My imaginary friend ?

When I was young I thought I had an imaginary friend. Her name was Matilda. I met her one day when I was strolling in the garden of the backyard of my house. I had just moved into this house and the garden was huge. I didn’t know my way around and I would have got lost but Matilda showed me the way. My new house was almost as big as a mansion. But I liked it better at my old house. Back then my parents stayed more often too. Right now they are too busy with work so I usually stay at this big place by myself during the day with the maids. When I thought I was all along, something weird happened.
I met Matilda in a cloudy and raining day. I was seating on a rocky chair and starring at the rain drop. My parents had promised me to come home early today and spend the night to celebrate my birthday. As the clock ticks, my hope started to drop. I knew they may have probably forgotten what they told me earlier. I’ve been waiting all afternoon, but when the sun started to set, I decide to return to my room and let the books keep my company. When I was just about to stand up from rocky chair, I thought I saw something moving in the backyard. Out of curiosity, I walked out to the backyard and stand next to the little girl stone statue. I can assure you that I saw her blinking her eyes to me. I starred at her, but nothing happened. After a while, I believe what I saw earlier just my imagination. I turned around, about to walking back to the house, suddenly I heard a really soft voice spoke from behind “Kathy, how are you? You want to play?” I was shocked; I couldn’t believe what I just heard. I turned around very slowly, the little girl statue become to “live.” She blinked her eyes, and smiled at me. She said “hey my name is Matilda, do you want to be my friend?” I stunned, but soon, a smile raise on my face. Since ever we moved to this massive house, I haven’t made any friends. I was so exciting that I finally can have someone to play with. Matilda and I soon become the best friend. We chat; we draw, we chasing each other around in the backyard. We play a lot of games together, but our favorite game was hide and seek. Matilda was very good hiding, I can never find her. On the other hand, she always seems to know where I would be hiding. We enjoyed a lot together. I never told my parents about Matilda, because I had promised her that I won't say anything about her to my parents. One day, I was playing with Matilda in the backyard, and I decided to show her my favorite doll. I told her to wait for me in the backyard, and I left for my room to get the doll. As I entered the room, I saw mom walked in. This was the first time she came back home early in months. I was so exciting to see her. I ran up to her and hugged her. My excitement made me forgot the promise I made to Matilda. “Mom,” I screamed, “guess what? I just made a new friend, and her name is Matilda. I need to introduce her to you!” as soon as I finish talking, I suddenly realized what I just said. My mom looked at me with confuse and disbelieve. Although I knew I should not introduce Matilda to my mom, because she told me she doesn’t want anybody know her existence but me. However, I don’t want mom think I lied. I dragged her hand and walked towards the backyard. I thought Matilda would be fine with it. When we arrive the backyard, there were no Matilda anywhere, but the little girl statue. I spoke to the statue, “Matilda, I know I promised you to keep our friendship secret, but I think you will like my mom.” The statue didn’t give me any answer. I thought she didn’t hear me, I walked up closer and spoke another time to her, but the statue remained lifeless. I started getting worried, I shake the statue try to get “Matilda” to talk to me, but no matter what I do, “ she” just remain as an ordinary rock, My mom looked at me with love and lift me up “ oh, my poor Kathy, you must be so lonely so you had created an imaginary friend.” She continues “I’m really sorry, I should not leave you in this big house all by yourself, I promise you that mom will come back home early everyday and play with you.” At first, I just thought that Matilda was mad me so she doesn’t want to talk to me. But as time past by, I realize that she has gone, she will never come back to play hide and seek with me again. The little girl statue still in the backyard, but she never bilked her eyes me again.
I know all the people think that “Matilda” was just my imaginary friend, but I know from deep inside me that Matilda wasn’t just an imaginary friend.

What I think...

"They never say to you, "What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?" Instead, they demand "How old is he? How many brothers has he? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father make?" Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him.

Nobody is interested in the personality of that person is, they look the superficial part of that individual. It is like being in the market, if a new product came out; people buy it because it is new without knowing the real use of it. But, this is also work in the human situation, people are now realistic, they meet people who will give them advantage in some way, without caring about others feeling. I hate this kind of business relationship in the society. Very few persons are considering this topic as important, as human life has such a complex relationship. Sometimes, I feel like being an animal that have a simple life I would be happier than now.

