Free time activities

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to talk about some activities that a I do in my free time. Well, to be honest, lately I don't have enough free time, due to the end of the semester. The last weeks have been very busy, but when I got plenty of time, I like to spent time with my friends, specially talking a lot. I like to hear their stories and have a long walking either on the beach or in downtown. I really like to read some novels too. As I said before, I don't have enough time right now, so I don't have read a lot lately, but I usually do it, almost every day on vacations. I like the magic realism genre, in novels like "Like Water for Chocolate" or "One Hundred Years of Solitude". I like to read on my bedroom, but lately I have been thinking of read someday maybe in a park, sited in the grass, looking the people passing by. Maybe it would be a nice new way to spend free time, and it could be even nicer with a special person. I like to read because it relaxes me, especially when I do it with some soft music. I really like music too, I like to know new songs and learn them, even if I don't have a good voice to sing hahaha. 

Well, this is the last entry on this blog. Hope to see you soon guys! :D

A funny app

Hello everyone! Today I’m going to talk about one of my favorite app, “GuessUp”. It’s a game in which you must guess specific stuff in different categories, like famous people, movie, music, animals, countries, jobs, art, geography, sports, among many others subjects, while your partners give clues to you or makes some mime to help you to figure it out the correct answer.  I discovered this app in a party with school friends. We were so bored and one of them shows the game to us, and we had a very good time. It is fun to play it, either with friends or family. I don’t really use it often, since it’s useful just at parties or in a long waiting. I used it for the last time the last Saturday, in a friend’s house. We were working, and then we start to with some drinks. A couple of hours later, we were a little drunk and playing with "GuessUp" we laughed a lot. Shortly after we went to sleep hahaha. Well, I recommend it a lot. When you get bored, it could help you to spend a good time with your friends. 

Well... Maybe you could think that there are plenty of more interesting apps, but right now, I don't have enough memory on my cell phone. So, I don't spend a lot of time on apps. What about your favorite app?

About today's activities

I’ve been doing the activities that teacher sent to us to practice some reading, listening and vocabulary. I think that I did the activities very quickly; maybe they’re too short. But, it helps to keep us on training a second language heading for the test that is coming soon next month.

Ambitions of mine

Hello everyone! Today I’m going to talk about my personal ambitions. Well, to be honest, I don’t care too much for money, but it still necessary to have a relatively “good life”, so I would like to reach a good job in the future, that brings enough money to me, but as I always say, I think that I won’t need luxuries.  I would like to do visit Machu Picchu, because I’m deeply in love with the Andean cultures of America, so I want to visit that one and another archaeologist and historical sites. So, maybe consider this, I should start to save some money, for go on this trip on the next summer.

In the short place, I want and need to pass every exam, especially since today that I’m start to think that I’m going to be a little stressed in the following weeks. And, well, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, but I would like to start at gym soon. Honestly, I’ve been saying that for a couple of months, but at the end, nothing happened. I think that it could help me to be healthier and to clear my mind too. Like the teacher’s said on her blog, and as my mother said to me, there is nothing like peace of mind, because it helps to feeling relaxed and with your life in control. Well, it would seem to be a little easy or not so important, but, at last, I think that’s all. It’s like a point from which you could start to achieve your ambitions.  

Best birthday celebration

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to talk about the best birthday party that I ever had, or that I remember, at least. It was my 12th birthday. and it was celebrated on my grandmother's house, because I lived with my family in a small department, so we don't had enough space for all the guests. It started about 6:00 pm, and since my birthday is on october 30th, I decided to celebrate it the next day, in Halloween evening. It was a costumes party, so most of my friends attended like that. I remember that I invited just my friends of the condominium that used to live near me and a couple of cousins, but not to my school's friends or more family. I really don't know why hahaha, but maybe becuase it could be a lot of people. Well, with my parents we decorated the hall and the backyard with some ghostly decoration some pumpkins and related Halloween stuff. Once my friends arrived, I remember that we went to the park in front of my grandmother's house, and there we played some games and laugh. Maybe the best part of the night was when we decided to go for some trick-or-treat in the neighbourhood, so we had a very nice time, walking in the streets, along with my parents of course, and picking up some candies. Later, when the party was over, I remember that a couple of friends attend to my house, and we watched some movies late at night. I think that this was one of my last birthday parties with a lot of guest, because later I prefer the small reunions with just few people. Do you remember a special birthday party that you had? 

I really love food

Yes, I really love food hahaha. And I think that everyone does it. How can I start? Well, I think that I prefer sweet than salty, by far. I love to taste a good chocolate. And, of course, my weakness are the cookies, I love almost every kind of biscuits. Are esential in my diet hahaha. My favourite cake it's a chocolate one, that I usually eat at a pizza place, it's a little funny that I prefer their cake than their pizza. Well, I like it too haha. Lately I try different cheesecakes, and I really like it. I would like to prepare one soon, maybe this weekend I would try. I don't like meat in general, but I can't see myself as a vegetarian guy, because I like fish. I used to say that I would eat fish everyday and won't get bored. And another of my weakness are french fries, chinese food and some sandwich. Now I'm getting hungry hahaha. Well, maybe you are thinking that I'm a pig haha but I like to balance it with healthier food. I really like salads, with a lot of abocado on it. I like some fruits mix, and the quinoa instead of rice. At the same time, I try to do some exercise as often as I could, so when I eat a lot of things, I don't feel so guilty.
