An unkown start (III)

Finally, she took the risk and she turned her head being able to watch what she hadn't expected . She stared at man's big blue eyes surrounded by some wrinkles. Due to his voice, she had thought he could be a younger  but now, when their faces were only separated for a few metres, her mind travelled to the last summer, to the day when she discovered an old photograph of a man who had the shape and color of her eyes, that rainy day of August when her very old and ill grandmother told her the truth.

''What are you doing here?, Are you lost?''

The man insisted again. She ignored for a moment that bitter memory which was still doing echo in her mind and passed her tongue over her cracked lips.

''Yes, I'm new here and I don't know how to....Eh...Could you...Could you say me where I can find the Rosemary's camp?''

The man looked at her and knitted his brows.

''Are you sure you are okay?, you look a bit nervous''.

The young girl suddenly realised she had been swinging her body without stopping.

''Yes, I'm okay'' She answered putting her hands on the pockets of her coat.

''Well,  I will show you the path, I'm Henry, What's your name?'' He smiled widely.

''Anna, Anna Hamilton''

The man's face seemed to change the expression for a second but then he smiled again.

'' It's something strange to find someone here at Christmas night, What brings you here?''

Anna didn't know how to avoid answering. That man was a complete unknown, she had to be very careful about what she could tell him.

''I'm an student, I was given a scholarship so I used it to travel''

''What an uncommon choice!  I wouldn't travel to a place like that if I had had your opportunity''

The old man's questions were making her feel more and more anxious as the minutes were passing.

Introduction and conclusion activity.

Introduccion: Some years ago, Christmas Eve was the time of the year when the family went together for dinner and for singing popular songs around a fireplace while they were eating delicious traditional sweets. Nowadays, the common thing you can expect from Christmas days is people desperate for buying presents without even have enough money and boring  dinners with relatives to whom you don't have many to speak about.

Conclusion: Finally, Christmas Eve has sadly turned into a consumerism and stressful season in which people dont really enjoy it as they should do because, they forget that the reason for this family gatherings is to have a good and peaceful time with the people you love.

Fear appears when insecurity says ''Hello''

All these last days I have been experimenting something indescribable. It feels like all the good vibes have disappeared, the chaos is coming again, the papers start to choke me slowly...January is just around the corner and, surprise, it comes carrying presents full of exams.

I always try not to focus my thoughts only in the exams but, to be honest, they are always the ones that can make you be happily ever after or unlike this, let you down in the saddest emotional state.

I know exams are necessary in order to show you have already learnt the skills you have been studying during the year but, they have the ability to make me feel more and more little as they are nearer, what is commonly called insecurity.

The same feelings comes to me while I am studying, ''Am I  doing it well?'', ''Am I going in the right way''?...This is not new, though this is my first year at university, that has nothing to do with my eternal horror to exams, that exist since I was at the high school and truly sadly, it seems it will be with me forever.

Fortunately, things are not always as dark as we see it and sometimes I really realise that I'm studying what I've always wanted to study, my favorite subject of all the time so, that's can't go wrong, I have reached my goal, I'm an university student, I'm supposed to get over the exams, what is possible, Im sure, like it always have been in the past years.

Thank you for reading, I hope you have felt identified with my words and that these have helped you, like writing this has helped me.

The Ideal journey

All is in silent. People are already sleeping inside the cabins, but instead of closing my eyes so early, I prefer lying down on the frozen grass and see the brightness of the stars. The cold wind blows smoothly and moves my hair slightly, I´m thinking about my family, they are so far away from me, in Spain, but in some way I don´t feel lonely, the people in this country are very nice and this trip is being amazing...

—Wait a minute!—I have opened my eyes immediately—. I´ve just had a dream!

I don´t know how many times I wake up in the morning after having this beautiful dream, only that, a dream: I'm travelling to Norway to see the impressive fjords, staying in the  house of a native family as a guest, while I’m living an unforgettable adventure .

As I see it, travelling is the most breathtaking experience in our lives. When you travel to any place in the world, you will never forget these moments in the foreign country, the people ways of life, the traditions, the food, the beautiful sceneries…

There are many reasons to travel around the world and find a tiny part of you in each country you visit. Moreover, you don´t have to set off with many things or clothes in your suitcase, you only need the basics, a camera and a huge adventure spirit, and things will happen naturally. 

Also, you don´t have to be afraid, because in many chases this is the reason for not travelling abroad.When you have decided your destination after reading a few travel brochures or web sites, the following step is to go to the travel agent, buy your ticket and board on the next plane.

