About a girl
Hello,
And No, I'won't write about Nirvana's song today
Actually this entry should be called "about a german girl".
Anyway. This happened two years ago, when I was still in college (I sounded like an old man, actually I graduated just a couple of months ago). Her name starts with the letter F, so I will call her F.
One day, at beginning of the academic period I saw her in front of the class room. I remember that I thought "Oh, she is the kind of girl who make me nervous" And of course I got nervous. She entered the class room and I felt happy and a little bit worried, I didn't know why.
Since that day I saw her frequently, let's say two times per week.She talked to other people in the classroom. That's how I could know about her. She was German, her name was F (well, not exactly), and she was quiet.
During the four months we were classmates I talked to her two times:
The first chance was when she dropped her notebook and I tried to pick it up. lift it. F said in Spanish "I can do it by my self". I thought "OK", and turned my sad face. my face turned sad.
The second time was when in a desperate effort to establish contact with her, I decided to ask her about
her grades in the last exam. "How was it ?", I asked. "Good, good", she said. "Ah, OK", I said. She smiled. "That was a tough test, don't you think" I said. "Yes It was", and I turned again my frustrated face. again I was frustrated.
And that's it. That's the whole story, I never saw her again.
Thanks in advance for your correction.0 votedSeptember 13, 20162Humberto Maturana: A brilliant scientist and philosopher

Last week, I was reading an article about the Loch Ness Monster. It's one of the most famous stories in the popular folklore.
Even though the story has been refuted (or not?)and all the photographs are fake, I like this story very much. To think that there could be a monster in the lake, is like discovering something that has been in the deepest for many years.
One day, I would like to see something as mysterious and fascinating as "Nessie"0 votedAugust 17, 20160Please check this for me! I will be very gratefull!!!!!!!!!
Topic: Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live
I think nowadays people have many options for prepare food easier than many years ago and that have improve the way people live. In the past, if you want to cook you needed wood or carbon to provide of energy your kitchen, whereas in the present, you can introduce an instant soup y your microwave with water and with 3 minutes there the food is ready. This change in people life is very important and became from the science and technology improvements that modify ours cooking equipment, the techniques to prepare food and the kind of food that everybody eat today.
Many years ago, for example in the time of my grandparents around the year 1960 they only could cook with fire, hence they need to search those materials that produce it such as wood or carbon. The search and obtaining of those materials took many worktime and effort. Currently you find kitchens that works even with solar energy and you do not have to spend a lot of work looking for solar energy because it is almost everywhere. In addition, in the present, you can buy some instant food that only require to be heated in a bowl or microwave to be ready for consume. For example, nuggets, soups or pastas. In the past, if you wanted to eat a nugget you should kill a chicken first and prepare the nuggets from zero. Currently you can prepare juice easier than in the past, because you only have to go to the store to buy some little package of juice in powder. In 1920s, you should take the fruit from the tree, peel it and prepare it. Even for cook food today, you do not need to take cooking classes or much preparation because it is very simple.
Those changes in people live related to the preparation of the food made that nowadays the food is more unhealthy than some years ago, therefore today the people suffer more diseases produced for the constant consumption of those easy prepare and fast food that we eat today. In the past all the food prepared in ours grandparent's home was homemade and healthy, while now the food that people prepare easily are produced in factories, with a low quality of the products and with many chemicals components that affect the people live a could create cancer. Furthermore, today are more people diagnosed with cancer than twenty or thirty years ago.Many years ago, around 1960, my grandparents only could cook with fire.

Presently, your can buy some instant food that only needs to be heated in a bowl or microwave to be ready to eat. Some examples are nugget, soups and pastas.

Today you don't need to take cooking lessons. It is very simple.
The food that we eat today is not as healthy as in the past. People are suffering more diseases because of the constant consumption of easy to prepare foods. Our grandparents made food that was homemade and healthy. Today, it is produced in factories that use low quality ingredients and cancer causing chemicals. Furthermore, more people are diagnosed with cancer than twenty or thirty years ago.

Algunas veces un cliente deja caer algo en el piso sin lo recogiendo. Tengo que recogerlo y lo devuelvo. Frecuentamente, los clientes me preguntan donde pueden encontrar un producto. Ayer, una mujer me preguntó, ¿Donde estan el cereal y la leche? La contesté, "Ël cereal está a pasillo ocho a la izquierda lado y la leche está en la nevera allí". Una noche un hombre entró la tienda y me preguntó, ¿Donde está la cervesa? Casi seria las dos en la mañana. Lo dijé, "Lo siento señor, pero, no podemos vender la cervesa despues de medianoche. El hizo muy enfadarse. El me gritó, "Usted está loco, tengo otro mas quince minutos para comprar cervesa". Ya, creo que era borracho. El me gritó tambien. Calmamente, pero con una voz determinada, lo dije. "Si no salga la tienda ahora mismo, voy a llamar la policía. El salió.August 13, 201620
