Weather affect everything around us

How weather affects everything around us is something special sometimes we can feel happy to see a sunny day and we can feel gloomy, in a rainy day.  I remember the days I use to be a kid when a rainy day sucks and you couldn’t go out was the worst that can happen, but sometimes getting wet and to jump in the rain was something out of league.  One of the things that happen a lot is when you wake up expecting to see a nice weather because you are planning to have a trips or going out and is can be ruin by a simple rain. The weather in my country is perfect not to hot not to cold is the temperature that all countries would like to have, but sometimes disasters come and ruin everything. I remember when I was a little kid and my family counting ants an uncle’s. Rent  a house in the beach, so the house was already pay I  and we were so happy to go, but something happen, a tropical storm name Mitch affect almost all Guatemala. The house that we were going  was without some walls and places from the house was not there anymore. We have paid already the house so we decide to go. We have to sleep without ceiling and one wall, and the bathroom was without wall it was so funny how the vacation changes completely. I think in a way the vacation changes for good and not how we expected it would be. If I would have the chance to repeat  that vacations I would do it because that experience join more the family. In that exact vacation I learn to swim I was so excited that I finally can swim without the help of my mom or my uncles.
                The first time I saw snow was when I have two years it was incredible the only thing I want to do is touch it and play with it this was one of my first experience to a new weather and in a new country.i never been out of Guatemala to me everything was new even the people mood was different. They say that in places with hot weather the people is more angry because his blood is always hot, but that is only a rumor. In that winter in New York they were expecting to have a large amount of snow. When I wake up to see in the window was all covered with snow all that I can see was white in every surrounding; was a complete different weather. The first thing do that time was to run outside to feel that environment it was something especial you feel a feeling so fresh and cold, even the smell of the morning was different.
They are some activities that you can only practice in some weather like in the beach you expected to have a sunny day to do wake boarding, or to have a calm place to practice surf. I remember the first time that ashes from the volcano affect the city I was like 4 years old and to play with my car on it was something different spectacular I have my Tonka’s so I feel like I was an engineer. The best thing from that time it rain ashes was that I don’t have to clean nothing, but in the last time, one year ago, the ashes affected the city again I have to clean almost two days without stopping. At the beginning I was really surprise and happy to se something like this again but when I wake up at the next day the only thing I think is that cleaning all that ashes will be a difficult task. The worst thing is that before that incident a storm came with ashes and rains making it harder to shove the ashes because it was wet and heavier. Some of the consequences that these naturals’ disasters can bring are dead because people near the volcano lost their their homes in consequence of the disaster. Other thing that is interesting how whether change depending the place you are, because when I went to the jungle in Tikal the first time you can the wind that blowing you almost away. When I get In the middle  of the jungle the wind was so strong you can feel so disorientated and in the middle of nowhere. Every place is a complete different weather having his pros and cons, just make a good experience and try to have fun on it and never let you a simple rain and a bad weather turn off your day.

