Self Reflection

June 2nd, 2009

1.  In your opinion, what was the purpose of this blogging activity? (Why did I choose to do blogging instead of more traditional writing activities?)

     I think the purpose of this blog is that it makes your write what you want. It’s not like other activities, when you are forced to write something you usually don’t care about or don’t want to write it. The blog makes you want to write, it gives you the freedom to write your feelings. Like I used my blog to get all my madness in soccer. I really like that because when I write I don’t care about what I write and how much I write. I don’t check how many words I have until the end. In other assignments all I care about is how much I am writing and as soon as I reach the amount of words I usually stop. Unlike the blogs in which I write and keep on writing until I get all my feelings out. Also, you don’t need to write in a boring way. You write what you want, and soccer is part of my life and the teams I choose to talk about, I adore them. So, when I see something going wrong with them I would want to write about them and talk about them, and show the whole world wants wrong about them.

2.  What have you accomplished during your blogging?

     I usually do my assignments at last minute, but then in this blog, it only showed you the date not the time. So then I started to do my stuff early in the morning so I could finish before 12:00 and not get a 0 percent on my blog. I discovered that I am a free writer and that I like to write what is on my mind and that is the best way to write. I also started using new vocabulary words Furthermore my sentence structure got improved compared to my usual. I learned new ways of writing sentences and a better way. I always used to write my sentences in a normal way, because I never knew other ways, but now I learned a new way I can use for my writing. By using these Techniquemy writing looked more professional then it used to be. I never really wrote a lot, I use to think that writing 200 words is a lot, but now when I write without even knowing I write 400 words and it became so easy for me to write at least 400 words.

3.  What key concepts have you learned while blogging? (This can be about writing, research or technology etc.)

     I learned how to use a blog. I never thought that blogging would be my thing, or that I would ever blog. When our teacher Mrs. Rumford first told us that we need to make up a topic of our own. I thought it was going to be so hard, because I would have to think about what am I going to write, and I thought it would be so boring, and just another writing assignment. Then Mrs. Rumford showed us other blogs, and I saw how people wrote and the subjects they wrote about. I saw that they were writing about their feelings. So, I thought to myself that I love soccer, and all my soccer clubs are bad this year, so then I wanted to write about soccer, and after my second blog I started to like blogs a lot, and this is why now I like free writing. And I would prefer to write free writing more than any other writing structures. I didn’t really learn anything new from research because I didn’t really research, I just wrote what’s on my mind then I edit it. I already have information about my team.

4. Based on the skills you learned while blogging, how will this benefit you in the future? This maybe inside or outside of school.

 

     I think this will help me in the future because when I grow up, maybe the company I work for treat the employers unfairly, I have the freedom and courage to write about how they treat us and I could send it to the government to see it. Also, it helped my skills of writing and free writing and this will help me with other classes like social studies my teacher always tells me that I am not suppose to only list facts. Now I can write without listing. In the blog I got to read how people feel, I read things that I never new about that person and it made me feel really sorry for him. I never new that these stuff really happened to him. When I read his feelings and what he have been through I felt really sorry for him, so I started being nicer to him and defending him.  I heard that next year we will need to write a lot in our essays at least three hundred words! For everyone its going to be hard but for me its going to be easier because this year I wrote four hundred words in almost all my essays, so next year I will be prepared for high school and it will be easier for me to write three hundred words.

C.Ronaldo Sucks! Messi is the best

May 23rd, 2009

     C.Ronaldo, the player that everyone thinks is the best! The player that got the best WOMEN player of the year 2008! Oops sorry i forgot he was a man. But I don’t call people like C.Ronaldo men, because no man is going to cry, because he is afraid to go to England! He was afraid to go to England because he scored on England in the World cup, he was afraid to England, so he wouldn’t get killed in England!

      I got admit he has good skills. But, he thinks that he is better then Manchester United, he thinks that he is the best player in the world, just because everyone thinks hes the best. Almost everyone who likes him doesn’t know anything about soccer, or is a girl. In 2007 Kaka got the best player of the year, and Messi go the 2nd best, and C. Ronaldo 3rd! You Should’ve seen the glare he was giving Messi, and thats when I started to hate him. 

     In 2008 Messi got a big injury, because Messi had a big injury it was really is for C.Ronaldo to get the best Player of the year. Also, in 2008 it was one of the worst years for Barcelona, and one of the best for Mancheter United. That year Ronaldinho was really bad, so was Eto, and Half the season Messi had an injury, and when he came back, the team was really bad. If Messi was not injured he would’ve go the best player.

