When I was 13, I had my first love
There was nobody that compared to my baby
And nobody came between us who could ever come above
She had me going crazy, oh I was starstruck
She woke me up daily, don't need no Starbucks
She made my heart pound
I skip a beat when I see her in the street
And at school on the playground
But I really wanna see her on a weekend
She know she got me dazin' 'cause she was so amazin'
And now my heart is breakin' but I just keep on sayin'

CHORUS

I'm all gone
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now I'm all gone

Happy St Patrick's Day!!!

- Aprendemos un poco sobre San Patricio (texto en inglés y castellano).

Saint Patrick's Day is a cultural and religious holiday celebrated on 17 March. It commemorates Saint Patrick (c. AD 387–461), the most commonly recognised of the patron saints of Ireland, and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. Saint Patrick's Day was made an official feast day in the early seventeenth century, and has gradually become a celebration of Irish culture in general.
    The day is generally characterised by the attendance of church services wearing of green attire and the lifting of Lenten restrictions on eating, and drinking alcohol which is often proscribed during the rest of the season.
    Today, St. Patrick's Day is probably the most widely celebrated saint's day in the world.
    In Argentina, and especially in Buenos Aires, long parties are celebrated in designated streets, since the weather is comfortably warm in March. People dance and drink only beer throughout the night, many people wear something green. In Buenos Aires, the party is held in the downtown street of Reconquista, where there are several Irish pubs.


    El día de San Patricio es un feriado religioso y cultural que se celebra el 17 de marzo. Conmemora al Santo Patricio, el más reconocido de los santos patronos de Irlanda, y el arribo del Cristianismo a Irlanda. A principios del siglo 17 esta fecha se transformó en un día festivo oficial, y gradualmente se ha transformado en una celebración de la cultura irlandesa en general.
    Este día se caracteriza por la concurrencia de la gente a las iglesias usando atuendos verdes.
    En Argentina, y especialmente Buenos Aires, se celebran fiestas en determinadas calles, ya que el clima es agradable en marzo. La gente toma cerveza toda la noche, y mucha gente usa algo verde. En Buenos Aires, la fiesta se celebra en la calle Reconquista, donde hay muchos pubs irlandeses.

FGP Centro de Enseñanza de Inglés les desea a todas las mujeres: Happy Women's Day!!

   Happy Women´s Day! The first International Women’s Day occurred on March 19 in 1911. The March 19 date was chosen because it commemorated the day that the Prussian king promised to introduce votes for women in 1848. The promise gave hope for equality but it was a promise that he failed to keep. Then, in 1913, The International Women’s Day date was moved to March 8. Since then, it has been held on March 8 to celebrate women’s achievements throughout history and across nations. It is also known as the United Nations (UN) Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace.

   Feliz Día de la Mujer! El primer Día de la Mujer fue celebrado el 19 de marzo de 1911. Esta fecha fue elegida porque conmemoraba el día que el rey de Prusia prometió incorporar el voto femenino en 1848. Esta promesa daba esperanza de igualdad entre el hombre y la mujer, pero el rey rompió esta promesa. En 1913 se empezó a celebrar el Día de la Mujer el 8 de marzo. En este día se celebra los logros que las mujeres han alcanzado a través del tiempo en todo el mundo. Esta fecha también se la conoce como el Día de las Naciones Unidas para los Derechos de las Mujeres y la Paz Mundial.
