Sick Burn!

Hey, guys! 

So, today I went to the pool with my school.

And yeah, it was all fun and games until I got home. Let me tell you why.

At the school, me and my friend started to pass some solar filter on each other because we couldn't do it at the poolside. I put a lot of spray and cream at almost every part of my body and still I had to tell her "I still think it is not enough".

At the pool, the sun was not mercyful. The cool water was a pretty even match with the heat.

Keeping in mind we were at the pool from 10 am to 1 pm. That's the period when the sun reaches it's peak, right?

Well, long story short, I got a few sunburns on my shoulders. And I HATE when it happens.

I remember this one time, in 2011, when I went to the pool with my school in Brazil. We got there at 8 am and left at around 6 pm. NO ONE used ANY KIND of solar filter. I can't even tell the damage on my body, all the pain and redish skin. A little bit more and I'm sure I would have gotten skin cancer, like my dad told me when he was mocking me while I was rubbing my popsicle on my shoulders.

Well, I don't want to continue. I'm a little stressed out, despite all the fun I have today.

Remember, in the summer, you should always put solar filter. You receive solar radiation even standing in the shadows of trees.

Gamer Tag!

"Talk to me!"

Hey, guys!

So, at my last philosophy class, my principal was the teacher. He told us that he had been going to Kyoto at an university that a lot of people at my school is going after the graduation. He said that the people there were having difficulties in expressing themselves, orally and at paper, so we were going to start improving these areas.

At first, we were supposed to talk about ourselves. It seems like a simple subject because no one knows more about you than yourself, right? But at first it is pretty hard to feel satisfied with your speech, you always sit and than thinks "Oh, I should have said that, and this and this...". 

I thought this was great, because I always dreamed of being an actor or a comedian, and these areas require a very good speech hability. And also, I have this little trauma that I was never able to talk freely to my father. I just can't explain it...words didn't come out. I know he got a little frustrated everytime that happened and I am aware today of all the opportunities I lost of telling him all sorts of things, simple stuff like how I loved him or how my day was.

I was the first to speak in front of the class and I think I done a pretty good job, despite minor flaws and my sleepy mind. Then it was the rest of the class's turn and I was really surprised because some of my classmates are pretty shy and I thought they were going to pick up some simple subjects like their tastes, their hobbies and one or two curiosities. But instead, they spoke about their deepest stories and they got emotional and cried. I was really surprised of knowing something about them that I would never have imagined. I just wanted to hug them and I only didn't cry because I was able to hold it.

Then I started to think about how interesting everyone might be if we just pay attention on some details of their lifes that would explain so much about them. 

As I always say, communication is the base of relationships. It is really important for the understanding of situations and, as seemed, fortification of relations.

I wish my writing was as good as my speech, I understand this article wasn't very good, but I will work on it.

See ya!
