50 First Dates (film review)


Sinopsis of the film

Henry (Sandler) lives an enviable life in a Hawaiian paradise, spending every night with a beautiful tourist in search of an island fling. It's a sweet life with no strings attached...until he meets Lucy (Barrymore). He and Lucy hit it off from the get-go, but the next day she acts like she doesn't know him. Has his karma come around to kick him in the butt or what? Actually, Lucy has short-term memory loss so every night all memory of her day is erased. But a man in love will go to any lengths to win over the girl of his dreams, and if that means having to find imaginative ways of doing it over again every day, then Henry's up for the challenge.



Personal opinion

Days ago I asked to my friend for his favorite film and a few minutes later he told me that 50 first dates was a film good for him, then, I watched the film and, not is good, this film is exelent!!.

I loved this film, first I thought that in the end, like in the others romantic comedies, the end would be very happy, but no! the end for me is between happy and sad!. The end like this  makes the beautiful.

The film is funny too, and I liked so much when the boy tries to make the girl loves him. I think that the people who thinks that all the comedies are funny has to go to see this film.

The woman (news)

40 years ago only the 27% of the spanish woman were working. Now more of the 55% of spanish woman are working.

In these years, when the woman only could stay in their house caring their children, they had no the same rights that the men. For exemple, the woman could not open a bank account or have a driving license without the permission of their husband or father.

There were women who not wanted to live that way and began to fight for equality between men and women. For exemple, Amalia Rol who was , in 1972, the first police woman or Sagrario Aguardo who was the Champion of Spain's high jump, she had to fight with a society that considered unfeminine women who practiced sports.
 
Today the difference between women and men in front the rights or duties are minor but we, the women, have a long way for get the total equality between us.

Podcast




Meriem is a great friend of mine. She is 1,65 metres tall, brown eyes and she's got long wavy black hair. She's got a friendly face and she doesn't care a lot about her apparence and is for this that sometimes her clothes don't match.

She's a person who can stress you easily because she's really persistent, she always wants to be right and you have to tell her a good argumentation if you want to convice her.

Sometimes she can be a bit bossy, but i don't care about it. She says the things that she thinks straight away, i like this sometimes, but other times she can get in problems. I like that she doesn't have two faces and you can trust her.

She loves all about manga and anime. She loves corean groups of singers and her platonic love is Kim jaejoong, a corean singer who belongs to the group DBSK, her favorite group.

Fairytail


He is running, running, and running. He is seeing and listening her voice in his mind again and again: her songs with her sweet voice, her 'I love you' that always is saying with her happy face and her bright eyes and fill of love, her slower moves through these trees in these woodland, like dancing a soft song....And he is running through the empty streets trying to forget all these happy moments that torment his mind, moments that make his tears go out by his eyes without stop, and he tries but he can't make it stop.

In what moment he had become a monster? he has not heart? he has not salvation for his soul? he doesn't know it.

He arrives to his house, the house where he lived the most happy moments in his life, an old life that he never would live again. He opens the door and through the corridor looking around with his heart bating like crazy with his eyes much open and a rapid breathe for run. He tries to calm down before open the door, when he can do it, he opens the door slowly for not to wake his little daughter. She is lying on her bed, smiling because her dreams are happy.

He really wants kill that little life that is pure and innocent?, but why she has to live? she may be will become a person as her father, able to killing?. He stumbles with the nightstand and makes noisy. His little and sweet daughter wakes up, and half asleep, with a big smile on her face and her sweet voice, she says: 'hello daddy can't you sleep? want you sleep on my side? with me?'

He really is a monster, a big monster in a city fill of monsters. What he has to do now? he just can lie down on the middle of his bedroom, on the floor, and use his gun for a third time to end this nightmare. was better not to be for see how humanity will became people without heart, able to kill anything to eat, including humans, even the most innocent and pure life as his beloved daughter.

May be in another site, wherever her love and her daughter were, he will find them.

The speed limit on freeways and highways is 110 km / h. (news)


The government move to save energy by the uncertainty of the political crisis in the Arab world.

After the reunion Council of Ministers, Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba has reported that the highway speed limit be reduced from 120 kilometres/hour to 110 kilometres/hour, this new law will be since of March 7 in order to reduce the cost of petrol and diesel.

With the reduction, from 120 to 110 kilometers per hour on motorways, the government plans to reduce spending by 15% to 11% petrol and diesel.

In a country so dependent on oil, as Spain, the government has to take action depending the countries that are in cirisis and export Oil, because, if the country who export Oil is in crisis, the price of the Oil is higher.

I don't think that is precisely the solution of the problem. With These measures  the traffic will increase ( now there are a lot).They say that the cost of gasoline will be reduced but I think that, as slower we will go, we will spend more gasoline and money.

Another reason for not approve this new law is the change of all the Signals in Spain.
They will would to spend a lot of money in this when there are lot of things that are more important to change in this country.

Concert by Bon Jovi


Since the last summer I like so much Bon Jovi - I didn't listened them before - and now is one of my favorites bands like simple plan or FT Island or DBSK (from Corea). They are wonderful and all their songs are so good. My favorites songs are 'I am', 'What do you got?' and another is 'We weren't born to follow' their lyrics are so good and the music is fantastic.

Now I'm wating for their concert that will be on 27 of jule of this year, Natàlia V. and Natàlia S. bought the tickets but, of couse, we gave them the money before.

I will go with Natàlia Varela, Natàlia Sellés, Pau, and Victor. First, we will go to take the train in figueres to Barcelona and, then, we will meet with Victor when we will arrive there (he lives in Barcelona) and we will go to Stadio Olimpic of Montjüic by taxi, because yonder will be the concert.

