there is one better

in viviana's blog about myspace.com she expalin why she likes that web page...actually I agree with her...it is a good way to express ourselves creating something that a lot of people could see...no just your friends...also your friends' friends...and your friends' friends' friends...it is really cool...and as all that people can see your sttuf you can see their's too...BUT...I find hi5.com even more exacting...I don't know...it's maybe the design of the page and even the kind of people who join that web page...it's cooler than myspace...I think

that is a good idea

I read erika's blog Step by Step and I find really interesting how she thinks about doing an analysis of a piece of lecture...all the steps that she desvrine make sense and that is a good way to understand somebody's writing...I think I can use those ideas add to main ones and, since now, make some good analysis of pieces of literature like those that we did read in class...yes...let's do it

why again

two weeks ago I was really exited about the start of winter and all the snow coming down from the sky...I really did like that last winter but thhose feelings are down now...I am tired of being cold, feeling my face freezing everytime that I have to walk from parking to class, everytime that I forget my gloves or I have to clean my car because of the snow...also is easier to find something to wear in summer...it is just a t-shirt, a pair of shorts and some sandals or flip flops and that is it but in this season it is t-shirt, shirt or long sleeve shirt, sweater and a coat, and andre pants, pants and boots...ay ay ay...too much...it is interesting how uncomfortable we feel after waiting for something that when it comes we do not want.
now I have to remember to register in some classes at the very beginning of the day so I could find parking near the classes and walk a less area at campus...just wish me luck

so far so good

I was doing a essay for my final test in my English Class and it was about immigrants and how they ( I mean we) assimilate or not the american culture while living here...the thing is that I used my personal experience to describe how hard is the first months here and how I assimilated all the experience; so I realize that I have live a lot of experiences here and I had really hard moments but now I am happy because all taht happen and now and do not have limitations anymore...all depends of everyone...how hard you work on it... how much you want to live better...I really do not understand when I see young people who have been more time than me and they have in a worst situasion than main...I realize that I was hard first but now I know that everything happen because a reason.

a real problem

I was reading karina's blog about her memory problem and I think that is something to worry about because it coud get worst because the cells of our brain do not rebuild theirselves..if they are bad , they are going to stay like that and can make sick the good ones...and as she says there is a difference between that and just being distracted...I am a distracted person and sometimes I forget the keys in my car, or if I go back home to pick up something Iwhen I came there I do everyting but not pick it up that thing and I realized that when I am again out...I have a really good one: I used to have my caps and hats everywhere so I decided to put in a place where nobodyelse could take them and I was going to remember easily where they were...but since that day I am missing them..all of them

good for her

I just read jackeline's blog called "My weekend" and besides she is talking about being seek and hospital she is a possitive person...I really like when she say: "good weekends and not so good weekends (I do not use the word bad)"......I realy like that....is good to know that there are people who think like her because it does not matter how bad a situation is...there is something good that we can get from it and she is that kind of person...I am like her too...and to compare with a personal situation if you read my blog what a saturday everything is bad but the good thing is that after taht I could go to work so my friend invited me and dad to her apartment and there he offer himself to cook spaghettis with beef in ragu sauce and those were delicious...that was the good part of that bad day....and if that bad thing does not happened to my car I was being working, my dad at home and she at hers...you guys see...everything happen because of something

just came out

I was thinking about what I could write about in this blog so I am justgoing to tell you guys what just happened here in the computer lab. there were a lady next to me trying to print a power point presentation for her class of spanish literature and were she went to the printer to take her sheets of paper I noticed that she had about nine errores in her writing... but the interesting part of this is that she were thinking in english and that is why she made those mistakes...and was in that moment when I understand that that my professors keep telling me since I started to study English in this country: if you do not think in English you are not going to be able to speak correctly...taht is true...it just came out in this situation...I could not find that out without this lady...thanks no-name lady

what a saturday

this last saturday my dad were coming from Miami but I could not go to the La Guardia Airport to pick him up because of the schedule in my job so my best friend offer herself to go there and pick him up...40 minutes after she left Elizabeth she called me to tell me that there were something burning in my car...there were smoke in the motor area: a hose was broke and the water were coming out...I left home to go there and take the car to a repair shop...they "fixed" the problem but just temporarily because the dealer was close so they could not bought the hose and replace it...they just improve a connector between both parts of the hose...so that was something cheap I though but they charge me 97 bucks because they knew that I was really far from home so I had no alternative...we left the mechanic to come back and the same hose broke again in other area so we decided to called a tow truck to pick up my car and bring it here so I will repair later...soon..like in two weeks because the towed cost me 165 dollars plus the repair that I had to pay...that with no counting the many that I lost no working that day was about 4 hundred bucks...but I have nothing to do...just keep walking, right?

