People say that summer is the best part of the year, but why would people say that? Is it because school is over? Or is it the climate which makes us feel that way? I personally prefer clouthy days, not which a big shinny sun, nor rainy, just clouds blocking out the sun, because a shinny sun makes me feel tired, and makes my head ache, but rainy days make you feel down, sometimes even sad, you get sick, you just want to be on bed all day.

I prefer a cold from a hot, sunny day, because when you are cold, you just get a sweater on, drink some hot chocolate, and you wont be cold any more, but in hot, sunny days it wont matter how much water you drink, you need air conditioning to feel fresh.

weather affects our mood, I for example, when it is cold, I have more energy, I can make sports and barely get tired and I feel happier, and more relaxed, but when its hot I feel like doing nothing, I feel tired, I have much less energy, I feel kind of sad and stressed, and sometimes, I feel angry, the worse thing of hot days, the thing that gets me more stressed, and the thing i hate the most of hot days is, that in the night it is really hard to sleep, I get all wet because I sweat, I get sticky, I feel upset, stressed, useless, so finally I get into a fight with my bed, and I throw all of my beadspreads away, finally, the bed wins, and I can not sleep, or at least not calmly, nor for a lot of time.

Even though I don not like sunny days in a lot of ways, I like them because I can play soccer, because grass is green and there is no rain, so grass wont be wet.

My favorite type of day is cloudy day, the type of day I hate the most is sunny day.

So, I am going to talk about some one special, someone who changed my life, and also I am going to talk about my first impression about her, so for this I would like to get to the very begining, not when I was a little kid, but when I did not knew her.

It did all started when I decided to get into Guitar Idol, it is an international guitar contest, with more than 1,500 contestants. Thanks to a friend´s mom, I got an interview with Carretera News, it is a small newspaper wich keeps going because of advertising, and makes a weekly edition, and only gets to Carretera a El Salvador, so I had no hufe expectations from that, but it was a great oportunity for me to be a little more recognized and to get some votes for Guitar Idol, wich still was on clasification stage.

They gave me a space in their newspaper, something I really appreciated, but I knew it was not getting me a great chance, or at least I thought it was not. The edition came out on saturday, as it always do, it was a normal saturday for me, I did even went playing soccer with my family´s team, but when I came back and turned my computer on, I decided to get to my hotmail, just to see if there was any news from Guitar idol, and I saw a message, a youtube-personal message, coming from "sitiofabiola", I immidiately though about Fabiola Rodas, a really famous guatemalan singer, but I said to my self, "no, she would never call me"; but still I was curious about it, so i opened it, and effectively, it was her, I was so happy, I read the message really quickly, where they asked me to participate on a project with them, I just ran to my garden, where my family was, asking for my mom, I was like "mom, mom! where are you!?", but she was not home, so I told the rest of my family, they immidiately got so happy, I remember my aunts just started shouting, they were like "oh!, are you serious? this is great!", and I was like "yes, I am serious!", but I had to tell my mom the great news, so I graved the phone and called her, and I told her, of course I had to let the phone away for like five mins, since she was shouting real hard.

When my mom was home, we decided to answer the e mail, and sent them my mom´s phone number, we were actually doubting if it was them or if it was some kind of extortionist, and we said "well so lets wait for them to call", I just said my mom "well I am sure it would be a lot of time for them to call, if they even do". Then I just sat on my chair, and started watching TV, all of the sudden, my mom got into my room, I remember the joy I felt, I almost pee on my pants.

I remember she said, "American visa he has, mmm no mexican he does not", when I heard that I was like "Oh! God!", when my mom stopped talking, we got down stairs and got the family together, and she, without me knowing what they said, gave the announcement, and said "they want us to meet at Starbucks on monday!" everyone started shouting happily, and my aunts took a camera out and took pictures, it was a complete party!, of course the other day, sunday, the house was a mess, but it was just one more day of waiting for me, I was really nervous.

