Molly!

Hi! Yup this is, finally the last entry on this blog and I’m glad to say that I’m very happy because of it. As today is my last writing, I would like to dedicate it to someone and this time it not a person… This is dedicated to my dog called Molly!

Soon she will be 9 years old and she is a Catalan sheep dog also know here as a “gos d’atura”. She’s got the blood of a pure Catalan so if you want a Catalan dog get this one.
These dogs are very active because at day time they are in charge of keeping all the sheep together and they have to run a lot but I’m afraid that my Molly is very lazy know because she has never worked she has just relaxed and now like she’s older she sleeps all day and she just gets up if she wants you to stroke her or give her food!

Her hair is quite long and the colour of it is brown, black, blond, red… well, a lot of colours!

To be honest I don’t know how she has lasted so long because when she was young she was a very crazy dog. I’m going to tell you the things she has done and still survived!

- We left her outside a balcony on the third floor at a friend’s house and when we looked out again she wasn’t there because she jumped down like ten meters, she survived that with only a cut on her leg.
- I used to have a terrapin until Molly ate it, she got very sick and she had red marks on her stomach.
- When we first got her, we took her to a river and she went in… What happened? There was a whirlpool on that river, because this river went just under the road to the other side. Molly got sucked in by the whirlpool, went under water and came out flying on the other side of the road.
- They also run over her ear. Now how can they run over your ear?
- Once a car was coming and I was on the other side of the street, so she came to me when the car was coming. She tried to jump over the car but she crashed into the back of the car…
- We used to have her tied because she used to have planning escapes and she used to jump across our wall that is 2 meters high. So we tide her up… She jumped anyway across but the rope didn’t reach all the way so she was left dangling over the fence… Our neighbour heard her suffocating her self and she was in time to save her…

Honestly I don’t understand how she is still alive after all that…
Luckily she doesn’t do much now…


That’s my dog! And everyone that meets her loves her!

Here are some pictures of her now and when she was small...

Weekend in La Cellera!

Hi there! Today I’m going to talk to you about my weekend that I had with Clara at la Cellera.
We left Saturday at 8 o’clock because Clara had been working all day in Figueres and I had a handball match that at the last minute it was cancelled. Clara’s big sister, Cristina, came and picked me up first and after that we went to get Clara in Figueres where she works.

We drove just over an hour just to get there and once we where there we left our bags in Clara’s cousin’s apartment where we later stayed over to sleep.
Over there we got changed and prepared our self’s for a concert there was there (that is the main reason why we went there) and the bands playing were Gossos, Las Pegatines and another band… Anyways all Catalan bands…. Not really my style and I really didn’t know how to dance to it… Well know did really!
But it was good because I actually has good fun (don’t tell Clara) and I met a lot of new people! One of them actually loved the music I like so… We became very good friends!

We stayed up until 4 o’clock and we decided to go back because at the end Clara and I were sitting and falling asleep at the concert. I don’t know how really because the music was so loud.
As soon we got to the apartment we went straight to bed and the second I put my head on the pillow I fell asleep until 1 o’clock Sunday morning, actually mid day!

There were some attractions there because of the “firas” so we went on some and had a laugh!

Resuming everything I did have a lot of fun but it’s a shame about the bad weather there has been this weekend!
But never mind you can’t have it all!

My night out in Barcelona!

Today, I’m going to talk about the night out I had in Barcelona with a group of friends. This was at the weekend before going back to school after a short week off Easter. We all took the train form Figueres to get there and we were staying at a friend’s house, well actually an apartment. The problem was that in total we were 9 people without counting him or his parents. I have to say we were all quite crowded in there but we didn’t care it was only for a day.
When we got to Barcelona we went to some shops just to see what there was. We tried to enter a sex shop but we had to show our ID and we knew that we wouldn’t be able to go in there because the majority of us were not 18 yet!

Well it doesn’t matter because it soon got dark and our friend invited all of us at his Thai restaurant for free! I think that I had never eaten so much in my life!

After the restaurant we were preparing to go out to a Disco. I have to say that we failed to get in the first Disco because I have to say that one of us wasn’t properly dressed so they kicked us out!
Then after a while we tried to get in again (this person now has good clothes) but this time with a group of other people that we met there, they were a group of like 40 people and they were from Canada.
Anyway, after all of that queue we were about to get in again when my friend started to drink out of a bottle of alcohol that the Canadians gave him, the problem was that he drunk in front of the guard and as you can imagine they didn’t want to let us in again!

So we ended up finally in another disco and we had fun there and it was also a free entry and happy hour!

So in the end we had fun but we had to walk a lot. When we got back to the apartment I managed to get a place on the sofa. I was lucky, many slept on the floor!

Memories...

Hi there, before I write anything I would like to say that I’m starting to run out of ideas!

So, I’ve decided to talk about Sweden. I would like to talk about Sweden because every time I go there I really feel like I’m at home…

I’m going to tell you a bit how I ended up here; well actually I was born here so I’m actually going tell you how my mum ended up here!
Well my mum first left Sweden when she was 18 years old. She left because she wanted to explore other places and she ended up in the Canary Islands. She liked it a lot over there at first but then she started to miss home because she was fed up of being on the beaches. Anyway, she had been there already for 1 year and when she returned to Sweden she found out that her younger brother Pare actually sold all her stuff and also kept all the money because he thought she was never coming back to Sweden.

