BLOG 4: " My Weird Collection"

Hi! Today I'm going to show you the most amazing collection that you ever see.

Like a little intro to the topic, I should tell you that I enjoy animated series, movies and I love the geek culture. I also like the Collectable Figures so, as may you expect, when I met the Funko Pop brand I felt in loveee.

They make figures inspired in the bobbleheads but cutest and they have a long catalog of characters.

Before I start, I should add that this hobby is with my brother who also contributed to this collection.

Our first figure of the collection was a FAKE FUNKO, yes, as you read, we got a fake funko. It was a gift for my brother for his birthday and now, seeing it, you can definitely see that this funko is different.

Since this moment the memories are distorted and I don't remember what funko came next so I will show you the collection that my brother made.

And this is my collection! which is a smaller collection but together is everything that we want.

Summer Stitch is my lastest funko and it was a gift for my birthday. It's my favorite and has a sweet smell, like strawberry

I also have two more little figures; they're cute keychains and they're put in my littles backpacks. 

I hope you enjoyed reading this blog and let me know which funko pop is your favorite. Bye!

BLOG 3: "The Chemistry Against Cruelty"

 

Hi! As may you know I study chemistry and I´m in my fourth semester. Chemistry is the science that studies the composition of matter and the proprieties in its interaction, the resulting products, and the application of these properties in the life of man as such.

Of interest for chemists are the properties of the compounds, their reactivity and their use in fields such as biochemistry, pharmacology, the cosmetics industry, the food industry, materials chemistry, petrochemicals, engineering, among others.

One of the reasons why I study chemistry is for try to make a change in the cosmetics industry and avoid animal experimentation.

Animal experimentation as the name says consists of testing the products on the animals alive to see their reactions.

Animal tests are being replaced in areas such as toxicity tests, neuroscience and drug development: in exchange for torturing animals, it can be tested with human cells. In this sense, human cells have begun to be used to create innovatively devices called "organs in chips", these can be used in place of animals to study possible human reactions.

I believe that one day the change will be made, and I hope that I could help in that change.

BLOG 2: "The Best Concert I've Ever Been To"

 

Hi! I have always enjoyed the music and been a fan of a lot of artist and bands, my favorite band is Linkin Park.

Linkin Park is a rock band formed in 1996 in California. Their most famous songs are “In The End”, “Numb”, “New Divide”, “What I’ve Done” and “Crawling”.

I have been fan for fourteen years -I’m twenty-two now- and my dream was see them live. When I was eleven, they came to Chile, but my parents didn’t give my permission to go to the concert cause I was little. In 2016 they announced a new world tour and they visited Chile for the second time. This was my moment and I bought the tickets exactly in the moment that they released them.

The concert was the 21^ts May of 2017 and it was all that I was dream. I went with my brother, who is a fan of the band too and we cry at the begging of the concert. We sang every song and enjoyed every minute.

I remember that when they sang my favorite song called “Waiting for the end” I cried cause I always dreamed to listened in live and in the concert before of Chile, they didn’t sang it so it was a surprised

In 2017, a month after the concert in Chile, Chester Bennington, the vocalist, committed suicide.

I hope you give it a chance to the band and listen a few songs, they´re really good.
