I am going to tell you something very crazy that happened to me some time ago in a party, I hope that you do not laugh at me, because is very foolish and I think that it only happened to me… It was in a holiday in which we were celebrating the birthday of the town where I was born, the name of the town is Arbeláez in those days I presented my new boyfriend (who is still my boyfriend) to my parents, I was very proud of him and I was really happy.
ResponderEliminarI came across with a few friends when we were buying some beers, a very old man was behind me and I thought he was my dear boyfriend, I did not looked at him, but I hugged him and I said: -Hello, let me interview you my dear boyfriend… All of them started to laugh at me; I did not know what was going on until a few seconds later that I realized that he was not my boyfriend; it was a very embarrassing moment for me. When I saw my boyfriend he was laughing at me too and until these days they remember that crazy situation.
OMG! I won't drink anymore... For real...
ResponderEliminarA couple days ago, I was with my friends partying hard near La Salle, we were drinking and dancing a lot, I have to admit that I was a little bit drunk... OK ...I was really drunk.
What happened was that I didn't notice a boy who had joined us while we were dancing, that guy started to dance in a very "sexy" way with one of my girlfriends… by the way she had drunk too much, so I thought he was taking advantage of the situation… then I began to be disrespectful with him. I was just trying to keep my girl away from that “nasty” boy.
When we left the bar I told her what had happened, something like “that guy was trying to be something dirty with you, are you blind? you didn’t anything!!.. You are very drunk… I don’t know what would happen if I weren’t there”, then I saw a weird expression on her face, my boyfriend took me apart and one of my friends told me: “what are you doing? why did you say that in front of HER BOYFRIEND!!!?.. Also... That guy is one of her BEST FRIENDS and is also one of her BOYFRIEND’S FRIEND!!… You had never met him??”
I wanted to disappear… I don´t know what happened after that imprudence, and I don’t want to know it… I think she is a single lady now.
I had said that I would never drink again, but I didn’t anyway. Now I remember why I said that, I don’t want to see them anymore :$... :S…
Mmmmm... Since I was a child, I have always felt strange things, for example, I had said and I had done strange things when I sleep. Some weeks ago, I was in Carmen de Apicalá, I was on vacations, I have spent my vacations in Carmen de Apicalá since five years. A nigth, after a long day of hard work in our restaurant, my parents and me went to bed to sleep. Before to sleep I turned on the TV and I watched a movie called "I'm legend". This movie is one of my favorites and I had seen this movie many times. So, when the movie finished, I turned off the TV, I was very quite, but, after some minutes, I saw a monster of the movie would throw at me for hurt me, so, immediately, I rushed to the floor and I cried because I was very scared and I didn't want the monster hurt me. Then, my dad stood up very nervous but he tripped over with me because the room was dark and I kicked to my dad in the face, so, my dad stood up very quickly and turn on the ligh and he asked me ¡¡¡What happened to you Dalila?!!! And I told him about my strange dream. My mom stood up very scared and angry because I hadn't permited to sleep and because I had scared them, also, my mom scolded me and ask me ¡¡¡Why not do you go to church?!!! Why not do you pray before to sleep?... I have always gone to the church some days in the week and I have always prayed all the days... So, I could not sleep alone, I had to sleep with my mom and she scolded me all the night.
ResponderEliminarThe next nights, I had fear, I didn't want to sleep alone, but I had do it... My dad has said me I have to be very quiet and I have to go to the doctor because it is not normal, I could not continue in that situation, but, at the moment, I haven't gone to the doctor and I haven't returned to feel extreme strange things.
It happened when I finished the high-school, the night of the graduation, we had been with our families. After that I did a party in my house with all my friends, we were very happy because it was a very important celebration for us, we spoke, sang, danced and drank alcohol, it was very funny. I had fought with my best friend "Daniela" but it wasn’t an inconvenient for me to be happy.
ResponderEliminarBut my best friend, Julian had drunk very much, so he got drunk, and he was doing and saying very funny things and we were joking at him, but I was trying to take care of him. After he vomited and dirtied the floor and the bathroom, then my brother, my sister-in-law and I had to clean at dawn, it was very loathsome. After to clean it and take care of him, I had to go to his house and to speak with his dad and to tell him how it had happened. Today it is funny to remember and to laugh of him, but also it is funny when they laugh at me because I had to clean it.
mmm .. I going to tell you a bad and shameful experience that I had ...
ResponderEliminarWhen my firends and me finished our second semester, We went to a bar near "La Piloto College". This day my friends and me were to dance and drink; because we wanted celebrate that finished our semester.
All the night we could dance, but the only problem that We had was that the drink in the Bar was very expensive.
