My favorite picture

105 pounds dumbells

Well, it may sound weird but my favorite picture right now is not a picture of me and my family in some random celebration (birthdays, christmas, mother´s day, etc) or a picture of some beatiful place that I visited. My current favorite picture is the one on the left, it was taken in april 12th by me while I  was training in the gym, well the picture doesn´t show to much, just 2 dumbells of 105 pounds each (aprox 47.5 kilos each), my leg and the gray floor of the gym, what makes this photo special was what happenend the moment before it was taken, in that moment, I was capable for the first time since I started training to lift properly the biggest dumbells in the gym, that was one of my crazy dreams when I sign in almost 3 years ago.
For me it means that all my efforts where finally rewarded, that almost 3 years of constant training where finally taking me to the goals I was chasing.
 It wasn´t even a good day that day but that moment changed all and I was trully happy.
In the picture I have my leg above one dumbell making a pose victory because for me that was exactly what happened.
Now I can use this weight every time I want and it doesn´t even cost me, this photo will have a place in my memories along others crazy goals that I am reaching, and that I will reach.

My favorite trip (literal meaning (no drugs))

Well, it is easy in my case because I do not travel too much, and the reason behind that is pretty simple, I have no time and no money to do it, childhood trips doesn’t count obviously because I can’t remember them. So, my favorite trip was when traveled to Peru 2 years ago, it was during summer and Peru was hot as hell during that time, I remember days when the temperature was easily above 32°C, going out in the middle of the day was one ticket to near death for dehydration, but late at night it was a different story, the people goes out, for shopping or celebrate or to meet with friends to go to parties, every night was a party in my house, every day was just a wait for the night, it was like that in every house I stayed during my time in Peru. You might think that staying all day inside a house must be boring but the thing is that people use that time to actually talk each other, that is a thing that doesn’t happen here in Chile too much.

what is my favorite piece of technology?

Well, it was a matter of time to talk about this right? Technology is present everywhere in the modern world, I’m even using it right now (lol) and you (who is reading this) too.

Today I want to talk about my favorite piece of technology, I'm betting you already know what it is, in fact I could bet that is your favorite piece of technology too, yes, the answer is the cellphone.

I’m gonna be sincere and say it, the cellphone is not only my favorite piece of technology is in fact something that I could not live calmly without it and for that reason I have never lost my cell phone. Im soo used to use it that is part of my everyday life and it’s because is far more useful for me that most of the rest of things I have.

I can see movies, read books, download my university material, see my social media, and of course I can use it to communicate with other people. The only thing that it can  do is prepare me food and that kills me xD.

Right now I have a cellphone made by the company Samsung, I bought it two years ago in Perú while I was travelling for the holydays, recently the screen has been taken severe damage and now one of the edges is completely broken but the cellphone is still working but I'm afraid I will have to replace it in the near future.

pd: yes i make a mistake when I said that my cellphone can prepare food, I EAT ONE LETTER (DAMN T!!)  it can happen :c .

Why I choose biochemistry as my career

I talked before that I am studying biochemistry but I was not telling all my motives because I was doing a brief introduction of myself so right now I’m going to dedicated the time it deserves.

I always loved to help people with his problems, to watch them recover and continuing with their life’s, I also loved science, the chemistry and the biology that needs to happen in order to make our body moves, and recovers from almost everything that might happen.

From this point of view I had 2 very different options about what kind of career choose.

 The first option was to choose a scientific career that cares about humans and has direct contact with people.(careers as: medicine, nursing, kinesiology,etc.)

The second option was to choose a scientific career that did not have direct contact with people but that my help was given to them anyway (helping behind doors), the career needed to be then more about working in a lab, discovering new things and new techniques to help people.(careers as: chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacy, etc.)

In the end and after think about it a lot, I ended choosing biochemistry because it was the most balanced decision I could make. It cares a lot about the science that happens in our bodies, and with that knowledge I can help people behind doors working in a lab!.

right now I think that I am sleeping like 4-5 hours per day but it is worth it.

About me

Who am I?

Let me introduce myself, hi, my name is Renzo (yes, that’s my real name(not Lorenzo)) I’m 19 years old and I’m from Sullana, Peru. I came to Chile when I was 5 years old and I'm been living here since then. I lived my childhood like every other Chilean kid, it wasn’t until I was 8 that my parents explained to me that I wasn’t Chilean (shocking :o)

Since middle school that I love science in the order: biology > chemistry > physics (sorry physics :c)

My dream was to be a scientist (but not of physics) so i searched for all the options, considering several things like the amount of years of study that It would take, the amount of money, what I personally like and dislike and I ended up choosing biochemistry as my career.

The biochemistry study all the organic reactions that happens in our body and try to apply his knowledge of this to improve the everyday life of all human mankind.

Despite that my career demands a lot of my time, I still have time (sometimes because I “make time”) to relax and do others things that I like, like doing weightlifting or listen music or watch TV.

Things that I ENJOY are weightlifting and eat delicious food (guilty pleasure), I could spend hours talking about weightlifting or I could eat a tremendous amount of food in a row.

Some more normal interest may be movies or books, I love the movie “Extremis” and the book “The lord of the rings. Both are to me just perfect. Extremis talks about how hard is for a doctor or a family to choose the destiny of a patient that most likely is about to die, they have to choose if the give to the patient a last moment of peace or just try to buy more time even if that means to give the patient nothing more that agony. the lord of the rings.... well everybody knows about T.L.O.T.R.
