Memoirs are a form of personal recollection that has grown enormously in popularity in recent times. Memoirs often focus on more subjective recollections such as memories, feelings, and emotions and are generally written from the first-person viewpoint. The memoir is often focused on capturing certain meaningful highlights or moments.
Memoirs usually focus on a brief period of time or a series of connected events (an autobiography covers a longer time period). In a memoir, the writer is usually retrospective, and contemplating past events. Lastly, writing one's memoir often has a therapeutic effect for the writer.

My Beloved Pets
ResponderEliminarI want to tell you about my loved pets that I have had in my life. Since I was a little girl I was taught by my parents to take care of and respect animals. I remember that I grew up with cats and dogs, these were my loved pets. Actually, I remember very well my dog Chapolin, it was little and had a blonde fur. He really liked to sleep with us at night and it always followed us wherever we went. He died when it was seven years old. After him I had a cat but I don not remember him very well, I only remember that it was spoiled and liked to be inside and outside the house. The next pet was Daisy, it was a beautiful cat with a long, white and black fur. She loved clams very much and asked us for these almost three times per day. At the age of twelve, she died from Cancer, it was really a pity. At that moment we decided not to have more pets because we missed her a lot, but one day, after three years, I found a baby cat in front of my house, it was so little that I took her gave a short shower and fed it because it was really hungry and dirty. Now she is one year old, her name is Pelusa, she has a short and tabby fur. If I had to describe her, I would have to say that she is very clean, playful and crazy, this latter because she runs inside the house from one side to another, trying to catch you, when you are walking. She enjoyed playing hide and seek with me. Pelusa is very nice and make me laugh very much. All people at home love her.

ResponderEliminarMY DEAR GRANDPARENTS
ResponderEliminarI want to tell you about my grandparents who have been very important in my life.
I remember that every Sunday we went to their house and we used to eat a delicious meal called “cazuela”, which my grandfather used to cook, I also remember; when my cousins and me used to play in the square in front of their house were our children play now.
I remember too, when I was a child, my grandfather always was sitting in the balcony of the house and he was able to see every pranks that we were doing, this was very funny because my cousins and I were very naughty.
They always said that the whole family have to be really close, and they achieved it very well, for that reason one day my grandfather told us that he bought a big house for all the family in the south of Chile, this house is located in front of a beautiful lake were every summer my uncles, cousins, parents and sisters went there and enjoy very much.
This house still exists and we go there every summer but now we go with our husbands and our children and we have never had problems between ourselves and we always said that this house was the best idea that my grandfather had.
Last month was the last party that my grandmother was, this party was her birthday, she was 90 years old and she was very happy and the last thing that she said was that she loves us very much.
They are with God now, my grandfather died 2 years ago and my grandmother died last week and we are very sad for that, but at the same time, very happy and grateful because they have created a beautiful family that will always remember them.
They will be always in my heart.
My Hollidays in the south
ResponderEliminarOne of the things that I really like is the south of Chile. The beatiful song of the birds and the fresh air, for my is fantastic.
One of my best vacations was some years ago. I went to the south of Chile with some friends: Victor, Emiliano y Elson.
We met in Puerto Montt the first week of february; each of us was very happy for seen the rest . Inmediately we started to looking for a bus witch can take us to Chiloe. The trip trough the Canal de Chacao was amazing. We could see some dolphins, felt the freezed air and the expectacular view.
After the amazing travel , we found a little camping in Ancud, witch is located in the middle of the island. That place was our base.
Everyday we went to different places; eating, drinking and enjoying the hospitality of the people whose live there..
We visited many different places; such as Dalcahue, Chonchi, Quinchao and their old churches; all of them made completely of Wood.
After a week in the island, we returned to Puerto Montt. We spent one day in that place. After a day in that city, we decided to go to Frutillar for fishing and swimming. I love fishing, and my friends too.
We arrived to Frutillar and we could not believe the great beauty of that place; old houses, big green squares, many old and huge trees, and the people, all of the poeple were very kind with us. And last but not least: The wonderful Lago Llanquihue. Its was very calm like the day in wich we arrived there.