"Here is the important part again: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

Many things we can deduce with our knowledge that we learn or experienced throughout our life. However, sometimes we face with decision that can’t be done by using our knowledge and instead of that we have to use our feeling, specially our heart, to make that decision which tells us the truth and the correct ways to go.

Safe Place

I kept walking along the little crave path, I’ve been wonder where this path is going to lead me to. Along the way, the spring flowers were blooming, the birds were singing to keep my company. I kept on walking and walking until a wall blocked my way. The wall is too high to claim over, too strong to break through, how can I reach to the other side of the wall?, I wondered to myself. I walked along the way, hoping to find a place that I can claim over. After I walked for about 10 minutes along this endless wall, a small door appeared in front of me. I walked up to the door, pushed it, and it opened in silence. I go inside full of curiosity. As soon as I entered, a sign greeted into my eyes. “Welcome to the Secret and Safe Garden, you will have amazing experience here. This garden will be the safest place in the world, as long as you promise to keep the secret.”
I walked toward the center of the garden, while walking, I heard a beautiful melody, like coming from heaven. I saw butterfly dancing around the flowers; I saw birds and squares playing together. There was a bench in the center of the garden, when I sat on it, something magical happened. I saw a little girl at first, but then i realised it was me when i 10 years old! It was a sunny afternoon, my friends and I were playing hide and seek. I was hiding in the Ms. Brown’s garden. She had plant beautiful flowers, specially roses!. The moment when i started to feel bored while waiting for someone to find me, an idea come into mind. I picked off almost half of the roses in the garden and throw it on the ground, I thought it was just a mischief, and nobody would find out. After I return to home late that day, I had completely forgotten what I did in Ms. Brown’s Garden. Later that night, Ms. Brown came to my house with a big bouquet of roses. She told my mom what had happened, but she didn't reproach me, all she said was “I think your daughter like my roses, here is my present for her.” I felt so guilty that day, but I also learned something precious. When somebody do something bad to you, you don’t have to treat them back the same way. Show them your love and caring, it might actually change them. Suddenly, the scene changed, I was standing in the stage about to perform. I remembered, that day was the first time I earned an honor in my life. I came to first in a dancing competition. The feeling was so good, I worked so hard for this competition, i did my best and I succeed! After a flash of blue lights, I come back into the present and I realized that it was getting dark! I promised my mom that I will return home before night. I got up from the bench and started to walk towards the door. “I will keep the secret.” I said to myself. I know I will come back to this Secret and Safe garden again, this place is full of magic, and I knew I will have more amazing experience!

Quotations for inspiration

“All of life is creating.” Dylan Smith, age 9.

This sentence sounds like from the bible, but I agree with this sentence that all of life is creating since life is full of miracle and creating. We can observe this from all the living organism in the world, such as a new offspring which is developed from only a spermatozoid and an egg and give us a complete organism that can eat, sleep, walk, etc

“I’m five-feet-four, but I always feel six-foot-one, tall and Strong.” Yvette Mimieux

The physical appearance of a person doesn’t really tell the whole story. Just like an old saying” you cannot adjudge a book by its cover” someone may be homunculus physically, but he can be a giant mentally. When a person is mentally strong and spiritually fulfilled, he will be a “giant” regardless of his physic appearance.

“A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.” Francis Bacon

A lot of people complaining that life is not fair to them, the reason they never succeed is because they never had any opportunities. Some people maybe luckier than the others, but a wise person will never use this as an excuse for their failure. If the opportunities don’t come to us, we can use all the things we learned to create opportunities. When the time you find yourself trying to opportunities, you will also find out you are getting “luckier”, more and more opportunities will present in front of you.

“If you are doing your best, you will not have time to worry about the failure.” Robert Hillyer

There is no guaranteed success in life, sometimes, even you tried your best, you can still fail. But success and failure is just an outcome, what more important is that what have you done along the way. We cannot know for sure what is going to happen next, but doing our best in this moment, will put ourselves in the best position for the next moment. I used to know that one would satisfied oneself by doing everything the best, but even though when you are not lucky, you could fail. Also, because you did the best, you always are afraid to fail.

“Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional” Roger Crawford.

