My Holidays 2005

This week I want everyone to post something about how they spent the holiday season in 2005, (last month).
I spent Christmas in Evanston and Milwaukee. I had Christmas breakfast with my mom and sister. After that we opened gifts. Then we drove up to Wisconsin to see my aunt, uncle and cousin as is our custom. It was a relatively calm Christmas. I stayed in Chicago two more days and then I went to Acapulco to relax in the warm air and sunshine. I spent 12 days in Acapulco. I have a beautiful apartment there and it was great to get back to see it and some of my friends. I spent New Years at home. I have a great view of the bay in Acapulco and I got to see a lot of fireworks from my bedroom. Overall, I would say that my holiday season was very relaxing which is great because I worked VERY hard for the semester before vacation.

    In this year I spent chrismast day alone. I ussually celebrate christmas event though I am not christian. I always enjoy christmas movies, so most of the day I was watching movies. I did enjoyed christmas eve. I went to night club with one of my friend. I also went to new years eve party with some of my close friends. It was so much fun. I wasnt really happy these holidays season because my families and my friends weren't with me. They are in Indonesia, but I always can deal with it. I am hoping next year I will have more friends to hang out with on holidays.

  • The way I spend my Holidays last month was more or less like this: My wife and I went for shopping, you know, toys for our kids and some family members. Also we were very busy trying to get all the food ready for that day (Christmas eve). We had tamales, all kinds of tamales, like cheese, meat, chicken and salsa. Our friends came over to our house, they brought some mexican food too. And also they brought some cds in order for us to listen to them. Our kids were so exited just waiting for Santa to come by. So around midnight they opened their presents and all of them started to go crazy because of the toys, finally they went to bed around 3 o'clock in the morning, then everything came back to normal life the day after.

  • You had really good holidays! That's great.
    I've lived in Milwaukee for a short time.
    Sometimes I go there to see my dear friends.
    By the way, I went traveling to Alaska with my husband in this holidays.
    Usually Americans are surprised to hear about that.
    But in Japan, it is popular to go there even if it would be in winter.
    It was a wonderful trip.
    At the end of the year, we watched northern lights. They were so
    beautiful and fantastic.
    On New Year's day, we took the Alaska train from Fairbanks to Anchorage and saw the grandeur of snow covered mountains. It was very very beautiful nature.
    I wish I could spend like this travel every winter holiday...

  • My Holiday in Chicago


    Thai cultures not celebrate Christmas because we are Buddhist, so in Chicago many people do. I and my roommate cooked Thai food. We invited Thai friends to join the dinner. We ate a lot and I surprised that had 20 friends. We were very happy. For the New Year Eve, I went to my friend house for joined the party until 2. 00 am., Thai food again. I called my dad, he lived in Thailand who gave warm wording like “good health, good job, take care yourself, and more money”. It was mannerism for elder to young people. New Year day, I went to the temple on the Broadway Street. We gave the food for the Monk and we chanted. This is Thai culture because it is the first day of the year and people are following the good thing.

  • I spent the holiday season with my friend from Germany. She came to America on December 26th and I met her in San Francisco.
    After a few days we rent a car and drove down the coast. We have slept over in San Simeon and we also have spent one day in Santa Barbara before we arrived in Los Angeles on New Years Eve.
    Because of the rainy weather in LA we decided to leave one day earlier than we planed.
    Our last stop was in Las Vegas. It is just an amazing place and the weather was friendly warm.
    It was one of the most interested and most stressly holiday season I have ever had.

  • Digital music....I think that's a very good way to avoid piracy, but once you start to download musics for free,you will not want to pay for your favorite songs ever...anyway I download a lot of musics but I don't pay, I don't want give up this kind of " freedom ",What I can I do???

    By Blogger isabela, at 8:13 AM  

  • I love music, I prefer to buy a CD than digital music, is nothing againts it but for my is better to have my own CDS. Last month I downloaded a ring tone for my cell phone and I did it becuse I don't like the ones that I have, It was convenience for me because I could chose the song that I like it.

We were in Cayo hueso and we met a lot of latinos from diferent parts of south America.

  • There is not a lot about digital music I can tell you. I used to get my digital music from friends. My brother and most of my friends could give much more information about digital music, how and where to download your digital music.
    I think the biggest problem about this new way to get music is the piracy. Right now everybody is concerned aboud the illegal downloads. The music industy I think overslept to spop the piracy in the beginning.
    What else can I say about digital music? It is a good way to get your music. Everything and everybody is online now. You can buy and sell almost everything in the internet. You can even make appointments for your haircut, doctor...
    It is an easy and fast way to make everything with the internet, but I am one of the people who like to go shopping in a real shop. I like the possibilities we have and I think you should find a good balance.

