Cupuri and I. Identical twins but not the same person




Cupuri and I are identical twins, the concept of identical twins refers to one single fertilized egg that split on two identical embryos ,so the word identical does not refers to the appearance of the twins, it refers to the embryos. One rule of my father is to not compare or contras each other because we are different person, but right now, let us break my father’s rules ,and lets make an exception and  contrast each other mentioning some differences between us as; physical appearance, psychological characteristics, and also social environment.

Something funny about being a twin is that people always ask us the same type of question; also they ask us to stand close to contrast us. They do not notice or differences because
At first sight we seem to be identical.We have certain facial features, that change us a lot as: my nose is shorter, her lips are thinner, my eyes are bigger, her lashes are longer, my teeth are more crooked and bigger, I have square jaw, and she has face. Other differences are in the shape of our body: her waist is smaller, her bottom is bigger and my breasts are bigger. The last physical appearance to contrast is the hair; she changes regularly the color of her hair, she always does her hair and I always use hair down. We could find more differences but these are the most significant, but here do not finish the contrast between my sister and I.

“Who is the evil twin? And who is the good twin?” these question is other typical question that people ask us, this is hard to answer because to stereotype a person in an evil person or in a good person is difficult. Also if a twin person is evil this does not mean that the other twin has to be strictly good because; there are psychological characteristics that made twins different for example: Cupuri has a tough personality, she is explosive, when you really met her, she is a protective and loyal person besides this she is a responsible committed person and responsible. On the other hand; I have a soft personality, I am patient, it is easy to me to trust in people but I never let down my loved ones, but I am really lazy and absent minded.  So I could said that she is not evil nor good neither do I.

Other typical question is “ do you switch boyfriends? Or have your ever pretend to be your sister?” –“Really”- I sometimes think that people do this questions just to be nice or funny, but come on years and years of hearing this it is not funny anymore –“hehehe”- . if I had to give a quickly answer to this would be “no” , this have an explanation. Cupuri and I have different social environment in which we develop ourselves, for example; we are in the same classroom at the university, and we do not really talk to each other at the university. This because we have different likes for example the people whom we like to be surrounded or the things in which we are interested. Basically or social environment changes even being in the same place, because of  our likes and interests, so it would be different to pretend being my sister or change my boyfriend with my sister.

Until here, we have mentioned some questions that help to contrast our physical appearance, our psychological characteristics and also our social environment. We seem to be too different, in fact; we are but this does not mean that we do not get along, on the contrary; those differences complement us, and make us best friends.
With this we arrive to the last typical question” do you like to be a twin?”  I usually say yes I like it, but the true is that I don’t like to be a twin, actually I love to be a twin, she is a full-time friend and I really glad to have her as a sister. “The best thing about having a sister was that I always had a friend”.  ~Cali Rae Turner

To Adopt a homeless dogs is the best option to get a dog.

There are three millions of homeless dogs in Mexico City and the number is increasing quickly. This is a shame because they have been our loyal furry friends for around 12000 years.. If you are thinking about having a dog why instead of buying a dog you adopt a dog? There are lots of clichés about homeless dogs that would be denial.
Many people think that all homeless dogs are ugly and mutt. This happens because people do not give themselves the opportunity to meet the dogs of the kennels or dog shelters; they just follow the stereotype of homeless dogs. But actually this is a misunderstanding because thousands of dogs are abandoned by their owners every year and the vast majority of these dogs are dogs in good conditions and also cute.
Despite the fact that Homeless dogs of kennels or doghouses are mostly dogs abandoned; many people think that those dogs have serious sickness that can be spread to the adopter family. What they ignored is the fact that as we say before these dogs are abandoned so they are family dogs; also they ignored the fact that it would be a problem to have many sick dogs in kennel or dog shelters; all the dogs in these places are vaccinated, so you will get a healthy dog and also save money.
Also there are other people that argue that it is better to buy a puppy in a puppy mills because you can choose a specific puppy; this can be denial just saying that the characteristics that we have to take account are not just in physical appearance also in our own necessities, and homeless dogs have a wide range of abilities that people ignored. In the other hand if you adopted a dog instead of buying one you won’t be supporting puppy mills. Most of displaces have in impoverished conditions they just focus on physical appearance.

In fewer words to adopt a dog have a lot of advantages as you will save a life, you will get a healthy dog, you will save money, you would choose a dog base on your necessities not on their physical appearance, and you won’t be supporting puppy mills. But these are just a few of  the real amount of  advantages that there are but always keep in mind that A dog is the only thing on earth that will love you more than you love yourself" - Josh Billings
