TODAY

I felt tired today because I couldn't sleep well yesterday at night. After school I planed to go home and sleep a little bit, but I couldn't. I have to go work right now and don't feel like I want to go. I look outside and it looks like I want to stay at home watching TV. I hope in the work won't be busy. Well that all I did today..boring right..?? take care everyone.. ;)

Almost Finishing classes

We have only less than two weeks to end this semester. It's little emotional and excited. Also, it could be sad because most of us probably will not going to stay in touch again and I will miss them. It is excited because we are going to move forward to the next level, I hope so. I like to thank especially to our teacher because she is doing absolutely a good job. Soffer is a great teacher.

Visinting to my Family

Yesterday was a cool and surprising day. I went to visit my aunt and cousins in Brooklyn. When I was entering, I saw my uncle. We lunched in the house and we were having a good time. Also, everybody was talking if someone else is going to Ecuador. In my country in June we are going to have a big party. It is a 15th party of a cousin. After to visit to my aunt, I also wanted to visit to my goddaughter. I was on my way, but a could find parking. I was surrounding about 5 block, but I didn't find one. More than a month I haven't seen my goddaughter. She is going to kill me if she knows that I didn't visit to her. So I decided to go back home and relax. It was a great day with my aunt and uncle.

Friends

Today I saw some of my friends at school. We all went to eat lunch, and we were remembering that times we were all together. We all went to the same high school and we were in the same ESL classes. It was really fun. We used to make parties of our birthdays. We used to dance a lot. Also we used to bring food from our countries. We have the same age. Now some of them are just working and others studying. I was great to see my old friends and we had nice day.

Party Time

The party was so great. I met a couple of friends and my friend's family. I went to my friend's b-day on Saturday after work. I was lucky that day because I left early and I wasn't so tired. Everybody was dancing, drinking and laughing. It was a great night. I planed to go back home around 3 o 4 am, but I drank a little bit. I decide to stay that night in my friend's house. I didn't slept that day. I went to my house at 12:00 pm on Sunday, but don't worry guys. My mom knew about it, so she didn't get mad. On Sunday I wanted to sleep, but I just slept two hours. But the important thing was that I had fun in the party. ;)

Doing Something

Today I drove a 2007 Nissan Navigator. That's my aunt's car. It's a great car and smooth to drive it. I sometimes go on the the right sit, but today I got to drive because my aunt needed another driver. She rented another car because she is planning to go to Florida. Because she had to drive the car rented, I had to drive her car. When I was getting in her car she said "please take care my car". I said "don't worry, I'm a good driver". After that the car arrived totally intact. However, at night I went to the mall to buy something to a friend. His birthday is on Saturday and I'm planing to go to the party after work. That was my day..

Nothing to Do

Today was an uninteresting day. I went to the mall of my town and I just walked around. I was in the mall for a couple of hours. Then I came back home to do my homework. After do my homework I listened to music. I was chatting with some friends on internet for an hour. Then I watched a movie "Transporter 2" and that was all I did. That's why today I didn't write more than the other journals.

Bad day at Work

On Saturday 12th I worked in the restaurant. I was bored from the beginning because the first hours were not a lot of people. After a couple of hours a lot of the people started coming in the restaurant like every weekend. That day I didn't feel good, I don't know why. That day was a party in the restaurant. I always have to take the empty plates. I had like five plates on my right hand and with my left hand I tried to get two plates more. I don't know what happened but I lost the balance on my right hand. You can imagine what happened, but almost dropped five plates on the floor. A co-worker was behind me and he saved the plates. He was in the right place, in the right hour. It was almost a tragic day for me, but nothing bad happened.

Talking to a Friend

Today a was talking to a friend who lives in Brooklyn. It's not talking, but we have a conversation by messages. We started asking for each other bout our lives. A conversation came out about our little cousins. We talk about our cousins' attitude. When they sometimes scream without reason we don't like that. We don't know, but it freak us out. Also, they start crying and screaming when they want something (toy or candies) on the streets. However, we thought about our nice cousins. Those who are more relaxed on the streets and at home. We like those cosine because we can go any place. We can buy toys to them because of their good attitude.
We couldn't finish the conversation because she had to go to classes...sorry..

My Mistake

I will tell you about what i did bad on my first day in the job. I work at the restaurant like a busboy. I always have to check every single table, looking at if i have to fill up the glasses with water. Sometimes the customers order other kinds of drink, but in different kind of glass. I was looking at the glasses and I found one glass almost empty. I took the glass, so I filled the glass up with water. When I did my job, the Sr. on the table said " no, no, " it was wine. "Oh my God" I said and I apologized for what I did. But any ways it was a little bit of wine with water. I had to bring another glass of wine. That was my first mistake in my first day of my job, but I learn of my mistakes. Now I check very carefully what kind of glass is and what is in it.

