The bridges at Toko-Ri

M623b 1982 c.1

The main character is Brubaker, the real story starts when he appears in the war of Korea. He was a pilot, he was flying his plane but it had low fuel. He needed to arrive at aircraft carrier of U.S navy; however, he couldn’t and he fell down in the sea. In that moment Brubaker was rescued by a helicopter, he made two friends Mike Forney and Nestor Gamidge. They made a strong friendly, they were always together. Once they were in land, Forney got in trouble in the city and Brubaker who was a lieutenant used his power to get Forney out of jail. Brubaker always will be grateful because Forney and Nestor saved his life in the sea.

In the story is important too, the love relationships. One of them was the relation between Forney and a Japanese woman. Forney used to have a girlfriend but he didn’t know that she fell in love of a marine. When he arrived at the city he wanted kiss his girl but she stopped him. She said, “We have to talk”. Then, she told him that she had a new boyfriend. Forney didn’t give up but this girl really was in love of the other boy. In contrast, Brubaker had a beautiful family. Her wife travelled with her girls from USA to Japan because she needed be close her husband. They were a perfect happy family. Nevertheless, they were having problems lately because they were very worried about the war. Brubaker had to do a difficult flying, a suicidal mission.

The mission of attack the bridges at Toko-Ri was terrible dangerous. Brubaker knew that he could die, and his wife was scared because she could lose her husband. The fear of the death was the suspense of this story. I won’t say what happened with Brubaker, but when I finished reading the book I didn’t feel sad because these kinds of things always happen in the wars. The end of this best-seller is not happy but it shows an important message. The moral is that wars don’t solve anything. These only provoke deaths and pain.

Take care!!!!! I´m a wild cat

First and foremost, I dislike be compare with a cat because when I was a child I used to watch “Alf”. Anyway, I appreciate to cats because they are mysterious animals. Maybe, the movie called “Cats & Dogs” is not fiction and that tells us the true of these particulars pets. Really, I´m joking I am not so crazy for thinking that; however, Egyptians considered cats like a sacred animals. They were part of the family.

Frankly, I´m trying to think about my results from “visual DNA” test but I´m not sure if I agree with them, I don´t know how I am exactly. The test said that I am a peaceful and insatiable boy. Sincerely, visual DNA said the true but there is something that disgusts me. In fact, I know what the problem is: I hate when people believe know all of me. That is a good reason because I hate psychologists. So, test you really don´t know me!

I only didn’t understand 3 expressions: fruity person, appetite for lurve and give sb a buzz. I know these expressions are about 1313 (erotic or sexual content) but I searched in internet and I really discovered dirty meanings. In my case, I’ll never use them because these expressions can be misinterpreted for others.

The web site is good for people that need kill the time. I don’t think is a good idea that a web site helps you with your personality problems; besides, if you don’t know how you are why a web site should know it. If you are boring and need to do something in your leisure time, you could take the test is not bad at all, it is a bit funny but you shouldn´t take the results like a true.

My holidays

On my holidays, I spent a lovely moment with my cousins. However, the most beautiful situation that I had was with my girlfriend. We went to Quinta Normal Park, we visited Panubis exhibition which was about Egyptian culture. We had thought that we could go to Viña, however; that was only a weird idea that appeared in the moment.

Nobody knew about the crazy idea of going to Viña only for a day, we waked up early and we were in Viña around 2 p.m. Really, that experience was amazing and romantic, we kissed in the hill when the lights went down and the moon lighted up the entire place. That was one of the most significant days of my life, she knows the reason.

Although I did not have any bored moment on my holidays, I would have liked to change the time because I felt I shared few things with my girlfriend. I wanted to do a lot of things with her, I would have liked to go to the south.

I always enjoy see her face of surprise when she knows different places. If a were millionaire I would travel around the world with Yaela, we could visit Cairo, Tibet, Moscow, Venice and a lot of beautiful places.
