Heart-Attack-Match!

I almost die of cardiac arrest during this match, my friends and I screamed yelled almost cried this is the first match that I ever see that leaves me with a teaching the Goal is not lost until the ball is out or somewhere far away from the goal-zone. Well Paraguay played excellent and Spain knew it. The hit that Sergio Ramos got in the face- it hurt me-but now we´ve found a reason for him to wash his hair!!!

At the end of the Match Sara Carbonero -Iker Casillas´ girlfriend and TVE sport reporter - was interviewing Casillas and at the end the Venezuelan commenter -he was not there btw- said "Kiss her that she´s your girlfriend!" I almost piss my self.... Man I love my country!

Phrase of the match:

"Move it, Casillas, that the other dude is coming!"

Ps.
I finally remembered how to say "partido" = match!!! YAY

Two Games in one post

Sorry I know I havn´t comented about the last two Spanish Games, but here they come.....

Can you believe that I found out this Sunday that one of my many cousins plays at the junior Barça league and that is possible that he stays playing with the Barça and stuff?

Spain vs Chile


We saw this game at Vl´s house again, it was exiting, I wore my Fernando Torres Liverpool shirt we painted our faces and screamed and yelled as if our lives depended on it, then again we fell back into cheking the Spanish National Team´s butts-specially Torres´but we check him out ALWAYS , and well..... Iniesta´s and Villa´s Goal were A-ma-zing, I though that Casillas was going to punch Piqué in the end just for tradition, but he didn-t, even though the guy who kicked Torres in the knee was very, very evil and we forgave Casillas to let that goal get in. Sadly we could not enjoy our triumph much because Ss got and Infection in the eye and she had to hurry to the hospital.....

On the way back to my home there is a street which I call the Embassy street because in that street there are The Spanish Embassy, The Italian and The French Alliance, so aswe walked by the Italian Embassy a dude that was just getting out of his car inside it gave me the death look, I think me being dressed in the Spanish shirt and with Spain´s flag painted into my cheeks had something to do with it.

Phrase of the game:

the
phrase sounds better in Spanish

"Corre, chamo, corre! (About almost everybody)" traduction: "Run, dude, Run!"



Spain vs Portugal:


We think that our school headmistress (a Spanish nun) planed our test to go with the Spain games calendar, because this game was the same day as our last test and school day, as we waited for my dad to pick us up for school Md put on her Spain Glasses and our Art teache who Spanish took a picture with her L.O.L!!!

So we Watched it at my grandma´s house we painted our faces and hands and screamed harder than the last time, Js and Cm suported Putugal but they said in the end that Spain deserved to win.

You know my dad has this thing for texting me before the Spanish games to remind me to have a handkerchief close in case they loose, so this time he forgot and texted it on the third minute of game and my answer was "da, in two minutes Spain almost scores two golas...." So the most exiting part about the goal was that everybody though it was lost- I though that Spain would loose the game as a matter of fact. At one point the did a Close up to Casillas- God! he´s hot- and you know when you´re tired and stuff that you hump and your lips move as if they were a horse´s? well they passed this in slow motion it was so weird!!!

In the end I could not believe that Cristiano Ronaldo actually spit at a Camera!! and Did you see the Portuguese goalkeeper crying and Casillas conforting him- that was the cutest thing I´ve ever seen a reason more to love Iker Casillas!- good shirt exchange if you get my driff.....

Phrase of the game


"How in the bloody hell do you do that?!?!?!(about Casillas´s horse lips movement)"


Ps:
You know what´s creepy?? my great aunt -my grandma´s older sister - is in love with Casillas I think she´s going to kill his girlfriend and marry him or something like that......

WE WON!!!!!!!!!

This game was better than the last one but it could have been better, they easied down at the end.

The goals where impressing really beautiful both. The Spanish Strikers all of them played beautifully.

