behind the truth

 "Mom!" exclaimed charlie. "yes, am in the kitchen charlie!" his mother replied. "Jerrys parents are going skiing tommorow and asked if i can go ......Can I go ? " he questioned. " where are you going to skii ?"  his mom asked.  " Oh, i dont know , i believe Jerry's parents said its about 2 hours away from here," proclaimed charlie. "Okay honey, be safe, call me when u get there!" she demanded. Charlie went racing to his room, made his bag for the trip and called jerry to confirm that he is going. A couple of hours later, jerrys parents car pulled up , it was 10 pm at night. Charlie raced down to his moms room said goodbye and got in jerrys parents car.

    12 am ..... They arrived. they rented a room, so they can rest for a couple of hours. As, soon as daylight hits, there of to go skiing. It was 9am, and they all got up, got ready, and ate breakfast. It was about 20 degrees outside. They brought all there equipment and headed off. However, charlie had a small book in his hand. He said he always wanted to go skiing because the book always talked about how trilling mountains are, and since he was going to ski on a snow mountain, why not? Off they were, they spent most of the day skiing, and just having fun. Charlie was enjoying himself to much, from a very very far distance he would see this huge mountain in the middle of the ocean, but the top was covered by a storm of clouds. It looked very familiar to him, so he opened up his book and saw a picture that looked really similar to what he just saw

 They headed back to there room at 6 pm, and all of them just ate and went straight to sleep.

 Charlie quickly grabbed his book and sneaked out the door, he went to the storage room and pushed out the mini boat that jerrys parents had , and took it to the ocean. He grabbed his small bag and put it in the boat and jumped in after. He was off. He traveled all the way to middle of the ocean , right were the mountain was. He stopped and found a flat surface of the mountain and jumped to it . He tied his boat to the end of the mountain. He grabbed his bag, put it on his shoulders and started climbing the cliffs. It took charlie about 4 hours to get to the top. As he got to the top, he was getting colder and colder. But, he continued to climb. All he would see is fog. He had tied his boat and started to climb the cliffs. He knew that no one had lived to tell whats behind the cloud, but still he climbed. " WOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!" charlied expclaimed. "This is paradise! wow, look at all the animals and grass. Oh my gosh there's rainbows everywhere. White birds flying everywhere. It looks so peaceful here." he surprisingly said.

" charlie, charlie, CHARLIE! Wake up/" jerrys mom pronounced. Charlie opened his eyes, and realised it was all just a dream.

Oh my Dreams !

So recently i had a dream that i woke up late for school. I was rushing to get ready and everything. I got on the car and my dad dropped me off. All of the sudden as am walking, i look down , and see that am barefoot. I just start to panicking , and wonder how did i forget my shoes. Why didn't i feel it as i walked to the car? After, i just woke up !

  According to www.dreammoods.com what my dream means is ........ -To dream that you are barefoot represents your playful attitudes and relaxed, carefree frame of mind. Alternatively, being barefoot indicates poverty, lack of mobility, or misunderstanding.You have low self-esteem and lack confidence in yourself. Or you may be dealing with issues concerning your self-identity.You are unprepared for what is ahead for you.To dream that you are walking barefoot on a construction site means that you are not ready to put in the work necessary to improve your mind or body. Perhaps you are in denial that you need any improvement.

This is kind of accurate, meaning that dreams are a symbol of something in your life. Symbolization is when it basically symbolizes something. For example, the book The diary of a young girl, named Anne Frank. She was hidding during the Nazi Persecution. She has a diary with her at all time , writing about her experiences and thoughts during her experience of trying to hide. I think the diary symbolizes Anne Franks life during her escape of the Nazi Persecution. Which is very important , because people from now could know how the life time before was and what people had to go through.  

