Christmass dinner
Sometimes I'm surprised of seeing all the differences of the tipical food we eat here and all the sweets we eat in Italy. In Italy we normally eat "pandoro e panettone" with a lot of sugar, but here instead of that we ate cod with a white salse and cheese. In Italy the only fruit that grows on december are oranges, but in Angola there are all sorts of things like : mango, pineapple, watermelon... One better tasting than the other!!! I have to admit that these people are really lucky because they can eat ice cream on Christmass.
New year coming up
I am missing a little the way I am use to pass Christmass in Italy, 'cause here it's a totally different thing! There is no snow and we can't have the traditional family dinner with my grandma's cake and my mom's milk choccolate. Anyway, I can still hope to pass the new year eve day like I always did: eating strawberry and waiting to count from 10 to 1 watching the tv..... Or, in case we have company, we are planino to go to Angola's Chissamas park, a park where african animals are free and there is no hunting. How are you, my dear readers, going to pass that day?
Everything is ready and perfect: the schools are closed, there are decorations everywhere, shops are selling out lots of toys and candies. The only thing I could whish is to win the art competitition of my school (I'm drawing a girl on a swing). I hope to meet my old friends again because on the 16th of February it will be 1 year that I moved here and I don't see them. What's your whish for Christmass?
See you soon

