A Strange Story

     I believe that you can not get what you want to get. Also, we can not control people as we want them to do for us. Everyone has story in her/his life, but sometimes is unbelievable. Therefore, I had a story with a friend who I just knew through the internet. Maybe it’s funny but it happened. I’m going to write about a person who I really had an experience with her by internet. Hopefully, you’ll know what kind of that person because I’m still not making sure about her.

     Paloma who I’m writing about. She was born in Mexico where one of my favorite place to travel when I was a child. She is from a famous family in her country. She told me that and I heard from some friends of min. I met her in January 2007 by the internet by using some communication programs. First of all, I wanted to chat with people to improve my English skills, so it was normal to talk with her to get practice. We were talking about our normal lives as any small conversation. We were asking like “how long time I’m in the USA, what I’m doing there”. I wanted to see her picture, so she sent me some pictures of her. After many days, I asked her if she had a webcam. She answered me that her webcam was in her parents’ house. I felt comfortable with her because she started to say “Hi” to me many times. I did a strange method that I asked her if she has a cell phone No. I wanted to know more about her. She gave me her cell her phone number without frequency, and she wanted mine also.

Suddenly, one day, I had an event with my Arab students in place which is like bar. I got a call from unknown number. And it was her voice:
Paloma “Hey”
Nawwaf “ Hi “
Paloma “I’m Paloma. Did you remember me ?”
Nawwaf “Yes sure, How’re you ? good to hear you?”
Paloma “ Thanks, I actually would like to tell you that I’ll go back to my parent’s home, and I’ll bring the webcam next week to chat through it “
Nawwaf “ Thanks so much for your call,and I’m looking forward meeting you by webcam next week”
Paloma “ No problem, take care. Bye bye”
I was so happy when I heard her sound that she would bring the cam. She didn’t have to call me to tell me. I felt that I’m not for fun. I felt that I can have nice people who I’ve never met face to face by the internet. One month later we became very close. We became call each other many times. Sometimes I woke her up in the morning because we chatted too late. I didn’t want her to be absent because for me.

     In March 2007, I had a spring break, so I decided to go to Mexico with my friend because Mexico country was in my dreams such as many countries. I told her that I would come to Mexico with a friend of mine, and I would like to introduce her myself when I come there. She was so happy when she heard that. I saw her eyes were like a person who had never seen his/her dear friends for many years. Therefore, she supported me more to come there. She called me many times when I went to her consulate in the USA. I told her that I got a Visa and now I need her help about the hotels in her country. She gave me a list of the best hotels in her country. I chose the hotels which I liked. After that, she called them to make sure that my hotel reservation was fine. She surprised me because she worked hard for me. We talked about the plans if she can travel with us. She loved to go with us. Therefore, she told me many nice places that she likes to go.
I arrived to Mexico. Then, I called her. She didn’t meet me at the first time because she told me that her mother was sick. I believed her because she should be with her mother. Three days later, I met her at six flags amusement park in Mexico City. The meeting was only 30 minutes. Then, I didn’t see her. I tried to call her, but she tried to avoid me by saying some excuses. I didn’t understand her because I trusted her. Then, I came back to the USA, and I tried to know the reason. She said” I didn’t feel comfortable when I met you here in Mexico”. However, I didn’t believe that, so I sent her that she should not judge anyone at the first time. I found out that she got a boyfriend. Therefore, she didn’t want me to get him confused. I decided to leave her because I respected her situation even she didn’t have to do that with friend. I had bad days without Paloma. I saw her online and she didn’t say “ Hey” like before. I was really disappointed that I missed a great friend easily. I felt bad because I’m lonely here in the USA, and she made many funny times. She was listening to me what I said and wrote. I missed her look because she made many cheers through the cam. In addition, she was always smiling. So I felt that I can be funny especially we all lived far away from our families. I know everybody needs to cheery up with a person who can do it. I felt I’m the person who could be nice to make her enjoyable through chatting.

     One month later, and it was in April 2007. I was so sad because I heard news about my mother’s health, so I needed to go back as soon as possible. In April 21, 2007, I got a call. It was Paloma. She called me to make sure about my mother. My friend told her that about me. I thanked her for her calling. Fothmore , she wanted my country’s cell phone number because she would to call me there. I forgave her and I told her that her calling to ask me about my mother was the huge apologize and I wanted to return our friendship again. We had promised us that we’ll be real friends together. She surprised me that she would come to meet me in my birthday because she wanted to celebrate our birthdays together. Then, she became my wish to meet her in my birthday. We kept working together like before. Maybe more because we fixed our mistakes until I came back to the USA.

