The first 100 days

I am in front of the TV watching president's Obama speech, I think it is very soon to apreciate what he is fullfilling, but I hope that he will do great things for the country and for the whole world; at least he has a very good plan to resolve all of the big issues that we have to resolve, and the best thing is that he wants to talk with the countries that Bush considered as USA enemies, I think this strategy will work much better than Bush's, which was just fight them and send to war the young people of this country.

The new Flu

It is incredible how things works these days, that new kind of Flu has spread all over the world in less than a week and it could turn into a pandemic, it is amazing when you think how many people travels from one country to another and so on, just in one day.
It is also scary when you see how a simple cold can turn into an sacry Flu that kills people.

The hunger people in the world

My daughter gave me a website adress two days ago, in this website you try to guess the meaning of a word and if your answer is correct they donate 10 grains of rice for the hungry people in Africa.....nice ahh; It maybe sounds too little, but i was thinking if I pass on this web adress to two friends and they do the same thing and everyone try to play for five minutes a day, I think we can help that a couple of kid do nat die today of starvation and at the same time we are improving our English.... it is just a thought.

Monday

here I am on Monday morning starting a new week, trying to enjoy the fact that I have to write in this blog at least trhee times a week, but to be sincere today I am enjoying just writing whatever comes to my mind, I am sitting in my office as always, listen to the radio on the internet a station from my country and planning what I am going to do this week because the taxes time is about to finish and that is my main job right now, so I have to think of something to work on.

The Pirates

It is incredible that at this point in time it is still pirates on the sea, I thought that was part of the history, I thought they existed just on adventure books, but it is incredible that we have to be afaid of them in the 21st century.

The new book

I am excited about the FVR book we are going to read for class, the one that I choose is about a guy who live in a new kind of world order, a world with a new name, a new language for everyone on earth, same currency.
The good thing about it is that the guy who wrote the book, did it in 1930, and just imagined who would be the world in 1984.

Is human life just a dream, from which we never really awake, as some great thinkers claim? Are we submerged by our feelings, by our loves and hates, by our ideas of good, bad, beautiful, awful? Are we incapable of knowing beyond those ideas and feelings?

We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little lifeIs rounded with a sleep…William Shakespeare.

Recycle

As I was walking down the street, I noticed them for the first time. They were everywhere. Who brought them? How long had they been there? These blue bins with cool triangles on the sides of them were taking over. I had heard of these things in school, but I didn’t realize how popular they were. Some have holes for cans or bottles, while others are for paper products. We have all been told that we should use them. Most of us have started to use them, but we don’t go out of our way to do it. Maybe we don’t realize how helpful recycling can be. Maybe we don’t care because we don’t think recycling affects us, but the truth is, recycling is beneficial to us environmentally, economically, and personally.

Hybrid cars

Hybrid cars are a new generation of automobiles that strive for the highest economic standards. The point of hybrid cars is not to take away all the luxuries of gas cars like horsepower and torque but to make for a more environmentally friendly car. In these early stages of development there is a noticeably lesser amount of power than a gas car. Future projects are showing that hybrid cars in the future will have just as much power as a gas car today. For now hybrid cars have the same price and features as a gas car but it will cost you much less in the long run because of their high gas mileage. Hybrid cars will make a difference because of its almost zero emissions and the money it saves on gas. Just think of being able to drive twice as far on a tank of gas and saving money while doing it.A hybrid car is a car with both a gas powered engine and an electric motor. The electric motor is powered by batteries, which are recharged while driving the same way as with a normal car battery. The gas engine is the same as one that would be found in a normal car. These two power sources can be used simultaneously or by themselves depending on what the car is doing. An electric car is one that runs purely off an electr Hybrid cars are a new generation of automobiles that strive for the highest economic standards.