christmas one more time

I can not believeit...this year just passed so fast....we are about to finish itand the most important days are coming...the celebration of Jesus is the most important of those because we remember when he was born and all his life...for me....a latin guy..that is the only important theme that we have to celebrate...I do not believe is those holidays like thanksgiving..that is not part of my customs...and even here they do not know the really purpose of the occasion...they just want to be comfortable...eating something good..actualy as I could see most of the people in this country enjoy more during the thanksgiving dinner or building the christmas three than being better people...than offering something to eat to poor or homeless people...that is the most important part of this season: sharing, being with the people who you love, the people who may need you..that is christmas for me

going back

ahhhh....just five more weeks....that is it and I will be in Peru for three weeks!!! ....after this holiday season, the first days on january I will flying to Peru to visit my mom, brother, grandma and friends....I can not wait to be there....in january!!! you guys know what that means? ...it is summer!!...ahhh three weeks of sun, sand, sea, waves, oh boy......amazing....besides, I will scape three weeks of the cold temperature in here....those moments, those days in our natives countries have no comparison and all the immigrants know what I am talking about...It is like going back on time...a few days of that stile of live with my people...and then..come back to start a new semester....so excited about new courses, new experiences, new friends...I am just realizing that the next year is going to start in a great way...I will tell you guys how my trip was....just wish me good luck

ana's

it is so curious and interesting.....everytime somebody who came to this country have an opportunity to express about any issue one of their option will be their own country, how much they miss it and how are they been here......all the immigrants want to talk about it....and Ana is not the exception....it is like they have to says their felling, their worries...in my case....I did it too and I know that a lot of people could feel realy identified with it....however I do not think as they.....most of the immigrants want to stay here and raise a family here but in my personal case I want to finish college and go back to my country and there, be someone who change something for the benefits of the comunity....I do not see my future in this country....I prefer my peru...the style of life is better there....there is not time limited to do anything.

rodrigo's almost accident

when he told about this accident a few weeks ago I did not understand what really happened that day but today when I wrote his blog I understood how his "almost accident" was and how his instincts and the providence help him out.....actually that happen everytime: there are a lot of crazy drivers outside so we have to think for us and them as well......our instincts and the providence have to work for us and them because sometimes they never realized that they were about to have an accident with somebody else and they never know how bad his driving is until they actually have an accident.

no more undecided

two weeks ago I was so worry about my choice referent to my major.....because I was studying communications and journalism in my country before come to live here....but when I came to the United States I decided to study Graphic Communications.....that was three semesters ago and lately I was thinking if I made the best decision...I was thinking to change to communications or broadcasting....but last week I finally met my advisor....a little bit late right...in my third semester....anyway....we were talking and I was telling that this semester I am just taking my second course in English...so we asked me about where I am from and what my native language is....so when I answer Spanish he said that I made a good decision with this major because in the field at the office everybody speak English but everytime the office people have problems to express to the workers at the factory area because mostly they speak Spanish and the products that they use have instructions and Spanish too so the communication between them is limited....I though that being there is not just being translator...is being somebody to help the communication so I would working in graphics and also in communications too....I made the best decision

Juanita from Venezuela

I did read Juanita's blog about her country: Venezuela.....as -I think- everyone who was not born in this country she fell so proud of being from her native country.....she remember how her life was and she let us know all the small things that she miss from there.....as all the immigrants here I understand her because here we find better opportunities so we can study and work at the same time doing both things well....But the style of life that we have in our countries we can just get there......In my personal experience I think that I will go back to my country right after I get my degree in Graphic Communications to live there and work in my field in my field.....I hope so

no more halloween please

Finally all this this about hallowen is over. this is the only thing that make want to go back to my country....I have to accept: I got scared easily...I never watch scary movies or listen to those scary tales that the friends like to say when they are at somebody's home during latenight...that is how I am....and in this season it does not matter where I looked at I saw something scare...movies...customs....those scary songs where you just hear a piano...and the atmosphere in these days was so cold....at night the streets were solo....my brother bought this scary devil mask to use at work and when I was home at night we was watching TV in my bedroom with it...so I went into my room and that thing freak me out the whole night...then I woke up today and it was so different...a sunny day....everything was happy and funny....things on TV...my way to work...during it...now at college....finally I have eleven months to be calm...do not laugh please...it is true

coment n reflection

I just read rosmery's blogs and I can say that she write what she feels...is sincere and reflexive and actually I feel identified with her because I had those experiences too.....all her problems when she moved to Kean made me remember when I finished high school in my country and I had to move to other city and live on my own and was really hard and sad for the first months but after that you find the way to make yourself entertained and let the bad and sad thinkings go....her other blog about her mom was so "feeling" too and as I say everytime....the only thing that a man can feel envy related to a woman is the fact of never feel the love as the mothers feel....all of us could see how they work for us...all the sacrifices they make because of our safety....and the most important thing is that they do not do that looking for something back but because they love us.

one more time the winter

I heard a lot of people talking about how they happy are about the summer and the hot temperatures are going away.....it is funny.....nobody is content with anything....if there is humid..why...if it is hot..why...and soon I am going to start hearing people complaining about the cold temperature.....all the mess with the snow...maybe some accidents in consequence....people getting mad because of the cleaning their driveways of sidewalks.....and they will be praying for the end of the winter.....they will wish a short cold season and an earlier arrive of the spring and then the complaining circle is going to start again in august or september....just good luck guys and take it easy...it is a process

Waiting

Waiting......I saw this movie because a lot of people told me that was funny and actually because I work as a waiter....it was so really funny.....incrediblely funny....but actually those things that they make to the customers do not make sense....because if I want to bother somebody that person have to know what I did....if that person never is going to find out what I did so I did not bother him or her......but however...it was amazing.....it is unbelievable that they do whatever they want and their manager never finds out and they keep doing all those nasty things....such as things that only came out of a sick brain
