Singer me???

Hello0!!

I'm here today to talk a little bit about my non- singing career... jajaja Well...I'll write about this because my teacher told me to.=)

First of all I have to say that I only sing in the shower, but I really enjoy doing it( not as I enjoy dancing, but I like to sing too)specially when I sing with my friends. My father's family are musicians, his mother and his oldest sister play the piano. My youngest aunt plays the guitar.My dad and his brother sing, and I have to say that they are good at it.

When I was in elementary school I had a friend that liked to dance too, and we used to make our "concerts"...jajaja we sang( we used playback of course...) and danced, and we invited all our friends to watch us in our performances. We had a lot of fun. Of course we wanted to be famous, sell many records and make concerts, but it was just a dream because the truth is we didn't have enough talent... so this was the end of my non-singing carrer.

I love to hear music, I love to dance it, and I try to sing it...jajaja but I must admit that's not what I'm good at, so as I said before I only sing in the shower, that way nobody can hear me...jajaja

My Favorite Movie...

Ayeeeee!

I'me here again....=) to write about my favorite movie: Pirates of the Caribbean 1,2 and 3. An this is not my favorite movie because my 2 boyfriends appear on it( Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp...jajaja)...no0o0o, this is my favorite movie because I love Pirates.=)

This movie is about the adventures of crazy Captain Jack Sparrow( Johnny Depp) and his mates.

Pirates of the Caribbean 1: The curse of the Black Pearl...This was the first movie and it tells the story of the tripulation of the Black Pearl, now leaded by Captain Barbosa which is under a curse. They have to get all the pieces of a treasure to break the spell. They find the last one in Port Royal where Elizabeth Swan( Keira Knightly) and William Turner(Orlando Bloom) live. Sparrow helps Will find Elizabeth, and recue her from the tripulation of the black pearl, and with this he can get his ship back and complete his revenge.

Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead man's chest, is the second part( as you can see...) In this movie Jack sparrow has a debt with Davy Jones, and he has to pay for it. The only way to scape from this is to find the chest of davy Jones( that contains his heart) and kill it. By doing this you have to take the place of Davy Jones, traveling arround the world bringing souls to his locker, and you can only touch land once every 10 years.At the end of this movie Jack Sparrow dies by the hand of the Kracken( a creature controlled by Davy Jones), and the rest of his friends( including Captain barbosa, who was revived) have to find a way to bring him back.

Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At world's end...this is the last movie. In this one Sparrow's friends travel to Davy Jones’ Locker, where Jack Sparrow is, and they bring him back to fight against the army that Jones has. Accidentally William Turner dies, but sparrow and Elizabeth find a way to keep him alive, by killing Jones´heart and taking his place for the eternity.... I didn't like the end of this movie because Elizabeth and will can't see each other, only every 10 years...so sad.... jajaj but I really liked everything else.

...Yo-jo, Yo-jo, A pirate's life for me.......=) c ya next post

Book report...=)

Hello0o0o0 again=)

I'm here today to write about a book I liked a lot,it's name is Ode to billy joe by Herman Raucher, or in spanish:"Sublime amor juvenil". Actually, this is my favorite book. The first time I read it was 2 years ago, and I really loved it. I've read it like 4 times.

The story takes place in 1950, in a town called Webb, ubicated in the Tallahatchie country, Mississippi. Bobby Lee Hartley is a 15-year old girl that is in love with Billy Joe McAllister, who loves her too. They see each other in secret, because her parents think she's too young to be in love. Everybody in town starts to talk about their secret romance whan a girl in town saw them together.

They make plans to run away together, but one day Bobby Lee recieves terrible news: her love: Billy Joe had jumped from the Tallahatchie bridge and killed himself. He had been raped by an unnamed man at a party, and he was unconscious. Before his death he went to see Bobby Lee and confessed her the truth. He felt guilty, and jumped from the bridge...

She ran away, and returned years later to Webb, where she lived the rest of her life...