Christmass
What would you like as Christmass present? I'll tell you what I would like: a bunny, a book and something surprising. I would love an I-Phone, but where I live it's probably too dangerous. Me and My mother are probably going to buy an outdoor armchair today. These are all weird Christmass presents, but how about yours???
My story called "the advantages of hiding"
My other "other hobby" is writing. In my school, someone is planning an other nanowrimo on february and I am anticipating it. Anyway a nanowrimo is some sort of competition to see who writes the best things and the winner gets to print their book and publish it in our school library!!!
This is the first chapter of the story I am writing called : the advantages of hiding ! Here it is.
I have grown up always following the same
question: What if…? What if I give up and leave school? What if I grow up and
become a waitress? A lawyer? A chef? What if I change country? What if..? What
if..? Well I had enough of that. I got way too much of that. Something has to
change right now. My thinking has to take change right now. I want to wake up
tomorrow knowing exactly what I will eat for breakfast and if I will, with whom
of my friends I will hang out with in the afternoon. Sounds weird, doesn’t it?
Why would someone want that? I had enough surprises, now is my turn to decide
what to do, when, how and where. Freedom. What a beautiful word... Freedom, it
sounds like a cold sunset. So close and so far at the same time. No one had a
moment in their life when they were completely free. For example there are the
people in jail, people feel they are in jail even if they are not. The adults
working, the moms taking care of the kids, the children at school... Etcetera.
Now, just to explain, I’m not trying to be sad, I’m trying to be happy because
I found some of the moments when I feel free, even more than free… I feel like
when I am in that place, I decide everything… I am the queen. Oh, now you want
to know where is this place, don’t you? Actually there is more than just one
special place, there are lots but all of them are really hard to reach. You
can’t get there walking or running. You can’t get there by car, airplane or
train. You can’t get there. There is something that brings you there and that’s
the only way. This is the story of how I found out about it. It all begins when
I did actually change country. That was the biggest change I ever had in my
life, I was moving almost to the other side of the world. But something was
weird. I wasn’t sad. I wasn’t sad about leaving my friends and my family. I
wasn’t sad about leaving the place where I was born. I wasn’t sad at all. But
that doesn’t mean I was happy. I had to start everything all over again, but
looking at it from the positive side… it was a new chance, a new beginning! I
could be whomever I wanted to: I could be the nerd, the popular. I could create
an “old hobby” that I actually never had like dance, or photograph… that’s
original! I could create my fake old life, my fake
past. I could have said that me an my family
got there by boat because my father was in charge of…. Oh I don’t know;
something important for sure. I could have pretended to be one of these serious
and lonely people… an Emo. I could have pretended to be everything I wanted to
or even something that someone else would have liked me to be.
That could have worked,
but I wasn’t brave enough, I couldn’t lie. So I just went on with my boring
personality and my usual days doing the same things as ever… homework, walking
around my compound wondering again what if…? I wasn’t changed. At least not
yet. Even my compound looked weird, it had lots and lots of greenery, parks and
soccer fields, everything rounded from a circle of houses where you could only
hear the annoying sound of silence from. “Where are all the people?” I wondered
my self knowing there was no one else to ask it to. “And, what are they doing?”
I thought again “With such a good place were to hang out, people just stay in
their houses”. I was just by myself .
That had been a really long day, but after that tiring weekend it was finally
my moment to show up, even if I didn’t
really understand if I was happy about it or not. It had been a quiet
afternoon at school, but then a girl with curly hair, skinny, but really good
looking asked me adjusting her thick brown glasses “You are new! Hard life,
anyway what’s your name?”. For a moment I tried to came up with a cool name and
later on tell her the real one, but then I understood that was a stupid idea,
so I hesitated and then answered “Elisabeth, what’s yours? Marta would have
been a good name for you.” “No, but is close enough, it’s Carla”. I couldn’t
wait much more time to know more about her, so without even thinking of it I
asked “How long have you been in this school?” She rolled her eyes for some
reason before answering ”I don’t know, maybe two years, if it was I didn’t even
notice”. That was a weird answer, but I just kept on going “So, what do you do
for fun here?” She passed her hands through her hair and started a long list of
things that I didn’t even fully hear “Well, there are some cool activities you
could try like painting, chess club, tennis, origami, basketball or swimming”.
After that sentence, the bell rang so fast that I didn’t even had enough time
to say “Bye”, she tried to say something to me without stopping walking and
turning her head, but not a word came out of her mouth. It was so obvious we
wanted to talk again, but it was time to go to class. I acted really stupid; I
had enough time to ask her three questions and I didn’t even ask her phone
number, luckily we have school five times a week so I was gonna meet her again.
Anyway, she wasn’t anyone important, she was just another reason why to wonder
myself again what if…?
On
the next Friday, I saw and stopped her again “Finally, you are here. I am lost,
this school is way too big. Do you know where the science room is?”. She didn’t
look really stressed by all my attachment to her, so she nodded “Sure I know.
Come, I am going to the science room too.” We walked together close to each
other like friends that know each other from a long time, until the science
room. She opened the door for me and we entered in. I knew she was working on a
really hard project and I didn’t want to distract her, but I didn’t really have
something so important to do, so I stood up and walked around the class room
and close to the door of the exit I saw
something interesting. It was a paper on the wall saying: “If you are
interested in any of the following contributions to the school, Sing Up!” Carla
turned her head, looked at me and asked “Are you leaving?” I smiled and
answered happy knowing that she cared “No, no I am not. I was just looking
around and… and I saw this.” I said pointing at the paper “What is it?” She
took off her thick glasses and answered surprised of my interest in such a
thing “Oh that? That’s nothing. It’s just the list of afterschool activities,
if you want to join them”. I looked at them closely and saw all the things she
mentioned the first time we met. “Are you in anyone of these?” I asked with the
pen already in my hands ready to join whatever she was going to say. She stood
up leaving her book and the pen down on the table “Well, yes. I am in
basketball”. I was really surprised of that, she was the only girl that signed
up for that. “Anything else?” I asked full of hope. “No” she answered “But if
you really mind that much… I guess I could join a new one”. I checked through
the list and hesitated. “How about swimming?” I asked after minutes of
there-is-nothing-left-to-say silence. She took her pencil and was about to sign
up, but she closed her eyes and signed where the pencil was pointing to. ”How
about….. that? Ehm.. painting?” She forced her eyes to read. I smiled and
signed even if I wasn’t really happy with that “Why not to try?” Now I had even
more things to do on Wednesday. Anyway I knew that with the time, becoming
closer friends I would have made her somehow join the swimming team. That
weekend was really important for my family, and me because my uncle was coming
home with us and he was much of a critical person and for some reason for my
mother his judgment was “The judgment”. That’s why for two really long days
lots of things changed: my brother stopped yelling at me for not letting him watch
the TV until four o’clock and I could not listen to music before going to sleep
at night.
That
was nothing confronting it with what happened at dinner on Sunday; we were all
eating, a part of my brother that wasn’t even in the kitchen. I could see my
mother’s hands shacking, which was pretty normal when she was nervous. “Luke
darling” she called trying to look relaxed “why don’t you come to dinner?”
There was an easy explanation to that, he simply already knew what uncle Bern
was going to say and didn’t want to hear it a second time. Not hearing any
answers, my mother smiled trying to look at the positive side of it “Well, it
looks like there is going to be more marrow for us!” Bern
smiled back changing completely his usual mood.”Yeah, it does” he said “But now
I have an important thing to say.. Maria…” I was really surprised of that
because I think I have never heard him calling my mother by name. “Actually..”
He continued “It’s a good new, I am getting re-married”. After the word “Re-married”
the only one that kept on eating like nothing happened was me. My family, was
an old style family, in fact in my all life I have never seen any of my kindred
getting re-married. ‘Cause for them when the priest says “forever” during the
wedding, for them it’s Forever-With-Absolutely-No- Exceptions. Clearly they don’t
know what happens in today’s world, the modern world.
My
mother looked really sad about it, but it looked like my father was just
following her face expressions, after all it wasn’t his brother.
This is the first chapter of the story I am writing called : the advantages of hiding ! Here it is.
I have grown up always following the same