So, my mum a bit cross, went off again to Canary Islands and there she met a friend that lived in Roses, and her friend asked her if she wanted to have some holidays there. So, my mother a month later went off again but this time for sure.
When she arrived in Roses she liked all about Roses and the villages around it and after all that she ventured off and found Ampuriabrava and there she bought her first house and it’s still the same one! It now has been 25 years since she last bought it and from there she’s raised a family of her own!

I was born in the Hospital of Figueres but since I have been small I have had a lot of Swedish influence. We used to go quite a lot to Sweden and most of my memories lie there. A large part of my family lives in Sweden and I don’t really get to see them that much. I remember that my mum used to talk to me in Swedish before and I used to talk it to but over the years I’m afraid that I have lost it, I still understand it do.

What I love about Sweden is its huge lands of forests and its small lakes. I even miss sometimes that distinctive smell that Sweden has. It’s a very fresh country and everything is there.
In winter it’s cold and there’s a lot of snow and I remember when I was small I used to go with my family to the half frozen lakes and feed all they ducks there…

I have a lot of memories of Sweden, and it’s one of my favourite places ever. But I do have to say that I have plenty of good memories here to!

Back from London!

Hi there! I’m back from UK and at the moment I’m so very tired! I don’t know where to start really because we have done many things these past days, but it was great to have the chance and the opportunity to go to such a fabulous place like London!
It was really worth it!

We went to England Friday the 3rd by plane; it was a very quick and easy journey I have to say. When we got there my Uncle Paul went to get us at the airport in Stansted and took us to his home where we also saw my Auntie Jan that was waiting there for us.
As soon as we got there me and Clara unpacked our bags and got ready to go to a very good Indian restaurant called Little India. It was very nice food indeed!

Saturday was our first day in England and we took advantage to go to London, we had to the train a lot and many taxis also. The first things we visited in London were the towers of London. We had a huge walk around and in the towers and we were amazed because of the complexity and hugeness of it. What most amazed us were the Queen crown jewels. There were so many diamonds and gold that I couldn’t believe it! I was amazed of the quantity of all the jewels; there was probably millions and millions and more millions of pounds worth of gold and diamonds! It was incredible!
After that experience we went to the Science Museum where we saw a lot of interesting items. There were various sections in the Museum; the first section was about all the old technology. At the same floor there was a space gallery where the showed you all the different objects that you can use in space!
On the second floor it was about who you were. It was about genetics. Where you were from, how you got to be this way and how did your ancestors evolve.
The third floor was in development so we won’t able to go in, and the last one was about our Future and that floor didn’t really have anything interesting!
So the museum at first it was quite good, but it kind of disappointed us on the last two floors, lucky it was free!

On Sunday we took a break from London and we went instead to Cambridge where as you know all the Top Universities are there. We went in some of them and we noticed that the Universities there were very nice but they were also 800 years old! The buildings were huge and the work in them was fabulous! Not like our school that looks like… No comments!
We also went on a pung a specials boat only seen there and from the river we were able to see all of the colleges and we learnt a little bit of their history too!

On Monday we went again to London and the first thing we went to see there was the change of the guards. We went out of there quite disappointed because there were thousands of people and we weren’t able to see a lot. We took as many photos as we could do! Later on we went walking by the Houses of Parliament where there was a demonstration about the tigers being killed in India, so the place was full of thousands of Indian people… What I can’t understand is that I don’t know why they’re complaining in London when the problem is in India. Shouldn’t they be doing a demonstration over there? What is the government of England going to do? It absolutely pointless!
Well, after that we went past London Bridge by foot and from there I and Clara got tickets to go on the London Eye. Once we were up there we could see the whole of London, it was brilliant! London at that moment was so busy; it was very hard to just walk normal in your own time. Everyone kept stopping, pushing and crossing… It was quite stressful.
After all that we went to an even busier place, Oxford Street! We went there for a while to see how this famous street was like! We all got a bit stressed so we went in an Italian restaurant where we ate some very nice pizzas!
But I have to say that we left the last thing for the best! We went to the “I will rock you” musical from Queen, and I have to say that it was absolutely amazing, incredible. I really enjoyed it and I think that Clara agrees with me on this one! I came out of there with a huge smile on my face. I would go there again if I had the chance! I really recommend it…

On Tuesday, our last whole day there, we had a nice lay in all morning and afterwards we went to a shopping centre in Braintree called Freeport. I bought something but Clara came out of there disappointed because she never found the jeans she wanted!

And on Wednesday, it was already time to go back to Spain…

These holidays have gone very quick but that means that I have really enjoyed it then!
Oh yeah nearly forgot to say that everyday that we had been in London the weather there was hot and sunny! Incredible!

Here are some photos!

Today's technology!

Hi there, today I’m going to start of with a subject that has become one of the most improved things, human technology!

I’m going to talk about my opinion on this matter, some good things but also some bad things, if you have been reading my texts I think that you know that I tend to see more bad things about something than good ones. So, here we go!

As we know, generation after generation we depend more and more on our technology. Thanks to our technology we are able to improve our life style and therefore improve the quality of life of each person and so on. We started of with huge machines that no could afford and now we have reduced the size of them that we are able to put them in our pockets, for example, I remember when I was just a kid I had a CD player and at that time that was the smallest thing around and it couldn’t even fit in my pocket! But look at me now; I’ve got an iPod that’s 20 times smaller than a CD player and that can play more than 500 songs! Isn’t that great!