I really liked this book because it's a real life story. This romance did happen! and this bridge does exist! I'll recommend this book to romantic people who like love stories.

When I was reading the part when she knows he's death, I was crying....jajaja, I'm a cry baby...I know...=)

That's everything for today... c ya next post...=)

My Brother & me=)

My hobby....

Hello0o0o0o again=)

Today I'm here to talk about my favorite hobby...

It is Dancing!...as you can see... hehehe...

Well Dancing is not just to listen to music and move..NO0O0O0O! Dancing is more than that! Dancing is expressing yourself with your body, it's the movements involved in the music, it's the hidden language of your soul( that sounded very poetic...), and for me it's the greatest passion ever.

I've danced since I have sense of reason, and it's something I really enjoy. The best experiences I've ever had dancing, were in the two musicals I was in( Viva voz Ed. Es, and Viva voz 5: Geminis). I entered there for my brother( who is a dancer too, I forgot to mention that in the last post...jijijij)

The firts days I felt that I wasn't going to make it all up to the musical, because of the time, the rehearsals, etc. but I decided to go ahead. It was the best choice, because I experienced something I've never experienced before: Dancing in at a stage. It's the best thing you can ever feel, listening to the music, hearing and seeing all your family and friends that are there just to watch you. And It's all up to you. To make it right or to run away...

When I'm sad or angy, I dance , and all my problems go away. I once read something about that: Next time you're mad, try dancing out your anger. It makes you feel better=)...

So now you know where my passion is:...It's all in a dance floor....=)

My family

Hello0... I'me here to talk a little bit about my family...=)

I live in Tampico Tamaulipas Mexico...with my family...( jajaja really???)






My Father: Oscar Luis Alcocer Lartigue, he has his own business of waterproofing( I really don't know well if this is the correct word...). My father is very cool and fun. I love him very much because he supports me always and he takes care of his family a lot.



My mother: Maria de Lourdes Guzmán Garza, she is an English teacher. She works at the Instituto Anglo Mexicano( elementary). My mother is very supportive with me, she is like my best friend, she's always doing things to make us happy.








My Sister: Maria de los Angeles Alcocer Guzmán. She is 8 ( almost 9 ) years old. She's like me in a small presentation...jajaja. I love her very much! I remember that when I was her age, I wanted so badly to have a sister or brother to play with, so when she was born I was really happy. I know that even if she doesn't understand my problems very well, she will always be there supporting me like the sister she is.



My brother: Jesus Ismael Esqueda Gutierrez.....well, he's not my brother of blood, ( as you can see in the last names...) but for me he's my REAL brother. I can't talk about my family and not mentioning him. My parents love him too.He is the best friend I've ever had. I love him so much! I met him when I went to get my job, and after that day we were almost inseparable. He's always there for me when I need him, he takes care of me and the most important thing, he understands me a lot, like a real brother... Ande he knows I'll be here for him always...=)

My Valentine's Day

Hello0!!


I'm here again to tell you my story of valentine's day! It was really awesome.

First of all, my friends and I made the" Secret Friend" exchange. I had to buy a gift to Martha, which was really good, because I know her very well...=)
Everydar Since February 1st, we had to give a small secret gift to our friend, like a candy or something small. It was fun, because sometimes we said out loud: "Hey secret friend...I'm going out of the classroom, you can put my gift now..." jajaja.


Today was the great day to know who was our secret friend.We went to have lunch at conni pizza, and there we were going to make the exchange. I had a great surprise when I saw martha with my gift. She was my Secret Friend, and I was Her secret Friend too!

Then we went back to the party of our school, it wasn't as fun as the last years, but it was not so bad=). I arrived home early, and I went out with two friends of mine: Erick( who sometimes posts me) and Laura.We went to gaelic and had a great time. I had a great valentine's day with almost all my friends, hope to see soon the ones that I didn't see today.

well I think that's everything for today because I want to sleep...jijijiji

see you next post.=)

Superstitions

Hello... I will talk...ejem, write... a little bit about superstitions...

