My Lucky Day
April 24th, 2008 by davidsesin
Have you ever found a bill on the floor, or get a good grade on a test you thought you failed? That is called luck. Some people may think that luck doesn’t exist, they think it is just a matter of coincidence. Well I put it this way, you may encounter with “lucky coincidences.” There can also be bad luck which is the opposite of luck. I don’t believe in bad luck, it can just be that you are having a pretty bad day. Along time ago, I had the luckiest day in my life. Many Fridays ago, I had to go to this guy’s house. I don’t really like him because he is a video game freak, and when I go to his house the only thing he want to do is play video games. Since my parents are friends with his parents I have to go to his house. Ok, before I continue with this story I will go earlier that day. In the morning when I woke up I realized it was already 6:50, and my bus comes to my house exactly at 7:00. I got out of my bed and rushed to the bathroom as fast as I could, to take a bath. Since I was really tired, half sleep, and the water was hot and steamy, I wasted 10 minutes taking a bath. I was sure that the bus already passed, but it hadn’t passed by. Quickly I rushed down stairs, and luckily there was pancakes my favorite break fast. The clock was running and the bus hadn’t passed by yet. I knew that it would pass in any minute so I crammed all the food into my mouth, and ran back to the bathroom. In the bathroom I quickly brushed my teeth, and after that sprinted to my room to get my back pack, and ran downstairs to see if the bus was their yet. Luckily it still hadn’t passed by, so I sat and waited. As I waited, I was wondering if it already passed and I was thinking it hadn’t passed yet. Well, to make this long story short, they called from the school saying that the street that leads to my house was closed. Since that street is pretty far from my house, I tried to convince my mom to let us stay home, but unfortunately she denied my proposal. She found another way to go to school. I was a bit disappointed that I had to go to school. When we got to school a flash came into my mind. I had forgotten I had a test today! I got really worried and started panicking. I knew there was no choice I had to take the test. I got to class and they gave me the test right away. I started sweating and getting more and more worried. When I saw the test I didn’t know half of the answers, but fortunately it was multiple choice so I still had a chance. I filled in the ones I was confident I knew the answers and left the rest until the end. I guessed the other half, and I was really sure I would fail. During the day I went to have lunch, but when I checked my pocket it wasn’t there. I didn’t have any money to eat and the rest of the day was mad and grumpy. My mom picked my up at school,( this is the part when we go back to the story was telling you.) I told my mom everything that happened in my day. In this point of the story I guess you are asking yourself “How is this a lucky day?” You will see how my day turned around and resulted to be one of the best days of my life. My mom took me to eat at MacDonalds I was in the parking lot wondering around when I suddenly see 4 10,000 Colones bills lying on the floor!( 4 ten thousand colones bills are the same as 80$) There was nobody near the money so I decided I should take it, so I took them. My mom was surprised and went inside the restaurant and asked the people if it was theirs. Since everybody said it was their money my mom gave it back to me. We where going to the video game freak’s house when she suddenly received a call saying that the guy was really sick and I couldn’t go to his house. I leaped from happiness and I was really happy. When we got back home my cousin called saying if he could come to my house. Since he is really fun he came to my house and we had fun playing sports and other games. Finally the weekend ended and on monday they were about to give me my test. My teacher looked at me with a mean and taunting look as she gave me the test. In my head I thought ” I failed this test” I was really disappointed as I turned my test upside down to see my grade. I slowly turned it around and then I saw a 91! I was really surprised with my grade and screamed “yes!”Well, this was the luckiest day of my life and things like these don’t happen often. So do not risk your grade by not studying and guessing all the answers. I am happy I had a day like this and I hope a I get another day like this again.

Red Hot Chili Peppers
April 17th, 2008 by davidsesin
The Red Hot Chili Peppers is one of my favorite musical groups, what I like about them is that there music relaxes me. The Red Hot Chili Peppers formed in Los Angeles, California in 1983. The guys are called: vocalist Anthony Kiedes, guitarist John Frusciante, bassist Michael “flea” Balzary, and drummer Chad Smith. The genre of their music is many genres combined like rock, funk, punk rock, heavy metal, and psychedelic rock. I think that all these genres combined are really good, except for heavy metal which I dislike. Most of their songs are combined so the heavy metal is barley heard.The album I like the most is Stadium Arcadium, I like it because it brings the songs I like the most. The songs I like the most are: Danicalifornia, Snow(hey oh), Tell me baby, Specially in Michigan, and Hump the bump. What I hate is that it didn’t bring the songs Californication and Superman. The album Stadium Arcadium was released on 2006 and won a Grammy award. This means that this album is really good, it brings 2 discs because of the 28 tracks.Also what I like about there music is that their music is fast and rock, but at the same time it relaxes me. I usually hear it when I am doing homework, or just only when I want to relax. So thats why I like their music, and I really recommend you to hear it at least once.

