A funny thing happened last friday.
I was in my boyfriend´s house last Friday, when my mother called me for go to a grocery store. We went to the Exito and we bought hydrating body lotion, shampoo, wine, lip gloss, meat, fruit, vegetables, splash and bread. We got back to the house, so we brought the market and organized.
Later Felipe called me, for pick me up and I accepted, but I said him that more later, because I had to do a invoice for my father.
Then a few minutes later, my boyfriend went pick me up and he said, “he found a baby dog”, but he gave it to the watchful and I was too sad, because I wanted it for me. We went to seek the watchful, but he didn´t had a dog.
After that we went to the mall to eat ice cream and we watched a movie. We got home very late, when we saw the watchful was in my boyfriend´s house with our neighbor.
We got scared and we hid, because we remember that the neighbor had a dog just similar .We did not know how to explain to her what had happened with the dog. We felt so ashamed.
Finally, the neighbor found its the dog and it was the same that my boyfriend had find.

MY HISTORY
One day a funny thing happened, a university friend was
getting married. I was in Barranquilla, I traveled to Valledupar to go to
marriage. If you travel from Barranquilla to Valledupar, it usually takes 4
hours but it took me more than 8 hours, therefore I arrived too late. When I
arrived at house, I was confused and not sure of the ceremony place.
I went in my father's car and when I arrived to the
cathedral this was very crowded. I listened all the ceremony and the people who married
were not my friends. I went to the other cathedral but when I arrived “oh my
god” everyone all went.
I went to party place and ate the food, after I
offered an apologize. I was so embarrassed!

Some day, the Cruise was Curacao Island. We went know the island and we went shopping and everything was very cheap. Also, We went to the beach, this was a beatiful day. Then, we decided to ride a jet ski and enjoyed a lot this. We forgot that we had to come back the boat and when,we remembered we had half an hour late. We ran and ran because we were very worry and thought that We had left the boat.
When, we returned to the boat, the people said "run run..." because they were closing the doors. this was embarrased but then, we laughed a lot.
I was really scared!!!
My boyfriend and me arrived at our house after of the party. My house was very big and large, also it was very dark. I'm afraid of the dark. Well, we needed undress, but in the closet was in the part of back in the house.
My boyfriend went first and i later, while walked can't saw nothing, really was dark. So, I dressed in my pajamas and I was returning to my room to slepp, but meantime, my boyfriend was hidden in another room, he was waiting for me to spend to scare, I passed around the room and he lifted my heel with his hands and said: "Waaaaaa" (monster sound).
I ran around the house, ran faster, at the same time shouted very strong, so that later I had a sore throat.
My boyfriend was really dying of laughter, he thought it was funny. I was really scared, did not stopped to cry. I was shaking and my face was very pale. I was really angry with my boyfriend one day. Well, anyway, today I think that is funny!!!!

THE LOST FARM
It all started one day before we left to the farm, on one of our friend’s birthday. His name was Sebastian Hernandez. That night everybody who was going to the farm drank a lot and we woke up in the street waiting to leave to Guatape .
The
departure time was at eight in the morning. Some people were going on the bus
and others were going in Sebastian’s car. The bus had to leave first because
the owner of the bus was very drunk and was not able to drive. After three
hours we were able to wake up and go to the farm.
The funny
thing was that we did not have the address of the property, or the name, or the
phone number, because the owner of the farm had gone on a trip and did not
leave us the information needed to get to the farm. For that reason it took us
seven hours to look for the farm with a picture we were able to get.
After looking
for the farm for a long time, we were guided by a photo of the farm, in the
background we saw “the stone of the ridge top” we finally saw the farm on the
other side of the dam. We had a problem we did not know how to get to the other
side. We toured the grounds until four pm and then we found the farm.
Much searching guided by a photo which showed
the back of the farm "the stone of the ridgetop" finally saw the
other side of the dam, the problem was we did not know how to get to the other
side, we crossed the field until 4:00 pm to find the farm.
After the difficulties we had to get to the farm, we relaxed and had a very good time, we drank a lot, danced, and celebrated the birthdays of our two friends.

