Hey...what a hassle!! (ja I just learned) I couldn´t write the 2nd entry of last week I had a problems that´s why that I´m writting it right now....well as you know the teacher is giving us some readings that are really interesting because they let me know more about other countries or cultures for example the three talk about names.
The first one is something that happened with the President Bill Clinton he thought that in Korea the women should have the husband´s name but he was wrong, in Korea and Japan have the same tradition: the women or wives keep the maiden names, here in Mexico is different when they get married retain the maiden name and add the name of their husbands; the 3rd reading is similar because talks about maiden names too, but the difference is these women had to change their names because of their husbands. I think that men are insecure or... I don´t know because they think if we change our names maybe in this way we demonstrate that we love them I´m not agree with this opinion is not necessary to do this kind of things. Another thing is that they want to control us if we do that, like the woman in the reading says is something that happened to her... we´re not slaves of them ja.
In the 2nd one is about 2 girls that don´t like their names. I like only my first name: Gilda, the second I don´t: Edith it doesn´t sound pretty I would never change it because is my mother´s name too. If I have a child I´ll name, if is a girl Silvia Sofía (I love this name), a boy maybe Mario Alejandro. Nowadays there are some parents that name their children with a horrible names for example I know a person that his name is Gaudencio another one Próspero Hemeterio.....nooooo can´t you believe it!!! :S if I had those kind of names I´d suicide myself jaja i´m just kidding....
I think that´s all guys see u...bye bye... and remember BE HAPPY!!!!
Hey in my first entry i´ll talk about my vacations...a great experience!!. These vacations I traveled alone I got nervous when I was in the boarder getting the permission I went to Austin, Texas. There lives my cousin´s mom well in little town of Austin called Buda, Texas, I was there 3 months. I said that it was a great experience because I worked at first as a babysitter like 1 month and 1/2 (I had never worked as it) I was taking care of a little boy: his name Aiden Guerrero, he was 1 month and a half, I had to change his diapers, feed him while his parents were working, I thought that it was easy, of course not sometimes he cried and I wondered why??. His parents were a nice people with me, during the time that I worked with them I stayed with Aiden´s grandparents, they were a nice people too sometimes we went to the outlets where Mrs. Guerrero took me photos in a beautiful fountain that was in there and I bought some things. After that, I worked as housekeeper (cleaning houses). There were a BIG houses maybe with 5 or 7 bathrooms each one with a tub, 4 bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, dinner room... WOW!! really beautiful, inside of them there were stuff animals like deers, it was exhausted working as housekeeper but I can´t lie we earned per house like 60 or 80 dollar but in the other hand it was a good opportunity for me because I could practice the language that I´m studying: English. Well I think that´s all for today next entry I´m going to talk about......
If young people in my country want to get married, first, they should love and respect each other and to think about it because is difficult to live together, remember that a successful marriage depends on two things: finding the right person and being the right person" , then they must get the permission of their parents, after that the man has to visit his future wife´s family for coexisting and talking with her parents about the "future wedding" and its preparations...
