Two beautiful windows... (the eyes)

Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is unhealthy, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!
Matthew 6:22-23New Living Translation (NLT)

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well.

The eyes are amazing to me because of the wonders they allow us to see, how beautiful they are themselves, the machinary they have and because they are a master piece of optics.

They play the role of reciebing the light reflected or emitted by the objects and lead it to light-sensitive receptors that tranduce the light in electrical impulse that is processed and interpretated by our brain as images as we know them.
They are located in the upper front half of our face, with the nose between them. In our skull they are ubicated in the orbit.
Their size is about 24 mm of diameter and it's weight per eyeball is 7.5 
Some illnesses that can alter its normal functioning are: nersightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, presbyopia, color blindness, cataracts, strabismus, glucoma, among others.

Two tips that I find realy suitable for you to know to keep your eyes healthy are: 

  1. Eat healthy, do excercise and maintain a healthy weight. That avoids the risk of having high blood pressure, diabetes and high colesterol. Diseases that can come with eye problems.
  2. Use the 20-20-20 rule when using the computer. In this technological era we can foget to give our eyes a rest. Per each 20 minutes that you spend watching a screen, stop and look somewhere 20 feet (abot 6 meters) far from you for 20 seconds, and then continue with your work. 
Thank you for reading. God bless you!

    I always wondered if the color red that I see, is the same color red that you see, or even if it's the same color red for everyone! How do we know it? We both agree that we see the same color, but do our brains interpret the same color? Interesitng topic there!

    I always think that the eyes is a door to know the person from inside because their eyes show that to everyone who wants to see.

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, Napalé, 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. [draw by Esperanza Vera] But, I had to make a decision. I was going to play the guitar only as a hobby?  In the mean while I dicovered th...

Two photographs I like

Hello everyone! I hope you are having an excelent test period, and if you are not, I hope you have the willingness and calm to lern about the things you fail, understanding that you are in a growth process. This time I'm going to share with you some photos that are special for me and I really like. At the end, I want you to make a meditation about what they represent for you. "Rayitos de Sol" This was the second photograph I took with my cellphone about two years ago. It shows some summer flowers in my father's house garden and three apiaries behind. I like this photo because the colors are really beautiful and well defined. You can clearly see each flower separately. Most of all, I like this photo because it reminds me home, my dad (he loves bees), summer and vacations. "Family beside the lighthouse" My dad took this picture of our family, maybe you can see him holding a remote control with his left hand. From left to right, my father, his w...

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                    ...
