My biggest blessings
Last year was a bad year for me, there were some difficulties in my family and this year wasn't different, in February my father suffered a hard traffic accident, and some other tough situations. But everything turned better when my first nephew was born. His name is Matias, a beautiful child and currently he is about six months. His mother is my sister Lucia. That pretty baby has became my lovest person. But that's not all, a month later Matias birth, my niece Mariana was born too. I know you may think that's a madness but it's truth, now I have two nephews. Mariana is the most beautiful girl I've ever met, I really love her and I spend a lot of time with her.
On weekends, Mariana and I wacth rock concerts, I want she to become a rocker girl and I have planned to teach her how to play guitar. She seems very exited when she listens to rock music, and well, you probaly I'm not a good uncle too but what can I say..
In the afternoons after work, I get home very exhausted, I don't even want to play my guitar, but when I saw my nephews evrything change, suddenly I'm not tired and want to hold them on my arms, that doesn't happen nor when I see my parents, I mean, I feel so happy when I am with my little loves.
Their parents think I am crazy because when I run into them, they tell me that they don't even want their children in the same way as I do, well, they're right.
What about you, do you have nephews or children who you love more than any other person in the world?

A rainy day.
Today was a very sunny day, well, it was when I just awoke, but a few minutes after waking upt it started to rain, that's a good thing because I had to work and I prefer working when the day is cold. I've been thinking of stay at home to work on my homework but I finally decided to go to work. I don't know why but I actually love cold days, heat doesn't let me breathe.
A couple of years ago when I lived in Bogota I really enjoyed the weather there, although I've ever been there I felt like I had, so, my main goal is to live in Iceland or any other cold country, it maybe doesn't make sensen but I'd like to do it, well, in spite of I'm broke and don't even have money to buy a coffee, I know someday I'll get it. Many people can go abroad many times in a year, I've barely gone to Bogota, what a poorness. If anything, I love cold weather and this day seems very good for me.
How is the weather like there? comment and tell how is your perfect day.

I've fell inlove of my classmate
Last semester I met a girl, a beautiful girl. She enroled at the same career I'm studying, her name is Alejandra. I talked to her and we made good friends because we have the same taste in music, plus she sings beautiful and I play the guitar, then we decided to record videos for my YouTube channel. Days passed and I began to feel something bigger for her. One day when we were at the cafeteria I told her what I felt about her, and told her that I was worried about losing our friendship and thogh. She responded/replied me that although she didn't like me back, our friendship would keep/go on.
It was so sad because I really love her. In spite of her words, she is ignoring me and dating with pretty guys, younger than I and it's understandable, why would she look at me when she is so beautiful and I'm a weird man.
I'm struggling to forget her but every single thing I do reminds me to her.
What tips could you give me to forget about her? Have you passed for a similar situation like I'm doing?
(Here she is singing this great song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMqDsfiG_q4 )

A long time out of Italki
I was a frequent user of Italki but due to some difficulties with my studies, I couldn't get in to my account. But fortunately I knew a british girl here in Italki and she's became my best friend, she lives in London and I here in Colombia but we talk every day via skype. I've learnt a lot of new vocabulary, phrases and grammar structures from her and I'm becoming really good at writing. I lack speaking practices but in my college there is a new teacher who studied in London and she offers me the opportunity to practice my speaking and get a significant improvement.
Talking about my british friend, there are some days when she can't write me, that's because of the different hour between our countries, anyways, it's always good to know from her and know about her daily life.
What about you, have you known a special friend here as I did?

A spoken test
Hey guys. I have an English test, well, in fact it's a spoken task. I have to watch a youtube's video and summarize it. It's an interesting activity because I'm sure that by practicing we can get an increasingly better knowledge and management in any stuff we are interested, in this particular case English language.
I get confused with many words and phrases that I can't even undesrtand, so I ask you for your kind help to tell me what's the video about, I know it's related to the future of education, but I need a deep undertstanding, a deeper concept of it.
Thank you so much my friends for your kind help. Here it is the video. https://youtu.be/Mb2d8E1dZjY

As to/about environmental care in my community
Hello folks.
I'm going to talk about another of the reasons which people tend to cut trees and destroy big forest areas, it's agriculture. People destroy thousands of trees not only for getting woods but for plantations, especially coffee plantations.
After cutting the trees, people set fire burning the whole field, this a terrible practice and the worst it's a common one.
I live here since 2006 and if I compare the landscape, it's suffered a considerable change, so anyone can notice of the huge transformation in both weather and quality of air caused for deforestation. This situation would be better if the farmers thought not of money but in our environment, in our future, to get it we have to warm them about the consequenses of deforestation.
One way to get an increasingly better farmers' thinking about it, it is through a set of awaraness campaigns, encouraging them to plant/sow trees in their farms and look after natural resources because they are a treasure and that many places in the world don't count with them, tell them that we are very lucky for having all these natural marvels.
What do you propose to encourage environmental care in your community?

Another speaking immersion.
Yesterday I had an English speaking immersion with a native speaker of that language. I had to go to my University to attend that encounter. I was terrible because I had to watch random videos about some important stuffs for North Americans.
One of those videos talked about Landmarks, another one was about American Holidays and so on. I didn't watch those videos and when the tutor asked me for a summary of the videos I got confused, I had no idea what to say.
That tutor was very demanded and I thought I did it bader than ever. I couldn't even say a word without making a mistake and she requested me to say either a little introduction of each one of those landmarks or a brief explanation of the american holidays, then I could finally do it and She told me I needed to work on my speaking because it was bad in some aspects.
Do you want to help me to improve my speaking skills in English? I will help you with your spanish.
Thanks in advance.

Something about my region
According to my teacher's suggestion I talked with one of my neighbour, she is an old person who has lived here all her life and told me about some things related to religious traditions. In a village called Gallardo,located about thirty minutes from Suaza's urban area, is the shrine (I didn't know this word) dedicated to "La Virgen de Aranzazu", a place that is visited for people from all Colombia who go there to ask the Virgin for some miracle or simply to say her thanks after she've made them one favor.
I was there once several years ago, to be honest, in 2011, despite I live near there I don't even think of going there, that's because of its hot weather, I hate heat because it avoids me to breath.
She also told me about some strange activities that happen near her house, well I have to say that's something fascinating because in her farm there is a stone that contains some graphics dating back many years ago. That stone has some drawnings about a snake, a person as well as an iguana or something like that. My neighbour told me that stone has been studied for some arqueologists but they never told her what the drawnings mean don't even whether those are important or not. But the fact is that in that place something scares, so if you go there at the night you can hear voices and strange noises or even see some shadows that seem as they walk. That stone is near my house too so I'll manage to get a camera to take pictures and send them to you.
That's pretty much it for now.
(Please could you help me correcting this entry because I know there are several spelling mistakes)
