TODAY/SATURDAY/SUNDAY

Hey, well I am going to tell you about my plans for today!!

I am planning on going to the movies tonight with my boyfriend and some friends. We are going to to see Paranormal activity. I am so excited because I really want to see the movie and see for myself if it's really scary. That's what everyone has been telling me so far that have seen it.
So can't for that wait. Oh also we are planning on going to JC's Pizza so we can eat. Its about 9 people who are all going so its going to be really fun.

On Saturday:
I am planing on going to a Halloween party with one of my close friends. We got invited so I think I will be doing that. Then later on I plan to go to my boyfriend's house in Woodburn and spend the rest of the night with him since I have not been spending a lot of time with him since he works.
I also plan to go trick-or-treat with my little nieces and nephews to. I bet that would be fun taking candy away from them. Hahaha. So that's pretty much it

Sunday:
I just plan to stay home and sleep. :)

FORMAL LETTER

Dear Rebekah,

I expect to have these three things accomplished from this class once I have finished in here.
I expect to improve my reading skills up to a higher level then what I had started with when I started. I pick that because when I started in your class I was at a really low level. I also want to leave this class with my writing skills improved. I have seen that they have improved a lot since I been in here. Also I expect to leave this class knowing how to understand more the poems and how to read and know what they are telling me. I struggle a lot with that but now that we have been working in class I have improved on it to. I am happy I have accomplished some of my goals in your class. I hope and believe in myself I will improve and accomplish a lot more in this class. Thank you for all the help and patience that you have had helping me out accomplishing all of them.

Sincerely,
Cristal Cervantes

The portrait!!

THE PORTRAIT:
BY STANLEY KUNITZ
This poem is about a lady who has lost her husband and can't forgive him for killing himself. I think the author wrote this poem because maybe he had known someone close or just a strange person who had gone through that story he did, or it might of happened to him but he just changed the characters around. The reason why I chose this poem is because I think it has a lot of meaning to it on the way he expresses the feelings of the people. But also I thought it was really sad on how the lady would be so affected on her husbands death. Also how she would take it out on her child to for bringing the dads memory back. I think that the poem is just good and I enjoyed it a lot.

First poem!!

My boyfriend is so tall and cool
It makes me want to dance like a fool
I love the way he makes me drool
He makes me feel just like a jewel

THIS WEEKEND!!!

I am planning to go to the movies and dancing to flamingo this weekend with my friends.
I am also going to my friends house. I might spend the night over there and hope we have lots of fun which we always do. Then probably go to the costume store to get my costume for Halloween which I am excited about. I am not so sure what I am going to be this year. I am planning on being a bunny jaja. All my friends and I are planing on dressing up this year and going to the club where we can actually be at. Well that's pretty much what I am doing this weekend. Oh I can't forget the most important one, sleep in. :)

HAIKU

"boyfriend"
I love my boyfriend
I like to spend time with him
He makes me happy

My song!!!

I would have to pick the song Comprendeme by German Montero!

The main idea: about this song is that the guy is telling his girl at the time that he does not want to be with her anymore. He is really sorry for telling her that their love story that they started has ended up in a bad way. Also he is telling her that he is writing this song to her because he wants her to know that he does not feel nothing for her. The love he had for her is all over. He asks her to forget him for all the promises he made her. He does not want to live with the gilt of being with her and not loving her. If he keeps lying to her he is afraid that he will be without a god. He also tells her that he rather see her sad for a couple of days than for him to see that for the rest of his life. I just love this song even though it's sad. The main point of this song was that the guy is breaking up with the girl and he is asking her for forgiveness that he did not mean to hurt her in anyway he just wants the best for him and her.

Why i think people write poetry!

I think that people write poetry because to them its a way of expressing the way they feel. I also think that the people that write songs and stuff is also a way for them to express them self's and share with everyone else the way they are feeling at the time they are writing the song and poetry. In my opinion I like both. I think they are interesting listening to someone else's way of thinking and expression. I love listening to music because it cheers me on and makes me feel happy at times and at other times it just gets me really sad because of the things it say's that just reminds you of the things you wanted to forget. Other than that I love music and poetry it's just a way of expressing your love life and everything on your mind. It's actually nice that the people that make it share it with everyone else who listens or reads it.

FAMILY TRADITION!!!

In my family the best holiday tradition would have to be Christmas!

I really enjoy when Christmas comes around because all my family gets together and we party all night long. Everyone calls each other and we make plans at who's house we are going to meet at. Like who's house. Usually every Christmas we always do it at my house maybe because it's bigger than everyone else's. I enjoy the great and yummy food my mom and sisters make. Everyone usually brings something made from their houses too and just make it a bigger celebration oh and lets not for get about the gifts. Our tree gets really packed in our family because there is a lot of kids and adults in my family. The thing I enjoy the most is seeing all my family united together and see my mom happy that she has all her kids and my little nieces and nephews all together as a really happy family.

My birthday this weekend!!!

