Strength in harmony with nature, Aikido


Hello friends, today i am going to write about a japanese martial art. Its developed for Morihei Ueshiba, who learned many martial arts, like ninjutsu o kenjutsu. He is considered for the people that pratice Aikido like a great master, because he always want to be best, to learn more and increaces his knowledge. For many reasons the Aikido it´s my favorite and for this i practice it all weeks.

Now, I explain the principal characteristics of Aikido, for you understand why like me. First, Aikido is not a competition sport, because the Aikido philosophy says nobody win in a fight, because i can hit to somebody but other personar can hit me for vengance, and this is infinity, this is the reason because the violence is not a solution. The violence only produce more violence and vengance, hate or resentmente. The second point, is that in Aikido, we always can to learn new things, even the masters of Aikido (Sensei) can to learn of his students!, and the women, children or old people can to learn Aikido and practice all days. All people follow their path that walk to their own rythm. The last point is Aikido teach respect for the people and to be corteous. Too its teached me to be more brave but whitout violent.

In conclusion, I can say that i have know many good people for Aikido and I learned so much about the control of my body and the healthy life. I trust more in myself and i belive that with effort is posible get our objetives. I want too invite to you to practice some martial arts because is fun and to improve our body. Now I put a video of Aikido for you motivation !


Postscript: The Aikido is better than ballet because the movements are naturals ! hahaha :)

The best show with my band


Actually i dont have a band, because the university take all my time, and honestly i think that lift it because i was sad for my parents don´t want i will be a musician. However, this picture (a spectator take it one years ago, and uploaded in facebook) reminds me of that period of my life where i was playing my guitar many hours and i write many songs. This pictury, particularly is when the audiencie screamed for more songs, and the people didn´t want thar our show finished.



I am to the right of the picture, near of the singer, and the drummer is back of me, in the other side of the stage is the bass player and he sing the chorus . back to him, second guitar player.

That day, i played guitar with so energy, and i saw the crowd enjoying the music, i moved my head with the rythm and i keeping move for the stage. The name of the band was "Pacto de fuego" and we play metal and hardcore music. Many people don´t believe that i like heavy music, because my style is regular, very common, but i say that no matter, because the important is inside of me, the metal and hardcore music is in my veins, my blood. For this reason, i love this picture, because it´s reminds me of my music past, when play guitar and the people enjoyed my hobbie.

In this show, we played a Hatebreed´cover. Here i post a song that we played that day, for you listen. Is a heavy music, caution!

Electric Guitar, my favorite technology



Arguably the most influential musical instrument in the 20th century due to its characteristic sound and it was popularized for famous musicians like Jimmy Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Ricthie Blackmore, Angus Young and others. The electric guitar is an important component in the development of many musical styles such as Blues, Rock, Punk, Jazz, Metal and more.


My first electric guitar, my parents gave me for Christmas 5 years ago, was silver and it sounded very good to play the music that I liked, the hardrock and metal. I played many hours a week, and I learned very quickly to play songs difficult. Currently, however, do not play much because I'm in university and and I have to spend my time reading a lot because I study psychology. I play once or twice a week and not play as well as before yet still is fun.


Although many people play electric guitar, very few know how to do really well, because it requires a lot of dedication to have a good technique.

Without the electric guitar I feel very depressed, because it allows me to express my emotions intense artistic way, as nothing else can.

My favorite super hero is: Spawn


His real name is Al Simmons but his enemy call it Spawn. He was killed by the military, but asking as a last wish to see his wife again. However, this wish was fulfilled by the devil, taking over the soul of Al Simmons and giving a new look, the body of a demon in the real world, and then he could visit his wife.

I identify with Spawn, because people do not understand the actions and believe he wants to do damage "and is a bad person, but he just wants to help people and protectthe weak. Spawn has intense feelings of love, hate, loyalty and honesty, however we like to have a strong personality because we suffered a lot with the betrayals and prefer to avoid suchsituations, so I identify with him.

This superhero teaches us that heaven and hell are humanchoices, but we can find our own way to build a better world.

"La lógica del titiritero" Scientific Psychology

http://pablorpalenzuela.wordpress.com/ La lógica del Titiritero" is a very good website of scientific aproach about psychological phenomena . The topics are very variates, from the love, relationships, language, human evolution, intelligence, and more. I think that this aproach is necesary for study of human behavior because provides a vision that allows understand objectively to the people. In this way, is possible create new therapies with most efficience and effectiveness. So the psychologists can help to more people.

One important idea of this website is: "The reason is a product of evolution". This phrase shows the influence of Charles Darwin and explain the relevance about the humans are simply one animal more on the animal kingdom and our mind can explain through of nature sciences. Current research are published periodically, for example: "¿Hard girls are more desirable?" "The woman without fear" "Factors that predict when and how often people fall in love". All of them very intersting and motivate to search more information and learn many things more. For the reasons already mentioned, I recomend this website, in this way you will have the knowledge that will serve to understand the psychic phenomena in a more comprehensive way.

Fight Club, one of my favorites movies


It was directed by David Fincher in 1999 and is a drama-suspence movie. Fight club is a film about psychology violence, how the people lives catched in a represive system that generate of agresivity and suicide feelings. The main character is Jack, (protagonized for Edward Norton) a sad person that is boring of his life because his job is stressing and very disgusting. Jack don´t want to live in a world where the money is a most important that the humankind lives without values. One day appears Tyler (protagonized for Brad Pitt) in the Jack life , a soapmaker with a nihilist and egocentric personality, Tyler teachs to forget the material things to Jack for that he can to feel peace in his life. However Jack is really schizophrenic and do not know that Tyler is a invention of his mind for he can to make thing that afraid him and dare meet his wishes. The doble-personality of Jack, brings many problems that it happens in developemt of the history I have watched this movie six or seven times and ever its fun and impresive. I really recomend this movie to all students of psycology because it shows a personal conflict that we happens in ours mind. It makes us to think a lot about the problems of real life and it coming back topic present in novels of Herman Hesse about mental duality of the humans. Also the actors do a great job and they generate shocking scenes that increases the strenght of the message that send the movie.

A little video about the movie for you.