Everything was perfect. We spent the time fishing every day in the morning and at noon, we swam for two or three hours…nothing more relaxing.
My friends and I spent five days in this place, swimming and visiting different places. After that, we decided to go to Osorno. And one specific place for visiting : “Lago Puyehue”.
That place is famous because its huge barbacues, delicious cheeses and the great variety of good wines.
Of course we had some barbacues at night, next to the lake.
We visited “Termas de Puyehue”, an amazing place. We found a huge swimming pool with hot water and differents routes for the people whose want to walk around the park.
After a bath on the hot swimming pool, we walked around the forest, watching and enjoyng the beauty of that place. On top of the hill, we found an espectacular view of the whole lake; everything blue, in contrast with the green of the forest…i took some photos for my album..I have them on my room.
I really enjoyed that vacations, I hope to come back some day again..
My decision to be a professional
ResponderEliminarIt’s hard sometimes to start writing about myself. I think there are events in my life that are important, and some are not. But part of the important and relevant events in my life are related to my studies
I’m Claudia Etcheverry and I’m working as a secretary in a bilingual private school to pay my studies.
I was a good student when I was in the school. It was a religious school with a lot of rules, but it wasn’t a problem for me, I had good behavior.
It was hard for me to get in the university, because I wasn’t sure about what I want to do with my life, so I worked for a year as a sales person in a baby clothes store to make some money to start my studies when I decide what I want. It was a good experience for me , my first job.
I always knew that I like English, so I decided that it was a good idea to study something related to that. Translator was a good profession and it took me three years to get my title. Through the years, I realize that I didn’t want to be translating books and documents all my life, I wanted to do something else.
Last year I got in to Autonoma University to become an English teacher. I think I’m going in the right way now.
Those were some important events in my life. Of course that getting a title is something huge, but I still don’t have my own family, and I would love to have someday. I come from a big family. My grandmother is one of my favorites, she always tells me that she is proud no matter what I do with my life and I wish I could be like her; she is the most amazing person I know.
Thank you.
My son
ResponderEliminarIn 1999 When I had 25 years old, I was in the last year of my first career, my girlfriend also she was in the last year of her career.We hadn´t anything just love.
One day my girlfriend told me that probably she was pregnant, I felt to scare because I didn´t know what would happen with our life.These year was not easy because we might say to our parents I think it was one of thing most difficult that I did, in those days my father in law was stric to as because will we was studing in spite of all we had happened we was happy.
Saturday,17th 2000 He was born,when I saw him It was amazing furthermore I was at hospital in those moments that he was born, his red hairs were like copper his white skin as the milk and his big eyes, he was a beautiful baby in those moment we become a family, after that we finished our career we had looked for a job in spite of that our situation was worst but in a few week I found a work and my girlfriend also and all become better, after 8 month we got married then we began to live together.
During this nine years has been good our son has arrived to be the focus of all our attention, nowadays he go to the school and he is in four grade, he is a very good student, he enjoys play football when I try to describing to my son I feel many beautiful things like emotion, passion and of course love ,to my wife and me he is our treasure because we have just one son, on the other hand in the last 6 years we haven´t could have more children but we trusth on God and just we have to love him.
Hello my name is Angie, the best thing that happened to me today, I met with my bestfriend since a lot time ago, we talked and shared our experiences in this time, was really great!!!. I think the worst thing that happened to me was that I can´t slept yesterday evening, I slept just three hours, son I feel really exhausted, because I worked many hours, after went to the university and then to my home at eleven forty, and have only a few hours for to rest.
ResponderEliminarToday I had many classes and shared with my classmates, and when we are walking to classroom we begin to play, and I felt down on the grass, and hurt my arm, but I felt how if I were at school, I remember and I laugh yet, really nice.
Sometimes I felt a bit angry, because I have few time for to do something, I would like have more time for to do things which really like to me. For example I would like to go a Gym, do exercise, learn a kind of new dance, do yoga may be visit new places in a free time.
When I was a child always remember a teacher of English that I had, he was really important in my life, because for him I could understand, and learn the base of English, a good base, he was always encourage me, and said me, “you can do it, because I saw in you that loves the English language and I f you study hard you will be a very good teacher”, I think never forgot that.