A thing that I have to say..
On friday, soemone left the school for ever and with this post (hoping this person will read it) I am trying to say lots of different things: goodbye! good luck! keep the contacts! He was a good friend and I think lots of people will miss him even more than I will because they have been with him in the same class for years. We did a party at school for him yesterday and he looked really happy, but I am sure that insede even just a little bit he was sad too of leaving.
See ya!
See ya!
What you shuold do...
Photograph
Remember I talked to you abou my "not- any- more- secret hobby"? yes, photograph. Do you have any secret hobbies? Anyway, I took some good pictures of the international day of my school where everybody could show how important in the community was their country, but unfortunately I am not aloud to put in on the web, so I'll just show you some other pictures I have taken of the beautiful African nature. Soon I will have lots more because for Christmass I am going to a trip to see the wild and some of the animals that I haveve only seen in the movies like elephants, but for now that's all I have.
Finally
Is finally Christmass, here, in Africa, there is no snow or rain; only a really hot sun that shines on the pool of my compaund. Everything is ready: the tree, the presents, icecream and strawberries that are actually there for the 31. What kind of presents would you like? and what kind of music would be pretty for the background of the 25th? School is about to end and all the students are hoping that the second term won't be as hard as the first one. This is what happens during Christmass. All the shops are selling lots of things, but me.... I prefer to build thngs and make the presents by myself, even if sometimes it ends up not beeing a good idea, but that's the reason of Christmass right? thinking about others, show we think of them, show how much we care and using our time and enerjies for that. I have to admit, it is the first time in my all life that I eat Icecream on december and probably the last.
Well, I am not the only one super ready for the special day, and I know that because at night from my bedroom I can see the light coming from my window of all the decorations of the house in front of mine.

Other Hobbies
Normally, I don't put these kind of things on the web, but I have to say that an other hobby that I have is Photograph. My camera is my third eye, it helps me see everything with a different point of view, it helps me see how things with just a zoomed in and a click can became so beautiful. Sometimes we dont even notice that. Somehow my camera makes me also a bit sad, because it makes things so pretty only cutting off things from the picture. I take pictures of everything, but mostly the amazing nature of Africa. I take pictures of people because that helps me remember them and it helps me see what kind of person they are. Sounds weird? Photos are memories and when I take them I can look at them as long as I want, all the times I want. Here we have some examples of pictures I took.
| Some clouds... can became pieces of art.. |
| Particular flowers that I never seen before, My camera helps me discover new things! |

