Hi guys!
This weekend we are planning to go to some club in San Francisco. If someone is interested in joing us, please, let me know. I'll be at the afternoon class tomorrow. See you!

Mashed In The Moshpit!

Hi teacher!
I’m goin to tell you about my first time in a club in San Jose.
As I told you I like dancing ska music and I really miss to go dance, because in my country I used to go to some clubs every weekends.
Some week ago, my American sister asked me if I’d like to go with her and her Mexican boyfriend to a Panteon Rococo concert, a Mexican band from Mexico City that plays ska music. I was very excited and I couldn’t wait to go.
When we arrived in San Jose, after a one hour drive, we had to wait in line outside the club because it was very full of people. So when finally we came in the concert had already begun. The waiting wasn’t so bad, even if it was cold, because I could talk a lot (in both English and Spanish) with my sister’s boyfriend and I enjoyed it since it was the first time that I met him. You know when you have a new boyfriend you always need the approval of your sister…
We tried to go in the middle of the moshpit, but it was very hard and I was really scared because people were very violent. Actually it was the most violent moshpit that I had ever seen in my life! I felt bad, everybody push and pull me form a side to another of the dance floor and nobody cared if I am a woman. So I left the dance floor to enjoy the concert from a safer corner, while my sister and her boyfriend stayed into the moshpit.
I spent the rest of the evening on the side of the room waiting for my friends that came only when the concert was ended. In the meanwhile, many Mexican guys tried to talk with me and it was hard because my Spanish is not fluent and often I couldn’t understand them, even because they were a little drunk and they couldn’t speak very clearly.
After the concert they played salsa music and I tried to dance it with a friend of us, but it’s really difficult for me, so I decided to have a drink, called Adios and to wait for the end of the night.
I was a little sad because all my expectations were disappointed: I couldn’t dance, I didn’t enjoy too much the concert and I didn’t even meet some handsome guy whom dance with. Furthermore I have always thought that I was a "strong ska girl", but this experience taught me that there are many "ska girls" more "ska" than me!

Hello guys

Hiii guys!!!!

I would like to be there to say this, but I am very busy now and I couldn't go to the schoolfor a couple a weeks, because mi brother is going to get married tomorrow and my mother ishere, so, I am like the tourist guide rigth now, and she is going to be here only 3 days, so I am spending all my time with her.

It is process for carve your Jack-O-Lantern in Halloween

By
Alberto Ortega Servin

In Halloween this is process for that you make your Jack-O-Lantern. First step is. You hold a pumpkin with your hand and in the other hand you hold a knife and with it carve your pumpkin. You thought about making a face in the pumpkin. You cut the top part of the pumpkin also you take off the top of the pumpkin with your hand and you can cut inside of the pumpkin other step is when you remove the seeds and strings from inside the pumpkin until inside pumpkin is very clean of the seed and strings. Next step you made the eyes on the pumpkin. Then it is looking very funny other step is. When you are prepare for carve it and you carve a mouth and nose on the pumpkin after you lit a candle with a match. When your candle is lit and you can see candle when it is burning and it melts also you are dripping wax inside the pumpkin and you put the candle inside of the pumpkin. Next step is you replace at top of the pumpkin.
When you replace of the top of the pumpkin and you set the pumpkin in the window. When pass about the one week or more time and you get off of the pumpkin of the window or also this action is decision from everybody and you clean the scraps with a broom and dustpan.
I think so that this process is once of the more popular in the United States for that you could made your Jack-O-Lantern in Halloween. But for that you could make this process also you sow your owner pumpkin plant or you are going to buy a pumpkin in the store and in the store is more near from your house.

In My Opinion...

By
Alberto Ortega Servin

In my opinion the Mexican people only think about of their situation economic and illegal, I don’t know if this situation to passing in people other countries. Now everyone has been in your job in this country although of that we need green card, also we have come of the places very poor as our life’s to change in this country but we couldn’t forget that the Mexican politics. They are looking everyone because we are in the United States, they will need our support also per the influence in our families in Mexico because many Mexican people are experiment a new life now.
The immigrants have been coming in other country. I don’t know but the Mexican politics are coming every day to the United States with the same false promise already that they have only caused illusions in the Mexican immigrant. We could understand that the politics only they have needed our support they have been known that our lives are changing now because we have new job and more money.
I don’t know if this situation repeats in other country because in the Mexican immigrants this situation repeats every day. We have to working for our families because we couldn’t case a politician already that they have came for decades with same promise but they set up in the government so they forget of the immigrant. When they have took the position in the government they will become in rich. They forget of the immigrant. Here only we need to work for our families. We could forget the politic only they seek for influence in your families in Mexico also now we live to different in this country. Why? Because we have enough money for pay all the services and support our families.
My recommendation is that the people have been coming of other country that all people work for your dream already we can to work for our dream because we must work for our dreams if we are working every day here our dreams to realize. We can’t to forget of the politics they always say to lie before in my country happened now I don’t know.