In this school knew one of my bestfriend, but I have more, I guess that during my life have known a lot of kind people, all of them have given to me their really feelings and good things, I can say that I feel really happy with all things that have passed during my life.
I love my family, live with my parents, I have two sisters and a brother, he had two children, obviously my nephew, and nice.

Tom, A Friend Forever
ResponderEliminarTom came into my life in September of 2000. He was 8 weeks old and just a cute bundle of fur. He was an Gray Colored Tabby Kitten. He grew up to be a very sweet kitty with an intelligence and charm that reach far into your heart. He loved to have his chin scratched and at times would nuzzle your hand and put his head under it so you would pet him.
I have never met a cat that was so smart. He was my alarm clock for a very long time. When I studied, he would wait for me outside the door and meow when he heard me arrived.
Tomy loved to lie down on my chest while I watched TV. When it was time to go to bed, I would turn off the TV and say, "Well, Kitty, it's time to go to bed." I would then do my nightly routine, and when I came into my bedroom there he would be lying on his side of the bed. When we went out, he was always waiting for us on the computer table, looking out the door. I would say hi sweet Kitty, and he would jump down and wait by the kitchen door for us to come in.
We even took him on vacation, and he slept in the backseat on his own blanket. People would look at us strangely when we stopped for gas and they would spot him looking out the window. He didn't mind the ride because he was with the three people he loved the most.
Tomyto passed away around 9:40 p.m. on August 20, 2008. He had not been feeling well for about a week. He had been diagnosed with a tumor on his kidney in January. So we took him home knowing he wasn't long for this world. We loved him, hugged him and kissed him until the very end. I looked at him, and I knew he wasn't sneezing he was having a trouble breathing. So I said, "let's take him to my room and put him on the bed". I had a little blanket on the bed that he had been sleeping on. So we lied down with him and said a little prayer, and he took his final breathe lying in between the two of us with me holding his paw and Joe (my boyfriend) petting his head.
It was strange that he left us around the time he and I always used to go to bed. We will never in our lives have another kitty as sweet, as smart or as good as this little guy was. He was the best friend Joe and I had. Whenever we use to have problems, we would talk to him. He was the best psychiatrist we ever had. It is very hard to believe he is not with us. It was so hard to look at him and know he was gone. He looked like he was sleeping so peacefully. We shall remember him until the day we die.
He came into our lives at 8 weeks old and left at 8 years. The time went by so fast. For a small kitty, he was such a large presence in our home, and always let us know he was here. Tom lived such a good, long life with lots of love and lots of kisses. That is the story of gentle, sweet Tom.
The Earthquake
ResponderEliminarLast february 26th, I went to bed exhausted a little bit later than usual, and I fell asleep almost immediately, but suddenly I movement woke me up, and the first thing I thought was that I could get hurt by the things on my shelf, so I stood on my bed and I tried to hold all the things that could get off the shelf.
When the movement stopped, I heard my cousin, he was asking me if I was O.K. and he told me to leave my room and to go to where everybody else was.
Until this moment, I have not realized how serious had been the earthquake, but when I heard on the radio that the epicenter had been between the 7th and 8th Regions I felt like my heart would stopped beating, it was a terrible feeling, and I started to call my family, because my mom, my dad and my little brother live in Curicó and I did not know if they were fine, or if something could have happened to them, but it was impossible for me to call them because all phone lines were collapsed.
I was the entire night trying to phone them or anyone else who could tell me how they were, but nothing happened until about 8 o’clock in the morning, when I got a call from a cousin and I asked him to try to call my mom because I had had no success at that. A moment later he called me back to tell me they all were perfectly fine and I should not worry any more.
After that, I was able to sleep a little but I was still very worried about them. And a couple of hours later, my mom called me and then I felt much better, because I had talked to her.
That was the most stressful and lurid moment I have ever lived.