Also, in today’s world are technology is trying to stop the Global Warming on our planet and I find that very good and interesting.

One the one hand, how much of this technology do we really need? I think that we mistake need with fun, we always take it one step beyond. Sure it’s nice to have all this new technology but we don’t really need it because the more we depend on technology the further away we’re from reality.
I find that there’s a lot of unnecessary technology being built or done that are just a waste of money, time and most importantly our planets resources.

Contamination!

In this entrance I’m going to talk about probably one of the most talk subjects in the world of today, and that it’s affecting the whole of our planet, contamination!

As we know, we’re close of loosing one of the most cherished things for humans, where our life actually began millions of years ago and for many other species also…
We are contaminating our planet rapidly and have done for hundreds of years. But are we doing anything about it? People say we are, but I don’t really see de difference at all even if we are.
It is true that we have made a lot of changes for the good of the planet and all living creatures, but is it enough?
We throw out rubbish in big ground holes where they rot, our sewers end up in our rivers and seas polluting them more and more, we cut down forests for wood and kill all the animals that depend on it, our carbonated emissions are making a big hole and so then the temperature of the earth gets hotter and therefore there’s melting ice on the poles…
I could go on forever but the list is endless, we are going to finish humanity, all the other species and most importantly our planet.
The problem is that we contaminate more than we look after earth, so whatever we do it’ll be unstoppable, earth now has a limited time and as years go by less years are left to enjoy…

I think to myself, why are we doing this? We are just hurting our self. Do you want your Grandchildren to have a normal life? Are we really that greedy? It looks like that we only think about our self.

I hope this problem has a solution, but to be completely honest I think we’re doomed, and the sad thing is, millions of species will pay for this and they have never done anything to deserve this!

The strengh of music!

Hi, this is my first entrance of this month and I would love to start it off talking about the different feelings that different songs can give you and make you feel ant the various people you can share those feelings with.
First of all, we all know that everyone likes their own kind of music, someone can listen to rap, rock, punk, jazz, pop, metal and so many other types of music, the list never ends. One thing in common with all this kind of music is that they can make us feel one way or another. The song could give you anger, happiness, sadness, hope, energy, laughter… I really do think that in today’s world, well, for a long time, music has been a very powerful thing it can change our moods drastically. Humans and music will always live together, that’s how powerful music is. What would we do without music? I think that music is very necessary for us humans, music is like the air we need to breath, we cannot live without it and that’s final.

I think that it’s amazing what the simple words on a song can make you feel, it’s an addiction. I’ve always got a song in my head, it can be sad or happy but I’m always singing one. If you ask everyone, they’ve all got their personal song, maybe that song doesn’t mean anything for you but for the other person it means a lot.

When I’m mad I listen to angry music and it helps me to relax and think, when I’m sad I listen to very emotional music, when I’m happy I listen to energy and very cheerful songs…

Have you ever realized that a simple song in a sad movie can make you go very emotional? Have you ever thought about it? About time you do!

Carnaval!

So yeah, finally this is my last entrance and I’m happy to say that I’m very pleased for it to be. I can’t take it any more because it’s a lot of work!

Today at last I’m going to talk about last Friday at Roses Carnaval. First of all, we arrived there at 12 o’clock because previously we had been training at handball.
Once we arrived there, we had the chance to see the Carnaval spectacle but not for long because it was already late and they were finishing.
But it didn’t matter because after the whole spectacle there was a concert where everyone went to alter on. So we were on time for that.
This year all of my College friends organized to go dressed as tennis players, but I and my fellow best friends decided to go as mafias, with a very nice suit and a shirt under it.
I think that when everyone saw us they were quite amazed with are suit because we had planned or costume very well and the tennis players costume… What can I say?
It wasn’t very special, it just looked like they had organized I to late and that it didn’t go to well…

Well apart of the suit we all had guns and golden chains on us, we also had a cigar ans sun glasses to make us look bad! Clara also joined us but she was a kind of something.
She got a mix of everything and just put it all together, she was some kind of Dracula- devil thing…

We got home at 6 o’clock that night and Clara had to wake up that morning to go to work at 8 o’clock… I stayed in my nice day all day!

Differences of Frankenstein!

These are the differences between the film and the book that we read at home for are English class:
First of all at the beginning of the film Victor is walking and the monster is right behind him and in the book Victor and the monster are on sledges. Then the monster kills the dogs that try to attack him.
Victors mum does not die of an illness, she dies during she’s giving birth to the new baby. That’s when Victor saw the power of electricity. Victor receives a diary form his mother before going to the University and he meets his new best friend Henry there.
At the University Victors professor gets stabbed in the stomach by a patient and in the book the professor actually never dies. There is a lot of diseases in the city and a lot of deaths because of it.
He uses electricity for experiment like in the book but in the film we can see more complex inventions to make live his creation, he doesn’t revive the monster straight from the lightning in the sky. Elizabeth travels days to go and visit Victor because she’s worried about him, she complains that she hasn’t’ received a letter from him for a long time.
When Victor manages to revive the monster he tries to help him get up he doesn’t run away like in the book. Soon the monster gets hit with a piece of metal and Victor leaves him hanging there. Then in the morning is when he actually runs away from the monster.
In the film the monster manages to help him self and he goes to the market and he’s attacked by the habitants of the town. The monster helps a poor family that live in a small house and he also beats up the owner of the house. The monster is thought to be the spirit of the good. He gets attacked by the poor family and he decides to burn the house. The monster manages to play the flute and that’s when he sees William and he kills him like in the book.
The monster gets Justine’s body for his future wife. He doesn’t kill Elizabeth struggling her he rips her heart out and later on throwing her on the floor with the fire.
Victor wants to revive her and he gets Justine’s body and Elizabeth’s head and puts it together, finally he manages to revive her. Victor and the monster fight for Elizabeth and in the end she can’t stand them and she kills her self burning alive.
At the end, we can see that the monster cries over the body of Victor once dead, later on they prepare a funeral for Victor and suddenly the ice starts to break.
The monster manages to swim across onto the block of ice where Victor is laid on, the monster burns with him.

