hobbies

Well, right now I don’t have many hobbies, because I don’t have much time to it. But I still practicing some sports, like soccer or table tennis, and I can still enjoying some movies witch is one of my favorite hobbies. In general, I prefer the activities outside my house, and with other persons, like go to the swimming pool, or meet some friends to play games or whatever we invent there.

Another game that I used to play, and I like it very much, is billiard. In some part of my life, about five years ago, I went to the billiard place like three or four times per week, with the same group of friends, but know I just can go one or two times per month. I want to talk a little more about my experience with billiard, the first time I played was when I have fourteen years, and my bigger brother takes me and teaches me the basic things. Two years from there I started to play more often and more often, until I get to the period I already mention. On that time I saw how my fiends and I improve our skills a lot, but in some point we stopped the progress, I think we were near to our maximum level. That coincided with the time we leave the school, and with my first enter to the University, so we start to play less often, and to lose our skills.

Now, about my movie-related hobby, I got a lot to say. First I want to say that I receive my movie taste in first case by my dad, because he knows a lot about films and he teaches me when I was younger. Know I have my own taste, but I can’t say it’s not influenced by him. I try to see a minimum of one movie by week, but I can’t always do it.

holiday destination

When I’m going on vacations I prefer the places with long natural extensions than the big cities because I like to walk log distance by the hills or along rivers. For example I prefer to visit the hide places on america than visit the big cities of europe. In general, I like the great forest, and the jungle, but I’ve never been there, I hope that I can go this summer to the Ecuatorial part of the amazonas. I also like the beach, and I already know a lot of good beaches in chile, peru and argentina.

The first place that I remember where I have a great time, is the sun island, on the midle of the bolivian side of titi-caca lake. This island was one of the places that the Incas use to improve they agriculture knowledge, and to develop the religion rituals.

I like this place because you can walk the complete island, I mean side to side in less than one day, but with lots of places where you can make camp, and enjoy the huge lake. Another thing that I like of the sun island is the weather, because the day is mostly clear with intense sun, but in the night, there almost always an impresive electric storm, that make more beautiful the look of the inca ruins.

For the next summer I got plans to visit Ecuador, because I like the beach, and some friends told me that in Ecuador are the best beaches of the pacific ocean, so I want to know if thats true. I also like the jungle, and Ecuador has it too, so maybe this is my chance to know the amazonas. I’m going to travel with my girlfriend, just like the last three years, and maybe with a group of friends that we meet on machu-pichu on the last summer.

I got four friends that travel to Ecuador like two years ago, and they give me a notebook where they writte all the cheapest places to stay and to eat, so I think I’m lucky because I wouldn’t have to worry about searching hotels or restaurants.

The article about neck pain uses a physical therapy point of view for describes a lot of ways to treat the neck pain.
The first way is mobilisation, what and in a few words, is to improve the movement of the neck joints. this must be done by a physical therapist. some reserch says that this treatment sometimes produce hedaches or more pain.
Manipulation by a chiropractor is other way that appears in the article and consist in a quick move of the neck joints that release the pain. But in 1 of 20 persons it was counter-productive and causes more pain.
Directed exercise, It's also a good way of treatment, the goal is to improve the flexibility of the neck muscles with strengthening exercises. this is better for people with chronic neck pain.
If we combine the treatments that I've said before, we can get better results, and studys have found that manipulation and exercise is the better combination.
there are also some alternative ways of treatment like acupunture. Acupunture is a legendary chinese technique that consist in put needles in specific points, but it's not realy sure how can this help to reduce the pain.
