My holidays

Imagen
My coming summer holidays will gonna be the most boring for many reasons. One of them because I will have to prepare my "research work" and it contains a lot of pages to do and that's spend too much time for take holidays and enjoy my free times, so in 1st baccalaureate it's too heavy for students and teachers too because they have to think about exercises and then they have to correct every research work of each student, so everybody wins if the research work get annulled. And then, I have to think about an oral presentation of my research work, and again, teachers have to evaluate my oral presentation and mark my work. And all this if I don't fail my research work! For another side, I have to hard work with my family as every summer I did, so I don't think I will can make a good research work if I have to combinate my time with work,studies and free time in less than three months. I really wish to end baccalaureate because it takes a lot of time for me...

Who is Tommy Vext, the Fill-in Singer for "Five Finger Death Punch? Earliear today (June 14), it was revealed that Ivan Moody was taking leave from Five Finger Death Punch in the midst of their European tou after sang admitted that he had "fallen off the wagon" again. With Moody stepping awar for the time being, it was announced that Tommy Vext would be filling in on vocals for the remainder of the European tour. I'm glad of this new change becase Ivan Moody has grown old and he can't sing in this musical group as he done before on his adult stage, so they needed to do some changes and the most important was to renovate the singer.from Ivan Moody to Tommy Vext. They both have excellent voice for make rock songs, but Ivan is too old for keeping working as a singer, and this is why Tommy is a nice choice, right now he is younger than Ivan, so he can sing a lot of songs for many years.  https://youtu.be/LewUgNvsfWQ

My fears

Wich are my fears? Since I was a kid, I only had one fear till now. And this is are clowns. I really hate them with their make up on the face and their wig, and I can't stand in front of them because they scare me so much and I have to run away or hit them if I can't scape from them, and it was because one day I was with my best friend in a festival in Venezuela and there were some clowns doing magical tricks, but we didn't passed near them because we didn't attracted us, but there were one clown that put in front of us behind a tent and start to hit my best friend very strong and without reason, I couldn't react looking my best friend agonizing and I started to shout as strongest I can, so other clowns heared me and came to us, but they understood that  my best friend and me were hiting the clown, so they began to shout me, and I couldn't do anything because I was very scared for have six or seven clowns cornering, shouting and hitting me with their m...

Your say

The exercise for me  Since I was more younger I liked to do sports or exercise with my friends because is bored do it alone, but when I get older I didn't have got much time to spent to my health and fit, and my friends can do exercise and sports nearly everyday. My purpose on exercise for me is get healthy till I get more older, because I want to avoid diseases and aches when I  have to work hard. My favourite sport is beach volleyball because I remember it when I play this sport in Venezuela or in Colombia with my old best friends, but also we played this inside the sea and it is more dificult but it's more funny.

Personality Test

I'm agree with this result because I'm a very feel person to myself or other person, also I don't care to tell someone my emotion because I think people don't need how I feel, but I prefer to listen the emotion of theirself and I can perceive how they are.

My favourite animal

Imagen
My favourite animal is the monkey because when I was a child I used to play in a forest near my hometown with my two best older friends and an adult friend, and we climbed the trees with them, although they were much faster and we fell many times, sometimes I felt as if the mokeys were laughing at us for not knowing how to climb the trees. Other thing that I love of monkes is that their hair is very soft but their bodies are very hard, and often we played to fight them but without doing us harm. Even though sometimes it is very difficult to relate them because they do not know if we want to harm them or not.

Absurd fashions

Internet users upload their profiles on social networks a lot of photos and videos every day. In my opinion some of these videos or photos sometimes are very funny but there are also that makes me bored because are very painful when people try to draw attention of other internet users and do a lot of stupid things. The worst of all is when there are people who follow these users. Many of them earn their life doing this type of videos because people are watching them constantly and make them think that they do well their purpose of entertaining when many of them do not.

This new makes me knows that world will be going worser till the point when all people will have fear of yourself and I think this will happen very earlier than we expect. Obviously this is a tragedy new, but we all don't know how will be the next bad new till the end of the whole world.

Donald Trump:     - Good things:    He believes in American exceptionalism, he’s committed to education, an he demands high performance. After all, he has been know to fire anyone that doesn’t meet his high standards.          - Bad things:   People says that he is a racist man and a sexist. People knows it because there is a video showing him when he is humilliating Alicia Machado calling her Miss Piggy when she was the Miss Uneverse of 1996, this sign shows that he is not a polite man with other people, and maybe a bad president. Hillary Clinton:    -  Good things:   She has a lot of female points of view but she also respect the male points of view, so this strong point makes her a loved president for amrecian people. Also people wants her for president because she says she will change the "Climate change" trying to clean the pollution and use a clean energy.   -  Bad things:   ...

Should we worry about pollution?

Imagen
When I am behind of a car I hate when it throws out all the smoke of the combusitble and  I have to breathe all of it, that's why I am worryed about pollution because we don't know worst thing it can do to the whole world and for our bodies. I want to live in a cleaner air and for the other people too because of pollution we live much less time than we could live and with a worse quality of life. The governments have thought many solutions but in the end they do not act or a little. I think that if people stop using cars or other vehicles without a real reason and use more the bike or walk more, our health improve much more and we would live longer.

Visit to Italy

I went to Italy with my old brother on 1st December for visit an exhibition of most popular food near of Milano and in the city too, and our customer called us for sponsor the cheese that we make and I was on a gigantic local with a lot of types of food and cheese too. My experiences were very nice because I meet a lot of people and a lot of them didn't believe that we only work my brother, my father and me, and some of them present to me some candys from Italy as recompense of our hard work. After these two days my old sister and my uncles with my young cousins came on saturday and I spent my holidays strolling around the villages and I did a lot of friends because during the days I asked for a translator of spanish-italian in the libray and I did a lot of jokes with the sentences of the book.

Central Intelligence: (Espía y medio)     It's a story of a boy whose got bullying  when he was a student, but 20 years later he becames a very important man for the society and the classmate of his generation. This film is perfect to watch with not many friends because you can say your opinion during the movie. At the years of 90 Robie Wheirdicht was a vicitm of bullying and he was showed naked by Trevor Olson while Calvin Joyne was rewarded for his excellent marks. 20 years later Calvin Joyne get married with Maggie Joyner, however, he is bored of his life for his routine and he misses his glorious days as a student. Robbie Wheirdicht returns to the city as Bob Stone for ask for help of a big problem with a secret agency without know they will meet again Trevor Olson. My favourite scene of this film is when Bob Stone is a married counselor and he is talking with Calvin Joyne and Maggie Joyner of theyr problems, but the joke is that Maggie didn't meet Bob...
