My First Birthday In America

Yesterday was my first birthday in America. It was fun as fuck! I thought it was going to be sad and not fun, but I was wrong. I thought that because it was my first birthday without my mom. She still lives in Brazil, and it was a sad side of my birthday, but it was good anyway.

I got a lot of surprises, because people lied to me and I believed them. There was this whole conversation about me getting a new PS4, but my mom said she was going to buy it for me. I thought it was okay, but after I got back from a party, my dad gave me a box with a new PS4! He said he was going to try to get a job at a bar, but he went to Walmart to buy my PS4! I was so surprised and it was fun. We left the console doing the updates, and we went to Outback to get some food. Outback was so good, they are the best steakhouse ever, and I got a free Ice Cream because it was my birthday (lucky guy).

After I got back from Outback, my dad made another surprise for me. I got into the house and then my 3 best friends jumped from the sofa and screamed ''HAPPY BIRTHDAY!''. My dad left Outback earlier saying that it was too cold for the plants and he had to put them inside, if not, they would die. It was the best surprise ever! I thought I wasn't going to see my friends that day, but they were there. We started playing the PS4, it was so fun, even my dad was playing. I was so happy that everybody was there. My dad made an awesome birthday with a lot of surprises for me. The only bad thing was that my family is in Brazil and it was my first birthday without them. Besides that, my birthday was awesome.

My First Thanksgiving Experience.

Today I had my first Thanksgiving experience. It was good, people from all over the US coming to Charleston just to celebrate with their family, it was beautiful. I really loved the feeling of waking up on a Thursday and not having to go to school. Thanksgiving is fun because of that, not because of the celebration. 

The food was okay. I mean, it was good, but I think a Brazilian Barbecue would be much better than the turkey. The people are cool, and everything is good, but is not as good as people told me. They told me it was the best holiday after Christmas, but I don't think it is that good. It is good because we don't have school, but the celebration is too boring.

It is better than nothing, but I think people told me the wrong thing. Thanksgiving is a good holiday, I liked it. No school, no homework, just chill. But it is not as good as people told me. The best thing about it is that you get to meet a lot of people from all over the places, and they tell you all their experiences, tell you about the place they live, and that is good to know and learn. In a scale from 1 to 10, I would give it a 7.5.

Addictive iPhone Games.

I always find new iPhone games to play when I am Bored. I just go to the ''Top Charts'' section on the app store, and there is always a new and awesome game to play. This freaking games make me addicted, trying to beat people's scores and be in a good place in the ranking. 

Last week I found out about ''Head Soccer'', this game is amazing! I am not even in the beginning and I am already in love. I can play online with my friends and it's really fun! I found out about ''Bike Trip'' too, and it is one of the most addictive games ever! 

The one that I am really into these days is ''Whale Trail''. What a game! It is so freaking addictive, because you want to be in the ranking, and you want to buy all the upgrades for your character. You want to buy the skills and new skins, so it makes the game more addictive than it already is. The people that create these games are smart as fuck, they can think about what people like and make it so fun to play, that you don't even see the time passing away, and you still playing.

When Your Friends Break Up.

When your friends break up is not a good feeling. You don't know what side to pick. My friends were dating and then suddenly, they broke up. I don't know in what side should I stay! They are both my friends and it sucks. They are both in my bus, so they are going to invite me to sit with them, but I don't know which one I am going to sit with. This is going to be an awkward moment. 

They are probably going to be mad at me because I don't know which one I should be with. If they start complaining about it, I am going to tell them both to fuck off! This is so fucked up. I am going to feel so bad, because I think I prefer the guy more than the girl, as a friend. She is a little mean to me and he is always good to me. 

Screw them, I am going to sit with a random person in the bus, and I am going to talk to them normally like nothing has happened. I guess they will still be friends, that is what he told me. She just broke up with him because her mom was complaining about their relationship, but she still likes him. I hope everything goes better with them, they were a cute couple.  

YouTube ''Vlogger'' Fail.

I tried to be a YouTube Vlogger, (a person that records himself talking about random things or about his own life) and It was a fail. I recorded a bunch of videos of myself talking about a lot of things, interesting things, but when the editing part came, it screwed me up. 

When I put all the videos in my computer and started watching them, I realized that they, for sure, needed to be edited. I opened a editing software and started doing the ''Jump Cuts''. Jump Cuts are the cuts between rests, pauses to think or when you take a breath, that you make on your video to make the video smaller and easier to watch. 

It is so hard to make the jump cuts, it takes a long time! After my editing was done and I saved my video on my desktop, I closed the software and watched the new edited video. IT WAS HORRIBLE! My jump cuts worked well, but in the middle of the jump cuts, there were some parts that the screen turned into a black screen. I made a lot of work for nothing! After that bad experience, my YouTube Star career was over.
