Task 3. Advertisement.

Writing about an advertisement.

Some time ago I watched an ad on youtube called "Never say no to Panda", the main idea or setting is about a man wearing a Panda costume, this special charachter appears in the scenario if someone say no to Panda, Panda is a brand of cheese from Egypt. So, if the man or woman said no to eating Panda cheese, this panda costume appears like being mean, not angry but mean. He drop something or atempt to people but in a serious/funny way.  When the man is saying no to panda and the costume appears, it's always a song playing in the backgroung, like in the movies. The panda making his eyes looking like the Puss in Boots on Shrek. 

It was interesting at first sight, so watched the top five of Panda's ads. Here:

About the four lectures of succesful teenagers.

·         A successful teenager could be any of the list, fisrt of all, because they’re trying to achieve their goals. In a monetary way, the boy with the SuperJam, Fraser, could be the most successful, because h’s earning even more money than his parents. But in a moral alternative, for Sarah is a relief knowing an organization of teenagers that are in the same situation as her, interacting with them, the caregivers.
·         Maybe Darius, because he’s making a huge effort on being the number one. Training every day, rising from the bottom of the poverty.
·         Sarah and Darius, because they’ve to face the difficulties that life give us, with their short age.

Who Am I?


Hi!
This is a short introduction about myself...
I'm eighteen years old, I was born in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, and lived there for about 16 years.
Then my family and I decided to move to the capital city. 

Since I was a child, my mom said I was an hyperactive girl,
I used to sleep so late (and nothing has changed).
Well, that's something about my childhood.
Now I'm more relaxed, at least I think so.


Likes and dislikes:



  • Food:

Masala Chai Tea
I want to start saying something about food. I love tea, speacially Masala chai, wich is a combination of herbs and species, 
like cinnamon, pepper, black tea, cardamom, star anise and cloves, it can be sweetened with sugar or honey, but I like ti more with honey and milk.
Besides of that, I'm in something you can call "diet" but it's a way of live, "vegetarianism", well, for me i't more like lacto-vegetarianism.


  • Music:

However, I like rock, I also listen to another genres of music but my favorite one is rock, it's something my father inherited to me.
Indeed, the like about machines and systems, is also something I learned form him.


  • Personality:

As you may see, my family is my support, they're my first thing in life. 
I like to help people but I can't stand people who attack or despise others, unjust people.
That's why I prefer animals. Indeed, I have three dogs and a hamster, they're so lovely. 
It doesn't matter if I arrive angry at home, they always find the way to put a smile on my face.
Another interesting thing could be that I always change the way my hair looks, I used to have it long with bangs, then long half-shaved, and nowadays it's short with purple-blue dyied bangs. 
I also like piercings, once you have one, it became an addiction.


What about my interests and free time?


Howard P. Lovecraft
Well, I really love to read, it's one of my favorite hobbies in the world. And I spend almost all my free time reading.
I like to read novels, fiction, Mythology, tragedy and anything interesting. If I'm not reading I'd probably being watching sitcoms or movies.
I also like to watch movies, like action, sci-fi, and gore.

Oh, yes, I also like learning new languages, I think the way of people communicate result very interesting 'cause everyone use words and phrases as they can and want.
That's one of the reasons I want to improve my English, and why not? Learning a new one language, like German or Chinese.

Well, now you know something more about myself.



(I always like to put a song on my entries, so, here's the song for my introduction)

Song, song, song.

Bungaloo Punta Cometa.


It's simple, I like it because it's different. 
Soft Pop, great for relaxing. Maybe taking a drink and losing yourself in an extraordinary world.
