Longboard Adventure: Parramos

Well, I will say that my greatest adventure in my life was when I went to Parramos which we longboarders call Volcanoes Bay.

It was a friday when we all got together to skate like every day. We have been told that there was a place called Parramos which was near Antigua Guatemala. They told us great things about that place like for example than you can go 90 kilometers per hour on a skateboard. We also have seen videos about that place so we were very exited to visit that place.

That same day, each one of us start asking our parents if they can get us there and we all got a 'no' from our parents but my friend Oscar Oliva kept asking her father until he say yes. We finally get to know parramos. We were so happy that we actually did not sleep that knight.

On Saturday, Oscar's father told us to gather on his house at 7 a.m. so on friday I start preparing all my things. Finally my mom took me to Oscar's house. Oscar was taking Jovan, Cris, Stephen, and me to Parramos. We got ready and put all the things on the car and we start going to our best adventure ever, Parramos. we were on the car for 2 hours because the dad of Oscar drove like 50 kilometers per hour. On that two hours we got desesperated but also nervous and exited. I remember every detail about that day. I remember when we say a mountain and we all said that it was a nice mountain to do downhill skateboarding and Jovan said that it was impossible to went there because it was going up and i remember when we all told him that then you just go uphill and then downhill. He was very stupid. The thing is we spent a good time.

Finally when we got to Parramos we were very scared because it was a scary hill. Let me show it to you:

When we were about to throw ourselves from that hill, let me tell you, it was VERY scary the first time and the second one it was less scary. We all throw from that hill. You know, it was very sad because we just throw 2 or 3 times because it started raining. Even that we had a very exited time and we all know that we just had another level of longboarder.

Then we got to casa y campo and continue longboard. I remember every detail about that day which change my life as a longboarder. After that day I have just go one time to Parramos in my life. I almost fell that day. The first time I went to Parramos is never gonna erase from my mind for being the most exiting day I have ever had in my life. I only got one problem that day. That I had my longboard too soft so when I was going 85 or 90, my longboard start shaking and I almost fell. On  that moment I got very scary but other 3 people also fell. A friend o mine felt because he was going 90 and a men carrying wood, got in front of him so he fell, the man who was carrying the wood just went another place running and he did not help my friend. It was very funny but we finally catch the wood men and he kept saying that the accident was not his fault.

Another thing I did not like from Parramos it was that when you get on your skateboard, some evil dogs start chewing you and following you like they want to eat you. But the bad part is not that they follow you because if they follow you, you just hit the on the face, the problem is that they get in front of you and you fell, the they eat you when you are already on the floor.

Weather : Not That Simple

For me and my life weather is not just something simple. Here on my condominum "Casa y Campo" is very important how the weather is. We all skate here in Casa y Campo so we can only skate when its not raining and we always skate when there is not even a cloud. I sincerly like rain because I like the sensation of being inside my house when its raining outside. When there is not too much rain, I love to get outside and skate with my friends but when the rain its too much, I hate that kind of weather. I hate it because I just get sad and I can only be inside my house which means I can not get together with my friends, not even to skate. What I mostly hate is that when there is raining too much, and I already have finish homework, I have nothing to do. I get deseperated of being inside and doing nothing but watching TV or listen to music. Meanwhile I do this things, I just talk with my blackberry and start thinking the things I'v made that day and the things I could do if there wouldn't be any rain.

In the otherside, when its very sunny, I always get out. When I'v homework and there is a sunny day, I am always thinking and trying to hurry up with my homework so my mom let me go out with my friends.

When there is a sunny day, the time goes very fast for me so I'm always late at my house because I have to be on my house at 6 or 5 depending on the day. Today is a good example of a sunny day. The problem is that two girls visited me so I didn't do my homework and now until 8p.m. I am doing my homework. I hope this is my only homework or I'm dead.

In less words, when there is a rainy day, I can not meet with my friends and got desesperated and depressed because I can not get out and in my house i am just doing... nothing. In other words when its sunny I always get out, meet with my friends, skate, and have a pretty good day but at the end my mom punishes me because of getting late. I think that sunny days makes people feel more good and behave better and more funny. With the rainy days is totally the opposite.

Now not talking about relationships, I feel better with the cold weather because the hot weather gets me desesperated. I love rain and also relax deppending on how well my day was.

I tihnk weather does not have to affect you and how you behave. You just have to be how you are. Of course  we all change our behavior deppending on the weather. Perhaps you do not believe this but with the sunny days I behave in a bad mood with my parents but get to meet a lot of people.

Well, I hope my literature teacher likes this blog because my mood now is good, a little desesperated of doing homework and also of not getting to write 650 words. My life has not changed or not being affected by the weather at all. I just don not care of getting wet by the rain or get to sweat because both ways, I get wet.

Well still not to get to 650 words. Perhaps some times weather affects my life because my girl got mad one time because I did not saw her for like two weeks. On those two weeks I did not saw her because of two reasons. One it was that I skate every day. The other one is that it was raining too much. The thing is that she eventually got happy again with me.

Another bad experience is that I did not went to Xetulul like 4 times because it was raining. Well now I already get to 650 words so I will go to take a bath.

