Something New
As all bloger there comes a time when you run out of ideas, and that time has arrived for me. I have been bloging on Places and Cultures around the world, but I came to the point where I couldn’t find a place or culture to blog about, I simply ran out of ideas. Today is Thursday, April 23, and I just got the news that in about two weeks I will be starting school at 7 o’clock, which in my opinion is not good, because for me a good night sleep is the key for an active an productive morning, and well, going in at 7 means sleeping one hour less. Even though my house is not that far away form school, it is actually really close, I would have to wake up really early, at about 6 because, I take a long time to get ready. I have to admit not sleeping much makes my cranky, and no one likes cranky people. So I have to say, I discard the idea of getting in at 7. I have to confess: I still take naps, often when I go home after school, I eat lunch and sleep, even though it is just half an hour it is something, I LOVE to sleep. With this new schedule we would be getting out at two o’clock and this means longer nap time! Wuhu!!! Also getting out at 2 would give me more time to do home work, and, or I have to admit have more free time. As all things a new schedule has it’s pros and it’s cons. I am really happy because I am thrilled to see that there is only 35 more school days left to until school is over, then after that we start a whole new time period in are life, we will be moving up, to a whole new sector in the school; high school. I personally am excited but as well very nervous. We will leave remarkable marks in the Middle School, for the wonderful generation we have been, but now it’s time for us to move un and settle into High School. We change, mature, grow, and now I feel we are ready to move un as a whole grade and take the challenge of High School. We are a very united generation and I hope it stays the same, thought the rest of our school years. I want to thank everyone for a wonderful year, all the teachers, and students, I have had some much fun, and I am delighted to see that I will be moving about, and passing another time of my life with you guys. Thank You very much, and I hope to see you all next year in High School.
Miami
Miami is a very wonderful place. It has beautiful beaches, delicious restaurants and obviously great shopping malls. Within Miami there are a vast variety of activities to choose from. They range form going to the beach, shopping, or simply just relaxing. I love going to Miami, because I do different thing there, but my all time favorite is obviously SHOPING!! I go to Miami a lot because, well my family loves the spot, and when I arrive there, I sleep plenty, but I also have the option to socialize because due to all the years I’ve gone I already have some friends. Miami is often for me not as relaxing because, when we go I see many friends and family, and in Miami you reconnect with people you know from all over. Generally for me in Miami going to the mall is a weakly or some times even a daily thing. In the mall I shop, go to the movies, or just simply eat from the stupendous food choice. The closest mall to me and the best one, I believe is Aventura mall. Like here, in the mall you se many people, I mostly find family, but sometimes I also find my friends and that’s great. In Miami I love spending time with my sister, because we have so much fun having movie nights, shopping, eating, and talking about life. I love my sister and in Miami I have a wonderful time partly and mostly because of her. I cannot conclude this entry any other way than saying that I love Miami. For al you shopping fans I recommend you to go to Miami.
Israel
There are many places, which are special to me, but one of the most important is the country of Israel. As many of you might know I’m Jewish, and because of this I feel a more evident love for this country. I love this country as much as, my home land. Israel is a very beautiful place; it is full of nice people, gorgeous music, delicious food, and remarkable religious places. One of the main reasons why I love this country so much is because my grandparents are buried there on the Mount of Olive in Jerusalem the capital of the country. I feel so close to this nation because I know that one day if am stranded away from any other country, Israel will accept me for the simple fact that I am Jewish. This is the place were I feel closest to G-d, because there is not a land that is more sacred to the Jews than Israel! Despite the long distance between here and Israel, I tremendously enjoy going to visit this country, and no matter what I do there I never miss going to the Cotel, or in other words the Wailing Wall. In Israel I enjoy spending my time with my friends especially Liran, the daughter of my moms childhood friend. In Israel I not only enjoy going to the religious places but also relaxing in the beach, chilling with my family, and having a really fun time. I can not conclude anything else from except that it is a very special country which I will always keep close in my heart.
As you may not know I am partly Filipina. My mom was born and raised in Manila, the capital of the country. I have gone various times and every time more I see the wonderful country it is. Even once my family and I went to live to the Philippines for a quarter. Those days were one of my most wonderful I have had. Even though I was young, only about five or six, I brought with me a thousand memories, which can’t be changed. The country has improved drastically since the first time I went. The pollution problem as well as the poverty, one has gotten better, but I will clarify one thing it still needs improvement. The Philippines is a country which has beautiful beaches, and incredible natural areas. One of the best moments I have had are those in the Beach of Maya Maya, in my Aunts beach house. I can remember going out every morning, getting dressed, having breakfast in the yard, and getting a cool refreshing bath in the Ocean. This beach is on of the most beautiful ones I have seen, it has pure, white sand and clear, blue water. These moments are not reversible. Like these I have had many some in the Polo Club with my cousins Miriam, Katie Erica, Daniela, and Jessica. Also the ones in Bagio, when we all went out in the rain, shoot our new bows and arrows, and also rode horses around the town, what a vacation we had. I was delighted to come back this past December, because I hadn’t gone in about three years. I saw my family once again and that was the most exciting of all. The few days I spent with them were like heaven to me, I had so much fun. I love this country and I wish I could spend more time in it, despite the distance. This country is one which I could call my second home and I hope one day you will all get the chance to see this thrilling country which will always belong in my heart no matter where I am, no matter what happens.
Freedome of Speech
Ms. Rumford, I liked the way in which you tied up history class with Blogging. Freedom of speech is a very important right people should know about. Not only because of its benefits but also because of the restrictions it has. Freedom of speech gives us the liberty to say what we believe in a respectful, and in a unprovocative way. As a bloogger this means that basically no one can stop you from writing what you believe in moderation. In real life what you say is public but not as much as in the internet. I will put it this way if you put something in the internet you can track it down. The internet is a very public place and because of that you have to be extra careful. I believe that you as a blogger have to also go with the right of freedom of the press because you are allowed to post any information you want, but it has to be true. You as a blogger act partly as the press and partly as a regular person. As the press because you are informing others about specific topics, and publicating posts, sort of like reporting on them. As a regular person because your just doing your job to express yourself. I encourage you all to keep on blogging and now that you know about freedom of speech use it to your advantage. Always be careful because the internet is a very public place.