Summer in Madrid!

A week before going back to school I went with my best friends to Madrid for a whole week. Before I start I just want to say that it’s an experience I will never forget.
It first started when one of my best friends Bernardo Santos called me and told me and the others if I we wanted to go to Madrid. With out thinking we all said yes and off we went to Madrid.
Mainly I’m going to talk about are funniest moments getting there and once there!

We almost missed the train from Figueres to Barcelona. We almost missed it because we tried to get in the train without paying and we saw that the guard on the train was checking if everyone had the tickets, so we had to quickly get some in the train station and we only had 5 minutes to get back on the train so we run for it like we had never done!

Once in Barcelona we stayed there over the night, thanks to Alex Souvandy’s house there that he lived in there, he was also coming with us in Barcelona. At night time we went out to a lot of discotheques and we managed to drink for free all night in all the discos. We got free drinks because my other best friend Jordi Galí promised that if he gave a ticket for a free drink we would stay there and pay for more to drinks, but we never did! And we did that on all of them…

In Madrid at McDonalds we ordered 40 hamburgers, every hamburger only cost 1 euro. People couldn’t believe what we had said!

I and Jordi got lost more than a hundred times in the streets of Madrid and Barcelona…
We did so many things that I could write a book about it but I think I’ll stop here, I had a great time!

Slipknot & Metallica Festival in Bacelona!

So today I’m going to talk about some exciting piece of news, well specially for me, Slipknot one of my favorite bands is finally coming to Barcelona together with Metallica, a legend trash metal band and very well known. I’ve been listening to Slipknot since the last 4 years and I am overwhelmed that there are coming. This will be the first proper concert I go to and it’s also going to be one of the heaviest concerts ever done in Barcelona. It’s a festival so many other not as well known bands will go there also.
Slipknot is a nu metal band, that means that they mix rock rap and screaming on they’re songs. Guitars tend to have a very heavy sound and there’s always a DJ in a nu metal band. There are a lot of well known bands that are also nu metal for example; Linkin Park, Mudvayne, Deftones; Korn…
Sadly nu metal originated in America in the 90’s is slowly coming to an end. Nu metal bands tend to disappear or evolve to a different music style.
Slipknot is currently one of the only nu metal bands left, but lately they have been very influenced by Metallica and their new album is more trash metal than nu metal.
We can also say that Metallica is also changing; their new album is more influenced by nu metal…

Well this is a small introduction so you know a little bit more about my groups! I can’t wait for the summer! It’s going to be awesome!

By the way, tickets cost 70 euros and the festival is on the 11th of July if you want to go!

ROCK ON!!!!

Someone Special...

I’m going to talk about someone that has become very special in my life simply because that person really does care about me and she would do anything in the world to make me happy and make me smile.
She looks after me when I’m ill and she makes me laugh when I’m sad and feel lonely. I truly appreciate what she does for me and I have never met someone like her.
We have had a lot of moments together, a lot of great moments and a few bad but good or bad I wouldn’t change this experience for the world because this is what truly makes me the happiest man in the hole of the universe…

She’s got the greatest personality. She’s funny, happy and extroverted; she makes me feel very good and also people that surround her. Because of this I always think of her of a great, loving and giving person.

We can say that I feel very lucky to have had the chance to meet her and later on become a part of her life.

Who do you think it is?

New Year 2009!

Happy new year to everyone! Hopefully a better year for the economy of everywhere because as we know this year has been horrible, everywhere is in crisis.

Anyway, I’m going to explain a bit about what I did on the 31st of December.
At day time I didn’t do a lot, I took advantage of the day to do my homework because I haven’t really have had a lot of time to do them. I have had a lot a family here from England and a lot of parties because of them.
So, that day I promised myself to stay all day in and do all the work possible. At 8 o’clock I went to Clara’s because that’s where I was having my diner.
I think It was well organized, because I had to bring crisps and pudding, Ari had to make the first plate (she had to do a special plate for me because I didn’t like what she was doing for the others, Clara made us Canelones And Ari’s boyfriend brought us the drinks, he brought us Coca-Cola, Fanta and Champaign.

When we finished eating we started to play games. We played UNO and we also played mimic and who ever didn’t guess it, she or he had to do what ever the others told him o her what to do. Just to make it a bit funnier and to remember it, we filmed it, I wish we hadn’t!

We waited until 12 o’clock. Then, we put on the TV and ate the twelve grapes we had to eat. I made it harder for everyone because I couldn’t stop laughing and I made everyone else laugh too, we also filmed when we where eating them.
After all that, I and Didac finished the whole bottle of Champaign, oh yeah!

