A holiday you had.

I remember a funny story that I once had. This happened three years ago. I was worked in
the warehouse of Gigante-Huila and then a friend named Andres came to visit me. he told
me he had some friends in Neiva and that night there was a party at a bar called metropolis.
He told me at that party will dance beautiful women he knows. I accepted the proposal for
partying that night.
I left work at six in the evening and went home to shower and get ready for the trip. at seven
in the evening we went out with my friend on my motorcycle to Neiva, And then a few
minutes later began to rain. Anyway, we were on our trip to Neiva and do not stop.
we continue on the trip and later started to rain harder. that night we was going wrong with
the trip because the rain never stopped. We arrived late to the party in Neiva and we have not
had much luck on the trip because we arrive wet for the rain. we came to party and we dance
with the beautiful women of Neiva and we was going well that night.

It happened when I was almost a baby, it happened in bogota, it was a party for babies and it
was made in an amusement park. When I was riding on a plane that was circling on the pool, I
tried to get me down from the small plane, but it was circling yet, like I was a very young
girl I dindnt realize about this, and finally I fell down to the water.
My oldest brother who was far way, but had seen the incident, jumped like a hero to save me,
although he got take me out of the water, I already had drunk a lot of water and all my
clothes were wet.
I cried a lo about the scared I had felt under the water, but finally thank to GOD and to my
brother, I am here telling to you this anecdote, that is why I love my oldest brother, because
until today he had continued saving me of lots of problems.

Funny birthday?
I remember when I turned my fifteen years, for the first time my parents let me go out
with friends to a nightclub, had arrived home at eleven o'clock at night, we were accompanied
by a niece, when you reach the club began the fun dance to say no more.
When I realized it was the twelve o'clock, I went and looked for my niece to go home but she
told me to wait until one morning convinced me and wait until the time you told me but then
told me to the two and so it went until three in the morning, I decided to go there alone with
a friend to the house.
It was a very boring birthday because all the time was aware of the time.
