Write about whatever you like.

One of my faorites things to do is to spend time with my daugther. She is like my little best friend, I can talk with her, go out with her, and even just have what we call it a lazy, relaxing day at home together. I like taking her out to eat, it's funny now, because she even tells me to which restaurant she will like to go. When we go out shopping is a whole adventure, because she makes her own suggestions about what she will like me to buy. For instance, when I go shopping for clothes and I am undecided between a skirt or a dress I ask for her opinion, but if I don't buy what she suggested for, then she sometimes gets upset. This doesn't happen really often, for most of the times we both have fun and enjoy each other company. When the weekend comes, we sometimes just want to rest from our daily busy routine from the week, so we both agree to stay home all day in our pajamas, and watch carttons, movies , or an interesting Tv. show. But since I started school this is hard to do for me, because I have so many things to catch on during the weekend.

Police I.D. young girl found dead in an alley.

This kind of news makes me really sad, this was only a thirteenth-year old girl. Brenda was her name and she run away in February 11th of this pressent year. The police department haven't released the cause of her death. I am a mother too and a lot of the things that happen now make me think al lot about when my daugther grows up. Honestly, I am frightned about when this time comes, I already stress too much about imagening being a parent of a teenager. I want to be a good mother but I know that not all the outcomes depend on me. My daugther is going to grow up and acquire her own personality, meanwhile what I can do is to develop a good,trusty, honest relationship with her as a mother and daugther, but most important one as FRIENDS!!!!

Write about a plan you came up with recently. How well did it work?

The most recent plan that I came up with was to save enough money to buy a computer for home use. I wanted to go back to college but technology started been used everywhere, so it wasn't hard to guess that I was going to be using and needing a comuter for my assigments, homework, etc.,etc, It was really important for me to achieve this goal because I have to work , I am a mom, so having a computer at home means for me less time at the library and more comfortable privacy at home. I started saving money the most that I could on every pay check, finally by the end of December I had saved almost eight-hundred dollars. On this month there are a lot of good discounts on all the big stores because of Christmas time and I took advantage and bought my first computer. I am really happy about this because especially on this class having a computer gives me several advantages like for instance, saves me time.

Write about your favorite commercial.

I don't have any favorite commmercial. When I watch Tv, I don't pay attention to them, during a Tv show meanwhile the commercials are on I stand up and do something else during this time. Besides, since school started I don't have much time left to watchTv, and most of the time I see movies that I rent at Hoolywood video and as everybody knows no commercials are included here. I don't even pay attention to the previews of future movies coming up. For me most of the commercials are the same, kind of boring for me. When I was pregnant, I used to like to commercials that babies were on them, but the only reason was that I use to imagine my baby and how she was going to be.

Graphic video on meth.


I believe that it is a very good idea to educate kids in school about drugs and t heir consecuenses. Drugs are todays world reality and avoiding to talk about them is not a big help. Parents not all the time are open mind at home with their kids and even though is not the schools job to educate students about meth is a good time investment to help our society to become better. By young people being aware about all the harm that meth doest to their body, they will think about it twice before getting involved with this drug. Kids spend a lot of time in school and most of the times when they are informed not only by goup discussions but also by videos like this one, they find it more interesting to learn about the subject on discussion: like in this case.

What is the most spectular place that you have been? How did you reacted?

I do believe that for me the most espectacular place that I ever been is Disneyland, I was only five years old back then, so that had a little bit to do with this decision. As a child you get impressed really easily but besides that Disneyland is great, spectacular, and beatiful place. I was so happy, excited, I keep running to get to next ride. I wanted to experiment every amusement, ride, show that there was. I still remmember how I use to ask my mom to walk faster, so we could get to next ride location sooner than the other people. This year I am planning to take my most precious treasure ( that is how I call my daughter) , I want her to have a great experience and memories like me.

"The Admiralty House"


It's amazingng how much history this building has. It's nice that files like this article exist, there is a lost of important history that should be known world wide. This house was habitated by so many important people like superintendent's, British commander in chef of early years such as 1945, 1958. It's was sad that for the purpose of builting the first swimming pool around the year of 1945, they putted to work Japanese prisioners of war. But back in history I know that was really normal to have slaves or prisioners and used them for hard work and have them in bad conditions. Other thing that got my attention is to know how many times this building was renamed. I am glad that finally this building has been opened up for the public, a musement is always a good source to encourage individuals in general to learn about history.

