Halloween


This weekend I'm hoping attend to a party at my friend's house where there is going to be a lot of people, and friends from other schools, I was also thinking to go to sixth street after the party with my girlfriend and some friends.

I'm also really excited to celebrate The Day of the Death, many people from Mexico and other Latin countries celebrate this ritual, Mexican bakeries all over the country offer the delicious pan de muerto, these breads are place on the altars and taken to the tombs in the graveyard.

I'm hoping that everything goes right this weekend and that nothing bad happens, because usually during this time of the year, many people drive when they are drunk and as a result of that they cause many accidents that sometimes they end up in the death of innocent people.

The next two days will also be very important because on August 2, is the date where Mexican and Latin people celebrate "El dia de los muertos" the day of the death in which many people go to worship their ancestors, where people go to the cemeteries and build altars containing their favorite food and beverages of their deceased.

It seems like this year it's going to be a lot more excited than the years before because many people has already been planning on what they are going to do for those days.

Chicharito


Today's post is dedicated to one of my favorites soccer players, Javier Hernandez commonly known as "Chicharito" (Spanish: little pea), is a Mexican footballer who plays as a forward for Manchester United, being the first Mexican to do so.


He previously played for Mexican club Guadalajara. He made his debut for the Mexico national football team in September 2009 in a match against Colombia and represented them at the 2010 FIFA World Cup scoring two goals against Bolivia.


On 11 June 2010, Hernández made his FIFA World Cup debut during the opening game of the 2010 tournament against South Africa in a 1-1 draw, and he scored his first competitive goal on 8 August 2010, scoring United's second goal in the 3–1 victory over Chelsea in the 2010 FA Community Shield.


He's my role model because, he was always trying hard to get where he is now and this encourages me to keep on playing soccer and hopefully make it into a soccer team, many people from my family tells me to do what I like and that is exactly what I'm going to do, I'm going to follow my dreams, because one of the reasons that makes me no to give up is my family.

My Birthday


This week it's been very special for me because I just turned seventeen years old on Sunday, I had a small birthday party at my house, I was really happy because all my family gathered together to celebrate my birthday, It's one of the occasions where you want to reunite with all your family and to have a really good time with them .

My aunt was in charge of the food and she really surprised when she made some enchiladas for me, and I was really grateful to her for worrying about me and cooking food for all guests.

I got some really cool presents for my birthday, one of them was a pair of cleats for soccer, everybody in my family knows that I love to play soccer and that nothing would make me more happy than getting a soccer ball and a pair of soccer cleats for my birthday.

The next day I had to wake up unfortunately early because I had to go school and take a quiz for my chemistry class that would to helped me to pass that class because I was failing with a fifty five and the end of the first six weeks was just three days away from that day, one of the good things about that day was that we played a small scrimmage and that happily we won the game with a hat trick that I made, and nothing made me happier, that when I got to see my girlfriend after school, I was happy because she had not talked to me in a while because she was mad at me for a little argument that we had, but now everything it’s back in its place and I’m really happy because of that.
