Pixar short films

Hello! Now I want to talk about the Pixar short films.
I love Pixar and the works that makes. Since I was three years old I watch all his movies (like Toy Story, for example). Especially I like his short films, because in only 5 minutes more or less, Pixar can explain a nice story.
I have seen a lot of Pixar short films, but my favourite is the next video:

This video leaves me without words. It's happy, but at the same time is really sad. I like the way it is make. I like the Geri's character because is nice, he have optimism, and I think he's happy with the things which has got.
This video gives me melancholy, and I don't know why...

One Song

MILOW - The ride

If I had a way to get out of this day / Si tingués una manera de sortir d'aquest dia
If I had a way I'd get out today / Si tingués una manera de poder sortir avui
Man, I would run away, man, I would run / Home, me n'aniria lluny, home, me n'aniria
'Cause these walls block out the sun / Perquè aquestes parets tapen el sol
Yeah they block out the sun / Sí, elles tapen el sol.

Today I've got nothing to lose / Avui no tinc res a perdre
I could go wherever I wanted to / Podria anar on vulgués
Leave, jump onto the world / Marxar, saltar al món


If I had a way to get out of this deal / Si tingués una manera de sortir d'aquest acord
If I had a way I'd break the deal / Si tingués una manera de poder trencar l'acord
I'm gonna grab the wheel, and man, I will drive / Agafaria la roda, i home, conduiria
5000 miles just to survive, 5000 miles / 5000 milles només per sobreviure, 5000 milles

Today I've got nothing to lose / Avui no tinc res a perdre
I could go wherever I wanted to / Podria anar on vulgués
Leave, jump onto the world / Marxar, saltar al món
As it's spinning 'round, going down / Com està girant al voltant, baixant
Taking me along for the ride / Portant-me endavant pel viatge
For the ride / Pel viatge


If I had a way I'd get out today / Si tingués una manera de sortir d'aquest dia
Man, I would run away / Home, me n'aniria lluny

More about me!

Hello!
I think to talk about my routine can be a little bored for me... But when I see the pictures I do in the high school, the routine become a good game.
Sometimes I take away my movile phone and I make some photos with my friends.
By the way, look at my movile phone:


Yes, I love it! :D
It's equipped with the functions similar to those of a digital camera 5 megapixels, I can enjoy the most of his view. Thanks to the great image which capture I can see my images more clear at a speed of 120 frames per second... Viewty LG!(stop publicity! Ha ha!)

Well, what I was saying is that leaving aside the homework, work and examinations, our high school can be good, and it can have nice experiences in our lifes!
Look at this video, I think it describes what I want to say:




Good luck,

The Grease Musical

This year we will do the Grease Musical in our highschool. I think it won't gives us time to have it finished, but in the trials we have funny moments.
Our musical is a set of dialogues in catalan and songs in english. We'll have to dance a lot! Danny, the protagonist, is played by Oriol. Sandy is Clara. And they, with the Pink Ladies (who are Maria, Mireia, Cristina and me) and with the boys, will interpret this magic play.
But sing songs from Grease is very difficult, besides dancing at once. We still need to try learn the lyrics much more for get a good result. Is really funny dance with all my friends this type of music. Sometimes I stay in the breakfast time in the music class for assay the dance steps and the lyrics.

Last term we made a sung for Christmas, which went very well. I hope this musical, which will be made at the final of the course, go well or better than the spectacle of Christmas. But we still have to choose the costumes, we have to organize better and learn the dialogues.

But regardless of that, I wish with all my strength that it be a magic musical! And I can't wait to start rehearsals at the Village Hall!

My dog: Piga

Piga is my nice dog. She is a boxer, and she have 12 years old. For her breed, she is very old. But Piga seems a puppy because her hapiness is huge!
Let's talk about her name. Her name is Piga, freckle in english, because she has a white spot in her neck. My parents bought Piga in a Pet Shop when I had 3 years old, so I had Piga most of my life.

In Easter, Piga comes every year with my family and me in Queralbs, a little town in the mountain. I think these days are the most happy days for Piga. She seems a deer in the forest!
She is very friendly and nice. Now she has gray hair in his face, like an old person! And she don't barks, not fight and she is very obedient. The only drawback is that she is a dog, so she can't speaks! Ha ha!

That's it:She is Piga, my great and nice dog!

