Love song

LYRICS:

What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can’t pin you down
What’s going on in that beautiful mind
I’m on your magical mystery ride
And I’m so dizzy, don’t know what hit me, but I’ll be alright

My head’s under water
But I’m breathing fine
You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind

'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning
'Cause I give you all, all of me
And you give me all, all of you

How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you’re crying you’re beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I’m around through every move
You’re my downfall, you’re my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can’t stop singing, it’s ringing, in my head for you

(Chorus)

Cards on the table, we’re both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it’s hard

(Chorus)

REFLECTION:

This song is related to what Romeo and Juliet feel for each other. The chorus of the lyrics makes me think of the scene when Romeo told Juliet he had to go away from Verona and and the day before of the banish when he spent all the night with her. Both characters can't live without having each other. It's like they are in completely love. 

How important is love in your life?

Love conversation with Cels

In this discussion I found out that not everybody has the same opinions when it comes to love. Talking with Cels I realised that he doesn't believe in love at first sight, that for him age difference isn't important in a couple, that in a date one person should pay what he/she spends, etc.

I found out also that we have so much in common when we discussed, for example, we both agree in the same characterists that our girl/boyfriend should have or we both said that being single has its own advantatges and it's not as bad as many people may think.

A conversation about humour

Do you think humour is necessary?

Have you ever wondered why the scientists tell us to smile every day? It's a simple action to do but, which are the benefits and which scientific explication do they have?

We all know that in our daily lives we laugh, at least once, and we also know that not alway our smiles are true. Sometimes we force a smile, as we can see at the DNI photo, maybe  we fake a smile in front of people who we don't really get along with, or a knowing smile when you and your friend understand each other without even talk.

But, what we don't know is that every time we laugh or smile, even if it's fake, our brains emit and order to produce special substances known as endorphins, related to morphine, that apart from relieve the pain, they protect our body from virus and bacterias, among other benefits.

Firstly, laughter can provide us with mental healthy benefits. It makes us more positive, optimistic and it helps us to find new ways of meaning and hope when we are depressed. Laughter increases our energy and allows us to see difficult situations in a more realistic view. These are the main reasons why the "therapeutic laughter therapy" has became this popular. This therapy involves grup or individual sessions that use shows, movies or stories to stimulate laughter and makes us happier.

Secondly, it can be used to treat heat conditions and high blood pressure and increases the number of antibody producing cells. Adding to that, laughter can strenghten immune system and it diminishes pain.

Thirdly, it improves social health benefits. It brings people together and strenghtens relationship. Why? Because laughter allows us to be more spontaneos, let go of defensiveness and express our true feelings. Moreover, humour is a key to success at work. If you ara a manager or an employee, you'll enjoy more your job: people will have a good time working with you, it helps creative thinking and build trust, it boosts morale plus allows your company to stand out.

"A day without laughter is a day wasted"

Teens Dream Contest

This year, Laia Font and I, decided to participate in an international contest where you had to make a video related to the 30 ONU's goals. Why? Because we thought that that was a great opportunity to make our world better and to have a good experience with foreign people, so we decided to make a video about nowadays Christmas issues. In it, we added some solutions we found out to solve these problems, and thanks to that, thanks to our originality, we won the first place of our category. We were, and we still are, very proud of ourselves. We made a good team together using new technology to make a better video and we help what we explained with images, which were done by ourselves too.

One week later after we knew we won, the responsible of the competiton kept in touch with us to told us we would win 100$ and we could go to Washington five days to go in a winners' gala. These news made us happier! We couldn't believe what was happening.

This weekend, to speak with Linda (the responsible of the competition) and to get more information of what we are going to do once in the capital of the USA, we tried to skype with her, but unfortunately my Skype didn't work. Hopefully, my English teacher helped me to contact with her. It was such an exciting experience to talk with a native american!

Correction class composition

Dear mum and dad,

It's so great being here but at the beginning is hard to make friends. In Dublin all the people speak very quickly in English and is difficult to understand it and also communicat with them.

In the first class of the course they showed me how the classes are going to work, The content of the subjects is easy to learn but the point is to get what the teacher was saying. The classmates are very friendly so I really get along with them and in every afternoon they make me a tour around the city visiting the most important buildings and bars of the city.

The family I'm staying with are very polite and kind. They always ask me what I need or want and give it to me. They live in a beautiful street where all the houses look the same: white and big. They get up very early, even at the weekends, and I'm getting used to their schedule to have dinner at six o'clock. Morever, I thought they ate healty, but I was wrong. All they eat is pizza, hamburgers, sausages, chips and rarely any salad.

But that has also advantages, for instance, learning new ways to live and a new culture. The worst thing about being here is that I'm so far away from you and my old friends. I hope that you are all good.

Love,

Mar.

