Here are some pictures. In my page are more of them. Enjoy!!
Hi friends! It’s been quite a lot since my last posting, but finally I have found something not-boring to share with you. Some of you may know I’ve recently get married with my boyfriend Cristian. Let me tell you that it was about time to do so: we’ve been together for more than 9 years now!!
Anyway, the chosen day was the 21st. of September, which is the beginning of the Spring season in the South Pole. We wanted to get married in a special day, and we’ve always regarded springtime as the most beautiful part of the year, full of new life, birds, flowers, new green everywhere.
Luckily, it was a great day, but a little bit chilly. I`m posting some pictures as well, just to give you a visual idea of what was everything like. The civil ceremony was nice, and all my friends and relatives managed to attend to it. Since both my parents and my husband’s parents were chosen to be witnesses of the marriage, everyone showed deep emotion, and in certain parts of the ceremony (particularly that one in which we gave to each other the rings), some of them burst into tears (good ones, of course!!). Later, when we stepped out the office, everyone threw us rice as a desire of luck and prosperity for our union. Isn’t it a curious tradition?? Would it be the same in other countries?
After the "husband and wife" declaration, we made a tour to some beautiful places in Rosario, like the Flag Memorial, the Independence Park and other, all just to take the traditional wedding-day pictures.
Then came the real party, which was held in an assembly room named "Los Rieles", placed in front of the Independence Park. Again, all those people who we love were there, looking happy and finely dressed up. We made our appearance from behind some velvet red curtains when the Beatle`s "All you need is love" song gave its first chores of "love, love, love".
We tasted some delicious meals and enjoyed ourselves with some excellent bred Argentinean wines (Sirah and Tempranillo were the red wines, and Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay the white ones).
Since neither Cristian, my husband, nor I are very traditional people, we replace the vals dance with a rock `n roll of The Beatles!!! Everyone was delighted, and even Cristian's 86-years-old grandmother couldn’t stop dancing until the party was over.
All in all, it was a perfect night that we’ll remember forever!! After the party was over, we’ve had to hurry because that very same night we had a plane to Brazil to catch. But friends, that’s should be another chapter of this story!!! Hugs to all!!
Hi friends! This time, I'm not going to write a lot, but instead of that, I invite you to watch my first film "Vito the vampire"! To watch it, follow the next link: http://www.dfilm.com/mm2s/mm_route.php?id=3210331
Hope you like it and send me yours!! Hugs, Paula
Hello, world!!! What a mess! This is the first time I open a blog, so I hope you’ll understand (and forgive) my lack of experience in this point.
I’m a student of English who lives in Rosario, Argentina, and, as the rest of my classmates, I’m taking part in a project carried out by our teacher Rita and her colleagues from different parts of the world.
This project is meant not only for us to make contact with other students of English in order to practice the language, but it’s also for making new friends with whom we’ll share much more things beyond the English course’s aims.
This is a little about me: I’m Paula, I’m 27 and I work in the local government as a lawyer. One of the things I enjoy the most is learning foreign languages.
Besides English (and, of course, my native tongue: Spanish), I have studied Italian, German, Català (this is the 2nd. official language in Catalunya, one autonomous state of Spain), and a little bit of French. One of my biggest dreams is traveling around the world and being able to communicate with the locals in their own languages. So far, unfortunately, I’ve never been abroad, but I never give up hope.
I profoundly love cats, as you can see in my picture, in which I´m hugging my female cat Zoe. She’s only a year and a half old, and she’s “Acme” breed, which means she is from none that could be positively identified. She’s a very naughty cat, and I’m afraid that I’ve a little responsibility about it. Just because I work too much, I never stay home long enough to keep her happy and playing. So, as she bores a lot, she amuses herself scratching my furniture.
Well, though this has been my first time, I believe it’s gone pretty much fine. I really hope this short presentation of myself could interest somebody just enough to encourage him or her for writing some words to me. This could be the beginning of some great friendships!!