Did anyone notice that the Honduras´s Captain was all exited when he shook Casillas´ hand? again Piqué is my hero he recived a ball in the balss and got his lip broken and still ended the game, we also came to the conclusion that he is a werewolf because he´s huge and I do not know when did he grow so much hair it has only been 5 days!!!! When he was shown after he got the lip broken at firts they didn´t show the how he got it, they showed him with blood on his mouth and it looked as if he was puking it!! Cm and I were like "God they gave him the kick of the year in the stomatch and now he´s puking blood out!" but thank God it was just his lip.....

El Niño Torres almost scored a goal like five times, we thought the Spanish Coach was kind of cranky until we saw him give two thumbs up to Torres and he fell his knee while he god kicked in the other!! Villa´s Goals were amazing they were real art makings.

Phrase of the game:
"He´s definitely a werewolf (about Piqué)"


I really hope that the Honduras´ Goalkeeper is all right he got quite hit against Ramos´ knee.....
Viva la Roja!

They took the prhase "kick their asses way to seriously"

I´ve decided that until the team is disqualified from the World Cup I´m going to comment the Spanish games. By the way I´m not commenter or anything like that just a Spain fan.

Their first game was yesterday.... and the lost.

Switzerland took the "Kick their asses" phrase way too seriously. They tried to kill the Spanish team, destroy them in the literal sense. They used Iniesta as a punching-ball and the goal they stroke they stroke it because they stepped -literally- over Casillas and made Piqué bleed. In the end they even made El Niño Torres play and he was recovering from a knee surgery which was very risky-the move not the surgery- Swiss played like the girls in my school they were all after the ball so they were like all of the Swiss team over tow to four Spanish. I think that Spain played nicely and deserved to win.

I watched the game with my best friends at Vl´s house I think that her little brother´s ears will never be the same he was sitting beside me and I scream very, Sol one of my friends was close to tears, it was the first time Vix got exited over football, Vl almost hits the Tv and Cm who was at first supporting Switzerland changed to Spain.

Prhase of the game:
"They are trying to kill them"


So let me know who do you support, please do not flame if you supported Switzerland I think that they have a very good goal-keeper.

Viva la Roja.

My favorite teacher- what else can I say?

Everybody has a favorite teacher, and my favorite teacher deserves a post all about him.

My over all favorite teacher is my art teacher, he´s from Spain and we are sure that he was there when God invented the World. Is amazing how much he knows, he knows the beginning of the Bible in Greek -in freaking Greek- he also speaks apart from Spanish -duh!- French, Italian and Latin, he doesn´t speak English though.... His life could be made into a movie, it would have to be a very long movie, but it would definitely be a entreating movie.... He met Picasso, and Vrigilio Trompis - a Venezuelan artist- traveled around Europe in car that belonged to the Vatican, and as if it was not enough, he used to study art in the University of Salamanca in Spain, and one day he was called to tell him that he´d been selected between all of the students there to receive a scholarship to study in one of the best colleges in art in Rome, so he went to Italy barley speaking Italian - lots of funny anecdotes with that- where he met the daughter of one of the Pope´s -Who could have been Peter- doctor- he was the one who lend them the car- we are sure he dated her but he doesn´t want to admit it....

A funny tale about him, the other day my friends and I drew some doodle people on our fingers and while he was passing we showed them to him,I was kind of expecting that he would reprimand us for drawing on our fingers- you see he´s a very strict teacher-, but he laughed and while he passed by me showed him my fingers and told him who my fingers were, John Lennon and Bob Marley, so he helped me stand up -I weight little but he´s very strong for an old man- and took me were the others teachers where and showed them my fingers- he´s a Beatles fan, one more reason to love him- and my friends and I ended up with a picture of our-self and our fingers to the yearbook.

I´ve never seen anyone who loves art more that he does and is inspiring, he loves teaching and that makes his classes the more interesting of all of the classes I´ve ever seen, he´s the teacher that makes the school worth the while. I´m very fond of him and he´s very fond of us, my friends say that I´m his favorite student, and I like to think that too, it would be an honor to be his favorite student. And he happens to be my eldest cousin´s favorite teacher too, so I´m not allowed to have bad grades in his classes. And before I forgot he has the coolest sunglasses ever!!!!

So do you have a teacher like mine? a teacher that makes school worth the while?

