Holidays and Celebrations

Teacher Doris ask us to do 3 holidays and celebrations: One personal, one local and one international. This are the topics that I choose.

Personal Celebration: My/Friends Birthday

Like I already said in my previous post, I usually go out with my mom and we have lunch on Tony Romas or another site of my election. But the most awesome part is to share it with my friends. We infact have an tradition: Since my friend The Sloth (My friends are shy, so I'm gonna call them by their nicknames) and myself have very close birthdays (2nd and 9th of February) we celebrate them togheter. We reunite in someone house (Normally on The Rabbit's House or The Weasel's House) and spent all the day there.

 This was my favorite birthday gift of this year, is a poster of my favorite actor Chris Colfer and my birthday card.

If we don't buy a cake, we make it ourselves. Then we make lunch togher (but if we are tired, we gave up and go out to buy something) and decorate the place with ballooms and posters of our favorite things. Our oldest tradition, and the most awesome of them all is that we made homemake birhtday cards, in wich we write something special for the birthday girl.

Local Celebration: Holy Week/Easter

In Venezuela, Easter is the holiest of Christian period that happens on Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. During this period, is when you live more intensely in Christianity, since in this time commemorating the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

 We playing some games

We celebrate holy week almost exactly like our birthdays, wich is kinda funny and unoriginal of ourselves. This year we made a sleep over in The Rabbit's House, we spent all the day doing a barbecue of: Chicken Skewers, Yuca, Rice, Russian Salad and Vodka. (The Sloth and myself were joking that it was a "Catholic Barbecue" because all the other girls didn't belive in eat meat.) We watched anime and played a lot of Metal Slug a very old, but awesome videogame.

The "Catholic Chicken Skewers"

International Celebration: World Cancer Day

For the international day, I didn't want to write about Christmas, so I did a little research and found this celebration, wich is very important because is something that almost no one knows about. World Cancer Day is marked on February 4 to raise awareness of cancer and to encourage its prevention, detection, and treatment. It is led by the International Union Against Cancer, a global consortium of more than 350 cancer-fighting organizations in over 100 countries.

Special Days

My favorite month of the year is February, not only because is my birthday, also because it was in february when I met my most amazing and loving friends. My birthday is on February 2nd I was born 1991 and I'm 20 years old.

My favorite day of the week is friday, because I don't have classes the next day and I can go out and come home late if I want. and my favorite day of the year is February 2nd. I usually eat whatever I want! that can be a very cold Smirnoff and an awesome birhtday cake! normaly I go out to have lunch on Tony Roma's with my mother.

Yeah,  I love traditions and especially if they are so tasty.

For my interview, Maria Fernanda was very glad to be my partner.

This is Mafe, we share the same love/obsession with Squall Leonheart

Her name's Maria Fernanda like already said, her favorite month of the year is June, because is her birthday. Her favorite day of the week is also friday, because she can rest from the university. Her favorite day of the year is her birthday on June 25th. She usually eat cake, all her family celebrates the day on her grandparents house. She was born in 1993 and righ now she is still 17 years old.

Welcome to My Blog Part II

Finally my computer is alive again, so now I can complete my homeworks, fortunately for me there isn't many yet :D

I'm the Viking/Samurai and that's my friend Andre as a Maid

What’s your name?

My name is Gabriela Cohen, my friends call me Gaby.

Where are you from?

I'm from Maracaibo, Zulia.

What school in URBE are you from?

I go to the Legal and Political Sciences; Law School in URBE.

How old are you?

I'm 20 years old.

Where do you live?

I live in Maracaibo, Valle Frio.

What do you like doing? What things do you like? Love? Enjoy?
I like to go out with my friends and do whatever we can. Like playing videogames, going to the movies or just drive around the city. I like anime and manga, a lot of american series like: House, Glee, Dexter just to name a few. I love to sleep all day, eat delicious food with my friends and rainy days.
 

