Music in my life

Hello everyone! I hope you had a great long holiday weekend.

In this post I'm going to share with you about a topic that I have already mentioned in my last post: music in my life.

I have always liked music. I growth listening to Los Jaivas, NapalĂ©, Bee Gees, Queen, Peter Gabriel and others. I liked to hear how different voices and instruments sound so good together and try to identify which instruments were being played along each song. 
When I was at 2th grade, I had some piano lessons, but I give up on them because I wasn't willing to change my playing time for practice time. Now I regret for that decision.
Later, I started learning to play the guitar at school and I liked it a lot but I didn't expected that I would receive a guitar in my birthday that summer. It was a beautiful gift and this time I was going to seize it.

But, I had to make a decision. I was going to play the guitar only as a hobby? 

In the mean while I dicovered that one of the uses of music is worship and God likes people's worship. In fact, according to Psalms 22:3, the psalmists speaks to God saying: "Yet you are holy,    enthroned on the praises of Israel."He is saying that God is were He is praised. So I decided to play only worship songs with my guitar.

  
In consecuence, my likes about music also changed. The kinds of music I like now are: gospel, contemporary christian, contemporary worship and christian rock. Although I still like some classical music, pop, rock, disco music, salsa, cumbia and other kinds.

My favourite singer is Marcos Brunet and my favourite band is Hillsong United.

I have a cousin that also plays the guitar and makes some musical experiments and one of my sisters plays viola.

Music is very present on films. They wouldn't be the same withouth it. I saw one flm recently that I liked a lot: Sing! 
It's a very good movie and has a lot of good songs. After watching that movie I was at least three days singing "Shake it off".

Although I don't have problems with singing that, I do when I can't stop singing songs of Silvio Rodriguez or Francisca Valenzuela. Silvio Rodriguez didn't bother me till I stood some days in my grandparents house and my grandmother put the same CD the whole day. In Francisca Valenzuela's case I used to like her, but now I can't stand her (I'm sorry for her fans but that is the truth). 

What about you? There is any artist that you can't stand?

Good bye!

Changing ends

People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.  Proverbs 28:13 New Living Translation  [source] Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well :D. Are you in the middle of evaluations? Come on! I now you can do it ;). Talking about that, evauations are very important because they show you the things that you have to change or improve. When this year started I share with you some issues that I had to improve to continue at university. Well, as much as I need to be evaluated, the university needs it too. What about changing roles for a while? Let's check in what aspects does the university need to improve. In this post I'm going to focus on five aspects. You can assign a score to each of them according to your perception. Perception                     ----- Score Satisfied                    ...

Postgraduate studies?

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well. Today I am going to travel far in the future, as I did in my previous post. We are going to talk about a course that you would like to take when you finish your major degree. When I heard this I said "What?! Are you crazy? How am I going to talk about what I am going to do after I graduate if I'm not even close to gradute yet?" Anyway, I will try to look beyond that I have in front of my eyes and tell you what I would like to do. I'm just joking. I do use to look at the future but I question myself about if it is going to be as I imagine it. I'll tell you about that later. [SOURCE] Answering the question about what I would like to do when I finish my major degree I would say taking a Master in Biochemistry. I would consider taking this course in the future because it's objective is giving a high level background in Biochemical sciences and its aplications to professionals and university graduates. I ...

Why did I choose Biochemistry?

Hello! That's a good question. I chose Biochemistry because I like learning new things and getting deeper  knowledge of chemistry and biology. Every time I can understand at a microscopic level a biological process, I wonder of how it perfectly works related to other processes. The idea of discovering just a little bit of how does God's complex creation works, it's exciting. Besides, I like to have the opportunity of take advantage of the knowledge that I already have or that one I will have, for society's benefit. I saw all of that in the career, so that's why I chose it. Now, How did I choose the career? That´s a little bit long story. I have already told you some details in the previous post but now I tell you more. First of all, at 9th grade I moved to a school that prepares students for getting in university. Naturally, that became my objective during whole high school. The task was choosing what career I wanted to get in. My first option was education, I ...
