Dumb Moments...


This one time I was in the school library looking at some books then, as usual, I got bored then went with my friends to go see some magazines. Well, while browsing through the magazines I saw what I thought was a sample of a perfume then I smelled it. My friends started laughing at me and I did not know why then I turn the page and I see that the "perfume" I smelled was of these new scented tampons!!! then me and my friends start cracking up and I realized, always check what your going to smell!

I am number Four...



A teenage fugitive with an incredible secret races to stay one step ahead of the mysterious forces seeking to track and destroy him in this sci-fi action thriller. With three dead and one on the run, the race to find the elusive Number Four begins. Outwardly normal teen John Smith never gets too comfortable in the same identity, and along with his guardian, Henri, he is constantly moving from town to town -- the perpetual new kid in a series of strangely familiar schools. Despite the fact that his nomadic lifestyle has made it difficult to form meaningful connections, John experiences the joy of first love with a beautiful young woman and begins to unlock his full potential after arriving with Henri in a small Ohio town. With each passing day, John gains a stronger grasp on his extraordinary new powers, and his bond to the beings that share his fantastic fate grows stronger.

Looks like a Forest...



This photo seems to me like a forest, so I am going to write some information of what a forest is.

Forests can be found in all regions capable of sustaining tree growth, at altitudes up to the tree line, except where natural fire frequency or other disturbance is too high, or where the environment has been altered by human activity.
Forests are differentiated from woodlands by the extent of canopy coverage: in a forest, the branches and the foliage of separate trees often meet or interlock, although there can be gaps of varying sizes within an area referred to as forest. A woodland has a more continuously open canopy, with trees spaced farther apart, which allows more sunlight to penetrate to the ground between them.

A very known Forest is the Boreal forest of Canada. The boreal forest is deeply ingrained in the Canadian identity and the images foreigners have of Canada. 

Is it the North Pole?

I think this photo belongs to the North Pole, so I am going to write a little bit of information that I have found about this place:

The northernmost point on the earth's surface is the geographic North Pole, also known as true north. It's located at 90° North latitude and all lines of longitude converge at the pole.
If you're standing at the North Pole, all points are south of you (east and west have no bearing). Since the earth's rotation takes place once every 24 hours, if you're at the North Pole your speed of rotation is quite slow at almost no speed at all, compared to the speed at the equator at about 1,038 miles per hour.

...It looks like the Canadian Rockies



The Canadian Rockies
Comprise the Canadian segment of the North American Rocky Mountains range. They are the eastern part of the Canadian Cordillera, extending from the Interior Plains of Alberta to the Rocky Mountain Trench of British Columbia. The southern end borders Idaho and Montana of the USA. The northern end is at the Liard River in northern British Columbia.

The Canadian Rockies have numerous high peaks and ranges, such as Mount Robson (3,954 metres (12,972 ft)) and Mount Columbia (3,747 metres (12,293 ft)). The Canadian Rockies are composed of shale and limestone (unlike their American cousins). Much of the range is protected by parks and a World Heritage Site.

One of My Best Friends

I think that I am very lucky because I have friends that are very special to me. Among my friends there is Julie. She is like my age altough she is older for a few months. She is from Germany and I am from Mexico. We haven´t seen each other since 2003. Even that we lost contact for so many years thanks to facebook we found each other almost 2 years ago.

Julie is very tall and slim. She has medium brown hair. She has big brown eyes, a pug nose and big mouth. She is so cute, especially when she smiles.

 She is very helpful, caring and honest. When we first met, I felt so secure around her, she was always there when I needed her. She always tried her best to help who was around. Although we nearly have the same tastes and interests, we have some different characters, I guess because We are from different countries. There is mutual trust and a perfect sympathy between us, We are very close friends but We live so far away from each other. She is also responsible and careful. I think as time goes by, our friendship will be deeper and deeper, doesn´t matter how far we are.

One of the things that she loves is traveling, she has been in so many places!!! France, USA, Spain, Mexico, and other countries. She loves Volleyball, it is her favorite sport, she is very good at it.