My guitar :)

I want to talk about my guitar and what symbolizes for me. I have a classic guitar since two or three years ago. I started to do guitar classes immediately, but I knew something before of start to do classes. This is thanks to my aunt Meme. She started to teach me and now we can play the guitar together.
I love play the guitar, and specially the electric guitar. When I have money, I'll buy one of them!
But now I'm satisfied with my sweet little guitar. This is it:I love sing songs of my favourite bands, and sometimes I have invented love or sad songs. This is really relaxing!

See you!
Marta.


PD: Luciano gave me a PICK! :D

VENICE!

Last 7th, 8th and 9th of January of this year I went to Venice with my parents and my sister. It was an incredible experience because I saw a lot of important and wonderful places.

First, we arrived there with a vaporetto. I think this type of boat is very strange, but is really cool! We started to look for our hotel (we got lost!) and then we visited each of the beautiful places of Venice.
Look at this photos! They are some places that we visited:

















This is in Piazza di San Marco. This place is WONDERFUL!!

This is in Rialto's Bridge. I love this bridge.

The second day, while we were visiting the Piazza di San Marco, one old man approached to us and gave four tickets for travel free to Murano, the crystal island. Surprised, we take the tickets and went there! We saw the glass factory, the workers molding the glass, and a lot of different shapes and colors of glass. What a nice experience!

This is the glass factory of Murano. We have been there!

The last day, we went to Burano, a wonderful island which his houses are painted with different colors! I ate there the best lasagne of the world, I think! :D
Look at the houses, they are incredible:


After that, we returned to Venice, and we took a gondola. It was very funny!
















So, when we returned to Spain, I thought these holidays were perfect. And I was right!

Carnival~

I went to some carnivals this year. I went to Roses, Sant Pere, Empuriabrava, Castelló and Fortià. All these days were BRILLIANT!
Come on, I will explain more or less my greats Carnivals with my friends.
Our costumes were of Little Red Riding Hood. These costumers had a red hood very funny. The party consisted in to follow a route for the town with the floats and music, and get to the dance room.
Here are three cool photos:






Here I was with my lovely friend Lydia

Here I was with my friends Luciano and Moha. The boys had to dress the hunter's clothing who kills wolf in the story of Little Red Riding Hood.

It was great!

Best wishes,
Marta :)

Why is Shakespeare so famous?

1. Shakespeare's life

Sheakespeare was born in 26th April 1564, in Stratford, England.

William Shakespeare was born of John Shakespeare, a glover and leather merchant, and Mary Arden, a landed local heiress. William was the third of eight children in the Shakespeare household—three of whom died in childhood. John Shakespeare was a merchant, alderman, and high bailiff of Stratford, during William's early childhood. His fortunes declined in 1570.

At the age of 18, Shakespeare married the 26-year-old Anne Hathaway.

Shakespeare had one son and two twins. Finally, he was 52 years old when he died.

2. Shakespeare's time

In Shakespeare's life the Queen was Elisabeth I.

A great rival of England during this time was Spain. This country attacked England with the Spanish Armada of Philip II, in 1588.
The Elisabethan era was described as golden because it was the period of the start of the english poetry, theatre, literature and music.

3. Shakespeare's career
Shakespeare wrote 38 plays and 6 poems. One comedy: A Midsummer Night's Dream (Somni d'una nit d'estiu in Catalan). One tragedy: King Lear (El Rei Lear in Catalan). One poem: The Passionate Pilgrim (L'apassionat peregrí in Catalan).
The Globe was Shakespeare's theatre. His location is in London.

It's here:



In the Globe are performed the play Kings & Rogues (23th April - 3th October 2010). The first built of the Globe was in 1598. Shakespeare worked there since 1599 to 1613.
The name of this theatre company was Lord Chamberlain's Men. In 1644, the thatre was closed, but Peter Street, a Master Carpenter of the City of London, built the Globe again in 1997.


4. Fame

A lot of Shakespeare words of our vocabulary are used today around the world. Shakespeare is a big influence in our culture!
There is a one phrase very important in play Hamlet: "To be or not to be. That is the question". this is a known phrase.
Another famous word invented by Shakespeare:
- A rose can have any name. It always smells sweet.
(Una rosa puede tener todos los nombres. Ésta siempre huele dulce.)

- If you don't remember the most light madness in which the love made you fall down, you have not loved.
(Si no recuerdas la más ligera locura en que el amor te hizo caer, no has amado.)

- This is better to be a king of your silence that slave of your words.
(Es mejor ser rey de tu silencio que esclavo de tus palabras.)

5. Curiosities

Miguel de Cervantes died during the same day in which Shakespeare did it.
Curiously Shakespeare tape-worm a nick, they were calling him a Bard of Avon.
Approximately 2000 movies of Shakespeare have been adapted.
