Learn How to Dance

2007-02-11T19:25:00.000-08:00

If you want to learn how to dance you need to start now. First, you should get in some dance classes. There, they will teach you a lot of moves and you will learn some different styles. Like that you will find the best style for yourself and you can decide what kind of dance you feel more comfortable with. Later you will learn more moves and then, you can go to a club or maybe dance in some friend’s party. You can’t feel shy or be afraid to step in somebody’s feet. You can dance all night, practice is the best thing you can do. Nobody is born knowing how to dance, that kind of thing takes time, practice and dedication as everything else in your life. You always can invite your friends who know how to dance. Your friends can help you a lot and you can have a lot of fun together. If you do all these things you will learn how to dance easily and quickly, and maybe you can be the next star in “Dancing with the Stars”.

5 Things that I can't live without.

2007-02-05T18:59:00.000-08:00

My teacher asked us to write about 5 things that you couldn't live without and they are:

1) GOD, without God I am nobody, I am so thankful for everthing that he gave me.
2) LOVE, nobody could live without love. I really believe that even the worst person in the word loves somebody or something. Love is the most important thing in my life.I couldn't live without love and I do not mean just love from a guy to a girl, I mean love from your family, from your friends....
3) HOPE, I couldn't live without hope. Everybody needs to have hope: hope that you can be a better person, that you can get into college, that you can have a better job, that people would stop being so selfish and hope that one day we will have a better world.
4) Toothbrush, I couldn't live without my toothbrush and I can't imagine how other people would live next to me or to another person that doesn't have a fresh mouth. Nothing is worst than somebody with a bad breath.
5) Food and water, It is obvious that nobody could live without food or water, but still some kids survive withouth enought food or water. I think that we need to appreciate that we have enought and to admit that we are blessed.

To Marry or not to Marry.

2007-02-05T18:40:00.000-08:00

I can’t decide whether or not you should get married, but I can tell you that marriage is not easy at all. It doesn’t matter if you are 18, 30, or 50 years old. Today, more and more people don’t believe in marriage and there are reasons for this.
I am sure that you shouldn’t get married if:
1) You’re not sure about your feelings for the other person
2) You don’t believe in marriage, but you want to make the other person happy (sooner or later, it’s going to make you unhappy).
3) You are not mature enough or not ready to take responsibility.
4) You just like the way the other person looks.
If you’re in love only with a person’s beauty, that’s a big mistake. A lot of marriages end because people don’t feel attracted to each other anymore. You need to love the person inside because no one is beautiful forever. Also, you can’t marry someone if you’re not ready to make decisions with another person. You can’t be selfish!
I think that everybody has their own point of view and there are a lot of people that are going to agree and disagree with me. But in marriage, nobody is right or wrong. You are the only person who can say if you are ready or not. If you really love somebody, and if you feel from the bottom of your heart that you should take a chance, then do it!

My Travels

2007-01-24T16:05:00.000-08:00

I haven't traveled a lot, but in the last few years, I had great experiences in some different areas. I have been in Rio de Janeiro, Chicago, Arizona and Sarasota-Florida.
All of these places are a little different and all have memories for me. I would like to tell a little about each one.
I was born in Manaus,Amazonas, Brazil. When I was 12, I went to my mom's hometown, a city called Fordlandia. Later, when I was a 18, I went to live in Rio de Janeiro for three long months. The city was really pretty with beautiful beaches and big shopping malls. The only bad thing about the city was the violence. I wouldn't live there even if I had the best job in the world. However, I would come back to visit at least for a few days, but no more.
After 3 months I spent in Rio, I got my visa and I went to Chicago. I really love the city. It is such a beautiful place. I can't say what I love about it the most, maybe the weather, the first snow, the squirrels, the nice houses, I don't really know. What I can say is that I learned a lot there. I had my first Halloween, I ate my first cupcake, and I learned my first English words. Maybe all that new experience made me like Chicago even more. Of course, not everything was perfect. My English was really poor, so that was a big obstacle back them. I was working with 20 Mexican girls, wich made me learn Spanish really fast,but put my English a little behind. After a while I started missing my family back in Brazil and I was okay with the idea of eating sandwiches at lunch or having just 15 minutes to eat. As you can see, nothing is perfect.
Later on, I went to Arizona. Arizonas was so pretty, really exotic. I went there just for a week so I didn't have time to see the bad things about the state. It was really hot and everybody was in good shape. The mountains were incredible and the sunsets were some of the prettiest I had even seen.
Six months later, I went to Sarasota, Florida, a really nice city. It has a lot of beach and a lot of great restaurants. Seafood is the city's speciality. You don't see a lot of young people there, but I guarantee you that you can have a wonderful time.
I still want to visit a lot of cities here and in the others countries. My next stop will be in Spain. I want to see Madrid, Barcelona, and other cities there. And of course, I promise that I wil let you know about that too.

Hello!

Hello everybody,

My name is Nice and I am from Brazil. I have been in the United States for 2 and a half years and I really like it here. In this bog I will try to let you guys know more about me, about my life and my thoughts. As most of you guys know, I just started college and I am really excitedit about it. As part of my homework for my English class, I need to access this everyday and write in English. I am not sure if i continue my blog in Portuguese too. I will ask my teacher if I can translate for my old friends, if not, maybe that will be good motivation for them to learn English too...hahahahaha
So...please be wellcome and dont be shy to leave a comment. I will see you guys soon!

Parts of me

2006-01-09T08:44:00.000-08:00

I know you well. You are a part of me. I know you better than I know myself. I know you best, better than anyone. I know you better than I know myself. You don't judge. You can't speak. You can't leave. You can't hurt me. You're just here for me to use. I know you best, better than one might think. I know you better than I know myself. It's time for you to make a sacrifice. It's time to die a little. Give it up. You are a part of me.
