touching life history...

A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box.

Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible. Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business.

He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.

He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the Bible.

It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words...PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?

People in my Country,hwk....

Hi! these last weeks had been very relax !!!and are coming soon the vacations ,wow!!!this "semester"was very short don't you think so?well I'll tell you something about people unconscious in our country...

In general, people in my country are less conscious about the environment, most of the time when they are driving, they use to throw the garbage, also in the streets people never put it in the baskets and they omit the notices about the growing of the ozone layer, the contamination of the rivers and ground.
If we could change our minds, the world would be different, the air would be more clear, life in the rivers for the animals and plants would be more large and we could have a better city where we could live peacefully with clean streets, but it’s something hardly impossible because people don’t pay attention to the advise that in few years the water will be insufficient and nothing will be the same so you should be more conscious about it and start putting the garbage in the correct place.

Changing Maiden Names,,it's difficult

The reading is a kind of fun because umh?? , I asking myself how men can think that if you don’t want to change your maiden name means that you don’t love them. It is a ridiculous thought,don’t you think so?

In Mexico, I don’t know if these things happen but sometimes wives change their maiden names only in special occasions but not legally, for example when couple will have a wedding of any of their sons in the invitations say "Mrs. Ana Martinez de Fernandez",using the last name of the husband. It’s acceptable.

Change your maiden name???it isn’t a good idea ‘cause if you don’t conserve your identity you could feel like the woman in the reading, like if you disappear….Could be that your husband wants to control you and it sound horrible , nobody have to tell you the things that you have to do, if your husband really loves you, it doesn’t matter and you would conserve it, also you should think in the possibilities that you maybe could have in the future, if you get to divorce the problems that it causes.

Though ,one thing good is that if you don’t pay something in some store people don’t find anywhere neither in the directory, so you would be relax, je...
Take it easy ,so to avoid problems you could live in free union, as simple like that...

do people like their first names?hwk

In fact, had you ever asked yourself about your name? You don’t think about changing it, would you like to do it? Maybe if I had the opportunity I‘d change my name Arlene to umh? Janeth or Madison… I don’t know because also I think that my name is original, I had never heard the same name only Arleth o Marlen o Arlem. People always get confused about my name.
Like in the text, when you are a child and you are in the school, if you have a funny name, kids always would be doing jokes about it, but with the pass of the time things change when you get to the youth, you could change of heart about it, and it feels better, sometimes our name have a meaning that usually we don’t know, many times people think that you are or have a personality according with your name, mostly if your name is popular.
In many cases Mexican families choose a strange or funny name for their children, mostly these situations occur in small towns where people give the names of their parent to their children like Tiburcio or Candelaria something like that...
Nowadays it’s a fashion among mothers to name their kids with famous people names, only to its sounds fashionable, So if you have a baby don’t call he/she like Catherine or Justin ‘cause is the same that “Catalina” or “Justo” , “Justino”.(jeje)So please give to your child two names,in this hand if one of this aren't nice the other could be usual.

some things about naming traditions

Hi!again ....

Every country in every continent has different traditions; some of them are very weird to us because they are very different in culture.
One of these diferents traditions is the way how people are named.
Some countries just like Mexico have the tradition to name their kids with the parent’s last names also people give two names to their sons just like “Juan Jose”.
In some Asian countries people’s name are reversed for example my name be “Fajardo Arlene” starting with the last name. So you should be careful when you visit other country and avoid make a mistake, ‘cause maybe people could feel offended if you call them in an incorrect way.
Above all ask how they would like that you call them, avoid get embarrassed. So first look the customs that in other countries have, don’t get confused…

A man walks into a store to buy a Barbie doll for his daughter. “How much is that Barbie in the window?”, he asks the shop assistant.
In a manner she responds, “Which Barbie? We have Barbie Goes to the Gym for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Ball for $19.95, Barbie Goes Shopping for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Beach for $19.95, Barbie Goes Nightclubbing for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $395.00.”