Then, my friend Liz went with her cousin to buy in the next shop. She bought a "Aguardiente bottle". So she called me and I had go out of the bar .... I thought that I was going to drink a little.
Liz, Liz´s cousin, Liz´s boyfriend, my boyfriend and me drunk of this bottle, but I was daft because I drunk almost the half bottle.
Liz said me : "Joha ... you have drink this little cup by Gacharna, because she was a bad teacher with you" (In the second semester I had a quarrel with Gacharna because She hadn´t wanted to explain me my final notes, and obiously I wasn´t agree with these.)
When the aguardiente finished I was very drunk.
As a climax I couldn´t go to my house, so I went with my boyfriend, Javier and others friends to the Sebastian´s house (a classmate). I was very bad my friends had been carry me to the Sebastian´house.
When We arrived, I wanted go to sleep so Sebastian said me: "Johanna can sleep in this mattress". ... ¡I supossed that my boyfriend wanted go to sleep too!; but he didn´t wanted... and he said me : " baby go to sleep, I retur later".
When I´m sleep I wake up many times, in fact this early morning I woke up and I could feel that my boyfriend was sleeping with me .. I liked this ...so I had given him a hug and I kissed him in the nape of the neck. Soon after I fell asleep again.
When I woke up at 8.30 am I could see that the guy was sleeping in side me wasn´t my boy friend .. :S :S
I was very drunk that I gave a hug and a kiss to ther guy.
I´m feel shame of this event .. for this reason I promised that I never drink again ... BUT THE TRUE ...
For that matter is that If I can go to dance .. I GO ... but I just dance and I drink two beers... NO MORE ... :D
I dont remember exactly the date, but when it happened I had already got my charter, I just remember some things because ... well it was in Bogotá (chapinero).
ResponderEliminarIt was a saturday on the night, I was with my brother, my cousin and my best friend, we were sharing some time and we are looking an excuse to going drink. So we went to chapinero in order to celebrate that my brother had got his driving pass, and of course we had the excellent idea to go in my mother´s car.
At the beginning in the place that we were the things were excellents despite of the enviroment because a don´t like the parties with vallenato, but I was so comfortable there because I was drukn a little bit.
When we were sterted the really party the place had been closed, then we went to another place to inish the party , but my brother was drunk and he crashed a taxi and he didn´t matter he continued driving, so in a flash a lot of taxis were chasing us, I was very afraid of that because I was trying to avoid problems with the man but my brother just wanted to go drink.
After a strange chase I had realized that police also were chased us,then I said " the police, we have to stop now" so we stopped, but when it happened the police started to attack us, In that moment I hadn´t undestood why,but today I know that guys and I know their behaviour, so one policeman take wiht your gun and started to tell many things that I´m not going to tell you...
After that, they threatened as thieves because they were firends of the taxman, finally the lead us to a cai called "La modelo" of cousre when I heard I felt scared jaja, and we go home with the promise of never repeat it.
The last semester i found an umbrella in front of classroom; my friends had told me that this umbrella was of a parner the other class and she know me but really i don't know exactly who is she; however i take the umbrella.
ResponderEliminarMy friends told me that i had stolen but that's not true; so they think that this umbrella is going to be a curse for me; because this day i nearly fell when i was leaving of the University; and the last day of class i was runed for the stairs with this umbrella and fell down because i stumbled whith the umbrella and one step the fact is that i fell down in front of the boy that i like so it was very shamefull.
and this semester one day when my friends and me leave the class; it was raining so my friend Johanna and me try to open the umbrela and this is disrmer so it was very ridiculous.
Now; i think that this umbrela really was a big curse for me...
When I was a little boy as the Beatles said jejejeje.
ResponderEliminarMore or less at the age of 10 my parents decided that my brothers, my mom and I should to travel to Santa Marta to vacations of December without the company of my dad.
But well it is not the anecdote what I want to tell you, it is that during these vacations 12 years ago. Something unforgettable happened to me.
I guess that we were on Friday morning and I was together with some cousins and my two brothers which had been playing per hours without my.
For this reason I was looking for something to do while the whole world does everything except put attention on me :( jejeje.
But I put myself to remind that my uncle was shouting to my cousin when he said "caremonda".
So I in my innocence have no idea of this word meaning and while I was remind my uncle’s fighting with my cousin. Suddenly I heard an hard uproar that was coming from the back yard where my mother and my aunt were. I was scared then I get up from the floor and run to the back yard and shout "what happened “caremondas”?". Everyone was scandalized by my words. When my mother strikes me a “garnataa” synonym of slap but I didn’t know why. I asked her.