It was 1 o’clock and we went to sant Pere, we had a great time there, everyone was dancing a lot. It was a great night-morning.
We arrived home at 6.30 in the morning, me and Clara slept all day.

Clara had a headache, I wonder why…

2009!

New experience

During these holidays, I have done a lot of things, and one of these things has been driving in a car, first time ever!
It all started when I told my dad if he could let me drive around, so he said; yeah why not? So he took me to a dirt road where the was no cars, perfect to learn some driving. I have to say I had no idea how to drive, so just getting in the car I nearly crashed twice!
My dad was so scared because I wasn’t going slowly, I had already started of quickly and he started saying to me to go slower, so I did, it was boring!
Anyway, he taught me how to change gear, to put de clutch down when I’m stopping, to never take my hands of the steering wheel, how to reverse and not kill anyone while I’m doing it!

It took me time to actually get used to it, everything is just so delicate, I thought I just had to put the foot down hard and that it would just go with no problem, anyway that was a good experience for me and my dad thought that he was going to die in that car…

I wasn’t really that bad, I was quite good, he just likes to make a big deal out of everything!
I want to ask him if he wants to drive with me again… I don’t think he really wants to now!

Results

Yeah, it’s the end of the trimester and I have failed three subjects; maths, chemistry and philosophy!
Yeah, I know that’s doesn’t look like very good results, but I’m pretty happy with my results, I know I shouldn’t but I am. That just means that this trimester I’ve got to work a bit harder on the subjects that I've ve failed. I think that maths and chemistry I will be able to pass them, but I’m a bit lost with philosophy, no matter what, that’s a subject I think that I will fail all year round but I’ll try to pass it too…

The reason of me being happy about my results is because of many things. First, I come from a class that the level of studying and working is lower than the other classes, and all of my classmates from last year aren’t doing that good, they have failed six, seven or more subjects. So that means that I'm actually doing quite well, because I’ve only failed three.
I’m also happy of my results because I know that I have worked very hard to have those results and know one is going to tell me what they think because I don’t really care, I know that I’ve worked so much for it, my dream would be to be able to pass College to do something in the future that I want to do, hopefully I will be able to do it.
Anyway I have got a lot of support from people that love me, like my family, friends and my girlfriend!

So I wish myself some good luck for this year!

My life

Sometimes life can be very complicated, even more at are age. I think that this is one of the most important times of our lives.
This stage of our life I think that I does really mark what we will be in a future, it all depends of your studies and that people that surround you.

At the moment, I’m studying in College and that is one of the hardest things I think that I have ever had to do, especially because I’m actually from a lower level of class, but teachers seem to be pleased.
Then it’s hard to combine spending time with your friends and then also with your girlfriend if you have one, luckily for me I can go out with my friends and my girlfriend at the same time!
Apart form all of this I do handball just to keep me fit and have time to think about stuff that’s going on in my head.
And now I’ll have to start to practice for my driving license and luckily soon I’ll have it.

All of this brings me a bit of stress, but if I’m lucky I will keep on going as the way it is, anyway everybody needs a bit of stress because otherwise we wouldn’t do anything, so I think that all of this is good even isf at the moment it doesn’t look like it!

Presents!

Lately as the years go by, my list of presents keep on getting smaller and smaller, this year I didn’t even want anything because I don’t feel the need of them.
I’ve realized that I have already got everything I really need and that I am already happy with the things I have got.
Years ago I used to have a huge list of presents; I used to want everything I used to see on TV or see at shops.
I think it happens to everybody, as we gradually get older the less presents they want but maybe that only one present counts as five presents because it’s a lot more expensive that the others. It’s bigger in a sense of the price.
So when your just a child I think that you want a lot of presents but their price aren’t that important but as we get older we want less presents, but what we want is a lot more expensive.
This year I said that I didn’t want anything but I did get something, only a couple of presents but they where very nice indeed, presents that you know that this people have looked really hard for it and thought about it a lot and that they haven’t just bought it in five minutes.

Pastic or Natural?

Instead of asking mom and dad for a new car, young women are asking their parents for breast implants or a nose job. It has taken over television and is rapidly disturbing our society. If you Type the words plastic surgery you’ll celebrities who have had plastic surgery and it went bad. The site contains pictures of many big celebrities who have had cosmetic operations. Young people around the nation are modelling themselves after these celebrities. They think it is no longer attractive to have a flat chest or a little bit of fat on their stomach.

People need to learn they should be happy as their self. Everyone is born a certain way for a reason. There is no need to ever model yourself after a Hollywood star because you think that will make you more attractive. In my opinion, that is much less attractive.Some people get plastic surgery for other reasons. Reconstructive plastic surgery is needed for some individuals to correct problems. This kind of surgery is completely different than a breast augmentation or tummy tuck.

I think people need to learn to accept their body. You need not model yourself after a famous movie star or model. Be happy with what you have, instead of stressing over what you do not have. All of the shows on television right now are doing nothing but encouraging this behaviour in the young people out there watching.

Top 5 holidays!

1- My best place ever will always be Sweden, simply because that’s where I really feel at home, my heart belongs there. I know I was born in Spain and that a lot of people consider me English, but inside I’m Swedish. I love everything about that country, in the summer it is nice and warm and there’s so many lakes and little islands you can go to everyday, I really like the woods in Sweden there are just so green and you can find so many animals and you can eat many kind of fruits that are common there.
In winter it is cold, but it’s perfect because there’s snow an the schools there are much better there’s shorter hours of class and you’ve got all day, and they don’t have to do so many subjects as we do.
I also love going there because I get to see all me family and cousins that I don’t see the hole year or sometimes a couple of years.