Humanist or scientific?

So resently I have been thinking what is it that separates a humanist form a scientific apart form the fact that humanist usually enjoy subjects such as Languages, Art, History, etc and Scientific enjoy subjects as math, biology, Physic or Chemistry, though this is not mandatory. So having conversations with my brothers, my dad - the Scientist of the family- and my mom, some of my teachers -who are also Humanists- I came to some conclusions. Let me present the situations to you.

Situation 1- After I lend my Percy Jackson´s books to my little brother, he has created an habit of coming in to my room and asking me "You know what I ask myself?....." So the other day he came into my room and told me that the Apollo - Big-Mass-of- Gass situation didn´t have any logic, I told him that he didn´t have to push logic into every situation, but he kept pushing so I told him that not everything has a logic, that sometimes we have to believe blindly so he went to my dad telling him that I was mentally unstable because I didn´t look for logic on everything, so he explained to him that in literature not everything has a logic - thing that most of my class didn´t want to believe when the teacher explained.


Situation 2- My dad recently has an obsession about a Zepelling and he makes the mathematic operations to see if it´s possible, so he was telling me about it and I told him that he wasted he free time and he said that he just wanted to find out if it was possible so I told him that if I was going to dream, I didn´t have to find out if it was possible, that if I dreamed with a Zepelling I didn´t care at all how it flied that if it was going to fly because the elf were doing it I didn´t care or that of it was going to fly because of some candy inside it then it did and I didn´t care how and he callede a drugie and then blamed it on my humanistic personality.

Situation 3- During dinner I was telling my family how much I abhor maths, and my dad defend them saying that everything has a mathematical solution and I told him that no, my mom scoffed and my brothers agreed with him, so I defended my side telling him that as far as I knew my emotions weren´t controlled by some mathematical thingy and my mom agreed with me, but my dad explained that the emotions are controlled by the brains and stuff I don´t really care about - my feelings have no logical explanation- so I asked him that how did he explain a miracle mathematically, and he said that to find out that it is a miracle you have to use all the scientific methods until you find out that none of it is, and then my mom said "Well that´s how you find it out, but she asked you to explain it" my mom and I won the discussion.

Situation 4- During the first days of school this year my art teacher -my favorite teacher I think I´m going to do a post about him- was explaining to us why the world isn´t going to end on 2012, he said that if God had let us be "bad" for more than 300000 years why would he ever let us be good for just 2012 years. and you know I got his explanation better than the one my dad gave that had something to that if the world was going to end on the 2012 we would´ve already noticed because of some scientific reason.

So I came to the conclusion that a Scientific is that person who looks for a mathematical logic in everything while a humanist use a different logic, like if I´m going to dream it can be what ever I want it to be, and stuff like that.

And to end this post I´m going to leave you with a question, my teacher made in class. Art in every form -painting, literature, music, etc- can explain the feelings, but how would you do that with math or chemistry or physics???

Master and Commander.... Who would have thought?

First of all I want to apologize for being out so long, but.....Anyways so Have you ever seen the movie Master and Commander? Well the first time I saw it I was seven, but I had never actually realized how much I like it. Who Would have thought that I liked a movie were the only women that appear just sit there and look pretty for about 30 seconds? But I just simply love the movie. I just sit down with my dad and watch it while he tries to make me remember the name of all the sails and mast.

I love the fact that the scenes like when they cut Blakeney´s arm off or when the docotor is practicing a surgery on himself they actually get to let know that they are suffering but that they are being brave. I love the fact that when the Captain gives the order to cut the ropes and leave sailor to drown it is shown that he doesn´t like it. I love the relationship between Jack and Stephen, because they have nothing in common except that they like music and they are still best friends and the fact that makes you actually believe that they are friends is that when they fight is like the fights my friends and I have, we scream at each other, we get mad but we don´t stop talking to one another; and also they care so much for one another Dr.Maturin is in the ship even though he hates it but he´s helping Captain Jack, and Jack let the ship he chasing go because the doctor was wounded and they needed to go to land so that he could have the bullet removed. I also like Peter Calamy he´s very brave and he cares for his friends, I´m not sure I could have been there while my best friend´s arm was being cut off and he´s very, very, very handsome and I love he´s accent I find it sexy. I love Blakeney he´s so kind and brave. I love the music they play too....

