Continuing my studies

Continuing my studies

Hello guys and girls in this blog I'm going to talk about some postgraduate studies options I have considered.

Well I'm in first year yet so I have not decided yet. As you may know by this time I would like to study in California, but getting a visa and finance is a bit difficult so I'll be a bit more realistic.

My first option is to study Maxillofacial Surgery but I have heard it is the most difficult specialty of them all, so in case of not getting to study it, I have thought about other options.

Only maxillofacial surgeons can remove 3rd molar these days

My second option is implantology, because I would like to return the smile to someone who has lost their teeth. I found this specialty a very beautiful area to work in because you make people look like they want or restore their missing teeth. I really wonder why a lot of dentist tend to hate this specialty, maybe because by these days it's a very expensive service and only people like Leonardo Farkas have had their teeth replaced.

Those teeth look pretty fake to me, but I'm pretty sure he will not be getting any tooth decay in his remaining life

My third and last option is a very common one these days but I consider it very beautiful too. I'm talking about orthodontics because you can turn an awful looking smile into a beautiful perfect smile.
I also like this specialty because when I had braces I thought this was very easy, and I'm still thinking it (at least easier than Maxillofacial Surgery).

Thank God the orthodontic appliances are not like that anymore

Of course I would like study this specialties in the University of Chile because it is the best in dentistry in Chile, buy if I could get to study abroad I would't complain about it.

The other postgraduate study I would take is a Masters Degree on Anatomy because I love that subject although it doesn't love me. I see it like a great challenge I dare to take, because I think that is a very difficult subject that I have to master some day and also I would like to teach anatomy in the university.

So these are my postgraduate studies options, I hope you liked my blog, see you soon bye :)

In the future

Nobody can know what the future will bring, but what you can do is dream big, be positive, decree and work hard to achieve your dreams.

In this blog I'm going to talk about what I would like to do in the future after I graduate of the dental school.
In the future I'd like to work in two areas of odontology, one is a bit obvious, working at the clinic doing oral surgery. I'd like to work for the public service but I do not discard the posibility on working on my own.

And the other one is teaching, I want to be a Professor of anatomy, physics and/or some other clinic subject. I love anatomy, although it seems anatomy doesn't love me I would like to teach anatomy because is one of the most difficult subjects for any health related career, that's why I would like to make it easier for my students.

I want to teach physics because it is a bit easy for me so it would be the easiest way to start my theaching career.

Man: (From inside a bathroom stall.) That's a right triangle, you idiot!
Homer: D'oh!

And also I would like to teach some other clinic subject like many others dentist do.

Well in this world you cannot live without money, so talking about salary I would like to have a salary of 8 million CLP or more, you can think "Are you crazy or greedy?" Niether one, that big amount is the average salary of a dentist (without any specialty) in the city of Los Angeles, California  (150.000 USD aprox. in a year), that is the city that I want to live in the future.

Besides working as a dentist or a professor I would like to run other businesses like investing in the stock market or in real estate, in other worlds putting my money working for me instead of me working for money.

When it's all said and done, and money is not an issue anymore I would like to work in clinic for free for the people who do not have the means to take proper care of their oral health.
Before                                  After

My dreams seems to be a little bit big, but there is nothing impossible in this world. You have to dream big to act big and always be possitive and believe that you can do it, because you can.

Believe in yourself

My favorite animal


Hello guys and girls, my last blog was to extensive so today this is going to be shorter and with more images.

Today I am going to show you my favorite animal, but not my favorite animal that is the jaguar because you cannot own a jaguar, so I thought it would be better to choose an animal that I could live with, and I came up with the Pug.
Jaguars are very cool but I wouldn't have this in my home

Maybe this Jaguar F-Type R 

You may think "what the fuck is a pug?" Well, let Wikipedia explain this for us. "The Pug is a breed of dog with physically distinctive features of a wrinkly, short-muzzled face, and curled tail. The breed has a fine, glossy coat that comes in a variety of colours, most often fawn or black, and a compact square body with well-developed muscles."
"Ahoy-hoy"**


**Ahoy-hoy is the original hello, Alexander Graham Bell defined "Ahoy-hoy" as the salute for the telephone in its first years. It is currently used only by Mr. Burns when answering the phone.

