- Last Friday... Last Friday I got engaged... :) It was something I wanted to do for a long time. There was a lot of plans that didn't happen... Among them, make the proposal on our last trip to Salta (https://www.italki.com/notebook/417384/entry/902858), in the "cerro de los 14 colores" or in the "salinas". But I did not dare to do it, because I was afraid that the ring would be stolen during the trip, while I was sleeping, or that during the controls at the Argentinian border I would have my ring taken out of my luggage. But finally I encouraged myself to do it on last friday, there wasn't a fancy dinner nor flowers (that could have been suspicious). We were in my house spending the afternoon as usual, and suddenly I told her that I took some 360-degree photos of the cerro de los 14 colores and I put the google cardboard (a VR device) in her head. While she was distracted watching the photos I turned off the lights, I hugged her and I whispered in her ears: "Baby I'm Dancing in the dark, with you between my arms. Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song..." (Ed Sheeran's Perfect). We danced in the dark and then I showed to her an old photo of us when we were younger and we were playing to get married. We laughed a lot. and then, finally I knelt down and I showed her the ring, that was shining in the dark. I asked her if she wanted to spend the rest of our lives together and she accepted :) I'll leave the rest to your imagination. It was a very nice moment... she did not expect it. I'm so happy :)May 28, 201800
- Just a question. If I'm talking about a movie about the president... Is "a president movie" or "a president's movie"? I think that is "a president movie"... because "president's movie" sounds like "the president is the owner of the movie". I think is "war movie" and not "war's movie", right? Thanks!May 22, 201831
- I really love this. This is going to be a short entry. I just want to say that is so cool to write, be read and corrected by you, guys! You are really helping me a lot. It's very cool when I get the notification of a new correction. Also It's great to help others with it's Spanish. Just let me know if I can help you. Thanks! Good night!May 21, 201820
- I would like that weekends were longer Recently, I realized that I spend all my week thinking about how many days until the weekend. Really, I'm looking forward for the weekend always, even on Sundays at night. It's really cool when you leave work on fridays (assuming you don't have to work on saturdays), I really love that sensation. It's like all your problems or responsabilities remain enclosed within the walls of the office until monday and you cannot do anything about it, just must enjoy the weekend. That makes me feel very calm. It's like you could do anything during those days, but sometimes I feel like there is not enough time for doing all i want. Weekends should be longer. Another thing that usually happens to me is that I feel very worried about the pending tasks of work on Sundays at night. It's horrible, but there is nothing that I could do, just try to calm down and enjoy the time left. Today is Sunday and the sun is starting to go down, I will try to keep calm... :S Sorry... I already thinking about next weekend hahaha...May 20, 201820
exercises - thank you if you help correct (gracias si me ayudas)
En estados unidos hay muchos tipos de música como “Rock”, “Jazz”, “Blues”, “Dance” etcétera. Algunos de esos tipos eran creado fueron creados en este país – “Blues” por ejemplo. No me gusta mucho los el Blues porque me cae mal música triste. Prefiero la música energética y con guitaras eléctricas que suenen muy fuerte. Mi banda favorita es “Rush”, un grupo canadiense que había (ha) hecho más que de 15 álbumes. Su música es muy rápida, con base pesada y la con una batería increíble. También, me gusta ese banda porque sus letras son inteligentes y estimulantes de para el pensamiento. En la ciudad donde vivo, hay numerosas “bandas locales” que tocan música (it could be redundant) en bares los fines de semana. A muchas personas les encantan ir a un bar y escuchanr a una banda mientras tomando bebidas por toda a lo largo de la noche.
Esta noche iré a un bar con mi esposa. Veremos una banda y tomaremos varias bebidas. Antes de ir al bar, caminaremos en un parque y cenaremos en un restaurant que está cerca del bar. Probaré algo nuevo en el restaurant, y compraré pagaré la cuenta con tarjeta de crédito.
