Drimys

My experience writing on this blog was fun, when I read the others blogs it was very entertaining, I think I became fan of several of my new friends bloggers. I think this experience is very useful so that we can learn more about English, improve our redaction, learn new words and feel more bilingual. My favorite blog was when I wrote about a photograph, at first I surfed on my Facebook reviewing several photos and then I found the perfect, one photograph in which I felt very fulfilled  and really happy with my career, plus I was with two my best friends from University: Berny and Pitu. This blog served me to know more about me, for example, what is my favorite tree? Or what is my expectation for this semester? Simple things but that sometimes I don’t stop to think them calmly.  I also met my colleagues a little more, about their tastes, their experiences and their thoughts. Really I am a very reserved person, in my social network I don’t write much about myself, but the topic

In my career besides to know about trees, is necessary to know about fauna. The birds are very important in the forest field that they have a great role for seed dispersal, and many times the birds act as pest controllers, besides they are necessary for the maintenance of the food chain. Today I am going to talk about a beautiful bird: the Chincol J It is an endemic bird of Chile, that is, this bird lives only this country and we can see it mainly in countries, hills, gardens, and plazas, and throughout most of the country, both in rural and urban areas. It is a little bird, 15 cm approximately of long, and it has very particularities characteristic: an orange neck and three black lines on its grey head, is a bird very easy to recognize and their cheeping is very pleasant to the ear. This bird is very friendly, and it doesn’t fear humans. In my courtyard always many birds arrive, thrushes, turtledove, and my loved chincoles, with my family we like feed them, and give them w

In my forest engineering career I have seen a lot tree, but until now, my favorite tree is the Canelo, his scientific name is Drimys winteri , and this an endemic and native tree of Chile and Argentina. Drimys winteri , is a sacred tree for the Mapuche people.   The wood is a light reddish color, the flowers are white and small, and the leaves are shining green and cloudy on the underside, by this last characteristic is called “the tree of the silver”. This tree is very interesting because is a transition between gymnosperms and angiosperms, two group very important in the vegetal taxonomy. Drimys winteri belongs to plants with flower (angiosperms), but in its structure it has tracheid, a particulate characteristic of gymnosperms. The Canelo has in its bark tannins, a natural protection against insect, and besides this tree has high concentration of vitamin C, even more that fruits like oranges and lemons. This tree really is unique on the world and I love it J My friends n

Today, I am go to talk about an expert on my forest field, I started studying forestry two year ago, and I have met many professionals, they have given me much knowledge, and I admire many of my teachers, but today, I chose a one of them to talk on my blog: Juan Pablo Fuentes . This expert on my forest field is my teacher since my first year at university; he has taught me subjects related to geology, soil, geomorphology, ecosystems, ecosystem processes, etc. The first semester that he was my professor, the true, I didn’t consider him an entertaining person, to fact, I got bored in his class, but in the second semester, my opinion about him completely change. I realized that he is a person who has a great knowledge. From the second semester to the present day, he has been very interactive with his students, and he converts complicated lessons in interesting and simple topics. He has shown me that thing as simple as solid, really are fragile elements. He is a great expert on my f

When our  teacher says to us that we would have that make a blogs about free topic, the first think that I have was “Pizza”. It is really cool, you can mix a lot ingredients, different kind of vegetable and fruits for example, tomatoes, corn, asparagus, mushroom, carrot, belly peppers, potatoes, celery, palm heart, pineapple, olive, etc. Ever you can include different kind of meat: kitchen, bacon, chorizo, sausage, and many more. And of course, to mix the principal ingredient: Cheese, a lot cheese. Also, you can include some dressing, in my pizza can’t miss a touch of oregano. With my friends, we go to the “Festín Romano” at least once month. This promotion consists of a kind buffeted, where you can eat all kind of pizza, but randomly. It’s very great and as well as cheap. I know that pizza isn’t healthy food, but I love it, I deceive to myself thinking that pizza contain a lot vegetables necessary for my health.  

This photograph is of my times of “mechona”, a magnificent time, where all was much simpler and beautiful. What a good times… I miss then For a subject related with botany, everybody had to make an “Herbal”, what is it? Herbal is a collection of plants dried and compressed, also includes a fact sheet, with information of the forest species, of the place where the plant was found and information of collector. With some of my friends, one day we went to “Cajón del Maipo”, we walk too much, and we arrived to the top of a mountain, where we had a spectacular view. In this photograph I’m with two of my best friends, Bernardita and Alexis, the last one was our guide, luckily we didn’t get lost. That day we did a long walk, we all fell to the ground more than once, at the end of the day, we didn’t have any plant collected, but it was a unforgettable experience.     :D 

Many times we think the life is very complicated, and is the true, but that not is the principal characteristic of the life. There is a movie titled “Life is beautiful”, and it shows us that despite the problems and difficulties, the life can be so beautiful. This movie is contextualizing in The Second World War, and the protagonist is a Jewish, he is recruited in a concentration camp with his young son. The father create a play for his son, he tells his son that they are in a concourse, the soldiers are “the bad guys” and all the boys must hide from them, and the father promise his that the prize is a tank.     The first time that I watch this movie really I love it, the plot is very emotional, and in small actions we can appreciate the father’s love. The end is simply beautiful and touching.           

The human has created many things, but there is a simple object that I love it, I'm speaking about bubble-maker, a piece that can make many bubbles, and currently there are many sizes!! Everyone has use this object sometime, it’s make with a recipient that contains a mix of water and soap, and it have a frame which is attached to the container lid, and by blowing through this frame you make the bubbles.      And why is it my object favorite? Simple, this object connects me with my childhood , when I was little I loved make bubbles with this object, and burst it. Currently my best friend has a daughter, his name is Danae and he is four years old, and really she enjoy when we play with a bubble-maker. Listen his laughs and see his happy face with something so simple is fantastic, the children can be happy without great luxuries. J        

Hi, I have already started the third semester of my forest engineering career, and the truth not with maximum energy, I think the holidays were very short xD but I'm already catching the rhythm, this semester I took five subjects and English, also two electives, Herbal and Arboretum, and I am also a laboratory assistant for freshmen, all this has been a huge load of activities, and I must invest a lot of my time, however I enjoy them. I really hope to be able to fulfill in the best way in everything that I have proposed me, to seek within me the energy that I need to continue with the better mood this semester, that I not waste any day, to learn from my teachers, from my classmates, from Myself, to grow as a student and as a professional, to approve all my subjects, to contributed to my lab girls, to continue with my good friendships that I have built in this time, and to make new ones too, why not ?, and to continue enjoying this beautiful profession J
