Amsterdam

Well, at this entry I’m going to talk about a trip I did to Amsterdam with my boyfriend and some friends when I was in Ramsgate. I remember it so well because a lot of things happened to us.
We found the tickets on easyjet and they were kind of cheap (they were cheap but with the duty they became less cheap.) we were so excited about it that we forgot to search for a hotel and when we got there at night we couldn’t find one, in Amsterdam every weekend is like a holiday, all the hotels are full and there are a lot of tourists in the city. The first night we found one, thanks God but it was only for that night. The next day we went searching and found another one, but this one was really expensive, we had no choice so we took it. The problem here is that we thought the hotel was going to be cheaper, so with the meals and some other stuffs we bought we were without money like in 2 days. I try to reach my mom here in Mexico but I couldn’t find her and we were like this, without money for a hole day. The next day I talked to my mother and asked her to send me money. In spite of all the problems, we had an awesome time and I will always remember it, because for me it was a life time experience. I had the opportunity to travel alone with my friends, and even no having money was fun, fun, fun.

The city is lovely, people are great, polite and kind, you can walk very late at night and nothing will happen to you.
Pictures: in the first one, I’m in down town with my boyfriend out side of a store were they sell that kind of shoes they are like the slogan of Holland. Very popular there.
In the second one, I’m in a pub, where the waitresses dance on a table kind of “Coyote Ugly” and they make shows and everything. I was kind of uncomfortable because there were only 4 girls and me in the entire pub, besides the waitresses dancing barely naked.

I hope you like it!

relationship!

Today I’m writing a thesis statement about an experience I had.

Two and a half years ago I took a really big step when my boyfriend moved t olive with me.
He came from Venezuela to live here in Tampico even though his parents didn’t agree at first.

Now his living with me and we are going to college.
Our lives changed so much because now, we have to try to live with a very different person.
He had some habits that I wasn’t used to and I had some others he wasn’t used to neither.

Nowadays we manage to live together, we have rules and organization in the house (for the kid too.)
We have improved as a couple and we feel comfortable with each other.
Sometimes we have disagreements like every couple but now we can handle them in a very “grown up” way.

I feel very happy the way I live now, I love my boyfriend and my daughter and the situation made me grow up so much that I’m glad about that.
We have grown up in our relationship and we love to be together.

Speak

Hi, the name of the book that i´m going to talk about is speak.
The book is about a girl named Melinda Sordino who becomes an outcast because something happened to her and she doesn’t tell anyone about it, so all the people who used to be her friends (Rachel Bruin, Nicole, Emily), now are not talking to her and everybody looks at her like if she were crazy.
She meets someone named Heather who is trying to get into a club named “The Martha’s”, Heather is the only one who would talk to her, even if she doesn’t like her a lot.
There’s this guy (Andy Evans) in her school who she is really afraid of, but she doesn’t tell anyone, she just run from him every time she sees, hears or smells him. She wants so badly to talk to anyone about her problem, but she thinks nobody is going to believe her, she starts getting her grades lower and lower every time and the counselor of the school talks to her and to her parents but she wouldn’t talk. At the end she sees that the girl, who used to be her best friend (Rachel), is now in danger because she is going to prom with Andy. Melinda tries to warn her by telling her the secret that Andy raped her in a party last summer, but Rachel didn’t believe her.
Andy founds out what Melinda told to Rachel and he goes to look for her, he tries to rape her again but she founds the strength to fight and to be safe, and the end, she speaks and tell her story to her art teacher.
I hope you like it!

Valentine´s Day

Valentine’s Day!!!

Well, last Thursday was Valentine’s Day and I went to school thinking we were going to have classes, well, big mistake. The university was all full of people selling balloons, candies, chocolates and some other stuffs; I think there was too much joy for me and yes as you may think I’m kind of apathetic.
We thought on going to Italian Coffee, and we were there for a long time, just having silly talks but at the same time it was fun.
After that I went home and my boyfriend and my daughter were waiting for me with a dozen roses, beautiful by the way. After that we start talking and a while later I was tired and it was so late. We went to buy a subway and we went back home and that was it.
I really don’t like holidays but I actually had a good time last Thursday. I spent some time with my friends and time with my family and that was great!

twilight!

