A Very Cool Experience

At the beginning I thought that this idea of making a blog will be boring. Now I know that I was totally wrong, and my expectations are totally different. I think is not hard maintaining a web log, It’s even fun and that makes it easier. I feel very good about having my own blog, because this is the first time I had an own blog and I think this has been a cool and good experience to express your ideas through out the world.

Since the beginning my feelings have a lot. Know I like to have my blog in good conditions. That means that I correct my errors like capitalization and punctuation to have an excellent blog with an excellent spelling. One of the things that I have most like about blogger, is that we can put links pictures and thing like that makes your blog look fun and nice.

One of the things that have surprised me more about blogger, is that I never thought that this idea of making an own blog would be so fun and also interesting. I have learned many important things about blogger, like how to express my ideas, how to write essays and also I have learned that you never put your whole last name in a web page.

Holly Week

Every year during this week called Semana Santa, my family travel through out the world to get together. Each year it is a new experience in a different place. This year it was here in Cartagena in Islas del Rosario. It meant a lot of sun and fun. I enjoyed each one of my family member and the things we do together. All the sports we practice are very fun. Each one of my aunts and uncles cook very well and we eat like gourmets.

The first thing I enjoyed a lot was my new cousin Carolina. She is a little baby 1 year and a half old. She is learning new words and vowels and she is learning to discover the world. Sometimes she got exasperated with the hot climate and the sun. She also enjoy the warm water of the sea. She is very intelligent and understands almost anything. She learns very quickly and showed improvement each day. She always pouted to show displeasure. She is a great kid.

I spend a lot of time doing sports. My uncle Charlie is a great partner. We went snorkelling to the aquarium and saw very sophisticated animals. At the begging it can be a little scary but it is also a wonderful experience. We also did kayaking and surfing. We swam and enjoyed the water every single minute. We also had time to play soccer. Since we woke up in the morning we made plan for the day and sometimes 12 or 15 hours were not enough.

At night my aunts cook very special dinner. My Aunts Rose’s boyfriend is a Mexican who owns restaurants and cook s very well. He cooked typical food from Mexico and it was great. It was a lot of food so it was not rationed. We ate tortillas, chilaquiles, tacos and quesadillas. The adults had margaritas. My other aunts also cooked very delicious food.

This was one of my best vacations because I Had the opportunity to be with all my family . We had a great time together and enjoyed every minute doing what we like the most.

Emirates Stadium

During the 1990s, the stadium of Arsenal at Highbury had a capacity of 38,419 that was all seater in 1993. Most of the other important European football clubs had a higher capacity. So Arsenal started looking for a bigger stadium, that was something very difficult.

The club selected an industrial estate at Ashburton Grove, which was just five hundred meters from Highbury . They announced their plan in November 1999 to all the fans. They expected to open it in August 2003. However, they had planning and financial difficulties so they opening date was changed to the summer of 2006. Before beginning to build the project, they had to buy out the existing occupants and to pay for their relocation. Thus, Arsenal spent a lot of money to buy 10 acres (40,000 m²) of a former railway land on Lough Road, to house a new recycling plant.

The construction of the Arsenal´s stadium began in February 2004. At the same time, two bridges over the Northern City Railroad railway line that connected the stadium with Drayton Park were also built These were completed in summer 2004. The stadium was finished on August 2005, and was completed ahead of schedule and on budget. In February 2006, 90% of the club seats were all taken and in June, all the seats were sold.They had a ceremony on 13 March 2006 in the new stadium to install the first seat.

Their Emirates Stadium was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth IIand Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh on Thursday October 26, 2006. This was a great day for the Arsenal team.

I think this is one of the best stadiums of the world because It´s big with a good structure, It´s located in a good place, it has excelent sittings and V.I.P.

A Cool Story

I read a story called "Three Skeleton Key". It was kind of scary but it didn’t scare me, I like it because it is a suspenseful story and I like suspense. It remembers me an experience that I once had, when I was studying at my balcony at home.

My favorite part of the story was when the narrator said “And the rats escaped from the boat and surrounded the lighthouse”. That was my favorite part because it remembered me one day that I was studying at my balcony at home when a rat run beside me. When I saw the rat I went straight up into my house. Since that day I began hating rats because they are always sticking out there and eating your things. One of the most important reasons that I don’t like rats is because they are very dangerous especially y they are Holland rats. I have some friends that rats have killed there dogs. This things remind me my when I was little and when I always saw Tom and Jerry.

Roger Federer with his third US Open

Have you ever heard about Roger Federer? The Swiss world number one fought a brave challenge from America's Andy Roddick to win 6-2 4-6 7-5 6-1 and takes the title for the third time. It was a ninth Grand Slam victory for Roger, who also won Wimbledon for the third time in a row this year. He is trying to chase Pete Sampras's who have a record of winning 14 major titles. Roger took his victory in 2 hours 26 minutes in front of 23,000 spectators.

"I'm glad it all worked out because tonight was very difficult against Andy.
"I'm really happy to see him back at the top and I'm really happy to play against him."

I think Federer is the one for this US Open, because he has put a lot of effort on this sport to chase Sampras. It is not easy to chase Sampras who have a record of 14 major titles. But I think he is going to chase him. I am mostly sure that he is going to win next US Open, and not also that I think that Roger can be the best tennis player of all the times.

Henry hoping to stay at Arsenal & His Third Award

Henry has been named Football player of the Year for a record third time by the Football Writers' Association.
The 28-year-old Arsenal captain is the first player in 59 years of the award to receive it three times.
This season he has broken the club's all-time goalscoring record and led the Gunners to their first European Cup final against Barcelona in Paris.
The striker was Footballer of the Year in 2003 and 2004 but last year's winner was Frank Lampard.

Henry who has been linked with Barcelona has said he wants to stay at Arsenal beyond next season.
His contract ends in 2007 and many people think that he will leave the club and stop playing for the Spanish champions.
He told the Sun newspaper: "The truth is I love this club and I've made my mind up to stay".

"I can say to all my fans and the people who care about me I want to lead the team out in the new stadium."

Arsenal will kick off the new season in a new home just down the road from Highbury, called the Emirates Stadium at Ashburton Grove.

Henry has been an Arsenal player since 1999, and this season became the club's leading goalscorer of all-time. But he will have to agree a new contract if he wants to stay with Arsenal. And if Henry doesn't sign a new deal before the summer of 2007, then a new club could take him from Arsenal without paying transfer free.
