Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro was born on Funchal, Madeira, Portugal in 5, February 1985. He is a Portugal footballer. Now he play in Spanish La Liga for club Real Madrid. . Ronaldo is the youngest child of Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro and Jose Dinis Aveiro. The name Cristiano Ronaldo have a meaning, Cristiano is because his mother want his son to be religious person and Ronaldo is taken from US President Ronald Reagan who is his father favourite actor. He has one olderbrother and two older sister, Elma and Liliana Catia.



At the first time be a football player, Ronaldo play in Andorinha club football in Portugal. He play in Andorinha starts from1993-1995. After that he played with local club Nacionalabout 1995-1997. Next after give winning for Nacional he moved to Sporting Clube de Portugal. He played about 1997-2001 and he appearances 25 times and 11 goals. He continue played in Sporting CP until 2003.

After that Sir Alex ferguson know his talent from the match that MU lose 3-0 with Sporting CP. Ferguson really want buy him from sporting CP. Ferguson need12,24 million Poundsterling. But Ferguson really lucky, he get Ronaldo that same with the price. Ferguson said that Ronaldo must use number 7 in MU because he is a talented football player.

Rick Riordan




Rick Riordan who has full name Richard Russell was born on June 5 1964 (age 46) in San Antonio, Texas.
He  is the author of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. He also wrote the Tres Navarremystery series for adults.His first book in the series is  The Maze of Bones. As far he always write with genres FantasyDetective fiction,Mythology.


He is like reading since he was child. And the first book that Rick Riordan remember reading is fun was the Lord of the Rings. He read mostly fantasy and science fiction in high school, then he start got interested in mysteries when He got to college. He started writing when he was in middle school. The first story he submitted for publication was when he was 13. It wasn’t published. His first published works were two short stories in the UTSA literary magazine.


Rather than say "things that i like", he's one of the peoples who inspires me. I love the way he write a story, it feels real and he has wild imagination! He ever said that his favorite book he wrote is which have a hard question for a writer. It's kinda rarely tought, but i think that's excess of Rick Riordan that can make he different from the others novel writer.


This is Rick Riordan advice to every young people who want to be a writer



Any advice for young people who want to be writers?

I started writing seriously when I was in eighth grade. I had an English teacher who encouraged me to submit my work for publication.
I became a middle school English teacher largely because of the impact Mrs. Pabst had on me twenty-three years ago, and I love having the chance to encourage kids to write the way I was encouraged. That’s one of the reasons I was not anxious to leave the classroom to pursue full-time writing.
The first thing a young writer needs is a mentor who believes in his or her talent. So don’t be afraid to ask for help! Find a teacher you respect. Correspond with authors. You will find that a polite email will almost always get a response.
Secondly, read a lot! Read everything you can get your hands on. You will learn the craft of writing by immersing yourself in the voices, styles, and structures of writers who have gone before you.
Thirdly, write every day! Keep a journal. Jot down interesting stories you heard. Write descriptions of people you see. It doesn’t really matter what you write, but you must keep up practice. Writing is like a sport — you only get better if you practice. If you don’t keep at it, the writing muscles atrophy.
Finally, don’t get discouraged! Rejection is a part of writing, and it hurts. The trick is to keep at it. Wallpaper your room with rejection notes, if you want, but don’t give up.


After read his books i always think "I want to be like him!"
I really love his novels. It's not boring and reaal 'teen' haha
And he teached something from his advice,  it's like 'write about anything, just do what you want, and don't ever give up!"


That's really can cheer me up ~ and how about you?

Purple

Purple is a color between red and blue. The word 'purple taken from The Old English word 'purpul' which from Latin 'purpura'. Purple is warm and cool. The things that has color purple are eggplant, lavender, lilac, mulberry, orchid, plum, pomegranate and wine.

Using purple also have some meaning :

* lighter purple are more romantic

We also can combine purple with another color :
~ a deep eggplant purple with neutral color, conservative, color combination with a little touch mystery the purple provides
~ green and purple can be striking combination
~ pink and purple has feminine appeal

Many people believe if purple is a color for widow. But never believe them, because if they say like that it means they really hate purple. But for me that's not true. I really love purple and i collect many things that have a color purple. My room has purple paint, school bag, helm, pencil case, shoes, dolls, pencil, ballpoint, clothes etc. And i will collect more.
