My new Friend... Tobby

I remember this day like “the best day of my life”, because we have a new friend, my little dog. On October, 25^th, 2003 my parents went out and bought my sister and I a dog. We didn’t know it and at 9:00 am that day we received a call of my father, in which he said to us “look out through the window”, and my sister and I run like if we were in a marathon and we looked out through the window and we saw a pretty little white thing, when we first saw him, we think he was a rabbit because it was too little and he only jump.

That house was big and we have a big backyard and my little dog was always running around the house, and when he goes inside the house he always went upstairs and laid down his body on my sister’s bed because he was tired and exhausted.

His name is Tobby and he is eight years old. We always celebrate his birthday on October 25^th and we give him steak for dogs like his present. We know he is getting older and older and a couple of days ago he started to be sick, vomiting, and he is sleeping all the day. Tobby is French puddle and is medium size.

The things I hate about Tobby is that he doesn’t love me the way I love him. He loves my sister too much and he always sleeps with my sister on her bedroom. I had tried to sleep with Tobby sometimes but he walks around the bed and I can’t sleep very well because him. Tobby always get mad when I sleep with my sister.

Tobby is my first dog. When I was four years old my father gave my sister a dog, which my sister called Piti, but I didn’t like Piti at all. She always scared me because she was taller than me and I felt like if she could eat me. Three years later my father gave away Piti, so I was very happy because Piti can’t scare anymore.

In all my life I had a lot of experiences with Tobby sometimes I totally love him, but sometimes I hate him because of the things he do. When he was little my father punished him with a Prensa Libre paper and Tobby was always crying. My daddy is the only one who gives human food to Tobby, so Tobby already know that daddy will going to him some food.

I always wanted a dog, and maybe Tobby wasn’t the way I imagined my dream dog but I love him, he makes me laugh and he is always besides me when I cry. I think protect us of any noise. I want to have Tobby for all my life, I know that could be impossible but I think he is the only dog I would love so much. 

Weather Changes

Sometimes weather can change our mood, attitude and our special and important moments, but while I was writing this I think about it, and that is just a psychological thing.

How many times have you wanted the best birthday of your life? Well I do. Many times I have made my birthdays outdoors, and when I woke up there is a great sun, orange with yellow and a blue sky and then in a few hours I see through my window and the sky is gray, with black clouds. My mood and my attitude completely changed and all thanks to the weather. This is not just on birthdays, this can happen on a normal day.

On Sunday, May 8, 2011 was a very boring day, had lots of rain and the whole sky was cloudy. This day my mood completely changed. This was one of those days where the weather is changing your way of seeing things. I was in my blue room, lying on my bed wearing a red blouse, jeans and heels, waiting for my parents to tell me ¨We are going to Pradera¨ or just ¨We are going out¨, but that day, they decided to stay home and sleep.

I was angry, bored and disappointed because we were going to stay at home. At that moment I decided to get my pijama and wore it, and I closed my door, take my Ipod and listened to Orianthi music and turn off all the lights. What would you do in my shoes?

I made an analogy of the birthday and how was the weather of the day to our normal days, or the common days because we always have this difficult changes of mood that we can´t explain, but if you start thinking of how the weather can change your attitude you may say that is a silly thing and you might be agree with what I said, that it is a psychological thing.

I'm always in a bad mood when the day start with too much sun and the day is hot and also when the day is very rainy, but I´m trying to change this weird changes.

What can you do if the day is not the best one for you? God made the day the way he wanted, and you have to enjoy the opportunities he always gives you. 

Who is behind that face?

 At the moment we see someone for the first time; we all think something about that person whether good or bad. Some people tend to misjudge and others are not swayed by appearances. Everyone has a different point view of each one of us, but I think none of us has the right to judge another person without really knowing him or her. She, the woman with whom I had a bad first impression, was the cousin of the man I liked. There were days in which he told me that she was saying bad things about me, of course I did not like what he said and from that moment I did not like her at all.