After a few hours or days, the plane arrives at the airport and you are officially in a foreign and unknown country, waiting for the things that this place can offer you, full of new illusions and encouraged to discover a new part of your world.

My dream journey is going to a place in the north, but there are hundreds of places you could visit for a new experience like New Zealand, Australia, India, Japan, China or even the unspoilt parts of the world like the Amazons.

No matter what ideas or plans you have made for your trip, surely, all these notes in your notebook will be forgotten and, without any doubt, I can say that they will be replace with other things better yet. The adventure is guaranteed!

Everybody needs a chance

Everyday, on the radio, in music programmes, we hear the same famous music that everybody is supposed to like, but hardly ever, we discover some new music from this kind of platforms.

Someday I would like to hear or watch in the Tv, for instance, one song by a band that few people know or even, a song by an unknown singer who has just begun his career. For me, all the musicians should have the opportunity to show their piece of music, in which thay have been working for so many hours, and not only  those who are usually in the spotlight.

 Music is such a wide world which we need to discover, that is impossible to enjoy it completely if you don't go further and seek new artist or composer whose works are usually ignored by the media.I have to say that I have discovered many of my most favorite artists by chance searching music on youtube, thanks to web pages like that, I have really opened my mind to new styles of music that I didn't even  know I liked them so much.

An unknown start (II)

She said to herself all was going to be well, she had been in a difficult situation before, she was able to keep walking. But her mind was divided into many opinions, the voices inside her head damaged her ears, she couldn't stop them, the confusion became into desperation, such an unfair battle with her thoughts, she suddenly stopped.

The cold wind seemed like it had silenced their singing , all was so quiet, so alone. The words faded out of her mind and then the fear hit her.A shadow appeared behind her, she didnt know how to react, she prefered stay in silence.

``Do you need help?´´

The voice sounded patiently. She wanted to move her mouth but her lips were stamped.

``What´s your name?´´

The man wanted to touch her shoulder but the small girl looked like a statue.

Senses

If don't know myself,

Who will know me better ?

It is such a strange question

 I don't even believe in it

No, I have to forget it

The answer it is not true at all

You look at me like a mirror in the roof

Waiting for the moonlight

Where the cats are meowing

Bursting their echoes in the hidden caves 

In the ocean

Does it come to you? Could you hear it?

Close the two doors of the soul and listen slowly to me,

Let the blue melody come into the loneliness

I know you are near, nearer from my voice

Follow the signals

Fill  the path with the tears

Build your base

Don’t wait only for me

I am used to sleeping in the dark

I will be there soon

I hope I will be there

I see blurred lines in your poetry

But it doesn't mean something to me

                 

Activity: Thesis

This week we have been working in create a Thesis , the sentence that opens a complete essay. This is my example:

Everybody should have the right of changing their name if they dont like it, because it is necessary to feel freedom and self confident with themselves.

Problems and solutions: Bad use of internet in teenagers

Millions of teenagers are connected to the net everyday without stopping, the problem comes when they start  making wrong decissions and exposure themselves to strangers.

Usually, parents don´t know well what their sons or daughters can be doing while they are in front of the computer but, sometimes their children are being mislead, trusting in fake accounts and making `friends´ with someone completely unknown and with bad intentions.

It´s something difficult to parents to discover that their children are really using the internet in the wrong way, but one solution to avoid it, could  be the control and supervision of the social networkings where their children pass most of time, try to find out something strange or even dangerous.

However, this parental supervisions could be the point to star many argues and can create in teenagers a wrong image of the parents figure, seeing them like the enemies, since teenagers would feel betrayed by their own parents and even more insecure if they dont find the support in their relatives.

For that reason, one of the best ways to persuade the bad use of the internet is to building a base of knowledge about the advantages and disadvantages of the net since they are kids, explaining the good purposes and the risk in using internet and above all, dont stop the communication between parents and children,although sometimes they can feel a bit overprotected.

Shame

It's a shame that some people that are supposed to be polite, suddenly become so rude and unpleasant. Now, after this short but determined message I would like to write down something:

"Doesnt matter what kind of music , music and musician creates art, and it has to be respected, think before talk bad about any type of music"

Thanks for reading ;)

An unknown start

Breathing, she was only breathing. She let the cold air come into her lungs and throw it to the emptiness again. She didn't know how many times she had been doing that, maybe for hours or maybe for seconds but each time the oxygen ripped her throat, she gave thanks for having that moment of life, although she felt the most hopeless person in the world, she knew that her life was just about to begin , in a forgotten scenery among the mountains, next to a broken car in the middle of a lonely road. She was holding a broken heart, trying to fix its small pieces once again with the salt water that was falling down from her eyes.