My anecdote!
I
think that often do not appreciate these great gifts that life gives us. Perhaps
because we got used to see or have it. We can not imagine losing or just
another person in our position would see these things with a broader view, with
love and the desire not to lose sight Of, a look of respect, recognize that
there is a vastness greater than his own being. The best example, I've found is
that landscape: combination of life, water, sky, mountains, sand and deep
tranquility. That few respect and admire.
My anecdote
My
family and I went to Cartagena 2 years ago. We stayed at the hotel Faro of
Tequendama. My family and I enjoyed all the comforts and transports. We went to
many places including the island of the rosary, the Castle of San Felipe, the
walled city and some beaches.
When
we were on the boat, my sister and I stopped to look at the landscape. And here
I refer to the first paragraph. We were amazed. We went several times to
Cartagena when we were small, but in my case I did not appreciate the
perfection of what I had before my eyes. So on this trip I decided to have fun
watching all that at that time was not important to me.
I
really learned a lot and started to appreciate just what is important. I
remember that tourists happy and laughing went out after falling red worms.
My brothers and I wanted to go. We convinced my dad. We ran a lot faster to get
on the worm. My mom was scared because my little brother was 8 years old and he
did not know swimming. My mother told the young man who ran the worm: tour
only, will not throw us.
She
was very scared. When we were coming to the beach. The young forgot what my mom
said and in a blink of an eye we were already under water.
My
dad told me that he was the first that came out of the water. He despaired much
because he didn´t saw us. The worm fell on my sister and me. When we try to
leave the water. We were wrapped in red plastic. I hate feeling confined. We
seek a way out, but where we moved all that we saw was red.
On the other
hand, my mother had left fast but could not find my brother in the water, the anguish
was greater. My parents did not see my brother. When my sister and I went out
the water, we saw my brother jajajajajajajaja he was in the worm and he was
very quiet over it. He said, again, again.
The
scared is gone and now we were all laughing.
The man who drove the worm was all
worried jajajajaja he didn´t know what to do, expecting a scolding from my mom,
but my mom gave his laughter at his reaction. We were happy. Then the Lord took
the opportunity to show us some corals that were close jajajaaja. I was very
happy, I never seen a coral. Nice to see another small landscape and see such
beautiful and delicate creatures.
I
just wanted to get lost in this huge water tank, swimming and observing
everything that my view was lovely.
my 18th birthday
three years ago was my first birthday here in medellin, well I wanted to enjoy the maximum with my new friends from university, it was also my 18th birthday and i was finally going to be an adult.
For me it was a big surprise they did that obviously I was not expecting, but I can say that it was one of my best birthdays in recent years, which i enjoy an incredible day with my friends.
the day began with classes as usual, inlunch time it was habitual go to the house of my friend Carlos for lunch, when we were in the house carlos call me out of the house supposedly to give me a gift, I went out, and my friend sara who was inside the house i show her my gift and instantly carlos hug me and sara went out with many eggs in his hands and threw all of them in my head, it was the worst thing because I went to university ready t go out after class, for an ice cream and then go to a bar for a drink, I was affected beacuse of what had happened to me before, thanks God I had brought an extra blouse in case we change the place.
For me it was a big surprise they did that obviously I was not expecting, but I can say that it was one of my best birthdays in recent years, which i enjoy an incredible day with my friends.
AN UNIVERSITY ANECDOTE
Everyone always
joy remembers our first day in somewhere. Our first day in the school, our
first day in the university, our first day in the work and other places. We
remember those moments because they were important to start a new stage in our
life. I remember my funny and embarrassing first day in the university.
I had my first class of literature of Greece and
Rome in the evening. I got early that day because I felt nervous and a lot of expectations
from the morning. I chose my best and most beautiful clothes. I went to the
university before noon but I had class at 4 pm. I stayed in the library reading
about Greece and Rome culture and without realizing it was about 4:15. I ran through
the university to get into the classroom. I went and sat down after apologizing
for being late. One hour after the teacher was talking about Peloponnesian war
en other things I don’t remember now, but he never told anything about
literature Greece and Rome. I thought the first class was the historical context.
Fifteen minutes before finish the class the teacher called list and never called
me. I said him I wasn’t in the list and he told me not to worry and
then said that the next class we talked about the course objectives Greece and
Rome History I. Immediately I asked him if that was the class of literature
