Forgotten Memories

Maybe my story is similar to others, a boy, a girl, a feeling that sometimes cannot be responded, or maybe hope that is discovered in the middle of hopelessness, anyway, I will start. I remember the first time he talked to me… “1963” it was a beautiful summer night, it was so late that the Eiffel tower’s visiting hours were over.

It had been a stressful day in my work, a day full of shouts, a lot of rude customers and so many orders to serve. When I finished my work at night I decided to relax walking around the city before arriving home. I was walking near the Eiffel tower and I sat down on a bench under a huge tree, and finally I got relaxed. It was a nice and comfortable moment and thoughts started crossing my mind about silly things, but then I began thinking about the five pleasures in my life: “tasting food, listening to a good song alone, smelling the different fragrances of nature, looking at the stars, and…and” and suddenly I saw a guy walking towards me, I was scared because it was too late and I was alone, I did not know what to do, “Should I run away?”. When he started approaching I stood up to go, but he stopped me and asked me the time, I lifted my head to look at him and “wow he is like an angel” I thought. “2:05” I said stuttering, he thanked my answer, but then his deep sight took my fear away, I smiled looking at the floor, and he told me that my smile was pretty. I do not know what he was doing at 2:05 am walking around the city, maybe the same as me, I do not know and maybe I will never know.

On the other hand, it is impressive how a simple question can be the beginning of a great conversation. Well, after that question he continued with some others, we sat down under that huge tree and the conversation simply happened. His presence gave me confidence, even when he was a total stranger to me. We talked about the obvious information that we usually want to know “name, age, job, address, hobbies, etc” his name was Emile, he worked in a known music store, he was 26 years old he was just three years older than me. That night we had an exciting conversation, suddenly it started raining as other random raining in Paris. He took off his brown jacket and gave it to me and I took a taxi to go home. That night I could not sleep thinking about him and about his great personality.

The next day, before arriving to my work I got to his work to give him back his jacket and he asked me for my telephone number. Emile began calling me, at the beginning he called me for some minutes, but those minutes turned into hours. Then we started going out, just as friends. I enjoyed a lot the time I spent with him, walking in the city without any direction, dancing in the “Luxembourg” garden without music, watching the lights of the city at night, enjoying a good wine, being in the bridge watching the “Seine” river and laughing all the time. I liked every single thing about him, he was tall, thin, and brown, and he had brown hair, beard, beautiful brown eyes, delicate lips, and perfect hands. But what I liked the most was his personality, smart, crazy, fun, lovely, romantic, fearless and sincere. After two months I realized that I was totally in love with him, he was in my mind all the time, I felt those butterflies flying in my stomach, and when I saw him my heart beat faster. It seemed he felt the same as me, I was not sure, but his eyes showed me the same feeling as mine.

One day he called me to invite me to have dinner in a nice restaurant “Le jardin du Nicolas”, and I thought “it must be something important to go to an elegant restaurant”, of course I thought that he was going to ask me to be his girlfriend, so I spent more time getting dressed and putting on my makeup. He wanted to see me there at 10:00 pm, but it was 11:30 pm and he had not arrived. At that moment I felt very sad and disappointed, so I left the restaurant crying. I was waiting for his apology, but he did not call. Even I was angry, I looked at him at his work but I could not find him and I asked a worker about him, and the worker told me that Emile had had an accident in his car on September 4th at night. That was the date he left me in the restaurant alone. I ran to the hospital very sorrowful. When I got to the hospital his brother told me that he had received a strong hit in the head that he could not remember anything about his past and that it was not appropriate to force him to remember things, because he was rehabilitating. I wanted to be next to him, but his brother asked me to come back when he was better.

Days were long and nights were eternal, I worried about his health, and I was so scared that he could not remember me anymore, I did not want to lose him. I thought about him every single second of the day. After two weeks Emile’s brother telephoned me to tell me that Emile was better and I could visit him. I waited the time to leave my work to go to see Emile. In fact, he did not remember me, which made feel even worse. I could not force him to remember me, so I introduced myself as a friend, but I did not tell him about the special friendship that we shared. Time passed by and he did not remember me, when I visited him during my free time he showed distrustful and he did not want to talk to me. I could understand his situation, but it was painful that everything we lived together was erased from his head. I always asked God someone like him; I was waiting someone exciting as him, I wanted live my life next to him and I felt I was losing him. One day, I decided to tell him everything about us, I could not stand it, and I missed Emile so much. I got to his house and I asked him to take a walk just for talking. While we were walking he was shy, but finally we got to that place where we first met, under that huge tree. There I told him about our experiences and all the things we had been through. He was thoughtful, and I dared to kiss him, and then he looked at me, I could swear that he was remembering me for the way he was looking at me, but he just stood up and he left me there. I understood that it would be hard to make him remember all the events we lived. Some days after, I knew he moved to another city. I do not know what happened but I stayed there wishing he had not forgotten all of our memories.

