2014, a very good year

This year brought me a lot of good things, and no one I can establish as a "bad thing".
First of all, in January I start a relationship with my beautiful, lovely, tender and perfect girlfriend. Has been more of nine beautiful months at her side, and I just can say that I love her more every single day. The only "bad thing" is that she already finished her classes and is now in Rengo, the city where we both live, so we can only be together at the weekends :( .
One of the achievements of the year (at least by now), is that I'm not failing a single one subject! That's just for now, and I wish that keep like this forever.
The things that I want to have and to do again, is having vacations and make a trip to the beach or the south of our country. I really love doing that, but this career just consumes your life. But like a lot of mates tells me, the difficult is x2 or x3 the next year (3rd), so I'm trying to enjoy the little spaces of life that I have sleeping and doings sports with friends and my girlfriend.
Just 2 days ago I went to The Hives+Arctic Monkeys concert (I've been waiting all the year for it), and it was amazing! My body still hurts after that night. All that jumps and screams will be forever in my memory. I must say that the Hives were far better than Arctic Monkeys. What a rock band! Their energy and fast songs mades me sweat like never before.


Born to be a tree-hugger

Since I have memory, my family always teached me about the important of being respectful and friendly with the enviroment.
I think one of the reasons is because we all grew in the countryside, at the side of a lot of hills, mountains and trees.
That's why I have a lot of recycling habits, like divide the garbage (paper, glass, aluminum, cardboard etc.), and dump it into special containers, and also I don't use plastic bags at all.
I always prefer to walk or my bike instead a car or the subway, but unfortunatelly here in Santiago the streets aren't friendly with the bikers.
I think that our society starts to take care of the enviroment, because we all realized that our world's gonna disappear unless we do something about it.
But that's the theoric situation. In fact, at least here in Santiago (and in the way that I can see everyday), the people aren't to interested in helping our world. You can see this in everyday's traffic jam, and in the daily air pollution.
The carbon footprint is one of the newest topics about the contamination and how we can help to reduce it. As I said before, I think that my principal contribution to reduce my carbon footprint is choosing my legs and the bike instead the public sevice of transport or the cars (in the logical distances, of course, because I'm not gonna walk 130 kms. to reach home at the weekends).
But at the end, I understand and don't blame the Santiago citizens, because living here, in a small region with 6 millions of neighbors, it's a difficult situation that (I think) I will never adapt to it.

Abortion

I think abortion should be legal for everyone, but just in cases that the law have to describe and discuss in the future. If the abortion is allowed for every case, I think this will be used as a contraceptive method, increasing the risks of sexual transmission diseases. That's my point.
Now, I also think that every women have the right to chose the things that she does with her body.
Whatever decision that the goverment take, a very important point of the law have to aim to the education about the abortion, about the positive and negative impact of that, for her body and also, for her mind.
I believe that an embryo it's not always a human, but only when he or she developes the brain, and in this situation the foetus is capable to feel. This happens at the third or fourth month, if I remember what I read the last year.
In a secular country like Chile, the religious precepts shouldn't be considered in the moment of the redaction of the law, but it should in the previous steps to create that law, like all the discussions and things like that, with the goal of make an objective and inclusive law.
