It was something such unusual and funny in way, that happened when I used to live in a small town named Cote Lai, inside of the Chaco Province, where , as the most of small town, people tend to make up histories about ghost and so many others tales.
ResponderEliminarNo sooner had I arrived my aunt´s house than I realised there was an enormous grave in front of it. After that, I knew that grave belonged to a family which had died in a huge accident . It happened in 1982 while they were flying from Santa Fe Province,and their plane fell dawn in that place. As a resault five people died: two children , three adults and between they, was the pilot . Next, around this tragedy appeared a lot of tales so it was believed a large number of people had seen the figure of the pilot stood up near of the grave.
One evening I had gone out with some friends. Then it was late in the night when I decided to come back home and there was only a way to get home and it acrossed by side of the grave. I remember the whether was perfect, never before had I seen a such outstanding night. The moon was shining, as if it was the unique star in the sky. I was walking up when suddenly I rememberd that not only was I near of that place, even I had to across in front of the grave. So sudden and fierce had all those tales about the pilot come into my mind ,as if they were a deluge of image, I was really petrified and at the exactly moment when I stood up in front of the grave I looked at it with fear then a ray of light hit into my eyes so , for a few second, neither could I breathe or I gave one step, up to I noticed that the ray came from the glint of the moonlight on a piece of metal which contained the family´s name. Then I started to burst out laughing because I had thought it was the pilot.
Finally, from that time up to now never again have I believed in ghots.

ResponderEliminarA HAPPY AND FORTUNATELY CHALLENGE
ResponderEliminarIs Taekwondo an appropriate sport for little girls? For me, it was. I’ll Never forget how much I loved that sport.
This story starts at the age of 5 years when I was thin an smaller. At the request and insistence of my dad, I’ve started to attend The Toffa-gym. Wearing big, loose and white clothes I turned up to the gym, I do felt so scared as Rocky Balboa in his first fight but I tried to be very brave or so it seemed.
Many years later, I could understand that the people make goals to achieve and to-do lists but then... they procrastinate, and this happens again and again and again. Seriously, what’s the problem? so well, I've survived to the idea of throwing it all away.
I've begun to train with greater enthusiasm and one day someone who I haven't seen before makes a question to my father:-"Taekwondo would not be every father's chosen sport for his daughter, so why do you stimulate her to do this?" what my father answers: -"yes, it can be dangerous, but the risk is an element that can be found everywhere, I more afraid of her if she isn't doing what she likes".
Afortunately my coach has a warm personality and he taught me everything about the phisical training and strategies to be the best female competitor because I had to deal with everyone who said that "the taekwondo is a male sport" like thousands of girls in the world! Right now I’ve the black belt, I’ve won ten trophies and few medals and that’s a really really amazing achievement of my life.
When all is said I just want to persuade the readers to get positive thoughts and say you have to try don't to get away from your emotions and feelings. I've read few months ago this phrase which changed my thinking form "If you do want to do something with a dream, volition and effort... unavoidably happen"

ResponderEliminarA lost evening
ResponderEliminarOne day Mark, after going out of classes, as always he put his huge headphones looking like an astronaut. Having done that he went to the bus stop, while he was waiting for the bus, he listened lively music. He sang in a loud voice and moved his head as a pendulum, then the bus appeared silently and he took it.
During the trip not only did he sing, also came up with unreal situations, he spoke to his mind and said” I would become a rock star, if I recorded a hit song”. Suddenly he realized that he had lost and didn’t recognize the part of the city, so Mark asked the driver where was him?, The driver answered that he was in the south of drums city, because he drove every day around there, so he knew the area like the back of his hand. The boy fell into desperation and got off the bus quickly. He looked around the neighborhood and it had tiny houses side by side and every of those were painted in the same colors, the streets were covered by a thick mist and everything seemed to be taken from Edward scissors-hands movie.
Suddenly his mother turned up at the neighborhood, and they went back to home, while she was driving she told him that she was worried because it was so late and he didn’t arrive at home, then she called to his mobile phone but the line was out of service also she called to the school and they answered her saying that “ It is believed that Mark left the school about 5:30 pm”, after hearing the answer not only did she called the police, furthermore she looked for him in every street of the city. Happily she found him and came back home together.