Hi!
Well I’m going to talk about a book that I just read, the name of the book is twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Well actually it is a book with sequence, there are 3 books now and the forth one is coming out on August 2nd 2008.
I’m not much of a reader but I really liked the story of the book, even if it sounds kind of silly and unreal. It´s a romantic story between a vampire and a human girl.
I’m going to give a brief review of the book:
The main characters are Bella and Edward (the vampire) and they live in Forks. He is able to read people’s thoughts, but he quickly discovers that he can’t read hers and that she’s the only person he can’t see thru. He falls in love with her and at the same time she falls in love with him, but not everything is that easy, he can’t resist her smell and his thirst by her blood, he finds the way to be near her and to repress the anxiety of eating her.
I’ve just read the first book, I’m going for the second one, but I really want to read the four books.
Well that’s it for now, I’ve already done the two essays for the week, and next week I’ll write two more.

superstitions!

Well, today I’m going to talk about superstitions.
In class we are know in that unit and because we haven’t written that much, the teacher asked us to write about superstitions.
Well I was surfing in the internet and I searched for superstitions, to see what are some superstitions people believe in, and I didn’t find much.

I found something about pregnancy and babies and I started to remember, well when I was pregnant some people said that by the shape of the belly, they could guess it’s was going to be a girl, in fact it was a girl, but I didn’t truly believe in that.

There is a superstition about that if a knife drops in your kitchen you will have visitors, I know that’s kind of silly and I really don’t believe in that on.
I think sometimes I want to believe in things like that, but at the same time, there are some silly things that you can’t possibly believe in them.

I’m not going to like I think I have some superstitions, I never thought about it until know, but I haven’t done the list jeje. What I truly believe is that if you set out something you can make it.

Well that’s it for now, later I’ll write another entry!

the twins joke

hi!, here is a really funny joke!, well I hope you like it, and remember don´t drink too much!!!


There was a man sitting at a bar, and he looks over at the gentleman sitting next to him and says,

• "Hey, you look familiar. Are you from around here?"
• The man answers, "Yeah, I live down the street."
• "No kidding?" says the first man, "Well, so do I. And hey, you look about my age. Where did you go to high school?"
• "Oh I went to Francis Lewis over on Utopia. Graduated in '66. How about you?"
• "Get out. I went to Francis Lewis. And I graduated in '66, too." "Where did you go to college?"
• "Beloit, in Wisconsin."
• "No way! I went to Beloit too. What dorm?"
• "Kevin Sullivan dorm."
• "Sullivan? You're not going to believe this . . ."

Joe the bartender walks over, and the first guy says,

• "Joe, you won't believe it in a million years. This guy went to the same high school as me, graduated the same year I did, and went to the same college. We were even in the same dorm. Isn't that amazing?"
• Joe looks at them both and says, "Yeah, that's just plain amazing."

A third man comes in and says, "Hey Joe. What's new?"

• Joe says, "Not much. The Johnson twins are drunk again”

A little bit of me!

Well hello! I´m kind of running out of ideas, so this time i´m going to talk about me, just for you to know me a bit better.

I was born in Tampico and when I was 4 years old I started to take piano and violin clases, I was pretty good at it, but at the age of 7 years old I had to leave it because I moved to Poza Rica to live, just because my dad was send there for work. I live there for about 10 years, and when I started high school I came back to Tampico. After high school. I didn´t know what to study, so I decided to go to Ramsgate to study English for nine months while I decided what to do with my life and actually those were some of the best months of my life, I had the chance to meet really nice people and friends, there, I met a really handsome spanish-venezuelan guy who´s now living here with me and our beautiful baby girl.

After all the excitement in my live, the things got quiet, I started College and hopefully after college I´ll go to live abroad to work and to study a master´s degree.

My awesome weekend

Hello!
Well, this weekend was fantastic! We have Monday off school, so I decided to go to Queretaro with some friends and my boyfriend.
I got to Queretaro on Saturday and my friends were waiting for me and my boyfriend already there, we took a shower and went out for a walk to get something to eat.
That day we visited many places and at the end of the day we went back to the hotel to have some drinks because we were really, really tired.
On Sunday we went on a tour to visit some other places and we bought some gifts for my family and my family-in-law.
On Monday my friends went back to Monterrey and my boyfriend and I stayed there to visit more places, at night we came back to Tampico and today I went to school.
Later I´ll put a picture because I have to download them to the computer.
