Carey Lander, a portrait of peace

  This photo means so much to me. You can see a beautiful, smart and talented woman. Her name is Carey Lander and she was part of the indie and twee pop band Camera Obscura, specifically she played the synthesizer and she was the principal chorus girl. I write in past because she died on October 11, 2015; four years after her cancer diagnosis.
  After she found out about her illness, she entered to an organization (Sarcoma UK) that collects money to help people with osteosarcoma, an aggressive malignant neoplasm in a bone (a type of primary bone cancer). Lander created a page for Sarcoma UK in order to raise awareness of the disease and lack of funding for research and treatment. Until now (October 30, 2017), the campaign has collected £102,99. In consequence, she was a responsible and sensible woman; all that you can see in the picture.
  Like a curiosity, if you look every photo of Carey, you could find an effective source of serenity, love and happiness. In the case of you don’t believe me; her band mates, her family and her fans would tell you with any doubt that it works.

Carey Lander said: It's probably too late to help me, but it would be great if we could find something in the future that means children don't have to undergo such awful treatment and have a better chance of survival.

A big decision

  First of all, I would like to mention that my vocational decision to enter to the University was too hard. I had so many interests (and I’m still having it). For that reason, I think that the system of postgraduate studies is made for me (an egocentric perspective) because I could choose different courses and subjects that would complement my base career. Also, I think that when I finish Psychology I would like to study other Program.   The variety is dangerous for me. When I think in my postgraduate studies I feel confused again. However, nowadays the interrelation between different areas of knowledge has good “status” (multidisciplinary). If I had to choose today, I would like to study courses like drama, literature or ecology. If you are wondering why I don’t consider subjects in a direct relation to the Psychology, I’m doing it too.     I think that the postgraduate studies are the best opportunity to travel to other places, because your academic training...

Not my pets :)

First of all, i would like to comment that i don’t have pets. I love the animals so much, but I don’t share the idea of “to have pets”, because I’m not good enough to taking care to others. For that reason, I’m going to talk about my mom’s and grandmother’s pets.   My mother have three dogs. The first and most dear of them is Mateo “Tito”. He is 10 years old and he arrived to our house after being mistreated by his previous mistress. I think that my mom saved him. Mateo is so surly and jealous. Also he is friendly with (and only) new people. A curious datum: he loves to play with cats, even he enjoy that the cats chase him.   The second one is Aquiles, he is a Pastor Alemán. He likes the disaster and to go to dog parties every night; in despite of my mother’s concern.   Finally, the third and youngest dog is Magnus (an inherited name from his former family). He came to our home because his previous house was too small for a dog with so much energy (like this). He is...

Personal opinions

What is your opinion about legalizing abortion in some cases? I am absolutely convinced that the body belongs to each one of us. For that reason I´m totally agree with the three cases of abortion categorized in the recent and necessary law. Besides, I hope that the regulation of abortion gets an upgrade and finally becomes in free abortion, ensuring the clarity of the information, the bio psychosocial well-being (therapeutic company, equal access, etc.). All is only because the woman deserves to make a decision, the decision that she thinks is better. What is your opinion about recycling? I am reasonably sure that the recycling was the past (but we take conscious later), is the present (we are doing something, a little but something) and is the future (we had a long time to understand that the world, our environment needs care, accumulative care). The recycling is an essential process that makes the garbage suitable for reuse. All our waste, all our inorganic trash has the p...