How One Night Change My Life

The most important people I have ever met in my life were the skaters from 'Casa y Campo' condominium. It was an October 31 when my life completely changed. A friend from school that lives in 'Casa y Campo' told me to visit her for halloween because all of the children and teen from 'Casa y Campo' will go to her house. I went there alone on my green and fast motorcycle. Actually I was not able to ride it because I was too young but I didn't care. The things is that I went to her house around 7 p.m.  with other friends from school and we went all over the condominium asking for 'trick or treat, halloween'. It was pretty fun but after we got tired we went to a house in which all were gonna get together.

My cousin lives in 'Casa y Campo' but 1 year ago, I didn't gather with he and his group. That halloween I met them and they seem pretty funny. They all had different suits. My cousin painted his black hair to green hair and I don't know how, but he looked like Dracula. Actually all of them were withy Dracula suits but all were different. I just had an 'Afro'.

That same night but like at 8 p.m., we start playing 'chiviricuarta', which is a game like hide and seek but much more complicated. We played in groups because we were like 30 children. Oh, I forgot to say that in that night, I met my future girlfriend and when I saw her, she was like the dream girl because it was dark and I didn't saw her pretty well. I know its rude, but now a days I repent of being (before) her boyfriend. That day when I saw her, she looked like the prettiest girl I'v ever seen. She was with some mini shorts, blonde hair, light brown eyes, and with a hair style that make her seen like a 'good girl'. Of course she wasn't.

Now talking about the skaters or my cousin friends, they liked me that night because spend a very good time together. A good thing was that they were all the same age as I was (14 years) and that they all live on the same condominium as I do. The 1st of November, they all went to my house asking if I skate,I told them that I had bought a longboard last year, so we went to skate. I was pretty ashamed because I didn't know any trick so I saw a trick they were doing and I tried it. I fell. but I had the ability to skate. On the month of November we start looking and getting together with my friends and with the blonde hair girl I saw that night.

I had a pretty good impression of all of them including the girls. As I start meeting with the skaters, I start learning a lot so I bought another longboard. And with the girl, we meet all the mornings because we were on vacations. I liked and still like a LOT 'Casa y Campo'. There is always good weather and there are many things to do. For example, gather with friends and if its raining you can go to 'Casa Club'.

Getting back to the theme, I made a bet with the blonde hair girl in which I need to kiss her, but just a kiss. Then  she told me that I need to go in pajama to her house and if I didn't do it, then I would give her something more than a kiss. Of course I didn't went on pajama so I kissed her. You may think its funny but we just started kissing a lot and she was not my girlfriend. Actually is funny. One day I took her to a big garden in 'Casa y Campo' and ask her if she want to be my girlfriend and she say yes. Here is were I can tell you how first impressions can cheat you. We only last like 3 or 4 weeks. Maybe 5, not sure. The thing is that I broke up with her because she was giving me too much love or too much affection, in a bad way. I hope you understand what I mean.

The first impression of the skaters is still the same as that day when my life got better. I hope they got a good impression of me. That day change my life in all ways and I will never forget it. My life would be way different if that day would it be different.

An Important Person, MOM

An important person I would say it is the one that you care about and that he or she cares about you or also someone that has a history with you. In my case, an important person for me is my mom, casually today it’s her birthday. She is 49 now. She has taught me everything I now in my life. First thing is that she took me everywhere when she was pregnant for 9 months; also take care of me always for 15 years and she will be taking care always me. She is important because she is a good person and when I say good I mean someone who has learn the bad way in life. Not because she want it that way but because that’s how God want it to be and for all the things she suffered in the past, she is the person she is right now. She is the person I most admire in this world and when I say this I mean it, not like other people that just say it. I love her and admire her more than anyone. 

One of her qualities is that when I do something bad, she do not yell at me, she talk to me about it and makes me see my mistake. I think, like most of adolescents, that I have not demonstrated my mom how much I love her and how much thankful I am with her but I know she knows it.

God sent our family many tests and my mom was the one that more suffer from this tests. Even that, she NEVER give up, she always kept fighting and always saw the positive things from "problems". Something I have learned from my mom is that "problems do not exist, they are just tests from God and the tests will only make you stronger.

We sometimes reclaim our mom that we work too hard and that we deserve a "price", and we never think that our mom carry us for 9 months, take care of us ALWAYS, love us, give us what we need, and give us more that we need for FREE. We are just not fair with our parents. Lets think about all they have done for us for 15 years. Lets think about this big test called LIFE.

People do not appreciate friends, family, etc. They just think about the bad things of other people and do not see the good things. Seeing the good things would make a better world.

For my mom i would do everything for her. I would die for her because she bring me to the world and make me who I am. Situations make her who she is. She is a strong person, funny person, straight person, and many more things that I would never stop saying. I'm proud of be her son, even I have done many bad things that she would be ashamed of me, she loves me. Having someone important in your life makes you feel secure and with confidence. 

Many times my mom inspires me to do a lot of things. I would like to make a book or make people know her so they know how hard is her life and see her as a happy  and positive person. People constantly are complaining about his or her problems and they do not think positive and do not think about other people problems. Many people just give up and doing that will just take he or her to a bad feature. 

Always have someone in which you can trust and you know he or she likes you just the way you are, cause thats how you need to be with other people, like him or her just the way she or he is and do not try to change them. Thats how the world should work. Just be you.