ResponderEliminarHi everybody, im gabriel and i`m going to write about myself and my fantastic 2009. well at the beginings of the 2009 i took a very important desicion. i decided to travel to new zealand. really i needed it, because i was very stressful and with many personal problems, so i had the possibility to go there. one reason because i went there is for my sister, she lives there, she is 22 years old and she has been living for 2 years. and the other and main reason was practice and improve my english. on 31st of may i took my plane and it was very strange because in new zealand its 16 more hours of difference, so i arrived 2 days later, first i was in auckland but just for one night, during the day i looked for an accomodation and after i went to walk for the city, i took a lot of pictures in many differences places of auckland, one of the most beuatiful place is the sky tower, this tower is too high and many people practice "bungee", and is very common to look people jumping the tower. next day i took another plane, because i had to go to the other island, especifically south island. in the airport was my brother in law waiting for me, it was a very nice moment because i did not see him for 3 years. when arrived to christchurch( chch is the 2nd city most importan to new zealand) we went to know the city and change my american dollars for new zealand( or kiwi) dollars, after that we went to "ashburton", one hour to the south of christchurch, in ashburton lives my sister alejandra, when i arrived to the house, the reunion was too exciting, i gave a big hug to her and i said many words.
During the week i was staying in a holiday park, the holiday park is a place where people rent vans, caravans or bedrooms for a short or long time, is not very expensive, the place where i was staying was fantastic, it had a lake in the middle with a lot ducks and birds swimming, around the park alot of trees and tennis court all of this surrounded of grass, weel i stayed there for 4 days, after that i started to look for an employ, so i travelled with 4 friends of mine for 4 days slleeping inside of the car, it was very unconfortable, we were looking for a job in a dairy farm. Dairy farm works are jobs in the country, working with cows. can you imagine the life in a dairy farm? , well maybe later im going to write about that. after 4 days looking for a job, i decided to separated of my friends and i took a bus to "blenheim". In blenheim changed many things of my life, first i arrived to blenheim and i met with daniela, daniela is a chilean girls friend of my sister and now she is friend of mine of course, well daniela helped me to find a house, the house where i arrived was Lidya`s homestayed, Lidya is a german woman married with silvester a poland man, they were my parents for 4 months and a half.

to be continued.
memories from my childhood
ResponderEliminarMy best memories from my childhood are related to my grandfather, he was the most important person in my life at this time, he was strong, serious and quiet, he didn't have any friends and my aunts and my cousins didn't care him. But we had a good relationship, he loved me and I loved him so much. He was illiterate and in spite of, he dressed me and he passed a comb through my hair and sent me to school everyday.
We always shared the breakfast early in the morning, we drank mate and listened the news on the Cooperativa radio.
In my sixth birthday my grandpa gave me a beautiful dress, it was pink and I was happy with it, I kept it for many years and always remember that gift, he was very affectionate with me.
In the evenings I went out to play with my friends hide and seek, football, hopscotch and many other games in the street and we arrived late at home very tired but happy, I never feel as safe, trusting and pleased as during this period in my life.
My granddad's life was long, he had two wives and seven sons and daughters, but I didn't realized how he grew up, years runs and I grew up too, he stayed with me when I accomplished my goals feeling proud of me.
When I got married he danced and enjoyed with us in the party.
The worse thing that I happened to me was his death. At the age of 84 he left me in a dark and cold day of the year 2002, his last words he said to me the last time we met and even rise his hand and caress my cheek to said good bye calmly and slowly.
The heritage he left me are good memories, his love, his teachings, his perseverance, his taste for work and all the thing that we lived together, our laughts, our pains, our games, our special communication and he is always with me in blood.

Remember, when I was six years old , I lived in a place named Manquehua , in the fourth region.
ResponderEliminarI there was finished my second grade.
That year my dear mother that worked in Santiago, was to visit me, so how did it all the years , but that year was different, due to that her came back with me to Santiago . You dont imagine my happiness , it there was arrived the moment that I always dreamed, can be together my mother.
The first time that I was there , went when was even more child, I cant remember exactly the year.
My mother was living and working in Bilbao at a house like housekeeper.I will be living with her .We traveled about eight hours. when we arrived there , I really found this place the most increible one that I never had known .
