In the blog should appear some "Nyan-cats" flying around, and if you don't click on them, they will grow bigger ^^'''

Thanks to my brother for wasting time in this kind of stuff.

Describing an actor in a series : Eric Stonestreet as Cameron Tucker

Eric Stonestreet is an American actor.

In the American series "Modern Family", Eric plays the role of Cameron Tucker, a gay chubby male character. He's an extroverted person, who gets nervous really easy and does anything for his daughter. He is a very sensitive person, and he's like the opposite of his couple, Mitchell Pritchet. He loves also making movies of his daughter, with costumes of famous people. He argue a lot with Mitchell, but they love each other, and it's viewed in a lot of scenes (but Cameron often showes it, instead of Mitchell, who seems a little unsensitive).


Opinion

I think is the most funny character in the series, and the character is really good played. I really like the behave of the character, because it's really uncommon. I identify myself with him a lot, and for all of this, Eric is my favourite actor. The actor, even being heterosexual, plays very good his character, and I think that's good for this society, because the people who are homophobic can see that's normal (and common) being gay.

Reading time ! : IT

George Denbrough, a five year-old child, was brutally murdered in Derry, a small village. His brother, Bill Denbrough, wanted to revenge him, and, with some friends (all of them were children who were bullied by Henry Bowers, a teenager boy), they solved the mistery of the death...
But, 27 years later, they received a phone call from Derry (because they moved from there), and they realised that they don't finish totally with IT; their memories of childhood were completely erased. The seven friends decided to came another time to Derry, to finish with IT, knowing that they can die...


Opinion

One of the greatest books I ever read. It's a really extense narration, but it can catch you by the first 100 pages. The language is colloquial, and it's simple to understand. It isn't only an horror story; it talks about a lot of different problems, like children bulling, women abuse, discrimination to homosexual people,...
Yes, for people who scares easily, it's really difficult to begin, because of the main topic of the book. But, if I say the truth, I'm a very shy and scarey person; I only read this book because I've heard that it's a really good book... And it's the truth.

Describing a videogame character : Reisen Udongein Inaba

Reisen is a character of the Touhou videogame series, created by ZUN from 1996(It's still continuing).

Reisen is a legendary rabbit who came from the Moon to the Earth (she was looking for a refuge, because there was a war, the Lunar War). Making her way to Gensokyo (an imaginary world of Touhou videogame series) she was surprised to meet the notorious fugitives Kaguya and Eirin (two "youkais" (it's like a monster, but with a human form, more or less)), and asked for asylum in Eientei (a part of Gensokyo). In exchange, she works for and protects Kaguya and Eirin.


Opinion

Reisen is one of my favourite characters of the videogame series, because of her behave and bullet patterns when you "fight"against her. She have powers in "Insanity", to make people going crazy (these powers come from her eyes: red and frightening), and it's a funny power, comparing to other characters powers. Ironically, I like her personality, which is one of the more stable and balanced personalities in Gensokyo.

Opinion : It's better to be religious or not?

NOTE: It's only my opinion.

When I think in religion, a thing that comes to my head is that's a lie, but... Even don't trusting in God, you can trust in the Biblia. I'm gonna explain it.

As you noticed, I don't believe in God. I think it's a way to control the thinking way of the people... But even "knowing" that, I've read the Biblia (more or less, because I read the most, but not all). This book it's like a science-fiction (miracles and stuff) biography of a lot of people who we don't exactly if they had lived truly in this world. It explain a lot of moral facts (it's really known that it have a lot of contradictions too), and it can be very good for people: they can find who they truly are. But also it's a very bad thing, because it can gives you a lot of prejudices (a lot, but a lot very big), and/or it can makes you think different (even being a contradiction for your real ideals, making feeling you bad and removing your self-esteem).
Because it's a thing that it can't be demostrated, there's a lot of people who believe in God. Maybe people who don't trust it can't say "It's a lie!", because they can't give a solid evidence about God's unexistance... But I think that if there's a God, why is he playing with us? Even knowing the unfair who is the life, even spending their whole lifes praying, even these things, there're people who "serfs" God! I think if it really exists, it would be better to be rebel... It's like "I've created you, but now I'm enjoying your suffer and I've given you rules to spent stupidily your short lives, unenjoying them".

With this, I'm not pretending to turn "believers" into atheists; of course not. When people feel alone and sad, they have to have a thing to trust on it, and maybe religion can be useful for these people. My conclusion is that people have to realise in what they want to believe really, without being influenced.

Spain election: Rajoy's Popular Party predicted to win

20th of November

Today there're the votation for a new president in Spain, and the prediction is that Mariano Rajoy's party (the PP) will win. With slow growth and almost five million unemployed, the economy has been at the heart of the election campaign, and Rajoy focuses on that; that's why he's the favourite in the surveys.

All this mess is going to affect me, because I'm living here, in a country where most of people only thinks there are only two parties for voting. I'm sick of it, really. It seems that PSOE and PP are the only parties (even in TV, only talking about them); PSOE don't know how to manage money and PP is a conservator party who is obsessed on it.

