Extra entry #10 - English Language Challenges


The last entry of these extra entries, finally! I don't really like to write a lot about things that i'm not interested, but of this is the end, I'll do my best.

My english is the worst english you ever heard... ok not, but it's not completed. I still have some dificulties to pronounce it, because I didn't really practiced it. Also, I don't have a huge use of this language, because I didn't had read a lot of books on english, nevertheless, I have a vocabulary that allows me to express my ideas, at least basically. 

But the area where I really have problems is on listening. I can't understand very welll when I hear british english, because I'm used to listen american english, on all it's forms. Even so, I have little problems with american english speakers, because some of them doesn't pronounce it very clear, so it dificults me to understand what they're saying. Nevertheless I'm still learning and studying how to deal with it.

I expect to don't leave this english learning here. I really want to prepare myself for take the TOEFL course, because I wan't to receive a carton who certifies me that I speak english, and then to take some courses about this language and others around the world.

For this, as I see, this will not be my last entry. I supose that I will must to do another entries for the TOEFL course, and if I don't, I think that I would continue this habit for a little more time.

Extra entry #9 - Food, my favorite one


One of my guilty pleasure is the lemon pie. I love it's taste, it's texture and it's color. I had tasted a lot of these, so I can recognize a good pie. I don't remember when was the first time when I tasted it, but I imagine that there was a party at my taste buds

Also, my mom is a confectioner, so every year, at my birthday, she makes me a delicious lemon pie, and this is the best gift that anyone could give me, because it makes me really happy. I still remember that, some years ago, she made me a cake-pie. I t was a sort of giant pie, and I ate at least half of all.

I really love this kind of food, in general. Sugar is my happyness and my curse, because I allways feel good when I eat it, but I'm sure that I'll have diabetes on the future. Nevertheless I don't care, because I would die happy if I lived as I wanted, but I take some cautions for not be "excesively happy".

Soon it will be my birthday, so I expect again a lemon pie, directly to my vein hahaha. This is not the sort of gifts what you expecto to don't receive again anda again, as socks or the classic "sahne-nuss", but those gifts who you expect anxiouslly every year.

If you don't like sweets, give it a chance, because isn't just sweet, it's acid t. Now, if you don't like none of these, you would probably prefer to lick a brace hahaha. Lemon pie is love, lemon pie is life, bye!

Extra entry #8 - Video games, the other side of the life.


Well, let's start again. One of my favorite topics, at video game's industry, is RPG. This is because this kind of games immerses you completely on a new world, full of mystic and magic, most of times. That's why, one of my favorite video game's saga is Final Fantasy.

This media franchise was created by Hirnobu Sakaguchi, at 1987, and is still current. It´s first game, homonymous, had the classic topic of role games: magic, dragons, classes, a fantastic world, etc. Nevertheless, while this saga was advancing, it took a steam-punk way, but never forgetting this fantasy world.

This saga has 14 main titles, some connected between them, others not at all, but all stories shares one legend: the legend of the four crystals of light, and the four crystals of darkness. Also it has a lot of "spin-off games", based on another stories or paralel worlds, but one thing connects them all, the crystals.

I had played this franchise since ever, and I like it so much. I enjoy to immerse myself on this deep world, full of mystic and fantasy, although I don't actually have the money for buy the lastest video games console. I expect that one day I'll earn a lot of money with my super job at public administration, and then I'll buy all those game consoles for play Final Fantasy at my free time (or at job hahaha).

And you? Do you have another RPG saga which you prefers?

Extra entry #7 - Good and bad stuff



Hi again. This is a little summary of good and bad things that happened this year. I hate to write just about my staff, so I'm going to write about different events.

First, I want to talk about a great event that surprised me: a couple of friends will be parents. It surprised me, because they aren't too older than me, and they never talked so much about have a child, so when I knew it, I couldn't believe it, but I felt so happy for them, and I'm sure that I'll be happier when the little child, Helena, born.

