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!

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

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 ...
