Healthy Vs Unhealthy

I want to talk about this topic because now people are begun to eat more and more junk food. One of the reasons maybe is there are lots of fast food restaurants, McDonald’s, H&W, Burger King, Wendy’s, KFC, etc. In addition, people have less time to do them own meals at home because they have to work or study too many hours so in my case is the same. Usually, when I’m studying in Monterrey I eat unhealthy food every day, hamburgers, pizza, French fries, hot dogs and stuff like that. I live away from my family so I have to cook my own meals and I don’t know how cook so for me is easier to buy fast food. Also, I don’t like do sports but I must to try to do it.

However, here in Calgary I’m trying to eat very healthy because my host mom is vegetarian and she taught me some meals easy to make and very healthy. I’ll try to do my best.

Notting Hill.... =)

Notting Hill is a nice story I really enjoyed it. This is kind of surreal story about a strange that meets a famous actress. I think it´s only happen in the movies like this. I liked it because I´m a romantic person too and I enjoy comedy romantic movies and stories. Thinking about the characters, they were so good in the movie. I liked all of them. They were very singular and unique.

If I have to decide which part is my favorite I could say it was the last chapter because at the end of the story they are living kind of normal life they´re finally together, seating in the park, she is pregnant and they´re looking very happy.

Also, because of this book I could improve some skills in my reading and writing class, being able a good activity for the others classes too.

Housewok....when I was a child

When I was a child I did different kinds of chores. It because I’m the older of my siblings and then, I needed to help too much to my mom; I washed the dishes, took out the garbage, I did the laundry and cleaned the windows, between others activities. I think the housework is no very easy, it take a lot of time to do it, but when you finish all the chores you have to do, you really feel good. However, now the housework is not only women work, the men should help in it as well. Thinking about the housework is only for women is thinking very sexist.
On the other hand, When you have housekeeper it’s turn very easy because you don’t have to do anything, but being able to do by yourself the same activities you can do it without pay to anybody. And it’s better for do exercise.
In conclusion, I really enjoyed to did all the chores than I had to do, actually more than now because I getting very busy whit my University work.

The Cultural Shock

It has been an interesting experience living in Canada and being able to experience the differences between my culture and the Canadian culture.
The first contrast I see is in the life in the cities. In my hometown, there are over 10 million people in a smaller space. Here in Calgary there are less people however people is still stressed about the traffic and the organization, when compared to my country is would be a perfect very organized city.
I’m not sure why people seems to be less stressed about the problems of the city, maybe is because people is used to it and have other things to worry about, in contrast people worry about other things that Canadians don’t worry about like the access to a good health care system or an education.
Additionally, there are many other cultural differences. The family values are very different. Sometimes I would think that there are not values, but after thinking about it, it is just different. People in Canada are very independent, contrarily in Mexico families are the center of society and people thinking about the family first and then about them.
Family days are very important, and we always try to have family time. Here people seem to have a better balance between family and the individual.
This is why I think that there is a cultural shock, not exactly because one culture is better than the other, but different and unique.

Talking about gatgets...

I want to buy another laptop because mine is broken and I need the laptop for do many things. The laptop is very useful, I can take it everywhere so I can study, go into the internet, and whenever I want. With it also, I can download different kinds of programs, they are useful to listen to music, watch videos, movies, and games. In addition, here in Calgary the laptops are cheaper than in México, and these are the reasons to buy a new laptop here.
