What music means to me

Music is, sometimes, the way I can express myself. I can say something with notes when I'm sad, or happy, or melancholic... Music usually is my life and other times is my way to escape from the world.

My hobby with music starts a long time ago, when I listen to Sara, my big sister playing the piano and I get surprised about how wonderful it was. I said to my mother: "Mum, please, I want you to let me prove the piano". My mum smiled and I feel alright. One year after I started my piano classes =) I was nine.

Since that day, music, the piano, even the guitar (wich I just play from two years ago), fascinated me a lot. Sometimes music seems to get to eat my world. There are summer days when the sun is about to hide, specks of dust are trying to fly around of me and the light looks so beautiful, I completely lose track of time and I can play the piano until someone stops me. Music is something that allows me the luxury of never feel alone. I have never felt alone playing the piano. I can sense melancholy, missed ... but never alone.

It's different to explain what I feel abut music, but I will try to do it.

When I learned to play well and I could hear beautiful sounds that I was making it made me feel so great.. For exemple, if I where in a field and nobody else was near obviously I should feel alone but, if in this moment a ray o light warm my face, something had to change. In that moment one thing is sure: I would feel better, not so alone, and I will start to look around me and then realize how beautiful the field is and as the light is decorating everything…

I will begin to see a lot of beauty where there was none before. Music is something similar to me. Find beauty where many doesn’t see it, and makes me feel in company.

I love classic music, a lot. I feel something special not like with techno music, for example, and many types of music like this. They don't make me feel this kind of feelings. That's why they are different types of music! =D

But, anyway, I love actually music too. It's true that I don't like techno music a lot, but I like acustic music and piano-voice music, piano-violin-voice-music.... I love all music (except “reggaeton” puaj!).

Now I want to start playing the violin but I don’t have time. I wanna do this tag longer but I don’t have time or space to put all my feelings towards music.

I expect that this little introduction is something clear to understand a piece of my world now. I opened a door to my mind in this tag, I hope you to see it ;)

My hobby

One of my hobbies is to go to the movies. I go every Friday and on Friday if I can not go on Saturday. Whatever happens, every week I go to my appointment with the screen. Always accompanied by the same people, which can then be added to anyone. Those two people are my mother and my little sister, Miriam. This hobby always we do not remember my life without a movie almost every day, or a series, some of film culture.

At first we were all the family who were going to the cinema, but then my father

began to take a bar at night and could not come. We keep going everyone, including my aunt Mariana, who also loves movies. But now she has a boyfriend and went to the cinema with him and my other sister, Sara, studies and lives in Barcelona, but is sometimes on weekends and comes with us. I have seen many movies, and even my interest has gone beyond go to the cinema. My family collects lots of movies at home, I have a lot of movie towers next to the home cinema. Prior also had an interesting hobby that I maintain: collect entries from all the movies I've seen at the cinema. But once I lost everything and had to start from zero. That was something that made me sad, because tha material inputs were also collected memories.

As usual, the workers of the Roses movie (which is where I usually go) always know us and greet us all. My desire to be a film director came to this hobby, I still like to be that but I think it would be very hard to achieve something in this world.

Change 4th of ESO for 1rst of Batxillerat

When I was in 4th of ESO I thought that it was difficult but now I see that it isn't true. In Batxillerat I have to study a lot more and usually you don't see the benefit yet. There's a lot of work to do, and EXAMS :S

When I was doing 4th of ESO I could often meet my friends, but now I feel that I can't waste any time. Before I could do a lot of extra activities but now I can only do rowing, guitar and piano. I would like to do more things like painting, learn to play the violin, learn italian, go to cookery classes, go swimming, etc. And above of all I would like to write my own histories with time to relax me and stay home with my family.

But inspited of this I still go to the cinema with my family every Friday like always.

When I was in 4th of ESO I hated maths and now I'm still doing it, but I've improved. But I still find it difficult!!!

