Hi Paula!

Thanks for coming. The best way to get to my house is that first you have to go to the subway the name of the station is "Terminal Aerea”, be sure that you get out in the station “Olimpica”, when you get out of the subway you have to take a taxi and you tell him that he leaves you in the college “La Paz” and when you arrive there you call me and I go for you.

You must really have to visit many museums or archeology parks. Be sure to visit first the pyramids of Teotihuacan, you can go to Puebla or Queretaro, there are peaceful places,  and here in the city you can go to museums, in the center town there are a lot of places you can visit. It´s a shame that I can´t go with you because I have my exams to university and I go to courses, sorry my friend.

Obviously there are a lot of museums, whatever you do, don´t miss the museum of modern art MAM, the MUNAL, MUAC, Bellas Artes.

See you soon. Love you.

Cassandra.

Is honesty always the best policy?

Is the value of telling the truth, be decent, modest, reasonable, fair or honest. From a philosophical point of view is a human quality that is to act according as it thinks and feels. Since we are little our parents or in the school teach us different kind of values but the most important is the honesty, why? The tell us that if you want to be a better or a successful person you have to be honest always, but to tell the truth is always correct and possible?  Maybe sometimes we think that this is impossible or a few people can be honest in their entire life.

Sometimes a person that is special for you, maybe a friend, your family, a teacher, a neighbor, etc. ask you something about his appearance and you have to be delicate about your answer, you don´t want to hurt them, and you say a “white lie”. We think that in that moment is good to tell a little lie.

In other times is good to be honest maybe in a project, a person tell you any idea, and you think that is bad, so you have to tell them that you can do another thing, maybe if you do that the project  will be perfect and everyone can shine in their abilities.

I think that you have to be honest because if that person is special for you, is not correct that you  say a “white lie” in this way you hurt them anyway but they don´t know them, if you say the truth both can be better.  

Real or fake?

"Slumber party alien abdution"

It tells a story about teens (a girl with her boyfriend and her brothers and cousins or friends) and a dog that are in a house alone without adults, the house is between a lake. They are recording all the things that they are doing. On the night suddenly the light went out because there was an explosion, and they saw a person outside the house, so the boyfriend of the girl came to see out what was happening , and the mysterious man took him and the others call to the police. They saw that they were aliens and they want them, so they ran to be safe. The police arrive but suddenly the sound of the patrol disappears.  And one by one they were taken by the aliens.

Oliver´s Castle Crop Circle

The video is fake because with the technology we can do a lot of things like this, I suppose that most of the things have scientific explications, but these things no, I think that if these exists the circles work with magnets or something that have energy or charge and you can manipulate.  But don´t exist prove that show us that is real is a lie and people can cheat you. And the things that suppose are UFOs look like balloons. The quality of the video is not clear, so I think these things doesn´t exist. 

Rods

It looks like an animal, maybe like an ameba, or like a model of something about computer systems, or like a shadow of something. But is rare because only we can see in a photo or a video, and it appears quickly so I don´t have a logical answer. Maybe there are some factors that affect it could be the weather, the position, the time when you take the picture and the camera, I hope so.

 I hope that someone be honest and explain to us what are this inexplicable object. 

Movie

Despicable me 

Recently I saw “Despicable me”, a movie directed  by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud, based on an original story by Sergio Pablos. Is a 2010 American computer-animated 3D comedy film from Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment that was released on July 9, 2010 in the United States.

It tells the story about Gru, a super-villain, has his pride injured when an unknown super-villain steals the Great Pyramid of Giza. Gru decides to do better, with the assistance of Dr. Nefario, by shrinking stealing the moon, an idea based on his childhood dream of being an astronaut.  Gru and his minions steal the shrink ray from a secret base in Asia but the up-and-coming super-villain, Vector, who was also responsible for the Pyramid theft, immediately steals it from Gru.  However, he notices three orphan girls, Margo, Edith, and Agnes, are able to easily walk into the base because they are selling girl scout cookies. Gru, faking his credentials as a dentist, adopts the girls from Miss Hattie's Home for Girls, planning on using them to infiltrate Vector's base so he can get the shrink ray back.  They pass a lot of things together that makes that Gru begings to love the girls, and start a relationship father – daughters.

