My favourite TV show

Hello there, dear reader!
I don't think I have just one favourite tv show, but there is one foreign tv show that I'm sure is one of the best tv shows I have ever watch: Hellsing Ultimate. 
This tv show is a japanese animation tv serie, based on a manga (japanese comic), with episodes of almost one hour long, made in high quality.

Hellsing is named and centered around the Royal Order of Protestant Knights, whose founder and original leader was Abraham Van Helsing. The mission of this organization is to fight against the undead and any other monster, to protect England and the Queen.
 Hellsing is now lead by Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, a descendant of Abraham Van Helsing (who is, by the way, a character from Stoker's Dracula). 
The main characters are Sir Integra Fairbrook, Walter C. Dornez (Integra's butler), Alucard (the original vampire, Vlad The Impaler) and Seras Victoria (Alucard's vampire neophyte). 

I love this anime because it has a good... no, a great plot, complex characters with elaborated backgrounds, good animation, tons of action scenes, a lot of blood (some people label this show as gore) and black comedy. Oh, and nice voice actors (I personally love Alucard's voice actor).

My favourite episode from this show must be the next-to-last episode, which is named "Hellsing IX" (because is the nineth episode, I guess). In that espisode, we can see Alucard's past as Vlad Tepes and how he lived and died (which is my favourite part from that episode, because it's based in the real  Vlad Tepes); also, in this espisode takes place one of my favourite fights from the show.

I really recommend you to watch this japanese tv show, if you can stand tons of blood and black comedy :)

See you next time!

Postgraduate Studies

Hello there, dear reader
Today I will tell you about the degree course I will take after graduate from psychology.
I, after doing some research about the topic, just decided to take the Existential Humanist Psychotherapy degree, here, on Universidad de Chile. 
I choose this especifici course because of the conception this line has about the human being, also, I like that this line of psychotherapy does not see the patients as "sick", so a humanist psychoterapist does not try to "cure" their clients. Instead, they kind of try to help them to reach a balance, and a state of well-being (and, of course, those therapists also deal with the problem itself that bring the client to therapy).

I have always thought about take a PhD, and it will, of course, be related to my job, but I do not know which one I will like to take or where I would like to take it, I guess I will found out in a couple of years  or more...
I know I will need a lot of money to afford the PhD cost, so I don't think I will take it anytime soon.
I will have to save money from my (future) job if I really want to do a PhD... 
I guess I will do a PhD here in Chile, because I can't afford anything outside the country. Maybe if I get a scholarship I could take a course somewhere else, but I have not thought in a especific country to go nor about which PhD I will take to take...

By now, I guess, I will be more than fine with just the Existential Humanist Psychotherapy degree.

And... that's it.
See you next week! ;)

My future job

Hello there, dear reader.
Tonight I will tell you about my future job. 
Since I am a student of psychology, you may think that I really want to work as a psychologist... well, not really. 
I, actually, want to be a writer and a poet. Since I can remember, I have loved to write fantasy stories... to create whole worlds, with its own legends, mythos, and cultures...
But that's just a dream and a hobby... 
I kind of gave up on all my dreams... and tried to be realist for once in my life, so I chose to study something that will give me some money to live, and not just bills and broken dreams...

I am thinking on working in clinical psychology, with adults, and that's all that I know about the matter. 
I would love to travel from time to time, to keep learning about clinical psychology, or to make some research, etcetera... but... well, I am not really motivated about this...
I just want to work as a psychologist, save enough money to buy a decent house... I just want to have a decent life... even if I have to give up in all my dreams.
I know my dreams won't came true...

But... maybe, just maybe, I would be able to write and publish my stories, maybe I could travel around the world, maybe I will be able to... well, you now, make my dreams come true.


And... that's it.
Sorry for the short post, but... I do not like to talk about this... it's... well, sad to tell you about my broken dreams and all.

See you next week.
