This is the end of the school year

The school year it's near to finish and the holidays are near to come. And I want to say for all the bloggers that I have spend a beautiful year more with you and in my new life. I call this, my new life because I'd lived in three different countries and I've met different people and I'd always the chance to met beautiful and nice friends who helped me to forget my pain and to beginning again.

This year was the third I've lived here, and with the time I'm feel comfortable in my new house, my new school and my new friends. This year had passed so quickly that I didn't realize. But anyway, I've also learn a lot of things in first of Batxillerat and during this year I learnt a lot in English, I think that the blog was a good way to learn English, to talk about our hobbies, to give our opinion and at the same time we can approve our English, so for me the blog was a positive thing and I 'll enjoy do it next year and maybe others more.

Good holidays for everybody! ;-)

Health researchers have identified a surprising new predictor for risky behaviour among teenagers and young adults: Super-caffeinated energy drinks, with names like Red Bull, Monster, Full Throttle and Amp, have surged in popularity in the past decade. About a third of 12-to 24-year-olds say they regularly down energy drinks

The trend has been the source of growing concern among health researchers and school officials. Around the country, the drinks have been linked with reports of nausea, abnormal heart rhythms and emergency room visits.

kuerten says farewell to the tennis


He is known universally as 'Guga' and beloved by fans worldwide as much for his frizzy hair, big smile and engaging personality as for his three French Open titles. It is the first South American man to ever rank year-end Number 1 will proposed farewell to the sport and tennis at Roland Garros.

Kuerten is a real challenger, he had started his career when he was just 18 and then he multiplied victories. By then the tennis world had fallen in love with the richly gifted player, a colorful and exciting personality.

Kuerten regained his crown as the unrivalled master of European clay-courts with victory over Swede Magnus Norman in the 2000 Roland Garros final, when his demoralizing power and divine touch helped him secure his second title on his 11th match point.


Twelve months later he drew a heart on the clay of Philippe Chatrier Court when he became only the fourth player since the Second World War to win the most mentally demanding of all the Grand Slams more than twice.


Again, as in 1997 and 2000, he dedicated each of his triumphs to his father, Aldo, who died while umpiring a junior match when Kuerten was eight years old in 1985. In November 2007 his achievements would once again be tempered by the loss of his greatest supporter: his brother Guilherme, who suffered from cerebral palsy.

In 2000 he launched the Guga Kuerten Institute that helps the handicapped and provides support for projects that promote the integral development of children and adolescents through sporting activities. The Institute has assisted more than 25,000 people in Santa Catarina and has raised more than $2 million.

Today Kuerten is revered by a sports mad nation in the same light as the late Formula One racing driver Ayrton Senna.