I simply adore this movie, who would have thought?

The Phantom of the Opera is there inside my mind!

I´m back! Did you miss me? just pretend that you did....

Remember my post about plays? remember that I told you I was going to see The Phantom of the Opera live? Well, I went and loved it!

Like I´ve said before, it is definitely more exiting to see a show live that a movie or youtube as a matter of fact. The show was great and I look up to Theater actor and actress a little bit more every day.

So back to The Phantom of the Opera show. I went to see it with almost my whole family of my mother´s side we were almost two entire rows -we were 26 people- and it couldn´t have been better. We were lucky enough to be able to see the show with the Broadway cast who was on tour. The guy who played the Phantom -Tim Martin Gleason- has the Record of being the longest-running Raul, which he has played over 2600 times!

In the all I Ask of You number the Phantom is lowered hanging and hiding on a statue the whole number and in the end when is his turn to sing he stands up and sings -duh- but even though I was enjoying his singing and stuff I was like "please don´t fall and die, please!!" but that just makes him even more awesome. other moment where I was like "please don´t die!" was the moment when Raul runs after the Phantom and Christine when he kidnaps Christine after the Point of no Return that Raul jumps of a platform into the stage´s floor but you don´t see where he falls and I was like "Oh my God! He broke his legs" but then he appears walking as if jumping like that was totally normal -I want to do that!, I´ve done similar thigs like jumping off threes, but I guess it is not the same thing!

My mom says that first impressions prevail, but there are still some things that I liked better from the movie, like the fight between Raul and the Phantom in the graveyard, in the movie it is a very exiting swords duel, but in the stage performance it is like "How dare you?" ºslap with a gloveº "no, How dare YOU?" ºSlap with a glove", but I like the fact that the Phantom could throw fire out of his creepy club! -Raul and the Phantom never get closer that a meter and a half in that fight, actually. I liked better The Point of no Return number in the movie; in the movie it is all sexy and stuff, but in the stage performance it is a duet between Christine and the Spirit of the Future Christmas from a Christmas Carrol, but it was anyways sang perfectly. And the costumes from the movie, but well......

In the end of the show part of the cast stayed on stage and talked about a Charity called ´Broadway Cares" which helps people with Cancer, VHI.... the Phantom was the one who spoke and we discovered that apart form having a great voice and a great acting ability the Phantom was very charismatic and funny, they sold some stuff and the money taht it earned went to Broadway Cares, the sold a bag that in teh ende I was not sure if it was made of recycled material because not even the Phantom knew he was like "this bag which -I think- is made of recycled material. Is it,Bruce? Bruce? Bruce? Well he´s not here to tell us, but you should buy it anyways!" they sold a autographed -by the whole cast- poster, which I bought -and it is now marked and hanging over my bed- other thing that they sold was used slippers by the ballerinas of the show and the Phantom was like "this is someting that some people might like and it may gross other people out, but..." and while he said this on the back Raul was trying to take his shoe off -I was laughing like crazy. When I went to buy my poster in the doors of the room where past of the cast accepting donations, and I asked one of them where I could buy a poster, he told where I went a bought it and when I was going back to where my family was waiting for me I showed it to the guy who was told me where to buy it and he said to me "Hey! you got it, bravo!". And when we were going to the parking lot, on the exit of the Theather there was another guy accepting donations, and my cousin and I were -that how is said? I´m sorry if it is not- singing -I sing like a diying cat mixed with a dying car horn- and dancing Mascaraed and he was like "Good, you´ve got a part!".

In a Nutshell it could´t have been better! and I want to watch it again!

So I thank the whole cast for the efort they put pulling this wonderful show on, I thank Andrew Lloyd Webber and Charles Hart for making the music, Gaston Leroux for writing the novel and last but not least I thank the guy who told me were to buy my poster and the other for "giving" me a part on the show....