I'm very frightened, because the times are changing and the people are very nervous because of the situation. And all of these things give me a reflection: is it like in Germany in the 2nd World War? Yes, when a person read this maybe thinks that's an exageration, but... I don't know. I have a lot of nightmares lately about this, and surely they're affecting me... Gas chambers, killing people without remorse... Really, I'm scared. Before thesethings , in Germany there was a depression, with a lot of unemployed people... I see Rajoy like a modern Hi**er.

Oral presentation : Ikebana

Real text
ikebana

What I said
Ikebana Transcription

Self-Evaluation

Well, I was very nervous, and I think I did it... good. I spent all the day before the presentation in front off a mirror talking alone and my mum though that I've went crazy. I think maybe it can be a good idea to do the presentation only in front off the teacher, but, well, it's not possible, so... I don't know how to not get nervous in front off the class, with people who did trips around the world, really bigger things than my... small flowery view. That makes me feel some embarrased, and I was looking at the screen most of the time.
My intonation was correct, but my pronunciation in some parts was really terrible. A lot of "and's", it's", and... everytime I said "slanting", I did it in a different way!

Describing a videogame character : Kirby

Kirby is a videogame character (now he protagonizes an animated series too) created by the actual president of Nintendo when he wasn't the president. He though that it could be an arriscated marketing strategy because the first videogame was going to introduce a new concept in the platform videogame type; Mario was in that time the king, and a pink ball (first in black and white) that copy his enemies powers by absorbing them and floating like a ballon was a really weird idea... But it was good! Kirby gained a lot of popularity, and now he's known by all the platform videogame players. The cutest platform hero is played worldwide, by people of all ages.


Opinion

Kirby is my favourite videogame character! His games can be played in a lot of different ways, because each level is like a labyrinth (in most of the games), and, if you're not good playing, you can also pass floating. That's one of the reasons that Kirby is played by all type of players.
He's very cute and pink, so most of people who didn't play a kirby's videogame thinks those videogames are for girls, but it's not true. Maybe the history it's a little childlike, but that isn't the reason for criticize it; Kirby have to thank his popularity to his peculiar habilities.
Other thing is the games' BSO. Here you can listen two really known theme songs of the games:


The music of the first stage in "Nightmare in Dreamland", for Game Boy Advance. What a sweet memories.


Meta Knight's (Kirby's enemy) theme. That song appears most of the times when this character appears.

Cinema time ! : Behind the walls (Detrás de las paredes)

Yesterday I went to the cinema with some friends, and we saw that movie.

Will eightenten, a writer, bought a new home. Soon, he and his family realised that in that house are passing weird things, like seeing black-masked men spying them through windows or teenagers doing black magic in their basement. Will discovered that in the house there were 3 murderings 5 years ago, and the murdered ones are his family, killed by him.
He was seeing ghosts... Will began a investigation, sure that he couldn't kill his children and his wife; this is dangerous, because the real murderer is free, somewhere... Wanting to "correct his mistakes".


Opinion

I was looking for a suspense film, and it was like suspense, but very, very bad... I though I was going to sleep. I don't like it at all, because it don't have much... "hook". At the end, it had the worst finish I remember; all the people in the cinema were asking "Is it finished? Really?", because it gave an empty sensation (As you're noticing, I don't know how to describe this exactly). There were some too boring scenes.
The most I liked was the images and the scenarios. Also there was few sensitive moments, but there weren't very deep at all. The soundtrack was very low for a suspense film, and I don't like the plot, which, from my view point, is like a child story (all have that "strange" finish).
I don't recommend this movie to anyone, because I think it's better to see other suspense films (like "While you're sleep", for example; a good one). I think it was the worst movie I ever seen in the cinema.
Well, it works good being an excuse for meeting my friends; that's what I liked the most.

Lady Gaga's Born This Way anti-bullying charity launch

3rd of November

Lady Gaga, the famous singer, is launching a charity which fights against the bulling in young people. Realising that was a real big problem (by a fan’s suicide, discriminated only for being gay), she wants to stop it, launching the charity, officially, the next year.

Well, it doesn’t affects me directly, because I’m not in a bulling situation. But I know some people who are very sad because of that, and I feel vey sorry, because they are really good people, but the bullys, who only cares about the superficial things, don’t mind about it.

I’m sure that one day, it will stop. Surely I’ll be dead when it stop, because most of the people don’t care about saying or doing things, before they act. That’s one of the problems who have this society; most of the people thinks after actuing, being cruel, even don’t having that intention. Just for fun, maybe someone says. Oh, my God, empathize a little. Only a little, and you maybe realise how much you’re making suffer that poor person or people.

My birthday and Razi’s Videoblog

Last Saturday was my birthday. I only received a chocolates box from my mother, but I don’t care about it, because the people who love me (as family, as friend,...) called me by phone to congratulate me. Also there’s a lot of people who do it through Facebook. I felt very emotional, feeling that warm. I was thankful.
I think the birthday is one more day in the live, like all the others. I think that day is for realize of that the people who are around you want your happiness.

I mean, the only what makes special that day is the people who loves you, isn’t it?

I spent most of the day talking by phone or thinking about my life; my duties, my future, and all the stuff what is in my head (I’m a person who likes to think at every single moment), and I consolidated my dreams and my ideals. It was raining outside, and it made a strange atmosphere.


