* 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