     C. Ronaldo has no respect to any player or person expect for him self. When I saw C. Ronaldo Vs Brazil, that showed me that he is dirty player, and that he as no respect. Look at this video, he thinks he is the best look at how he is looking at the other Brazilian player. Whenever C. Ronaldo is losing and someone touches him, he gets so mad, and starts fighting, he doesn’t know how to play soccer. Getting hurt is part of soccer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEhdqjd3n94&feature=related

 

     Messi he is the one who deserves to be the best player in the world. No one expect for Messi. Messi is a respectable player. He has 10 times better skills then C. Ronaldo. C. Ronaldo gets into fights, and gets red cards. Messi Never got a red card. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QfSNFsY18w. Messi didn’t go up and start fighting, because of this I respect Messi, if this happened to C. Ronaldo he would stand up and start screaming. But Messi is a man, he knows that part of soccer is getting hurt.

     This Wenesday, in the finals. Messi will prove to everyone that he is the bet in Europe. This Wednesday Manchester Vs Barcelona Finals Champions Leauge. Messi will prove to everyone that he is the best player in the world!

Real Madrid

May 17th, 2009

     After the big lose from Barcelona by 6. Now we became a joke, everyone started to make fun of us even thus we are the biggest team in the world. They are making fun of the king, how can they make fun of the king? Who can make fun of the king? Don’t these players have any feelings for what they are playing for? Don’t these players know that they are playing for the biggest team in the world?

 

 

     Every player who plays for Real Madrid this year needs to get out, we need new players, our players suck. Our players are Marcelo and Drenthe and other bad players. We need to get new players. We need star players, if we have star players we can win. For example Barcelona they have star players. Look where they are and where we are. Can you compare Messi with Marceloa? Or Eto with Hugain, because Barcelona have star player’s they are doing really good.

     Since when can Barcelona win on us 6-2. In 1943 we won on them 11-1, so its okay we still hold the record for the biggest win. So, I don’t know why the Barcelona fans keep on making fun of us, don’t they know anything about soccer. Also, they were playing Vs the youngest players; none of them were stars players. Van Nestroy i s injured our only star player, so it was really easy for them to win.

      Real Madrid is the richest team in the world, so it is really easy for us to get good players. Then why aren’t we getting any new players, star players? Vicente is the worst President that ever came to Real Madrid. We won the La Liga last year because last year was Barcelona’s worst year. He did such a bad job this year, so we need to change him.

     We need to change Vicente I know its his first year, and maybe we need to give him another chance, just because he is new. We need a new better mind, who understands soccer to become our  president, so we could become the best again. He also didn’t bring any good players to Real Madrid, and that’s why I don’t want him to lead Real Madrid. Why did he bring Hunterlaar? No offense to Huntrelar but honestly  Real Madrid is way to good of a team for him. 

      Real Madrid needs to get new players. We need players like C. Ronaldo and Kaka, if we can only bring these two players we will become unbeatable. We got the money why shouldn’t we bring them right?

Al-Arabi

May 9th, 2009

What happened to Al-Arabi?

 

     Al-Arabi is a Qatari soccer club, that use to be the best soccer club in Qatar. They use to call them “Zaeem” the boss because they use to win a cup every 2 years. They use to have the most fans in Qatar.

 

     Al-Arabi now are one of the worst teams in Qatar. Whoever watches the Qatari league would agree with me that Al-Arabi are one of the worst teams in Qatar right now. The last 3 years were Al-Arabi’s worst years, so all the fans changed teams, because they wanted a team they could be proud of.  They got 9th place, and the year after that 6th place, and the year after that 7th place.  We haven’t one a cup in 10 years.  The players have no feeling for the team they are playing for, they are only playing for the money.

 

     We have the worst players. We have the worst foreign players in Qatar. Look at Al-Rayyan players and compare them to our players. You cant because are players worthless. Kim plays forward and he only scored 2 goals, thats why are forward is the worst in Qatar. Lua Lua came to Al-Arabi with an injury, so he only played 4 matches the whole season. The only good player that deserves to play in Al-Arabi is Piscu. Piscu is to good to play for Al-Arabi, he scored 21 goals for Al-Arabi this season, and Al-Arabi only scored 37 goals this season, so he scored more then half of the goals for Al-Arabi. If it wasn’t for him Al-Arabi would’ve gone for to 2nd division.

 

   I’ll tell you why Al-Arabi sucks the past few years because the people who are running Al-Arabi don’t know what they are doing. They bring the worst players. They pay millions for foreign players, and none of them are good. They never bring Qatari players.  The only Qatari player we brought was Ali Rahma Al-Maari.  This year they changed the coach 3 times, last year 2 times, every coach they bring stays one month then they fire him, so then the players need to get use to a new coach, and its really hard for them to do it.  They bring a coach, that they cant put faith in them.

 

     Al-Arabi needs to change the Managers. Faisal bin Mubrak needs to get out. We need a new manager, so we can bring Al-Arabi back to life.  We need new players, we need new young players for the future to make Al-Arabi come back. We need fans to stay with Al-Arabi and never leave them alone because they need us, if we leave them, they own have anyone. Al-Arabi will never walk alone.  If Al-Arabi comes back the Qatari League will be 10 times better then it is.  Hand by Hand Al-Arabi will come back. Al-Arabi will never walk alone. Hand By Hand Al-Arabi will come BackAl-Arabi Fans (sad)

Why are Arsenal is the best team in the world?