Finally, I went back to the USA. She sent me a voicemail that she would be online to see me. However, something happened between us. She made something that I did not expect it. She has been changed since I came back to the USA. She was not Paloma who I knew. She didn’t want to talk to me or even say anything. I asked her what happened. She answered me “ Don’t worry I’m okay. Everything is fine. Don’t ask me a lot”. Many days later, I tried to figure out the problem. She was very awkward. Then, she said “ your behavior to me is different than other girls”, so that’s why she became changed. She didn’t want to talk or even see me again. She severed our friendship because she though “ I love her”. Can you imagine that reader?.
     I need to tell Paloma some words, and I want people to know the true ,and it’s coming from the bottom of my heart. “ Paloma, I admired you because of what you did for me. You returned our friendship by yourself. You called me many times, so I did the same thing because you were first. And now, our friendship boat is sunk by your behavior. I trusted you that you’re my real friend. I trusted you because you’d come to fix your mistake when you left me in your country. I knew everything that you didn’t have any exam two weeks ago. You should know what kind of person you’re. Also, you became my wish in my birthday. I want to tell you that you broke the promise. You broke my year’s law this year. You destroyed what I built. I built to continue our friendship forever. I can’t believe that there are many people like to tell lies. You didn’t care what the wish is. You didn’t care about what the wonderful things which you did for me. You were a seldom friend who I like to talk with. You should know that is not everyone who thanked you or wanted to do at least like you mean he needs something he supposed not let you think about it. I know that Paloma won’t come again because you decided to finish everything. I need to tell people that she was a great girl even she was lier. Maybe because she didn’t find anything to leave me except to say lies. I could say “ Paloma is gone , and no Paloma after what she did”.I didn’t pay attention when my friends suggested me to be careful from you. I’m paying everything now. You’re a selfish person because you think of yourself. In addition, you didn’t focus to think about what you’re for me. I’ll never forget you because I’ll remember that I had the worst year because my wish doesn’t care. You’ve a status in me, I hope you’ll have a wonderful life, and I hope you’ll be safe without thinking of these people who were thinking that they missed you. For me, I’ll remember nice days which we used to talk. I’ll let you feel comfortable, so I’m leaving you. I can’t convince people to be happy even they helped me. Good Bye forever, and have a peace life”

Well, this is my whole story with her. I’m sorry for writing a lot, but I didn’t feel that because I needed to explain many important sentences, and I need from the reader to know why Paloma won’t come to celebrate my birthday. I believe that it’s easy to have friends, but it’s impossible to keep going with them in your life because you find out many experiences from them which are you can’t see them at the first time. I hope everyone won’t be disappointed like me. Good luck

Sustainability

Sustainability is a conjunction that the human life with the natural environments to continue the indefinite future. There are some sources which are helping the sustainability. As you know, everyone need to live in house, but the house should have “rooms, kitchen, bathroom …”. And also, the home must be available to live, so you should bring some stuff that maybe they are not good for the environment such as “air condition, heater”. I’d like to talk about the home which supports the sustainability. We can make firm the concept in three points:
• Tiny Home
• Earthship
• Prefab

Tiny Home “A small home” that has few rooms and space. If you you’ve more rooms available, you’d use some equipment that’s used lightly. Maybe some equipment is not good for the environment. In addition, the tiny room lets you think about the necessary things that you must use daily or weekly. There are some pictures which I got through the internet. They’re talking about tiny homes we supposed to live. The tiny houses are useful and, sometimes they can be portable to move out to another place.

The second point is earthship. Earthship is made of tiers and earth. It was found in 1970s by Mike Reynolds. He has written five books. Look at this link “http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Reynolds_%28architect%29″ to get more information. Earthship is dealing with natural environment. You can use the natural resources. In addition, you can use the materials which had used, and they are not used. Therefore, earthship is used with reused materials wherever possible. For example, we won’t burn the tiers because we need it to build earthship. Earthship also use what we need such as electricity and condition without service. I hope to use it in my country.

