Free Time and Hobbies

Well, today I'm going to talk about what I like to do in my free time. When I am in the University, I like playing table tennis in the CES (it's like a room for the students), I play Taca Taca too. In my house, I like reading books or magazines and I like watching historic or scientific programmes or movies in the TV. I remember, whan I was a child, I played Super Nintendo and I did soccer. After that, when I was 13-15 years old, I did basketball, tennis, etc 4-5 times a week. Today, I still like doing sport, but I don't have many time to do it. I do soccer once a week and Physical Education once a week too. I think that my favourite hobbie to do in my free time is the sport: basketball, tennis, soccer, bycicle and table tennis.
Other hobbie is watch programmes in History Channel or National Geographic, or some channel like that, especially, programmes that show other cultures and countries, in different ages of the history or related with my career. Oh, I was forgeting something, I like cooking, specially, chinese food. I like inventing new dishes too.
Well, the things that I did or I do in my free time, they have helped to meet new persons and do friends, specially, the sports. The historical or scientific programmes have helped to me to be a person more tolerant with other cultures, religions or simply know things useful for the life. Respect with the food, sometimes, to my friends likes that I cook them. For example, in the holidays, sometimes they ask me their favourites dishes and I did them.
The music is other of my hobbies. I like groups like Garbage, Placebo, Coldplay, Lucybell, Travis and Keane, and singers like Norah Jones and Alejandro Sanz. In general, my favourite kind of music is the brit pop and rock.

Holidays .-

Hellooo! Today, I'm going to talk about the holidays that I've lived and I'd like to live.
When I was a child, I went to Viña del Mar because my family had a house there. I walked n the beach and I played there. I liked (and still I like) ride a bike in the park. I remember that I went to eat pizza and ice cream near to the beach. In the 2000, I went to Puerto Varas in holidays, I knew Petrohué, Ralún, Ancud, Puerto Montt, Valdivia, Osorno, Frutillar and Todos los Santos lake. Other holiday that I remember is when my family and I went to Buenos Aires, I was fifteen. I bought many books and Cd's because they were very cheap, cheaper than Santiago obviusly.
Well, for this holidays, I don't have plans, the only thing that I'm sure is that I'll go to missions to the south of Chile, representing to my school. We don't know exactly where we go, but almost always is the ninth or tenth region. The last time we went to Cumbre Alta, near Puerto Montt. It is a little town and we had a great experience there. The people is very nice and kind. The missions are in January. After that, I don't know what I do. I don't think that my family go out, so I think that I'd go to the beach with my friends, to the house of a friend of mine in Ilimay, near San Antonio.
Honestly, If I had money, I'd like to know Chile from north to south with all my family in the holidays. After that, I'd travel with my best friends to somewhere in the World, a place where we can relax and enjoy very much, for example, the Caribbean or Europe. And if I travelled alone, I'd like to know San Francisco, in USA, South East of Asia, China, South America, India and Europe. I love travel.
For this holidays, I expect go to many places with my parents, brothers and friends. I'd like to celebrate my birthday with people I love and go to a disco or something like that to enjoy my 19 years old.

Exercise and Chemotherapy

A study done in two hospitals of Copenhagen and published in the British Medical Journal said that doing exercise and sport of high and low intensity while having Chemotherapy is good for feeling better. Also, exercise helps to increase the strength in the muscles and helps to breathe better too in relation to people with cancer that didn't do sport.
The therapy for the people that participated in the study consisted in 9 hours of exercise per week, this includes exercises for the heart, muscles, relaxation exercise and massages. Despite the results of the investigation said that people feeling better than other people with this disease, the quality of life did not improve in general. It was a momentary well-being. To improve the quality of life, the exercises should be forever. This study is very reliable, because it was done with two groups (who did exercise and who didn't) and this allows to know if people really feel better or if it was a placebo effect. Before finishing, people who are in Chemotherapy and feel fatigue, before starting to do exercise, is better to call the doctor or ask for the treatment to know what kind of sport or exercise is better for the person.
