Me, All about Me

Hi guys, Here is a short presentation of a tipicular morrocan teenager called ISSAM .
Well I wasn't born in Tangier , I was born in Tetouan a city close to tangier (60KM from Tangier) I lived my whole life there untill I turned 13 then I moved to Tangier,I study in a french school Le Detroit and I m a sophomore, I'm not a straight A student neither than a F one, but I really work it out.
Well I'm a teen so It is obvious that I worship music I listen to a variety of music; My favorite artists are: Eminem,Florida,Pitbull Adam Levine,Stromae,Maitre Gims and Cheb KHaled.
 I love learning languages I speak currently five (Arabic-French-English,Spanish and German).I often spend time on websites learning languages my future goal is Chineese,  it's not difficult as it sounds.I think that languages open a lot of gates of knowledge and possibilities.
Even if Morroco is known by Traditional food I still enjoy Pizza and Pasta.I consider myself a funny guy even if I'm the only one laughing at my jokes,anyway .I'm a very moody person, my feelings and behaviour change frequently.Well There is another thing that I would like to share with you I want to finish my studies in a prestigious university in America such as HARVARD or STANFORD it was my dream since I was a little kid, to go and study in the best college of the world.
I really like this blog idea I find it so creative and efficient, it’s an exchange program but in a more creative way .It’s amazing how can a blog reduce a 2,303.65 miles trip OMG.
Well feel free to ASK!!

Summer

Summer  is the time when you can see the earth is alive. The smell of blooming flowers or a fresh cut lawn. It is a time when you can feel the warmth of the sun and the real crazy life . To walk barefooted, dig your toes into the sand. Sit outside in the evening and listen to music all night and see the beautiful lights and stars add sparkle to the night. Look up at the night sky in search of shooting stars. The smell of sea. Lay in the bed with the windows open but never sleep, think about the next day, what are you going to do .I really adore summer I believe that it is made for lazy people just like me, 2 months of vacation so peaceful and quiet I would kill to have it right now,  so since I adore this vacation I would like to share with you the activities I practise during this special occasion, in fact I love sport, all kind of sports and here at Morroco i assure you that we don't have a special kind of sport known as a national sport in fact we practice all kind of sports and everywhere and when I say everywhere I do not mean stadiums and  pitches in fact here need is mother of invention. Imagine a Hockey match in a parking track so dirty that you could not recognise the puck from the leg of your partner so here starts chaos, but this kind of chaos usually generates laughs and giggles so we have a blast while playing .well yeah I am quiet being sarcastic about the real situation but I really find it so amusing and joyful to share this piece of information with you, summer is known by chilling and hanging out with friends going to special clubs, and travelling of course.
I was thinking about going to New york this summer , The big apple I do not know why they call it this name, but I'm sure  i will take one big crock of that apple while being there

                                                      6 months ahead and here comes Summer
                                                                         COURAGE

Movies can basically be broken down into two categories: Every other film, and the  masterpiece tilogy  « The Lord of the Rings ».This film literally has it all. Believe it or not, there are actually naysayers out there who doubt the cinematic value of this film. I implore you to take a few moments to hear out my argument in defense of "Lord of the rings." I truly believe that with an open mind and, more importantly, an open heart, you too will begin to cherish Peter Jackson’s work of art in the way you rightfully should.

The Lord of the Rings is one of the biggest film franchise consisting of three epic fantasy adventure films adapted and directed by Peter Jackson and based on English author J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. The films are The Fellowship of the Ring ,The Two Towers and The Return of the King .

Set in the fictional world of Middle-earth, the three films follow the hobbit Frodo he and a Fellowship embark on a quest to destroy the One Ring, and thus ensure the destruction of its maker, the Dark Lord . The Fellowship becomes divided and Frodo continues the quest together with his loyal companion Sam and the treacherous Gollum .

Meanwhile, Aragorn, heir in exile to the throne of Gondor, and the wizard Gandalf  unite and rally the Free Peoples of Middle-earth, who are ultimately victorious in the War of the Ring.

2-The trilogy was a large financial success, with the films being classed as oe of the highest grossing films of alltime respectively, The films were critically acclaimed, winning 17 Academy Awards in total, as well different praises for the cast and digital special effects. Each film in the trilogy also had Special Extended Editions, that  made the film more interesting.

3-The series was a major financial success, with the films collectively being among the highest-grossing film series of all time. The films were critically acclaimed and heavily awarded, winning a huge number of Academy Awards. The final film in the series, The Return of the King, gain a huge success due to it’s magnificent plot and efficiency of the visual effects,..

4- Well as huge as this big Blockbuster movie, it should be considered as  a masterpiece in the cinema factory,the lenght of his film has given the viewers the taste of fun, amusement and glamor.

I bet you will like the film, the plot will capture you and the carracters will charm you, it’s a mix of brilliance, proficiency and exellence.

A mix that charms the viewer, lock him in the plot and make him live the story and share it with the carracters. 

Achoura,one of a kind ceremony

First of all i would like to introduce myself, my name is Issam Hamidi , I’m a 10th Grade student from Tangier and i study in « Groupe scolaire le Detroit ».

 I’m going to show you my best day of the year « Achoura » and why it’s so valuable for me and for all the Morrocans.

Morrocan children of every age are celebrating the Festival of Achoura, the tenth day of Muharram, which fell on January 19 th this year. Families traditionally gather together to have special meals and offer zakat or a tenth of their annual income to the poor. Street celebrations, bonfires, and fireworks are other common ways of celebrating.

Trade, in toys and « Taarija » drums, is busy as the holiday gets closer. Dolls, plastic guns, cars, masks, and every other toy imaginable are available. Toys for every budget make choices for the children and family who have financial difficulties .

 Children and adults  usually buy a new drum every season. Some have been collecting the Moroccan drums for many years,me for example I'm on my way to the billionth drum. Friends and families will meet on the big day to play their drum while singing and dancing so it's an occasion to meet distant family .

We the children take the celebrations to the street during the Achoura Festival. Most of us are waiting in anticipation to light up our fireworks .

                                                                 firecrackers

In prior years  children would set off rockets. Families will meet together for a special meal of dried fruits and couscous. Moroccans will light candles and visit the dead in cemeteries to offer prayers for them.

The final component of Achoura Festival is the offering of zakat.

Achoura comes from the Arabic word for ten, 10. During the festival,We offer zakat or a tenth of the money earned in the previous year to the poor. 

                                                                                                                          Dried fruits

                       Couscous

 

Personally I find this day a day that combines religion, happiness and generosity.

3 super combines mixed all together that gives us a SuperYummy delicious Day !!!!

I hope i have well introduced you to my favorite day of the year , well now it’s your turn to tell us about yours.
