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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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...
"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.

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.
(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.

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...
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.
"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.
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.
Eric Stonestreet is an American actor.