May 3rd, 2009

Why are Arsenal is the best team in the world?

“I SAY ARSENAL ARSENAL FC WERE BY FAR THE GREATEST TEAM THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN.” I know the past few years Arsenal hasn’t been the best, they haven’t won so many cups, and everyone thinks that Chelsea is better then Arsenal now. I also have to admit that the past few years they are doing better then us, but we are building a team for the future.

Our manager Arsene is one of the superlative managers in the world, he made the best players, like Henry he use to be a bad player in Juventues, he played for one season and only scored 3 goals. Everyone thought he was one of the worst players in the world, but then Arsene thought that he was a very good player, so he took him. All the Arsenal fans didn’t want Henry to come to Arsenal. They all thought that he was really bad, but Arsene gave him a chance and he became one of the best forwards in the world, he broke the record of goals in Arsenal. He scored 174 goals, in 10 seasons. Furthermore, Arsenal are the only team in the world that were not affected by the economy crisis. Because our coach is an economist also. So, he knew that this was going to happen. So, that’s why he sold a lot of players like Henry and Reyes. So, now we could buy any player we want, and not be affected. So, Arsenal are not just the best team in the world, we are also the smartest team in the world.

Also, Arsenal don’t have any star players, their players are all young. But still they are a respectable. They are 4th in the League and they qualified to the semi finals for the champions league. I’ll bet you anything if Chelsea had these players they would be 6th or 7th place you, because Chelsea has no spirit for their team, but Arsenal does, because we have spirit we are doing good, and we are the best.

So, Arsenal are thinking about the future and how they can become better. While other teams are only thinking about the present. So, step by step we will become the best, because we got a lot of young players coming up. Believe me in the future we will become the best team. Next year we will win the league, because we will have the best players.

Chelsea sucks!! ( i just realized the other isn’t posting right!

April 30th, 2009

I know everyone is in love Chelsea but they seriously suck. I don’t know why everybody is so in love with them. The only people who cheer them, are the people who don’t know anything about soccer because Chelsea doesn’t have any spirit they just play for money. An example is Drogba Chelsea were the ones who made him one of the best forwards in the world. Now he wants to get out of Chelsea. There is no spirit!

Come on you guys Chelsea is a 2nd division team they only won the premier league like 3 times, and they came back because of money. If their president wasn’t rich they would’ve sucked. They use to have no fans, look at this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7v81R37drA . This song tells us that Chelsea’s didn’t have any fans until now. They use to never brag about anything, but as you see now they think they are the best. Chelsea fan’s don’t know the history of Chelsea it is really bad.

Furthermore, Chelsea cheats like a lot. Even they admit it. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article507730.eceSo once there was a match with Barcelona it was the semi-final. Chelsea practiced on a wet field, and a dirty field, so when it was the game time they made the field wet and the grass was bad, so when Barcelona came they didn’t know how to play on that field. But, at the end Barcelona won, because god didn’t let Chelsea win. After the match their coach admit that they cheated. So, why would you cheer a team that cheats, and all they care about is money.

Chelsea is a club where they don’t give the coach the freedom to do what he wants with the players. Their coach Mourinho left last year because the President of the club always interfered with the coaching. So, the President was the one who use to tell the coach how to play and what players to put. Pizzaro was one of the best players in the German League then Chelsea took him, and they put him in bench now he is really bad.

Also, we all now Shevnecko he was one of the best players in Italian League when he went to Chelsea they put him on the bench and now he sucks! So, what was the purpose of buying a player then putting him on bench?

I hope when you read this you truly agree with me, because come one who would cheer Chelsea a team that is 2nd division, and cheats! You should change teams!

Freedom of Speech

April 19th, 2009

Freedom of Speech

 

     Freedom of speech is one of the most valuable right to every American citizen. It was written in the 1st amendment, so it is very important. Not every country has the  right.  In a lot of countries if you make fun of the president you go to jail.  But in the U.S Everyone can say want he wants. Everyone can sing what he wants. An example is Saudi Arabia someone mad fun of the Malik ,and he went to jail. There was also this singer who wrote a song about the Malik’s daughter, the singer went to jail. Also, there was this underground rapper who kept on swearing, so he went to jail.  Some people use youtube  to talk about politics. Furthermore, freedom of speech should be a human right, because every person should have a right to express himself.

 

     http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2003/27936.htm. Here it says that Qatar has freedom of speech. But, I know where my line is, and that I shouldn’t cross it. I don’t want to get anyone’s feelings to get hurt. In my blog I am mainly going to talk about soccer and not politics. So I believe if I am talking about soccer I can say what I want just without swearing. I think I can talk about a player the way I want but I just shouldn’t swear when I am talking about him.  So then we could have a discussion about the player and how we all feel about him. So, I know what I am going to talk about.  And what I am going to say and not say. I think everyone should have a line and they should not cross it.