MOTHER LAND

What do I see ? Well…. I see many things …I see… Blue, Nature, life, land, grass, air, people, animals, rocks, water, homeland, beautiful, amazing, unique, light, dark, good, bad, our mother, moon, extraordinary, oceans, countries, clouds, circle, sphere, fragile, powerful, potent, peaceful, fierce, nurturing, distorted, breathtaking, inspiring, unappreciated, miraculous, wild, chaotic, mysterious, wonderful, exquisite,  our future, our past, our present, love, large, massive, essential, divine, cruel, strange, hope, real, far, black, grey, white, craters, abstract,- also known as our planet EARTH!

Well, what I think that is happening is that NASA went on trip to the moon. I think they wanted to visit our one and only moon we have. They probably wanted to do more observations and see if they discover anything new. I believe this photo was taken by astronaut William Anders during the Apollo 8 mission in 1968. They probably just wanted to take a picture of how the earth in which we live in looks like. Or the probably wanted to test if there camera or photography device worked.  Especially since it was from 1968, so probably they didn’t have advanced technology as we do today.  Even though in the picture it looks very clear and HD, I believe they fixed that picture and made it clearer and less distorted. I think this because years before I would have guessed they have black and white pictures, with low definition or quality, and, very unclear. Or who knows? Well, obviously they do. But can you imagine that trip all the way from inside earth to outside earth? It sounds amazing! I mean a rocket ship is HUGE and for it not to fall, is just simply extraordinary! Honestly to me it surprises me in a lot of different ways, especially since it was from a while back ago.  Technology wasn’t so much advanced, but they still managed to do it and explore.  I think every mission they make outside of this world must be very risky and very scary. Mostly because you’re traveling in this huge apparatus and you are completely going off into this totally different environment that you are not use to your daily life. I understand they have models or examples of what they’re going to experience. But, the real stuff is once you get out of this planet.

It also was probably a very thrilling and excited feeling. Not everyone gets to travel outside of this world, especially if you are going to go visit our one and only moon.  Plus, all that adaptation they have to go through, for example being able to float or eating space-food for however time there traveling.  Since they are traveling very far, but I mean very far they take days to get there or maybe even weeks. It’s not like here when we catch a plane and expect to be to our destination in a couple of hours or next day. Oh no, here we are traveling out of this planet to go into the universe and travel to the MOON!  Imagine the distance it takes, it’s probably like millions of miles away from here, even though it looks like its just right here.  As if it was as far as the clouds. Imagine how much tons of fuel they have to put into the space ship, in order for them to get to their destination. Must be a scary thought, like what if gods forbid they ran out of fuel during their journey. They do estimate how much they need and everything, of course, but sometimes things never go as planned. But nothing is worth the try, without risk or fear many things from our knowledge will be held against us. So, off the space ship goes, while many people watching it getting prepared to leave out of this world. It’s a very exciting and scary moment for the world. All you see is the massive sets of fire flaming from under the space ship ready to launch. Finally the crew is ready, they inspected everything for the ship, got there provisions, and here they go. 1, 2, 3, LAUNCH!!!!  They go up the sky in the speed of a bolt, but once it’s barely seen it takes hour to have reached the atmosphere and break off from Earth. Once the space ship is out of this earth, there goes into a total different environment. Here is where gravity exist, all of the sudden all the crew members are floating all around the space ship. Nothing they can’t help doing, but sure seem like a little bit of fun. But not all the time because sometimes I believe too much moving around could cause dizziness or sickness, especially now since they are traveling at a very fast speed.

Days and Days pass, and with the usual routine of space traveling going on. But now all the space members have been through very unique and different experiences. They look out at the universe, our galaxy! As there getting closer and closer, the astronauts are getting prepared to arrive.

Finally they arrive! Eureka!  They made it; they finally set ground to the moon.  William Anders is the first astronaut to come out of the space ship. He comes out and carries a photography device with him. Staying very focused and calm he travels along his way on the moon. He is carrying his oxygen tank and his huge astronaut suit. Managing to do as he was thought, He calmly makes his way a mile away from the ship with his photography device and settles it down.  Trying to adjust it a corresponding angle for it to face what is known to be our planet or mother of land. He calls back the other astronauts that are in the ship to make sure he is placing the device at an accurate angle. They give him his feedback and he adjust the device one more time. “Perfect Anders! That is the perfect place!” Ander takes back a few steps takes his remote of the photography and “CLICKKK.”  

