An adventure! S ometimes, plans never result as expected. My teammates agree to record the storytelling in Lago de Coatepeque but not me. Because of it I knew that voice recording could be impossible with all the restaurants and the water waves’ noise. In the place, my mates realized it and decided to ask what’s the most tranquil part of the lake. A man made us an offer, we could take us for 20 dollars to the part of private ranchos of the lake for an 1 hour. We accepted the offer. We arrived at the place, and we found the owners of the place enjoying the weekend. We were afraid that they could say something, but they didn’t just let us record, they also borrowed us an atarraya for utility. Mr. Mario help us not only with the correct usage of the atarraya and how to wear a matata , but also waited for us an extra hour. He find out we were not lying with the recording story, and he gift us an extra hour. We had so much fun recording, it was a pleasant activity.

  First, I have to admit, this was the most complicated activity of the semester, because we had to agree on every act of the story. Each of us has a different taste in literature. So, we have 5 people with a different taste in Sci-fi, westerns, novels, romanticism, and fantasy; arguing what to do.  Each proposed one, put everything on a wheel and let the computer decide for us. We ended up writing a sci-fi story. Then we had to discuss the main characters, names, plot, villain, dialogues, and the end of the story. It was complete chaos at the beginning, but we made it. The plot was troublesome because it must be the hook of the story. We changed it three times. Finally, the recording, was challenging with dialogues because we need to record it as if they were talking face to face, no delay of audio, so we did a meet, record it, swap the mp4 file to mp3 and add it to the other parts. It was a really challenging experience.

During this week, dinning with my family, my uncle was impressed because I eat double of a normal meal and I’m not too fat. I explained him three facts: I love food, I do workout, and the most important, I try to eat properly. People think that skipping meals and avoiding carbohydrates in our daily meal is the best way, yet according to the pyramid food 80% of our meals must be composed of carbohydrates. The Healthy Eating Pyramid   Vegetables, salad, and fruit - Eat plenty of these, up to seven servings a day. Starchy foods - Have wholemeal cereals and breads, potatoes, pasta, or rice with each meal. Wholegrain is best. Dairy - Have some milk, yogurt, and cheese. Choose reduced-fat or low-fat. Meat and alternatives - Have some meat, poultry, fish, eggs, beans, and nuts. Choose lean options and have fish at least twice a week – one being oily.
