How to lose a friend in 1 year... 

Some people have lots of friends, classmates, people that know from somewhere, but can you know which are ypur real friends? I choose this topic because many times we think someone is our friend and trust that person all our personal things, and suddently they happen to betray you for some reason.
 
You need to be real careful who you chose for a friend because you might regret it later. Most times it is very hard to trust someone all your personal things, tell them how you feel, all your problems; and once you get their trust or they win yours, even for a stupid thing all the friendship can be gone. Once that is gone and it´s all over, to start again it is needed communication, comprehention and love for eachother.
 
Winning the trust of someone it´s very difficult, and it´s very easy to lose it all for one little coment or action; we need to be very careful and think before doing or saying something beccause you don´t know how would the other person will react, or how would that person take it, even if you are almost considered to be brother or sisters, you have to respect and acept that person as he/she is and never judge, you never stop knowing someone in it´s totally, no metter if you know eachother since you were born, there is always something hidden.
 
Trust is the most important thing in a friendship, honesty, and saying the truth above all; if you want to lose someone do what you wouldn´t like other to do to you, ignore them, act like they´re not important to you at all and you will see how your most loved friends will slowly stop being part of your life, and when they are all gone you will relize how important they really where¡¡
 
 
It all begins with a little lie, and as I herad once "If he does it once, he can do it as many times as he wants", this means that  when you do something bad to another people no matter how small it is, maybe for that people what you did hurt very much, and it doesn´t have to be huge to hurt, so be careful what you do, and how others fell.
 
Maybe you did something wrong and you know it, if you want people to forget you, and be alone without friends, and people to trust in, be with... then be selfish, egoist, and never ever apologize. I think many people know acepting his mistakes and apologizing is very dificult, but is more dificult not having anyone to trust in, and living by yourself without someone that leastens to you and gives you advises, thats much harder. So swallow your ego and acept when you did something wrong, learn how to apoligize, and you will see how everything would be cleared.
 
What I said before about "doing things once and then doing it again and again", thats true, but we need to know how badly is the situation and knowing when to give second chances, people have mistakes and it´s OKEY, we need to be comprehensive and get things cleared with others. Oviously it wouldn´t be the same after a fight, thing would be different. But there is more time than life, so also learn to forgive and respect yourself as you want to be respected.

HISTORY OF GUADALAJARA

  • FOUNDATION
Guadalajara is the capital of the Mexican state of Jalisco, and the seat of the municipality of Guadalajara. The city is located in the central region of Jalisco in the western-pacific area of Mexico. With a population of 1,564,514 it is Mexico's second most populous municipality.
The city's economy is based on industry, especially information technology with a large number of international firms having manufacturing facilities in the Guadalajara Metro Area. Other, more traditional industries, such as shoes, textiles and food processing are also important contributing factors.
The city was established in three other places before where it is now. The first settlement in 1532 was in Mesa del Cerro, now known as Nochistlán, Zacatecas. This site was settled by Cristóbal de Oñate as commissioned by Nuño de Guzmán. The purpose of the city was to secure the recent conquests made and to provide defense against still-hostile natives. This site did not last long due to the lack of water, so in 1533, it was moved to a location near Tonalá. Four years later, Guzmán ordered that the village be moved to Tlacotán.
The historic downtown of Guadalajara is the oldest section of the city, where it was founded and where the oldest buildings are located. It centers on Paseo Morelos/Paseo Hospicio from the Plaza de Armas, where the seats of ecclesiastical and secular power are, east toward the Plaza de Mariachis and the Hospicio Cabañas.
The Metropolitan Cathedral began construction in 1558 and was consecrated in 1616. Its two towers were built in the 19th century after an earthquake destroyed the originals. They are considered one of the city's symbols. The architecture is a mix of Gothic, Baroque, Moorish and Neoclassical. The interior has three naves and eleven side altars, covered by a roof supported by thirty Doric columns.


ADDED TOWNS:
Santiago de Tequila is a town and municipality located in the state of Jalisco about 60 km from the city of Guadalajara. Tequila is best known as being the birthplace of the drink that bears its name, “tequila,” which is made from the blue agave plant, native to this area. The heart of the plant contains sugars and had been used by native peoples here to make a fermented drink. HERE ARE SOME OTHER CITIES AND TOWNS CLOSE TO GUADALAJARA:

LANDMARKS:

As one of the largest and most influential cities in the whole of Mexico, Guadalajara boasts a myriad of striking modern landmarks and notable local monuments. Built in 1995 and around 92 metres / 302 feet high, the mirrored Torre Chapultepec is amongst the tallest high-rise buildings in Guadalajara, with similar skyline landmarks including the Fiesta Americana, the Hilton Guadalajara and also the Templo de la Luz del Mundo, an elaborately designed church.


The Basilica de Zapopan is a historic structure dating back to the early part of the 18th century. With classical Spanish-inspired architecture and superb vaulted ceilings, the basilica is at its most popular in the middle of October each year, when its hosts the Romeria de la Virgen de Zapopan celebrations. Large crowds of thousands gather to join in the religious festivities and parade honouring the Virgin of Zapopan, Guadalajara's patron saint.

Catedral Metropolitana picture (Cathedral)
One of Guadalajara's most remarkable landmarks, Guadalajara Cathedral is often referred to as the city's Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana). The cathedral dominates the area and boasts two striking towers (more than 60 metres / 197 feet high) and a large central dome, all of which are illuminated at night, taking on a completely new appearance. Built in the middle of the 16th century, the cathedral has been renovated several times and remains in excellent order. Inside, the cavernous interior is quite breathtaking and the dome is an important centrepiece. The enormous pipe organ is also of interest and amongst the biggest of its kind in the whole of Mexico.