As soon as passed the days , she started looking for school , so I continued studying .
She found a great school named Santa Marta , a particular and catholic school.
My first time that was a strange and unfortunatly day the classes , because I was at a small school of the countryside, and this place was wonderful , very great for me .
I was shy, weak, disgraceful and neither was very prepared to be there.I was by a short time there , because my mother changed her job.ohhh thanks god¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Then , in the another place of work , all the things changed. THe next school was similar to the first one , therefore , I feel very comfortable studying there . I believe that never could forget a experience so.....
Bye
My family
ResponderEliminarI had 23 years old when I knew my wife, her name is Carolina Villarroel.
We knew us in the church when both we were participating in the chorus.
Before what we met, I have seen her in more opportunities in fact she was my
Classmate into preuniversitario Cepech.
In Another opportunity we were in the same party but we never
Established to conversation. During the party she had dancing next to me I remember that day.
Some years passed and we started a beautiful relationship after ward we engagement us
And we decided got married.
My wife is special woman, she support me and she has patience, she is my blessing I love her with all my heart.
We know that the decision of marriage is very important we had had many challenges which we had overcome, because we have to learn that we are different persons and our priorities should change after marriage and as a husband or wife our necessities are another.
In 2008 was a great year because was born my son he is part of my happiness his name is Vicente, he is 2 years old, his appearance is very similar to me, furthermore his personality is outgoing, friendly, cheerful, intelligent, funny and naughty.
He loves the cars, fishes, the TV programs such as lazy town tom and jerry and backyardigans, I love him.
I love when I arrived at home and my son shouted father.
I am studying and working but in spite of that I must make an effort for to share time together.
Unquestionably for me the family is the most important organization around the world, in other words there is not success in the life that compensates the failure in the home.
Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities.
to erick: your son plays futbol right.
ResponderEliminarwhat another activities does he like apart of futbol?
WOW! THE BEST MOMENT IN MY LIFE
ResponderEliminarIs not hard to write about my best time in my life.The fact is that,in my lefe trere are tree beautiful moments,that have filled me with much joy and love charm,each has a name.
The first one to call Francisco Javier,the second one to call Benjamin Alonso and the last one to call Santiago Elias.NO doubt that,the birth of my three little men,have been the most beautiful I have lived.
Let me tell you why.These three little guys,have taught me to fight without fail or abandon my way.
Have been since its early days,the biggest in centive for each of the tasks that life has given me and certainly the most precios gift GOD has given me.
MY whole life revolves around my children and loved ones,wich means that,without then,there is nothing in my life,would have meaning.
WOW! Francisco was born,on may 14th 1990,when I was young,that day and that night,did not know much what happened,but wept with joy to have,my firs child in my embers,I watched him day and night of course!,each minute Y fell in love over the baby.
And then,when Benjamin was born,on August 16th 2006 was anything other than what Y felt with my older son,to what Y felt for my baby this morning and finally the least of my treasures,born on August 2nd 2009 without changing the feeling and emotions that Y have described above,I mean the pure love Y have infinity.
Now I want to tell you that."NO EXPERIENCE OR MOMENT SWEETEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE OF MOTHERHOOD AND FIGHTING FOR YOUR CHILDREN".
THE ARE A GIFT FROM GOD LOVE IN ALL ITS MAGNITUDE.
Finally,I would like to say you thet, any time I have had bad,never exceeded under any point of view,my tree best moments.
SO BE IT
AMEN.
Well.... Mauricio my son apart of practice football he plays the guitar. And he enjoys to dance I think he´ll be an artist because he is very sentimental.
ResponderEliminarTo Alejandra: what did you think while the eathquake was happening?
ResponderEliminarPablo:
ResponderEliminarA very good question!!!!!!!!!
People, my clasmates, some of them now my friends, there are a lot nice people here, you can share knowledges, opinios, experiences, and If you have a problem you never will be alone...really the best group of people that I have ever seen before.
the best thing that happend me.
