LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES


Most of the people want to live in the United States. Why does a person leave their home country? There are many different reasons. Maybe to get a job, learn another language, live new experiences, join their family or maybe for love. Love is my reason.


I am new in America. I have been here for almost 5 months. I came from Blumenau Santa Catarina Brazil. Blumenau is a small city of Germanic colonization. The population is almost 300,000. Blumenau is famous for their Oktoberfest, it happiness for 17 days in October. It’s the second largest beer fest in the world. The first is in Germany.


Two years ago I met my husband in Blumenau, when he went to Rio de Janeiro to Carnaval. After that he returned to Brazil to be with me several times. But you know, long distance romances usually don’t work. So we decided to get married in the USA. Where? In Las Vegas the most popular place to get married in the USA.


Then I came to America and I arrived in Los Angeles. It’s a complete different life. Beginning with the language, more traffic, different traffic laws, large highways, longer distances between destinations. There are also too many fast food restaurants. Life here is fast. Everybody rushes and works a lot. The government is very complicated. There are many many taxes. The cost of living is very expensive. There is too much burocracy and many immigration documents.


Actually I am studying English because I want to be successful in this country and get a good career. It's a new challenge for me. The life in the United States isn’t like many people think. Most of the people want to live the American Dream, but they don’t really know how hard life is here.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO SPEAK JAPANESE (joke)


The neighbor went to visit his japanese best friend at the Intensive Care Unit, because he had a serious automobile accident.

He found his friend, fill of tubes. There were in his nose, in his arms and all over his small body. He stood close to him, in silent. He was next to his bed watching the sad situation.

Suddenly, the japanese, closed his eyes and started to scream:
        SAKARO AOTA NAKAMY ANYOBA SUSHI, MASHUTA, MASHUTA, MASHUTA!!!!!!!!!

After these words, he opened his mouth and died. The last words from these special friend, he will never forget.

At his funeral, he met his mother and his widow, hugging them, he asked: Mrs. Fumiko and Mrs. Shakita, my friend, seconds before he died, he told me these words that I can't forget.
        SAKARO AOTA NAKAMY ANYOBA SUSHI, MASHUTA, MASHUTA, MASHUTA!!!!!!!

What does it means?

Mrs. Fumiko, immediately fainted and the widow looked at him surprise.

What does it means??? He asked again.

The widow looked at him and said:

       GET OFF THE FREAKING OXYGEN HOSE, YOU IDIOT IDIOT, IDIOT!!!!!!!!

GRANNY'S DAY OUT

GRANNY'S DAY OUT, is a short action  film of a kidnaping. It takes place at the same time that an old and sweet lady ( my mother in law), was out with her nurse at the park. She isn't like other old ladies, she is special, because she is a ninja.

The principal actor, is this sweet old lady, she is a heroine of the film. She saved a couple from the kidnapers, with her ability and her power. It was set in a luxury house in a fine neighborhood. There are many good action scenes.

The film was made in a very short time. The soundtrack is similar to James Bond music, it is not possible that you don't remember those films. The movie  has killers, but not blood, it could have better special effects. I recommend this film, only if you don't have any thing to do.

3.21 minutes