Well, today a friend sent me a video, to congratulate me again. It’s like a call to the radio, but by email, and through a series of a boy that lives in Japan (it’s like a diary); my friend likes the series a lot, so he sent the message, knowing there’s a section who is for congratuling people. Here is the video (in Spanish, unfortunately):



You surely laugh with Razi (the series maker); he’s an Spanish boy who is already living in Japan, and he talks about his life in Japan, to help the people who wants to get there one day.

Well, I was very illusionated when I saw it; my friend didn’t say me what’s going to appear in the video, like a surprise.


Razi’s videoblog: Here.

Japan: One of my favourite countries

Well, when someone who don’t know much about Japan have to talk about it, he surely says that Japan is a an island, in the Pacific Ocean. Maybe some people want to go further, saying that Japan is the worldwide leader in technology. And there’s some of these people who know about the traditional Japan.
I don’t know much about traditions or manners of Japanese people, but I know one thing as minimum... And that’s Japan most important thing for me: In that country, the flowers have a very strong presence, and are the protagonists of some traditional rituals, like Ikebana, which consists on making compostion with flowers/plants in a recipient (bowl,...), normally made of ceramic.

Yes, it can be a little weird coming from a boy to talk about flowers, but I don’t mind. I love to watch flowers. I love to smell their sweet fragance, touching softly their petals to sense their mildness. The flowers are very important in my life, because I relay them with my feelings and some significant memories.
That’s why I like Japan. I want to travel there to feel free for doing that, without the typical people with prejudices about boys watching flowers. Here, in Spain, you can’t do that; maybe you can ignore those people, but that can evolute into a bulling situation, or you can feel very violent, because it’s a sensitive moment. One of my dreams is to watch the cherry flowers falling in the floor with my couple. I’ve seen it on videos, but it’s not the same.

Here you can know more about Ikebana: Here.


And for extra, this is a friend’s blog for learning Japanese. It’s in Spanish: Here.

Cinema time ! : While you’re sleep (Mientras duermes)

Last Saturday, I saw this movie with a friend, looking for an horror movie because Halloween was near. We were looking for “Paranormal Activity 3”, but it wasn’t there, so, we decided to see that movie.

It talks about the life of a man, a sad life. He’s a doorman, who enjoy the pain of the others, because he thinks that is the only way he can be happy. But, suddenly, he noticed that a girl was always smiling. He tries to make her suffer, but she keeps smiling, without noticing that the doorman was trying to make pain to her.
Soon, the continued smiling, day by day, turned the bad intention into an obsession, and the doorman propose to himself to do anything to erase that smile. Anything.


Opinion

Well, I supposed it was an horror movie, but it looked more like a suspense film (but there was some terror, after all). Anyway, I liked it. In some scenes, I remember that I though to embrace my friend’s arm, because I felt a lot of pressure in my heart. I didn’t do that, but the cold thinking way of the main character (the doorman) scared me. The characters were correctly interpreted, but not perfect, from my view point. There was a good soundtrack, that gave me chills in some scenes.

Well, if you have a pesimist view point, I recommend you to go and see this movie; but if you’re a sensitive person, who scares easily, you can enjoy it, but go with other person. You’ll be better. This movie isn’t a masterpiece, but is a good one, and makes you think about the human thinking ways.
Only imagining how cold can be a person, I felt very scared, trying to not think that everyone around me was a murderer when I was getting out of the room. Yes, distress. That's exactly what I felt during the movie.

Very funny, when I remember it in my room; but seriously, I felt very scared, surely because I’m a person who thinks a lot. Too much sometimes, I think.

Escaping in the night (Part 1)

NOTE: This is an horror story!

All began that day.It was 21st of June, the day when the school had finished.
As usually, I smiled when the last bell rang. After I walked to my bus, thinking about the summer: friends, ice-creams, beach,... and when I reached home, I noticed that my parents were out. I don’t have any brothers or sisters.

I made a sandwich to had a snack, because it was about 5pm. Later, I spent the whole afternoon watching TV. But once it got dark, I remembered that my mother said that I had to buy bread for dinner before she reach home. I looked the kitchen’s clock, and I screamed “Oh, no! It’s about 9pm! Mum will kill me!” I was lucky, because she work until 9:30pm, so I picked some money and I started to run, wishing that my mother delay some time.

The path to the shop is a narrow passage; in the night, it can be a little scary to pass through it, because of its illumination (a phantomly orange light were issued by the few old lamps that were placed high, in the walls of some houses), but it was the only way to go faster. I kept runing, but it was a really long path; so, I got tired at 5 minutes of running. Then I stopped, starting to walk normal.

Suddenly, I heard a strange noise, like a bubling meowth, like a cat which was drowning, behind me. I felt chills, but I didn’t stop walking, ignoring that strange sound and the chilly atmosphere around.

Fairytale: The child who didn't want to be king (Part 1)

NOTE: I tried making this story with some impersonal characters, like the main character. The story evoluted too much faster, and I can't continue with it... So, I'll make a list with the impersonal characters, described like they were all boys (he, him, hero...), but you have to use your own imagination. That was one of the main objectives of this story.
Oh, if you put on the music I chose, you'll enjoy more the story. But you have to put it when you get there! It means that when you arrive to the music player, you have to put on the music. When you'll read with the music, read slowly.


