The best grandma ever!

Well I didnt get to know my grandmother  that much because she passed out when I was very young. I remember very few things like her being very nice with me, always giving me chocolate when I went to her house. I remember she used to live in a house next to mine and every morning when she heard me living for school, she would go outside her house and blow me a kiss with her hand. Thats the only memories I have but I think are the best. I love remembering her as that shes the only person who has had that kind of details with me.

Lawmakers

If I were in a committee that proposes new laws, these are my opinions why the could or couldn't work.
Marriage vows. People shouldn't be allowed . .
* to get married until they have taken a marriage-preparation course.
* to get a divorce until they have been married for 10 years.
to marry before tha age of 21

I dont think they have to be married for 10 years to get a divorce, thats stupid and cruel. People can realize after a year even a month that they dont like the way they are living and they should have the rights to decide what to do with there lifes whenever they want. Its not healthy to be an a marriage that doesnt work. I dont even think it is healthy to get married or to live with a partner...
I think at that age of 21 people is not mature enough even though they are having a baby I think they should wait and think what they really want for there lifes and at that age no one really knows what they want.
I also agree they should have a marriage- preparation course to see how they are going to live the rest of there life and how are they going to handle it. People make decisions without thinking of the consequences thats why there are so many divorces.

Let's go to Brazil

Brazil is South America's most influential country, an economic giant and one of the world's biggest democracies.
It is the biggest country in Latin America and is recognized for their natural attractions and one of the most famous carnivals in Rio de Janeiro. If one day you decide to visit Brazil, these are some places and things that you can visit or do.
Deffinietly you should go to the Amazon rainforest, it is one of the biggest in the world and it has one of the largest rivers too. You can enjoy the beautiful nature view while you're taking a boat trip along the river.
If you are a sports lover, the MaracanĂ£ Stadium in Rio, is the best choice for you. Don't lose the opportunity of watching a soccer game in one of the loudest and colorful stadiums in the world.-Take samba lessons! Don't be shy and shake your body at the rythm of brazil. It doesn't matter if you have never taken any dance classes before, in escola de samba you will learn everything that you need to become the best samba dancer-You must visit the Christ the redeemer statue on corcovado mountain, is one of the icons of Rio de Janeiro city.
 If you are a nightlife person, you should go to Rio or Sao Pablo. The main acts in the clubs in Rio are after midnight. However in Sao pablo has a more sophisticated style, but both of the cities offer great a unique drinking spots and a lot of fun.-You musn't lose the opportunity to enjoy of the most colorful and funniest carnival in the world.
Now,I'm sure that you're seriously thinking about going to brazil, right?Well if your answer is "yes", you must take note about some little details of what not to do in this country. . .
Don't tip waiters, it's not customary in brazil, it's include in the bill.- Don't make the "ok" sign with your hand, it's considered a very rude gesture.- Don't wear long sleeves, street clothes, or dress shoes at the beach.Don't give handkerchiefs because they are associated with funerals- Don't wear yellow and green together. Those are the colors of the Brazilian flag.- Don't give gifts that are purple or black. Those colors are for mourning.

"Two wrongs don't make a right."

One of my favorite English proverbs is "Two wrongs don't make a right." It means when someone has done something bad to you, trying to get revenge will only make things worse.
    I like it because when I was younger and people treated me bad I would always get very angry and wanted to do bad things for the them but then I realize it only made me act the same and it was wrong. So when someone does something bad at me I always remember not to act the same and that lifes job is to take care of those persons not me.

EVERYTHING ABOUT PEDRO

I didnt know who was Pedro until I started studying GLION. In first semester we didnt talk that much but everytime I asked him for something he would be nice. Since then I think of Pedro as a nice person.
This semester Pedro and I got at the same english class and there's when I got to know him better. He is a very kind and respectfull person, has a lot of values and he's the kind of person that would always be there for a friend.
He has been living in mexicali his all life,he has gone to other places for vacations but he never stay too long.
He has never considered living in another country, he really likes Mexico. One of the activties he love the most is going to the gym, he is always talking about it.
Something that he always remember about his childhood is that he used to had family reunions every sunday and played soccer with his cousins, he loved to do that but now everybody grew up and go to college so he don't see them as much as he would like to. He loves electronic music and one of his favorites artist is Miguel Campbell.