I don’t agree with this sentence. It is not inevitable being challenged in life, you challenged something or somebody because you want to prove your skill or something that you have, but you are conscious of what are you doing, you can accept or denied, it is up to you. However, being defeated means that you haven’t prepared well, or didn’t do your best to succeed. Also, nobody wants to be defeated.

San Clemente!

Hi!!This photo's ve specials meaning for me. It come from my first holiday trip without any adults!

With my niece, we went to San Clemente for a week, and there, we gain lot of experiences that re usefull to take into account for our life.

We really enjoy those days although it happened many unexpective situations such us the moment when we just arrive to San Clemente and think that the driver have confussed the place because there re nothing around the station that we can see and say "how a wonderful place it is!" or "Yes, this's what i expected", it's all otherwayround, the bus station is very small and there is no more than 10 people around! The worst things that happened to us that day when we just arrive there is that we both re really hungry and the first thing we decided to do is to find a restaurant to eat, but the bad news that really shock us is that there is no food there no matter where we go before 9 o'clock! Other experienced is how the weather changed in only few hours there, when we went to the 'mundo marino' a hot sunny morning and when we were about to go home we decided to take a small train that goes through all mundo marino, but during the trayectory, suddenly, a strong storm came and it started to rain strongly! The hot weather dunring the morning can turned to very cold in the afternoon...the train can't continious with the trayectory and have to stop in the middle of the way under a big trunk waiting the rain to stop, we were very worry beacause first of all we were freezing, secondly and the most important is that we were afraid that the bus would leave without us as it's near time to leave.

The landscape of the photo was taken from the top of "Faro San antonio" and in the same place, thousands of crabs!

Despite of all the things that we didn't expected, we really enjoyed the good and bad moments we went through and we are very happy we re allow to make success trip alone, although we both ends up sick, with headache and cold :D

Where is my future?

18 years has passed, and I am almost finishing my youth period to get into another stage of life, where life is more complex than the school years. Yesterday, I lay in my bed and start to think about my future, what I would do when I finish my high school? I have just realized that right now I have never thought what I want, what is my goal, what is my interest. Every time that I asked somebody what are they going to do, they were pretty sure of what they want to do, all of them has their own dream. But where is my dream? I even don’t know what I am looking for…..-_-“. I hope to find something that I am really interested in, then my life would be enrich with a lot of significance stuff, not like now, every day after classes I just stay at house, but even if I go out, where I should go?
Studying is a pleasure, but it is only one year left, and time passes quickly. I am happy but at the same time worried, because my parent put a lot of expectation on me to get in to a foreign country’s University, and that put me under pressure, I am afraid to fail and disappointed them. After all, they have been working a lot to maintain me and my sister in a good family environment, I don’t want to disappoint them. However, since I was a child, I never trust in my self, always afraid of others look and when they put to much attention on me, that is why I try to do my best, I am afraid to fail in anything and then other people said that I can’t do anything. Ah!! Life is so difficult……

no title

There is no problem that can't be solved, but people who are not dare to face it.

Packaged Memories-- Unforgettable memory

I was constantly moving from one place to another, and I don’t remember how many stuff I lost…. But something that I really miss is the first gift that my parent gave me in my 6 years old birthday, they knew that I really liked it and had promised to buy me a new one, but I told them that it was not necessary because it won't have the same meaning as the first one. Last month, my mom sent me from Buenos Aires a great box that I left there since I came to study here. I was happy because there were a lot of beautiful things to be worth and memorize. I opened the box and took all the stuff out, suddenly I saw a small box wrapped with a shiny paper in the corner, I doubted what it is inside, when I opened it, I was surprised. It was my “first present”!!! How can it be possible??? There was a note that said: “your sister found this in coincidence, she knew that you really missed it, so we sent this to you with all others stuff you like.”
Want to know what was my first present??? It was a small Barbie doll with wings like butterfly, I really like this doll not because it was my first present, but because it was a very famous doll in that moment and it was very expensive, but my parent bought it to me in that moment when our family was in bad condition economically, that is why I feel affect to them, even I was 6 years old I could understand how difficult is for them to buy such expensive gift. Before I thought that they appreciate more my sister than me but since then I knew that they also love me. I was so happy, it was an unforgettable moment.
After I got this Barbie, that night I went to sleep with her and finally dream with her~~~
