Urban legend


Well there's a story that my father told me that talks about man who was walking back home at 2:00 a.m but there weren't any lights on the street, and for him to get to his house he had to go through a kind of forest, while he was walking he saw that he was going to a cliff, although he knew that was the way home and that there wasn't any cliff, he was scared but he decided to keep walking and when he stepped on the cliff has disappeared....
People say that witches are the ones who do that and they do it to men who go home very late.

My first time ridding a bike


Well first time I rode a bike was a complete disaster; because I fell every time I was on it although it had 2 extra wheels. And I lasted like a week to learn and once I knew hot to do it, I took off the 2 extra wheels but fell down like 200 times and I finally did it I decided to go down in a small hill, so I did it but I fell down and cried for 5 minutes and then I tried again, and I fell...again...(ha ha), and I cried for other 5 minutes and go again, and did that like for 30 minutes, but the problem was that every time I fell I hurt the same place* (knee) and at the end I could see my flesh And there was a lot of blood, and because of that now i have a scar on my knee.

Lie to me



Well I''m going to talk 'bout "Lie to me" that is a TV show where there's a man, who is a detective, and he can read your face or expressions, they call it "micro-expressions", so they if you're lying or if you're telling the truth.
I chose this one 'cause it's my favourite TV show, and it is very interesting and very useful.
There's an episode in which a criminal set a bomb in church and he knew where the bomb was just by asking 4 questions.
The team is called: "the Lightman Group" and its members are: Dr. Cal Lightman, Dr. Gillian Foster, Eli Loker, Ria Torres.
Here's a link where there's more info 'bout it.:
