*Into The Wild:

I think that Into The Wild is a very intersting story, in wich Christopher McCandless, the leaning actor, decides to leave his privileged life and get lost into the Alaskan bush. What I really like about it, it’s that his story, is told from his sister’s view, althought sometimes some other people thoughts appear.

Christopher McCandless, perceives his rich family and generally, all the people he meet, as materialistic; as he doesn’t want to be one of them, he decides to live a adventurous life, based on some famous philosopher books like Tolstoi’s ones. He destroys all his credit cards and donates all his money to a asociation called Oxfam, and after some extreme adventures, he decides finally to live alone in the land of Alaska. To obtain this purpose, he leaves his car and hitchhikes. Along the way, he meet a lot of different kind of people, some of them unconventional, as a group of hippies, a farm owner, or a lonely worker who offers him to be his grandson.

After a long way, he arrives to the Alaskan land, where affortunately, he finds an old bus in wich he can live during his adventure. As McCandless is enjoying his stay, starts to write a book of his experiences.

When the spring arrives, he decides to start eating plants, because he has a book about edible plants from wich he can know which ones are edible and which ones poisonous. Unconsciusly, he confuses an edible plant with a poisonous kind, wich affects his digestive system forcing him from starve to death.

Finally, he dies suffering a painful demise, how he write on his autobiography book, in great detail.

Although the ending of the movie is tragic, I enjoyed so much seeing this film, overall because it’s a real story, and I love them, because they make me think a lot...

* My worst experience in a restaurant..

I was 14 years old when this happened. My parents and I, were going to Santander on holiday for five days. In the way by car, we decided to have a break and eat something for lunch in a restaurant near the motorway. I have never liked those types of restaurants, but this time, I was so hungry, that I agreed.

When the waiter came, gave us the menu and after five minutes, he came again to ask us what we wanted to eat. I decided to order some pasta, because I have always liked a lot spaghetti. We were talking about what we could do when we arrive to the hotel, when the waiter finally came with the food on a tray. I started to eat my spaghetti plate, and they taste great, until I realised that there was a died mosquito in it. I was so surprised, that I didn't know what to do, I had never found myself in a situation like that. After some time, I said "Oh my God, there is a died mosquito in my plate! ", I could not believe it. My parents stopped eating, and stared at my half eaten spaghetti plate very surprised.

After that, i decided to call to the waiter and told him what had happened. He was really sorry about it, so he asked me if I wanted another portion of spaghetti, but like you can suppose, I didn’t feel like eating more spaghetti, because after that, my stomach was closed.

Finally, when my parents finished their lunch, I decided to order a chocolate cake dessert, and fortunately, I didn’t find any strange insect in it! :P

Although I love to go to restaurants and have a lunch or a dinner with my friends or my family, I have never feel like that day anymore.. Thank goodness! =)

*My favourite movie..

One of the things that I love is going to the cinema. When I was little, I used to go to the cinema with my brother and parents nearly every Sunday, because we enjoyed a lot seeing movies and being all together. So much so that my father and I decided to do a cinema tickets collection that we still keep hanging on, and there, we have movies like “Billy Elliot” or “The planet of the Apes” which we saw on 2001, when I was only ten years old. Nowadays, we don’t go to the cinema so often as those days, but we still go there when we want to have a good time in family.

So, at the time of deciding which was my favourite movie, I have had some doubts, because there are a lot of films that I like a lot, and I didn’t know what of those movies choose. But finally, I decided to elect the one called “Billy Elliot”.The other day, when I was thinking about my favourite movie, I forgot completelly this fantastic film. But now, when I have looked up on my cinema tickets collection to see which was one of the first movies that I saw, I realise how beautiful is this film and how much I liked it the first time I saw it.

“Billy Elliot” is a Brittish comedy-drama film, in wich an 11 year old schoolboy wants to be a ballet dancer, but unfortunately, his father and older brother, who are miners, are not agree with that, because they prefer to see his little son and brother on a boxing ring instead of dancing. This movie rolls back to the 1984, when the UK miners strike happened. When Billy misses a important audition because his older brother get arrested, his ballet teacher decides to go to talk with his father. Once his father see him dancing, he realises that it’s his real passion, and finally he takes him to an audition in London himself. Billy is accepted on a dancing school, and in the final images of the movie, appear a older Billy dancing as a professional.

The biggest reason of liking a lot this movie, is because it has a message on it and it transmits you something special, in this case the message is something like “if you really want something, if it’s your dream, you have to work on it so hard and be very tough. It doesn’t matter who tries to upset you or who is against you, because if it is what you really want, you can always get it and make your dream become true.”

Although the actors and actresses that appear on the movie are not very known, it doesn’t matter so much if the movie is beautiful and well-done, as happens in this case. The leading actors of the film are the followings: Billy (Jamie Bell), his father Jackie (Gary Lewis), and older brother, Tony (Jamie Draven), and the ballet teacher Julie Walters as Mrs. Wilkinson.

The final moment of the movie is very emotive, when you see that Billy finally has achieved his purpose, his dream. And you realise that his father and older brother are so proud of him too.

* My advert..

The other day, I was looking for an advert in youtube to put it on my blog, I was looking for a funny one. When I saw this, I realised that this was the one I was looking for. Mostly, because it's different from the tipical commertials, apart of being pretty funny, here appear cartoon characters instead of human ones, what I really like.

Also this advert reminds me of a movie that i like a lot, called "Madagascar". I think that the creators of this ad, have used this strategy as a way of identification, I mean, if someone see this commertial will directly asociate it with the film and the same will happen the other way round.

I specially like the final moment of the advert, when the penguin says "Well, this is a bad idea..", because I think that when you are watching the TV, and more in the commertials case, you only catch the funniest moment of the advert, and this sentence is easy-reminding, so you can also comment it with your friends or familiars.

To finish, I have to admit that the biggest reason of choosing this advert, have been the penguins.. I love themm! :P

*Maya:

I love animals since I was little and I always wanted to have a dog. My parents were not sure, because they never had had any pet at home and they didn’t know very well how to take care of them.

One day, a Mexican couple came into my parents shop with two old Dalmatian dogs and two puppies, Maya and her brother. They were desperate because they were moving to New York the next day early and they only wanted to carry the little male dog and his parents. The couple asked my father if he wanted to have a dog, and my father looked at Maya and agreed.


I don’t really know what happened after that, I only remember that I arrived home like any other day from school and found my brother and parents around Maya; I couldn’t believe it, I was very excited.
I was ten years old when this happened, and I remember it very clearly, I hope not to forget this day never anyway.


Now that I am sixteen years old and Maya seven, I think that she is the best dog we can have, she is obedient, calm, and very affectionate. There are two things she specially likes a lot: to go to the beach and to sunbathe. When I am surfing, because I usually bring her with me when I go to the beach, Maya always stays in the sea shore waiting for me, and one day, I discovered that she knows who I am when I am surfing, because she stays looking at me and when I get closer to the sea shore, if there are small waves, she starts swimming towards me so exited. In the other hand, she loves sunbathing, and it’s so funny to see her doing this, because at midday, after lunch, she starts looking for a sunny place all over the house and when she finds it, she lies down, and stays there for a long time.. (pic.: Maya waiting..)


I think we are so lucky having a dog like her, because dogs, like humans, are all different… but she is the perfect one for us! :)