Why do you strike me?
And she answered to me.
It seems small to you say to us this rudeness. Which rudeness.
“caremondas” she answered to me.
I said to her: mom I didn’t know that this word was rudeness. Yesterday I heard to my uncle say it to my cousin and since alone I repeated it.
There it was when my mom explained to my. That I had said to her and to my aunt "penis face" in costeño.

ResponderEliminarOk, I going to tell you about an anecdote that happened to me when I was a child. This happened when I was seven years; I was on vacation with my family at my grandparents' farm. One day my cousins and I were playing to the restaurant, my parents and my uncles had gone to drink beer and play “tejo” and we had left us to the care of my godparents and my sister.
ResponderEliminarMy godparents and my sister went to watch TV while we were playing outside. We were preparing the food of the restaurant with the plants and flowers that were growing in the garden of my granny (I must say that When she discovered that we had damaged her garden, She got angry but she always forgave us all our pranks) Well, I was preparing the salad from the “dinner” so, I went to look some “tomatoes” and found a plant with red seeds, I thought these were perfect for the salad, so I took some and returned to the kitchen and crushed all the seeds, later I started to feel that my hands and my face stung and I ran to look me in a mirror, And how horrible! My face was red, I shout and my godparents ran to me , they asked me because I had my face and my hands so, I told them everything I had done and suddenly they started to laugh, this was obvious !I had taken chilli pepper! They quickly washed my face and hands with cold water many times and they gave to me sweet of milk, too much! I believe that for this reason I hate it now.
I am going to tell you something very crazy that happened to me when I was going with my boyfriend to a party. I was very happy. I was wearing high sandals.
ResponderEliminarI wanted to see very nice, he was accompanying me to my house, but when we were walking i fell dawn to the street.
In this moment I got angry jejeje because I felt sorry. But thank God my boyfriend only thought in help me to stand up.
It was a horrible experience for me. And since that day I couldn´t forget

I am going to talk about the most horrible experience of my life. In Bogota there are many hospitals but I worked in a very special , old and uncommon hospital . This place was opened in August 1930 and from that moment doctors and nurses had cared sick and injured people and also had seen die hundreds of persons, babies , men and women of all ages . Then hospital workers began to discuss about many horror stories and tales about ghosts of patients who had died in the hospital.
ResponderEliminarIn July of 2003 I began working in this hospital on the nigth shift from 7 pm to 7 am . One nigth I went to bed for two hours in a very big and dark room , I was alone , I had been awake for one hour ,I hadn´t been able sleep , I had begun to feel something strange in the room . I had already fallen asleep when suddenly I felt a big man who walked on me and said me "¡nurse!". I was very scared and I had started to shout but nobody could hear me, at that time I felt that I couldn´t breathe . Finally, when I could wake up I saw my workmates in the room they had already gone to bed.Until quite recently I hadn´t been able forget that horrible voice.
It actually happened a year ago,and involved my boyfriend, we hadn't met yet, so we was flirting everytime saw each other...so one day I was leaving home, and going to the university, when I saw him walking with his dog, a huge and beautiful bullterrier.
ResponderEliminarHe was on the opposite side of the road, where I was walking... so I looked back to see him and I kept walking and he did the same as me....suddenly I heard a noise, the dog was barking...he had crashed with a light pole and had fallen down to the floor...off course I ran after him , and tried to help him , but was so funny because while I was walking I cant stop myself of laughing....I've never felt that shame for someone else...
MY FIRTS IN TIME MOTORCYCLE
ResponderEliminarI was in Cali. I had a great time. I had so much fun there, I danced, I went to a swiming pool with my cousins. I visited my family, also I went to the town next to Cali where my father has a farm…I was very very happy.
It was a vacation from school, I was 16 years old. That day was beautiful. It was sunny.
A long time ago I wanted to ride motorcycle and because of a coincidence my cousin Andrey arrived with one that someone had borrowed her. I ride the motorcycle but I was so scared because my shoe got stuck in the tire, and I didnt want to tell my cousin, so I only tried to force myself to get my shoe out.
Fortunately I didn’t get hurt and my foot was fine anything to complain about.
It happend when I was in my last year of high school, I had been to Edwin's house (he was my bestfriend)so in that moment arrived Tatiana (like Edwin's girlfriend)and Donoso, so we had to give some assigments for the English class, but we had decided didn't go to the high school and we sent our assigments with a partner.