2- Second best holiday, was in Dominican Republic, I consider this my second best because it was a new experience I had actually never been to the Caribbean, and it was always my dream to go to those lovely white fins sand beaches and those incredible coral riffs with all kinds of interesting and colorful fish, I even got the chance to swim with my favorite animal, the shark.
It’s really a place to relax and just enjoy the sun but there’s also a multitude of activities that are available there, so it’s a lot of fun.
What really amazed me there was the view, so different from here, it’s so rich on nature and the people are so different.

3- Italy has reached third, because of all the unforgettable memories of all my friends, what I really loved of it all was just being in contact with everyone, just having the time of our life’s, I had never been on holiday with friends so to go with so many of them really amazed me.
There I got interested in the language; I think that their way of speaking is so passionate. I realized that I liked Italian people; they seem very positive and friendly people.
I think that Venice was one of the most interesting places there was, just because it’s different and I like all that work and art there.

4- Florida, I went there in 2001 with my family and there I visited Disney Land, and for me at that moment, like I was just a kid it was great and just different holiday. I had to get used to the people there, they are very different, their life and their way of eating.
When I was there I ate crocodile, I wouldn’t really want to go back because I think there’s many better places for people my age now, but for kids it’s great.

5- Mexico, I went there last year, and it was great, but it’s a lot like my other holiday in the Republic, so I wasn’t that excited but I t was good anyway, There was one problem, the beaches there where gone because a huge hurricane went past and took everything in it’s way, that’s the only bad thing, but apart from that I really enjoyed it.

Where am I going this year?
- Well, my family is going without me next week to the Republic again with some friends. I’m not going this year because I need to be in college because it needs a lot of dedication and it’s really hard, and I’m not going to miss 2 weeks of college…

-But, on the other hand, in Easter I’m going to London with Clara for a few days and with no parents, and we will stay at my uncle’s house, so we’ve got a place to sleep and eat for free. It will be very exciting I think, maybe it will be my number 1 holiday!

Marine Biologist?

Since I was really small I have always been fascinated with marine life. I think life under water is much more interesting than continental animals. Sea life is so amazing, there’s so many species of different shapes and fascinating colours, and they’re also so unique, they’ve all got different ways for surviving.

At my house I have always had aquatic animals, because I find them so interesting and I’ve bought a lot of books about them. In my bedroom I’ve got tropical fish a terrapin and out in the garden I’ve got fresh water fish. I’d also have marine fish but they’re very hard to look after and I don’t have the time I’m afraid, but I hope that someday I’ll have all the marine animals I want.

When I was just 14 years old I started to study diving so then I could have the license to go under water with a air tank, going under about 20 meters, I had a Junior license then, so I couldn’t go deeper but now I’ve got an adult license.

If I had to say one of my favorite marine animals, it be the shark, I know you are thinking I’m mad, but that’s the truth. Sharks don’t attack people just for the fun of it. There are more human deaths with rhinos and polar bears than there's with sharks.
I think people are afraid of sharks because they don’t like the look of them. I think the movie Jaws didn’t help a lot in liking them neither. And i have swum with sharks.

So I’m studying Batxillerat to be one day a Marine Biologist, that’s what I hope, because that’s what I really like.

Handball!

Hiya!

Today I’m going to talk about a sport I’ve doing for like the past 7 years, Handball. I play in Castelló d’Empúries where I’m in a team that’s called CH Esplais.
I train twice a week and every Saturday I play a match. Handball is an indoor sport; it’s great because you can play it in the winter and in the summer with no problems. At every match there are two teams, and every team has 7 players, the goal keeper, one pivot, one central, two laterals and two extrems, the match lasts 60min and there is a break every 30 minutes, so there is two parts in the whole game.
When I first started I used to be a goal keeper but they changed me to an extrem because they realized that my throwing was good, and extrems need to have great throwing because it’s the hardest place to score, and when I’m defending I’m the pivot because they have to be strong in defense. Just this year they making me lateral, so I’ll play nearly at all the positions. The bigger teams in my club have asked me if I want to play with them, but I don’t know yet.

I love handball because I get to see a lot of friends and we have fun, also I takes my mind of the stress of studying and it also makes me fit.

We have promised that if we’re first in the league we will paint our hair green, really don’t want to!

That's me last year!

My opinion about drugs

First of all, why am I choosing this subject? I guess that’s because I hate everything about them.
Teenagers are usually the victims of drugs; we get very bad influenced because of it. It’s always the same, you’re old enough to go out and about so as soon as we’re old enough we all go to a party or something and then that’s when the problem starts really.
At first you’re at the party just enjoying it, without alcohol or drugs, but of course as time goes by people seem to have a bigger interest for bad things. Normally you start to get interested because your friends are doing it so, you do it too because you just think it’s cool, you don’t want to be left out of the group and you just seem to have the best time ever at the time you’re really enjoying it.
People normally start smoking and drinking at parties, at the time it doesn’t seem to be a bad idea, it’s really just having fun, but after that, after smoking at every party you have been to, you seem to be hooked and instead of smoking at parties, you start smoking during the week and after that it controls your life, the only thing you think about is; I can’t wait to get my cigarette out!