This explanation may be too hard to understand so I'll explain better.

Pugs are dogs with wrinkles in their faces, they have a short muzzle (dog snout or mouth) and a curly tail. They often have this three hair colors: Black, Fawn or Apricot.
Black, Fawn and Apricot pugs

I choose them because they are perfect as pets, they can be your perfect friend because they adapt to their owner lifestyle. Either if you are athletic or lazy your pug will be exactly like you.

Pugs love to eat so don't overfeed them

But that is a problem because there are many obese pugs thanks to their owners' lifestyle, because owners often overfeed pugs and they end up being fat and having various heath complications because of theire obesity.
"S-pug-etti"

Pugs' eyes can pop out if their head or neck are squeezed

Pugs are very funny to play with because of their different wrinkle pattern fenotypes they have different type of faces. They can look happy, cute, angry, serious, sad, scared or like guity.

I included a happy black pug to show you that I am not racist

You can also play with their wrinkles

There are so many things to say about how awesome pugs are, but here is a video that explains it better.


Some people may say that pugs are ugly but I like to say that they are beautiful in their own way, after all beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Beautiful pug

My Favorite Series Ever and for Ever


In this blog I'm going to talk about my favorite series: The Simpsons! :)


The Simpsons are for my the greatest series ever, but unfortunately in 30 years the greatest TV program in the world, became just another Sitcom (Situation Comedy).

I love the Simpsons but I have to admit that this current Simpsons are NOT like the good ol' Simpsons, and I'm not talking of the early days of The Simpsons in The Tracy Ullman Show, No, I'm talking about the golden era of the Simpsons, the 90's Simpsons.

"you'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel"

I love this Simpsons because besides being a comedy show it was not stupid or cartoonish, it had the Laughter, the Realism and the Heart. This three components represented the character of the three producers of the show James L. Brooks, Matt Groening and Sam Simon. And their perfect mix made the Simpsons of the 90's what they were.

Matt Greoning, James L. Brooks and Sam Simon

If you see different Simpsons episodes you can notice the producers' hand in the style of the episode.
There are some comic and funny episodes like "Homer goes to College" when Homer attends to the Springfield University but he is totally incompetent that almost produced a meltdown.
"I'm so Smart! I'm so Smart! S-M-R-T... I mean S-M-A-R-T"
"Excuse me, Professor Braniac, but I worked in a Nuclear Power Plant for 10 years and errr... I think I know how a proton accelerator works"

Homer goes to College

Other more realistic kind of episodes like "Bart gets an F", where you can feel his suffering failing the 2nd grade and that's something that can happen to anyone.

And other more emotive and/or sad episodes like the Mona Simpsons saga (she debuted in "Mother Simpson), where you can see a very beautiful relationship between Homer and his hippy mother, and the sad ending that I'm not going to spoil (too much).

Mother Simpson

This is what made The Simpsons distinguish from the other 90's shows like Family Guy or South Park that have a more rude humor. And this is what made the Simpsons so great.

"You have AIDS" from Family Guy

Personally I believe that the greatness of the Simpsons was from the 3rd season (1991) to the 13th season (2001), and my favorite episode comes from the 13th season indeed and is "Weekend at Burnsie's" where Homer became the Executive Vice-President of the Power Plant because his excessive laughing caused by smoking medical marijuana is very useful to Mr. Burns in his shareholders meeting. Homer smokes because a group of crows that wounded his eyes.

You may have not hear about this episode before because it was censored in Latin America because of the using of marijuana.
Weekend at Burnsie's

Some people may say that the current time Simpsons are not good, and I agree a bit because they lost their Reality and Heart and became just another comedy show, with a more stupid Homer and Bart and a more annoying Lisa and Marge.

Some may say The Simpsons are dead but there's where I disagree, because even in their most recent seasons the have come up with animated masterpieces like Barthood, an episode where you can discover why Bart is a bad kid, an episode that have the three components for the glory Laughter, Realism and Heart.