An important person in my life

                I would talk of a person who I been admire long time ago and is my godfather he is and excellent example in my life he is like my father. This man is strong and always try to show my  a figure of a man that can handle everything and that the word I can’t is not on his vocabulary. When you see him you can see a person that at his 65 years haven’t given up and want to see all his grandsons as successful persons in this society. He have surpass two heart attacks that let him only with the 10 percent of his heart working. He shows me in this case that life couldn’t stop and things happen for a reason you have to keep going and never feel tired to discovered new things. He always shows me what is important in life thought his experience he, show that the good things are the one you fight for it. He is the best grandfather he wants to spend a lot of time with me and that in the future I would be like him. He want always that I dress like him ,comb my hair like him, but I always refuse to it because I he dress like and old person but he only wants the best for me and that what make him special.  He an awesome person full of love and great values. He always mention my father and try to let me know that he educate a great man, and that I have to be like him; its great because I know that all that he do is for reason. He smell so fresh full of joy. When I try to imagine how his smell is I can imagine what I feel when I am behind him and all what we have share. He is a person who have suffer a lot after losing a son he have become a person who drinks alcohol in an incontrollable way. He destroy all happy birthday that I have he appear drunk. I always have the hope to see him like a normal person, and I know that what he has passing through was something that was uncontrollable to him and was killing him. He can pass to be a great person without a drink on it; to be a person completely different. I cannot drink because I have notice how he destroy his life, and how he was killing himself.
                I have love him always I could not imagine my life without him. He demonstrated me that I have to be strong and surpass every single obstacle that life present no matter if is easy or not. He loves to travel, and to pass time with me and my brother. He always says that sharing time with the persons he loves and appreciated is what important in his life now he is old. My older sister put him a nickname that have been passing through all this years and is “bito”. All the family call him like this. Bito is something special for my and the only thing I want is that he would be proud of me. One of the things that he conceder important now that he is old is to travel and get to know all the world; to discovered new things, and new cultures and I been waiting to do the same thing. One day I ask him why he doesn’t  buy a new car and he tell me that he have get to a part of his life that he found that something more important; and I ask him that what was that thing so important and he tell me travel. When he tell me that I get to realize that was true and that when I get to that point in my life I would spend my life traveling. An anecdote I remember is when we went to Cancun together he was awesome he was trying I get in the club and that I have a good time he pay my everything so we share a good time together. He saw so happy and full of happiness we laugh together all the time. I think the confident we have is what made our friendship so big. I am so happy that he stop drinking and he is now more happy than ever. He lost a lot of things, more things that are even more valuables.  that its make him so special that he realize that life could give bad thing, but in other way can make stronger and a better person.

Some of my Childhood events

                I have several events in my mind that I could tell you. I remember plenty of things others couldn’t remember; in relation to others my childhood was really different from others because I use to live with my mom and my grandmother because my dad before I was born disappear and never went back. I think that he was kidnapped I couldn’t think he living us alone. in one part of my live I feel like I was the dad of the house and with a big responsibility of taking care of my twin brother. The first day of school was in a nursery I have one year and half that nursery was call “Los Enanitos” it was really fun. I used to say I have a girlfriend whose nickname was Tina. One of the persons who is really part of my life is my grandfather, the dad of my dad, he take responsibility as my dad in some aspects he is a great person full of good advises and great thing to share with me and my brother. He always wants that I would be like him. He get mad because sometimes I don’t like the things he gave me because he used it. He was the person that make me eat hot sauces because he say that if we eat a Chiltepe we will earn 5 Quetzales, I was really excited to win some money, but I always cry in consequence of the hot sauces. Me and twin brother, Miguel, we are the best friends when we were little we play toys for hours or play like if we were super heroes.
                My first trip was to New York where my grandfather and my uncles live, I was 2 years and half, it was really excited we went to a lot of places, but the worst thing is that we have to walk to much; my brother and me we were so tired but we keep going all the time. I was so impressed of the big of the buildings because was my first experience out of my country. We went also to Niagara Falls I remember it was snowing and it was so cold. In this trip get to know snow and in each site I see snow I get to play I was so excited of seen something that I never see in my country. My first trip to Disney Florida; I fell so happy. When went down of the airplane I was asking if I would see Mickey.  I went that time only with my grandfather days after we get to Kissimmee Florida my mom get to the hotel we where staying that time I was so happy because I have my mom by my side and I would see Mickey. The day we get to the park I don’t sleep the night before, I just to see Mickey and his friends. That year we went to all the parks in Florida I was so happy to tell my friends in Guatemala, it was like a dream for a kid in that moment. I remember we take a picture in Epcot to be for the rest of the life in a plaquette. My best friend when I was little was name Ernesto we play all the time I tried to finish my homework so quickly to go and play. His family became part of my life to I don’t need to knock the door I only say like I am here family and I went in the house, but friends change and he made new friends and we separate. My best girlfriend in that time was name Alessandra she was awesome we make so much things I have so much confident with her; she is 2 years older than me but we feel like if we were brothers. I would like to get to the old times when life was easier and you don’t have to worry of anything just play and sleep. The time where you can eat everything without getting fat or having a grains  in the face when eating candies and chocolate was part of a healthy diet, and when you get tired someone have to carried you or when you get hungry you would get food fast. Remember to live your life as best at you can, and to have fun in what remains of life.
