Finishing the semester

This is my last post for this semester. The true it is hard for me to write a free topic. I really prefer when the teacher give the topic. However, I enjoyed many of my writings. In addition, tomorrow is the last class. I can say   that it was one of the best course I have taken. Everything in this course was very good, the writings and the readings. I really enjoyed. When people ask me about the teachers of the NCC I say without dude than Robert is one of the best teachers. I hope that the next semester the course will be as good as this semester. The semester is gone and the summer is coming so lets enjoyed the weather.

My birthday is coming...

Next Wednesday will be my birthday. I really don't care too much that date. Everyone ask me about what I am going to do and I really don't know. When I was in my country all my friend always do for their birthdays a big parties. On the other hand,  I prefer something like go out to dinner and couple wines. Here I feel the same I prefer to do something like that. I really don't like big parties for my birthday. In addition, I think that is date to share with family, my parents and my sister. So let's way to Wednesday to see what happen. I think the most important think is look back to analyze the past year and look forward to make plans for the next year. I think this year that is passing was good, but I can not complete my plans so I hope I can do it by next year.

En Coma

The last post I talked about Colombian movies. Nowadays there is a new movie in the cinemas named "En coma" which is about my city and what is grow up in there. Colombian director Juan David Restrepo has decided to premiere his new film "En coma" in the same Medellin neighborhood where the filming took place, rather than in a national theater.The entire cast of the film will be present at the Thursday May 5 showing, in the southwest Medellin neighborhood of Antioquia, which will also consist of a pig roast and a concert involving all of the musicians featured in the movie, among them popular vallenato musicians Daniel Calderon and Los Gigantes."En coma" is a story set amidst the trials of life growing up in Medellin, and originated from the necessity to bring global attention to the city and say "look what happens here".

Colombian Movies

One of the things I really miss is the cinema in Colombia, not for the Hollywood movies because I can watch them here, I really miss the Colombian movies they are really good. The production, the actors, the topics, everything about them is amazing. In fact, Colombian movies have won many international awards. There are many Colombian movies that are about interesting topics of Colombia.

Tony Hawks

In the last post I mentioned Tony Hawks who is the best skater of the world. I mentioned him because he is the motivation of my nephew. So I would like to talk a little be about him.  Anthony Hawk known as Tony Hawks is an american professional skater who is known as the best of the world. Hawk gained significant fame for completing the first 900 as well as his licensed video games titles. He is widely considered one of the most successful and influential pioneers of modern vertical skateboarder. Raised in San Diego, California, Hawk was described as being "hyperactive" as a child. His parents supported his skateboarding because it served as an outlet for his excessive energy, and as Hawk's skills developed, he became a professional skateboarder at age fourteen. In 1999, he became the first skater to land a 900 in competition. In 2002, he created the Boom Boom Huck Jam, an extreme sports competition in Las Vegas. Throughout his career, Hawk has made numerous appearances in films and other media, as well as his own series of video games.

Jacob and his skateboard

Jacob is my older nephew,  he is five years old and he is so smart and he has a great ability. Weeks ago I gave him an skateboard because he always play the game of Tony Hawks on his Wii. I thought that it will be like the other toys, but it is not. Now he so enthusiast   with that sports. Every day I drive him to the skate park in Norwalk beach. In there everyone is much older than him, but he doesn't pay attention of that. He is practice so much and everyday is better. Sometimes I am afraid or accident or something like that because that is an extreme sport, but he has to try what he wants. I will support him on everything.

Christmas in my country

This post is to tell you how is the celebration for Christmas in my family. My family is catholic for that reason we celebrate Christmas on december 24. All my family go to the gran mother's house at the evening. In there we have a dinner. Before 12 am, around 20 minutes before, my grand mom with all the children go to the patio of the house and they start to pray to God. At the same time, the adults are hiding the gifts for all family. Then when is 12 am everybody runs around the house to search gifts. In this tradition, all members of the family have any task to do. The meaning of the tradition is basically that baby Jesus comes at 12 am to give gifts for everyone. The children don't know that the adults are who hide the gifts, they think that while they are praying with grand mom baby jesus comes from the sky and he leave the gifts.
