CARRER-RELATED WEBSIDE

I often visit prvademecum.com because it is the most comprehensive pharmacological online database. It has a very easy to browse layout, and even in its mobile version is easy to find anything pharmacological related. Both desktop and mobile versions share the same basic layout, with 5 different search bars, which simplifies its use; however, the app versions (for both iOS and Android) are just the same as the browser version, and you even must pay for them (20 dollars, which is outrageous), so I will stick with browser. As for the site itself, you can search extensively about active principles, commercial names, laboratories or manufacturers, pathologies and even interactions between drugs and other adverse reactions; you can even personalize your search to your country, helping greatly when I do not know about a “mysterious pill box my mom found in her drawer”. I visit it maybe a couple times a month, and I presume it will be of great help when I graduate and eventually work in some pharmacy related work.

MEMORABLE HOLIDAYS

I remember going to Valparaíso and Viña del Mar, two years ago. I was starting a relationship with my boyfriend and one day he said “why we don’t go to Valpo?”. Best idea ever. We went with just a backpack and a few pesos to the terminal, just after looking for a place in booking.com. The days were awesome, we cannot ask for a better weather in July. Sunny days, few people in the streets. We stayed in Viña, which was better than Valparaíso because it is less dirty. We discovered a nice bar near the hostel, they serve some delicious empanadas filled with cream cheese and shrimp tail, with a touch of ciboulette. We even met a guy from Pakistan, Ishmael, he was selling incense for a living (two years later we found him in Santiago begging for money, he was not doing very well). We went to Valparaíso, looking for a good place to eat seafood. The city is nice albeit a little dirty, but the worst part was going uphill to see the bay, it was too tall and I was too scared. You can see my scared face in the photos! Anyway, it was just a weekend, but it was one of the best weekends in my life.

  

FAVOURITE PICTURE

This photo was taken by my boyfriend Braulio and it shows my beautiful baby dog Rabito, which means "short tail" in spanish. This photo was taken in 2016, when me, my family, my boyfriend and my Rabito lived in Ñuñoa, near Estadio Nacional (this was taken in that house too, in the backyard). I remember we just finished washing him, you can see how wet he was. I have Rabito for at least 14 years, when my father gave him to my mother. He had a partner, Floppy, who sadly passed away that same year. I like this photo because it represents how happy we were there with my family, how much I love my dog (even if he is living with my in-laws, which take care of him because neither me and my boyfriend cannot have dogs in our houses), and just look at him and his smile, always happy and fat. I hope you like it too. Now Rabito is old, he is getting blind, but even that, when I visit him he always recognize my voice and start barking and jumping over my legs.
