Favourite animal :D

It is so hard to pick just one animal... I will make an effort and choose one from my big list of favourite animals.
In this opportunity I will choose the imposing Chilean horse instead of my other favourite animal (zebra) because I think I have a closer relationship. Ever since I was born I felt we were related, my dad always talked me about them, about the beauty and the way they behave. I think they are so intelligent and I love their temperament.
I chose specifically the Chilean horse because they have the perfect size and beautiful endings on their legs, forehead and croup. I am able to waste my whole daytime looking at them, how they run or just how they live. I am so lucky to have 12 of them in my own back yard (only Chilean) I owe it all to my dad, he loves them too =) we share the same love.
Me and Rico Tuto

However, just one horse took my attention and love in my life, his name was “Rico Tuto” and I say was because he passed the way 4 years ago in a accident L it was a extremely hard and sad situation. My dad was riding him, he went down in a hole between 2 rocks breaking his leg L I think this is the first time I talk about him because everytime I think about it I broke on tears.
 He was light bay, a big stallion and extremely skilled. He lived his life for Chilean Rodeo, one of the best of the area and I’m proud to say that he was a Champion!

My love for these animals brought me here; these are some of the big reasons why I want to become a veterinarian. I will study them when I finish college and of course, work with them. I cannot imagine me studying something else. They are my passion!

i recommend you... CHILE

Are you visiting Chile? Canadian?, American ? German?, Chinese? Or any foreigner?
I have your solution :D! angelito`s schedule!!!!
I would advice you about the best and beautiful places of our country, but in this session I will only provide you information about the Capital of Chile....SANTIAGO
Santiago was founded by Spanish Conquistador Pedro de Valdivia on February 12th of 1541 so you will see a big influence of Spanish infraestructure but also you will see a modern side of the city not forgeting either the countryside view that you would be able to feel it through the food and wine.
• I recommend you some green areas like: San Cristobal and Santa Lucia hill, O´higgins and Padre Hurtado park where you are able to make picnic, barbecue or anything you want to do to relax yourself ( walk around, cycling, soccer, etc).
• For the bohemians! I have to recommend you “Barrio Bellavista” where the night is not enough or “La Piojera”
• Do you want to experience some extreme activities? You can visit Las Vizcachas where you can do bungee jumping or sky diving.
• Culinary activities: for the vegetarian exits the restaurant “el Huerto” located in the downtown of Providencia or “Naturista” located in the big downtown of Santiago.
For meat lovers I recommend you fancy restorants like “Giratorio”, “Eladio”, “El Parron” or for the lovers of fast food (good one) the classic “Fuente Alemana” or “Dominò”
I hope you enjoy your stand in Santiago and VIVA CHILE!.
XOXO

Death Penalty


....It is fair that someone can take your life away under consent of law?
.....Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth?
.....Would you make a difference after you do it?

These questions came to my mind making me realize how hard and controversial this topic is. Would you imaging that? Watch in front of you your husband or father or some family member dying? Watching the person who is really murdering? I can’t believe the existence of death penalty.
We are not on the 1800s anymore, people have rights and taking their life away is not the solution, we can make the difference avoiding it from the beginning… how can I explain myself… start thinking why people can deserve that, what he or she have done to deserve it to work it out so we can prevent the felony. We should go to the streets! And do something now not later when is too late. Education, respect, conscience should be on top, I know that is almost utopian but I personally believe that is the right way we can make the difference.
 However, I’m not forgetting why punishment exists, I believe on it but I think that death penalty is far away from punishment. When the society chastises you, you learn from it but when society kills you, you don’t have the chance to change.
Would you give a chance?