When it controls you, you want to go beyond the cigarette and you want a stronger drug like Joints (marihuana). That does cross the line, alcohol and cigarettes are legal, even if I’m against them they are legal, but joints are illegal and other drugs like ecstasy that are so and so bad for you. I think that these drugs really do destroy peoples life, and why? Why be addicted to something that destroys your life?

Everyone that started smoking and can’t leave it, really regret ever starting it, so do like me, just don’t ever start taking drugs that way you won’t ever have to stop taking them. I know a lot of friends that started and after year, when they’re really addicted the don’t want it anymore, but it’s to late, people seem to be very weak against these drugs, they always say the same; I promise you that from today on, I will stop smoking and taking drugs. A week passed and you see them over there taking it again. My question is; Why not continue on the progress you have done? Why start all over again?
Anyway it’s a cycle when you’re smoking and your hooked you want to stop, and then when you stop you want to start because you miss it. No offence but I think all this is pathetic.

I know so many people that are so addicted to it, it’s really a shame because I think that some of them are more intelligent than that, but at least I was clever enough to never start this so I have no problems unlike others.
I’ve tried to help many friends for them to stop, but you can’t make them stop if they don’t want to, you can only really help them if they want to also, otherwise it’s a waste of time. But I kind of understand people that do have problems, that they’re sad because of something that has happened in their life and they use drugs to feel better, I still think that that’s a wrong decision there’s many other ways too.

So…
- You can drink a couple of beers or something with alcohol but, but just a couple.
- If you smoke, try for your own sake to stop smoking and please don’t smoke other stuff.
- And finally, never take ecstasy if you don’t want to end up in a rehabilitation room.

So think about the consequences…

Will I visit Linkin Park?

Linkin Park has been one of my favourite bands of all time, probably one of the first proper rock bands. I guess I’ve been listening to it since I was 12 years old and is still love it, so you can imagine how much I like them, their style Nu-metal is unique, I love everything about them the heavy sound guitar the cross of rap-rock scream singing and so many other things.


But I do have to say, that I don’t really like the new album they released it a while ago now, in the summer of 2006, because they have evolved their not the same as they used to be, now they’re more commercial their music isn’t as heavy and there’s not a lot of rapping, so they’ve changed quite a lot, but I’m a big fan and I do like them still.

So, I’ve been waiting for them to come here in Barcelona about 4 years, and I’m so fed up waiting for them, they seem to go everywhere except here they even went to Israel, these are times that I really hate this place because none of my favourite bands ever come here, it’s like they didn’t know Barcelona existed, well that’s Americans for you I don’t think they know that a lot of people do listen to their music here so they just don’t come…

I’ve decided to go to Great Britain (UK) this summer at a rock festival called Donnington Park Festival for three days to see them and other good bands as well, like Slipknot if I’m lucky!
I’m so fortunate to have family there so then I can have a free place to stay instead of getting a hotel! I will invite friends over who ever wants to come and see them, I think it’ll be great, and that’s what I hope!
Oh yeah! Nearly forgot to say that I’ll take the airplane Ryanair to get there, it’s the easiest and the cheapest way to go there so that will be my method of transport.

Now I’ll put a video of one of Linkin Park’s famous songs, don’t worry it’s not heavy, it’s just nice and one of my favourite of all time!

Enjoy!

My hobby in the winter!

Snowboarding!

This is my sport hobby in the winter, I love it. A lot of people don’t see why I like it so much; they don’t really see the point of going up and down a freezing slope.

It all started when I was just five years old, my family and I always used to go to Baqueira-Barret, when I was smaller I just went down the sledge like all little kids do, but as I got older I wanted to go beyond my sledge and ski.

So every year I went to Baquiera-Barret, Font Romeu, la Molina or to la Masella, and while I was there I had skiing lessons to improve my skiing skills.
I even did some skiing competitions, but soon found out that I didn’t really want to compete I just wanted to ski for the fun of it.
My dad used to take to France in Les Angles for a whole two weeks or so, I learned a lot there, I could go down the black slopes like if it was only a blue one, just used to go straight down, no problem.
I didn’t crush that much, but when I did let’s say that I was lucky that I wore a helmet, because I used to crash real hard sometimes, I’d go down half a mountain rolling in the snow not being able to stop and loosing my skis.

When I was twelve I decided to change my skis for a snowboard, now that was challenging! It’s completely the way round skiing.
At first I was really struggling with snowboarding, I kept falling and falling, I felt like just giving up, but I didn’t and soon got the hang of it, and then I really stared to like it, since then I have been progressing, and I’m a lot better, I think I might be better than skiing.

For the past five years I’ve been going to Andorra, but with this weather, sun, sun and more sun, I don’t think I’m going to, the weather’s to hot and there’s no snow, and I need the soft snow because I know I’m going to fall!

I feel free when I'm snowboarding...


Recommendation: Never ever give up on something you really want to do, because in the end you will make it, if you really want it!

My weekend; Barraques!

Last weekend, Saturday I went to Barraques in Girona! Yes, finally I went out somewhere else but home, I was really looking forward leaving home and doing something different. It doesn’t mean I had no homework or studying, I did like always! But I just thought to myself; “I’ll just do them on Sunday, I’m so fed up!”