ANIME


Anime is a word that comes from Japan, that representes an specific type of cartoons from this same country; is commonly said that this word is a short from the english "animation", because it was the very first cartoon, and still now a days, that includes all sorts of elaborated movements that are closer to reality than any other.

This type of series are closer to be a strage cartoon, but at the same time movies that actually reprecent something in life, they make good stories and we can learn about them as if it was a movie, well some of them, because it contains the same genres as normal movies. AT first when we saw the series about the boy who didn´t know his reality, I thought "what is this?", and it actually got me interested, I´m not saying I like it, because I still don´t, but is not that bad once you get to watch a series and know about it more.

As I said before, anime can be just like a movie but with cartoons. the one that we watched was just like the movie MATRIX but a little more confusing because of the kid that was confused, i think he got us all confused, and I gues that was the point, I liked the drawings becuase they weren´t lik other animes with their huge eyes, this were more like abstract and more likely  as a human, body and movements.
 
 

 










 In my opinion I liked watching different stuff, that i would never have watched it by myself, just because I wanted, so it was good that our teacher though us something different just to know and try other things, and not just say we don´t like it if we havenpt even watched some anime or japanese series, we have to know what it´s about and if I dind´t like it, it´s OK it´s not obligatory to like same stuff others like, we have to find our own likes and dislikes¡

EXPO COMIC MEXICO 2013

Going to the expo comic was a different experience, compared with most of all the things that we do day by day; when I got there almost everyone was a cosplay or or with a costume, there were stans with clothes, hats, T-shirts, toys, action figures, cadies, etc...And with all those creepy costumes.

Some peopple were even dancing, people video tayping them, taking pictures, they were some kind of EMO or SKATERS, they really know how to dance. I didn´t really know most of the stuff there was, such as the characters, the comics, the colplays ( each one of them were different, and looked just like a character of a japanesse movie or cartoon series ). People were so used to it, they were walking and stoping by to see al of the stans, but as if they knew all of the expo, and just walking over and over, like if it was their world.

 People from every type were in the expo comic, which was good, nobody judged nobody, there even went moms with their children, small babies. There was this girl dressed with a blue costume, I think she is a super heroe or a power ranger...hehe:) Sorry of I´m wrong, but I don´t know much of this anime japanesse things, but something I leared wile I visited the expo comic where that you don´t have to get confused with all this wierd names they use, such as COLDPLAY which is a person that dresses or interprates a japanesse character or any character, it could be a super heroe and even a disney character. Japanesse characters or drawings are better known as ANIME. This pother word was very used, and was confused until I knew that MANGA was a word in japanesse to say comics. Finally COMIC is a series or/and drawing that make a history.


I liked going, it´s not something you do as much as other things, and ipts good to visit different places once in a wile, I personally recomend you to go, and checking what other people or some people do for a living or maybe just as a hobbie, so you know the reasons and stop judgeing.

War between south and north korea

North Korea–South Korea relations: are the political, diplomatic, and military interactions between North Korea and South Korea, from the division of Korea in 1945 following World War II to today.

 
It's certainly not comparing like with like: North Korea is a small, impoverished and isolated country; South Korea is wealthy and backed by the world's number one superpower.

They never call themselves the names we do either: officially, it's the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (that's the North, to the rest of us) and the Republic of Korea. And, while the South is westernised and industrialised, the North has the distinction of being the most corrupt country in the world (joint with Afghanistan), according to Transparency International, have a high infant mortality rate and homicide rate - plus have one of the lowest press freedom scores anywhere in the world.

The big caveat with all this data is the fact that we know very little, really, about North Korea. These numbers, estimates as they are by the UN and other bodies, are almost certainly wrong. But they are the best numbers we have.

 
 
Opinion:
 
In my opinion I think they shouldn´t be fighting, if they worked together they would have massive power over the world. Things happen for a reason, still it affects us becuase they want a war with the USA, and we are so close.

springbreak

SPRING BREAK ALSO KNOWN AS EASTER HOLIDAYS, MARCH BREAK, SPRING VACATION, ETC. IN THE UNITED STATES, SPRING BREAK IS CELEBRATED TWO WEEKS FROM MARCH TO APRILDEPENDING FIRST WEEK IS THE HOLY WEEK, AND SECOND IT´S THE EASTER WEEK.

THIS ARE TWO WEEKS THAT PEOPLE START TO FORGET WHAT THEY ARE FOR, AND JUST GO OUT ON VACATION TO THE BEACH OR OTHER CONTRIES, AND THEY NEVER THINK ABOUT THE REAL HISTORY OF "SPRING BREAK". PEOPLE PREFER TO RELAX AND FORGET ABOUT THEIR PROBLEMS INSTEAD OF PRAYING OR THANKING GOD FOR ALL HE HAS DONE FOR US.

BUT OF COURSE WE CAN RELAX AND ENJOY VACATION, SPENDING TIME WITH OUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND FOR OURSELFS. SO THIS SPRING BREAK DO WHAT YOU LIKE AND ENJOY, BUT MAKE SOME SPACE TO THANK GOD FOR ALL HE HAS GIVEN TO YOU, AND FOR WHAT YOU ARE.
