Post # 4 - Going to Extremes: Sports and Obsessions

Hi everyone,

I don't think I have any obsession but I have to admit that I used to be spend many hours at the gym before but, I never felt that became an obsession or probable I did,  I am not pretty sure but here is a little bit more about one of my hobbies and you can tell me, if it was an obsession or not.

I start going to the gym about 2 years ago and that was when I only used to work and I used to have free time.  At the beginning, I couldn't go more than 3 hours per week but when I felt my body more conformable (no more muscles pain) I increased more hours.  A year later, I found me doing it for about 9 to 10 hour per week.  I was impressed.  I have to not pressure myself, I just enjoyed it and I discovered an interesting class that got me hooked on.  Body Jam, it is a cardio workout class with different styles of music from some ballet moves to salsa or cha cha cha, basically a dance class.  I could miss any class but not that one, that was my favorite one but actually I had to leave it because I do not have time anymore.  Between school, my part time job and homework, it is not possible for me.  Any ways, it was good while it lasted because, I could increase my cardiovascular fitness, improve my life style and the best of all, I was not sick for a long time, I mean no cold, no cough, no too much headaches, no stomach problems and the stress disappeared far.  It was really beneficial in all the aspects physically and mentally and burning a lot of calories at the same time, Not bad eh?  I really enjoyed it.

Here is a Body Jam video with one of my favorites release.  I hope you enjoy and do not forget send me your opinion.  Do you think if I was obsess or not?
Thanks,

Post # 3 - Fraud

When I think about other people is enjoying at the expenses of your effort, making believe you are helping a sick person with the hopefulness that maybe you could save a life but everything was not true, my first feeling is indignation.  Unfortunately, in my country exists plenty of fraudulent cases like impersonation, identity theft, bank fraud, employment fraud, ghost business, duplicate documents illegally, deceive about a close relative is in a trouble with the police or kidnapped and counterfeit money.  The last modality, it is the most common.  I remember, when I was studying in high school, me and my classmates organized an event (selling food) to collect money for our trip at the end of the school.  After a long day of work, we realized a counterfeit bill, we couldn't believe it, somebody deceived us, it was a big hit, because the value of that bill was the half of all the sell, we felt really disappointed. Actually, the police is still working to knock off all kind of fraud many times with good result but still exist, so when we receive exchange in other places that is not from the bank, we always have to check carefully before put into the wallet.

Post # 2: Advertising

Post # 2:  Advertising

Tobacco is the second most used drug in Peru after the alcohol, and Peru is one of the 19 countries that forbid any kind of tobacco advertising.  But, Alcohol beverages are more lucky because they are allowed to be in any kind of adds.  For example, Beer is the most popular alcohol in Peru and other countries and more accessible to everyone and that is because the alcohol producing company support many different events with publicity and marketing.  Actually, TV commercials are the best way to promote this kind of product.  When a alcohol commercial appears on TV, the publicity show a message like this "Drink to much alcohol in excess is harmful" and sometimes they add "If you drink don't drive".  The alcohol producing companies use this advise to educate consumers to be responsible when they drink.

Here is one of the most famous brand

                                    "The World Not Tobacco Day" on May 31rst of every year

So, when you drink do not drive and when you smoke think in your lungs

Something about me

Here are something about me. I'm a typical girl who like spending time with my family and friends.
I have a little brother who live in Peru with my parents.  I don't have cats yet but I used to have many in the past.  Since I have memory, there was always a cat with me.  I'm not available to have cats but in the future I'd like to adopt all the cats that I can have.  My home country is Peru and as a Peruvian I love Peruvian Food but, I'm always willing to try different tastes, specially deserts!!!.  I've been in Canada for about 4 years and I used to be volunteer at Meow Foundation since I came to Calgary.  The reason why I'm studying English is because I want to improve my English skill to  I think it's almost the same like everybody, to improve my English skill and keep going study a career

Another tip of myself, my favorite Band is the Back Street Boys.  There is one of my favorite songs "The Perfect Fan"