She rubbed her hands insistently and attempted to stop the shivers of her teeth, praying for someone who drives her to the camp. It couldn’t be so complicated to find a good soul ready to do good acts on Christmas night or that was what she thought.

The night fell stronger above her at the time she was sinking her feet in the snow.

Differences between living in the city and living in a village.

First of all, I must say I´ve been living in a very small village all my life. In a village like mine, you will never get lose, almost all people knows you or your family, besides your neighbors will become part of your daily life, in fact, you will see them more often than your family. My village is a good place for example, to do sport, I can see the mountain from my window, it´s so near to the nature, activities like senderism, hiking or picnic can easily being carried out and you don´t need to go by car, this is other excuse for taking your bike and go ahead.

After some really good advantages, I confess that all that is gold does not glitter, and that means that many times you can feel tired of doing almost all weekends the same things. For that reason, I personally think that living in the city is far better.


The city is always alive, there are plenty of theatres, cafes, shops, people... Furthermore in many cases you don´t need to catch the bus or drive the car, It will be always fun to go through the streets, with someone or alone, feel the vibe of the city, the motion of the people around you, It seems like you are free of going wherever you want without obstacles, It´s like you belong to the city and of course, the city belongs to you.

To sum up, villages are good places if you are a nature lover or simply a quiet person who likes the lonely, but if you are a lively and curious mind, your perfect future will be  in a big city, full of things you most like.

All we need is love for music

Many times I have made myself a question: What would I do without music in this world?

I only know that I would be in a real trouble, because music has became an essential part in my life, it makes me develop my creativity, it creates a new dimension of me and helps me to write new stories or think in a new storyline of a film that will never be released. This are only some reasons of why I love so much music but what about saving me from feeling  bored? I have to thanks music and musicians a lot  for filling all these hours that would have been boring, turn them into dreams come from  their melodies.

After this BIG thanks to music for being in the world, I start to answer my proposal. There is something deeper beyond listening to music, there are emotions that comes through our ears and make us be happy or at least be less sad than before , something that can´t be expressed with words but yes with movements of our body while you are in a party or only singing in your bedroom for instance. Music is such a  huge world!, so enormous that you never know what you are going to discover the following day while you are searching on internet, so endless that everybody can find their place in it and of course so cruel that only the opinion of your best friend, your brother or even a comment in a youtube video can make you hate what you  loved without any doubt  before.

If I could change something from the internet would be the people who insult music. No matter what kind of music, it is unacceptable, and actually I don't understand why this people are writing a comment in a music video of a singer or a band they dislike, they don´t think in people who really finds meaning in the melody or in the lyrics, they are only selfish and arrogant people   who believe that their taste in music is the one and only and the best  in the whole world, how wrong they are!

Fortunately, I don´t usually find something unpleasant in the comments section of a piece of music I really like and if I find something stupid I ignore it,  but I know that this happens constantly, not only in youtube comments but in opinion sections of some music magazines.

Behind each impolite speech there are people who feel bad for hearing  unfair arguments, behind each piece of music there are people who have been working in it for months or years. I´m not saying that nobody can say their opinion about music,  in fact I think that is necessary but always with respect. I agree with the rights of people who loves enjoying music above all and let the others enjoy music too. 

This is the only important thing for me: delighting in your favorite music, sharing it with your friends to have fun together and find out new music to adore.

All we need is love for music ;)

My playlist has no end and I love so many genres and musicians but here are some special songs I really love and people usually don't listen to.

Thanks for reading :)

Film Review ''The maze runner''

Today I´m going to tell you about a film called The maze runner, One friend of mine loves the book series and the film(which is based on the books) , so I decided to go to the cinema with her and with another friend.

The film is about a group of young people who are locked in a huge and dangerous maze. They don´t remember their past life, they don´t even know what they are doing there, they only try to survive in that devastating place where surviving is getting harder every single day of their lives. Only the best runners have the opportunity to get into the maze and try to find the exit, but watch out! Nobody has survived inside the maze in the night.

 

                                Moment in the film where this awful beast wants the dinner.


There were parts in the film I really enjoyed, the special effects are great(sometimes I feel like I was playing a videogame) and the actors do their role properly and credible, but also you can lose the story line if you didn't read the books because the dialogues give you some clues that are not very clear or that make yourself anxious to discover the cause of what they are there. However, I actually think this is the main reason of the script: make the spectators keep waiting, hence, the screenwriters did their job well, though you  lose your time finding possible reasons.