Now I think that my favourite subjects are Company Organitation and Literature.

Trip to Germany =)

On the 9 of June wich is my birthday I had a big surprise! I was given a special present: A TRIP TO GERMANY!!!

At the school breaktime I was with my friends talking about summer when Lydia appeared. She is one of my best friends and she had already told me that she was going to give me something special. I was very excited when I saw her smiling. She gave me a postcard while a friend taxed us and Lydia said: Open it!

At first I thought "It's a joke? Where's my present?", but when I opened it I saw that inside the envelope there was a plane ticket to Frankfurt!!!

The flight was for the following day from Girona! :O And it lasted three days.

It was living at eight o'clock in the morning so I went to my house after school and I packed my bag. I couldn't sleep that night so I was tired in the morning. Although I couldn't sleep in the flight because I was very nervious. When the plane landed we took a bus to Frankfurt city. It was the first day and we started to be very energetic and we walked around the city because we wanted to see as much as we could because we were only staying in Frankfurt one day.

Strangely the weather was very hot (34 Cº)!!! I was very surprise because I thought that Germany was a very cold country.

In the afternoon we took a train and it was horrible! While we were waiting for the train to leave there wasn't any air conditioning and it was very hot. The train left us in Wetzlar, Lydia's small town.

The second day we visited Wetzlar and we had to go to Lydia's doctor to renew her identity card. It was so embarrased because he was a baby doctor and the whole surgery was plenty of babies. I had to wait alone there with German books for small German children.

Finally on the third day we went to see what was left of Wetzlar and we came back at night. First by train, then by bus, then by plane, and finally by car. It was a fantastic trip and I will never forget it! =)

Rowing

It's difficult to explain what I think about rowing (or what I feel). I love go to the sea when it's sunny and when it's cloudy, provided that I'm with my friends and we can row.

When I'm rowing my mind is concentrated, I can even think of anything, or I can be thinking about how to rowing stronger, how to breath properly or how to stick my oar in the water... It's a good expirience that I love to practice every training. I never get bored about rowing.

There are some days that we can't go to the sea to go rowing, so we have to go to the canals. I hate go rowing in the canals, but I like the landscape. When the weather is very bad we have to do physical traning. Sometimes it doesn't like to me, but I also do it. But other times it don't care, and I almost like. In fact, I love rowing when I'm in the sea, the canals or doing ergometer. You can feel relax when you are rowing, for example, when you are traning the right of resistance and you have to be concentrated, when you are just having a boat little walk or when you are making a break and thinking about what you need to improve. But most of the time you are discharging anger, hitting the oar with all your strength or thinking when you win and what you have done makes sense.


But I think that rowing isn't be all the time training without nothing else. My team, my friends and, sometimes, my family. That's what it is. A way to life, a way to feel.

I love it, it makes me smile.

Cristina

Today I will talk about Cristina. Her complete name is Cristina Malirach Reitg. She is my classmate and she is sitting next to me now. We were best friends in primary but when we started the High school we separated from each other. We meet again in rowing last year and with other girls we made a team. We retake our friendship. Now, we are in the same class and she sits next to me. This picture show the moment we were starting to retake our friendship stronger: our 4th of ESO trip to Italy. We stay all the day together.

Now we are best friends again. We agreed to go every Friday at Roses' swimming pool. Last Friday we go for first time and I liked this a lot! We go to the pool, jacuzzi, sauna... Then we go to eat something to a bar next to Roses' cinema and finally we go to see "Los ojos de Julia" at the cinema.

Cristina is a very nice person, she never is sad, she is always with a smile in her face. I like her character a lot, we laugh every day because we are so pranksters. But there's more things we have in common. We get good grades and work with our homework, o we always work together. She comes to my house and we take the opportunity to stay together, singing, playing the guitar and singing, watching movies, chatting...

In fact, Cristina and I have taken up exactly the link we had when we were small.
