My birthday :D

I was thinking to write about people or Anthropology or things like that, but was so boring and when I write about that I used to finish angry with society. That's why I prefer to write about my last birthday.

It was on November 24th, the last sunday.

I travelled to the beach Punta de Tralca from Friday to Sunday, because I participate on a Fundation, "Fundación portas" and there was the travel of the semester. I was a little sad because I wouln't be with my family on my birthday lunch and they always like to cook something special to celebrate. 

At 0:00 from Sunday, my friends sang the "Happy Birthday" to me, playing güiro and bongo. After that, they made a little party with things to drink. We danced a long time, I enjoyed it very much. Even I danced bachata, it was my first time and was great, I loved to dance bachata and salsa.

On the breakfast they gave me a cake and they sang again to me, I was red with embarrassment because it was a surprise. We share all the morning on the beach playing different games together.

When we arrived to my house, my mother has a cake made by her and "ave-pimentón" sandwiches (my favourites). Also, she and my dad had different presents for me, and a couple of aunts too. My grandmother hasn't been very well, she has cancer and it's very advanced, that's why her mind isn't good sometimes. She didn't remembered my birthday, but she sang to me highest than anyone and it was the best part of the day.

On Monday, I came to the University and after class my friends made me a surprise celebration. They made me pancakes and a cake and buy different things to eat. I was very surprised and happy, I enjoyed it very much.

I write about this because I didn't wanted to celebrate, I was with a little sadness, but my friends made beautiful things that gives me happines and energy again :) I love them so much

Hey Arnold

Tururururururururu... tururururu (music from the intro)

My favourite animated TV show when I was a child (and now) is Hey Arnold, created by Craig Bartlett and transmitted on Nickelodeon. It was about a child and his adventures with friends from the same neighborhood and school. He was blonde, with "ballon head" and wore chekered shirt (it seems like a skirt).

His best friend was Gerald, a black child with a big curly hear. Also, there's a girl who love's Arnold, her name is Helga, and she follows him secretly every day. 

Arnold lived on a boarding house from his granparents, who takes care of him. On the boarding house lived more curious ad interesting people, who made different entertaining storys. The parents of Arnold dissapear on a travel, and he grows up only with his granpa Phil and his granma Gertrude (or "Cookie", like Phil calls her). 

I started to see this when I was 4 or 5 years old I think, and I still seeing it today everytime I can. I like it so much because it's about a very good boy who tries to overcome every trouble with intelligence and goodness. 

When I was a child, I always dreamed to meet a child like he. Now, my boyfriend is a very good man and his mother has a boarding house (and strage people lives there). Sometimes whe see together this tv show.

P.S: No, my boyfriend hasn't "ballon head".

This is my favourite chapter: "The pigeon man".

2013

Overall, this has not been a good year. Has been several things both personal and social levels that make me believe this.

Personally, my family has had health problems, so I've been focused on that and a little stressed too. I think the most important thing of the life are the people around you, so if they have not been well this has not been a good year.


Besides that, I have seen many situations where this is reflected individualistic society. Many injustices have continued to happen and, hopefully, there's a social awakening to cope.

This year I read a few about things I like and I think that I need it more, especially this semester. I have also to practiced some sport, I've done yoga but not very often and it's something I really like, so it is in my plans.

There's a good thing that makes me very happy, I bought a new bike and I have to go look tomorrow, so I'm really excited. I love biking and long ago that I din't do it because mine is bad, so I'm very excited to take up this sport or mode of living.

As a final comment, I would explain that I'm not mired in negativity. I think that living in community or in society need to be aware of the problems of others and feel as if they were our problems. I think this is the best way to raise awareness among the world, that not everyone has the same opportunities talking about basic needs as food, health or housing greeting.

This song and video reflects what I think about it.