Hey Rebeka,

Well i am going to tell you what I am going to do this weekend!!
I am going to turn 19 this Saturday. I am so happy. My mom and I are going to make posole and some tamales. I don't know if you have ate that food but it is really yummy. All my friends are going to come and celebrate it with me. It's funny because there are two guys that are wanting to get with me but I see them more like friends right now because I'm getting to know them a little more. Its funny because they are both going to be there and they each asked me if I had invited each of them and I had said yes and I am just worried because they seem not to get along. I think it's funny in a way. They are both caring and funny. Anyways back to my birthday plans. :0) I am going to have a butterfly cake because I love butterfly's. I also found out that Malia's birthday is the same day as mine and she is going to have a party on the 24 in Mollala and she invited me to celebrate it with her that day to. I am so excited because it's going to be a big party there is going to be four girls with me celebrating it that day. I am taking it as a big thing. I am just so excited!! =)

Place I never want to go again!

I would not want to go to the hospital, not that anyone likes to be there but that's just one place I would not like to be in again. I hate being inside a hospital because its really quiet and sad and depressing just to be in. I was there for a whole week because my uncle was really sick and it would just make me so depressed and sad just looking at all the kids and adults that where in there trying to fight for there life's. Also I hate it when you first walk in a hospital it has this really nasty smell to me such as blood mixed with medicine and a lot of other things. I know its a really nice place for the people that need to be in there but that person just would not be me.

PLACE I CONSIDER MOST TO BE!

I think that the place where I would like to most be at would have to be inside my room.
I think my room is the most quiet place in my whole house. I love to sleep in my room and sometimes eat when my mom is not around. I also love it because I always have it cleaned and smelling good like fresh flowers like a tropical place.
My room has four walls and they're all white with pictures of family and friends hanging from each off the walls. I Also have big and small teddy bears hanging from the sealing of my room. Also there is pictures of me on the walls too. I have two beds in my room because sometimes my nephew likes to sleep in my room with me so we just had his bed moved to my room which gives me less space to put all my stuff in. The reason why I love to be in my room is because I can talk to my boyfriend peacefully and the thing I like about it is that I can lock my door so noone can come in while I'm talking. The other reason is because I can relax when I'm stressed out and can just lay down and have the fresh air come in threw my window. I love it when it hits me it just makes me enjoy it even more and just forget about all the stress. I just love to be inside my room!!

September 11th!!

What I remember of September 11th was that I was in 4th grade. I remember the teachers turning on the news and stuff in the classrooms. I remember being really sad because of all the people and kids that had died that day. It was just a really quiet and weird day for me watching the news and looking at the terrible things that had happened that day. It was just a really terrible and sad day to remember.

PLACE I WOULD GO!!

If I could choose any place outside the United States I think I would have to choose to visit Acapulco Guerrero.

I think I would love to go there because they have a lot of nice beaches and really pretty places I could go and visit. Also enjoy the beautiful sunny days out with friends and with family.

I imagine it's really fun, beautiful, sunny, cheerful, and many kinds of different big birds with lots of colors and really beautiful long beaks. But also I believe there's some parts where is not so nice and beautiful.

The first thing I would probably do once I get there is get a hotel and stay there, Then I think I would go down to the beach and get wet because I love to swim and have a nice cold fruit drink or a pina colada. After that probably go with friends shopping and just walk around the streets and look around Acapulco and just enjoy the time I am there and for get about everything back home and enjoy my stay in Acapulco Guerrero.

My ideal day!

My ideal day would have to be in Portland, Oregon. I would love to be there and stay for a whole day and night with my boyfriend. I would love to go to the closest coast or river and get wet and enjoy the day. At night I would love to go to this restaurant called El Marador. They say the restaurant is located all the way to the top of a hill where you can see the whole view of Portland. At night you can see the light and everything. It just looks so beautiful and romantic. Every time I go it just makes me have so much peace in me while I view everything around me.

MOST EMBARRASING MOMENT!!

My most embarrassing moment would probably have to be on October 31st.
That was the most embarrassing moment for me because it was Halloween. I was with all my friends including my boyfriend. We were just walking around in the streets taking the kids to trick-or-treat. I was just so into the things my friends where talking about and there was a bump on the floor which I seem not to see it. I just tripped and fell to the floor and hurt myself really bad. I was wearing a skirt that day and when I least expected I almost landed with my legs open but luckily I didn't. They all started laughing at me instead of helping me try to get up. I got so red at that moment and got up and walked away for a few moments to cool off. My boyfriend followed me and said it was fine, don't worry, that could of happen to anyone. I thought that was so embarrassing for me.

I also have another of my moments when I was at my sisters apartments. I was up stairs and my sister was talking to me from down the stairs. I did not notice that there was no step on one of the stairs and I kept talking to my sister stepping down the stairs not realizing there was one missing. I kept looking at my sister and all of a sudden I stepped where the missing step was gone and there was a piece of metal on the middle of the step to hold the stair. I ended up falling so fast that I did not realize what was going on. The piece of metal was between both my legs and I was wearing a skirt that day. Oh my god it hurt so bad is what I remember saying at that moment. I could not stand the pain. I just started crying in front of everyone and could not even get up till someone helped me. I got so red because everyone that was outside and in the pool were just staring at me and laughing at first but then they felt bad because of the way I landed. At the end of everything I ended up with two big bruises and scratches all over my legs and was so embarrassed to go outside for a whole week.
