Abortion

The last months in our country, the public opinion have been talking a lot about the abortion topic because a group of laws about this theme have been processed in our legislative chambers.
In this process we can see the way of thinking of a lot of people in Chile,a very conservative way of thinking. I think it's worrying that a lot of our political representants have this kinds of ideas, because they decide about laws creation, modification or derogation in the name of all the people of Chile.
Specifically, about the abortion, i think that women should have the right to abort if they want it. The pregnancy it's a phenomenon that happens absolutely in her bodies and for this they should decide in every situation and not only in three causals as specified the law that seeks to be aproved.
The abortion it's a very delicated topic, because it is very dangerous if it is realized without the minimun of  security for the patient, specially because it can be realized with different methods, inclusively in the privacy of the home.. For this i think that the State should guarantee the basical medical attention for the medical intervention in general, including the post intervention cares, and if the patient requires a psychological it should be guaranteed too.

A nice Subject

This semester i really enjoy studying a CFG named The ABC of modern agronomy: basic notions of agronomic management. In first place, this subject is tagged like a CFG because it is a general formation subject. You have to pass 2 of this courses in any career.
I really like this course because i learn a lot about plants. Specifically, i learn about the processes of the plants, how they live and function, how they have offspring, how the genetic acts to create different phenotypes, and how people do selective reproduction with this knowledge. This subject was imparted in FAU campus,but it consider in the activities a small trip to Antumapu campus, in the south part of Santiago. Antumapu it's very huge.There are careers related with plants and animals, like agronomy and veterinary.
When we went there, we visited the blueberry crop fields, some greenhouses dedicated to crop lettuce using a system of fertilization based on fishes and their biological waste.In last place we visited the laboratories of biological engineer, where professionals use different techniques of plant reproduction and genetic management.

Picture i like

I like taking pictures of the places i have visited, specially natural places. This is a picture that i like so much. It was taken two years ago, on summer vacations, specifically on the 19th of February 2016.  It shows me and my partner relaxing and enjoying the majesty of the nature. 

This beatiful river shore is from the Futaleufú river, between the town of Futaleufú and Argentina. We was there because we was traveling across the southpart of Chile, and also visiting some places in the other side of the Mountain, for example, Bariloche and los Antiguos.

We see a lot of beatufil landscapes, but this one in specially was very cozy and homly. There you could feel the deafening sound of the water, the song of the birds and the wind moving the thousands of trees. 

This picture was taken by Fabian, he is a friend who we met in this trip, like 3 days before the moment of the picture.

Drugs

I think that drugs consumtion are something inherent to the human condition. Humans (an even some animals) have been consuming substances for million of years for diferent reasons. For example a lot of tribes and cultures use hallucinogenic and psicoactive plants, mushrooms, cactus, roots or animals secretions for religious or spirit rituals, and generally those substances conform an important part of their lifestyles and their representations of the reality.

Nowadays, in our occidental culture, we have a double standar perception of drugs. Someones think that every thing illegal it's bad and have to be avoided. But at the same time they don't criticize or question some legal drugs, which sometimes have very negative effects, for example the alcohol, or some drugs created by the farmaceutic industry, wich sometimes heals some health issues but afect you with colateral effects.

In my opinion we should make the most of some substances, specially the natural ones, but always acting with responsability, taking care of ourselves and no perturbing the others. 

In my case usually use them to getting relax, chilling, and in some cases to know me better. 

My favorite Gadget

My favorite gadget it's my desktop computer. i like notebooks too because you can move with them to any place, but i prefer the comfort over the portability. Another adventage of desktops computers is the durability, you can have one for many years more than notebooks, and also it's a lot easier replace the obsolet parts for new ones.
i used to have desktop computers since i have 12 years. I use the computer every day i be at home because i use to listen music, and music it's a very important part of a nice day. Another thing that i really like to do in my computer it's play games and surf in the internet. Online you can learn about anything and you can know and talk with people of any country.
In the other hand, i use the computer for more boring but practical things, it its a very usefull tool to study and work.

Some Story

My name is Alfredo Pinilla I was born in 1993 in Chillán. My birthday is on  17th March. I grew up in this place with my mom and my grandmother, because in those times my father used to travel a lot for working reasons. My house has a huge backyard in a semi rural place. For this reason,  i always been visited by many cats. Because of that i'm used to have cats, and i really love them. 

I went to a unique school in all my scholar stage. After that i moved to Santiago to study Law in a really weird and despicable university. I bear this situation for two and a half years before leaving this institution. i was sorely disappointed by the law world, but i always have been interested in the humanistic area, consequently i took some time to think about my future and i decided to study Sociology in this university. It has been three and a half years since i started study here.

here in Santiago i used to live with my father and her girlfriend, but for continuous coexistence problems i decided to move out. Nowadays i'm living just with my two lovely cats Banghi and Ratona.

Banghi and Ratona loving each other.

I Like this photography because it represent the hugeness of the universe. Whe can see  just a little part of our galaxy on it, and even that this picture contains more kilometers, planets and unknow things that we can imagine.
