Barcelona

Next year I will move to Barcelona because of my studies. I want to enter in Pompeu Fabra University and, probably, study Humanities. Cristina and Nuria Sala will come with me probably.

I want to live with them :)

My family now has a flat in Barcelona that will be my home when I will be there. Is in Aribau street, in eight minutes you can be in Passeig de Gràcia. That's so great!

But there's a joke that everybody do to me: Ohhhh! Your name is Andrea and you live in Aribau street, like the Andrea of Nada written by Carmen Laforet (a novel we have to read this year).

I will know a lot of persons, I know, but I expect not to lose my friends of now (that's a thing that worries me a lot!). Lydia, for example, she will probably study in Germany! That's so far!

Another example: a lot of people will go to study in Girona, different careers or different universities into Barcelona... And we will probably get separated.

Well, I expect this not to happend =')

HOW IS BARCELONA TO ME?

Barcelona is a warm and cold city; I explain my words:

Barcelona is warm because is a Catalan city and I know her. In summer, the weather is very hot (too much in many occasions). In summer I feel more the pollution of Barcelona, and I don't like it!

Barcelona has a lot of shops, supermarkets, stars of the (like the Barça's player Gerard Piqué).

People are kind and nice, comfortable persons. Because of that I think I will be O.K. In Barcelona.

Barcelona is cold because in winter the weather is cold and dry. But not only for this: Barcelona is cold because there's many people, and you are only another insignificant person and you feel like a little ant. Yes, you do: a little ant in the big city.

The 2011 Local Elections

After suffering a unefficient governament formed in the last local elections of 2007 by three different parties plus a turned coat, the town hold of Castelló d'Empúries and Empuriabrava has gone through a very bad time. The bad management plus the crisis has cost a very big debt in the municipal coffers.

So last Sunday there was voting day for all the citiziens of Castelló and Empuriabrava. For four years Empuriabrava had been going down and down until coming a terrible place of degradation, to such extreme that when tourists came to Empuriabrava they didn't want to stay very long. The level of crime has also increased and we have nothing to offer the tourists except sun and beach.

Empuriabrava is in state of abandon and this last council has done nothing to change it, so many people want out to vote to change this situation. Seven parties were presented to the citizens to be voted:

ERC, UDEM, CiU, Entesa, SI, IPM, PP.

CiU won with the majority of votes (1083) and 7 councillors and the second it was UDEM

wich was the first time to go into the elections and was the only party to fight for Empuria

brava. They got 3 councillors and a total of 461 votes

. The third was the social party (IPM) with a total of 360 votes and two councillors, this party had made a mistake by changing the letters of PSC to IPM and confused many old voters. The fourth were ERC which was the party of the all mare. They had 345 votes and two councillors.

I think people punished him having mixed with different losing parties with different ideas

which didn't work.

PP was the fifth party with 275 votes and one councillor. The next to Entesa and SI only got 170 votes each.

Now we have to wait for the most voted parties to talk to each

other to form a coalition governament.

Dr. House

House M.D. is a series which talks about a odd doctor that Works in a private hospital. Doctor House is a very famous series, but I discovered it last month! Reaqlly curious, isn’t it?

Well, now the series is on its seventh season, but I’m holding on not to watch it. I want to see it from the beginning to the end.

Each chapter of the series is about a different medical case.

Now I’m going to describe the main character of the series:

Dr. Gregory House: He is a very abrupt person but he has a good person inside him.

He is veeeery ironic with everybody. He is addicted to his painkillers because of the pain of his bad leg (atrophied muscle; that’s the reason why he always carries a stick).

Dr. Cameron: She is a young woman doctor that falls in love with House. She is very intelligent and is one of the work team of House.

Dr. Foreman: He is a black man that works with Dr. House (in his work team). He is a doctor too, for first he was always thinking of complying with the rules, but slowly he turns thinking of what is better to the patients (complying with House’s rules).

Dr. Chase: He is the handsome boy in the series (for me; House too! ;) ). He is a little selfish, impolite and takes advantage of things in secret. He is a good boy, I know, this impolite and traitor character is only for some chapter in the first and second season.

Cuddy: She is a doctor too, but she has long been the hospital director. She is a goo

d person and is always taking care of House. She knows he is a excellent doctor and she need him. She is always worried about his addiction.

Dr. Wilson: He is the oncologist of the hospital. He is Dr. House’s best friend, because of that, he has a lot of problems hahaha, poor Wilson...

Stacy: She appears only in the second season (for what I’ve seen). She is a lawyer and, when she appears again with her ill husband (not House, another), and her husband recovers (well he reminds paralyzed), she asks to be the hospital lawyer (this hospital lawyer; arrrrrgh, what a prig woman!)

