Brain Teaser

November 4, 2009

As you are walking down Limit Road, you see a mysterious smiling old man with a Boston Red Sox hat on.  You continue to walk on your path and you trip on the pavement because there was a small snail on the floor. You turn around and  happen to glance in his direction again because you wanted to see if he noticed when you fell, for you feel that maybe you know him. Seeing that he did not, you continue walking. In the matter of a second, he is across the street walking behind you.  Bewildered by this, you refocus on the path in front of you and start walking faster because you think he is following you.  As your eyes meet the end of the street, you notice a car crash on the corner, so you began to run to see.  The man begins to run too so now you know there is something wierd about this man.  When you reached the corner to see the accident, you began to think to yourself, “How could he ever move that fast, and now he is standing in right behind me!?”  Without him saying a word, he taps you on your shoulder and takes off his hat and says ” I noticed you was looking towards me , so I crossed the street to tell you that your shoes were untied.”

College Outlook ; Industrial & Vocational Arts

November 2, 2009

In the past years, jobs all around the United States have become scarse . Many people are un-employed and seeking for jobs daily. With a college level education, it is easier to locate jobs because less people can work in jobs with higher requirements (ex: doctors, lawyers, and policemen).

Some jobs become easier to start on then others. For example, anything under the Industrial & Vocational arts is a better and easier job to find. These are types of jobs that will never run out of things to do. These jobs are carried out on a daily bases, meaning people practice them and need them everyday.

10 Things That Make Me Laugh

October 5, 2009

man laughing

1. AMFV’s

• Every time I see Someone trip or fall on those videos it is just so hilarious. All you here is the person in the background,recording it , laughing hysterically.

2.The Cleveland Show

•Rilo is like the funniest character on the show. I love the way they make him seem like an adult when he’s only like 1 year old.

3.Spongebob

• The reason I find this show funny because the things they do are so dumb. They are suppose to be adults in a way, and at the same time they are little kids.

4. Michael Ward

• He has an nag for memorizing jokes he sees on t.v. It is like a natural thing he has that he just remembers all the jokes he sees on t.v. He says them exactly as they are said on t.v , its just so funny to watch and listen.

5. Friend Kenny M.

• He’s just naturally funny. He actually comes up with his jokes. He does not get them off anywhere. I could try saying his jokes but it would not be the same, everyone just stays quiet and all you here is crickets in the background.

6.  Baby’s Laugh

• This has to be one of the most funniest things ever. A Baby can never laugh correctly,  it stops to breath like every split second it laughs its just so funny !

7. Natasha Saldarriaga

• She always says she makes me blush because she compliments me, but that is  not true. She is the one who gets serious every time I say something to her, so that makes me laugh. She puts the most lost face ever, like if she just saw a ghost or something.

8. My father’s angry face

• My father can never be serious about anything. He can try to put a serious face but just seeing him try makes me laugh and that really gets him mad. Then after that I should stop smiling and be the serious one. That is if I want to stay neutral with him.

9.  Online Playstation 3

• The best thing to do while your playing online is to  listen to what all the other players say inside the chat rooms during a game. They come up with the craziest things that are just hysterical. When someone might say something stupid, the other person just comes in,makes fun at what they said, and starts a jokes out of it, making the whole chat room go crazy in laughs.

10.Full House

• Even after many years, I still love watching this how. Everyone on it is just so funny. I have the best time on saturday mornings watching this show and all its wonderful jokes. By the time the clockstrikes 12 my stomach hurts from so much laughing. It is just such a great way to start your saturday morning.

Earthquake strikes Indonesia

October 1, 2009

In the early morning , an earthquake struck Indonesia that killed about 500 people, injured more than 500, and caused massive destruction for revolving areas. “The 6.8 magnitude quake Thursday hit South Sumatra at 8:52 a.m. local time (9:52 p.m. Wednesday ET), about 89 miles (143 kilometers) from Bengkulu, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. The earlier quake Wednesday was 7.6 magnitude.” quoted from local CNN. Many people were still missing other than those who were dead and those who had injuries. Many people think they might be under collapsed house or buildings. “Worst hit was the West Sumatran capital of Padang, where officials estimate 376 people perished.” said one official.  On Thursday, many people were wandering the streets of Padang “stunned and dazed,” said CNN’s Mark Phillips. Some were searching the rubble for survivors, he said, but “there’s also a feeling that there aren’t that many survivors left.” “We had aid ready because this area of Indonesia is susceptible to this type of tragedy,” said Jane Cocking, humanitarian director for Oxfam. “Communications with the quake-zone are difficult, and we are hoping for the best but having to plan for the worst.”

Correct Posture

September 29, 2009

Can you do these stretches sitting down or standing up?

• You can do them standing up or sitting down either or doesn’t matter.


What posture should you always begin at?

• You should start standing up and taking a good deep breath.Then stretch your arms out like if you were yawning continuously.

Why is breathing helpful?

• It calms you down and sends a good amount of blood flow through your arms so that you don’t cramp up.

•Choose three of these stretches as your favorite.  Why did you select them?

• The Imagination Stretch- It is helpful for me because I have shoulder problems so when I stretch my shoulder blades out, it relaxes the muscles.

• Eye-lid Stretch- This exercise makes my eyes feel better so that when I finish using the computer, I don’t feel like I can’t close my eyes.

•  Head Rotation- Good for the blood vessels that circulate your upper back and neck muscles.

• Side-winder- Stretches out the side muscles around your rib cage giving you and easy feeling so that you do not cramp up while sitting up strait.

Why I chose SMHS

September 25, 2009

It was not really my idea to come to this school, but after being here for a while I just got used to it and now I like it. Since the end of my eight grade year, my parents told me I was going to attend this school because they felt it was the best school around this area with many opportunities for me. With time, I realized they were correct. Now I would not want to be in any other school. St. Mary High School is the place for me !

Bad-Posture

September 24, 2009

bad-postureSo I went on google and I searched up bad-posture. I found many good results, but i chose  to stick with one site because it had a little bit more than the other sites.(www.Mortonsfoot.com)

Most people do not notice how bad it is to sit wrong or to have bad-posture. Bad-Posture can usually blame your feet. If you do not have both feet flat on the ground it affects your back. Also your back tends to slouch and doing all this makes your body go off balance and it gradually damages it. Everyone always chooses the comfortable position but they do not know that sometimes it just comfortable but its bad for you, for example laying back on your chair , it is not good to put that pressure on your back but people tend to do it just because it feels comfortable.Be aware of your posture, straighten your back, lift your chest, and roll your shoulders back  so your stomach and behind are tucked in. This will help improve your posture.  You will have a hard time getting used to it but after a while it will become easy.
