This is Me

Christmas is coming!!!

2008-11-18T15:15:00.000-08:00

I hope you guys are psyched as I am, Christmas is coming! Time to relax with the family, warm with that special somebody and have some fun. Gifts and candy canes galore, bells ringing, Santa is giving, and we all are smiling. People you know what happens after all the joy, TAXES!!
The holiday season ends with a dynamic punch to the face. I sure feel sorry for all the adults who have to go through this as for me I consider myself an adolescent. Time for me to get presents like a GPS system and other cool stuff bye! Wait! I have to buy gifts as well, NOOOOOOO!!!!

The Power of Love

2008-11-09T07:07:00.000-08:00

I have been in live before, so i know how it feels like when you stare at her eyes and feel a tingling sensation run down your spine. I have done alot of things for her that I would not normally do to anybody. Such a generosity that I thought never existed in me. I took her out to Miami Beach restaurants, I offered her anything that she wanted. I was in love, unfortunately. I decided that I will never love again after this, I do not want to fall in love for a long time. Point is that love makes you do extraordinary things that amazes you and then leaves you wondering why did I do that. Love is an awful and yet wonderful emotion that everyone is bound to encounter.

Our Next Topic: Romance

2008-11-01T14:26:00.000-07:00

This topic is very interesting because everyone has their own way of being romantic. Well, romance is obviously associated to love, but not the type of love that you share with a family member, it is a burning passion inside of you that makes you want to be with that person.
People havetheir own perspectives upon this topic and I would like to here them.

Working Towards a Goal

2008-10-25T17:03:00.000-07:00

If you have not been reading my blogs or ignoring the headlines, then you probably did not know that I work in Armani. I have nothing to work for though except for a brand new car! I told my dad about the idea and he saids that it is good that I am working towards a dream, I love the old man! He saids I have to put a good down payment ,so I am going to save $5,000 dollars, plus sell my Mitsubishi Eclipse 2008, back to dealership and they will give about $20,000 or more for it. That is a great down payment, for my brand new Porsche Cayman! I am so happy! Thanks dad your the best!

My Ambition

2008-10-21T12:11:00.000-07:00

People may say that ambitious people are bad others say that there is a good and bad side to it, but to me it is nothing thought of moving forward in life. I am ambitious, I stress to make myself reach perfection. People ask me, how will you now when you reach it? Well it is a sensory unit, when it comes I will feel it. This is me, whenever I see someone who has something better than me, there is like a force that pushes me, mentally and physically, to surpass him. In my mind that particular person turns into my rival and once I have passed him, I have defeated him. I can't get satisfied until that feeling,I have mentioned before, comes to me. My dreams are based in achieving perfection, my family has raised me to be who I am, I have a goal to reach and I have this whole lifetime to reach it. My dad and mom may be living good now, my uncle has alot of moneyand what not, but I want to pass them, I want to pass them all. This is just part of me though, don't take this the wrong way, I also have a very good nature with people because I like socializing and going out and having fun.

Traditional Foods

2008-10-14T15:05:00.000-07:00

Every year, my family and I get together for a reunion. It is great seeing everybody together, but I think we all know why we are here, so we can devour that delicious ceviche.
I think this is the reason why we get up in the morning and drag ourselves to grandma's house, because we want to eat, but not eat just anything, we want to eat some Ceviche. Just in case you are wondering what ceviche is it is raw fish in a pool of a spicy and tangy juice that makes your lips sizzle. We make a huge variety of foods because one can't simply get filled up with an appetizer.

Sometimes I bring my friends over, they eat, and automatically fall in love with the dish. We love sharing our culture with our guests because Peruvians have great pride in their foods. My friends have just now learned how to eat peruvian, but that is not all that they learn. There is variety of Peruvian foods and they learn how to eat them, know from which part of Peru the dish is from, and who can cook better! It is a whole lot of fun sharing you culture and it gets better when your friends enjoy it.

What makes our foods traditional is that it brings us together as a family because we are all there together enjoying it. We all have work and are real busy most of the year, so this day is really special. We may have eaten these foods before but it is not the same as the ones served on that day because we are all here as a family eating together. Love, unity, and great food is what makes this tradition stand out form the rest.

Visit me in Armani!!!!!

2008-10-13T14:48:00.001-07:00

I know that before I said that I'm not looking for a job but this is an exception. I get free clothes every time a new season comes out which is about 3 months. I also receive store credits, they give you a card and you get all the clothes you like. Pay is also great, I get eight dollars plus commission. Whenever anyone of you guys come to Dadeland be sure to visit Armani and I might just let you walk away with nice clothes.(For a small price though).

The Research

2008-10-10T14:54:00.000-07:00

This is a shout out to my fellow students who dislike doing researches. I am so bored, but what can you do, I really want a good grade so I am always doing my best. The essay sounds tough, but remember it's just an essay. I only hope that this is our ONLY one!