Once upon a time, there was a noble child who was different than the other noble childs. While the boys were wrestling and trying to make angry any girl, and the girls were playing with dolls or being disturbed by the boys, our little hero use to draw and walk through the castle's garden, smelling the flowers. He was a very sensitive person, who felt very strong his feelings. His parents misteriously dissapeared few years ago. There was an extraordinary search for them, because they were really kind people, but anyone found them.
So, our little kid grown up with his uncle Mousse, the king of the Forest Kingdom, but he felt very lonely all the time. His aunt and uncle were unable to have a child, and they want our hero to be king when Mousse pass away.
Our child didn't want that. He saw a lot of poor people in the streets of the village, and he felt very sorry for them. He couldn't understand how his uncle could rest peacefully knowing the existence of that. When he asked him, his uncle only said: "They're only trash, little." Our hero saw his uncle's face while he was saying that... And our hero understood. Without saying anything, he ran to his room, and he began to cry, knowing, scared, that he must be like that cruel one day, without any escape.
But, before he could reach his room, 3 noble children saw him. They started to make fun of him. Our unfortunated hero started to run faster, but he fell in the floor... The other 3 children laughed more louder, make him cry more. He stood up slowly, and he walked to his room, trying to stop crying, but when he locked his room's door after him, he jumped in the bed, starting to cry again.
Before he can notice, the door slamed, and his uncle Mousse grabbed his neck. The king started to shout: "MY SUCCESSOR CAN'T CRY! STOP, OR I'LL KICK YOU!" He can't stop crying; our little hero was totally scared, shouting very louder... "DAMN, SHUT UP!" His uncle threw him to the bed, and he started to go, but he said: "If I hear that you were crying, I'll kick you until you consume all your stupid tears. You heard me, don't you?"
Silence.
"DO YOU HEAR ME?!" "Yes, uncle, yes!" Said our hero trying to not cry again, trembling. After this, the king went out, slaming the door for second time...

Then, our hero layed in the bed, and the silence came again...




Our hero woke up when it was night. He couldn't hear anything in the castle, so he imagined that all were sleeping. He remembered all the day.
Then, he started to cry again.
"Why are the people cruel with me? It's unfair"
He sobbed.
"They have all they want... And I can have it too, but... The only I need..."
His tears started to ran through his rosy cheeks, falling in the bed, while he was sobbing...
"I... I... I don't want all that things... I don't want power, gold, or a lot of people at my orders..."
He looked through the window... The full moon, shining in a white light, was high in the sky, illuminating the garden. The flowers, leapt in that pure light, were closed, waiting for the sun to open again. He stopped crying, feeling a lonely sentiment.
"All I want is my parents coming back through the castle's big door. I want to embrace them again, laugh with them, create unforgotable moments... I don't want anything else..."
He started to cry again, laying down in the bed... He didn't know how much time he was crying, but, finally, he fell sleep, while a tear was still sliding slowly through his cheek...

Podcasting activity: My dialogue with Tadzio

José: Today we are in a robots factory. We're gonna talk with the first creation of the famous mad scientist Avogadro Stahngun. Hello! What's your name?

Tadzio:Hi, human. My name is Human Jr.

J: What an unusual name!

T: I like Belgian hazelnut chocolate mousse with strawberries and stuff.

J: To the point, please. Do you know what you really are?

T: I'm from Finnland, Moikka.

J: But... I mean... That's not what I asked for...

T: You asked nothing, for you've lied.

J: By the way, can we take this serious, please?

T: Yes! Of course! If you don't interrupt me all the time...

J: Okay... Erm... What do you do during your free time?

T: I play basketball. It gets my circuits all pumped up.

J: That's a nice hobby. Do you even have arms?

T: I lost them in a tragic bear wrestling accident. Long story.

J: So you don't play basketball anymore?

T: Yes, with my feet, of course. I'm better at it now.

J: Why did you wrestle with a bear anyway?

T: I don't know, maybe because I thought it would be fun.

J: Any more stupid things you did during your lifetime?

T: Not really.

J: Any smart stuff?

T: I like bananas.

J: Okay, so... What's your favourite fruit?

T: A pear.

J: Only one?

T: One at a time. I get stomach ache if I eat to much of them.

J: Did your creator give you any special functions?

T: I wasn't created, I spontaneously appeared in a lab.

J: So you're God, huh?

T: No, that's you!

J: Ok, this thing's broken, let's finish before we touch more dangerous topics.

"Thirteen" vs. "The secret diary of Adrian Mole"

Well, well; here we have two examples of teenagers. They are in a common troubles on their age, but in different grade of hazard: Adrian is a teenager with a separate parents and have some problems in the school, but Tracy is manipulated by her own mind, trying to win "popularity". Well, is true that the wish of popularity can be very strong... But, have popularity a cost like the own personality? Tracy had to destroy all her life to win pain (to herself and to the people who really love her), false friends (leaving the real ones) and a dark future. Maybe Adrian will have a good future (I don't read the continuation), but if he continues devaluing the people who take care of him and valorating false friends like Nigel, I think he would finish like Tracy, or worse.

