Do you know the word bibliophobia?




Bibliophobia, is a common phobia that most people don't even know that they have. Bibliophobia is commonly known as the fear of books. The symptoms of this phobia include breathlessness, dizziness, dry mouth, excessive sweating, nausea, feeling sick, heart palpitations, inability to speak of think clearly, a fear of dying, becoming mad or losing control, a sensation of detachment from reality of a full blown anxiety attack. The real meaning of Bibliophobia is a fear of something that has no real danger. Bibliophobia can cause disruptions at work, school, and in social relations.Some of us think we have it when we try to do our homework.I may have that,because i don't like to read jejejejejejje...:)

Sailor Moon



Sailormoon is an anime series which was created by Takeuchi Naoko. It started out as a small section in a Japanese Magazine called Runrun.

Soon an animation was done on the Sailormoon story, which was also a success, and it was translated into many other languages. The anime, Sailormoon and her fellow crimefighters for justice.

Sailormoon is basically about a 14-year old girl named Tsukino Usagi who is very unwilling at first, but grows more responsible and very strong-willed as the story progresses. She transforms using her several compacts to Sailormoon, fighting evil, with the help of her talking pet cat Luna . She also gets additional help from the other sailor soldiers as the story progresses. I love this cartoon, because it has a lot of action and love.

Sailor Moon was big in the US, Canada , and other countries(Peru,..,...).
If you haven't seen an episode of Sailormoon yet,you don't know what you are missing.

Tabaco




Tobacco use and smoking are very dangerous addictions which cause a wide variety of diseases, cancer and death. The majority of tobacco users and smokers are hooked when they are children. During this time period they are easily influenced by advertising. Once hooked, the majority of tobacco users become hopelessly addicted.

More than 5 million children living today will die prematurely because of a decision they will make as adolescents---the decision to use tobacco and smoke cigarettes.

The Country of Jamaica may use the above picture on cigarette packages(tumor on the neck), so children wont be easily influenced by advertising. I think it is a good idea, United States should do the same, it may help a lot of people with this addiction.

Papa a la Huancaina



I love this dish. Papa a la Huancaína is dish of sliced potatoes covered in a spicy cheese sauce. It's delicious made with yellow or white potatoes. If you prefer a spicier sauce, add an extra yellow chile pepper and it is typically served cold.If you want to make it, you may need those ingredients: 8 yellow or while potatoes,
Huancaína sauce(cheese, crackers,milk, and yellow peppers), lettuce leaves, 2 hard-boiled eggs, 8 large black olives then the preparation. First, heat a large pot of salted water to boiling and add the potatoes. Second, boil potatoes until tender when pierced with a fork. Third, drain water from potatoes and slice the potatoes and arrange on top of the lettuce leaves. The last, is pour huancaína sauce over potatoes, and garnish with slices of hard-boiled egg and black olive halves, so i hope you enjoy it.

Our Cat




Before my family and I moved to the United States, we lived in Peru. When we were growing up, we had a cat named Maria. Maria was a black cat and was a lot of fun to play with when she was little. When she got older though, she stopped being fun and instead enjoyed being by herself instead, which was alright because most of us were very busy most of the day. There was just one problem, the kittens, Maria always seemed to be having babies. I think that in the years that we had her, it would be fair to say she had 30 kittens. The reason for this was because unlike the United States in Peru, animals live outside and are given a lot of freedom and at night all the cats in the neighborhood would get together on the roofs of the houses. There were also many markets in Lima and so if a cat was hungry, it could just steal something, so because of this many strays also lived in the area. The biggest problem with that, was Maria was the only female cat in the neighborhood. In the end my parents were forced to get rid of Maria and her kittens, because it would have been impossible to afford to keep them.

Do you know people in Mexico, eat bugs?



I was watching the news in the morning when i saw a story about a group of mexicans eat bugs , it was a story that grabbed my attention,because i hate bugs.It was about the Carrillos Family. They said bugs are a regular part of their diet, they also said "They taste a little like grasshoppers."

Carrillos' family fry the green caterpillars called "cuchama." They sell some, though they're available only a couple of months a year and don't provide much income.

Each bug has its own distinct taste from the spicy, leggy bodies of locusts; the crusty, french-fried caterpillars; or bursting, buttery ant eggs which are more of an acquired taste, insect cuisine is winning converts in a variety of ways.

Consider locusts, covered in chocolate or sweet sauce, and worms, in Jell-O or clear, hard candy.The mexican kids love it, and so do people all over the world.

Horoscope (capricornio)



My horoscope said, today i may feel wonderful without being able to attribute the feeling to any real event. I have to improve, my way of relating to others: i have to open my heart and not fight any feelings I have. It also is not a good time to aspire to progress at work, i must be cautious in handling money, and i have to avoid sweets and fried food. i need a better diet.i know..... :(
I don't necessarily believe that it is true, but it is entertaining.
