I really think that having hobbies is fundamental for our life, they help us to develop our personality in different areas, like dancing, singing, painting, acting, etc. They also facilitate our interaction with others.
I personally have many hobbies, one of them is to dance. I have been in many dance classes, in 2007 I practiced flamenco, at an academy near my house. I took these classes only one semester, but I learned a lot, such as how to dance upright, to show feelings when I´m dancing to relate with others and to be concentrated to the teacher instructions.
The second half of this year I was in contemporary dance classes at my school, but I didn´t like it very much, they were a little boring. This year I´m in salsa and merengue classes in my university, today I had my salsa test, I think I did well, I have to wait for the mark.
Besides dancing I really like singing, I´ve participated in two musicals at my school and in one singing festival. I haven´t much personality to sing in public, but the experience in my school help me to have less shameand daring yo interact with the public.
I´m a big fun of theater, and this year I had the great opportunity to take classes in the university, I really enjoy it!!
Now I´m dedicated to crafts, I´m doing fabric flowers for my cousin´s marriage , the best part in that my aunt paid me for each flower that I make.
I intend to continue doing other things besides study, either dancing, singingacting,etc. I can say that to develop aour hobbies help us to develop ourselves.

holiday destinations

If someone ask me about places that I would like to go in the future...I would say to him or her that actually, I want to know every place of this giant and beautiful world!. But I must be realistic, as the sayin goes: dreaming is free.
For this summer holidays I have a big project, with a group of friends want to travel to Perú and Bolivia, both South America countries. But like I sayed before, it´s a project, we have to solve a few problems, like the minimum money we have to gather to have a pleasant trip, or select the group of people who would go, because there are many interested friends,and this type of trip wouldn´t work with a very large group of people.
I really hopes that this trip functions, the only country I know, besides mine of course, is Argentina, specifically the city of Mendoza..I want to know another places!. I want to go to Perú and Bolivia for many reasons: both are near fron Chile, so the trip will be short and cheap, I also think that the culture, including food, clothing, arts are very interesting and I really want to know Machu Pichu, an ancient Inca town in the south of Perú.
I have to say that Chile is also a beautiful country, last summer holidays I went to Chiloé, a very big island in the South. I went there with a friend and her sister, and we stayed in a beatiful wooden house of my friend´s grandmother. We went to many places, we ate typical food, sailed on a boat, and we enjoy the wonderful scenery.
I also want to go in this summer holidays to the beach with my friends. Last summer I went to Reñaca with my school´s friends, we had a great time!.
Another place that I really want to go, hopefuly soon, is Italy. Like I sayed in a past blog, my last name is from Italy : "di Girolamo", a few yars ago my father did the paperwork to acquire the nationality, so now, I´m a citizen of Italy. I also have family there, the only and big problem is that it´s very expensive to go there.
I think it´s good to have projects and dreams, how knows, mabye they come true.

Today I´m going to talk about an article taked from a website called guardian.co.uk, I searched information about my career, Obstetrics. The article that I choose it´s called " Sleeping with my baby (maybe) saved his life" , writed today by Emily Wilson.
She talks about her experience with her son Aron, he was born last year, five weeks premature.
The baby had to be a few days in the hospital becouse his condition, after this time he was able to go home with his mother. Here, the two of them shared a double bed, Aron sleeps with his head in the crook of Emily´s arm, really close each other. Becouse of this they were very connected, Emily could feel his baby and to perceive if something was wrong.
One thay Aron stops breathing, His mother immediately felt this in her dream, she woke up and hooked the baby over one shoulder, then he started breathing again.
The next day Emily took the baby to the hospital, doctors said that nothing was wrong with Aron and also they sayed to the mother that sleeping with a baby was dangerous. Emily knew that, but this time,with her second son Aron, she decided to follow her mother instinct and to heighten the precious connection with Aron.
Like Emily says, this finally is what probably saved her baby´s life.
