bullying

sometimes I don't let myself listen to music that is not in english, becasue it's better for my job. Because that say I have more vocabulary and fluency for the students. then I find the blog of this boy http://hausofjamey.tumblr.com/ he was 14 and h ekilled himself becasue he was bullied at school. From his case I can analyze thqat his parents di not have good communication with him since a lot of the pics he posted are not suited for children. Many specialists recommend that children's computers most be placed in publick areas of the houses so parents can supervise, whatever their children are doing on them.

regarding with the music, as I said i usually scold myself for listening to music in spanish, like Mecano, Julieta Venegas, Paulina Rubio, Thalia. people that don't sing in english. after knowing this boy's sad story I should realize that before pleasing everybody else I shoudl think of my own, mental, spiritual and physical health. this little boy listened to lady gaga i mention her a lot in my classes from now on I shoul avoid it. I should look for more positiv english speaking singers. looking forward to hear suggestions

Escritura y una anectoda simpatica

Que es verdad que cuando niño yo soñaba en escribir, sin mebargo, nunca he escrito, ni novela, ni cronica, ni nada parecido. cuando iva al psiquiatra este me ha dicho que escribiese, sin embargo, el director espiritual que tuve nunca me lo recomendo.

Es bien sabido que Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra autor de El Quijote escribio mientras estaba en prision, y es que para escribir, hay que tener teimpo y dedicacion. Si bien, sera que a mi en lo de escribir nadie me ha dicho que tenog talento, ademas, el buscar escribir al talle de Tolkien o de J.K. Rowling es algo que paree tan titanica empresa que el solo empezar a intentarlo es desalentador.

La idea, sin embargo de ser escritor que si me ha rondado. Que porque no doctor, astronauta o tejedor de tapetes, pues seguro que porqeu yo vei a mi madre leer libros. Siempre despues de comer, solia leer alguna novel ingles ade Agatha Christi o algo asi.

Os voy a contar ahora una anecdota de cuando era ñino. pues resulta que fuimos a una tienda departamental en un centro comercial, no revelo el nombre por no si este post llega a ser leido por algn ejectuivo de la empresa. bueno, pues bien que yo queria un librito ilustrado de l apelicual de distey La bella durmiente. Se lo habia pedido a mi madre que platicaba con mi padre y no me hacia mucho caso. Al ver esto yo le insisti que lo guardara en su bolsa y me olvide del asunto. minutos depsues de haber salido de la tienda me percate de que no habiamos pagado el librito. le comente pero dijo que no importaba.

Bueno pues tal vez no me he vuelto escrito por ese delito culposi en que irrumpi desde pequeño. Ah, que dirian los grandes escritores catolico como Santo tomas de aquino o San Alfonso De Ligorio de saber desde este insidetente literario. Tampoco creo que aprobaran mucho mis afanes literarios, mas bien, me exhortarian a la santidad.

Luego por eso me sorprendo tanto del progreso en los paises europeos. Pareciera que aquella permisiva falta de valores, luego les da campo para el progreso. ¿O sera que la ciencia y la moral en estan en campos diferente? Luego entonces un esposo puede serle infiel a su mujer y al mismo tiempo encontrar una cura para una enfermedad o inventar un dispositivo tecnologico de inmenso beneficio para su sociedad? Vaya en menudo lio etico y tecnologico me he metido.

Eucharist

Humans tend to build. Throughout the history huhmas have built towers, museums, houses, stores, highways, airports, schools, hotels, etcetera. When it comes to praying, we humnas tend to think the more the better. We think that if we pray between the beautifully sculptured walls of a roma cathedral, the shinny crystals of a gothic sanctuarium or inside the big rooms of a basilic we are "more" in the presence of God. Yet, God himself has decided to stay in a little piece of bread: the eucarist. So weather we visit our downtown's giantic cathedral or a small parish in a ranch, if the we see the holly sacrament exposed there is where Jesus is.

