the subject, but I didn’t know how to use it. One year later I learned to use it and I think this is the best website ever, and the best of all, thanks to this when I have the anatomy practical test I have good marks. I visit this site constantly to study, and when I have a Test I always do all the activities.

First you have the Atlas and different options:
a) Section: photos of transverse section in different parts of the body
b) Topography: photos about the structures and related things
c) Radiology: radiology to see the clinical concepts
d) “Neuroanatomy”: for studying the neurology.

Then you can choose if you want to study the thorax, abdomen, etc. And you can also do activities which are photos with structures marked.  You have to write the name of the structure and after that you can compare answers. 

MORFO UCHILE (this is the website)

Behind My Music

Music is everything to me. I don’t have the gift of dancing but I think it´s because of that I have the gift of making music, and playing it. I am a person who has two different roads which join in perfect art in my brain…
When I was a kid, music was just music to me, some funny melodies at “jardin infantil” like mazapan or something like that. But one day, at the age of 6, in an act of bravery I changed the station of the radio and tuned in to 88.9 (Futuro Radio), from one moment to another I was petrified at the sound of the gods of music (in that moment) it was Paranoid performed by Black Sabbath with Ozzy on vocals. From that day I had a brain wash and I began to listen to Rock / Metal music.
One year later I discovered two bands that have something in common: the perfect sound. They are Iron Maiden (with Bruce on vocals) and Judas Priest (with Rob Halford) who inspired me to buy an electric guitar and learn and practice on my own.
The other part of my musical life began at school, I started to learn how to read and write music, and the best of all how to reproduce the sound with different instruments (well, in this case it was only a flute, but afterwards, others). With this new knowledge, I had the honor of meeting some of the greatest in the world of what in Spanish we call “Musica Docta”, such as the Great Johann Sebastian Bach.
The funny thing is that there are two famous guitar players who play with this different kind of music and make a rock version of the Docta music like the 5th Beethoven Symphony performed by Yngwie Malsmteen.

I Was & I Am

Hi, I´m Diego a student of Odontology at the Univesidad de Chile, but before this I was someone who had to find his own way in life. First I wanted with all my head, mind and heart to become in a neurosurgeon because one of the reasons was that I damaged two very important nerves of my arm and because of this I had to finish some sports which I played like voleyball, basketball and martial arts. However I began my university studies in the Faculty of Engineering at the same University were I study today. Then I left the career and some specific friends due to the fact that I could never work in an office. This was a very important decision, in one side I had my parents with a lot of problems and quarreling but on another side I had someone who gave me the strength to do it, that person it was (she is and she will be) my beautiful girlfriend Elita and she gave me an exit, a solution, a dream.
Now I have a lot of dreams, I have a beautiful life, a lot of joy and the best of all, I like what I am doing in this moment, I hope to finish soon to see what is waiting for me in life. And remember "if you are not part of the solution, you will always be part of the problem"