    By Blogger karinbeck, at 8:17 AM  

  • I'm defenitly not an Internet lover. That's why i'm not really interesting in digital music. I can play any kind of music if i like it. It could be even old tape or casette. But for a lot of people Internet is very helpfull tool, especially if their profession conect with music. Today you can easily do whatever you want with the help of the interent, music industry including. But sometimes it's not only helpfull, but it also makes a lot of problems (like pirating ) and we have to deal with it.

    By Blogger natalia, at 8:17 AM  

  • Well I think there is nothing wrong with downloading music from online as long as you paid for it. Personally I never download music from internet but I do know some people who can do it for me. If you just download it without pay for it then thats going to be a different story. That is just the same like stealing. Sometimes I do like to download ringtones for my cellphone, but like what I said, I paid for it. So it is your decision to do the right thing or not, pay for it or steal it.

    By Blogger Shanttyy, at 8:19 AM  

  • As today, I haven't even download so far any kind of music over the internet,but for sure I will do it in the future. I know that I will have to go over all the legal ways to do it, otherwise I will be in trouble, which I don't want to have any kin of problems around my life. I sure know a lot of people who has been downloading some music bot ways, legally and ilegally. I know these people sooner or latter will have some problems. So the best way to do it, is follow the rules of the game. This industry has been growing so fast in the last years and is expecting to keep growing astonomically in the years to come. But the same way it has to increase the ways to protect some peoples rights.

  • people who are buying music online are helpping to increase the records companies earns, and at the same time are fighting agains the piracy, I think buying music on line it is more convenient because you can chose the songs you like from the CDs, in the other hand it is cheap doing it this way. Unfortunally I do it the wrong way; I download music ilegally.

    By Blogger gonzalo andrade, at 8:23 AM  

  • There is no doubt that people should not download music illegally,I just want to make a little comment on kazaa for example,I believe that sharing these kinds of files is not one hundred percent bad,since singers make big bucks on young people,I don't think they are going to be poor any time soon.

  • Hi, I just felt like I wanted to write something, and here I come: THE WORLD CUP
    I'd like to tell you something about this event that is going to happen in Germany during the summer of 2006. There will be 32 teams from all over the world trying to win this marvelous cup.
    There will be 14 teams from Europe, 8 teams from America, 5 teams from Africa, 2 teams from Middle East, and 3 teams from Asia. There's a lot of teams with a high chance to win this tournament, like Germany , Argentina, France, Brazil. At the end, I think Brazil will rise the championship cup, because they are the only team that has won 5 times this trophy before. And besides that they have the most talented soccer players at this moment. Most of them play in European teams, and these teams are highly qualified on their countries.
    This event is followed all over the world for millions of soccer fans through tv, satelite, radio, and many diferent ways to stay in touch with it.
    This event will last a month, from June 09, until July 09-2006.
    If you feel like going to some games, you can find tickets on the internet, prices range from 300 euros for the opening game, until 600 euros for the championship game.
    I forgot to tell you that this is the second time Germany is celebrating this kind of event, the previous one was back on 1974, and the champion was Germany.

  • Please read this article and give your opinion of what it says. Do you think you have gained weight since you moved to the United States.
    http://biz.yahoo.com/weekend/whyfat_1.html

    By Blogger John Lyman, at 7:02 AM  

  • I think our weight problems come from a few things. First of all, we just eat more. It is getting more and more "normal" to eat large portions, even though the human body wasn't made to ingest so much food. Second, we tend to eat less healthy foods. We are bombarded by options and easy access to unhealthy foods and we often succumb to desire. Two other things affect our weight significantly. One, we generally drive instead of walking or riding a bike, (or we take public transportation). Two, we don't exercise as much as we should. Americans and everyone who lives in America seem to dedicate too much time to work and not enough time to play!

  • How we gat fat
    This is a very interesting subject. Geting fat it is very easy if we are don't pay atention what we eat.This is the first thing and the other one it is if we don't get enough exercises. Most of the people they don't realy care what they eat because it is cheap and thaisty they don't realise that peace of food how many calore it contains. Most of the people they eat during the evening because than they have dinner and after that sitting in front of the Tv and eating junk foods. So after that they are going to sleep and that's it for them. They don't move after that and they give less work for the stomak wich it can not burn all the foods and it's gething all over the body.And gething some extra pounds it is more harden than to lose them. Becase it's come with lots of effort to work out. And eating unheathy we are risk our health. So the over weight people for who it is more harder to lose weight than the less over weight people the are going under the knife I mean surgery wich it is dangerous to. I know there are some very lucky people who they can eat what ever they whant and they don't get fat. And there is an other thing even if you lose your extra pounds you have to be very carefully because you can get them back so easyly like how did you lose them if you don't pay attention what you eat again after losing weingt.