THE BEST HOLIDAYS I'VE EVER HAD

My family and I had never travelled abroad before, and this summer, in July, we finally dedided to visit some greece islands by cruise. Unfortunately, we had to take a flight from Barcelona to Italy because the cruise started there. We went to Myconos, Santorini, Corfú and Atenas. They had a beautiful beaches with white sand plus the most cristal water I've ever seen. They were so crowded, though. The best of all was the stay in the cruise. The bedrooms were so elegant, the food was delicious and I really got along with the Indian waiters who were working in the restaurants and bars.

WONDER

"Wonder" is a shocking story of one little boy who has a facial deformity and what happened with him when he starts school for the first time. It's a great movie to watch with the kids between five and twelve, who are at this stage in their development when it's very important to make them learn the life's values. Also is recommendable to people of all kind of ages, because is one of the best moving films it has ever made.

Auggust, nicknamed Auggie, is a boy who was born different than the others: he had a facial deformity which didn't let him breath, speak and listen neither. Because of that, he has had several surggeries to make these thing work well and he has been homeschooled too, since now. Now that he's 10, his parents decide to take him to school. It's time to do what ordinary kids do. But, unfortunately, he's so shy and he doesn't want the other kids see his "ugly" face. What will happen on the Auggie's first day of school? Will he be bullyied or respected?

The best part of this film is how Auggie make his classmates feel about the way he is or he looks. Along the film, all the characters change their way to treat the others. They become better than they were at the beginning.

The worst part of the film is that there aren't any special effects and that the Auggies's actor face could be more real, because in the book they described his look more deformed than the movie. Also, in the book, the writer tell us a lot of Summer's personality and in "Wonder" we don't even know where she came.

Despite of what I said before, the film is full of enjoyable and lovely moments, and sometimes sad ones too, but it's how the life works, so I recommend you to watch this incredible, worth seeing and brilliant film, that will make you think of the way you have been treating the others.

MY PERSONALITY

ISFJs are quiet, observant, and thoughtful. They are interested in maintaining order and harmony, avoiding fast-moving cars, and respecting everyone's feelings. They are often described by the few people who know them deeply as being incredibly sensitive and trustworthy.

3 careers for me:

-Insurance Policy Processing Clerks.
-Word Processors and Typists.
-File Clerks.

MY INTELLIGENCES

DO YOU AGREE?

I think these results are not very accurate, considering that I have a super intrapersonal intelligence and I only filled 63 per cent of the bar. However, the Bodily-Kinesthetic is the bar more filled but it isn't, according to how I am, my best intelligence. I'm also a very naturalistic person who loves wander into the woods and take care of insects and plants, but the Naturalistic bar filled 42%. I agree with the other intelligences like Linguistic, Visual-Spatial and Interpersonal percentage.

MY HEROS

I can' tell I have only a single hero because that would be a lie. There are a lot of people that influences me in a good way in my daily life. That depends on what situation I have to face and on what attitudes do my friends or family have to help me.

For example, one of my best friends, Laia, is one of the most friendly and charming persons I've never met. She's always very kind to everyone and she has a lot of friends too. Sometimes I can even get jealous of her!

Cels is the craziest boy in the world. I love to spend time with him. Together, doing our crazy jokes, is impossible to stop us. Although is very wierd to think, he's also very polite. If I had to go, for instance, in an important restaurant with somebody I would clearly take Cels with me.

So often, when I have problems or I have to tell a secret to somebody, I always count on Àlex and Lise. They give me the best advices and they want the best for me. During these years, they have demostrated they are trustworthy, honest and, above all, loyal persons.

There also other friends that can help daily with my studies. For examle, Mireia is for me a good influence that encourges me to have good marks, because she's really hard-working.

Júlia is also a fantastic student but when I think of her, I think of her self-confident which helps me to improve my self-esteem.

Last but not least, there's my sister Teia. She's obviously one of the most important persons in my life. Sincerely, she rarely helps me when I need her but involuntarily her cheerful character makes me happy and proud of myself to have her as my sister.

MY BUCKET LIST

SOYLENT: PROS AND CONS

Nowadays, instead of fast und unhealthy food or bad diet, there is in the market a new product which is a drink that contains the necessary vitamins and energy for us.

On one hand, it's an affordable drink which is easy to fine in almost all the supermarkets and, even when you can't get it, you can get the formula to make the drink. It's also very nourishing and healthy with the enough nutrients that our body needs to do its functions. For people who is not good at cooking at all, this is their perfect daily meal. Soylent is an easy way to prepare something simple with less time when you're late, for example, at work or school in the morning.

On the other hand, the ingridients that you put in Soylent are chemicals and not fresh. Moreover, for people who love eating (chewing) they won't like this product because they will get bored.

My conclusion is that Soylent is a good meal because it's faster than other food and when you don't have time you can drink it in a second, but when you have enough time to cook is better that you eat natural and fresh food to combine both things because is not healthy to eat always the same.