                                                                                    OH SANDY 

So it was Monday afternoon, we all have been warned about the hurricane but i really didn't take it serious. I mean we never had a "serious hurricane" before, so i really didn't bother to worry. My mom had took as out to shoprite and BJ's to buy snacks and food, just incase. when i went to BJ's and went to the drinks section, it was EMPTY! I was surprised because people were actually taking this serious. After we went home and i was watching my favorite soap opera and at the same time i was on twitter. All i say on my twitter was how peoples lights kept flickering or the power went away already. In my head, i would be like mine is still on , but i didn't want to tweet that because i didnt want to jinx it . So as i was watching my soap opera "BAMMM" the lights went out. -_____- <-------- (facial expxression) I was mostly upset because my soap opera was getting intense. 

       Meanwhile the power went out, i still had signal, and i was texting aydee asking if she still got power. I It was abotu 8 pm and my mom and brother were trying to find flashlights. The winds were getting pretty harsh, and my mom and brother were really scared, but i wasn't. My dad told me never to fear mother nature, so i kept that in my head. My dad was in Ecuador at the moment, his flight got delayed because of sandy. So yeah. since there was nothing to do, all 3 of us went to my moms room and were just socializing.  After a while they fell asleep, and i headed to my room and it was about 11, i had no signal what so ever and the winds were very powerful. After, an hour, the wind and rain calmed down. When everything calmed down i went straight to sleep.

 Days passed ....................AND NO POWER !!

On saturday, my dad finally came back, and didnt like the fact that its almost been a week and still no power. So he took us to New york on sunday and we spent most of our day there. We came back around 9-10. and guess what ? :O Our power was back! I was so happy , in fact i think i had a little emotional moment. I went straight to charge my phone, listened to music, everything! Finally my mom started working again on monday, but we still didnt have school! I really wanted to go to school when we did NOT have power, nut once i got my power i didnt really mind. Lol. So it was election day and i was very nervous. It was about 6 something and i turned to the tv and saw Romney was winning. Oh no!  I got extremely worried and was praying for obama to win. Sadly i had fell asleep early that day so i didnt see anything. But, the day after, as soon as i opened my eyes i heard my mom say thank god ombama won! I was very happy. I jumped out of  my bed and listened to the news and went on my twitter to see what people were saying about it. Then the snow storm hit on wednesday which was also a hastle, because we had to shovel. But after that i spent most of my time indoors and appreciating my power =) 

The Joy of life

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.” 

What cris means is that people live thinking there happy , but they are really not. He says that people think what they do and all is okay, they believe thats the right way to live safe and comfortable. Which is the complete opposite! People live under rules and laws. Preventing them from being free to do what they want to , and actually be happy. I believe cris was right ! i think he was right because nobody knows what being free, really is. They all live under fear and dont get to explore, like he did.

Cris did it! he went on his own journey, not caring about rules, laws or consequences. He was fearless. He went on a adventure, and experienced everything out there in the world. For example, cris rode a canoe , crossing the boarder, without permission or nothing. He didn't even get caught. Cris wasnt scared or nothing.  

My life has totally been conditioned of life to security, conformity, and conservatism. If i met cris, i believe he would question me if i was happy. If i like the way am living, I think cris would encourage me to take risks. Live life to the fullest. GO on adventures, and take a journey. Most importantly, to be free and happy! 

Poetry

Real freedom

Franchise freedom sans political freedom,
Political freedom sans societal freedom,
Societal freedom sans economic freedom.
Economic freedom sans marital freedom,
Marital freedom sans sexual freedom
Is no freedom you grant women.

Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.

What the poem means is basically about freedom! Freedom of everything, meaning no rules, no consequences, no nothing! This poem relates to chris, because chris didnt care about anything, when he was traveling. He did everything he wanted, when he wanted, and how he wanted. 

