BASIC 5 WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?



That is a good question. There are many things that make me happy;for example when I spend time with my family or when I travel to Moyobamba, my home town, on my vacations. There are sad moments too. I feel sad when somebody in my family is sick or has an accident.When I am nervous, I usually blush or smile a lot. And I am angry when people lie to me. And what about you?

at last!!


Go Mario, Go! I remember my literature teacher in high school, she was so passionated when she talked about Mario. At first it was shocking for me, but then when she started reading extracts from his books. I will never forget those nice literature classes. Then after some years i had the chance of buying my first books and of course i bought Aunt Julia and the scriptwriter,it is my favorite,and then the others. He is such a great writer that he can write about almost everything and his writing styles are the best for me. Congratulations Mario.