  • There are a lot of reasons why people often gain weight when they move to the U.S. I am here since 5 month and I can tell you about my experience. Everybody in Germany told me to be carefull about the things to eat in the U.S. Since I came here I allways tried to look what I am eating. In my hostfamily they are really concernt about healthy food and I am glat to have a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables. I started to eat much less and much healthier here in the States but I have the feeling it doesn't help. I never had so much weight like now and I just hope to loose it when I will go back to Germany. I don't want to make a real strong diet and of course sometimes I want to eat chocolate, chips or even a burger. When I think about my eating habits in Germany it is unbelievable how I could gain weight in such a short time with all the fruits and vegetables and all the fresh cooked meals. I realy don't want to know exactly how this could happened. What is different between fruits in the U.S. and Germany? How do they manipulate the things? Could it be realy healthy what I am eating?

    By Blogger karinbeck, at 7:51 AM  

  • Hi, my point of view about this teme is the next:
    We gain a lot of weight when we come to this country due to 2 simply reasons; first we need to do a lot of exercise and watch what we are eating.
    On the eating thing, we are kind of blind people, and let ourselves go into the marketing war of a lot of companies, like Mc'Donalds, Burger King, with all the "ofers" they get, like if you get a bigger size french fries for only 25 cents. more, and also they are offering a bigger pop, which these two items have a hundredths of calories that go straight to some places where we don't want to increase the size of our body.
    And the other reason is that we barely do some exercise, for instanse in my case, I used to do a lot of exersie back in my country, and when I came to this country I kept doing it for a few years, until I stoped for either the "winter" or beeing lazy, I mean after all that hard work that I had on those days. I'm an overweight prson, my BMI is around 28, so that means that I have around 20 pounds over on my body.
    I know that there's thousandths of american dieing every year because of this problem, and I don't want be part of the statistic on the years to come.

    By Blogger martin, at 7:58 AM  

  • In my opinion,when people move to this country, we have to work and there is no time to cook healthy food every day, it is easy for some people to buy fast food or canned food, then is when people get fat, plus they don't exercise, and after work, they are tired and don't feel like walk or do some extra exercise, they are watching tv, or they don't have time to go to the gym or out for a walk. I think it is also because of the age, people grow up and get older their body and metabolism change and people start gaining weight, there are also different facts that cause gaining weith, could be medical and emotional problems. I would recomend to exercise, drink water and eat more vegetables and fruits.

    By Blogger EVODIA, at 7:58 AM  

  • As everybody I have "good" experiance how to get fat.It's happened when I'm depresed.Then I started eating a lot of sweet things like ice creem and chocolate and I gain the weight very fast.That made me angry and sad.So finally I decide to become a vegetarian.I've red a lot of books and I learned what I have to eat to be in good shape and healty.We have to eat to be alive not live for purpose to eat.

  • How we get fat

    Many people in the rich country get more weight than poor country. The people live in the different region, which eat variety of food. For example, people in the cold country like the U.S.A., they eat more food, because they need more energy to protect themselves from the cold winter. The food is including more fat and sugar that make people fat. In the other hand, people live in the tropical area. They don’t need more energy, because the weather is hot. Energy burning is very important too, because it depends on the metabolism of people. Some people have a good, but some people haven’t. The reasons of overweighs are region, food, and energy burning.

  • well,about that issue, i guess that this happens because of the way of life in the usa,everything here is made easier for it's population,so one thing drags the other, for an instance,it's ease to build your credit,to buy a car,thus for sure it is ease to buy a lot of food.my suggestion ''exercise''.

  • How do we get fat
    we get fat because of the fast food that we eat and besides we don't exercise every often that why the. And some of us is because our family has been fat per along time

  • I think people get fat for three reasons: first, eating unneccessery excces food.it means to eat more than three times or eat junky greessy food when ever needed. second, not to exercise at all.especilay,those who sit on the couch waching TV most of their time and eat pop corn. another reason why people in america get fat is that every thing we put in our mouth has a chemicle.

  • I think our problem for gettin over weight is because we haven't being educated the raight way about our eatting habits.It could be to because we are living in a country were we have to work hard y bearly we have time for our self, some people they work two shifts and at the moment of eatting they want an easy food , something that you can have ready in seconds, because they don't have time to cook something healthy. Some other people the gain weight after cuitting smoking, this is somethin that I being watching on my self.

  • A lot of food in the U.S.A. made from chesses and sugar. These foods make people get fat. First time in the U.S.A. most people like to try the new food that is junk food and a problem of time to work. They are in a hurry then they haven’t to eat. They must eat a junk food that makes short time, so make them fat. Most people have to work hard. They haven’t time to exercise. Then they get weight more and more. Next, they want to gain weight.