I remember the day I saw her for the first time, we were in eighth grade and I was sitting on the desk against the wall talking to Maria Renee. After a while, I heard Jose Carlos saying: ¨ Come in, do not be afraid, and someone came in and said: ¨ Hi ¨. I turned around and answered · Hello, without realizing who that person was. I kept talking to Maria Renee and then I asked her if that girl happened to be Jose Carlos´s cousin and she said that in fact she was.

At the moment I saw her, I thought many things. One of the things that came to my mind was: What is she doing here? ¨ I really did not like her but it was mostly because I always felt that she looked at me with disgust and hate all the time. We hadn’t had the chance to get to know each other, but she was not willing to talk to me and neither was I.

 There were moments in which I thought there was no way she could be Jose Carlos´s cousin because they seemed to be so different and I even thanked God that we did not get to be in the same section since I was in section B and she was in section A. Several days passed and then it happened. It was recess time, my friend Mariam used to wait for me outside my class every day so we went out together, but this time she was waiting for me with someone else; she was with Maria Andree. I was like: Oh my God, I CAN´T BELIEVE IT!, my face was so obvious that they could know what was I thinking.

Days passed and Mariam was still going out to recess with Maria Andree, I was definitely not satisfied with that going on but there was nothing I could do about it. I used to be jealous because now there was this friend who got to spend more time with Mariam than I did. Sometimes I even felt excluded from their conversations because since they were together in the same section, they laughed at things and I did not even know what they were talking about. I think this was another factor that influenced very much in what I thought of her or felt about her.

Months passed and Maria Andree and I got to spend a lot of time together. I started to change my mind about her. We had incredible moments and those are moments which I will never forget. After a year I realized that Maria Andree was not the person I thought she was. She is a very outgoing, loving, reliable and positive person.

After all we've been through; we have a very nice friendship of which I am glad to have. Throughout our friendship we have had to get over some stupid fights and things like that. Lately we have been really distanced from each other, but now I have decided I want to regain her trust and the friendship we had before. I never thought we could get to be this close. She is one of the many people I know who has put me through incredible moments.

Now I realize that it is wrong to judge people without actually gotten to know them because most of the time we are wrong about people. We just get carried away by appearances and not actually by who they really are. 

A Change in my Life

He is a great person from my point of view. I consider him like my best friend. He has gone through many tough situations like me and he always have been next to me, that´s why I consider him an important person. I've known him 6 years ago but had never managed a friendship as I have now since 3 years ago.  His name is Renatto and he is 19 years old, his skin color is brown, he is a responsible person, dependable and a great friend. He is a person who is not in the highest level of society and yet he has everything he always wanted. He is a simple person, honest, the most positive person I've ever met in my life, a person who does not care about others says about him, and he has an incredible personality ... always in a great mood and if I am sad he is always making me laugh and make me feel better.

I could not say how he smells like, but the first time we met he smells like a Trident gum. I've always believed that he smells differently depending on his mood. Nowhere he is a different person. He is one of the few people I know who could say he is  the same here, there, any place where he is. Many people change according to with or where they are, but like I said he is not that kind of person. Renatto has a very good personality, always kind and friendly, either early morning or night he is in a good mood, sometimes a little busy. I consider him a very important person in my life because I have learned many things in life with him, following him as a friend make me had a better point of view of life. In every situation I had been through he had always helped me to see the positive side of it. It is always difficult to understand why God allows things to happen that we get hurt and we don´t like, and my best friend is always there to tell me that what happens is the best for me and everyone around me, and always gives me hope and help me to have faith.

He is a person I admire greatly and who is always serving God; for this reason I can say that he means a lot to me, and thanks to him I could get closer to God. I want to keep this friendship forever, but lately has been very difficult to communicate us because he is very busy with the University, but I know he will always be there to support me and help me every time. He has left many good memories in me.
