How to do a delicious strawberry frappe :)

      The frappe is a very refreshing and a fantastic drink, and there's an facile way to do it with your typical ingredients. The good thing about this is that there's no prospect of going wrong and if it does you can add a little more of something and make it all better. All you need is a blender, frozen strawberries, a long spoon and orange juice(or any other juice of your choice). First thing to do is to connect the blender to any electrical plug. After that, you should start by adding four temperate cups of juice into the blender and then a cup full of strawberries. When you turn on the blender, you should start of easy, until you end up on the highest button on the blender. If you see it clumped up, all you have to do is get a spoon and start mixing it until is nice and smooth. If it's thick, just add a small amount of orange juice and turn on the blender. You know it's done when you see it's very smooth and nice which can be eventually. Voila! There you have it a easy, homemade strawberry frappe.

Giraffes

       What's your favorite animal? Without hesitation I would immediately say giraffe. These animals are so fascinating, elegant and most of all beautiful. Believe it or not, there's a story behind my big fascination towards this animals. When I was little, I was always the tallest and skinniest girl in school. People would degrade me by calling me names like toothpick, spaghetti, stick, and other skinny related names. The nickname that always hit me hard was giraffe. When I heard that name, I didn't know what to think. Most of the time, I would cry after school because of this nicknames. My mom always placate me, "Bea, have you ever heard of anyone saying how ugly giraffes are or they are such stupid animals? No. You shouldn't take that as an insult, you should take that as a compliment." After podering what my mom said, I eventually fell in love with these creatures. Ever since I was proud to be called all those names, especially giraffes. Giraffes are and will always be my favorite animal. My love and fidelity for them is unexplainable and I relish the moment that my mom said such a thing.

Commercial models vs. high fashion models

     The modeling world is an immense world itself. There are a variety of areas for the model to distinguish themselves and the people interested in the fashion industry. People don't know the difference between commercial modeling and high fashion modeling. The commercial models have to show more emotion in a energetic way so it can show what the producers or photographers wants while the high fashion models have to show no emotion or unorthodox expressions. In commercials, the model have to sell the product and stimulate peoples mind by acting or by her expression while the high fashion model represent a mannequin to sell the products. Even thought both of these are not so similar, both areas are equally as hard working and challenging where the result of both of them are phenomenal work of arts that are beloved by those who are interested in this world.

Deforestation

        Deforestation has been a colossal problem in our society. The deforestation, most of the time, is used to clean an specific area so that it can be constructed. It may seem something harmless but in reality, this can cause an immense damage not only to the affected area but also to its surroundings. Men, instead of using areas that have been abandon and neglected that can be reconstructed, they choose to cut down trees without knowing what kind of bad things they are doing to the environment. By cutting down trees, many animals are discarded and brutally forced to leave their habitats. Many die because they can't find a proper habitat near the area or because they are simply killed during the deforestation. This is one of the reasons why we can find many endangered species. Also, we are cutting down our air resource because tress are filters for us. By cutting down the trees means less fresh air for us and more air pollution. Its frighting how instead of making beneficial decisions we are not only endangering the environment we are also endangering ourselves. My stomach turns on how our society is turning out to be.

In a cold, dark night...

  It was a typical, silent night at the Faisca's house. Beatriz was reading a very intriguing book in the living room. After a couple of hours, she heard a frightful sound coming from outside. She jumped off her seat and started walking toward the door. When she was near the door, she heard the sound again, this time she realized that the sound were knocks. She open the door and saw an old man standing on her porch.

Beatriz: Hello?

Old man: Excuse my impoliteness. I am very sorry if I woke you up.

B: Don't worry. I suffer from insomnia and I wasn't planning to go to bed anytime soon. What is it you need help?

M: I was walking around the neighborhood looking for this address.

The old man hands her a piece of paper.

B: Well, you came to the right place.What brings you here?

M: I came here because of friend told me that this house was phenomenal and I have to admit, it's pretty immense

B: Thank you! I am very flattered. Care to come in?

M: I would love to but I don't have much time.

B: That's a bummer. If you don't mind, may I ask you why are you wandering around the neighborhood at this time of hour?

M: Because it's the only time I have... You see, people like me only have the night to do the things I need to do.

B: What kind of things?

M: Make important visits and give out messages. Wow, I haven't realized how much you've grown. It is amazing how time flies. 

B: Do I know you from somewhere? You look very familiar.

M: Oh, Beatriz! I wish I could answer all of your questions. I'm very glad to see you and I wanted to tell you how much I love you and miss you.

B: How do you know my name? Who are you?

M: You will know soon enough.

      Ring, ring. The phone started to ring and Beatriz turned her head quickly inside. When she returned her attention to the old man, he had vanished. He left nothing but a picture turn upside down. When she grabs the picture and observes it, she could see the old man with a little girl in his arms. Looking at the familiar picture, she then realizes that the little girl was her and the old mas was...

B: Grandpa!

     A tear started running down her cheek after realizing she talked to the ghost of her beloved grandfather. 

B: If only I knew, I would've told you many things. I love you too and miss you more than anything.
