Today, I’m sick. I have tonsillitis. I have to rest all day, and I remember when I was a child and I was sick.

When I was a child, being sick was the excuse to stay at home all day, watching cartoons and not going to school. It was like a holiday’s day, but just with some pain somewhere. I don’t have to worry about homework or what it was made on school the days I wasn’t there. It was a time just for relax with pain.

But now, it’s really different. Now I’m sick and I have to miss some days of class, and I’m really worry about the school, if I’m missing something important difficult to make up for. And now I can’t spend the day watching TV or do something fun, because I don’t feel in a good mood for doing that, I just want to rest in my bed, taking the pills to make the pain go away. But I have to write this, because is my homework, and I should already done this, but I wasn’t at home these days, so I have to do it now. It’s a lucky I feel a little bit well and I can do this.

So that’s my conclusion of being sick: Now, it isn’t as cool as it used to be. And another conclusion is that carnival is not good for my health, and I wore two sweaters and a scarf, I can’t understand it.

Now, the only thing I can do is close the computer and rest, and hope that I feel better tomorrow and I can go to school and don’t miss more class.

I’m happy I have a thing that is easy to heal with just pills and a few days of rest.

Lovebook

Hey everybody

I want to talk about the last book that I read. It is called “Lovebook” from Simona Sparaco. It has a subtitle: Love in Facebook’s times. The title is a mixed between love and facebook, and this explain what the book is about. It was original written in Italian on 2009. But I have it, obviously, in Spanish. On the odd number’s chapters, the narrator is Solidea. On the even number’s chapters, the narrator is Edoardo. They tell what is happening to them, separately.

There are two main characters: Solidea and Edoardo. There are 6 years of difference between them. Solidea, when was an 8 years-old girl, felt in love of Edoardo. But Edoardo have to left school, and they lost contact.

The story starts with Solidea with 23 years-old. She just broke up with her boyfriend, because he cheated on her. She works in a bookshop. She isn’t familiar with Internet and the social networks, but her sister and her cousin, the two of them little than Solidea, make her facebook. And talking about the people of the high school, Solidea remembers Edoardo.

Edoardo is now a 29 years-old executive. He lives alone on his apartment. He has a girlfriend, Claudia. They have been together for more than a year, and Claudia starts to thinking in marriage and kids, a thing that Edoardo is not ready, so they have a lot of arguments. He has facebook, but he barely us it. But a childhood friend, Andrea, make him use more facebook, and he make Edoardo remember Solidea, the charming girl who always talked with him.

And then, they add as friends. It starts a romance history.

On my opinion, I liked a lot this book and I recommend it. It is a new point of view of love, a new way to meet again of two persons who had something on the past that now it could be something more. And this book explains a fake history, but I think this have happen to a lot of people, and it will happen a lot more. Life is full of causalities and social networks can make us changed our love life, don’t you think?
