There is Gum in My Rice.

Day 30!. Slice of Life Challenge.

I filled up my fork with meat and rice to feed up my hungry stomach. What happened to me today, that I could write my slice of life of? I thought while I enjoyed the food in my mouth. I felt the meat was salty... the rice was soft and kind of sweet... sweater than usual... maybe too sweet... It tasted like tropical trident gum... but what was I thinking? Gum in my rice? naah!

I was going to take a little of rice, but a certain spot -- pinkier than the other parts-- got my attention. I touched it: it was gummy like. I took it and smelled it; it smelled like tropical trident gum. Suddenly everything fitted in...

"There is gum in my rice!!" I complained,

"Mmmm... I didn't chewed gum today," Gladys--my nanny-- responded,

"Aghh! could you give me more rice, please! This time without gum!"

As I waited for my rice without gum, I figured that this could be a perfect story for my slice of life number thirty-- my very last one.

Bathroom.

Day 29. Slice of Life Challenge.

"Isa, come with me to the bathroom, please," Danelia ordered as she grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the bathroom. As soon as we stepped on the bathroom's floor, we stopped breathing. " Aaghh!" we exclaimed at the same time. Why do people are so grose? I complained in my mind.
"EW! This smells horrible, i can't be here like this," Danelia declared as she turned to the door.
"I know!" I replied disgusted, leaving the bathroom, not even with my hands washed or my hair fixed...

Jellyfish.

Day 28. Slice of Life Challenge. Day in a Sentence.


I looked at the jellyfish getting dry on the sand; how can I help it; I took a long twig and pushed it to the ocean: it felt very good to save a life.

Alone.

Day 27. Slice of Life Challenge. Couplet.
I looked around the house, but there was not even a mouse. " Where's everyone?" I wondered, leaving my head disordered.

Quote.

Day 26.

"Life on the planet is born of women"

- Adrienne Rich (poet,esayist and femenist)

What it means: It means that women gave the life to the planet because women are the ones that give birth to babies. Without women there would be no life.

Why I chose it: I chose this quote because I was reading quotes and when I read this one I stopped and thought about it... and made me feel that women were MORE important than how they normally were.

Scared

Day 25. Slice of Life Challenge.


I stared though I was scared; that time spent, made me want that term to end.

Just in Time.

Day 24. Slice of Life Challenge.


I walked passing the buses, I saw the tabs:1,2,3,4... I could see my bus --the white one with black windows-- in the last place. PIIII! someone blew the whistle by my ear. OW!, I said in my mind as I made a frown.

I saw the drivers were getting into the buses. Oops... I started running; the buses got behind me much, much faster now... Finally I got into my bus; it started to move. "Uff, just in time," I mumbled breathing hard.

Growls.

Day 23. Slice of Life Challenge.

I entered to my house through the front door; I felt my stomach growl. Ugh! I'm so hungry, I shouldn't have eaten that brownie... I said to myself.

I went upstairs stair by stair, feeling the great weight of my bag going to my legs. When I finally got to my room, I dropped my bag, washed my hands, and went down --again--to eat something.

Without Light

Day 22. Slice Of Life Challenge.

I entered to the middle school building expecting the bright lights and the cool air, but it wasn't like that... There was no light!

I kind of saw Liz's shadow sitting by the wall.

"There's no light!" She exclaimed

"I think I already noticed..." I replied sacasticly.

With no light there is no clock, air conditioner, computers... Oh God, this is going to be a long day.

Memoir Mondays: New Years :)

I looked around and I saw every one very happy talking to each other I looked at the 12 grapes for every one and I wondered how would it feel at 12 o clock without Olguita (my father side grandma) and Grandpa... Suddenly all the past years played quickly in my mind... All those crazy things that they made us do; wear yellow underwear(good luck for the year), eat 12 grapes at 12 o clock and make a wish for the 12 of them, count as many money as you can, and the last one, the most embarasing and the one that made me missed them more: Run around with bags (to travel a lot). I wasnt going to spend THIS new years with them but... who knows? maybe the next one and the next one. The important thing was that I had enjoyed the previous ones and that I had Olguita and Grandpa in my mind all the time as if they were there.

Slice Of Life.

I sat down on my desk chair. "This is going to be long.." i thought. I took the first photo album my very first one, i started to look for a picture that was good for my spanish project I passed pages and pages and I saw only me me me, until i found one when i was new born with a gigantic bunny besides me, i couldnt belive that i was this little. First album: check, six to go... As i wached carefully to all the picture my life started to play in my mind all the good times and bad times some i rembered well some not very well, i saw pictures that i havent seen in my 12 year old life! i was amazed i couldnt wait to do the presentation and show every body my pictures!

Memoir Monday: My Grandparents.

I used to spend a lot of time with my grandparents until I moved out. I used to sleep over at their house and I did always the same routine: I saw how grandma washed the dishes, we ate the sweet bread that they always had in the kitchen, and then we went to their room get in bed all together and watch TV until we were sleepy, at the morning we would eat breakfast and then I would take a bath in this very big plastic “bowl” and finally we would go to the park and play together. I felt very weird not having them around all the time anymore but I realized that they would be always with me in my memories and mind.
