The last of the mohicans

On the ending of class, in June, our teacher give us a book: the last of the Mohicans. First I thought that this sure will be very bored because in class we have seen yet the movie. Well, in theory we have seen it, but it was in the last week before summer, and I only saw the beginning.

So, I need to see the movie at home, I watched in the internet.

I think, the most differences between the book and the movie is that in the book are more information and details about the place, the Indians, the war between France and England (and the Indians). And the scene when they try to find Cora and Alice, are very very bored because really, nothing happens less that they are walking and searching them. These things made the book very bored, and the way how it's written as well. I know, it's adapted for students, to understand better, but I prefer a better way of writing. The vocabulary was more or less easy, the "new" words are explain on the book, and the other words I don't understand, I asked my parents or search it on the dictionary.

Instead, at the movie the most important thing, less all the fights (too much for me), are the love story between Cora and Hawk-Eye. That's make the history more interesting, not so bored as the book.

And the thing I like most at the movie: the song! I love it! ^.^

Motorcycle

Since I was young I like motorcycles. My father had a moped, very old (he had it since he was young). The moped called Cleopatra, and I love it! But when we arrived here at Spain, somebody stole it one year later. I was very sad. I was crying during a whole day. Yes, I was crying for a moped...
Well, now we have a scouter and a big motorcycle, like a Harley Davidson, but not a really (it's Yamaha, I think). I enjoy every time when he takes me with him.

Since one month I'm going to classes, and when I finish school I'm going to do the exams, the teoric and the practic.So, I spend there one or two hours on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays, and do millions of tests. But I am also having a good time with Jenny, the "teacher". We always talking about our day, or we drink some coffee or Coke. There I do the teoric classes. The practice I haven't done it yet. But, of course, I have practised during the spring, on ways who were nobody or on different ways. I remember one day when I went to Santa Margarita with a friend, and it was amazing because I could be very fast :) I want to drive the scouter from my sister (on the photo).
I'm waiting to finish the important exams on school, then I will go to Girona to do the teoric and practise examen. And after?

A summer with scouter! :D

Italy picture

I love this picture! There are Marta and me, on the ship, in the morning, and we replayed a scene like Titanic. I remember that's was very windy (you can see it on our hair...) but it wasn't very cold. Uri take this photo, and later we take some other photos with him.
These last day from our trip to Italy, maybe was one of the more relaxed. During the whole day we don't need to do nothing, we only ate, read and relaxed all togheter.

It was a great trip!

Photography

I like a lot make photos. It's one of my biggest hobby and a thing that I do when I'm bored at home or every place else. Before I had my first camera, I always take the camera from my sister, she's got very angry, but I don't stop even I had my first digital camera. Since that I had it, I made a lot of photos from everything and everywhere. My family don't understand how can a make all this photos, but I always think: If I made 100 photos, while there were one good, all the other 99 could be bad.
My prefer scenes are the nature and the beach. A lot of days I take the bike and go to the "Aiguamolls de l'Empordà", (it's less than twenty minutes with the bike) and there I take photos from flowers, sometimes animals. I like the "macro-modus" because later you can see every little detail on the photo.
Last month I went to a photography course, and there I met a really good photographer (from my point of view): Roger. He taught me a lot of things, how with a "bad" camera (he means, a normal camera, who costs less than 100 € and not a reflex (500€)) can you take fantastic photos. The firsts days where a little bit bored, because he only explain and explain how the mechanismus run, a lot of rules to make good photos, how to adjust the different menus on the camera... But finally, at the last day, we go to made photos outsides, and there I understood how important it's to know all the theory, before you begin to made photos.
When this course finished, I decided to made a blog, with my best photos. Since I had create it (less that one month) more than 45 people have visited it yet.
Also, a friend of my father (who was photographer) take a look at my photos and said that I'm very talented, and that from the photos that I show him, he doesn't know what to criticize.

Now I'm waiting for the result of a contest, in the cataloniatoday. I saw that competition while I was reading at the language room. They yet have send me a e-mail, saying that I'm one of the finalists! I'm impatient for the result!

Working as a photographer is a big dream for me, but I'm realistic: there are millions of young photographers, and because that now first I make the science batxillerat.
For now it's only a hobby, but maybe, one day it will be my job.

