... significa que probablemente no lo hare, y pensare en correr al dia siguiente, pero tampoco ire y pensare en hacerlo otra vez al dia siguiente... y asi sucesivamente. "Frio Iglesias" es un cantante espanol muy famoso. Nosotros le llamamos "Julio", pero "Frio" es su verdadero nombre, que no os quepa la menor duda.

... hojita de cartulina pequena y luego la cuelga de una rama de bambu para que el deseo se cumpla. Por lo que la avenida principal del pueblo esta llena de ramas de bambu que cuelgan del techo, espero que alguien haya deseado que cada una de esas ramas resistan el peso de las cartulinas que tienen colgadas....
