My party blog #8

I think many girls like  15 or 16 years think that they will have a Quincianera or Sweet 16 will have a party to celebrate. When I turned 15 I had a big party. My mom bought me my dress; it was ivory color and very long. I sent all the invitations to all of my friends and my family. I sent the invitations one month before the party.  I was very excited because I was thinking that they party was coming up.  I was preparing to my party, and I thought that this was the first time that I was going to share with all of the people that I love the day of my birthday.  For me, it was a dream to become true.  My little sister was excited, too.  She helped me out to buy the shoes that I was going to wear that night.  She always told me that I had to enjoy the day of my Quincianera that day because it was not coming to be again.  The big day was already there and I was anxious and happy.  My uncle from Los Angeles was coming to my party, and I was in Guatemala.  He went to my party because he told me I was a special person for him.  I went to the beauty salon, so the person that was in charged could do my hair.  I practiced few times for the dance in the night.  I had fourteen maids that accompanied me in the church and in the party. 

My uncle put flowers on the car that was taking me to the church, and my family was ready to go, too.  I was crying because I was emotionally happy.  I got to the church and one of my aunts ordered the fourteen maids in order.  My family went first and then the fourteen maids and finally the last that entered the church was me.  I looked around and people stared at me.  I felt my veins that were going to explode inside of me.  It was the first time that I was being the person that everybody looked at.  The service was finished and all of the people went to my party.  All of them got first and the last one was me.  Later at night I was dancing the song that a Quincianera dance for the first time.  While I was dancing at the party, the maids were around me like in a circle.  The song that I was dancing got stock and it was not good because it a shame for me because people were staring at me.  Each family brought me a gift that means that they received my invitation to go to my party.  My family at the end of the party gave thanks to all of the people that attended to the party.  When the party was almost over I had to change my dress, I have to wear another dress because I my life change from being a girl to be a woman.  I just realized that my life changed.  

Sweet Heart blog #7

My sister and I were moving furniture around at the room where the baby was going to sleep.  In the room were many things that we have to put in order because she wanted to fix everything before the baby was born. The big deal was to move the big furniture and the crib. This baby was going to be my second niece. When the day ended my sister was very tired. She had a pain on her waist. She was looking really bad and I was scare because nobody was at my house and my brother in law hadn’t come yet from work. My sister told me, “my baby is going to born, I feel very hard pain.” My sister couldn’t stay sit. She began walking at the house. Oh my God! I was in shock I didn’t know what I have to suppose to tell her. I was really nervous because my sister was yelling and nobody answers the cell phone. The minutes were long like hours.  I was trying to keep her walking and walking while my family got home. She was sweating. Her face looked red and sometimes white. She had putting her hands at her back like if she wants the pain becomes less. She asks for help and I didn’t what to do. In about in an hour my family arrived they get scare too. They took her to the hospital immediately. We went to the hospital and my brother, my younger sister, and I were outside of my sister’s room but my mom my brother in law went inside.  My sister had the pain from 9:00 pm to 5:00 am. Finally, we saw our brother in law walking toward us and he told us that our little baby girl had born. Everything with the little baby was ok. That was exciting and was happy for every one of us. After tree days we got them at home.

We had another member of our family. With this new born I was scare because I had never seen a women suffering like my sister was. Now when I have free time I take of the baby, she is sweet and her name is Valeria. Also, the doctor said something important that when I women is pregnant, and she is in her last days of pregnancy, she have to be careful and take care with what she does because that can make the baby comes before the time assign. This makes me understand that she shouldn’t move anything when she was fixing the room and now I knew it why.

Dangerous Home Blog #7

There was two houses, one was up on the hill and was down the hill.  My mom never left anybody goes into the down hill.  The curiosity was increasing by everybody especially by me.  One day my sister and I went through the house without telling my mom.   We went into the house and we saw many cans, spiders and rats.  As we were walking inside we were discovering many stuff old stuff. When we get into one of the room we were looking around.  We were on shock because there was a big black snake.  At this moment the snake was at the door and how we were going to get out the house. We couldn’t scream nor talk loud.  My sister and I were standing near each other.  It was late when my Mom was picking some sticks for the fire of my home.  We saw her by the window and we nock the window to know let her know that we were inside. She saw us and she went to the house.  After my mom get into the house, we told her that the right at the door was a snake.  She screams and she went for help. T he sun almost was setting and many people of the village come down.  They bring guns and rocks.   They tried to put some stick between them but they couldn’t hold the snake.  One of the guys tried to tore the wall and in that way we can get out of the room.  They broke the wall and we could get out of the room but they wanted to kill the snake.  The guys used their guns to kill the snake.  They shoot the snake and after a few minutes the snake was bleeding.  With some stick they pull it out of the house. It was already death.  It was really long snake.  The people cut in many peaces and put fire on it.  We were saved and we went home with my Mom.

Finally, we get home and when we arrived home my mom was really mad. We talk to her that never we were going to anywhere without telling her. My sister and I learned that sometimes is dangerous go to places that we don’t know. Also, we have to tell my mom where we are going to be because if something happen she is going to be there for help.

Angry Cow

His name is Rene and his sister’s name is Delmi.  Their grandma always sent them with lunch for their grandfather.  When they did walk through the path, they played with butterflies and flowers.  One day he and his sister crossed the river and they saw a cow toward them.  They shocked and they started running because the cow was following them.  The cow was following them at the river.  They were trying to cross a fence, but his sister got stock.  Rene pulled her toward him and she jumped on him.  Delmi noticed that she lost her sandal on the other side where the cow was.  Rene had to give her his sandal.  Rene had to walk with barefoot and they had to go around the fence to get where his grandfather was.  Their grandfather was very angry at them because they were late and he was hungry.  They were scared that the cow was going to run behind them, so they waited for his grandpa.  On the other hand, the grandpa was happy because they would help him in the land.  At the afternoon they were going home they saw the cow waiting for them at the other side of the fence.   Their grandpa was worry because they have to think how they were going to cross the fence.  They waited until the night to see if the cow leaves but the cow didn’t leave because it looked at them and smell them.  After a little while, the cow leaves and they could cross the fence.

They learned that when they are crossing other places they have to take care. Also they learned they have to wear shoes instead of sandal. Their grandpa told them that he don’t need more lunch because he was going to take of it. Rene said that this experience leaves them with some panic at cows and if he saw cows he feels that is going to happen again the same thing. All this happen when he was child and during ten years he was afraid of cows. I think if I were in the same situation I was going to be on panic too and I think I don’t know how the animals can react against me. I would be terrify and I would never take the lunch to my grandpa, specially if there is a long way and I don’t know what kind of animals are on the way.
