"You´d think a guy would like to die living a life like this." (Harrison,30)

Dear diary,
Live in war is an endless game, we are six days in the front, six days at rest and back to the round, this is the routine that has been made for us. While on trenches we have to be careful with everything: talking, smoking during sentry duty and even in hiding cause any mistake can caused us our lifes. While laying in our shattered trench, wet to the skin, we had been hiding for a German sniper, thinking that death is a more appealing idea than our daily life but fearful of this option. We are still looking for survival. The parapet of our trench felt so we have to be very careful in order to not get shot. I was a little scare because it didn´t protect us at it used to.We miss a lot of things: our families and friends, food, our home. Sometimes we think about our families we know that we are here for them but it makes us think that maybe we will not have the oppotunity to tell our them all the adventures we have passed.While I am in the trench I think about all the things I haven´t done and enjoy; I know I am missing a lot of things that will never repeat, it makes me sad but I hope that when I return there woul be a lot of opportinities for me and this experience would make me stronger. I´m sure my family is proud of me but I hope that God gives me the chance to see them again. I´m very fearful about the idea of dying, but the things that we passed everyday sometimes makes me doubt about what I prefer. I hope to remain alive of this trench and that soon the war finishes.

10 things I hate about you....

10 things I hate about 

I hate the way you talk to me, 

and the way you cut your hair.

I hate the way you drive my car, 

I hate it when you stare. 

I hate your big dumb combat boots 

and the way you read my mind. 

I hate you so much it makes me sick,

it even makes me rhyme. 

I hate the way you´re always right; 

I hate it when you lie. 

I hate it when you make me laugh,

even worse when you make me cry. 

I hate it when you´re not around, 

and the fact that you didn´t call. 

But mostly I hate the way I don´t hate you, 

not even close,

not even a little bit,

not even at all.

I love this poem first of all because 10 things I hate about you is one of my favorite movies also because it talks about two different feelings that the author has but they are completely opposite. It had happened to me and it makes you feel desperate because you don´t know what to do. Sometimes these all things that make you hate somebody are the same that make you love him. It is a complicated decision to choose between the things you hate and like of somebody even more if there are the same. In some cases you have to accept all the defects that someone has because you love him. The line of the poem I like the most is “But mostly I hate the way I don´t hate you” because it means that even though all the stuff she loves him. The defects of somebody are the things that make him special and different from the others. When you are in love of a person you can overcome all the problems or obstacles you can face. I love this movie and it makes me believe in love.

Most of the people like to drink coffee. It is one pleasure that people can´t avoid in their daily life. Some people drink it in the morning, at night or all the day. Many people think that is not healthy to drink coffee. There are some positive and negative effects of the coffee:

Volver a comenzar by Cafe Tacvba

Si hiciera una lista de mis errores
de los menores hasta los peores 
que expusiera todas las heridas 
los fracasos, desamores y las mentiras 
Ofreceré el aroma del ámbar 
ofreceré el cedro y mis lagrimas 
con la paciencia del mar esperaré 
oda una vida a que sane la confianza 
Si volviera a comenzar, 
no tendría tiempo de reparar 
Si hiciera un viaje a mis adentros 
y sobreviviera a los lamentos 
pediría fuerzas para decir cuanto lo siento 
si volviera en un viaje a mis adentros 
Si volviera a comenzar, 
no tendría tiempo de reparar 
el agua derramada está 
la sed que siento no saciará 
 

¿Cuántas cosas más puedo guardar? 
¿Cuántas cosas puedo atesorar? 
Dulce tentación de dejarlo todo 
¿Cuanto espacio más quiero ocupar? 
¿Cuántas cosas me puedo llevar? 
dulce tentación.... 
de dejarlo todo 
dulce tentación.... 
regalarlo todo 
Si volviera a comenzar 
no tendría tiempo de reparar 
El agua derramada está 
la sed que siento me sanará 
el agua derramada está 
la sed que siento me sanará.

I love this song named “Volver a Comenzar” by Café Tacvba because it has a big meaning to me. This song talks about the mistakes people have in life and how sometimes you regret but you can´t go back. I know I had made many mistakes but I think the best you have to do is to realize and accept that you made a mistake and try that this never happen again. Sometimes you want that everything could start again in order to have the chance to change all you have done in the wrong way, but it is not possible and you have to learn about your mistakes. People are human beings and anybody is perfect, that means anyone can make mistakes. Some mistakes are little and others are the biggest you can make in your life, some of them you can correct it but some others would have changed your complete life. All you can do is learn about each mistake and deal leaving with consequences that every single action has, because even though you regret about doing it, it would help you mature and you would never did it again.  This song explains perfectly how people feel depressed because they can´t change what they did and that is why I love it and also it is a song of one of my favorite Mexican bands. 

Lost in Hamilton.......... please help us!!!!

One Saturday night two friends and I went to Starbucks because one of them named Vale was very hungry and also we wanted to know about our parents and other friends, because in Linden we haven´t Internet. It was the first day we will go to this Starbucks so we don´t know how to arrive there, but we remembered that someone had told us that we have to take the bus number 7 in order to arrive there.  At 9 o´clock we took the bus and we asked the bus driver where the Starbucks was, he told us and finally after walking some blocks we arrived there. We ate, drunk coffee and chat with some friends. Time passed and we decided to return, we realize it was 11 o´clock, it was raining, we don´t know how to return and we only have one hour because our curfew is at 12 o´clock.  We ran but we didn´t know where we can get the bus, the streets were alone and dark, all the stores were closed and we didn´t know what to do.  We went to a bus stop and stayed there for many minutes but any bus passed, so we decided to walk. We don´t know any street, my friends and I hadn´t ever been there, all the houses looked like in a scary movie, we were very scared. We were walking in a street and suddenly a car stopped besides us, we didn´t know what to do if run or cry, I will start crying but the driver turn around to saw us and continue their way. Vale, Clau and I were expecting the worst; after we walked for several minutes a Convenience Store appeared, we felt release. I asked the casher if he knew where Jackson´s Square was and he answered me with this question: What is that? I wanted to die.  It was 11:30 and the three of us decided to continue walking, we took the right street but then we realized to return and to take the left street. When we were at the corner Vale turned around and saw a bus, we ran as faster as we could to get it. It was the same bus that we took the first time, I feel release and I have never felt as relaxed like when I got on the bus that night. Finally we arrived to our residences at 11:45; I will never forget this experience.