Y tú, saldrás esta noche? Verás una banda, o cenarás en un restaurant? Caminarás en un parque? Espero que tengas una buena noche y que te divertirás divierta la experiencia.Buen trabajo, David! :) He escuchado acerca de Rush, pero nunca me he sentado a escuchar su música. Los buscaré en spotify. Es poco probable que salga esta noche, mañana es lunes y hay que trabajar. Pero el viernes fui con mi novia a una pizzería nueva, cuyas pizzas personales eran gigantes, subestimamos el tamaño de sus pizzas No pudimos terminar de comerlas. También comimos pizza ayer en un cumpleaños. Creo que tendré una sobredosis de pizza este fin de semana, jajaja. Saludos!

Muchos animales se extinguirán por la contaminación.0 votedMay 20, 20180- Well, seems like I didn't keep my promise... I'm talking about my last notebook entry. (https://www.italki.com/notebook/417384/entry/902134) In it, I planned to write an entry every day. Two days had passed and nothing happened. But... I'm just kidding, it wasn't a promise, just a plan. Well, here I am... This monday and tuesday (may 14 and 15) were holidays in Paraguay, so last weekend was very long (and luckily, this week was very short). Me and my girlfriend took advantage of the long weekend to visit Salta, a beautiful city surrounded by hills and mountains in the north of Argentina. This city is located in the province of Salta, of the same name. It took about 17 hours by bus from our home, mainly for the strict control in the Argentinian border and routes (some routes were under repair also). We arrived at sunset. After checking in at the hostel we went to walk around the city. Salta has small streets, beautiful squares and ancient and well preserved buildings.. Also, has a remarkable Catholic influence since there are many Catholic churches in the city. The empanadas salteñas are served as an appetizer in all restaurants in the region. Usually two empanadas are served. They are delicious. We visited some nearby towns in the province of jujuy: tilcara, humahuaca, punamarca. They all have and keep it's own customs. They have a lot of ancient civilizations influence. Actually, the names of the towns and mountains are Quechua words. Also we visited Cafayate, a small town surrounded by vineyards. We tried wine ice cream in there (recommended). We made a quick visit to the oldest local winery, called Vasija Secreta (The Secret Vessel) and enjoyed the tasting of wines made in there. We ended up buying 7 bottles of wine. There are many colored mountains and wonderful rock formations in the region. We visited: el cerro de los 7 colores, el cerro de los 14 colores (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ymso4KtuCvY), el anfiteatro, la garganta del diablo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkV8163aVhg). On last day, we visited the Salinas Grandes. This is a large area, where the ground is white because it is covered with salt. It is very close to the Andes Mountain range and the Chilean border. In fact, the Andes Mountain range can be seen from there. It's a beautiful landscape. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Prnw4OmGQEE) Well, this was a brief summary of my last weekend. I could write more about it later. Also I could write about other trips I've made. What do you think? Thanks for reading me!May 19, 201820
- I hope this become a habit Hi, I'm Lucas and I think I should start to write here every day (or week) to improve my english skills. I'm good at reading and hearing, but when it comes to writing or speaking it could take hours to say something correctly. Actually, I have conversation classes in my work, but I never say anything, my classmates are very good speaking English, they talk a lot and I think they do not leave anything else to say. So, I need a lot of practice on that areas. I plan to write about random topics every day (or week), maybe about travels, work, series, everyday things, ... What do you think? Could you suggest a topic of conversation? Do you have any recommendations? I will really appreciate your help. Thanks! I hope this become a habit!May 17, 201831
El silencio
Se ha hecho de noche ya. Aún se oye el ruido en la calle. No sé adonde me llevan mis pensamientos; todo parece ser monótono en torno alrededor; muchas cosas me dan la jaqueca. A menudo me siento como si fuera un todo todo un ermitaño y tuviese ganas de escaparme de esta realidad bárbara. Pero, ¿adónde? ¿A un idilio? La vida es como un campo de batalla en el cual uno suele luchar por las mejores oportunidades, por los sueños. Para algunas personas es un sistema de ciertas estrategias, no obstante, para mi la vida es un silencio. No hay nada mejor que el silencio; los ruidos constantes no valen dos dabas, no tienen ningún sentido. El silencio es como una hondura (la profundidad) de un óceano: puedes engolfarte (sumergirte?) en tu propia subconsciencia y en la profundidad de tu propio propia alma; también ayuda a tomar una buena decisión, ya que es muy fácil acabar coceándo contra el aguijón entre tanto ruido.0 votedJanuary 21, 20180