                                Between the mazer walls,

At the end of the film you can discover some of the first reasons about why  are they there and much more, but this is only the beginning of two more films that, like this one, will make you live an interesting and exciting fictional story to recommend to your friends.

My favorite place

There is not best place for losing myself that this beautiful and unspoilt beach called Las llanas in Murcia or  Playa de las algas as well . This is my favorite place to go in holiday with  my family or with friends. Many people don´t know it or they prefer going to a crowded beach, so this one is usually empty or without many people around.

                                Impressive photograph of the views.

Sunny days are the best because the water is clear and crystal. Imagine  yourself having a relaxing bath between the waves while you are smelling the salt breeze that the wind blows. Then, you get out of the water and lay down to feel the sun rays above your body and look at the sky, where you will probably see some seagulls flying around looking for their lunch. This is a typical day in Las llanas,a fantastic day  for me .

There is three ways to get into this beach: By car( of course if you don´t live near) and by cycling or by walking, the most environmentally-friendly, fun and adventurous ways if you live in a village near to there. I love going by walking, the path which I have to go through  is so mysterious and it seems so endless that it become a challenge for me. I do it with plenty of happiness because after the effort I will find one of the most gorgeous beaches in my city.

You should go to Las llanas if you want to discover a little  paradise in Murcia and for sure have a very good time with  people you love.

Describing an important person in my life (Paragraph one)

This week in my Practicas de Redacción class I had to create a paragraph to introduce the topic sentence of an essay, in this case: My sister Cristina:


She´s one of the most reliable person that I know, she´s been the shoulder against I´ve cried in many times,  she´s truthful and mature, the kind of person I want to be in the future, she is my sister, Cristina. Despite of being older than me, we have many things in common, no matter what we are talking about, because we always(or almost always) have the same thoughts.

My favorite pet=My cats!

I´ve always loved cats, since I was a child. I also like dogs but in some way I feel better with cats.
Firstly, I think they´re one of the most peaceful animals and that can be caused because they waste sixteen hours of the day only for sleeping.

When I come back home and I see my three cats sleeping in the sofa, I experiment such a great feeling. They gives me the calm that I need after a long busy day. Sometimes, I can´t avoid wake up my cats and petting them, usually they change their position and begin to purr, they are so lovely!

                                          Arrorro taking a rest.

Having a cat by my side has became necessary for me. Besides, I feed homeless cat that appear in front of my door, some of them are very small and in fact, one of my cats called Arrorro is one os these little cats that I tried to help.

                                         O´malley and Tom, of course taking a rest.


For me, my cats are like a part of my family, not only my predilect pets, they are my most patient friends.

October is here!

Hi Everyone!

Today is 1st October and that means that we are officially  in autumn. I think that autumn and spring are my favorite seasons of the year. I don´t see the moment to take my warm coat and my black boots and go out in a cold day. I love this time of the year, in some way I feel it is more poetic...The old leaves are falling, drifting away by the wind while you are trying to avoid the puddles on the street.

Although I love going to the beach to see the sea and breath the salt air, the summer in Murcia is extremely hot and long, so I´m very tired of the  sunny days. Moreover, I love the rain,(only without thunders and rays), the rain clean the air of the atmosphere, it´s  sound is so serene, calm, when is raining you can realise how powerful is the nature and the effects that she can make on us.

Finally I would like to wish you a very peaceful and nice autumn full of good moments and laughs.

My 'Fear' Poem

Fear of feeling that nobody understand me
Fear of getting tired of what I love
Fear of forgetting how to smile
Fear of being lost in the right way
Fear of losing your voice
Fear of saying the taboo word
Fear of the hopeless emptiness
Fear of close my eyes in the night
Fear of seeing you in my dreams
Fear of waiting for something that will never come.

Disappointed...(Some verses)

Today I can´t find myself

Today all the hopes are gone in the contrary way

Today I feel a bite of pain inside

I´ve finally realised why I never can see the sky..

I´m always helping my friends, doing favours to them

and all that they give me back is ungrateful.

Everytime, I try to understand why they see me like anyone else

and not like the person that have been by their side in bad years 

All is confusing, all is sad,

 there isn't wings to fly 

There is no place to hide the scars.

I only can remember the rain

 falling over me

and nobody saving me

 from its burning tears.

Welcome to From my own letters!

Hello Everybody! It´s quite strange for me to be here, writing this, simply words, such an insignificant words.... But maybe, though this doesn´t mean something important for many people, actually for me means that many things in my ordinary life will change. Even, I can claim that, in fact, the whole world that I see everyday will change at the same time too . And I say  this,  without thinking about it very much, because I believe that this is the easiest way to do it, like with blindfolded eyes.