Some feelings..
When you ear the music you love, what does it feels like? Is totally an other world .. because you enter in the story and everything else desappears..like reading a book or looking to an old picture of some good times you had. Is like having fun with a friend, but most of the times we listen to music by ourselves.. alone. why? we don't whant to share? no, is because showing our feelings is imbaracing sometimes. but is not because is true... is just because we don't know how to describe it... Because we don't just listen to music,remember, we enter in the music
my music
This is how I feel...
I'm sure this makes you feel proud of you!
Musica
This is our first debate... what do you think about Ma Cheri? This is the first music I used for the performance I made in a Course...Enjoy
Ask a music.. I publish it

Le feste
Si sente di già il calore di Natale qui , tra le decorazioni, gli alberi, persino i finti bambolotti di babbo natale con le candele in mano... Mentre invece, halloween è più vicino, ma meno considerato qui.. Io invece non vedo l'ora di organizzare qualche party...
PS: quando dicevo il "calore di Natale" lo intendevo letteralmente CALDO perché qui è estate e si raggiungeranno penso anche i quarante gradi.. Il mare è solamente il miglior consiglio che posso dare! Ma anche io andrò a un SAFARI! Un altra bella idea..

Essere mamme
Come ci si può sentire di fronte a una mamma così?
Questa mamma con il figlio legato sulla schiena, sulla costa del mare con una piccola spatola, stava raschiando la corteccia dalla base di un albero. La domanda viene spontanea:" cosa stai facendo?"- le abbiamo chiesto. Suo figlio si era ammalato e il "dottore" delle vicinanze le aveva detto che un pezzo di corteccia sarebbe andato bene.
Come si fa ad immaginare un bambino così, magari anche senza denti a mangiare un pezzo di corteccia?
L'istinto è stato di donarle dollari sufficenti per comprare un paio di medicine.
Capisco che è difficile da immaginare per persone che anche solo per un arffreddore hanno pronta una medicina, ma è così. E questa mamma di sicuro non è l'unica. <3

Il museo delle verità
Questo museo può spiegare come mai qualche volta ci si sente osservati. Questo è il museo che spiega la verità. Noi bianchi abbiamo iniziato il razzismo e abbiamo fatto schiavi quelli che erano "diversi". Ora, dopo ciò che abbiamo fatto non c'è da stupirsi se il modo in cui ci guardano non è dei migliori. Io li capisco. Avrei fatto lo stesso. Questa statua é storia. Questa statua è verità. è bello comunque sapere che le cose sono cambiate.
Sulla costa del mare in mezzo al nulla, circondato di scogli e conchiglie,questo museo è solo una casetta vicino al così chiamato "imbarcadeiro" una piccola barca a remi che porta fino alla spiaggia di Mussulo. Muri bianchi e foto in bianco e nero di allora, dove gli schiavi ammalati venivano gettati in mare ed abbandonati. Vi auguro di andarci almeno una volta nella vita per aprivi gli occhi.

La cultura di accettare ciò che ha poco valore.
Noi passiamo una vita in una casa calda d'inverno e fresca d'estate, mentre queste persone vivono di vendere ceste fatte dalle loro mani. Loro non piangono perchè non hanno un iPhone, non hanno segreti e nemmeno un muro per nascondersi. Vivono di loro stessi e di ciò che viene dalle loro mani. Ammirano la nostra vita senza invidia, mentre noi guardiamo loro con disprezzo come se avessero deciso loro di vivere così. Vedi famiglie ancora più ravvicinate dall'essere poveri e altre invece divise dal troppo denaro. Perchè sedersi su un divano di pelle da soli, mentre ci si può sedere su uno sgabello in compagnia? non ho provato paura a sedermi in mezzo a loro, mi sono sentita fortunata. Non migliore. Fortunata. Non bisognerebbe giudicare qualcuno da dove si siede o da quanti metri cubi occupa per vivere. Magari sì, magari i metri cubi che ha nel cuore per le persone invece che gli oggetti. Non mi sono immaginata al suo posto. Magari io non cel'avrei fatta al suo posto. è questo che li rende eroi. Riuscire a cavrsela in ogni tipo di difficoltà.

Primi giorni di scuola
I primi giorni di scuola mi sembrava che tutti i bambini parlassero cinese, le altre settimane avevo imparato come salutare e conversare un pochino con gli altri, ma ora riesco anche a leggere libri in inglese, ma non mi dimenticherò mai dei miei migliori amici che mi hanno voluto tanto bene in Italia. I love 5c.