Acting in theater is more professional than acting on TV

Do you think that acting in theater is the same as acting on TV? It could seem the same thing, but it is not. However, both performances share some similarities such as having actors, having a plot, using props, and all the production. In addition, both performances are very interesting and fun, but they are not identical. There are many factors that make even better acting in theater than acting on TV, for example: the use of voice, body expression, and making errors.

The use of voice in theater is excellent. We know that one of the best ways of communication is the voice; with it actors can express a story. On TV, for actors it is very easy to use their voice. They really do not need any kind of preparation because they use microphones, and technology help them to be heard by everybody without scream. In contrast, in theater it is very different. In theater, actors need a long preparation for their voices, because they do not use microphones. For this reason, actors should speak loudly in order to the spectators from the first line to the last one hear everything that the actors are saying.

Body communication expresses messages in a more lively in way in theater than TV does. Body movements are a very important part of acting in order to transmit the message better. The body language on TV is natural, and it is not exaggerated. The actors’ movements are less emphasized and the use of space is very static, because the actors do not use a lot the space where they are working. This is because the cameras are able to zoom those areas that production wants to emphasize, so the audience is able to catch the messages through body expression. On the other hand, the use of the body really differs in theater. In a theater stage actors should take care of some aspects such as not covering another actor, not to turn your back to the audience, and turn towards the spectator. But the most important one is that all the movements should be more emphasized and exaggerated, so all the people in the play can see all the movements.

Making errors on TV can be fixed over and over again. It is very typical to make errors during a performance or forget parts of the play. Nevertheless, this is not a problem on TV performances, because if someone makes an error they just record the same scene again. In contrast, during plays making errors is worse. As the public is watching the play everything has to flow absolutely well. In theater actors are not allowed to make mistakes because the audience can notice the errors. So actors should be very creative to improvise in case they forget something. Not only actors from theater can improvise, also they are clever and intelligent, and when they make errors they are able to adjust the dialogue again.

Acting in theater and acting on TV need a lot of time of preparation and effort in order to having a good performance. It is considered that in order to be a good actor for television, it is necessary to be acting in theater plays. So, here we can see that theater is an important basis in the acting world, because it is a complete preparation for actors. Including that when a story is developed in theater the spectators are more in contact with the plot and feelings are more perceptible than on TV. For this reason and so many others theater performance is greater and more professional than TV. Give yourself the opportunity to appreciate both performances, and you will prove that stories performed in theater are wonderful.

Bicycle as a great and real alternative of transportation

Have you ever thought that bikes are used by teenagers just for having fun? Many people think that this vehicle is for young people to practice sports or just for having fun. Well, this is one of its advantages, but we cannot forget that bikes are able to move people as other ways of transportation. In many cities of the European Union the bicycle is one of the most used vehicles to move from one place to another, because it offers a lot of advantages. Mexicans should consider this vehicle as a way of transportation in order to avoid pollution in the cities and to save money.

Bikes are clean and smog free. According to the “Air pollution caused by cars”(Ecologia y Desarrollo Sostenible,I.T.E.S.M.Campus San Luis) article 65% of the air pollution is a result of car fumes. This indicates a big problem in our environment that is causing the global warming. On the contrary, by using bikes you will help our environment, because it does not cause any kind of chemicals, gases, or smog that pollute the environment. This ecological vehicle does not require any kind of fuel, it just requires the strength of your body. In addition, when driving bicycles you are preserving nonrenewable resources like petroleum, carbon and so on.

Save your money by using bikes(2008). In webpage, from http:http://www.zonamtb.com. One of the most serious problems that Mexico is facing nowadays is the “economical crisis” that affects everybody. Each person who has a car wastes a lot of money on gasoline, and they waste their money because they consider it “necessary”. However, as using a bike to go from one place to another you do not need to spend money. As a result of the bike not requiring combustible you will not waste your money, and you will have the same result “transport yourself to other place”. Just imagine all the money that you can save riding a bike, you can use that money on those things that are even more important.