ResponderEliminarI bet most of you, if you have brothers and sisters , have occasionally dreamnt about being a only child. Do those situation sound familiar ? you've just had fight with your younger sister because she borrewed your favourite jeans or he played with your favourite toy ?or if you are the younger and your brother won't let you go on the computer and your parents tell you not to bother them with your silly arguments.. but not always is bad if you have a brother.
For me my brother is the best thing that happend me. My brother's name is Enzo , he is 26 years old , he's me hero , the person who always is by my side, he always protect me and gives me some advices that i make me realize that I'm not alone.he always followed me when i wanted something and later I realized that he followed me because he was worried about me.
But also when i was a child I remember that i wanted to kill him because i wanted all the time that our parents give us just for me, or when he could go out with his friend and i stayed at home.But with the time i understood that he has been in all the events that happened to me , the most important such as : my graduation , in moments when i feel bad , when i need love or just when I feel alone.
So, although some people think that a brother is not necessary in their life, i think and i'm sure that a brother is the best thing that could happened me in my life and in the life of all of us.
Universitary life
ResponderEliminarSince I entered to the university in 2007, one of the worst things in my life is getting up early. I think that if I don't give the best of me at university is because I'm always tired and sleepy. Universitary life is complicated if I have to wake up at 6.30 in the morning, go to the university, study there until 5 o'clock, do the homeworks and study at home until 3 in the night if I have any test the next day.
Moreover, I have to live my life as a young.
This way of living affects my body, my health, and I can show sometimes an insupportable appearance during the day. All of this I must add that I don't lunch good sometimes.
As a young, in my opinion I need more time to spend with friends and for doing things that I like to do in my freetimes, or maybe I'm a person who is always thinking about sleeping and having fun with friends.
A MEMORY FROM CHILDHOOD
ResponderEliminarI`m lucky to say that I had a very beautiful childhood.
Despite being an only child and having separated parents, my mother gave me everything I wanted.
The two of us, my mother and I, lived with my grandparents and my uncles in a huge house.
There was a big house in the front, where my grandparents used to live. Then, there was two indoors apartment in the back, where we used to live.
With my uncles also lived my cousin Felipe.
We spent a lot of fun times together, because we were the only children in the house. He was one year younger than me. I say "HE WAS" because he died seven years ago.
He was eighteen.
We played all existing games, we went on vacations together, we did everything together. I never felt alone, not with him.
We lived there until we were fifteen years old because his family bought an apartment in the neighboardhood.
Some years later, my mother bought an apartment, therefore were had to go.
I never really liked the new apartment. It was smaller and we were only the two of us.
But fortunately, my cousin lived at one block from my new house, so we started to go parties and going out with friends.
We never stopped seeing eachother.
In fact, when we finished high school, we entered the same university. I studied Music and he studied Physical Education, but only for one semester, because in that time he had the accident.
It is very odd for me to remember him, because I tried for so many years to block my mind and forget that awful feeling of his death and I realized that he is still here in my heart and in my memories.
Good memories I have to say.
The truth is that my memories of my childhood are beautiful, but buried, because I want to start to make new memories, including my children who make my life exciting and happy.

ResponderEliminarMy dear husband
ResponderEliminarWere the best holiday in my life, I met new people,Had a good time with my friends, and a very special person, only a friend until January 27th, Wednesday evening,when he asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend. I was in a beautiful beach, full of people, all kind of people, argentiian, american, brasilian, etc, from different countries, the sea was in calm, the weather was wonderful, all were perfect. I stayed all day and every day in the beach, in the evenings, went to home, took a relax shower, I dressed acording night, my boyfriend picked me up, and went, everyday to different places, pubs, discoteques, beaches, etc., we had lot of things to do, and lot of places to visit.All mornings, afternoons, evenings and nights were funny, we traveled arround beaches, rivers, mountains and countrisides, was an amassing summer, but the best thing was stayed with my love. I met him when I was 10, he was the same age, at the begining we were enemies, i liked him but I never said him, seven years later, we started a good friendship. Since 1997, I went all my holidays to the south, I loved my friend, there I had family, but I went only for a reason, he. Now he became in the most important person after my parents and my brother.Unfortunately,he lived so far, and my life was completely different, I studied at the university, I worked in a big company, I ran all day, and I didn´t have time for our relationship, and he always demanded me, something that I couldn´t gave him, so when the time paased (a year), I thought that was the end of this love, he didn´t call me, he didn´t send me messages, and we lose the daily contact. Suddenly, one day,occured something that I didn´t expect,June 10th,Friday night, he arrived to my home, in his hands, two suitcases, he have decided came to Santiago to live, for me, for our love, I was the happiest woman in the world, I knew and undestood that when you realy love somebody, nothing is impossible. November, 27th, 2001, we got married, so far, we have a beautiful marriage and we are happy.