Italia
Adesso sono in Italia e per arrivarci ho passato dieci ore di aereo e quattro di attesa in aereoporto.
Quando sono arrivata la sera e ho cenato mi sono proprio disgustata della frutta, perchè in angola era molto, ma molto più buona! E poi quì non ci sono i manghi...

Devo salutare una persona
devo salutare una persona speciale che ormai è andata via dall'angola: Annalisa e le sue figlie Gabriella e la più piccola Isabella. Le devo anche rigraziare per essere membri del mio blog. In Angola è tutto a posto amiche mie..... e Josè vi saluta tanto!

Vacanze!
le vacanze sono molto vicine, ma per me non ha grande importanza a parte per il fatto che torno in Italia perchè quì in Angola è sempre vacanza. Questo perchè: una sera c'è un party , la sera dopo c'è la pizzata, un weekend una cena in compagnia, il giorno dopo un incotro in piscina, un pomeriggio tennis e quello dopo il corso di nuoto. insomma quì non si riposa mai...

la mia scuola
vi parlerò della mia scuola.
La mia scuola è enorme: ha un campo da calcio ed un campo da basket .... ma sopratutto due piscine, una grande e una piccola. abbiamo un gigantesco grattacielo vicino alla scuola che è la libreria!!
Abbiamo una grande aula computers con 32 computers. Nella mia classe siamo 18. Abbiamo un aula di portoghese dove ci insegnano a parlare la lingua che si parla qui. Nell' aula di arte abbiamo le tele su cui dipingere ,tanti grandi proiettori e le tempere. Dentro la mensa c'è un teatro così mentre mangi guardi qualcosa di bello...
La mia insegnante si chiama Mss. Claudelle Lewis.

Adesso siamo arrivati...
Ciao a tutti, adesso siamo arrivati in angola, ma prima di tutto vorrei scusarmi per non avervi più scritto niente, ma per una settimana non abbiamo avuto internet, però adesso è tutto a posto.
Quì abbiamo un autista privato che può portarci dive vogliamo tra le sei di mattina fino alle cinque del pomeriggio, bello vero??? C'è sempre sole e si muore di caldo, infatti in questo momento sono smanicata. Casa mia è davvero grandissima, un salotto enorme con due divani, una grande televisione sony su cui però si vede solo rai italia , la fox in inglese oppure disney channel in portoghese.
In giardino abbiamo una piscina dove io mi tuffo sempre dopo aver finito i compiti, però al mare non ci siamo ancora andati perchè abbiamo già troppi impegni. Il bello è che abbiamo due piani....
Mia mamma ha già fatto amicizia con la signora delle pulizie anche se fanno un pò fatica a capirsi perchè lei parla in portoghese. Io ho rincontrato un amica che avevo conosciuto in Libya: Come è piccolo il mondo!!!! La mia scuola Americana si chiama L.I.S vuol dire luanda international school e hanno anche un simbolo tutto loro che è un tigre azurra dai denti a sciabola e hanno una piscina per la loro saquadra personale di nuoto di cui io faccio parte e andiamo a sfidare altra scuole in angola.
Per ora a scuola stiamo lavorando ad un grande proggetto grazie alle nostre ricerche da far vedere alle insegnanti della L.I.S.

S. Valentino
Probabilmente molti di voi passeranno il S.Valentino fuori a cena o con degli amici, ma invece io no! Passero la giornata in aereoporto a Linate, ben dieci ore di aereo: che stress! Il principale problema di quando si passa più a lungo del tempo in aereo porto è il bagno: ha la grandezza di una scatola per fagioli ed è sempre occupato 24 ore su 24. Non è assurdo??? Comunque tra poco avrò le foto della mia casa nuova e ve le manderò il prima possibile..
SALUTI !