Mobile phones

Today I am going to talk about mobile phones because it's an important part of my life. Just now I have received a text message, and so I have decided to write over that theme.
I think that there are a lot of positive thing from a mobile phone: you can always talk with everybody, send messages, take photos, play games, surf in the Internet, listen to music...
That are the good things. But isn't it nicer to hear a voice said I love you as receiving a wrong written message? Is it not better to wait impatient a call at home as that you always can talk with everybody?
How many times you receive a call or a message and after you are angry, sad or boring?

And all the money you can waste in calls! That can be very very expansive... Before I had a monthly contract, and I could spend what I would. Sometimes talking I forgot the time, and at the end of the month I received bills over 50 € or more. That was going so, until my parents wouldn't pay more, and cancel the contract. Now I have monthly about only 10 € from my parents and If I need more I had to pay it myself.

Finally, I think that a mobile phone is a good inversion, but sometimes it's also good to turn off it and be "incommunicable".

An ordinary day

Yesterday was Friday. The afternoon was like others. I had to go to the playback to practise my songs, it was the overview test and we must pracised the whole playback. Next week we have the playback. But, when I arrived... SURPRISE! Clara and my song is the first from the whole playback! I'm sure that I will be very, very nervous. And besides at the beginning from the song I'm sitting lonely on the stage, and beginning to "sing".

Well, we finished late, at half past four. I already haven't eat anything, and when I arrived at home I ate a big sandwich and spend on hour looking TV.
After that I went bicylcing. I do it every day on hour, excepted when I have rowing training. I always took with me my phone with headphones (to listen to music), scarves and the keys. Then, I went until Castelló and return. Sometimes when I'm maybe arrived at home and I'm not tired I continue by the beach street. But there maybe ever it's windy, and I don't like it.

Later, when it was dinner time, with my family, we premiere our new electric barbecue. But it was windy and cold, so we decided to put the barbecue on the balcony, but we ate normally in the dining room.

Yesterday it was "Barraques de Figueres" too. I went last week there too, but yesterday was the best day. First we went to the attractions, and I get on the biggest: Booster.
Then we went to look the concerts and meet other people. Later in the night we also met Quim, our catalan teacher!

It was the best night because I spend it with one of my best friends; Pablo. During the whole night I was with him, sometimes we met other people, but we return to lose them.
So, we were there, sitting on the street, talking and laughing a lot.

When it was three o'clock in the morning, Andrea's mother comes to pick us up. Cristina, Marta and I went to sleep on Andrea's house. We went sleeping until four o'clock.


Today, I wake up the first, on eight o'clock! And I couldn't return to sleep. So, I wait until it was ten o'clock. Then, the others, also woke up, we ate breakfeast and went to our rowing training.

The training was a chaos because all of our team was in Figueres the night before =)

Trailer

I know I have made yet the option of playing a scene, but I made the trailer before I know that we only have to choose one of this options. Because that, I decided to post it too.

Romeo and Juliet, Scene

This video is a scene from the book Romeo and Juliet, interpreted by Clara and me. We did it yesterday, while we were on the playback. Later, at home we released the video, put music and some lyrics...
We made the scene when Juliet and Romeo talking in the night, and when they decided to get married.

Future books

I like reading a lot. But I like reading normal books, printed, and with pages. I don't like reading on the Internet for a long time because after that I often get headache or my eyes get tired.
Because of that, I think that the future books will be the same like now.
Maybe there will be more Internet and online books too, but I don't think that the traditional books will desapeare.And it's also more comfortable to read a book sitting on the bed, on the balcony, at the beach, in the mountain... And at the other head you always need a computer and maybe Internet and wifi too.I also think that for book writers it's more amazing to see a printed book published and have the possibility to sell it, than see it on the Internet. On this way maybe they didn't win money because, I'm sure that a lot of people want to download or read it online, without pay nothing.

For me, I prefer that everything rest how it's now.

Describing a photo

I like this photo. It's one of my favourite photos from all the pictures that I have token from my dog. I think he ever look great on photos, and he sometimes make really funny faces.

On this one, I was with him on the beach, in front of my house, and after half hour I sit down in the sand and when he looked to another dog I toke quickly the photo. I could take it so quickly because I had the camera in my hands, and was looking some other photos.

