Terror en lo profundo ( Shark Night )

                Remember the movie I talked about in the last blog? The one I mentioned that was about sharks and that was like Jaws, well, no need to ask yourself which movie it is because I will be talking about it in this blog. But first, there is something you don’t know about me and is that I am in a Latin country so the title is in Spanish. The movie I watched with my friend is called Terror en lo Profundo, which in English would be Terror in the Deep.  The title explains it everything now that it says terror in the deep but it does not explain every fact about the movie unless you go to a movie site and read the summary of it but you would still be missing some key points and elements of the movie which is the suspense that you will not fee and experience now that you will only read the summary.
                This movie talks about a group of students in university that decide to go in a trip in a lake to celebrate the B+ that one of them had gotten, but it was not a freshwater lake, it was a salt one. They were excited about this trip and once they got there, they were surprised and amazed of where they were going to be living on the next few days.  During the day, one of the guys called Malik which was the one who got the B+ decided to water ski but he never though there was something in the water that was going to drag him into the water. Fortunately after being bitten by a shark pulled down underwater, he managed to escape the jaws of the shark and swim back to shore. Safe and alive, he loss something vital, he had lost one of his arms. But even with the disappeared arm, they did not guess there was a shark in the water, instead, they though he had cut his arm by crashing into something when he had fallen into the water. After, one of the guys (the main character) jumped into the water to see if he could get the arm back that his friend had lost but disgracefully, he found something more than the arm but he found a shark about to rip his body and eat his flesh. He survived, obviously because he is the main character but the others were eaten and ripped apart in ways you could not imagine.
                Only two people survived the main character and his girl but they barely survived. But the death of these students is not what makes it scary but is the reason of why this people are being eaten. You will have to watch a movie if you want to know how this students died and how the sharks got into the lake, but let me recommend you, you don’t want to know but you want to watch it. Confusing, right? If you are, this is what I was aiming for, so that you have the curiosity to watch it even thou when you realize what happens, you will want to erase some hours of your life because watching this movie is like watching an episode of criminal minds. Hope you enjoyed and that you may enjoy the movie with the nightmares that will fallow at night, good luck when you go swimming and don’t think about this movie because if you do, I am sure the people around you are going to notice the temperature change and the warmth in the water.

Carnival!!!

Hey, I am back, back from my carnival vacation and no, I did not dress in a costume! Unfortunately I did not go anywhere for carnival but luckily, my friends stayed as well so I had a fun time with them here in the city. We did all sort of things like watch a movie, play sports, and many other fun and boring activities that someone could do here. One of the favorite activities we did was everything, yeah; I actually enjoyed my carnival with my friends because for me being with my friends is way better than being in a trip. Every time I come back from a school trip or a trip with my friends, I get upset thinking it was the trip that was fun but it really is my friends which make my trips and life more interesting and exciting.  One of the things we did was play computer games like Team Fortress 2 or Minecraft, we would play some games in multiplayer and chat which is something we like to do, I like the gaming part but I also enjoy chatting and talking to them because we never know what kind of conversations we will be talking about, my friends can talk and start any conversation.

                I did not only spend my carnival with my friends but I spent it with my family which is fun whenever they are not talking to me about my grades and school stuff. It was fun to spend time with them, my mom had just returned from a trip and I was happy to see her again. Even thou I had an exciting time with them, I have to admit it was not as interesting because they are always working, so I am normally left at home alone while I chat with my friends.

                But one thing I will never forget is the movie I watched with a friend which was about sharks, kind of like Jaws even thou I don’t remember that movie a lot. This movie was intense, it was scary but not that scary to make me pee on myself but it was the suspense that made it scary because you would never know who would die first, even thou the events were predictable, it would still be very scary when it would happen. To give you a clue of how interesting and freaky this movie was, is that I did not even have time to finish my popcorn and drink due to how I was so into the movie, I was not even half way with the popcorn and drink when the movie finished. So I really enjoyed this vacation and I am looking forward to have another brake, I hope you guys had a nice carnival and that you enjoyed my summary of my short vacation.

The Wizard of Oz


The Wizard of Oz is a really interesting and fascinating book and movie that has touched people’s hearts like the man of the last interview. I have seen the movie and don’t remember if I ever read the book but I do know one thing, that it is very successful and that I am one of those people that got touched by it. This wonderful movies and books are not only interesting but it has changed lives by the lessons it teaches. For example, three of my favorite lessons are the fallowing: fallow your own yellow brick road, don’t hide your true self and the solution might be right on your feet (In the case of Dorothy).  I think that the idea of writing a blog of this and comparing it to real life is really creative because the Wizard of Oz has so many lessons of life that you could write lots of blog entries comparing your own life with the lessons of it.
                Just fallow your own yellow brick road is one of my favorite lessons in the Wizard of Oz, The reason why is because is because is telling you to fallow your own road. Dorothy is told by the good witch, Glinda that she will have to fallow the yellow brick road to solve her problems which was to go back to her home which is in Kansas. She fallowed the yellow brick road but even thou she did, Dorothy could have fallowed her own yellow brick road which is telling us that we can all go on our own yellow brick roads that will lead us to our destiny that is awaiting for us.

                The next lesson that teaches all of us is to not hide your real self from the world and from you as well. This lesson, as it says, it tells us to be ourselves even if the others don’t like how you are because being another person won’t be really help a lot or even be comfortable for you as well. If you are your real self, I am sure someone will enjoy having your company. But don’t take this like if you could do everything you wished because life does have limit, especially civilization, so this is not telling you to kill someone you hate or to steal, it’s just telling you to be yourself but do what’s right.

                At last, all the solutions you are looking for might be just under your nose. We have all read and watched the movie and we all should know that Dorothy’s solution was right under her nose, in her case on her feet. When a problem or issue presents in your life, don’t get nervous and try to think clearly because if you get scared or nervous, your head will not be able to find solutions. The human brain thinks better when its calm, if it’s all scared and frustrated, the most probable incident that might happen is to turn the problem worst. Life has obstacles and you will have to go through them no matter what, so if you get a problem, you know what to do, because the solution might be just under your nose.

                The wizard of Oz, one of the most interesting movies and book that I have ever read and watched. Creating a blog about it to compare your life to it is an awesome idea that will really catch people’s eyes, so if you like the Wizard of Oz, I suggest you to enter that blog by clicking the link above this blog entry. Hope you enjoyed this post and that these three lessons will be useful for everyone in some point of life.