People might argue that the use of bicycle is not a good alternative because it is dangerous. Accidents happen all the time, and it does not matter if you are driving a car, a motorcycle, a bike, or even if you are just walking on the street. Although people believe that it is alarming that cars and bikes use the same space to drive, it is important that you know that bikes should use the left side of the street, and be careful with the street signs. In this way cars and bikes can share the same space to move. Furthermore, it is crucial to mention that this alternative of transportation is not for kids, it is for people that are older and they are responsible and careful. So, do not be afraid of using them just be responsible and prudent.

Using bike as an alternative way of transporting is a great opportunity to help our environment and keep money in your daily life. There is nothing to lose and there are a lot of advantages to get from it. Not only the previous mentioned, but also you can maintain yourself healthy by driving a bike and you will avoid sicknesses. In addition, you will find a new way of relaxing and being quiet. For these reasons people should adapt this vehicle as a way to transport because they will not pollute the environment and will help you in the economical crisis.

A Wonderful Night with Bunbury

April 4th of 2009 was the best day that I have ever had. I remember perfectly that day as it had been yesterday. It was a warm and sheltering day, and the air had that fragrant smell of spring time “flowers and green trees”. There my best friend Fernando and I were together waiting excited to get into the concert. I had waited so much time for his coming, and finally my dream was coming true. I did not even care about the six hours that we had to wait to get into the concert, because my pleasantness was more than that. The concert environment, Bunbury’s performance and all the mixed emotions that I experienced made my night unforgettable.

A stinky environment for an awesome night. When we were already there I could notice that all the people were so desperate, because Bunbury was not on the stage. Nevertheless, when Bunbury arrived to the arena that anxiety turned into a great feeling and happiness. Well, I have to say that the scent was not so gentle to the nose at that moment, because all the people were very tight which caused many of them to start sweating as pigs. However, it did not ruin my perfect night. The view was stunning, when lights were off, thousands of stars lighted our faces and the tenuous lights from the stage gave us an awesome shadow spectacle. Although, the rotten smell surrounded us; the environment was fantastic, after all Bunbury was there especially for us.

His presence was the best part of the concert. I loved the way he looked that night, his clothes were the combination of a rock star and a country star. Furthermore, I liked how his skin looked white as snow and those impregnated traces on his arms. I also fell in love with his deep green eyes, they reflected passion and desire for his music. I was absolutely lost in his voice, specifically the voice that showed the love and the pain in his heart. Moreover, I had never seen someone playing the guitar that way, his fingers crossed the strings gently and passionately. Those things made me love him even more.

The mixed feelings that I experienced in his concert were gorgeous. I like the way he writes his songs; they are deep and full of sensibility. Especially the song “El Rescate”, which reminded me when I was in love with my first love “Edgar”. This song talks about unconditional love and my first love said that it was our song. When Bunbury was singing this song I felt glad and cheerful, because I was listening to my favorite song in the whole world. However, I also felt gloomy and melancholic, because I remembered those lovely days with Edgar that I did not have any more. At that moment I missed Edgar a lot. Despite that, I felt very enthusiastic and joyful, because that night Bunbury sang marvelously.

That concert was perfect and nothing else was needed. There I was enjoying my night with my best friend and with my favorite singer. The fact that the environment was cool, Bunbury was there, and all the emotions I could feel made my night the best happening of my life. Now I know that if I had the opportunity to attend a Bunbury’s concert again, it would not be the same emotion and happiness. Any of the concerts in this world are compared with the one that I attended. For all these reasons I had beautiful night with Bunbury.

My Evolution in Electronic Literacy

I started using electronic tools as a way of having fun, but as time passed by they turned into my way of learning. Now they are part of my life, because they are very necessary in my education, profession and in my personal life. I began using them since I was younger, I continue applying them, and for all the advantages I am going to use them. Going beyond fun I use electronic instruments, because they allow me improve my knowledge in any field. Here you will know the reasons why I started these tools, my experiences with them and what I expect from them in my future.

When I was 9 years old I was obsessed with Mary-Kate and Ashley (actresses from Disney Chanel) and I wanted to get pictures from the, but I could not find pictures of them in magazines. So, I decided to get into the internet in order to have some pictures from them. Then I began using the computer just for having fun playing games from the internet. In addition, I had to use the computer in secondary school, because my teachers asked me to do homework. Another way to manipulate these tools was the necessity to work with them because in High School I studied a technical career called “computation”.

