IN MY COUNTRY MEXICO


If young couples in my country want to get married, they usually first get the permission of their parents, even though they are really sure of what they want, it is a custom to tell them.

The way this permission is asked is by making a reunion with the girlfriend's and boyfriend's families where they meet each other, then the future lucky one, "the boyfriend" asks permission for getting married to the girlfriend's parents, at the moment his petition is well received, he gives to his girlfriend an engagement ring as a showing of love and compromise.

After that, they have a dinner where the families start to socialize and plan the coming wedding.

Nowadays, it is usual that the bride and groom pay the reception, but then the honeymoon is a wedding gift from the broom or sometimes someone gives it as a present.

Finally, after the couple celebrated the wedding, they have to begin the kind of life style as a married couple, the husband offers to his wife a place to live and build up their marriage with full of hopes.

There was a man

who loved a girl

and he could not see her face to face,

he always got nervous

and you can see what I mean

because he had a fusion of confusion,

the only thing he could

it was seeing her in pictures,

but he could not say

what he felt.

That is why I always think

a poem could be the best to express ourselves,

most of the people do not know well how to write

something special to that significant other,

but it is just letting yourself take the inspiration

from your heart

and I will respond in a beauty way like a poem.
Written by Jorge Estrada

I have found a dream,

but not an ordinary one,

this is just the heaven

I had been looking for it

a long time ago.


Now I see you

like my angel of the dreams,

I have not seen so much beauty

since I saw my eyes' mom.


Today it is a wonderful day

and a marvelous world,

then my heart beats

by the time I hear your steps,

my waiting has finished

and my soul is full of happiness.


I just want to hold you

till the last days of our lives,

I just want to get older next to you

and I do not want to wake up

of this beautiful dream.

I'm sitting on the deck of a boat

gazing around my loneliness,

thoughts of you have come

in the cold breeze of this cloudy afternoon,

the river is a long way

and I can see the bridge away

which is a beautiful sight of an entrance to heaven,

the constant blowing air is forming small waves

that are hitting softly my place.


An old tree branch is floating near the non-fancy boat

and a black duck is loitering around it,

suddenly the sky is darkening,

it seems like if it is about to turn colder.


What a day, what an afternoon,

without yout it is not the same,

my heart is not beating like yesterday,

you always give me that warm hug that I need,

you my first and last,

you my baby, my reason

and everything,

the waiting is exhausting,

but very worthy,

an unvaluable price

that men crave to have it,

though I am the lucky one.


Written by Jorge Estrada

Silence in the night,

empty in my place,

all I need is far so far from me,

quietly I sob beneath the full moon,

waiting for the encounter,

waiting is exhausting,

but I do not give up until

my soul is rewarded

with my pretty baby.


That day and night,

the think of you

comes up to my mind,

beautiful moments that

are hard to forget,

for you I give all my love

and without you there is no sun,

you are the inspiration for every song.

A daughter asked to her mother "Mother, how will I be when I grow up? will I be pretty? will I be rich? what will I be? what is the future expecting for me?" and her mom replied "It does not matter how pretty you will be or if you will be rich, but what really cares is what you want for your life and make a kind of plan to get your dreams, because being pretty does not long forever and money is not everything, perhaps you can get what you want by this, but you will realize you feel an emptiness that could be fulfilled by other better things than money". Thus, the little girl do not say any word of this to her mother until she got married and thanked her for this advice.

The daughter said after the wedding "Thank you, mother, for the advice you gave me when I was four, it has helped me in some way to feel confident in who I am", the mother did not have any idea of what she was talking about, but then her daughter gave her a hint of this " I recall when I asked you what would I be when I grew up " then the mother put her arms around her daughter crying and saying "Look at you, now you are married, time has passed so fast for me, but I have been having a good time raising you, you have been a good girl who I am very proud of. The only thing I ask you it is that you keep this learning forever and spread it to your kids by showing a good behaving in life"

Just a tale

Tom is a college guy who rented an apartment close to his University, but this place looked quiet, that is why he decided to live there while he was studying, his parents supported him, they were wealthy, so he did not have to worry about sharing the apartment with a stranger.
After the first long school day, Tom was so tired that he did not have the chance to spend too much time in his apartment,thus he hit the sacks so early.
In the very midnight a loudy slam of a door woke him up, Tom was so sure that he had left all the windows shut, so then he stood up and checked what was going on, but he did not find anything, so he thought that it was nothing to care about.
He continued sleeping for a while when he felt a chill that woke him up again immediatly. He opened his eyes and looked around his room, but he did not see anything, suddenly he saw that shadows were creeping into his bed, he was shivering too much, the shadows were getting closer and closer, so in a quick reaction he stood up and ran for his life in underpants.
This was the only and last night Tom stayed in that apartment and he decided to sleep in the college dorms with some strangers well known as roomies.
Weeks later, he told his roomies the experience he had in that apartment and one of them told him that he was also in that place before and that it happened the same, but then he researched about the apartment and he realized a woman with his lover were found there dead.

The sunshine comes through the window with lots of beam of hope for you. Then you see out the sky and clouds, big and small, are above.

The flowers in the garden are so beautiful with mixed colors. There is a great population of bugs going on differents roads, suddenly, you notice you are among them and that you are the smallest one, but something excites you to be bigger than the bigger ones, be happier than the others.

Sometimes, the days turn gray and little black, then rain falls down, but you never give up.

You have got the guts to achieve the no-written sheet of paper, you think there will not be tomorrow and you got to do it right now, because you are what you want, what you try, what you have done.

Fun at the lagoon




Hello folks! now I show you what we did, our friends and my girlfriend in a cloudy beautiful Sunday, when the sky announced that it was about to rain, but hopefully it did not.
This last Sunday we had some much fun at the Laguna del Carpintero where the alligator "Juancho" threatened us by the lagoon's borders, but we were so smart and we did not get closer to this little fella.
You must be wondering what we were doing that afternoon.
Well, on Friday we decided to do something different in our weekend by doing this meeting, so we organized to see us at the Unidad Deportiva, but only Kesia, my girlfriend Carmen and I were there on time, and then few minutes later Juan José arrived to the encounter.
We were so excited for this meeting, we had some ideas of what we would do that afternoon, the main activity was taking creative pictures and everyone brought a camera, so we started the photograph party.
But before doing that, we called Paola, because she had not arrived yet, she answered her cellphone and she told Carmen that she was going to be late, so she said that we should wait for her in the lagoon, but in what part of the whole lagoon? we wondered and even Carmen asked her, but she only said "We see you at the lagoon". Therefore, we started to walk ahead the lagoon, meanwhile, Paola was about to take the bus to meet us.
Pictures and pictures, we took pictures, much of them were so funny, I know we are not professionals, but that we did not care, we were just having fun and in the middle of our way to the heart's lagoon, I mean, the park where all the families got together to have a peaceful picnic, we saw Paola coming to us with her arms extended hoping to give a big hug, and she did, she gave to all of us a big friendly hug. Then, we continued our activity of taking creative and nonsense pictures.
Finally, after a happy afternoon, we had to said goodbye, but the remembrance remained in our hearts and in some pictures.
