About being oldie
Over three weeks ago, my grandparents found a beautiful brown and white dog (the veterinary said it was a Beagle). It was just a puppy, we guess it was about six months old and its owners left it on the street.
The first time my grandmother looked at the dog, she felt in love, but she was convinced that it was lost and walked with it along the neighborhood, asking everybody if somebody had lost this beautiful dog in the last days. She didn´t receive any answer, just one person said there was three more dogs like that in this neighborhood since two days ago. My grandmother brought it to her home and talked with my grandfather, so they decided to addopt the dog, they gave it the name of "Danger".
After two or three days from the finding, my mom and an uncle met Danger, they played with it and decided that, since it was a strong and lively animal, it couldn't be anymore with my grandparents (they thought that it was dangerous walking and playing with Danger, because it could push them and hurt them, a 76 years old couple). Since that moment, they began searching a new family for Danger and they finally found it.
Today, a friend of us picked up the dog and brought it for a new house. While the dog was entering on the car my grandmother was crying. Perhaps it was the best for everyone but it was also difficult for them.
I can't stop thinking about being oldie, if they were younger no one could decide anything for them. I suppose that when they were children they was always thinking about being adults, making their own decisions and being completely independents. But now, I think they feel like childrens, letting decide their daughters about their lives. I'm thinking which moment is the deadline, when we just left our adulthood and became children again.

About my bestfriend
Her name is Diana, she is 28 years now and she is mathematician just like me. We met first time when we started the College, and we have been friends since this moment; it was 11 years ago.
We were very close when we were at the University, it's normal because we had to study the whole day and we was always together. It was possible for us to know what each other was thinking and we knew all the secrets of each other. When something happened, the first person which I told to was her. Obviously we had some differences, she was (and still she is) more dedicated than me, she loved the algebra and in contrast I loved Aplied Mathematics, and especially, She was always happier than me.
When we finished the College, we took different paths, she chose the academic life and I chose the business life. While she was dedicating her life to learning and teaching, I was working as a consultant. My work brought me abroad for two and a half years, and in this time she got married and her studies brought her abroad too.
I've met her two months ago, and it was just like always, we talked about our lifes, our dreams and we remembered all the beautiful things we lived together. I really hope to stay in the same country than she for drinking a coffee at least once a month and talking about our lifes.

My first english class
I've been trying to improve my english from the last month. The reason is that I love to travel and I want to work abroad, and I've left the English learning for at least 4 years. First of all, I read a book "Fluent Forever" (in English), and I'm in the process of implementing the method for learning, for this reason I'm creating a lot of flashcards in Anki, I'm studying grammar, I'm reading novels in English and I'm listening the radio. In order to improve my speaking skills, I signed in a conversational class and I felt terrible! I just forgot all the written words and I was unable to communicate my ideas, in addition, I didn't understand some of the questions of my teacher.
After all, I think it's part of the process, English is not my mother tongue and as far as I understand, It tooks time for being able of thinking in English.
Thanks for correcting my entry, and I would like to know your suggestions for my next class!

Things that make me happy
In my last notebook I decided to begin a musical challenge, I wrote the first day and after that I couldn't continue, I was reading the list and I just couldn't get inspiration. For this reason, I decided to start another challenge: "30 days of writting"; my first day is "list 10 things that really make you happy"
1. Having a beautiful family: I have the fortune of having a great mom, a wonderful cousin and beautiful grandparents. They have been with me since I was a child and I'm sure they are going to be with me always.
2. Having a lovely boyfriend: Our story began a lot of years ago. We met in a party and we dated for a year, but it didn't work. Seven years later we began dating again and currently we are a lovely couple, we have dreams and plans for get real.
3. My job: As a consultant, being in touch with a client and help the people with solving their problems is a great feeling.
4. Passion fruit Ice cream: There is anything in the whole world that can't be solved with a delicious Passion fruit ice cream.
5. Travelling: There's a lot of places waiting for being discovered and a lot of beautiful skylines to know. Having a lot of memories from the places I visit definitely makes me happy.
6. Eating: I love try new tastes, althought it doesn't work all the times.
7.Sleeping after a long day: As everyone, sometimes I don't have good days, and I can't wait for coming my home and sleep in my bed.
8. Walking sorrounded by the nature: When I need perspective, thinking about an important decision or I just want to feel relaxed, there are no better activity than go to the park or the "Jardin Botánico" in my city for get a walk.
9. A warm shower: It is my preferred activity in the morning.
10. Learning: Off course learning is into the list: learning about myself, learning a language, learning a new statistical model or just learning to take a photo. I love the feeling of doing something with my mind.
Thanks in advance for correcting my writing!

Day1- Musical challenge
Today, I was thinking about my second entry here when I decided to begin a musical challenge (I don't use to write a lot and it's a funny way of getting ideas). The first day in the challenge is "My favourite song", I will write something about it:
First of all, I don't have something like a super favourite song in the whole world, I think it depends on the time of my life, it's obvious that the life changes, my musical taste too and even in the same year I can reach differents levels of "musical sensitivity". For example, I remember having "Helena" like my favourite song when I was 19, "Lazy Eyes" after that, "Dig" and finally "Instant Crush".
Nowadays, "Something about us" by Daft Punk is my favourite song. English is not my native language and off course the first thing I enjoyed wasn't the lyrics, but the rythm. It's impossible to me hearing that song and avoid closing my eyes for just listening the wonderful sounds. When I was trying to discover something (yet) better in "Something about us" I understood the lyrics, and I realised how beautiful they were. To me, it's the better love song in the world.
Thanks in advance for correcting my writing. I would like to know your favourite song too!!!

My first entry
Hi everyone!
I'm Lina, it's my first time here. My idea is write everyday just a little, because I'm trying to improve my english in order to work abroad.
Talking about me, I love to travel and read, I think that those things are similar, when I travel I'm able to know differents cultures, see new ways of thinking and living, and off course, I'm able to watch the world with new eyes. When I read it's similar, but I only use my mind for that.
Thanks for correct my little introduce!
