In spite of, thanks got she comes back the next weekend and finally we will spend time together because skype is really nice for a few weeks but I prefer to see she face to face!

  I really miss my friend :) 

Self-evaluation

Few years ago we must did a presentation about our research project. Personally, I did it about nicknames of Castelló d'Empúries, my village. It was very hard found all the information but in the end it will be worth it. Now I will do my self-evaluation about this oral presentation!

LANGUAGE 20% I think my language was well and I've learned many key words like antropology, nickname, toponymy...  7

PRESENTATION 10% In my point of view, my prezi was very well structured and it was very nice too 8

BODY LANGUAGE AND EYE CONTACT 10% This is the worst aspect; sometimes I was nervous and then always speak too much fast. As well as every oral presentation I touch my hair too much but I am try to correct it! The next time I think I will wear my hear in a ponytail! 5

STRUCTURE 10% I structured very well my power point. First of all I told about why I chose this topic, and later I told about the objectives, the methodology and finally my conclusion's project 9

PRONUNCIATION 10% I believe my pronunciation sometimes is not perfect but this year i'm trying to improve my English level 8

CONTENT 40% The content was complete because I put there the most important parts of my project. There were the objectives, the methodology and the final conclusions 9

Finally, my final mark is 8

I can't post my video because I recorded it with a mobile that I losed..

Buenos Aires

In this photo you can see the center of Buenos Aires.

There are a lot of buildings which means that is full of bars, shops, museums and other so it can be a very interesting good place to live for a certain time 

Human Barbie doll

Valeria Lukyanova has admitted using plastic surgery and Photoshop to cultivate her doll-like appearance – but her tiny waist could also be a result of not eating for weeks.

"In recent weeks I have not been hungry at all; I'm hoping it's the final stage before I can subsist on air and light alone," she told the International Business Times.

Ms Lukyanova said she is converting to Breatharianism, a cult that believes food – and possibly water – is not necessary for human survival.

Valeria Lukyanova has a strong following across social media sites, with over 59,000 subscribers on YouTube, more than 9,500 followers on Twitter, and various Facebook pages dedicated to her.

With her cinched in waist, platinum blonde hair and vacant stare, Ms Lukyanova has attracted international criticism for her self-objectification and obsession with achieving an unrealistic concept of perfection.

In August she was the subject of Vice documentary Space Barbie, which explored her bizarre life and beliefs.

I personally think it is very bad what she is doing. I belive that beauty has to be natural and not superficial. If she countinious like this she will have a lot of health problems.

I think that we only have to have surgery when it is for health problems. Plastic surgery is very dangerous because it can happen a lot of accidents when you least expect it. I find it good that they are so expensive because otherwise everyone with a insignificant beauty problem would have a plastic surgery. Adding to that, I think that Breatharianism is very silly cult.

Our hidden talent

I want to talk about a video Noa's sister did of my firends and I. She had to do it for a project in her photography school. Her idea was to film a friendship video so my friends and I offered us to colaborate with her.

First we filmed a scene in her house and then we went to a very beautiful place at the river Muga called Viasa. When we started to film it also started to rain but eventhough we continued. Later we had a lot of luck because the sun came out from behind the clouds and we went to the beach!

We had a lot of fun this day and we laugh a lot. In my opinion the video is amazing. The actresses were amazing and the director and editor did an incredible job. She became a 9,5 for this project and she was so happy.

The song in the video is called Touch a new day by Lena Meyer Landrut, she won the Eurovision song contest with the song Satellite which is known all around the world. 

Here I upload the video!

Last weekend, I'm in love with Carnival

Last weekend it was carnival in Rosas and Stpere. On Friday it was in Rosas and on Saturday in St.Pere. 

I was dressed up as a polar bear with my friends, and the boys were dressed up as we . 

On Friday night my friends came to my house to get ready like dress up and put make-up on, then we walked into the center to a burger restaurant for dinner. After we ate we went to the carnival parade and we had a really good time and a lot of fun. From one o'clock there were a lot of people and we all had a great time. And on Saturday night the carnival continued in Stpere. The party was like in New year's eve and a lot of people came of different towns, it was incredible! These night was awesome, but I had more fun on Friday in Roses..I absolutely love Carnival, the next week it will be in Empuriabrava and Castelló!!! I'm waiting for go to more party

Calvin & Hobbes returns!

Las day I saw on newspaper that Cartoonist Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin & Hobbes, comic couple, returns to the comic, strip after closing the adventures of Calvin and his little stuffed tiger on December 31, 1995, having been published in more 2,400 newspapers. 

After almost 20 years away from the cartoon, Watterson has taken his style to design the poster of the documentary Stripped, which addresses the state of the comic strip and newspapers. This is one of the few appearances of the artist and his second work published in the last two decades, since his retirement from live isolated and does not allow interviews.

I absolutely love those drawings..

Thousands in Guatemala facing evacuation as Pacaya volcano erupts

Today a volcano has erupted in Guatemala and the authorities have evacuated  of some 3,000 people living near the volcano. The Pacaya volcano began spewing ash and lava after a powerful explosion on Saturday afternoon. New explosions were seen on Sunday, with ash clouds reaching a height or at least 4km.

Flights have been diverted from the area, some 50km south of the capital, Guatemala City. The Pacaya is one of three active volcanoes in the Central American nation. The other two are the Fuego and the Santa Maria

The Pacaya National Park director Humberto Morales said to the Prensa Libre newspaper "We are assessing with the National Disaster Management Centre whether we will need to evacuate the 3000 people who live in the villages of El Rodeo and Patrocinio"

The Guatemalan authorities have issued an amber alert, the third highest. It means people must remain alert and be prepared to leave the area at short notice.

My new obsession

Today i want to talk about my obssesion to watch videos in youtube. I can watch videos for hours and hours.. specially about makeup, hair and fashion!! There are a lot of girls who uploads videos every day and give tips for all you need. "youtubers" uploads videos since how to organize your closet until how comb your hair to not spoil it. I sometimes watch laughing videos and I laugh a lot watching these:) So, I don't know what i'd do without YOUTUBE!!!!

Devious Maid

A few weeks ago we watched Devious maid (criadas y malvadas) because it's relationated with the gap year. The serie is an  american adaptation of a mexico serie named "Ellas son la Alegría del Hogar". The American adaptation was to follow four maids with ambition and dreams of their own while they work for the rich and famous in Beberly Hills . The first chapter begins with a murder and all season  tries to discover who was the real the murderer woman. So, i know it's hard to believe but I've watched all chapters.. again because it's very interesting. 

Frankenstein

It's impossible not to find differences between them when you watch a film and read a book, normally you first read the book and after, when the book's become popular, it makes the movie. In this case I have to admit that I liked the book more because the movie is a little different and the characters are very unrealistic, at least in the book you can imagine the scars monster ..

Frankenstein is infused with some elements of the gothic novel  and the romantic movement and is also considered to be one of the earliest examples of science fiction.

About gap year

I think make a gap year it's a great decision in our lifes because it's a good way to be independent, spend your own money, know about differents customs and traditions and, ofcourse, learn the language!

Stay alone without your family and friends helping us everytime and giving advices it's fantastic for growing up and to realize what it's the real life.

I have a good friend who the next year will makes a gap year and she's very excited and scared both.. She don't know where she wil goes yet but probably will be a poor site and she will goes to help thoose people. I will miss a lot my friend Noa :)

I personally think right now I couldn't do a gap year because it would be very hard to get away from all my people but I wish I could do it and live one of the best experiences of my life..