  • Getting fat bady in this country is too easy for people. Even thought in early edge.very young kids can hava money from somebady and desides buying any junk food. But in pour countries like Mexico children can not buy food for them self, they usually eat at home, fresh and clean food. Any ways i think the fat problem can be solved wiht a good education.

  • How We Get Fat.

    Everybody in this life must do his best to control himself especially when it consern the quality and quatity of the food to eat daily. But most of people don't care about it. In result they sem suprised when they reach where they don't want to be or what they don't want to become. I mean when they gain weight and become big body or fat body. That unconfortable situation is most of the time common in developed countries and occurs for many reasons.
    First,the level of richest,the way we get food easily and take food without self-control are involved.

    By Blogger koffitse, at 8:15 AM  

  • In my opinion,why people often gain weight. Because they live in America who get fat very easy,at first,they eat sweet food a lot,such as candys,cakes,cooks ct. second,they eat hamburg,fried pototo,and donut every day,third, they don't excite any time,because they almost have cars to go anywhere,those people who don't walk. For these reason,they gain weight that is easy.

    By Blogger lingwang, at 8:16 AM  

  • In my opinion, I think the peopole gaing weight when they move to U.S. because they change their habits to eat since the schedulle stil the quantity, also the food quality is poor.
    Also the people all the time is runing and they don't have time to cook or prepare something healthy for lunch.
    I think,is very important to be more educate about this issue.

    By Blogger bertha57, at 8:16 AM  

  • A lot's of people gain wight because they dont care what they eat.They eat food with a lot of calories and calories come from fat and sugar.Some of them gain weight they got stresst out because of:personal problems,jobs,financial problems,family.Women usualy gain weight when they are pregnant,they have to eat a lot for the baby so they can have halthy baby.By old people metobolism slows down by age and they don't have enaf energy to exercise.Personaly obaut me,when i came to USA i lost weight.The live for me hire is very busy,most of the time i spend working,go to school,family.

  • How do we get fat easily in the U S ?.Daily we are watching the news,and getting information from diferent medium comunications or from people who used to live with this problem. But the real question is not hoW we can get fat but,how we can fight against this disease. And if we already Know that we can get fat easily eating on the fast food places and doing no exercises ,or daily when we use the elctric stairs,the elevator,the car when is not too necesary ,in fact if we dont ask to a Doctor how we can prevent this popular disease, and we dont start early before we get into this circle, we really have to know that,finally if we dont do something at time by ourselfs .Because it can finish in tragedy!!!!.

  • I think the two major reasons to get weight are getting too much calories and less exercise to consume the energy. In U.S., the two distinctive characteristics are corresponding to them. The large variety of junk foods is ascribable to the high enery intake of American people and the development of the motor vehicles is the another mechanism of making people get huge adipose tissue. Do not eat more than your body wants! Let's walk to the college getting up much earlier. These are the my suggestions to prevent from getting too much weight, but the hardest parts to be accomplished in our daily life.

  • In my opinion peolpe get fat when they move to U.S. Because their life chance in diferents ways for example they eat junk food; they do not do exercises; they eat more calories; they drink excessive alcohol or they have in their genes. But in my case I do not have any trouble with my weigth.

  • John, I think that the people like me who move to US gain weight easily because we are in a world totally different that we were accostumbrate, where you are starting a new live in a place where everybody is running and is neccesary gain the time and you can't spend long time cooking.
    The fast food is easy to get and cheap and you can have many kind of that.
    And when I arrived to US I only was thinking in working, working and eating, eating, trying new tastes and food, because here you can have food from around the world, also when I was nervous and depressing sometimes I was eating more and more and another times I was not hungry and I never running or exercised.
    But according with the steps of the time I could notice about my weight and I intersted in a good look plus in get a better life in all the kinds. I started to read about health life, running, going to the gym and finally I went to the doctor for have a check exam and be sure about my health.
    I'm changing my bad habits for eat step by step and always I'm watching my weight, I enjoy running, going to the gym and I'm always trying to eat healthy food.
    I think here in US you can gain weight easily but also you can take care about your healthy because as we can have fast food as we can have many kinds of help about get a healthy life.

  • Thousands of people here in the U.S are overweight.I was surprised when I arrived here beause, I didn't realized that a lot of people here are overweight than in my country. Maybe,the food that we eat here are fresh and more vitamins.I admit that beause of the economy too.Here you can eat and buy whatever you want but in my country not.And I admit also that I'm the one wants to gain weight.

  • It is simplistic in the extreme to assume that obesity occurs as a result of overeating and under-exercising, and nothing else. There is in fact a wide range of psychological, physiological, medical and genetic factors which can have great bearing on an individual's capacity to gain, or lose, weight.
    Women gain excess weight more rapidly than men, perhaps for metabolic reasons related to their lower lean body mass.