I have a very different form of thinking than these two teenagers, and the only I can say is... You have to realise of what you really want. You have to continue straigth, beating the obstacles, and being yourself, without being influenced. I can't put in their place; those things never affect me, because I have my goals and my objectives very clear. I think Tracy's situation is the most easy to avoid; if she didn't care about "being popular", she didn't had any problems! It's her own fault; it sounds a little cruel, but it's the truth... Adrian's problems are difficult to avoid: a bully, his parents' separation,... This last can be very traumathic; I know some people who have this problem. Unfortunately, it seems to be very common nowadays.
I feel sorry, because I know these terrible situation are real for a lot of people; but also I see that people hurting (phisically of psychologically) other people who are in a similar situation. If you are in problems, you must find help, without make pay for your pain other people. For this reason, these situations aren't shocking to me; in my town, there's some people who have a worse situation than that.

Cinema time ! : Sakura CardCaptors, The Movie

This is the first film of the series. Sakura Kinomoto, a child girl who is capturing Clow Cards (magic cards), won a trip to Hong-Kong in a contest. She went there to spend her holidays, with her friends Tomoyo and Yukito, and her brother Toya.
All would was fine if Sakura doesn't start to have strange premonitory dreams, which alert her of a "powerful evil" who wants to attack her; Clow Reed, the Card's Maker, also had enemies.


Opinion

It was a very good movie! I like the numerous cute and sweet things that we can see in this film; the love is present most of the time. Oh, I also like the soundtracks, which are well adapted to the situations. The lovely japanese voices of the characters are a little wrong dubbed, but I also saw the japanese version with the subtitles in English, and it has a better traduction.
I give an 8 for this movie. Yeah, it's a very sweet one, but for a person who saw the series, the introduction of Sakura's life is too boring; it talks about the same of the series. I'm sorry, but I really don't like it.

Friday Night!

Last night I had a really great time! I went to Figueres with my friend Adrián, his cousin Marina, his aunt Montse and a friend of his aunt.
We left Sant Miquel at eight p.m. by car. The moon was rising up; it was really red! When we reach Figueres, first Montse decided to wait for Nicole, who didn't arrived yet to the train station, so we took a walk, visiting a clothing store. After that, we went to drink something in a bar near to the station, and then Nicole arrived.
We went to a Chinese and Japanese Wok after that. During the dinner, we laugh a lot. We spent about 2 hours in the restaurant, eating a lot! Later, we went to another bar to drink something again, and then we return to Sant Miquel. I reached home at one a.m.


Opinion

It was a wonderful night! I really enjoy the environment; it was very warm and friendly. I felt a little sleppy, but it doesn't affect the fun. I'd like to repeat it... when I gained some money --'''.

Ayumi Hamasaki

Ayumi Hamasaki is a japanese singer, who sings in pop style basically.
She acted with other famous japanese singers like Utada Hikaru to make
the BGM of some RPG games. Ayumi sings in japanese, with her own style.
Her songs normally are pop, but sometimes they are like rock... It's
called J-POP; that name came from Japanese pop.
Opinion
I really like her songs! They remind me about a good friend who is far
away. With these songs, I feel emotional and nostalgic, remembering
some memories of the time we spent together in summer.
She's also friendly with her fans, which is unusual (I think) for a
rich popstar; it's a thing that I really like.
NOTE: I have to thank my friend Adriá for helping me making this entry.

Just an advice for my classmates

Some of the Goear's songs have an advertisiment. After this, the song will start automatically. DON'T PUSH THE PLAY BUTTON, OR MAYBE IT LOCKS AND YOU HAVE TO UPDATE THE PAGE TO LISTEN THE SONG!

Luna (My little cat)

My cat's name is Luna. She's seven months old (more or less). My family adopted her from the house of a partner from my mother's job. We had a talk about which tasks each member of my family would have to do before the adoption. I agreed to feed her; my father has to clean the sand everyday, and my brother has to give her water.
The especial day arrived. After we went shopping in Figueres, we went to get the cat. She was only two months! Luna was very small (and I have to say it: She was (and is) very cute!).
Now, Luna becomes a black huge cat, who enjoys bitting me and my brother.


Opinion

I love Luna. Maybe it's disgusting when she bites you, but she's only playing... And, I don't know, she makes me feel like a father, maybe because of the duties, that you've to do them even if they're bad.

Love story (Part 1)

Introduction: This a story that I'm writing alright now. If you can't read very sweet things, I recommend you to don't continue reading. Enjoy!

Last September began the school! I'm now in forth of ESO. All was new for me, because I did the other three grades of ESO in other center and I didn't know anyone. I was lost and lonely. Fortunately, a nice teacher comes with me to show my class.
When I opened the door, all the students were sitting in their chairs. I felt very scared when they stared at me all at the same time. Staring at the floor, I went to the only free chair and I sat on it.
The lessons passed without problems. No one talked to me, so I've been relaxed most of the time. In the playground time I went to the library to stay alone. I was doing my homework when a boy came to sit next to me.
I was very surprised and scared. The first thing I though that he was a bad guy who wants to make fun of me. The boy stared at me for a long while. I was getting a little nervous, so I said him with a disgusting voice:

- What the f*ck are you looking at?

