These are some words that i am struggling to understand in my U.S Government class ;

• Ampitheatrer -  Is an open air stadium thats is used for entertainment and performances

                          - The collisium in Rome can be one example of an ampitheater.               

• Arthashastra - It is an ancient book that was created by the government advisor, Kautilya. In other words, The ruler's hand book.

                                - In acient time the arthashatra was constantly used through out the years. 

• Bureaucracy - It was a large group of people in the Indian government and also has alot of layers.

                                - India, just like Ameica had a huge group of people working for the govenrment.

One Republic



One Republic: Secrets



 Secrets are something that everybody has and its hard to talk about them. This person gets sick of all the acting and all the secrets because he feels like the lies are changing him and he's losing himself so he wants to tell the truth because its so hard to keep up with his own lies. I think the song One Republic is saying that it's better to tell the truth instead of living a life of only lies and also it's saying that he doesn't have anyone to tell his secrets so he try to finds someone who he can tell all his secrets and be himself with that person.

Obesity in the United States

 Do you think Obesity is a big problem is the United States ? 

As you see in this picture above, Yes Obesity is one of the biggest problem in the USA. Just by looking at the picture and the percentage, we can see that in USA is the one that has the biggest problem of obesity around the world. In the United States most of the food that is packed is made mostly of corn syrup.In this article I read, it says that obesity is the growth of hormones that people give to the animals and that is the meat that we eat. Also in the United States there are a lot of restaurants of fast food. For example, McDonald is one of the most popular fast food in the United States, not only in USA but around the word too. 

This is a map is showing the percentage of obesity from 1985-2010.

Japanese Smileys!!

After reading Brenda's post, I thought of showing you guys the Japanese smileys we often use in Japanese texts. These are the most common ones:

(≧▽≦) :happy, smile

 Σ(´∀｀；) :surprised

(T_T) :crying

(´・ω・｀) :sad

( #｀Д´) :mad

( ´ー`)y─┛ (,,ﾟДﾟ)y─┛ :smoking

m(_ _)m :I'm sorry

Different from America's smileys, in Japan there are too many smileys existing so no one knows the exact number of smileys that exist. Some smileys use Russian characters to create it.

By the way I really like these two smileys right now:

This is showing a pose like this:

_(:3)∠)_ 

I think this is easy, so please try!

orz, OTZ

You can make something like this if you do hard!

I wanted to show you guys some more Japanese smileys, but there are too many and I am actually really sleepy right now so I will stop here.

If you got interested in Japanese smileys, I really recommend this site so please look at it for even just a second. This site explains many kinds of Japanese smileys in English very nicely.

If there are smileys that you don't understand, please ask me. I will try my best to explain it to you!

Because I'm stupid - OST of Boys Over Flower

  

By: SS501

I chose this song because I got into Korean dramas and music after watching the drama Boys Over Flower. From the moment I started watching it, I notice there was a huge difference of what i have seen before in television, so I fell in love and wanted to learn more about Korea. This song is sung by the group SS501, this group is formed by five boys, each one has a roll in the group. They are one of my favorite groups in Kpop even though they are now promoting their solo album due to company disagreement having them all together. Well in 2009 they sang the main song of the drama Boys Over Flowers. Because I'm stupid talks about a boy that loves a girl but she doesn't love him back. He protects her and make sure she doesn't get hurt by anyone. I also like this song because it involves many instruments and it slow and soft to hear when you want to rest or relax yourself. 

The lucky one

The lucky one

A Las Vegas taxi driver found $221,510 while cleaning out his van last month.

Adam Woldemarim, the driver, discovered the cash stuffed in a soft laptop case that was left between the seats of the Virgin Valley Cab vehicle. Woldemarim then did what anyone feeling lucky in Sin City would do: He turned it in.

The 42-year-old from Ethiopia took the case to the cab company's security office, which soon got a call from the case's owner, who "won big at the Wynn and was on his way to the airport when he [realized] he forgot a little something."

Woldemarim was called back to the security office, where the big winner gave him a $2,000 reward.

But according to the Review-Journal, Woldemarim's friends and fellow cabdrivers are wondering where the rest of his tip is:

T3xting LOL

Texting has become a form of entertainment. I think textting is useful to modify arrangements. Texting is less intrusive than actually calling a person. When texting you can read it at at your own convenience and you don't have to respond unless you feel like it. It is also handy for those friends you need to tell something to but wont ever get off the phone during a call. Mostly, texting is use for sending out quick information, like a time and place, phone number, email address, etc. Texting is much more useful because when the things needed to say they can be accomplished in fewer words. Texting has lead peope to invent their own kind of language by using symbols and abbreviations when texting. Symbols like these :) ^.^ :3 >.< :D ;) (/.\) <3 :P o.O, represents different kind of emotions. Abbereations like " brb, LOL, gtg, wyd, ttyl, Asap, omg, & ily " are faster for texting. A text will always be on their phone sitting there like a voice mail waiting for a reply.

Physicians say that textng has lead to anxiety, distraction in school, falling grades,stress and sleeping issues.Texting can lead to muscular  damage disorders to your thumbs. Texting can be use for entertaiment and a way to communicated around the word but, it can aso bring you damages to your life. 

 

Out of all the phone compannies Verizon is the top one use in America. Verizon Wireless is concider to have the largest wireless carrier, the highest user rating, customer service, voice connectivity, and data services better than any other phone company.