Greece and Rome and he told me that this class was in the room next door. Of course everyone laughed at
me and I left very embarrassed.
Cellphone to the water
One year ago I went to Cartagena with my peers of the
university. We studied in the day and danced in the night. We stayed up until 5
am. We drank and ate much.
In Cartagena the police have prohibited to be on the
beach after 6:00 pm. But it doesn't mattered to us and we went and is the only
illegal thing I’ve done in my life. I entered to the sea with a peer at 3:00
am. I had my cellphone in my pocket I was very drunk and I threw it to the
water.
Then I went to sleep and the next day I saw my cellphone
above the window, my friend Jorge had recovered it from the water. I didn’t
remember the last night. I didn’t know why my cellphone was wet.
My cellphone not lit and I runned out of cellphone. My
mother believes it went to the bath and she tried to fix it but the salt
already had damaged it.
MY BEST FRIEND
In a February morning when he went to take the bus to
go to college, when I reached the bus stop there was a very handsome boy ...
minutes later me and says, "you have beautiful eyes" I said
"thank you" from the sentence that gave me take the wrong bus, I had
to walk 15 minutes to get to college ... Days later I realized that the boy
also studied at the same university as me, we still find every day in the bus
stop, approached me one day in college and asked for my cell number, with the
excuse to call for a taxi to the university with other students who lived in
the same sector, which never happened.
to take on the same bus accident on the way home we
sat on the same bench and talked all the way on the pet that had bought into a
few days and I explained why I never called, that day I invite your house to
smoke hookah, introduced me to his family and stayed at home for 2 hours, we
talked about our lives in what was happening to them at that moment, then
walked me to my house to see where we lived ... we know from there are best
friends, we share our joys, sorrows, triumphs and defeats.
An unforgettable experience.
The last friday, while i was working, i decided with my colleagues that at the end of the workday we would go to club and drink some beers.
At 5:00 p.m my wife call me to the ofice and she invited me to go out that nigth, but i told her that can't because i was workin to late, because i was trying to finish a report that i had to give at boss the next monday, she said "no problem, but i go out with my friends", so i told "we see in the house".
In the night, i went with my friends to a bar in the downtown, after we drank some beers, i got up of the table and when i went to bathroom, i met my wife face to face and you don't imagine that happened me.
UNEXPECTED DAY
When i was in the school i was always a quiet student, i remember that i never had problems or fights with anyone, even i got along with all my classmates until that day.
that was my last year in the school, i was in the sports class playing basketball with my friends and in the recess we decided to rest and have a funny moment so we stared to make jokes and play between us, you know the usual jokes between friends. A friend called Maria Alejandra joined us, i remember that she was really annoying overactive and sharp so she stared to hit me really hard and i fell down. When i got up my friends said to me that i had to take revenge and they will protect me if she made me something , then when the class was over we had to wait for a while to open the door of the classroom, then i saw Maria Alejandra on knees picking up something on the floor and i was so angry for what she did to me so i decided to kick her really hard.. i recognaized that was liberating but it was really bad idea because when she got up she looked at me whit his face all red and full of fury and when i saw her like that i decided to get out of there as fast as possible but it was too late because she instantly reached me and we started to fight ¡and my friends didnt do anything! ¡they abandoned me!. Maria Alejandra was shorter than me so she was at disadvantage then she started to pull my sports pants and sound as if something had torn, we looked eachother to see what happened and my sport pant was sprain. fortunately it was the reverse of the pants and nobody noticed, but later the tacher punished us. after that we apologize eachother for what had happened.

An unforgettable experience
An unforgettable experience.
I was in
university final exams.
I had to do
much work to deliver the next day.
I remember
it was the day Wednesday. I got up early, took a shower and I made breakfast. I had to bring plans and a model.
I finished breakfast and I went to brush teeth. I Leave in the room, all I had
to wear to class. I take the bus but as it was very early, everyone get up for
work and other things for the day and also they take the bus. so I take the
bus, it was really crowded. I had no option because then I was late for my
class.
I went up as I could. the bus driver was driving very fast and my model
was slowly damaged. I was very sad because I spent weeks doing the model. after
twenty minutes, I got to university but my model was destroyed. I got to my
class but the teacher was not. I ran fast and I bought a glue. after waiting
one hour, the teacher came. The teacher called in order to qualify the job
name. It was my turn. the teacher said: "You done an excellent model,
congratulations" and I had the score of five. Thanks to my God.
