Kerry Gold saved Fiona from a raging cow

Today I'm going to tell you the incredible story of a woman who was in her farm and a cow attacked to her and fortunately she was saved by her horse.
Actually, I would have to write about a new related to my career, but I couldn't find one so, when I was searching, I find a better new to write to.


Fiona was in a beautiful day of summer in her Castle Douglas farmhouse making tea for her two years old niece Zara, when her husband called her to move a cow ad its calf out of the paddock. So Fiona left Zara watching a DVD while she went to the paddock.

The woman had to separate the calf from the cow, action that she use to do in the farm, but this time the calf started to bellow and the cow, that was in panic, butted the shoulder of Fiona. She remember she had been taught that once someone is on the ground dairy cows have been known to group together and attack en masse – to kill. She knew she had to be on her feet. But the cow kept pushing her back into the ground with her head.

Fiona was screaming in the ground, but nobody listened her and realised that scape was impossible, so she tucked her head under her arms to protect her neck, waiting another attack from the cow, but unexpectedly the cow moved away. 

The woman was stunned to see her horse, "Kerry Gold", that had galloped and kicked the cow with her back hooves. The cow left and Kerry stood protectively beside Fiona, who was crying and her back was painful. Then she called to her husband and came to help her. 

Fortunately Zara, the niece of Fiona, was absorbed watching the DVD, so she kept in safe.
The family rewarded Kerry Gold with extra apples and carrots, and she continued protecting Fiona.
It has been eight years since the incident... Kerry Gold died two years ago.

I think is a bautiful story and I would like to hear more like this in my future job as anthropologist. If you like to read the whole new here is the link:

Titanic

I can remember that the first time I went to the cinema with my family, we watch "Tarzan", a classic and unforgettable film.
Then, when I grew up a little more, I saw a film that for me is one of the great drama movies ever.
The film is Titanic, directed by James Cameron, and I can watch it again and again without feeling bored.
Actually I can't remember exactly how old I was when I saw it for the first time, maybe six years old, but I know I was in my grandmother's house seeing "The best seller" on "TVN".

The movie shows a beatiful love story between Jack and Rose, played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, respectively. They fall in love in the Titanic, a big ship, but sadly it crush with an iceberg and everything finish in a tragedy with many dead people.

I like this movie, because love stories are one of my favorite types of movies and also because the film transform the Titanic's tragedy in a way to show how was the culture of the epoc, when families arranged marriages and the behavior of the people were part of an act of appearance in front of everyone, in fact, Rose and women in general couldn't behave as she wanted, in a natural way. I think that Jack and Rose show the power of love, because they could be themselves without think in society.

I also think that in the final part of the movie, the couple had enough space on the wood door to keep both alive, but of course, is a film and in spite of that for me this movie continue being good. What do you think obout that?

I love summer

Hey, today I will write a free post that I had to write some weeks ago, but I didn't.
So, I'm going to talk about my favorite season of the year, summer.
Why I love summer?
Because I can feel the warm weather and because of that I can dress up myself with thin and beatiful clothes like dresses, skirt and shorts.
Actually, this period of the year always remember me holidays, time when I can do whatever I want.
Is in summer when happen my favorite celebrations, Christmas and New Year! The best moments to laugh a lot with family, friends and all people that I love.
Also, I like a lot the sea and, of course I love wearing bikini and swimming at the beach. In fact, I stay all day into the water till the sunset.
I think that the only bad thing I can say about summer is that sun is so dangerous, so always I have to worry about wear sunscreen.

Another reason to love summer is that in this period of the year, as a family we take advantage of travelling. Last year we went to San Pedro de Atacama and it was very adventurous.
This summer we will make a bigger travel going to Disney World in United States. Of course, I am very anxious, because my dream since I was a child will be fulfilled.
It will be a great oportunity to have more memories as a family, and also I'll can practise my english.