Az central website article.

I read about the grandfather in North Phoenix that shooted against his own grandkids and their friends killing two of them, I am horrified about this situation I can't imagine how can a person can hurt any of their own family members or people in general. I honestly think that this person has no hearth and no mind to be capable of doing this. I am really sensitive to cases like maybe the major reason is because I have a daughter and I know that I will never hurt her doing something bad to her on purpose. I keep thinking about the parents of these kids and going throug out the pain of knowing that their own father attempted against their kids. I wish that this people will be changing for good but for most of the changes have been for worst. Now days any kinf of family violence incidents are more frequently happening.

How's it going so far in this course? Write about what you've like and dislike so far.

So far in this course I feel that I am doing O.K. I have finish up all the assigments on this class but to be honest I am kind of nervous of he becoming things that I still have to learn in this course. I am really worried about understanding the four different types of sentences that there are, I am having a hard time doing this and my biggest concern is when the time of the quiz comes. It's harder for me to concentrate and accomplish all of my homeworks because I really don't have too much tome left of the day to dedicate to my studying. What I have like so far is having to use technology for my assigments even though I don't much about how to use it but finding me kind of forced to do it I know that I have to learn and best of all that I am willing to learn: I need to updated my self. Everything in this course goes so fast and I think that is really what I don't like so far about this course and having to do lots of homework but that especifically don't like because of me not having sufficient day time to do it. My teacher explains things to fast and I don't even have time to ask right there and then, I understand that this is not high school but not every body is available when she can be available after class time.

Something that I noticed about me today?


Today as soon as I woke up I noticed that I was felling kind of down, like depressed. I don't like to be having this sensation maybe is because my brother is on the hospital having a second surgery for the same reason. I can't tell the exact reason for feeling this way because at this moment many things are happening in my life that upset me. In school I keep getting lot's of homework from most of my teachers and I feel that I will never finish up all of it; at work things are slow but very boring. Having the responsability of keeping up with the responsabilities of a house and be a good mother, student and worker it is absorbing most of my energy. I have a lot of faith on myself and I know that I wont give up but I also feel that I might need some distraction to have a little bit of fun.

Soccer game between U.S. vs Mexico?

People on the pictures look very happy, cheerful, and excited. More than 62,000 attended which the majority of them where hispanics but that didn't matter for the U.S. soccer team, for them it was enough with 11 players and their coach to win. The Mexico team played good, but for what I can tell they need it more confidence on themselves. They had a lot of opportunities to score a goal but they weren't really kicking the ball with a lot of decision. This was a great game but there is always have to be a winner, the U.S team proved that the really know how to be a team and the victory was well deserved. The second time they scored was totally amazing surprise for everybody there at the game, especially for the opponent team. In overall my opinion is that was a great game but as a Hispanic I am really disappointed with the Mexico team the same thing happens all the time, they have all what they need to win but it just doesn't happend the way.

It has interesting reading the article about "Parachuting" or skydiving. Learned new things about this activity like that competitions took place as early as in the 1930's and after that it became an international sport in 1951 to be more accurate. Personally I am not that brave to practice parachuting I will problably freak out meanwhile on the air and die of a heart attack. Even though I am afraid of experiencing this kind of activities I do believe that is a great experience for the people who does it, just the fact of being up there close to the sky free like the bird having the pure air as your company is amazing I will say. Hopefully one day I will encourage my self to go skydiving and know for sure how high my adrenaline level gets.

I wouldn't like to be famous for several reasons but the most important one is that I don't like anybody to get into my life in any way. I would be problably arguing or figthing with everybody who criticize me. I don't like to get into other peoples' life because I like my own privacy, one the things that I hate more is that when i do something without harming anybody people still have the courage to say something bad about me. I do believe on the words privacy rights, if somebody asks me my opinion I will give it but not unless I have been asked to. Within my family members I will like to be recognize as a hard worker, good mother, trustfull and responsable. I will do what it makes me happy and confortable without caring what other people say unless is my daugter. I wouldn't do anything that will embarresed her.