There was the more deppresing day in my life, this night and next morning was the most long and slow that I could remember. This night was on 27th February, 2010.
ResponderEliminarThe night before earthqueke my sister and I arrived to may flat. We were very tired however, she decided to prepare something to dinner. This moment was very special, normal and tranquil, we talked for a moment and laugh when we talked about past memories. After that both went to bed because I was very tired and I needed to slep, dispite that my sister was watched TV. We never thought or imagined this could happeen.
While I was sleping my sister was awake and about 03:30 she came to my bedroom and she said... Paola was tremble...I answered that was normal after taht she leaved but, she returned and she said again...Paola was trembled immediately I stand up but in this moment the earthqueke started. I request to my sister that she moved near to the door. The movement was very strong and intense everythings was in the floor.
On the other hand, the sound was horrible and while my sister only cried I started to pray, I wanted the movement stopped but this was endless.
When the movement finished we go out from the building we were in shock...we were along... in this moment we thought in our family that live in the south, we want to be with all of them. Just the next wednesday we saw them and this day was the most important and happy in my life.
In holidays
ResponderEliminarIt was a summer day, when two friends and I decided to take three weeks on holidays.
We wanted to go to one of the most wonderful and mystical Island of this country,
"Chiloe Island".
Now I think I made the best decision of my life..........
February 9 we got up early morning and prepared our bags and then we went to the Island by
truck, actually it was a great adventure!
Loreto, my friend didn´t tell the truth to her parents, She said them She would be in Carolina´s
house in Rancagua, my friend Paty recently had split up with her boyfriend and She felt so sad,
and I was so excited about the trip, because I had never been there before. I only was thinking
about to arrive on the Island, so it would be my first time there and that would be fantastic!
During that holiday we met diferent kind of people, they were very nice people full of kindness.
The firt woman We met was Mrs María, She had a big house near by the beach, She rented us
a bed-room. We were three friends, and only one bed-room was perfect for us.
Mrs María always cooked delicious meal, but the best was sea food.
The second person We met was Hugo, who was in excile in Sweden, but in that moment he had come back to Chile and all his family was from Chiloe.
We went to diferent places, and really had a good time!

ResponderEliminarMY BEST FRIEND
I am so lucky to have her and i couldnt live without her.Its hard to find a friend
like that, without her i would not be as happy as i am now.Through good and bad times, im positive that forever we will still remain friends.
She helps me through my toughest time and is there for my best times.either she helps me pick out what and what not to buy! together we are un stoppable. We also help each other with university work, family and friends problems.its hard to find a friend like that,we have so many inside jokes that nobody would understand unless they were there or if they were just us! but toghether we make them funny and get a good laugh out of it.
Our friendship is so strong that we cant get trhough anything, she also knows all my expressions and how i sound when im hyper,frustrated, depressed, annoyed or happy for this reason i love my mum!.

ResponderEliminarCHILDHOOD MEMORIES
Childhood memories are speacial for everyone, i have a very happy memory of my childhood and always reminsce with nostalgia.
i lived with my father, mother and two sisters, i have very fun memories of us sisters playing on our backyard, climbing trees to pluck fruits, going to parks, beaches and enjoyng life in general.
Some of the great memories in my childhood were during pre-school, i had a lot of friends we all played together hide and seek, cops and robbers etc..
Further i would always remeber my grandparents spoiling. They always arrive at our house with presents and sweets, all wrapped up and beautiful looking. they would never give me mine if i dont sing to them!
while you are a child would always only remember the good things in life, only later would remember the bad.