Electronic tools have been very useful and needful in my education and my personal life nowadays. Since I got into the university I had to use them to work in some subjects online and in the exchange program which has given me the opportunity to learn in different ways and increase my educational knowledge. Furthermore, running word processors (PowerPoint, Word and Excel) have helped me in my assignments and presentations. They are very serviceable and easy to work on, besides they are very professional. Not only have electronic tools been useful in my education, but also in my personal life. I can meet new people and talk with them even if they are far away. Facebook, e-mails, and other social networks are good alternatives to establish new friendships for me.

I like to think that all these electronic instruments will be very beneficial in my future life. One day I will be a teacher and I would like to give my students classes online. So my students will interact with the information provided and look for more. Moreover, I will have the opportunity to create innovating teaching materials. These materials will help students to have an easy and significant learning. Also, I know that electronic tools will provide me the resources to continue studying. I would like to study a master degree abroad through internet. Besides, I would love to study courses related to my B.A. as Education and learning Psychology.

Everything started by playing on internet, but then it turned into part of my professional training. Knowing how to manage the internet, the computer and word processors allow me increase my knowledge, making new friends and being in touch with new technologies. From my childhood until now electronic technologies have been a great way to be educated and I will learn even more. For all their benefits and their simplicity I use them all the time for having fun and learning any kind of field, and I think I could not live without them.

Furthermore, running word processors (PowerPoint, Word and Excel) have helped me in my assignments and presentations. They are very serviceable and easy to work on besides they are very professional. Not only electronic tools have been useful in my education, but also in my personal life. I can meet new people and talk with them even if they are far away. Facebook, e-mails, and other social networks are good altenatives to establish new friendships for me.
I like to think that all these electronic instruments will be very beneficial in my future life. One day I will be teacher and I would like to give my students classes online. So my students will interact with the information provided and look for more. Moreover, I will have the chance of creating innovating teaching materials. These materials will help students to have an easy and significant learning. Finally, I know that electronic tools will provide me the resources to continue studying. I would like to study a master degree abroad through internet. Besides, I would love to study courses related with my B.A. as Education and learning Psychology.
Everything started playing on internet, but then it turned into part of my professional training. Knowing how to manage the internet, the computer and word processors let me increase my knowledge, making new friends and being in touch with new technologies. From my childhood to my present and until my future electronic technologies have been and will be a great ways to be educated and learn even more. For all their benefits and their simplicity I use them all the time for having fun and for learning any kind of field, and I think I could not live without them.

I would not change anything about my Life

If someone asked me “What is your life like?” the answer would always be the same “my life is beautiful”. Being honest, there are certain things that I do not really like about my life. However, besides all the bad aspects in my life I am very happy. I like who I am, I love my past, and I adore all the simple things that let me have such great moments. If I had the opportunity to be born again I would like to live the same way.

I love myself with all my imperfections and virtues. There are some things that I do not like about myself, for example: I am fearful, distracted, a little bit insecure and explosive. Nevertheless, I am ok like this, because even when my faults have caused me problems and have made me make mistakes, I have learned from them and I have matured so much. On the contrary, I have a lot of virtues that characterize my personality. I am always happy even when everybody is trying to bother me. I am very loving, and I like to show people that I love them. Also I am very positive; I’m used to looking at the bright side of things. Among other things, I am responsible, fun, friendly, and nice.

Another thing that I like is the way I have lived my life. Since I was child I have enjoyed my life a lot. All my childhood was very nice, full of games, innocence, fantasy, and pranks. Furthermore, my adolescence was so great. During that time, I discovered a lot of things, such as beautiful emotions, good friends, and so much fun in my adventures “conquering the world”. Talking about my youth it has been a beautiful experience. In this period of my life I fell in love for the very first time, I have known a lot of new places, and my vision of life has changed amazingly.

Not only my way of living but also the way I try to make myself happy make me feel satisfied . I do not need big moments or big things. I turn simple things into great moments. I enjoy walking alone around the city while looking at the sky and clouds. I love lying down on the green grass and smell its perfume while I admire trees and their own particular way of dancing. In addition, I like listening to music at night lying on my bed looking at stars. Finally I love thinking about impossible things or situations which are funny.

For me life is simple and clear. I do not have it all, but I have what I need to be happy. I am thankful with God for every single thing of my life. Furthermore, I am aware that life is a precious gift which is not eternal, so I want to enjoy each day of my life. I love my life and there is no more to say. So if I had the chance to have the life I wanted, I would definitely chose the same life.