I saw his face. He was very scared.

- I... I... I just want... to borrow you t-the eraser... Bu-but it doesn't mind...

I felt very sorry for that boy. It seemed he was alone, like me. It wasn't my intention to be bad with an innocent boy. Before he left, I tried to apologize:

- Oh, sorry! It was a confusion; I mistaked you with another person. Here is the eraser.
- Th-thanks...

The boy came to pick the eraser, but when he touched my hand, I felt a strange thing, like lightning struking through me. He looked surprised, like me. But before I could say a word, the boy left the library...

TV time ! : Nobuta wo Produce

"Nobuta wo Produce" (that means Nobuta's Production in japanese) is a japanese series, filmed in real places with real people (called Dorama). It talks about "the Production" of Nobuta -a cute teenage girl -which consists in make her popular in the high-school. The "Producers" are the most popular boys in the school -Shuji and Akira-, who wants to help her because she's a victim of bulling. While the production, the three teenagers learn important lessons and they mature. But it isn't all happy: a bad teenager makes some traps to screw Nobuta. Through real situations, they solve all the mess, being really good friends.


Opinion

I think this is a good Dorama; it expresses an actual situation, without any magic elements (well, there's a chapter where you can see three ghosts, but anything else). You can realise about a problem that make unhappy a lot of people (if it you never minded about it, this can be a very good oportunity to begin).
At the end, I felt very emotional; I won't explain it, but I recommend this series to people who like to though.

Selectivitat reading : Jet Lag

Part two

How has the air travel changed the way people spend their holidays?

Before we could use air travel, most people spent their holidays in the same country, unknowing a lot about other cultures. Today we can go out to another country, increasing our knowledge and enjoying ourselves in many different ways.
We can also forget our prejudices about foreigners, make new friends, change our life vision and make some memorable and unusual situations which we can't repeat in the future (we can take a lot of digital photos).
In conclusion, I think air travel has changed a lot the way we spend our holidays; with air travel, a door to a world of possibilities is opened.

NOTE: Part one is being corrected by the teacher.

Opinion : Typical topics

When we talk about topics, basically we're referring to a typical "way of doing" of a collective. There are a lot of topics: they can talk about a country, of how to behave,... But, they are real, or is it just an invention? Those "ways of doing" have to had any reason, I think. Let's see some topics:

- Catalan people are stingy
- Girls are more emotional than boys *
- Boys don't cry in public and don't show their feelings *

I disagree with this, because I think that every person is a different world; maybe the topics could describe the "common" behaviour of people, but it was in the past. Now it have no sense. I think they're not real, because I have a lot of friends that behave contrary to the topics: for example, I know a boy who is the most emotional person I ever know.
These topics only contribute to make this society an intolerant one with all the person who have a different behaviour. I think that is better to make them disapear, because we can hurt someone with a topic.

* = In this society, we unconsciously assimilate that things; but now, more and more people behave in different forms, although a lot of people thinks that's "the correct way of behave". Obviously, I completely disagree with this "correct way of behave".

NOTE: I'm thinking in a photo!
NOTE 2: This is just my opinion. I apologize if I offended someone.

Music time ! : Nightmare - Avenged Sevenfold

Translation

Nightmare! / Malson!

(Now your nightmare comes to life) / Ara el teu malson cobra vida

Dragged you down below down to the devils show, / Arrastrat per sota de sota fins al show dels dimonis,
To be his guest forever, / Per ser el seu invitat per sempre,
Peace of mind is less than never / La pau de la ment és menor que mai
Hate to twist your mind, but God aint on your side / Odien giravoltar la teva ment, però Déu no està de la teva part
An old acquaintance severed, / Un vell conegut tallat,
Render of your last endeavor / Reproductor del teu últim esforç

Ashes burning, you can smell it in the air, / Cendres cremant, pots olorar-ho a l'aire,
Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal. / Perquè els homes com tu tenen una ànima fàcil de robar.
So stand in line while banging numbers in your head, / Així que quedat a la fila mentre et colpegem números al cap,
Youre now a slave until the end of time / Ara ets un esclau fins al final dels temps
And nothing stops the madness turning, / I res para a la bogeria,
haunting, yearning, pull the trigger! / obsesionant, anhelant, prem el gallet!

You should have known /Hauries d'haver sabut
The price of evil, / El preu de la maldat
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah / I fa mal saber que hi pertanys, yeah
Ooooh, it's your fuckin nightmare / Ooooh, és el teu maleït malson
While your nightmare comes to life / Mentre el teu malson cobra vida

Cant wake up in sweat, cause it aint over yet, / No pots despertar ple de suor *, perquè encara no s'ha acabat,
Still dancing with your demons, / Encara ballant amb els teus dimonis,
Victim of your own creation beyond the will to fight, / Víctima de la teva pròpia creació darrere la voluntat de lluitar,
Where all thats wrong is right / On tot el que està malament està bé
where hate dont need a reason / on l'odi no necessita una raó
Love is self-assassination / Estimar és un suicidi