Number 13, black cats, mirrors, etc.

Wo0ow! I didn't consider myself superstitiuos until I began to think about all the things that are superstitions, and I know more than I could Imagine....jajaja. So maybe I'm a little superstitious, maybe normal...

For example, I wouldn't like to break a mirror( well I don't think of anyone who'd like to break one..) but just in case, because they say I would have bad luck during seven years.

I have also heard that if you spill salt on the table, you will have bad luck, unless you throw a pinch over your left shoulder. And about the black cat thing... It is not my favorite animal, but I don't mind if I see one.

There's another one! If 13 people sit down at a table to eat, one of them will die before the year is over.( Imagine... If it's New year's dinner....jajaja)

And talking about number 13, I've heard that in Hotels and hospitals, there is no room number 13...and something funny I read on Internet: In Florence, Italy, the house between 12 and 14 is adressed as 12 and a half. They say it's also bad luck to open an umbrella inside the house.

My family and I have a friend, she is Cuban. Many things that I know about superstitions come from her. She always tells me stories about the fear that something bad may happen.

I hate to admit it, but yes, I'm a superstitious girl, just in case...( I need to protect myself) =)

Valentine's day! soon...

Hello!♥

I'm here to write about one of my favorite celebrations! ♥VALENTINE'S DAY!♥

I really like valentine's day because we celebrate all the love and the friendship we have. This day we express how much we care for the ones we love, sending letters, flowers, chocolates, gifts, etc.

This special day, celebrated on February 14th, is called Valentine's day to honor a cathololic Priest called Valentine. The legend tells that he served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men were better soldiers than those that were married and had a family, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of this, didn't follow the rules of Claudius and continued performing marriages for young lovers secretly. When Valentine was discovered by Claudius, he was put to death.

According to the legend, Valentine sent the first "valentine"gift himself. because while he was in prision, he fell in love with a girl who visited him. Before his death, he wrote the girl a letter, that he signed "From your Valentine", an expression that is still used today.Isn't this interesting? =)

Have a happy valentine's day!....

4 days to go...

The Paerson Course @ Victoria City

Hello...I was a little bit away from here, this week was very exhausting, We had exams, translations, and a lot of work (from my job).But now I'm here to write about it all.

Lasr friday I went to Victoria City, with my co-workers. We left at 5:30 am. And I had to wake up at 4:00 am! My friends and I had to go at the back of the bus because, as ussual, we were the last ones to get into the bus. We wanted some stuff from OXXO and we wasted a lot of time waiting for a friend.

I always feel sick when I travel in bus at the back of it. So you will undestand the fisrt part of the trip was not so fun.

Later on we arrived to Victoria City.We went to a Pearson Course. First some students made a little roleplay. It was like an example of the things we can do with our students. And then the we had a conference with the Author of the book that we use with our students: Mario Herrera.

He is a very experienced teacher. He has traveled all around the world, teaching teachers, in places such as Egypt, Alaska, Comombia, Peru, and many other places. He made the course so fun, that I forgot I was at work.The course was about our new books. They taught us how to use them correctly and to get the most out of them. We took some pictures with him and I got one of my books signed by him. It was really interesting.

When the course finished, My friends and I went to "explore" the city, we took some pictures in a park near the hotel. While we were waiting for the rest of our co-workers to get some metarial we were given at the course.

We left Victoria City at 3:00pm and we stopped at Zaragoza to have lunch.

We had a funny experience there because one of the teachers threw into the trash a bag that contained some make up of another teacher, and when we left Zaragoza and were on the road, she asked the bus driver to go back. So we had to go back and look for the bag she had thrown into the trashcan! Thankfully we found it because the owner of the makeupbag was getting mad!!!!

We arrived to Tampico at 6:30 pm, this was the end of our trip.
