Tastes, customs and confusing translations have distanced them from their historical origins. Ancient traditional birthstones are society-based birthstones. Early civilizations, such as those in India and Babylon, have attributed gemstones with magical properties and especially to their relationship with the signs of the zodiac.

What causes a Deja Vu episode???

There are several possible explanations for what is occuring during a Deja Vu experience. One possibility is simply the occasional mismatch made by the brain in its continuous attempt to create whole sensical pictures out of very small pieces of information. Looking at memory as a hologram, only bits of sensory information are needed for the brain to reconstruct entire three-dimensional images. When the brain receives a small sensory input that is strikingly similar to such a detail experienced in the past, the entire memory image is brought forward. The brain has taken the past to be the present by virtue of one tiny bit of sensory information. This theory provides a satisfactory explanation for the physical effects of Deja Vu. These appear to be similar to the effects of mismatch between sensory input and corollary discharge signal information to the brain. Another explanation for Deja Vu is that there is a slight malfunctioning between the long and the short term memory circuits of the brain. When this new, recent piece of information is draw upon, the person thinks that the piece is coming from long-term storage and so must have come from the distant past. All of these neurobiologically based explanations for Deja Vu seem plausible and intriguing and perhaps there is some overlap or combination that accounts for the different experiences we call Deja Vu.

Mardi Gra Parade Day

I was so excited when my parents told me that we were going to the mardi gra parade in universal studios. I waited for many years and said " one day I will go to this parade and have so much fun" and it did happened. First we went to the park it was like three o'clock and it was a very hot day for me. We entered the park and everyone in their were dressed up normal with their beads and hats for the event. We rode all the attractions in the park and I was tired and hungry, so we kept walking. Finally we stopped and entered a store that sells mardi gra accessories because my father had to use the men's room. Me and my mom wanted to buy something in the store because we only necklaces, so we bought masks with light. It was six o'clock, so we entered this hamburger place that only serves hamburgers and a variety of sodas like vanilla coca-cola, orange sprite, vanilla sprite, grape coca-cola, etc. The hamburgers there were delicious, it was different from other hamburgers and there was a salad bar were I put all lettuce and tomatoes I want in the hamburger. When we finished eating we sat on the side walk were the parade was going to be. It was eight o'clock and the parade started, it was so beautiful that I recorded it all. Beads thrown at you collect them, confetti being pop out by surprise, beautiful floats passing around, people dressed up in the spirit of mardi gra, music put into load volume, and even drunk people were fascinating too. It's a wonderful experience that everyone should have in their memories and enjoy it with the family. ! CATCH THE BEADS, THE MUSIC, AND THE SPIRIT!!!!

Friday 2, 2012

It was a boring day for me. I was just sitting at home doing nothing, in my computer, and looking at my parents faces. I was doing laundry also and cleaning the house. The night came and we went to the contemporary hotel at disney to visit a friend of my father. He came to vacation for only 3 days with his wife and kids and had just arrived from the airport, so he invited us for dinner to see him. It was 9:30 pm and all the restaurants in the 4th floor were closed, so we went to the restaurant in the 1st floor that it was open until 11:00 pm. We went inside, sat in the table, looked at the menu, and ordered what we liked. The majority us in the table ordered pasta including me and the others, well, they ordered meat with potatoes. When everybody finished ordering their foods, we started talking to get to know each other and know a little bit of everyone. The food came and I started eating my pasta, and it was delicious a bit spicy, but delicious. We finished eating, paid the ticket, said our good byes, and everyone went home including me and my family. Even though my day was boring, my night was fun and interesting. Always have fun no matter what.!

Why do people give flowers on Valentines?

With the air soon to be filled with the love of valentines day, you may be thinking that you need to head to the store for some flowers for your special valentines' day guy or gal. After all, even if you forget the present, forget the note, and forget the name of the person the flowers are meant for the one thing you should never forget is the valentines' day flowers. Flowers have been a special part of valentines' day for as long as most of us can remember. Maybe is because a red rose symbolizes love, maybe is because girls are supposed to like flowers, or maybe its because flowers are the easiest thing to grab in a hurry next to chocolate for those who do forget until they are about to head home. that's why!

That was not ti'll the cold wind stoke us and decided to leave and leave the walking for another less windy moment. we said our goodbyes, well I said my goodbyes in the car because it was freezing cold and so we fled to our homes with a great memory of another beautiful Valentines' Day.

My Time in Old Town

Me and my family, we wen't to old town to past the time together and to antique cars and parade. First we were looking for parking but the parking lot was very full. My mom tried to pass the car line that was in the parking lot but when she tried she honked the car for the other that passing and the owner of the told her " shut up" and my mom well she said " you shut up" and we left. So after my mom found a parking we went to eat wings and pizza at Flippers Pizzeria, yet the food was delicious and the desert too, uuuummm!!!. We walked to see the cars and the stores. Looked at all the accessories they haved. There was one store I entered that I really liked, the store sells like weired rocks, dreamcachers, and even carved statues. And I only bought a rock necklace with the first letter of my first name and a matching rock ring with the first letter of my last name and its both very beautiful. And so keept walking, looking, and laughing. When we turned back to watch the car parade all the sidewalks were full that we had find a space to watch it and it was a very long parade that we were tired of standing up. We left the parade after it finished and went back home with all the great fine moments. Eating pizza was great but eating with my family, telling jokes, and walking with them to see old cars was even greater and i'm glad that took the time to be with them. Like I say " LIFE IS SHORT, LET EVERY MOMENT COUNT ".