Marvellous Travel

I travel with my eyes,
Watching those silently cry,
Asking themselves the question why,
Someone left them without saying goodbye;

I travel with my thoughts,
I travel with my pen;
To write about children, women and men;

I travel with my voice,
I travel with my hope,
That something new, would spring into my horoscope,
Whether in Asia, America or Europe,
There'll always be something interesting to scope;

I travel to many different places,
Mix with many races,
Identify tribesmen by their faces,
And little girls by their laces,

I travel without money,
So, please listen to my testimony,
The good, the bad and even the ugly,
Every experience is worth life's journey,

For I'll always be marvelled,
When ever I travel. 

Joshua Fernandez

This poem is about a person who leaves to enter a journey. He leaves and describes what he has been or seen throughout this experience. This reminds me of chris because, the person in this poem leaves without telling people, just like chris did. The person in the poem travels along with his pen and thoughts, just like chris did. Also, the person here, said he travels without money, just like chris did when he went on his journey. Both have seen  bad and good things, but both say everything is worth their journey.

Fantasy Trip

So,  am headed of!  I told my parents I was going to Nebraska for college. Which wasn't easy to convince them at first ! But, my plan was to take this journey already! So, they agreed to my decision, of going to "Nebraska University." But, in reality am not going there, is just a excuse so they don't get as worried. Since we don't live together anymore,  they don't have to be behind my back! Am going to Frasier Island ! Beautiful Island in Australia. However, am not traveling like a normal person does. Am going on my what so called "Fantasy Trip." I always dreamed to go far away and travel on my own ,like this guy in this book  i once read who was a tramp! No, guys! not a hoe! A guy that went from place to place ! Which really inspired me to do that once i was grown. Which i am now.

I've decided to head the long way to Australia. I thought it would be a greater experience! So i come from Plainfield, NJ. Boring old Plainfield. Lived here all my life. So you know am excited to get out of here. Its May 26, and i plan to take atleast 5 months on this journey. I have a friend, and his dad owns yachts and all types of water-mobiles (not sure if its a word). But yeah , so my pal said he would lend me one. So , its the day , and i drove all the way to Newark to get my boat. I was going to travel  all the Atlantic ocean to get to Barcelona, Spain. Well at least that's my plan.

Settled in my boat already , its a very big,white, and fancy boat! Just the way i like it! Brought alot of clothes with me! Cant leave that behind. SO if you guys didn't know , am going to be conducting the boat. Yes, i do know how to drive a boat. Took lessons in my senior year (advantages of having a rich friend ).

Wow...........what a beautiful moon thats out here. Hearing the sound of the waves hitting back and forth and just laying on the floor of the boat and just observing, the beautiful full moon. So , apparently  i feel asleep watching the moon last night, and all thats waking me up today is the beaming of the sunlight  I headed to check what time it was ... 10:23 am .....checked my GPS.....i have travelled just 100 miles across, still 1000 more to go. 3 weeks later........FINALLY! Made it to barcelona, spain! i was getting a little sick of the water already. I headed to a restaurant near by, and yummmmmmmm...was that meal not good? As i was walking out of the restaurant i hear someone call my name " Erica, Erica ."   I look back a couple of times, but who knows me here ? "Erica!" I turn around and see that is a long time friend i havent seen in years that apparently had live in barcelona! "Hey, erica " he said. "hi, roberto " I replied  "what brings you here?" he questioned. " oh nothing just traveling around,"  I exclaimed "roberto, nice to see you but am in a rush. "okay , hope u enjor your trip " he replied. I ran and headed to the train station. i was going to India now. I grabbed my ipod and started makin voice notations. Observed their type of people, train station, and environment. Wish i would have stayed longer but i cant. am very short limited on my time.

WOAHHHHHH!!! got to india , and all i can say is am mind blown .....it look VERY VERY different from all i have seen so far. Its amazing , all the people look so humble and very nice, However , there is somethings that is bothering me. As i walk these streets i smell lots and lots of curry. But , besides that its just so unique. I immidiatly took my camera out and took lots of pictures !