This is earthship home. you can see the tiers on it.
There is another method for the sustainability. We call it prefab. It’s easy to ship and build. It can be high and low. Up to the consumer. The prefab home requires a few labors to do it. Prefab homes were used for along time. They used in world war 2 when the houses had been destroyed by bombs in United Kingdom. Prefab is becoming popular these days in Europe, USA, and Canada because of the construction.

There are many windows around this house.
I’m considered that most of people don’t know about this kind of house especially the people who live in countries where hard climate have. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE REASON? The ads, the governments, or ourselves. I hope we can figure our problems out to have the sustainability.

Unbelievable

Can you believe the magic? I think most people enjoy watching them. Many people spend much money to watch it. It’s kind of creativity. However, many people are afraid from them. They think that magician can bother them. In other word, they can make them sad in their lives. I believe that some magician games, which are in the circus, are enjoyment because it’s not exactly magic such as what people believe. I think it’s kind of game that around the world. These people have been training by their selves for many years. I got this video from YouTube website. I liked it a lot. I really want to do like him, but it’s hard for me. Maybe one day I could be able to enjoy you like him

Monterrey City ” The city which most of people don’t know more about it? “

Monterrey City is the capital of Nuevo Leon in Mexico. It’s the third city in Mexico. It’s known “The city of mountains”. Monterrey city has economy areas. Therefore, many huge companies are built. It’s a metropolitan city.
Honestly, I did not go there when I was in Mexico because it’s far away from Mexico City. Monterrey City is not just for business, it’s also for tourist who would like to have fun. Monterrey has a nice museum which is very important in the country. It had many stories while Spanish came to Mexico in the mid 1500s. You’ll be interested in this city. I’m going to show some pictures about this beautiful city.
You might get more information at this link “http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monterrey” . I recommend it for traveling. According to the GDP, it got the second secure city in Latin America. Hope I’ll travel there soon.


WOW it’s beautiful.Isn’t it ?

A friend of mine sent me this pic. Her name is Lizbeth. She wrote her short name at the bottom. She told me that it’s the best mountain in Monterrey City. Thanks Liz

Who is the responsible ?

Can you see the smoking?. It’s bad, isn’t it ? . You can see it in many countries especially in the developing countries. This is considered one of the most sophisticated problems in the whole world. The climate changed and became warm causes CO2 which is coming out from” Factories, cars ….”. The human being is the one who kills the nature. However, we need to discuss the problem and fix it as soon as possible. The human being destroys the earth where millions of human beings live in. We may not have this problem now, but future generations will see the horrible things that we made by our own industries and factories in most places in the world. Who do you think is responsible for killing millions of people who will come in the next few years?. Please add any information to help us to figure out a solution for the disaster.

Roberto Baggio is the king of the creativity in Italy. He was born on February 18 th , 1967. He was born in uncomon city, but it made an amazing man. Its name is Caldogno, Veneto.He played with many famous teams, and he had supported with them to get many champions . For exapmle, he played with “Fiorentina,Juventus,AC Milan, Inter Milan……”. The people who like Fiorentina were angry from their manager when he sold Baggio for Juventus. Therfore, they destroied somethings to tell him that he was wrong.Robetro Baggio got many prices. The importan one was the best player in the world in 1993. he had many chalenger in his days with many responsibles especially with coaches. Although, he provided to them that he was the best player whole Italy. He got more than 200 goals in his life football even though he was not an offence.He was in the center,so he didn’t have to score goals. This is his 200 goal Number. I was so happy when he scored it. He retired in 2004 After he got the international popular around the world .We missed him alot. I hope he’s going to be a coach for Italy team soon.

El Ángel de la Independencia Memorial

El Ángel de la Independencia Memorial. It’s one of the important symbols for Mexican people. It’s not just a symbol.It’s also talking about the heroes who fought for freedom in their country. It was built in 1910. it was built to conmemorate the centenary of the independence. I took this pic when I visited Mexico.I’m considered to know about it.The statue is very important because the war was finished and made the new law at that time.The memorial is made of bronze with gold. My friend from Mexico gave me some information about it.It’s in Mexico city which is the capital in Mexico. It’s very big and beautiful. I advice you to see it because you’ll be thinking about it. I got some information, which My Mexican friend sent me, by wikipedia website ” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_de_la_Independencia”. It’s really an intersting story. Why not? and the Mexican people are honored to have an independence country.
