"What i spend money on"

About this topic I have to say that I`m a petty person. And why, you may are wondering. Well, since I was a little boy my mother always told me that I have to save money to used it when is needed. And you know what? She is absolutely right about it because, and this is in my case, I always need something related to my class: I have to  copy  a notebook when I miss a class, I take the subway and the bus so I need money for transport, among other things.

It’s rarely the occasion when I`m buying something that “I want” like clothes, shoes, or something to eat; especially the last part. When is the end of month and I have to collect my salary I don’t use it to buy food; I honestly prefer starve to dead than spend my money. Sure, sometimes I buy some clothes, but only if it’s absolutely necessary. 

I have a grandson, as I said in previews posts, and I love him so much that when I see it I buy anything he wants: candies, junk food (french fries, cakes) and clothes, without knowing his mother.

 When I see something that I like in the market, first I check the price and think if that is really necessary because I don’t want to be irresponsible spending my money  buying something that I’m gonna use for a short time. The worst part is when I have to choose between two thing that I want ( a puzzle or a shirt, for example) and I don’t have enough money to get both. IT´S SO TRAGIC!!

Going Green

I´m concern about the environment but I´m not, as they called, a “green person”. Sometimes I do some recycling activities, like recycle paper. I have tons of news paper in my house so, when I have the time, I go to the supermarket and I throw it into the recycling container for paper. More recently I assembled a “recycled notebook”, which is made of notebook paper of many other notebooks without use.   

Sometime, when I go to supermarket I use recycle grocery bags so that way when I have to buy more things during the week I can bring it with me and reused it.

Other activity that I do is reduce my consume of electricity to reduce my carbon footprint and the electricity bill, especially the last part which is making very happy to my grandmother. To do this, I try to reduce the use of my computer and TV. I use “natural light” to do my reading and homework and turn off the lamps.  This I do it also because that way I can study better, without the constantly interruption of hard noises from the TV and radio. Also I´m try to reduce my consume of water, but is so difficult because I love take I shower before going to bed or after gym. Is so relaxing taking a hot shower after a hard day at the university! I deserve it, but I´m constantly scolded because it takes me a lot of time take a shower.

"My guilty pleasures"

I´m a men of many guilty pleasures. For start, I love food, I can get enough of it and when I think that I’m finally satisfied I eat more and more, especially bread with butter or lemon pie (I love lemon pie!). Also, I like see a lot TV, which is causing me many troubles with my study time and with the electricity bill.

My other guilty pleasure is the music. I look for songs in every music channel that I know, especially in MTV channel. Then, when I have all the music that I need, around 500 songs (is the number of songs that I actually have in my music device, more or less), I create a music list to listen on my way to home, university or any other place that requires leave my room or house. Sometimes I listen so many time the same music that its turn boring and make me tide, only then I turn of my MP4.

Finally, and this is a guilty pleasure that I hate, is drink alcoholics beverages. Is really bad, I know that, but is something that I will remedy. Is very good at first, but is not worth the migraine and the stomach pain that I suffer the next morning.

So, these are my guilty pleasures. I can only tell that please don’t judge me, I’m only a men, a very weak one.

"Deforestation of great forests"

For this post I´m going to talk about this article entitled “The world´s remaining great forests”. As we know, the great forests are vital to the health of the planet. Many years ago, we were surrounded by them and this contributed to have clean skies, but now we have less and less of this ecosystems. Also, because of this, many animals have been extinct all because we have destroyed their ecosystems, the place where they have been live so far.

In the past, our planet was covered in ancient forest an now 80% of them have been destroyed by us in the search of our survival; in the search of basic elements to survive on the Earth such as wood and food, killing anything in our path.

With the deforestation of the great forests we are contribute with the increase of lethal gas in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide, and because of this we are experimented what we call as “Global Warming”. Also, as I said before, many of the original species that were once on Earth are no longer with us as a direct result of deforestation. That’s why I’m sending this message to all, we have to protect our planet if we don’t do it we will pay a high price for this. It’s time to correct our actions!!!!