Requirements of Love

2008-10-07T05:46:00.000-07:00

I chose to write about this topic because my girlfriend and I were arguing about it one day. She told me that in order to hold a relationship there has to be some sexual intercourse. The other belief that she had was that once you had sex with that person, he/she will want more and expect more to happen next time. I believe that love could happen even without sex because love is a very powerful emotion and when you are in love it is like nothing else matters. I could still agree with my girlfriend though, in Miami there are a lot of people who get into a relationship for lustful reasons. Everyone has different thoughts about it though, so comment on what you think is a requirement of love

My Nightlife Community

2008-10-02T06:18:00.000-07:00

I have a community that I spent most of my time with because everyone has the same goal, to have alot of fun. My community is centered in nightlife, where all you find is excitement, great music and beautiful people. Whenever I go out with my friends I always have a good time, even though sometimes plans don't work out the way we expected. The music is the most important element that we need when we go out. It sets the mood and gets the nightlife rolling. We mostly listen to electronica genres, such as; electro, house, techno, and tribal. Sometimes we even listen to rap and start going gangster. The atmosphere is always good because you are hanging out with your friends and having a good time. This is my community and if you are curious to experience this community then just ask me, so we can all go party together!!!!

Hispanic and what it means to me

2008-09-30T12:45:00.000-07:00

The race, better yet, the culture which is called Hispanic, to me is all about our background and language. This is how people recognize us and what joins us together. There are a multiple of colors beneath the list of hispanics, but should we take this to account. Even though one hispanic may be black should he be recognized under that category when he doesn't know english or that english is his second language. Hispanics are those who were born or who are a descendant to those who were born in South America and Spain. Now, when we are mixed it is a totally different story, where it is up to the person and by the community to decide where that person belongs.

Community- Friends or Foes

2008-09-26T16:50:00.000-07:00

Communities are those people who exist in your life, like the group you hang out with, the clubs you are joined with, or your friends you always meet at school. Every time you have a problem you run too them for advice and sympathy, but is that advice helpful or hurtful.
Yes, even though our community always has our back, sometimes it backfires on us. They might just lie to get you to shut up about something you whine about, for example, if you are corpulent and want to lose weight and your friend just says that your fine the way you are that you shouldn't care of what others think. Others may promote another idea, the much faster, but unhealthy way. Even though community may be pretty bad, at times it is good. They always get you feeling better about yourself and your actions. They support you in anything you do and try to help whenever you have a problem. They make you feel like you belong. When it comes right down to it communities aren't bad or good, more on the neutral side, so take some advice but think twice about it.

The Exception----is getting interesting!

2008-09-18T06:07:00.000-07:00

At first I thought this book would not catch my attention, but everytime I pick up the book, I get sucked into it. Pondering of the next action these ladies will take and how their psychological problems are affecting them as much as the e-mail did. Each of the ladies has their own personality trait, identity, and it is interesting to see how each one reacts to a problem. Each take it more serious than others. The Exception is a very good book and now I feel like reading, so BYE!

Identity

2008-09-15T17:18:00.000-07:00

Identity is basically who you are, what makes you you. It could be categorized by ethnicity, gender, culture, and all sorts of backgrounds. It is your individuality and that is very important in today's life. Everyone has something that make him/her unique and everyone should be proud to express it. People tend to be stereotypical, but those people are just ignorant because even though a group of people are from the same race, does not mean they think the same way. It is interesting to observe and interact with other people because they are sharing their culture and you get a more vivid view of their identity.

Armani Exchange

2008-09-11T12:52:00.000-07:00

I have been applying for jobs throughout the Kendall area and just before I was ready to admit defeat i nailed a job at Armani. I'am so excited about it, but I can't celebrate just yet. I still need to get pass the interview. Once I get the job I'am going to feel so relieved because I'am going to be making my own money which is a good thing....right? Just joking! Other than that my girlfriend and I are hitting it off good. We are going to a very nice restaurant next week. The book "The Exceptions" doesn't really interest me, no offense, but hey I have to finish what I started.

2008-09-09T06:40:00.000-07:00

Hello and welcome again to my blogspot! I'am writing to you today about the progress of my English class. We are now starting to write essays which is not that hard at all. This process is very familiar to me so it won't be a problem. Thanks to my English teacher's in the past, they made it possible for me to go through essay's without hesitation or strife. Other than that, Ms.Alessandri said that this was just a taste, I wonder if it will be a challenge or not.

Taking another direction, this week I found a new girlfriend and we spend alot of time together. I'm very excited about that. My dad is throwing a major party next week for my uncle so I'm looking forward to that. Also, I know I said that I'm not getting a job but, I have two interviews this week, in Armani and Banana Republic, so I'm pretty excited about that. And so taht is my weekend.

2008-09-03T09:47:00.000-07:00

My new Class

2008-08-27T00:27:00.000-07:00

Well to start off I would like to introduce myself. My name is Jonathan Barrios, my major is psychology, I'am very interested in working in that field. I'm only going to stay in Miami-Dade until I receive my Associates Degree. After studying I like to go out with my friends. I find that clubbing has become our hobby. Other than that I focus and become very responsible when the time comes. I respect others actions and suggestions and I like to listen and communicate because that is how one gets wiser. Another fact about me is that I HATE procrastinating, it really annoys me and sometimes i may get impatient. Well, this all I'm going to write and I'm looking forward to what the class has to bring. Good luck to everyone.