I'm so happy, I never have been before at one concert like this and I like that the first concert that I will go is by Bon Jovi!. I'm so happy!.

Music from Corea and Japan

I like listen music from Corea and Japan. Normally the songs are talking about love (I say normally for no say always! XD) and I like this so much because I had listen songs about all and a lot of them don't have sense (from other parts of the world like france, EUA or Spain)
The groups that I listen from Corea are groups of corean pop that is similar to occidental pop but is not the same, they sing in Japanese too!; from Japan I like listen groups of pop, but I like more groups of rock and normally I only listen the songs that I like.
If I like a group it does not mean that I like all their songs. I can't choose only one song like my favorite song because there are a lot of songs that I like so much.

In the future I want to go to one concert of them; some of singers and groups from Japan come here for make concerts but if I go I have to go alone and I do not want to do it, and, always, they make their concerts in Barcelona and I can not go.

Exemples of thegroups or artists that I like:
 

From Japan I listen: X-japan, Gackt, Girugamesh, The gazette, News, Arashi, KAT-TUN, Utada Hikaru, Ai Otsuaka...


From Corea: DBSK, Girls generation, Kara, Super Junior, Shinee, G-Dragon (belongs to the group Big Bang), CNBlue, FT Island, Younha...





DS, Wii, And PC

When I don't have anything to do or my brother isn't in the house - when he is next to me I can't play beacuse he always is saying 'why you do it?, why....? why.....?' and, seriouly, I can't play!- I play a lot with the wii, the DS, and the PC.

On the nintendo wii I like play with the new game of Mario Bross - That game was a present for my brother on his birthday -, on  the DS I don't have one game in particular that I like to play, I like all of them, and on the PC I like to play the game the Sims 3 that was a present by my mother by christmas, at first I didn't know how to play and make one house was so dificult but now is easy and more if I have a lot of money! (I use the game tricks XD).

I want to buy a lot of games for Nintendo Wii, DS and PC and buy the new DS and give the DS that I have now to my brother, but I can't because I don't have money for do it. In the future I want to buy a lot of games and for my birthday I want games!, so I go to say this to my parents.

Book club

Since I was on 4th of ESO I'm in the book club. In this club, that is organizated by Mario and Isabel, the spanish teachers , we talk about one book that they given to us for read. We talk about the things that are important about the book, we answer questions about what you don't understand, we say what we liked or not about the book etc.


In this club the last year I read 'La mecánica del corazón' by Malzieu Mathias, another book that now I can't remember the name and 'The road' by Cormac McCarthy, seriously, I love this book, a lot of people don't liked this book (in the club), but to my is one of the best books that I have read. This year I read 'Las hijas de Tara' by Laura Gallego García and now I'm reading 'La evolución de Calpurnia Tate' by Jacqueline Kelly and I like the part that I have read. We met for talk about this book but I had not finished yet so I'm still reading. For the next session I have to read 'Como agua para chocolate' by Laura Esquivel, I read the sinopsis and I don't have hurry to read it.

The Aquarium of Barcelona


On Wednesday 2 of March of 2011 I went to the Aquarium of Barcelona with my mother and my brother, my father couldn't go because he was working.

First we took the train to Barcelona Passeig de Gracia and then we went to the consulate of Colombia.

After, we took a taxi that led us to the Aquarium, but we were so hungry and we decided to eat in the McDonal's that was there. 

Then, we went to buy the ticket for enter and, because it was early, there were not a lot of people and it was good. When you enter they take a photo that you can buy when you go out.  In there all is fantastic, there are a lot of  species of fish!, all in the aquarium is so interesting and I saw a lot of fish that I never had seen before! My brother was very very happy! and we too of course. I took a lot of photos but without flash ( I didn't like the people who took pothos with flash because it isn't good for the fish) and I filmed a lot!

The most that I like was the sharks and penguins and we could saw how they fed them!. 

My mum bought one penguin, one ball and one glass to my brother, to me, she bought one snake  (she didn't like my decision because she hates the snakes) and one glass, and for herself she bought one thing that holds the photos. 

In the future I hope to go again because I liked it so much, and the next time I hope that all us can go together and, maybe, go with my friends one day.

Avatar ( film review )

Sinopsis of the film Avatar


















Jake Sully, a former Marine in a wheelchair, is recruited to travel to Pandora, where the humans extracted a rare mineral that will be the key to solve the energy crisis on Earth. Cause Pandora's atmosphere is toxic, they have created the Avatar program, which "leads" humans have their minds together to an avatar, a biological body controlled remotely that can survive in the deadly air. These avatars have been genetically engineered as a hybrid combining human DNA with DNA from the native beings of Pandora, the Na'vi.
In his avatar form, Jake can walk again and infiltrate in the Na'vi 's clan, which have become a major obstacle to extract the precious mineral. But Na'vi Neytiri, saves the life of Jake, and this changes everything. Jake is accepted by his clan, and prepared to become one of them. As the relationship evolves with Neytiri, he learn to respect the way of being of Na'vis and he takes his place between them. But Jake has to decide to fight for Pandora or not.

Personal opinion

I love this film, all the special effects are wonderful and the Pandora's world is 'magic' all these nature and the pure soul of the Na'vi is so beautiful. This is what happens there in the Earth. We are destroying all this nature, and a lot of animals are dying day by day. Now they have descovered another world like the Earth, but I think that we don't have to search another worlds and another lifes if we, may be, in the future, we going to destroy them.
