This was my childhood

I lived in Quilpoco until I was eight years old, I had got very good times. I remember, when I was five years old I had a very wonderful party, It was my first birthday party. My aunt didn’t arrive early to the party, she arrived too late and she had to eat alone, she went out late from her work. It was a familiar party, I didn’t invite to another boy.

When I was eight, my mom got married, then we had to move to Rauco, my grandparents were very angry, but it was just for few days. One day, While I was playing with my neighbour, I met Mario, he has been my best friend since that day. We played every evening, we cooked together and we had very good times. Now he is studying in Curico but I often meet him.

Victor, the Merchant

Was upon a time, an old man called Victor, he used to be a famous merchant, he bought all kind of items, but sometimes he stole them, most of them were made of gold or silver. Victor covered an underground cave with all his treasures. Few days later he left his home and he moved to the cave.

Few people knew where it was located, Victor was very miserly and he just shared his secret with the mercenaries who he had hired to bring him new treasures. The Victor’s cave was located in a volcano which was in a small lost island in the middle of the Pacific. The entrance was very small, but he had a secret door, when he needed to put inside bigger things, he opened this door. Inside the cave had three ways and three rooms, they were very hot. By the left way it was the Victor’s room, inside there were four oil lamps, they were hanging in the ceiling, they lighted every side of the room, he didn’t used a bed, he slept in a lot of feather pillows, the walls of the room were decorated by a lot of artworks, at the end of the room he had swords and shields from many different countries. By the right way there was an underground lake, its water was boiling, at the middle of the lake was a stone platform and on this there was a giant statue of Victor, a part of his treasure was here, a part was under the water, and another part was by the wall. And finally the center room had the most important thing here was the most part of his treasure. Victor loved his home, he liked a lot live there. But Victor wasn’t a stupid man, he had a guard, it was a powerful manticore, he loved it. The manticore was very smart, it also can say some words, the mission of this animal was protect the treasure from the thieves.

One day, a lot of thieves came into the cave, but all of them were killed by the manticore, Victor knew no one can defeat it. The animal got his food from the people who want to steal some treasure.

Victor needed to get a special item, for that he called to a famous mercenary called Johan, he had to get a special shield from a boat, it was very easy. Victor waited patiently until Johan arrived. He brought the shield, but he didn’t give it to Victor. He was very angry, for that he freed the manticore. Johan fought hardly against this monster, finally, he won and the manticore was killed.

-You’re next- Johan said.

-It is treason- Victor said while he was running away.

-You can’t hide!-Johan said.

Later, Johan caught Victor and he killed him. It was the end of the Victor story. By his own greed he was killed, his own mercenary did that, and actually all Victor’s treasures are hiding in that secret place, only God know when someone will find them.

It happens with me, when I go shopping...

I am going to talk about shopping. Honestly I don’t like go shopping very much. For example, if I need some new clothes, first, I go to look for some new t-shirt, pant or sweatshirt, then my mother must go to buy it. Sometimes, I have gone to buy my own clothes, I have been all the day trying to find something I like, when I have found a nice t-shirt, or something like that, I go and take it, I check it very well, the I say: “ It isn’t very nice”. I remember when I went shopping with my godmother, it was one month ago, she was with me all the day, at the end she wanted kill me.

If I think well, buy clothes is very tedious for me, but buy gifts, too. I hate buy gifts, a friend invited me to her wedding, but I don’t idea what Ican buy to give her, for christmas and birthdays it’s the same. Against this, I like very much go to buy to the supermarket, and if I am alone, it’s better. I think I can find th necessary items in few minutes, the problema is when I am walking by the aisle and I see something I like, I buy it. When I finish to buy, I realice that I have bought many things I don’t ned and I haven’t got enough money to buy the most necessary things. When I’ve got my own money, although it is only a few, I buy all the unneeded things, I can go walking by the street and If I see the most stupid thing of the world, I buy it. I can’t save my money, it is very difficult for me.

That’s all, I don’t know what more I can say about shopping, good bye, and have a nice week.

My perfect dinner

My perfect dinner would be in a Chinese food restaurant, it isn´t my favorite food, but now I would like to eat Chinese food, well, come back to the original topic, I would prefer the date would happen in the restaurant called Dinastía, it is at the second floor over a store, in Curicó. I think Dinastía has very good food and the atmosphere is very nice.

About my partner’s date, I will just say she is a hard-working woman, but she is kind too, I like her smile and the jokes she says. I won’t say her name.

We would go to dinner in the evening, I prefer Friday around 8 o’clock pm, we would walk by the downtown and come in some stores, then we would go up the stairs to the restaurant, it has a little fountain inside, I would like to sit next to this, but I think she would like to sit by the window. When the waiter arrives, we´ll ask for a dish of wanton, I like it very much, then some of chaufan rice and pork chapsui or Mongolian meat. We would drink just soda, but if she prefers we can drink wine. The restaurant has fantastic desserts, we would ask for a Celestin or Whatchamacallit, but it is a slim, fried and smooth mass, it has vanilla ice cream inside, and chocolate sauce coats it. As a good gentleman, I would pay the bill, but I think she would decline. We would go out and then we would go back home, I would carry her to her home’s door and I don’t know what will happen later…