CHE RABBIA!
Non ci posso credere: questa mattina , mio padre ha avuto la fatale notizia che il visto non è ancora arrivato al suo ufficoìio, e questo in poche parole vuol solo dire che domani purtroppo non si parte!
Quando l'ho saputo ho tirato un calcio violento al mio povero armadio, poichè ormai avevamo già programmato tutto che è poi stato rimandato a chissà quando.Le nostre valigie già pronte sono state disfate dalle cose che potrebbero servirci in settimana, ma il ,ato positivo è che con questo ritardo dei lavoratori, potrò rimanere in Italia abbastanza tempo per passare Sabato 11 alla festina di compleanno della mia migliore amica in assoluto , che per un nano secondo ha creduto che l'avrei dimenticata! Ma quando mai?
IO HO UNA MEMORIA DI FERRO! vale per tutti...
arrivederci...

Allora è sfortuna !
Ieri pomeriggio e questa mattina dovevano arrivare gli adetti ai bagagli per ritirare i bauli che noi avevamo preparato con estrema cura e i nostri oggetti più affetti, ma ancora una volta ci hanno dato buca e siamo ancora qui con la rabbia fin sopra i capelli e senza poter nemmeno uscire per comprare la cena : che noia!
Questti momenti sono davvero difficili, anche se io non ho tempo per starci a pensare: devo prepararmi per il test alla scuola Americana, ma i miei pensieri si accumulano maggiormente sulle foto dei miei amici della 5 c, esatto proprio loro!
Che tristezza, che malinconia...

lacrime su lacrime...
oggi ho versato lacrime a secchiellate , poichè oggi ho detto addio alla mia classe e tutti erano tristi col muso lungo e inserenabili.
mi mancheranno molto e non so più cosa dire..

Eccola!
Da ieri sera la neve cade ed è tutto coperto di bianco... speriamo che questo non influenzi la nostra partenza ,dopo che è già stata rimandata dal 1 febbraio al 9. Non importa, la cosa più significante oggi per me è il fatto che domani sarà l'ultimo giorno da passare con i miei amici e compagni di scula, spero di mancargli! sono persone importanti per me, ma comunque dicono che la essendo l'unica scuola presente ci sarà tantissima gente con cui fare amicizia. Vorrei salutare con affetto Serena la mia migliore amica, ma sopratutto tutta la classe della 5 C.

Terremoto!!!
Oggi a scuola hanno evaquato tutte le classi a causa del terremoto che ha colpito tutta la città di Codogno, la terra tremava fino a pomeriggio, ma adesso sembrerebbe cessato. Nella mia scuola è solo caduto un armadio ,ma a quanto pare invece alle medie l'edificio oscillava...Che scoop!!!

5...4...3...2....1...
oggi mancano all'incirca cinque giorni prima della partenza : mia mamma per rassicurarmi mi dice in continuazione come tutte le altre volte che non sarà un addio, ma solamente un arrivederci....che frase poetica! però intanto non rivedrò i miei più grandi amici per due, anzi quattro mesi e tutto questo solo grazie al visto!! Devo dire la verità?? Non ci capisco proprio più niente tra tutti questi contratti, firme, biglietti dell'aereoporto... e non credo di essere l'unica in famiglia..
Arrivederci...
Arrivederci...

Che fatica!
Per superare il test alla scuola americana che frequenterò, inoltre, devo ultimare le mie trenta ore di studio inglese nel centro lingue straniere di Codogno! posso davvero ammetere che studiare tutte le materie in italiano è assai più semplice, ma non sarò l'unica a dover studiare un'altra lingua: mia madre soprattutto, che fa la casalinga e rifornisce la casa di cibo, dovrà imparare almeno un minimo del portoghese, invece per mio padre è fin troppo facile, poichè al lavoro ha i colleghi traduttori...
saluti!

Prepartenza
Tensione e agitazione nient'altro dopo la scoperta del trasferimento in Angola, una dellle località marittime forse più conosciuta grazie alla festività del Carnevale. A me non resta che immaginare come potrebbe essere vivere sotto l'equatore, mentre ai miei genitori rimane ancora un vaccino all'aereoporto di Roma. Per quanto riguarda la lingua invece, sarebbe giusto informare che si parla il portoghese .... una lingua al quanto divertente....