The big day had come, they changed the appointment to Skala´s Barista, and it was going to be one hour earlier, we were late, five minutes late, but we felt like we were going to loose the opportunity, I remember we were running and shouting "hurry! maybe they are there al ready!", and when we got there, there was nobody, we started thinking, "maybe they left"it was al ready an hour late, and there was no signs of them, I remember that I got really excited with every car that came to Skala, of course none was theirs, so we were going to leave, when my mom called Fabiola´s father, he said "yes we are going, just that we found traffic on the way, but she and her mother are going apart, so I think they must be close.

Finally they came in to barista, I was really nervous, I did not knew how she was going to be, I thought "is she haughty, or is she humbble?" when she came in, she was wearing a jeans, a torn one, and she had a shirt, she was wearing high shoes, and she had black glasses, when she came closer, I recognized her immidiately, and I thought "how should I say hi, with a kiss or with my hand?", so I extended my hand, and she said hi with a kiss.

We made the deal, and a trip to Mexico was already planned, and I was going with them. We have done many concerts, in Mexico, Xetulul, Zona 1, Teletón, ect.. and I think we are good friends now, she is a great person, and she special for me, because she is not only a singer with whom I work, she is a friend, she game the chance of shinning, and I took it, and I am taking the best out of it, I know that this is    God´s work, because, well I never thought that being in a little interview in Carreterea News was going to get to where I am now, but it did, because God loves me, and he knows this is what I want, and he knows that I am not going to waste it; I know it wont be forever, but as long at it lasts, I will be enjoying every second of it.

What I learned is that, you always get from God, more than you expect getting, and that believing in God, and doing and respecting his will, is the only way of getting things back, so I try to help when ever I can, I try to be a good son, brother, friend, and student, and even though some times I can not be, God knows that I am trying, and I know he is watching me, and taking care of me, and that he is always going to give me the chances that are good for me.

I used to watch Fabiola singing on "La Academia" and I never thought she was going to sing with me, but here I am now. So expect least, and you will get the best, be good and you will get great things, be bad and you will get worse things.

I remember when I first moved to Carretera a El Salvador, everything was empty, no houses, no roads, not much cars, nor the bridges we have now, there was no Pradera Concepción, instead there was a huge forest. There was no traffic, I remember that my old school was at zona 15, and my brother and I had to get to school before 7:30, if I want to be there before that time now, I have to get out of my house at 5am., but back then I just had to get out of my house at 7am so it was just half an hour of travel, and some times, when we got there early, my father took us to a Mc Donald´s wich was close to our school, and we ate our breakfasts there.
At the colony where I live, there were not much houses, I remember it was only my house, wich was being built, and one more house that was at the corner of my block, now there are around 200 or more houses. At  my colony´s park was a field, it had no goals, nor basketball field or a way to the trees, I remember there was a river, and there was no barrier from the field to the river, and sometimes there were snakes or rats in the field so it was actually dangerous being there, so my brothers and I just could stay home the whole day. Now we have a football soccer field at the park, we also have a basketball field, and a little kids-play area, where we have a slide, a wood castle for kids, swings, railings, and other type of kids games, I remember we had a little forest were my mom, my grandma, my brothers and I used to play, we also had a little mountain were we used to threw our selves over cardboard, now the forest is gone, and instead of the little mountain they did a little way to the threes far away. Besides my house there is a new mall wich was not there eleven years ago.
When my mom wanted to make her shopping, wether it was just food, or clothes shoping, she had to go to pradera zona 10, I remember we used to visit that mall really frequently with my mom, since we loved to go and watch things, and I loved to go with her to Paiz, I remember that we also loved to go to Pizza Hut, at zona 15, she went to pick my brother and I up to school, and we had to leave him at a building for an hour, so that we almost went to eat at pizza hut, since it was just in front of the building.
Places change, people change, and all we can do is adapt and get used to changes, because if the world would always stay the same, what would make living so exciting and great? where would we be supposed to get excited?
