If my house was burning the first thing that i would take is my Mp4 because i have there all my music, and I like to listen music every moment, I think there’s a song for all circumstances. I would take my pen drive because I have all my last computer, texts, photos, videos, I would not leave my house without it. The third thing is my photo albums because they have very old photos with very old memories that I can’t put in my computer and I couldn’t lose them. Other things are my ballet trips or some CD’s of my favorite singers.  I would take too my box with letters that my friends wrote to me when we were child, my teddy, because I have it since I born and my parents give it to me, and the last, a sachet with quartz stones, because that remember me of a wonderful New year, a wonderful travel.

What if.

They tell us how we should behave, what to do in different situations, it seems like they make our life easier, and sometimes even so, but we can't simply follow orders. Why should i do what everyone would do? And why do I say what everyone would say?
Being different is like Russian roulette, sometimes is rewarded but many times it's punished. If anyone is like another, why do we try to change it? It's hard to be yourself, much easier to simply imitate.
I don't want to follow the lines of anyone, I want a world to write.

The curious case of Benjamin Button.

I've read the book "Benjamin Button" from the writer F. Scott Fitzgerald retold by Virginia Dixon. I have to say that i am a little dissapointed with this book, i hope it's because the editorial or the short version. It's strange but i think i prefer the film, the book is so different but in bad sense.
The story is about a men who borns being an old men and step by step,he's growing older and looking younger. 
There are so many things that change compared with the famous film:
1. The Button "baby" borns knowing how to speak
2. His parents don't leave him in the door of other family
3. The precious love story, disapears. 

The third is the thing that more make me feel disappointed. The film talk about one love who jumps over all the walls that life can put them, in this book this isn't like that: the young women ends up with all and leave Benjamin going to live to Italy. 
The most exiting moment in the film is when, at the end, his wife never leave him, Benjamin dies in the arms of her lover and life partner, she being a ancient and he like a baby but still in love. But this precious end of the strory disapears too in the book and Benjamin dies with a caregiver. 
I don't know how can be possible that two stories that look the same finally are so different, i repeat: i hope it's because i've read a strange version and think that the real book will be better, and i'll can continue loving Benjamin's story.

Murcia.


This summer I’ve gone to Murcia with Sabina and her family, It was a great experience because we spend all the time together. The beach was just by the side of the hotel, so every morning we went to the beach trying to change our white skin. The hotel had a big swimming pool so when we were tired of the sand we went to continue our morning there.  We were near of the minor sea so it was great to go and spend time walking by it.

On afternoons, Sabina’s father took us to wild beaches where we swam with snorkeling equipment to see fishes or corals. We used to play badminton or throwing the “plate” but we weren’t very good players.

One of the four days of the travel we went to ride canoe it was a perfect idea because Sabina and I, went in the same canoe singing some songs or trying to lie down in it. They were a lot of jellyfish swimming by our side; it was a precious show of colors. Finally we returned very tired, sailing between the people of the beach (because it was the shorter way), it was a good day.

On the nights, in the hotel, it was a square where it was always someone singing or putting music, so we go to dance, eat ice cream or sit on the sofas to talk and look funny couples dancing “salsa”. They happened very funny things in our nights on the hotel, I’m going to miss those nights a lot.
It was great to go Murcia, I hope can do next summer a travel like this.

"The intochables" Never give up as lost something without fighting for it before

This summer I've seen the film "The intouchables". I'm in love with it.

It talks about one precious friendship between Philippe, a quadriplegic man with about 50 years, and Driss, his caregiver, an immigrant who is just fresh out of jail. They're completely different but, Driss ends up being one of the only person who makes Philippe smile, one of the only person who makes him feel normal, comfortable, Philippe ends up needing Driss on his life.
Step by Step they go discovering the other, sharing their likes, their joys, their sorrows, all.
I think the fact that makes Philippe love being by the side of Driss is that for one moment he can forget his handicap, Driss treats him like one more in the world, no one special or different, just a person. Driss makes him know that he can be as great as the others, he teaches him to laugh about himself, to see the life with other perspective, to quit value to his disease.

This film shows how strong can be the power who binds two person, the fight for walk the life by the right way and get a normal existence of a quadriplegic man. Shows that you can jump all trhe walls and still smile that for one way or other you'll finally find the happiness, that we musn't give up on anything.
This film hides a precious message, this is: "Never give up as lost something without fighting for it before".

What surprised me most about "The intouchables" is that it's based on a true story. It's even more exciting to know that everything you see on screen have really happened, that somewhere in the world, Philippe and his caregiver are still together, sharing their lives.

This movie awakes in me a feeling of maybe admiration, or maybe it's hope, perhaps is simple happiness. Admiration for the Philippe struggle or the way that Driss can color of a grey world. Hope for all the people that today is in that state, and happy to see that stories that at first seemed sad, can have a happy ending.


The story of Philippe and Driss has traveled the world bringing smiles and tears on a lot of faces, i can't imagine anything more rewarding for a director.

Carry you home.

A precious song from a amazing singer. I hope that like me, you enjoy it. Carry you home by James Blunt.


As strong as you were, tender you go, i'm whatching you breathing for the last time. A song for you heart but when it's quiet i know what it means ans i'll carry you home...
Trouble is her only friend and he's back again, make her body older than it really is...
If she has wings she would fly away, and another day God will give her some...