My main criticism of the movie is that is hilarious and is for all ages, and the story is cute but also makes you laugh, for the parents maybe the teaching remains that even if you are so busy you have to take care about your child’s, because surely you'll miss a lot of great moments with them.

If you like animated and funny films you have to see it. 

Funny history

A funny thing happened when my friends (Bere, Ariis and Lupita) and I went to the mall, we first walk maybe for 15 minutes, then we went for an ice cream, that was very delicious, and we were talking and then we saw a funny picture of an announcement of Nutrisa and we started to laugh and Lupita in a serious tone said: ¡Stop laughing that man is my dad!, and she put a sad face, and we stay like really? And she said obviously no, and we started to laugh more and one man that was behind of us said in a low voice: stupid and immature girls and we were like doesn´t care, it was totally without sense. YOLO xD

Then we went to Mixup and we saw that the group “Cañaveral” was going to give autographs, and we saw that there was a tiny audience so we started to record that we want the Jonas and then we started to dance their songs, and we said that they are the Mexican Jonas, obviously in tone of humourus.  All my friends are hilarious so always are laughing with them.

This day was absolutely great because I spend in a few hours a lot of fun. All my histories with them are always fascinating.   

Halloween

Hi Johny!

Well here in Mexico it´s a big celebration, because exist the idea that the souls of the persons that are dead return to visit to us 1^st and 2^nd of November. In my family one day before November we put the “Ofrenda” that consist that you have to put the photos of your relatives that are dead and  the things that they liked, like food, candies, beverage, cigarettes, alcohol, etc. But you have to put also water and salt for the souls of the purgatory, and maybe milk and toys for the kids.

The 1^st of November came the saints and the kids.

The 2^nd of November came the adults.

The difference about Halloween and Day of the Death are:

ü  How we receive the spirits (in E.U.A. the put the Jack O´Lantern to avoid that the souls enter to their house and they use costumes to don´t be recognized. In Mexico is the opposite.)

ü  The duration of the celebration (in E.U.A. is only one day and in México two days.)

ü  The skulls (in E.U.A. have a macabre connotation and in México have a happy connotation, like the sense of leaving.)

ü  Day of the Death is considering cultural heritage and Halloween is just an advertising celebration.

Halloween

When and where was originally celebrated?

31^st of October to celebrate the new year celtic, in Europe. (Samhain)

How has it changed through the years?

The Christians celebrate the day of the day on May 13 (Lemuria), the church change in 609 Lemuria in “All Saint´s Day”, and then they change to November 1 “All Hallows Day” after the “Samhain” day (Celtic celebration) the people star to call “All Hallows Evening” then “ The evening before all hallows evening”  and the in “Halloween “. The church also said that on November the second celebrate the “Soul´s Day” .

And where does the trick r treat tradition comes from?

In the middle ages, in Soul´s Day, the kids begging for soul cakes to honor the souls in the purgatory.

Coastal Rainforest and Wildlife Expedition

Hi!

In this expedition, I would like to see any kind of wild and exotic animals like leopards, jaguars, monkeys, birds, frogs and snakes.

I love to do exercise for that reason I´m in an excellent physically fit, and my favorite activity is swimming. When I was a little I participate in a challenge that include a lot of physical activity and one part of the challenge was that you have to cross a river swimming  fast, and I won the first place, and I realized that I live to swim.

I know Spanish, if we look at levels, I´m in intermediate level, I learn it when I was little, and my parents had to go to Mexico and my grandparents live there so I learn in an easily form. And I like to learn other languages, so is easily and interest for me.

I hope that you consider my information, because it´ll be an awesome experience. I´ll be aware of your publications.

Thanks.