What things you don’t like? Hate? Can’t stand?
I don't like too many bright colors, I don't like to exercise at all, I don't like the crowds. I hate with all my soul regeton, vallenato or bachata, I can't stand those sounds without wanting to kill myself. I hate the sun of Maracaibo and the fact that life here is becoming so expensive. I don't like to wake up early, I don't like to go to my uncle's house on sundays because they only play domino, and nothing else.

What is your dream? What do you want to do with your life?
My dream is to travel to USA and Japan, specially to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando. I want to graduate and be a very successful lawyer, I want to make my friends and family proud of my achievements.

What’s your opinion about English? Do you like it? Is it important? What do you do to study English?
I think that learning english is something very important, specially in these times. Is the one of the most spoken languages around the world, and the key of being successful person.

And now I would like to introduce all of you to one of my oldest and special friends of my life:

 In this picture he doesn't look like a very "bright" and cheerful person, and that's because he isn't.

He's name is José Zambrano, he's from Maracaibo too. He's a student from UNICA's   university and he's 26 years old, and lives on La Concepcion. 

He likes AV/Film productions, photography, videogames, board games, and musical production. He likes to draw, Listen to heavy metal music, and doing photo sesions with his camara. He hates Junkies, the Maracaibo public transport, empty persons and  turkeys.

 And he's right, who wouldn't hate this mess? Is just awfull.

For him english is a business, militar and social language and very important for anybody nowadays. He, like myself learned english empirically by listening music, reading and listening dialogues in english.

 

Random: Music recomendation Part I

I think that it would be kinda cool If I post more things, and not only my homework for the class. Because of that I want to start my "Music Recomendation" I'll post very diferents songs, meaby you guys have heard one or two.

Today I was helping two friends of mine with a project, and in the car this song started to play. Is a little bit sad, very melancholic. The piano is just beautiful and the lyrics are pretty good. Is the last song of the movie Donnie Darko wich I want to see.

 

 All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very, very
Mad world, mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me, what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very, very
Mad world, mad world, enlarging your world
Mad world

Mother's Day Poem

This is a poem for the Mother's Day wich happen to be this sunday. Because of that my teacher encourage us to try and to something special for our mothers. 

That poem and a chocolate should be enough to make her happy :D

Welcome to my Blog

Hello everybody, this is my new blog and I did it for my english class. My teacher Doris Molero ask us to give it a try, It's awesome so far.

In this blog I'll post my homework for level 2. I'll use it to practice my writing, listening and reading. All my classmates are more than welcome to look at this, my window in the net. And of course, all the people around the world.

My name is Gabriela Cohen, but my friends call me Gaby. I'm from Maracaibo, the land of plantain and domino. I live in Maracaibo, Valle Frio. I'm 20 years old and I study Law at URBE. Right now my favorite subjects are Roman's Law and English. I'm taking 5 classes and currently I'm in the 2nd Trimester.

I Love: Listening to my favorite music (almost everything from the Glee Cast, Maroon 5, and Muse. I also like JRock) playing with my Playstation 2 (I'm a proud gamer, my favorite games are Final Fantsy VIII and God of War) go out with my friends (they're like a second family to me) working on anime and manga events on my city, eating pizza, sushi and a lot of candys. I love my dog Maximo a very dumb (He likes to play with a brick) but loving German Shepherd.

 Maximo

I Hate: Cinnamon, listening to vallenato, regeton or bachata. Gettin up early everyday, hypocrisy, liars, people smoking and idiots who don't know how to drive, but they do.

My Kryptonite

My Dream: Is to graduate and become an awesome lawyer, to be able to have a beautiful home and a decent car, tavel to the US and Japan, I want a Husky wich I'm gonna call Kurt and  a peaceful life.

About English: Always have been something special to me, when I was young I had a Playstation 1 and the only game that I had was in english, so I took a dictionary and started playing. Also, I liked the Backstreet boys and Spice Girls back then, they helped me a lot. My favorite tv show back then was Friends, so I always was listening stuff in english. 

And I think that's all you need to know about me, I'm a very easy going person and very humble. I hope this blog can be of help to anybody, see ya!