ResponderEliminarlater we started to walk around the high school because we didn't know what to do, but suddenly we had met with Acosta and he told us that we can go to Simon Bolivar's park and he had a bottle of Aguardiente jejejeje so we went there. in the way we started to drink, that was fun because Tatiana with some shots was drunk jajajaja and an old man saw her and said us "hey you guys, what you gonna do to that girl??? I'll call the police" so we had to run away because we were afraid but later it was funny, the old man came behind us but as we were young, he couldn't take us, we had done a little bad things but never do bad things to a girl.

Well this happened to me a long time ago. I was only 11 years old when this happened. It was really funny. Everything started when a friend of mine bought a beautiful computer so I wanted to have one too. I really wanted to have my own computer, so first of all I asked for a computer to my father, but he said that he didn´t have any money, then I said to my brother that if he bought me a computer I would clean his shoes every day but he didn´t accept the deal. I was really angry and disappointed.
ResponderEliminarAfter many days my brother gave me a wonderful surprise. I was sleeping when suddenly I heard him shouting and of course I woke up immediately. When I opened my eyes I saw a big box in front of me. He told me: ¡Open it, Open it! When I opened the box I realized that he had bought me a computer and the best of all I didn´t have to clean his shoes. I was so happy!
But the problem began when I didn´t want to do anything else, even I didn´t want to go to sleep. Because of I really loved my new computer.
One morning my family decided to go out to have a walk. They invited me but of course I didn´t go. They were very upset with me but I didn´t mind. I only wanted to stay with the amazing present my brother had given to me.
I remember that I was in front of my beautiful computer when I started to feel very tired, and my eyes were closing. I can´t remember anything else.
When I woke up the first thing I saw was a man knocking the window. As I lived in a second floor the man was in a ladder. I was very scared. I didn’t know what was happening I think he was a thief.
After that I heard my mother´s voice. Then I run straight to the window and I could see my family. They told me that they were very worried because they had touched the doorbell many times but I didn`t open the door and that was the reason why they were very worried, because they thought something wrong had happened to me. So they decided to call a man to bring them a ladder so that they could see what was happening inside the apartment. And the true was that I had been sleeping for many hours and I hadn`t heard anything. I really was very tired!
First I think that we should not regret anything. Every mistake we make leave us a lesson and so that prevent us from committing the same mistakes time and time again that may be even worse.
ResponderEliminarHowever there are things in my past for which I am not proud, one of those is not have listened to my grandfather before he died, not thanked him for his wise words and instead have ignored him, I regret not giving him a kiss and not telling him the day before his death “forgive me for my bad attitude”, but This gave me a life lesson and is: not to make the same mistake with my parents or with the people that I love the most, is important to say how we love them AND it is necessary to put the pride aside.
"The greatest mistake you can make in life is the constant fear of being wrong." (Elbert Hubbard)
Searching through my memories i knew that i have not had regret anything; so i ask to a cousin and he said me: one day beginning the year school a group of people arrived to him school called Colegio Semilla de Vida looking new talents in the students of this place; this talents can be for example: singers, composers, dancers, writers, actors among others.
ResponderEliminarEverybody say him.. go!! You can!! Because the wonderful singing and have a beautiful voice; however, he was very scared and took the decision, a decision that maybe really hurt and he said no. according to him, he had never hurt to give a no answer but also understood that he is so young and sure many opportunities are going to coming.
Now, he studing at a music academy and prepares, for that the next opportunity the scare not invade him and he will said yes and off course his dream is going to fulfilled; and I'm sure that he going to be the best artist around the world; because, when someone want something with all the strength of his heart the chances of that is true are really high!
My Regret.
ResponderEliminarI can't stand when people said that facts that happen is because is a God's issues, I think that is a way to become conformist. well but if I write here is because I will telling an story... I remember once ,when I was 18 years old, I worked in a restaurant and I was saving money , I don't remember what I would want, I suposse that it would be things that now I know that I don't need. well i kept my money in my bed exactly in a envelope that my father gave me for my birthday, I save money all days because in this moment I didn't drink or something like that. I think that I would have 800.000 $ one day I realized that my money had disapeared, I felt so ungry and i regret because if a had kept the money in another side it wouldn't happen, after that i realized that the thief was my friend.
Well, if I think about my regrets is pretty difficult because I do not remember anything… But I am going to tell you something very simple because to be honest I do not want to regret anything in my life… Till now, off course!
ResponderEliminarWhen I was a little child my aunt loved me a lot and where she were, I was with her, she did not have children, so I was like a daughter for her. Some years later things changed because was born my little cousin. I felt very jealous because my aunt focused her attention in her daughter, so my cousin and I were arguing all the time and my aunt decided to separate us because of that… I regret that because nowadays we are the best friends, she is like my little sister now and when we remember those moments, we just laugh because it was very stupid, but well we were just children!