I Got a Job

On Friday 4th I was going to home after classes and I received a call from a friend. My friend works at a Italian restaurant. He told that they need a boss boy and if I can go for the interview. I went to that restaurant and the owner's wife received me. So she asked me if a I have any experience on it. Honestly I said no. She said it's fine and she asked if I would start right now. I said of curse,but I had to come back home to change of clothes. After a while I started working. The co-workers helped me and the gave me instructions. My co-workers told me how to set up a table, where are the utensils and how to do the things inside the restaurant. I will be working just Fridays and Saturdays from 5pm to 12pm. ;)

Licciano Pizzichini

Have you seen this kid before?? His name is Lucciano Pizzichini and he is only 7 years old. I saw him the last year on a TV show. Today I looking videos on you tube and found him on it. I decided to show you. I think think this kid is good with the guitar, he is amazing. Really cool that he doesn't even look at the guitar and he play it well. I think on his 15 years old he would be the best of the best. Unbelievable! he is a guitar master. I'm sure that he was born with the guitar. What do you think about this kid?

Friday, March 29th

This weekend I had a little fun with some friends. I went to a mall with them to eat and walk in around to see what is new. After have fun at the mall we went to bowling. I haven’t gone bowling for a while. I started good playing bowling. It’s was a good game and everybody had fun and enjoyed bowling. Also, we went to a bar at that night. Then, no so late each friend went back to home. This weekend was good and fun.

Boring Day

Today wasn't interesting enough. I woke up at 9:00 am and after a while I drank a cup of coffee. Then I took a shower after the sweet, hot and a great cup vanilla coffee. At 10:00 am I started putting in order my room and watching TV. Also, I decided to go on internet for few minutes to check my e-mail. However, afternoon I had to go to the bank to do some businesses. I was starving and I decided to go to eat something. I went walking to a Dominican Food. After eat I came back walking to my home. I arrived at home and I just thought to listen to music. At six o'clock I had to go to the Massapequa Mall. I went there to pick my contact glasses up. That was my day today... ;]

Music

I love the music because it distresses and it keeps you away from the problems. Also, I love to dance Hip-Hop,R&B, Bachata, Merengue, Salsa and Reggaeton. Bachata is what I like most of them. I like this kind of music because I can dance slowly and sometimes fast. It depends of the music. The Bachata I can dance so closely with the partner; like this the Bachata will be easier to learn if you don’t know how to dance. However, the steps are very easy. Also, the Bachata is romantic and the lyrics talk about the real life like the other kinds of music, but these lyrics touch more than the others in our feelings. When I start to dance bachata I feel good and when I dance I forget the problem. Dancing is very entertaining and it is healthful too. I love dancing bachata and I keep in movement with it.

Sleep Deprivation

Sleep Deprivation is a problem for the lifestyle. Sleep enough is good to feel alert during the day specially afternoons. It might cause difficulties in work because people accumulate hours of sleep. People carry their job at home and sometimes because of their children, parents have problems to sleep. Also, excessive worry or depression can affect anyone at any age. Some people become depressed because of a death of someone loved. however the medicine can be a problem to sleep, but it depends of how the medicine take effects in our bodies.
Most adults must sleep at least 7 to 8 hours per night and have good dreams. Anybody might be involved with sleep deprivation and we just have to sleep good enough.

CARNIVAL

Carnival in Ambata - Ecuador is celebrated in February or March. It is every years on Ash Wednesday. In Ecuador has a funny way and unique way of celebrating the carnival. The people celebrate it throwing water balloons, bags filled with flour, water weapon and things to make other look messy. Many people don't like it, but children and teenagers love it. The water weapons an balloons are sold all over the country before and during the carnival. The tourists prefer to go to Ambato where the carnival is celebrated with colorful parades, instead of throwing water. This event is for all ages and it is great to have fun with your family and friends. The people can enjoy it each year.

March 13th, 2008

We finished the first half of the ELI semester and today was an interesting day with Elaine Soffer. She is a nice teacher and she will be whole the another half of semester. In the class we did some activities like: presentations, questions and other things. With the presentation we knew who knew of each other. Everyone was talking of our personality and see how much we know of each other in the class. It was a pretty good activity and funny, too. The questions was about to ask the teacher. All the class could ask Elaine about her life or about her job. These activity was interesting and now we know a little bit more of our teacher. I do have fun in the first day with Elaine and I hope still have it every single day until the classes are over.