Dodgeball: Grab Life by the Ball
April 10th, 2008 by davidsesin
Dodge Ball is a really interesting and fun sport, you always have to be active and fast. This game has 5 players in each team, to win the game you have to eliminate all the players in the other team. To eliminate them, you have to toss a ball at the opponent. Another way to eliminate a player is by catching a ball they throw at you. The only way to get the eliminated players to play again, is by catching the ball. As I said before if you catch the ball, the player that threw it is out, but also a member from your team goes back on into the game.About 3 years ago, this movie was on the theaters. I was really excited because I liked to play this game a lot. The movie Dodge Ball, was a really good movie; it had comedy and suspense. What I found really funny was Ben Stiller, usually he is the good guy in the movies, but in this movie he was the bad guy. Also his long blond hair made me laugh, because he normally has it short and black. I think that in this movie Vince Vaughn should be the bad guy, because he has a more mean and serious look. Well, the movie was also great just how it was made. It starts, with this guy called Peter Le’ Flor, he is a really irresponsible guy that owns a little gym called Average Joe’s. He is a good guy that has many friends in the gymnasium. In his gym he had not payed taxes for about 13 years, later on they warned him that he owed 50 thousand dollars. If he didn’t pay they would force him out of the place. His friends start thinking of a way to pay the fines, they tried in some fund raisers, but they were use less. A friend had the idea of playing in a Dodge Ball tournament all the way in Las Vegas, and the grand price was 50,000 dollars. They trained Dodge Ball for some time, but they were still really bad. To get in the tournament they had to beat these girl scouts who wanted to get in the tournament too. The girls won, but the judges found that one of the girls was using hormones, so they eliminated the girl scouts. Average’s Joe team went to Las Vegas, but they saw the owner of Globo Gym. The owner of Globo Gym, who was called White was participating with really good players. He was participating so Average’s Joe gym couldn’t get the money to win the tournament. During the tournament Average Joe’s gym and Globo Gym win all the games, and they both go to the final. The night before the game, White bribes Peter by paying him 100,000 dollars. The deal was to give away his gym.The day of the big game, Peter’s friends were ready to play, but they didn’t have enough players. Right before the referee called Globo Gym the as the winner, Peter came to the game. They have a really hard game, but at last Average Joe’s gym wins by sudden death. White tells everybody about the deal they had last night, but right after that some guys of a casino come and deliver 5 million dollars. The night before that Peter bet the 100,000 dollars on his team. So at the end he buys White’s Gym and he resolves all the billing problems he had before. I think this movie was great, really funny, and entertaining.

Freedom!
April 3rd, 2008 by davidsesin
What does freedom mean to you? How does this relate to you as a blogger?For me freedom means many things. First, it can be freedom of speech, which means that you have the right to say what you think. In addition, freedom of speech means hat you have to express your ideas by writing them or saying them. Freedom can also mean that you are free as a person, this means that nobody owns you, or you do not have to do what somebody tells you to. Unless they are paying you to work, or you are in school. Freedom doesn’t apply just to you as a person. Freedom also applies to whole nations, the United States was based on freedom. In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote that they wanted to be a separate country and be free. What he meant by this was, no more unfair taxes, quartering soldiers, and all the other unfair acts made by King George and the British soldiers. So pretty much, this is what freedom means to me and to some other people too.I think that freedom relates to me as a blogger because when you write, you can express your feelings and your thoughts. I think that the administrators of edublogs must respect people thoughts, as long as the writer doesn’t put any threat or uses fowl language. I think that this also relates to me as a blogger, because these blogs are designed for people to express there feelings and write what they think. Freedom also relates to edublogs, because this is like a public diary. People express their feelings and write for other people to read and comment on them.Freedom is a right that must be respected, by people from all over the world. This was a really interesting topic to write about, and it make me think deeply on the word freedom.