On this photo you can see my dog, black and white, looking to the infinity. He was in front of the beach from Empuriabrava, you can see the water and the beach.

Joke

Two goldfish in a bowl talking:
Goldfish 1: Do you believe in God?
Goldfish 2: Of course, I do! Who do you think changes the water?

This one (the goldfishes joke) I explain it on the Sant-Jordi concert. We only said it on the first time because after they said to us that there insn't time for the jokes. But equally, when it was my turn to say the joke, nobody was listening (because nobody understood the jokes... ).

Expectations for Italy!

This Sunday, at 3:30 in the morning our expected holiday beginn.
A lot of people want to doesn't sleep at the night, because at saturday night here in Castelló there are a concert. But I want to rest at home, because I think that's a litlle bit stupid to be all the night woke up if at the next day we have to do a lot of things during the day.

On Friday I have to make my suitcase, I have it already in my room, because my sister return's at Tuesday night from London, and so I have it in my room and inside there are some thing's, like some t-shirts, the hairdryer, my flip-flops for the shower...
But the problem is that my suitcase it's not very big, because it's from my mother, and she never take to much thing with her, but I gonna to put all the necessary there. The most necessary for me are my cloths, make-up, socks and shampoo.

I have waited for this vacation since I'm at the high school, with all my friend, but specially with one of it, my best friend since second ESO.
At first it wasn't sure that he can comes, for his marks but at the end he can come :D


So my expectations for this holidays are a lot: The first is to pass a great time with all my friends, specially with my girls and my best friend.
At second I like to can see all the differents city's, specifically Rome. We are going to see another city's, like Pisa, Siena and Florence.


And at the end, I hope that's wil be a great week, in Italy with all my friends :)

Book vs. Film

1. SETTING: Places Where does the classical play and the new version take place?

At first, the film are shoot in Rio de Janeiro and not in Verona. But equally at the movie they said that's was in Verona.
The first fight in the movie is on a petroil station and there aren't any police's. Instead at the book they fighting on the street and there come's the police to stop them.
The fight were Mercutio died, in the book was on the street, and on the film begin's at the beach from Verona.

There are more differences, but that are the really important :)!

When They Were Young

That's Clara's and my Power Presentation. We where talking about my grandmother :)

My Project: Coca- Cola

This year we must do a Project in groups, about a concrete topic. My group andI, Elvira, Marta and Laura, decided to do about Coca-Cola.
We think that's a good thema because there is a lot of things to tell about it. On our project we write about the history and beginnings from Coca-Cola, the factories, the production, and at most important: the consumption and publicity.


The point of consumption made I and I had a lot of work with it.
At first, we made polls at more than 60 people. We divided it in different groups, from the ages: Primarz, secondary, 16 to 25 years, adults, and more than 50 years old.
The questions were from all the different topics from Coca-Cola, but specially how often the people drink's Coke, when, why, where...

The resultants surprised us. For example, in the question: Do you know that one tin of Coke contains 35 grams sugar, and that this equivalent a seven big tablespoon?
More than the half answered no, especially the young people, from primary and secundary. It's surprised because on every tin there says clearly that it contains this amount of sugar. But I think that nobody thinks that 35 grams are seven tablespoon, and it's difficult to imagine that in every tin are so much sugar.

Another questions, about the publicity, was: Do you like the publicity? Almost all the 60 person's said that they like it, but at the contrary maybe nobody answered that the publicity inflow in their consumption.

That all was a lot of work because we made it nearly in the last moment. Well, we had the polls before, but we didn't have time. So, two days before we must deliver our project, I sit more than three hours in my bed, sourrounded with the polls and passing the results to the computer.
When I had it on the computer, I begun to made the graphics, and after that commented they.
It was a lot of work, but the result was nearly eleven pages about the consumption.


A week ago we have delivered the project, before we had sheet togehter all our work.
Now we have to continue work at the objectives and conclusions, and at the end we have to reuse the project and make an oral presentation. I don't like oral presentation, but with each presentation we made I feel more secure in the next.

