Men and Women

Sometimes when I talk to a woman I notice that she has a completely different way to think about several topics, like about hobbies and feelings. I'm sure that men and women are so different, but it doesn't means that one gender is better than the other; for example, obviously an average man is faster and stronger than an average woman, but generally men get tired earlier than women everyday, and generally women are busier and workers than men; also, women have longest life expectancy: they endure much more.

In the other hand, I think we have different kinds of intelligence, and I'm sure that women intelligence is useful than ours, because they can do several things at time, their memory is better, they can understand as people feels, and they see much situations and problems while we overlook they. Anyway, generally women has troubles to take decisions, especially the fast ones; and normally are complicated by trivial things for men, who doesn't care for it and have a more carefree living. Also, men forget the problems faster so they can forgive easier, so it's more difficult to see great rivalries between men.

I think men and women are avaibilited to any work and task, but they do some things better than others. I'm a man and I really like to being with women, I don't know what we do without they, and decidedly I believe in the difference but same importance between men and women.

May 21st Chilean Holiday

Only Chile celebeates this date because remembers the Iquique's naval battle, in the Pacific's War between Chile and Perú; when the frigate commander, Arturo Pratt Chacón dies in action together his men defending the nation.

Teaches that it's important because it's an example of courage, leadership and patriotism, because captain Pratt was firts in go to close combat when the warship battle was lost. In the engagement two ship each nation participated, the chilean Esmeralda (Commanded by Pratt) and Covadonga (Commanded by Carlos Condell) and the peruvian Huáscar (Commanded by Miguel Grau) and Independencia (Commanded by Juan More).
The chileans warships was worser equipped, in fact, they was obsolete to that date; so in the frey among Esmeralda and Huáscar, the peruvian ship easily won in long combat, that's why Pratt decided to board the enemy ship. Instead Covadonga drives to Independecia to Punta Gruesa, where sea was shallow and Independencia hit bottom and stay out of combat, and Covadonga was victorious.

Anyway, its strange to celebrate a defeat and forget the victory, because nobody in Chile minds Covadonga and captain Condell, but it's just one of many incoherently things that happens in Chile.

Earthquake's Night

That night in February, I was with my brother in a friend's birthday party, on the eighth floor of a departament far away from my house. It was a great night dancing and joy, I thougth we would spent the night there and we would go home in the morning, but that had been terrific in an earthquake. Instead, surprisingly my uncle arrived at the party to visit his friend, the homeowner. My brother and me don't know about his came, not even his friendship, so it was really strange. Whatever, in time we'll stay, we go home at three o'clock in my uncle's car, who lives near my house.

Already in home, just one story; I went to bed and feel a curious sound, like a whisper without end, then a growing noise and then the shake. I stand up, completly necked, take my sheet and go to the door. My little brother was terrified, but there we're safe. The house left standing like as almost in Santiago and we have our firts earthquake experience in life.
