Tuesday Tunes-Day.... The Last
To me this song sounds like the songs that are played in almost all movies when they just start. The first part of it sound like that but then the rest sounds more like the songs play at the end of a movie when someone is dying or geting out of a problem.
It started really slow and almost imposible to lisent it, but then becames a little noisy and then more noisy. Finally the song end really slow...
"Quantity vs. Quanlity"
I believe that it is important to spend time doing just one thing than doing many things at the same time. For Example, if you are just taking time to do one thing, you can focus more in that. You can revise more than once your work and find out where your mistakes are to fix them. On the other hand if you are doing many things at the same time you can’t even take time to revise your work.
To me...

Tunesday- Tunes 11
This song to me sounds like the singer, I don’t know if is trying to describe a moment in his life or a moment of someone really closet to him. It sounds really low and at the same time sounds like is singing to take out something that is inside him hurting. So he may be find out that the best way to take out was by singing it. What makes me think this way is that the music sounds low and...
An Important Person In My Life
An important person in my life is a wonderful woman. I see her as a role model to follow. I have many reasons to consider her as the most important person in my life. One of these reasons is something that makes her a unique person. Almost 14years ago her husband decided to go to United States because before him meet her he used to live in Chicago and he earned more money than what he earned in...
The Glass Castle
There are many reasons why I like this book. The most important reason is the love and innocence of a smart young girl that keeps her believing on her parents even though that they hadn’t been good parents at all. Another reason because I love this book is because when I was reading it I could feel a huge emotion, like if I was part of it. I also realize that kids who live with alcoholic people...
tuesday tunes-day 10
This song sounds scary at the beginning. It sounds like the songs that are played in the horror movies specially when is at night and something bad is going to happen to someone who is sleeping or doing something else, someone that would never had in mind that something horrible could happen to them. But then the song mixes that same music with another low music that makes it less scary. It also...

Two of my favorite Mexican meals are tamales and pozole.These meals are just delicious. To me the best person to cook these meals is my grandma. These meals are pozole and tamales. My family mostly cooks this kind of food in especial occasions, like Christmas or in the birthday of someone. Tamales are made of corn dough and inside of it contain chicken meat with red or green mole. Its flavor is...

Tuesday Tunes-day 9
Listening to this song make me realize of things that had happened to me and sometimes still happening that were and are not good. Things that made me feel sad and cried. When I thought everything was right and nothing could go wrong, it was in that exactly moments when I fall down. It takes me for ever to stand up again, but I did it. Then when I thought that no one could be passing for worst...
I Smell… a Powerful Smell
I can still remember that disgusting odor that everyone in the town could smell. I was at school when rarely some of the students started feeling dizzy. I could predict that those students felt like that because of the horrible smell in the air. This toxic smell came from one of the near factories around the town. The smell was like poison moving around us. No one could see it, but everyone could...

Tuesday-Tunes 8
This song starts slow. It sounds really relaxing like the kind of song that you would probably heard in a really emotion story. It makes me think in a movie I don’t exactly remember its name, it was something like “Under the Same Moon” I washed almost two years ago. It was about a woman who left her son in Mexico and came here to get a better job and earn more money. A song almost same as this...
I Will Eat
The restaurant that I might go is Coco Taco. I will eat Mexican food, something spicy. The reason because i’m interesting in this restaurant is because is close where i live, so it would be easier for me to get there. Also I had ever before be in the restaurant, but some friends told me that its food is delicious. So i probably would go on saturday.
The proudest moment in my life
School in Mexico is in somehow different. One of the most important thing that is different is the way school years are divided. For example; after kinder garden students go to preschool, then to Middle School which is from 1st grade to 6th grade, then students move to other school that is called “Secundaria” this school is from 7th grade to 9th grade. Then to another school that is from 10th...

This is a fast food that is in all the menus of the restaurant that I know. In the first place that I would be going to buy it would be in McDonalds. There are many variety of this fast food. Most of the people who eat this food combine it with french fries. I think that all the people love it. It might be because it is really easy to prepare and also taste it good. Some of the ingredients that...
taboo 1
The thing that I need to describe is something really delicious. Most of the people especially kids love it. We eat it one every time we want to. Even though that we know that consume them in a large amount is unhealthy.This thing comes in different shape, sizes and flavors. Some times it is sour and other sweet.I don’t really know someone who doesn’t like it.
The best moment to get a lot...
A Skittle
The skittle that I ate tastes delicious. It tasted kind of sweet and salty; to be more exactly tastes sour. Not in all the time that I had being eating it tasted sour. It was weird, like some parts of the skittle were sweets and other salty and all combine produced the sour flavor of the small circular skittle. At the same time I was imagined eating it in the bright of the sun might be because...
Tuesday-tunesday 7
The song sounds really quiet almost imposible to listen it. Then it starts going louder and louder, then is going down again. To me sounds like the sounds that I would heard in the middle of a forest or a place cover with trees and flowers. A place where I would be glad to be. A place where I can talk to my self without getting interupt with the problems of others and even my owns problems. Its...
The Meal From Hell
The meal that I really hate is mastocholi. I don’t like at all this kind of food. It might be because I had never taste it before when I was in Mexico so when I arrived here to my cousin’s house his wife cooked this meal to us. She also served it with meat but stil i didnt like it at all. Can even be in the kitchen when my mom is cooking it. I just hate how it smell. I think that its smell is so...
The Greatest Meal Ever
The greatest meal that I ever have is a mexican meal called birrea and is also served with rice. It’s a little spicy and jucy and the rice is also kind of jucie but not spicy. It is also serve with corn tortillas.
It is mostly serving in dinner. You can combine it with most of all the beverages like soda and juice. It’s so delicious that I could eat it twice at day.

So I kind didn’t know what to do. I just tried to guess in some of them. On the other hand there were also some questions that were really easy and I didn’t spend much on it. In some parts of the test I knew that I know the...

There is a guy in the movie that is driving around one place to another. In each place that he stops he picks up different guys. These guys are troble makers.

This song sounds weird. It has some really loud parts and other parts are so hard to lisent. some parts make me think in a place where there is just peace. other parts transfer me to a crazy place where there is not silence.
When I listened this song, I immediately connected with the life. Sometimes you are relax and you feel pretty fine, but others time you just feel lost and think that you will...
What I Hate The Most (Hot Dog)
One thing that pisses me is when I’m washing the news and I heard about a rape. when I heard about that kind of abuses I feel like something inside of me is going to explote.

I think that this song is relaxing because it sounds slow in some parts and kind of fast in others.

It is like telling sad things that sometimes happen to us, but not to make us feel bad, instead to make us reliaze that does hard momments of sadness are the experience that help us to keep going and stand up even that we don’t feel like it. Those hard experience help us to be better people and give us hope that if we could survived before...

Tuesday Tunes-Day 2
This song sounds like the song that was play when I graduated from 8 grade. It is telling not a sad story but not exactly happy, like saying good bye to the people that you meet in case that you won’t see them any more. Also sounds to me like thinking about that doesn’t matter that you leave a place or people, the good memories will always be there.

This song makes me think about sadness and peace. Some parts sounds like something sad is happening. In other parts sounds really calm and peaceful. It also transfer me to a silence place where there is people who feel sad and something is hurting them, but they don’t want to show it. So they prefer to be calm and keep their emotions to theirself. Also it sound like somene really special had...

I’m a senior whose teacher of writing Workshop class has asked us to created online blogs for journaling purposes. I only have 4 years learning English, so I really have a lot of errors on my writings. When I am going to write something I take a long time planing what I’m going to write, I also spend some time revising my writing each time as I go and also once I’m done.