My routine

When I have school, every day is the same.
I wake up at 7 o'clock or later, 7:10, because I hate leave my warm bed and go to the bath.
After the bath, I normally sit down in front of the heating, in pyjama, and think about what to wear. When I see that's 7:15 or later I dress me and go breakfast. Then I go to the bath, brush teeth and return to my room to make up me, and brush my hair. Then, quickly I make my bag with the books for the day, and run down to the street.
Now I normally go to school with the car because my sister now has the license and so I can go with her. But when she's upset, she takes the motorcycle, and I must go with the bus. Then I must do all my morning routine more fast because the bus comes at 7:35.When I arrived at school I go to the class. The first class is horrible, I'm always tired and nearly sleeping.
After three eternal large classes is breakfast time, and I pass the half hour with my friends, I eat something, and often I study for exams.
After two other classes, only on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, it's lunch time. This year has got a change, now we only have from 13:25 to 14:35, only one hour! In the other years we had from 14:25 to 16:00. I think that was better because now when we finished lunch, immediataly after we go to class. And on Thursday when we have gym, it's horrible! Often I feel sick after that, specially when it's a hot day.
Well, after lunch, we are in school until 16:30. Until I arrive at home it's 17:00. I eat something and look TV one hour, a german programme called taff.

Than on Tuesdays and Thursdays I go to do private lessons to a little girl, I teach her catalan and help her with his homework.On the other days I read, study or I'm on the computer.
After dinner, I do my homework, and watch TV with my family.
I go to bed normally between 11 and 12 o'clock.


At weekends I sleep until 10:30, Saturdays and then I go to rowing training. After that I'm always going to shower and I'm very hungry.
On Sundays normally I study, meet friends or pass my time on home.

That are my days, my routine. I'm waiting for summer to change it!
SUMMER, come please!!

5 positive and 5 negative experiences

- I have learnt snowboard, and enjoy it a lot. I begun in 2 ESO in a excursion with the school, we were in the mountains three days. Last year I went with my friends to Andorra, and other snow-parks and practises more. This year I alreaday not went to do snowboard, because I don't have time and money :P

-My parents bought me a dog. Spike, is a great dog I love him, I like to go with him on the beach and I can laugh a lot with him faces and locks.

Negative experiences:

- I have lost friends, in Germany, but here as well.

- I'm waiting since three years to have enough money to do Kitesurf. It's my biggest dream to do kitesurf. I spend a lot of hours on the beach watching at them, and I will do it too. But it's very expensive, only a course from four days cost nearly 500 € and after that I need to buy the material too. But this autumn I can make my dream true.
I want to work all the summer, and then in September I begin it.

- I lost two cameras, three handbags and one bikini. I'm very chaotic, and scatterbrained, I ofter forget things.

- I don't see often my family. Specially there in Germany, I only go there in the summer or once a time in other holidays. I also have family in New York, a lot of aunts and uncles, and more than 15 cousins that I have never saw. I have decided to go to visit them when I have enought money.

- I have trust in the wrong person's, and therefore I pass it wrong often. But now I have learn to ignore these person's, accept that some people change with the time, and that other simply are stupid.

My clothes

On of my passions is go shopping. I love to go to Figueres, Girona or Barcelona and spent hours and hours there, in the shops.
Every time I went shopping, I buy something, nearly never I go out from a shop without a bag with clothes :)
I love to be in the shops, look at all, compare prices, find t-shirts, trousers, jackets, shoes… everything! The smell there is there, I like too, because in every shop is different, singular.
A strangething is that when I'm shopping I'm never tired, I can walk a lot, but If i had to walk other days only ten minuts with my family "I'm tired" immediataly.
But when I arrived at home I notice that my foots hurts...


My mother every time is a little bit upset because she say that I have a lot of clothes, and that I don’t need more. But If I pay myself the clothes, she said that I can buy what I like.
I like a lot dresses. No little girl's dresses, no, I like dresses to go out, at the weekends or on partys. It can be possible that I buy one dress and don't wear it before a year... My mother think's it's stupid to buy dresses if you don't have a reason and a place to wear it.

Here on the side is a photo from my wardrobe, every time it’s very caotic, but I have my own system and I find always all: Or it’s in the wardrobe, or on the chair or on the washer :P

I love clothes, shopping and spend money :)