You've been lied to just to rape you of your sight, / Has estat enganyat per només destruir-te de la vista, *2
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel. / I ara gosen dir-te com sentir.
So sedated as they medicate your brain / Tan sedat a mesura que ells et mediquen el cervell
And while ya slowly go insane the tell you / I poc a poc et torna boig el dir
Give in with your best intentions / Cedir amb bona intenció
Help ya with your complications / Ajudar-te amb els teus problemes

You should have known the price of evil / Hauries d'haver sabut el preu de la maldat
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah / I fa mal saber que hi pertanys, yeah
No one to call, everybody to fear / Ningú per trucar, tothom per a témer
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah. / El teu destí tràgic es veu clar, yeah.
Ooooh it's your fuckin nightmare ha ha ha ha!!! / Ooooh és el teu maleït malson ha ha ha ha!!!

(ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Fight, not to fail / Lluitar, no fallar
Not to fall/ No caure
Or you'll end up like the others. / O acabaràs com els altres.
Die, die again / Morir, morir un altre cop
Drenched in sin / Empapat en el pecat
With no respect for another / Sense respecte pels altres
Oh!

Death / Mort
Feel the fire / Sent el foc
Feel the hate / Sent l'odi
Your pain is what we desire. / El teu sofriment és el que desitjem.
Lost, hit the wall / Perdut, colpeja la paret
Watch you crawl / Mirar com s'arrossega
Such a replaceable liar. / Com un mentider remplaçable.

And I know you hear their voices / I sé que escoltes les seves veus
(calling from above), / trucant per sobre,
And I know they may seem real / I sé que potser semblen reals
(these signals of love), / aquests signes d'amor
But a life's made up of choices / Però una vida està feta d'opcions
(some without appeal), / algunes sense dir,

They took for granted your soul / Ells agafen per concedida la teva ànima
And it's ours now to steal / I és el nostre moment per a robar
As your nightmare comes to life / Mentres el teu malson cobra vida

You should have known the price of evil / Hauries d'haver sabut el preu de la maldat
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah. / I fa mal saber que hi pertanys, yeah.
No one to call, everybody to fear, / Ningú per trucar, tothom per a témer,
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah / El teu destí tràgic es veu clar, yeah
Ooooh it's your fuckin nightmare! / Ooooh és el teu maleït malson!


Opinion

This song expresses my fears, I think: This title is perfect for the song!. I like this song because it comforts me when I'm very sad (yes, maybe it's a contradiction if you look at the lyrics, but in this song I can only hear clearly the refrain and some scattered words: it's too difficult. Of course, I need to get the lyrics from youtube, and I've correct them).

* = Tipically, when awake after a nightmare, humans usually are sweating.
*2 = I'm not sure about this traduction...

NOTE: Maybe I'll put the videoclip.

Describing a manga character : Kerberos

Kerberos (also known as "Kero" or "Kero-chan") is one of the main characters in the japanese anime series "Cardcaptors Sakura" (originally it was a manga made by "CLAMP").

Kero protected the Clow Card's Book until Sakura - the most important character - unleashed them by mistake. Once the cards dissapear, Kero woke up from his sleep and guide Sakura to collect all them up. Unfortunately, Kero lost his true form without the cards, so he turned into a creature which ressembles a plush toy.

In his true form, Kerberos ressembles a winged lion with some ornamentation. He's strong and brave, and he can use some magical powers. Kero is responsible and serious in this form. Her voice is also more heavy than his false form.

Being in his "fake" form, Kero-chan is more cute!: He ressembles a winged teddy bear. He can't use all his powers, but Kero doesn't mind; in that form, he can hide between Sakura's plush toys and no one can discover him.
Also, Kero turns more irresponsible and cheerful. He likes to eat sweet things (he can't stop; maybe it can turns into a problem) and play videogames all the time.


Opinion

Kero - in his fake form - is one of my favourite manga characters! He so cute and graceful... Also I like his lovely voice in the series, especifically in japanese.
Sincerely, I don't like him in his true form.

Awww, Kero's so freaking adorable!!! >///<

New Zealand attacks Japan's decision to resume whaling

5th of October

New Zealand thinks the Japan's whaling plans in the Antarctica are "entirely disrespectful".
Japan stopped whaling because of harassment from anti-whaling activists, but now wants to start again, and N.Z. wants to help the activist group called "Sea Shepherd".

This hunting don't affects me directly; I want to say "I disagree with Japan", but it isn't completely true... In fact, I don't know why they hunt whales; maybe is necessary. Obviously, I don't like the massive and irresponsible hunting... But controled, and if the reasons are good, I don't understand why we have to stop. Someone can say "poor whales..."; OK. Now, think in the meat you're eating weekly. Who has more rights, the pigs or the whales. By the same way, I also don't understand why they chase whales; what have whales that no other animal has?
Notice that I'm not defending any position; I can't give any solid opinion without knowing Japan's reasons. Do Japan do that for a scientific research programm, or is it commercial whaling in another guise?