So, to get there I signed a paper in Castelló d’Empúries for the free bus that they offer on special occasions to take us there and back. We took the bus at 21:15h and off we went to Girona.
While we were all in the bus on the way to Girona, our guide explained us we would have to meet in front of Correus at 4:30am! Something was really confusing us do, because at 3am the hour went back an hour, so it would really be instead 2am, so we didn’t really know when to get on the bus, the old hour or the new hour? Well, the guide said that we had to be at the bus at the old hour, quite a confusing moment there!

When we got there, everyone went their way; I went with Clara and other friends, we went on a couple of rides and we did have a lot of fun, but we soon got bored, and it was only 1am! So we went down where they did all the concerts, we soon got fed up of that as well, so we just sat down somewhere for the past 2 hours.

My feet where freezing I couldn’t wait to get on the bus, I was so cold even if the weather was quite nice there, the hours went by so slowly, I was so glad when it was time to go back at the warm bus!
Soon as we all set off back home, everyone was so tired that soon as they sat down on the nice soft chairs they all closed they’re eyes and went to sleep, I must have been the first one!

We got to Castelló d’Empúries and we got off the bus half awake and half asleep, Clara’s cousin’s mum picked us up and took us to Fortià, when I and Clara got to her house we fell asleep in a matter of seconds. We didn’t even say goodnight to each other, we where that tired and fed up.

We slept nearly all day Sunday, and then I got really stressed because I didn’t even start my homework, so I was all night Sunday doing it. It happens. Luckily I has an extra hour because of the hour had changed.

Will I go to Barraques this weekend?

I really don’t think so, don’t feel like being stressed tired, weather predictions are worse this weekend and I’ll be colder, I want a relaxing weekend with plenty of time to do my homework and studies, next to my heater.

100% dedication!

Studying…

If there’s one thing you should worry about in Batxillerat, it’s all that work and studying you have to do everyday until you get sick and tired.
It’s important to be on top of everything, because as soon as you start to forget your work it starts to build up, but, it builds up so quickly. If you don’t do your homework, you don’t really know how to do the exercises, and then of course as the exam dates approximates you start to get really stressed, your in a hurry to learn it all once, and you get so annoyed that your mind blocks and then you don’t even know the things that you knew.

If you want to be in Batxillerat, it’s because you want to, it’s not a obligation, there for study a lot and always do your homework, that’s why you’re there. Even if sometimes you can’t be asked to do it because you’re fed up.
ESO is obligatory, so there’s an excuse if you don’t do your homework or study, because you’re there by obligation not really because you want to be there.
Anyway in ESO isn’t as much work as Batxillerat, so let’s say that you’re more relaxed, everything’s much slower, and things don’t build up so quickly.
God in my class, well of course all the Batxillers, we have to learn new things so quickly, it’s like there’s no time to take it a bit easy.

In class I have to listen and write everything because otherwise I don’t even know what the teachers talking about, but I try my best. It’s also important to look at the work you’ve been doing from class at home, to make sure that you understand it, and if you don’t ,get help, from the teacher or doing homework lessons, I need some homework lessons myself!

So I’ve been explaining how it is over there, I think it’s important that this is clear for you, I f you really work at it, everyone has a chance, but work for it, it’s not easy. That’s my point of view, others may have another point of view, don’t know.

Last weekend, just studied maths and chemistry like mad and still the exams didn’t go as good as I thought they would of.
This weekend studying for three exams, Sciences of the Earth, Catalan and Biology, all hard, and reading Tirant Lo Blanc(so boring!),step by step I’ll make it!

Currently studying…

Fatal Plane Crash for Travis Barker

Travis Barker well known as the drummer in Blink 182, one of the only people I really look up to, nearly died in a fatal private plane crash on Saturday 20th of September 2008, it was a very shocking moment for me, I got very worried that he had died, I started to look over Internet and discovered that he hadn't died, but he was in a critical state and in hospital, because of the third degree burns on his body, he has been very lucky, only him and a DJ friend made it, four of them died burned to death.

Travis and fellow friends stayed for a few weeks in West Columbia and played live concerts there, after that, they had to take a private jet plane to get back. But, something horrible occurred while they where about to take off, the jet went of the road and crashed into a wall, everything went up in flames, only Travis and another managed to escape with severe burns, the others didn't make it.

While he was in hospital, they managed to speak to him after a long week, and he said:

"I am doing the best I can possibly be," he said. "I'm so anxious to get out of here... I've just been in surgery after surgery. I have third-degree burns basically from my feet up to my waist and both hands. One of my hands has second-degree burns and one has third-degree burns."

He also said, that since he was a kid he always had fear of planes:

"My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened... well, I'm just thankful to be alive!

It was a really shocking bit of news, that I’d really didn't expect at all, I can't believe that I nearly lost him like that, it’s amazing how people can go sometimes.

But at least he'll get better after some time, that's better than death, I think.

Your probably wondering, Why is Travis Barker such an inspiration to you? What is the reason? And many other questions!

Simple, first of all his skills on drumms are incredible, he's so fast and does some many things not a lot of people can do, he's one of the best drummer's in the world. Then, Travis Barker is in Blink182 a very unic and great band,they've got a diferent style than other bands, the lyrics are funny but at the same time true, they try to send a message. Finally, I just think Travis is a very cool person, the way he dresses, like a skate boarder, Barker became known for his mohawk and his tendency to perform without a shirt, revealing a multitude of tattoos.

Travis Barker- Enjoying snare drumming (must see! )