Another big event that happened me, recently, is that I found a drummer for my band. This past, i don't know, yesterday?, or before that, so I can advance a little more on this personal project, and I can't wait for see the results of have a drummer.

Another event, not bigger but important, is that my mom started to work on the formal way again. She is an inspector at a school, and all this time she was doing it very well. With this, my little brother started to keep alone at my home, but I'm sure that it will help him to grow up.

But all isn't milk and honey. This year, at the first half, I failed a course. It was because I couldn't manage my time, so it past me the account. Also, I wasn't able to take a course, and this, for now, is delaying my graduation. Nevertheless, I still have a chance to change it.

I guess that this last is the only thing I can remark about "bad stuff" during this year. If I take a look, there are more good things than bad things, so I would affirm that this has been a good year.

Extra entry #6 - How green am I?



Hi again. I'm not  very well at recycling time, because I'm not one of those persons who cares about each detail they does. Nevertheless, I think that our planet deserves all our respect, our love and our careness, because it's our home, and nobody wants to live on a stinky and dirty home.

I'm not a really green guy, because I don't try to make our world better (I'm too lazy for that, honestly), but I don't contribute to destroy it. I don't throw garbage on the street, I don't smoke or burn toxical things, and sometimes, when I'm walking (and I'm on time), I pick up garbage on my way.

Despite this, I can't consider my self "green", because I continue using aerosol, I don't recycle, I use public transportation instead a bicycle, etc., but I think that those things are a social behavior, and is lead by the habits of each one, therefore, if we want to be the change, we need to let the social behaviors, and start to think and act by ourselves. Actually this is harder for me.

Nevertheless, my habits where changing across the time. I started, some years ago, to be careful with  electricity, water and all those exhaustible resources, because I reflected about it's shortage, and then I started to disconnect unused artifacts, turn off unused lights, turn on the heater only if it's very cold, etc.

If I could, why not you? step by step, be the change!

Extra entry #5 - My future job



I'll say it again: i don't love public administration, so I don't really want to work on this area. Nevertheless, when I have my degree, I should have a job relationed with this.

It's hard to think about a job relationed with public affairs, because there is a long list. Nevertheless, I expect to work on a municipallity, because it's easy to get a job there. I imagine myself with a desk full of papers (overdue work), and probably I would kick off my job, and start to study the only think I would like: dubbing.

Menawhile, I'll corrupt the State from the inside muahaha, and maybe I'll start a little business, managed by me, me, and... me.

I have an uncle who works on a public service, at "Servicio Médico Legal", and he haves the chance to travel a lot, but I don't know the exactly reason of that. I would like to travel like him (and get paid for it), but I don't know what is the job that could help me to accomplish it.

I'm afraid about a full paperwork job, because it's boring. Nevertheless, I'll with certainty end stamping and signing papers, hirings, resolutions, etc. But I promise to myself, every day, that one day all the world will recognize me by my voice, and not by my state's corruption.

Extra entry #4 - My favorite TV serie.



Hi there. This time i'm going to write about my favorite TV serie. I don't real watch it at TV, because it's not emitted on Occident. Maybe you already guessed what kind of serie I'm talking about, oriental series called anime.

I think I mentioned before that I enjoy anime, and one of my favorite series on this way is Code Geass. Why? Because it has an interesting story, and the main character is simply brilliant. Besides it haves a dense story, a deep social criticism, battles, psychological stories, love stories... in short, a complete storyline.

This serie was emitted during 2008, and the first time I watched it was at 2010, 4 years ago. I was at my home, on vacations (a lot of free time), and I saw this anime recommended on a web site. I gave it a chance, and then I couldn't stop. It was a 14 hours marathon, where I watched about 40 chapters. It's story completely absorbed me, and since that time I had never watched another similar anime who can compare to this.

I really recommend this serie, you'll enjoy its story a lot. That's all for today, thanks for read.
