Assigment Reading

Ok, so for English class we are now reading "First They Killed My Father a daughter of Cambodia remembers" the title is kind of long and sounds really sad. 
NOTE: if you have not read the book and don't want me to spoil the book for you DO NOT read this.
Before we started reading this book our teacher told us that the book is not as sad as it sounds, now I think she meant the book is sadder than it sounds and unpleasant. It is a really descriptive book that Loung the protagonist and author of the book relates her story of when the Khmer Rouge took over Phnom Penh, what happen to her family and what they had to do in order to not get killed or starve to death.
I personally find the book very unpleasant and sad because lots of her family members die and the descriptions about some things are very detailed, for example:
If Loung (protagonist) sees a rotten dead body it will be describe in a lot of detail and even smells.
But at the same time I find it very interesting since she is telling something which is true, it is a real story and it makes you realize that “wow, I could not believe through what this people have gone through” (that is what I personally think).

Grounded

It is my first time I have been grounded so badly, and why? because of my bad grades. The first quarter of the year I have taken it with a lot of laziness and I have not been doing my home work. So now every after noon I have to stay for an extra hour at school and instead of arriving at 8:15am I have to arrive at 7:35am, I can not play xbox and my dad is about to take away my Mac which makes no sense since I still have my school computer, and I also have to catch up with all of the home works i did not do plus the ones I have to do without falling back in the other works. Oh and I also have to go to swimming twice a week.

Fall Break..... is over.

I really did not do much this break apart from sleeping, watch TV, read and study so get to make my grades go up. To tell the truth even if my parents were traveling I actually did not brake the house apart (victory)... not even a plate and the best is that my sister was not as annoying as I expected (victory). But something interesting that happened to me as a video gamer is that I found the real truth of WoW (World of Warcraft), I tried the free 10 day trial because lots of friends that actually play or played it tolled me it was a very addicting game and that it was a lot of fun. So I downloaded the game from their actual website and when it finished downloading I asked for the free trial they give you, I really was very exited to play it and at first it seemed very good but then I started to get bored of it and did not find it as exiting and addicting as people said and i was able to control my self from playing it (victory).
Even if I was really bored during this fall break I really do not want to go to school tomorrow to again hear the words "so your homework will be....." but I got to face it, and I know it is going to be a word that a will hear for four years I think.

Fall BREAK!!!!!! XD


HELLO! Well right now I'm in Fall break XD, and my parents decided to take a trip for 12 days, which has been great for them, but sadly for me I had to stay with my annoying 16-year-old sister. I have to post something in my blog for my English class that has to be at least 200 words long and right now I don't even have the sliest idea of what I am going to right about. 
Well this Fall Brake has not been the best since I am really bored at my house with nothing to do because all of my friends are traveling, lets say that the last 2 vacations haven't been the best because in summer break I only had 3 weeks of vacations and one of I passed inside my fathers office, and this October has been like "Home Alone" but instead of adventurous... BORING.
So right now I don't know what I will do for the rest of this break, something must come up. 
And something I am surely doing to do is study because my grades right now are not that good, so that means I will have to read see if I can do some extra work and those kind of things to get my grades up.

I'm Happy!!!

This is so great, today my father is going on a business trip and that means that I’m going to be able to play Xbox360 but i will still have to do my homework but still.

Father in trip + 14 year old teenager + Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 = FFFUUNN

My problem is that I made a bet with my dad that was that if i didn't pass the Math Exam he wouldn’t let me play Xbox until i passed math the first term but if i did pass it he would let me play whenever i wanted (What a stupid bet from my part) obviously I lost.
Gladly my mom doesn’t take it that seriously so i will still be able to play from today till Sunday.

High School is making me crazy!!!

WOW... High School surely sends lots of homework and it barely gives me time to finish it but i think most of the fault comes from my part because i really need to learn to organize my time much better. Maybe most of the problem that i don't get to organize my time better is because when I have my computer in front of me to do the homework or even a paper with questions on it or waiting for an essay to be written, the temptation to go to facebook, msn or even a stupid game WITH NO POINT is to big. So if you had the options of doing homework or like my Ancient Civilization teacher likes to call it “Homeplay” and computer or an Xbox360 (gaming console) ready to be turned on and to play with it it’s maybe obvious that a 14 year old teenager is going to take gaming or chatting.

The Begining of the Blog with no point

Hi, I’ m a 14 years old boy; I live in Caracas, Venezuela with my parents and one older sister that is 16 years old. I consider myself tall and with big feet’s; I have yellow hair and green eyes. I am a person that likes any kind of sports but specially golf and soccer. I am very interested in traveling, meeting people and learning new things.
I am a person that is really difficult to make furious, but there things that may make me angry, for example when I see people that are unjust and ignorant. But also there are things that make me happy like being with my friends and family, traveling, driving, nature and technology.  In my preference I don’t like to write especially if I have to do it (for example this blog), I’m writing it because I have to, I am having some problems with organizing my ideas but I imagine that I will start getting better while I write more and more, and hope fully getting to like writing. The things that I like the most doing are play xbox360 (like most of the kids do), play golf, football (soccer) and snowboard, I also guess that I like to go to school to be with my friends when I’m in the mood for it.
I really don’t have a good idea or plan of what I’m going to write about in this blog but I guess good ideas will start popping out while time passes, I guess I will be writing about things that happen in my daily life and those kind of  stuff.
