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.

Our targets

So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.  Galatians 6:9 New Living Translation (NLT) source Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well. Every time we start doing something it is important where we want to get with that. Tha gives us motivation and purpose. That helps us keep on efforting for our target when we are already tired or gives us a new impulse  when we remember it. Starting a carrer isn't exempt of that rule. In my case, I'm studying a major in Biochemistry because it is a carrer that could reach me out to understand better how living organisms work chemically. My drives are that I could work reaserching about living organisms that could revert enviormental problems, making science workshops at school and maybe classes. In the first situation I imagine it with a lot of work in contaminated and clean places, a lot of time in the laboratory and also looking for ...

Summer holidays

[source] Hello every one! I hope you are doing well. Here we go again, we have just talked about the best vacations we have ever had. Now let's talk about what are we planning about the summer holidays that are coming soon, or at least that are getting closer. Along all my life I have always been waiting for vacations to go out to know some new place or to places that we already know to share with my family. For the first time in my life, this summer isn't the case. I'm not that motivated to know a new place, instead I would like to look for a part time job or something like that to earn some money. I would use that money to participate of some activities during the following year so my parents don't have to pay for the expenses of those things.  Although, I would like to go out some place with my family anyway because it is good to share some relaxation time together. Maybe we could go to El Quisco to visit my cousins and spend some time with my grandmother,...

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...