Music time ! : Sanctuary - Utada Hikaru

"Huh? I think I've already heard this song..."
That's what I think the first time I heard it in English. This is an English version made of the japanese song -Passion- of Utada Hikaru. I started playing one of my favourite videogames (Kingdom Hearts II) and I heard it as title song. I knew the japanese version before, and I really like it; actually it's one of my favourite songs. That time, I couldn't believe what I was listening ("WOW, an English version *u*!").
But well, this song also gives me really important memories of some moments in my life, and it remembers me some special people.

NOTE: I'm trying to do a traduction.

Opinion : What is best, be thin or chubby?

Well, this seems a "simple" question, but it isn't. This afternoon I talked with some friends about this, and I have a conclusion that I explain later.

When young people see a fat person (but I'm referring to a "normal-one"; in this society, a lot of adults are fat, but not over-weighted), they normally... "don't like it". They think that is better to be thin; I can understand that. But I'm not referring that. I'm talking about the appearance (today, it seems to be really important).

This give us another question, more difficult. What is more attractive, a chubby person or the typical stereotype of the super-thin model? Well, most of the people prefers the second one (male or female, it doesn't matter)... But I don't know why. Maybe this society is too superficial, only the "perfect" body is the wanted one. But I think the true attractiveness is inside the people: if a very beautiful model ask me to get a date with him, but it's not a kind person, I'll reject (in a kind form, for not hurt his feelings).

That reflection gives me a conclusion: it doesn't mind if you're thin or chubby, while you feel okay by the way you are (I know how it feels for a fat boy to being displaced only for being that; but if you doesn't mind what the others say, you can be very happy being thin or chubby); I think the only what matters isn't the body, it's the heart.


Of course, I know being thin is better for do exercise (there are exceptions; a person with health problems maybe is thin and isn't able for doing exercise, and a person can be chubby because he has that metabolysm and he can do exercise, to say few ones) ... I'm only talking about the appearance.


NOTE : Maybe you think that my opinion is strange; well, you don't know all about me, but I don't get anything of lying.
NOTE 2: I tried to not offend anyone, but if I did that, I apologize; it wasn't my intention.

Reading time ! : Eragon

Summary

Eragon, an 15 year-old boy, lived peacefully in a village in the mountains, with his uncle and his cousin. They were farmers, having a normal life.
But, one day, an strange blue stone appeared in front of Eragon, and a dragon borned from it. Soon, he had to escape from the king of Alagaësia, a mad man who wanted him for his dark purpouses.

Soon, he realized, seeing the true of the outside world, that the destiny of Alagaësia was on his shoulders.


Opinion

I think this is one of the best books I ever read. Normally, I only read fantasy books, and if I have to say what book I prefer to read another time, probably I'll choose this one.
The history is exciting and had characteristics of a real good one: a big journey, some emotional moments... Also I like it because of Eragon's evolution; through the experience, a young farmer becomes a bold dragon rider.
The book has a standard vocabulary, and most of people can read it without problems.

Some facts I like:

• The book is in 4 different languages, counting the English: The Urgal Language, the Dwarf Language and the Ancient Language. The Urgal Language is talked by the Urgals, the Dwarf Language is talked by the Dwarfs, and the Ancient Language is talked by the Elves and it's used to make spells. I love that fact, because I think it helps to absorb you into the story.
  

• The world of Eragon is called Alagaësia: Christopher Paolini (book's writer) inspired in the landscapes of Canada to create the world. I really like that; everytime I tried to wrote a story (before I read the book), I had the impulse of making a map of the world in the story. Like the languages, it helps "to enter" in the story.

Summary (not mine): Here. I made my summary by myself, without reading this summary before I made mine. I post it because I think a summary has a little of opinion of the maker, so it can be interesting to see another one.

TV time ! : The Big Bang Theory

23th of September

I was in the Language Room. That day, following my friend Tadzio's advice, we saw a chapter of the north-american series "The Big Bang Theory".

It was fun! There were a lot of gags, usually related with scientific facts or the things that Sheldon Cooper (the main character) do. Specifically, we saw the chapter number 22 («The Euclid Alternative»).

This episode talks about Sheldon's difficulties to get places, because he hasn't got a driver's permission. His friends try to help him, but he is too annoying and they have to force Sheldon to obtain his driving license (even the personal of the school get tired of Sheldon: he obtain his card without any exam!)

I really enjoy that episode, but I can't keep this out of my mind: If Sheldon be real, maybe his friends can hurt his feelings if they go in that way... In fact, they try to keep him away.

Presentation mail

Hi Lourdes!

I'm José Yépez and I'm the student that you're looking for! Maybe you're bored of people who are lazy. Well then, I like working a lot! Most of my friends say that I'm a kind person, but a little mischievous sometimes.

Oh, no! My cat wants to bite me! Her name's Luna and she's six months old. I keep thinking that she sees me as a meal. And it's strange, because Luna doesn't bite anyone else. I don't want to ignore her, because she's little and needs love and affection.

My brother is doing his homework now. He's eleven years old and has a very bad handwriting. My parents work most of the days, so we stay alone at home.

I sometimes must cook and I like to do that; but the taste is unbeliavebly bad. How can good ingredients such spaguetti taste like something unknown?


I hope you like my presentation. I know; maybe it's a boring one, but I don't exactly know how I can present myself in an original way.

Have a nice weekend -^^- !
