MY IDEAL PERSON

My ideal person is 15 years old, he is a teenager boy who has a short, wavy and dark brown hair.

He usually shows a lovely smile with cute dimples on both of his cheeks.
Also he has a cute freckles under his eyes, a little more up their cheeks.

His skin is brunette,he is strong but no a lot, and he has a coconut earrings in his two ears.
He is a really nice person, is funny and very friendly because he always has a smile in his face.
But the thing that I like more of him is that he is faithful and honest.

CARNIVAL
In this entry i'm going to talk about Carnival:
The Carnival it's a festival where people dress, it's very fun because the costumes are very diferents and someones are very funny. The Carnival is asociated with the catholic countries, is the pagan party more people celebrate and enjoy in the world, dress up and paint the face it back to antiquity.
As we know today, the carnival is very likely to be a continuation of the ancient Saturnalia, the roman festivals were held in honor of the god Saturn.
I enjoy it a lot my carnival day, it was at the school, my costume was of "choni", it was with a basic black shirt, a leopard-print maya, a denim shorts, headscarf with leoperd print, plastic jacket and sneakers.
IT WAS VERY FUN.