He has decided to stay among humnas in this little peace of bread. could he ahve stayed in something bigger and astonishing as one of these buildinas, as impressive as the Nigara waterfalls or as touching as the choirs of sopranos. Of course, he could have. But he has decided to stay in this peace of bread.

One of the main differences, cahtholic temples, have with others, not less beautiful costructions, for there are many beautiful musks, sinagogues and buddist temples, is that for catholics God is really within the church. I the eucharist God's presence is in the church, no only in spirit but in body too. the eucarist is a mistery. I invite you to meditate about it.

PS. i apologize for the spelling mistakes, but I haven't written in a while.

Culture, work and class

La semana pasadapensado que llegaria a mis metas de alumnos, y ayer me entere que no... aparte tengo los horarios muy poco definidos, de hehco la siguiente semana tendre una clase que no enseñe hoy, debo enseñar un nivel, en lel cual los laumnos deben escuchar las ideas y repetrilas. En ingles por supuesto.

From there we have the fact that , students don't listen to english conversation on a regular basis, that the contact they can get is from the internet, tv, radio, etc. How ever the rather listen to mexican artists, like Alejandro Fernandez o Belinda. People who are popular and yes talented, But that sing in spanish. Thank you very much. I don't disagree with the right every people have ther local artist however. When trying to teach a new language, you don't only have to teach the language, but the culture must be taught aswell.

When I studied japanese my teacher did taught us the culture, it was easy for them, i suppose, because they are japanese or becase they were mexican that sudied in Japan.

However when you work as a teacher in this company. Where you have to follow steps and the classes are recorded on camara, and though you know nobody is looking you feel like every single step you miss will be used agianst you. you.. well I freak out!

The finding out that even if you try your hardest, even if youwere punctual had the uniform, smile clapped and danced, it's not enough. If a student decides not to study anymore, no more bonus.

That isn't nice.

So here I post and continuew watching glee forth episode of the new season.

Today I still have 3 classes left. My Mom says I should take it with philosophy. Wiht which the company's or mine, may I ask?

Envy

Today my mother helped realise I'm feeling envy. I'm feeling envy towards my friend who has a bigger house than me. Who also has a brother. Plus I feel spirituas envy becaase he confesses his sins, has them forgiven and recives the body of Christ.


What a sinner I am. Envying the most materials things, family and the most spiritula of them all, Christ, himself.

According with the catholic tradition the solution to my envy is one : Charity. So in a rage I took out my old computer ( the lap is broken again) and I gave my mother 500 pesos it's not a lot, but its something.

Some times I think that "from love to hate there is a single step", and as my dear fiend Luyc, I ask myself , why did God put him near to me? Once she was stubbotn , and I told her that it was because God wanted her to convert him.


But I've never ask God why is he in my live? Right now it's a good moment. God why is he in my life? Why do you allow me to feel all this things? Why would you allow to feel and wisht this things? Why do you allow me to be unaffar and eny whe I should be thanking for the great things you give me?

I do agree with the catholic cathecisim, however one thing is agreeing an another what the body feels. At least I know what's good and not good. So if I deliverately choose what's wrong , I'm the one to blame.

I wonder why God allos things? and why I person wants to fall in love eventhoug it's wrong . Or meaby the person wants to feel something, The person being me. I want to feel in love. I want to feel taken care of I feel in need of love and attention. Practically, that the thing , I have love from my parents.


Living like Brent or like Miguel Tamayo. Who do I see happier?

What do I need to be happy?

Money? Love? Success? Making my dreams true? Working without stopping?

Cartoons? Videogames? Friends?

Waht do I need to be happy? My friends things? or my things? I envy his house, good, I want him to take of me good. All are fair feelings. Sinfull, ye. But human. Nothing more am I and nothing else I can feel. This are my feelings, this are my sins, they're mine, if God allows me to have both it's becasue he would rather prefer a living human than a suicide coward.

better lo have a platonic love than to comit dishonest actions, isn't it your idea God.

I seriously hope you understand. I know you do, still I hope you help me , to understand.