Couldnt stay long in India either ...headed of to the boat port. My final destination was coming ! Frasier Island here i come! Its been 3 months so far, just as i planned. The ocean currents throughout this area were very harsh. I was a little scared, but i had to be positive. 1 month later .......FINALLYYY!!!!! AM HEREEE!! i landed in frasier island atlast !!!! Oh paradiseeeee!!!! As soon as i got there i just set my hamet up and relaxed, slept all night long, and woke up to the beautiful view od the crystal clear water. AHHHHH!!!!! how amazinggg is thisss!!! i completed my journey with no stuggle and in paradise !!!!

The rapture of the deep

I believe Pepin murdered Audrey ! I believe he had to be the reason why Audrey died. Pepin was very competive and saw Audrey as a challenge. Even tho, that was his wife, no one truly knows what he felt deep inside. Probably Pepin did fall in love with Audrey, but i believe his love for diving and being the best was bigger! Honestly, this story reminded me of a a Spanish quote "Caras Vemos, Corazones no sabemos." Meaning " Faces, we see. But, hearts we don't. " If both Audrey and Pepin where professional divers, and did this before, why all of the sudden did they have this problem , now ?

According to the story Audrey died drowning, because she lacked of oxygen. Audreys inflator was not working. Why all of the sudden did it just not work? Honestly i find that to be very strange! Especially since they are "professionals." Pepin was in charge of everything and he didnt even have the second scooba divers and he was tge pressident of his association ? I just honestly, believe that pepin had to do with the murder of Audrey.

FRASIER ISLAND

Frasier Island, Australia

is the world’s largest sand island. It is the place of endangered species of wild dogs, Dingos, and many kind of fish found only in Australia. With the beaches that looks like heaven, it is very popular holiday destination for people all over the world.Frasier Island is about 75 miles long and 15 miles in width. This island is considered to be the largest islands of all sand islands.


I am planning to go to Frasier Island!  I want to go to Frasier Island because i believe it is so beautiful. The island to me looks so peaceful and relaxing. Frasier Island is located along the coast of Queensland, Australia.

I will be traveling for approxamatly 9 months and a half. I am planning to travel by boat crossing the Atlantic Ocean all the way to Spain within 2 months and a half. From there I plan to travel by car all the way to India which will take about 3 months. From India I plan top hitch-hick to south east Asia For 3 months . From south east Asia, i will be traveling by boat once again to Frasier Island which will consist of 1 month of traveling.

While on my way to this beautiful island i plan to take 6,000 dollars. I will be taking a huge douffle bag with can food, cookies, chips, and most definitely WATER!  Of course, clothes and shoes! I will also be taking a compass with a map, and my cellphone with its charger ! 

What i wish to accomplish is to get there safe and learning a little bit of what i have traveled. But, my major accomplishment is to get there and just relax! live and enjoy the beautiful place! Pretend as if I was in heaven! During this trip i will take a journal and my phone! I will always write a comment in my journal everywhere i go. And i will have my phone to take pictures and post it on a private instagram account , where only REALLY REALLY close friend or family could see ! 

Make-Up Blog =)

http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/ - This is a blog based on all types of make-up! From high end make-up to drugstore make-up! This blog basically about make-up (of course!), but it informs you about it. Basically is like reviews on how it worked. It gives u some detail of the product, for example: price, size, colors, etc. It even gives you swatches of the product. I choose this blog because I like make-up. Before I buy any type of product i research it, just to see if it is worth it. Especially since i really like eyeliner and mascara.

how the world changes..

What i think the narrator was talking about is how the world seems to change and the way people see things in different view. Or in other words how people see things differently! For example, in the video they showed  Kermit the frog and said "as what some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do! " Which is very true ! Some people see Kermit the frog as being silly or childish , but in fact, some people acknowledge it and see it like "model".  I think people who saw Kermit the frog, would think of the show as a inspiration, that other people can do. In this today, Kermit the frog is still remembered!