My favourites:

I love all the characters but Doctor House is my favourite. He and Chase are the handsome men (juju).

There’s only one character I hate: STACY (What an irritating woman!).

Xavi of FCB

Xavier Hernández i Creus was (born in 25th January of 1980 in Terrassa, Barcelona, Catalonia), more commonly known as simply Xavi, is a Spanish footballer who plays as a central midfielder for La Liga club FC Barcelona, where he has spent his entire 13-year career.

Xavi was named the official Man of the match of the 2009 Champions League Final as he helped Barcelona defeat Manchester United to win their third Champions League title. He has been capped 101 times for the Spanish national team, with whom he won UEFA Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup. He was named Player of the Tournament by UEFA at UEFA Euro 2008. He had won the 2010 World Cup with the Spanish Squad (or La Sel

ección/La roja).

Xavi is considered to be one of the best midfielders in the world.

I love this footballer! I really like him! I love the way he plays and how he cheats the opposited players with the ball and... wow, he makes magic!

Xavi is a very honest person, and I think he looks close to people, very simple, very transparent. He doesn't like the celebrity world or ay roll like this. He only wants to do his job the best he can. I admire persons like him.

Barça is my football team, the one which I belong forever! Since I was a child, I love this team. I asked for the Barça clothes for Christmas when I was eight =') I still have this costume in my wardrobe.

Books!

I will like to talk about one series of books that I like very much. They are the Mortal Instruments (Cazadores de Sombras in Spanish). The Mortal Instruments is a series of four novels by author Cassandra Clare including City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass and City of Fallen Angels.

I like these books a lot because... I like it! haha No, seriously: I like these books because they are well written and they have a very interesting fantastic facts.

The main characters are:

Clary Fray: also called Clarissa, is the main protagonist of the series. A 16-year-old Shadowhunter who was brought up as human by her mother for protection. She is a little over 5 feet tall and has wavy red hair. She is an artist, and is in love with Jace Wayland, even though for much of the series they believe they are siblings. Much of the series is focused on Clary's quest to help her mother while adjusting to her new life as a Shadowhunter. She has the ability to create new runes after being experimented on by her father who put angel blood in her syste

m.

Jace Wayland: also called Jonathan

Christopher, and in the end Jace Lightwood, is another major character in the series. An orphaned Shadowhunter who lives with the Lightwoods at the Institute in New York City. He is said to be the best Shadowhunter of his age, having been trained severely by his father prior to his death.

He is described as having wavy golden hair, eyes (which only look golden in the light), and skin, as well as having scars all over his body from countless fights. He has a peculiar star-shaped scar on his shoulder, which is revealed later in the series as a marker of

having direct contact with an angel, and also as an indication that he was part of the Herondale bloodline. Clary describes him as having an angular face(high cheeckbones, a big jaw, and a flat chin), she also says it is that of an angel.

Simon Lewis: is Clary's formerly-human, vampire best friend, who has been in love with her for several years. In City of Ashes, he is stabbed in the throat by Valentine, which is very nearly the cause of his death; however, he is saved by Jace soon after, who allows Simon to drink his blood and heal. After that event, because of the components of Jace's blood, he is able to be in direct sunlight without any damage. Because of this, he is called a "Daylighter". Simon is described as having dark hair with a crude haircut, pretty brown eyes, and crooked glasses. His physical looks are improved when he becomes a vampire, and his skin becomes paler and his eyes blacker, as well as losing the necessity of glasses. He has a witty, sarcastic sense of humor, as well as being eclectic because of his obsession with video games and his ever-shifting band.


Valentine Morgenstern: the books' main antagonist. A powerful and evil Shadowhunter. He turns up after several years when he was supposedly dead and attempts to steal the Mortal Cup from Jocelyn. He is also the real father of both Sebastian and Clary, and experimented on both of them, as well as Jace. Consumed by the belief that he must purify the Shadowhunter race and convinced of the righteousness of his cause, there is nothing he will not do to eradicate the earth of Downworlders. Joining forces with the demons, he has his son Jonathan, who is half demon and half shadow-hunter, destroy the defenses surrounding Alicante, which then allows his demon army to attack Alicante. In the end, when he kills his "son", Jace, he is in turn killed by the angel Raziel in compensation for his selfish deeds.

My favourite characters are Cary and Jace, of course! haha I love them! When I thought that Clary and Jace were silblings I almost fainted.

Coldplay is my favourite music band and I will like to see them in a concert. I love all their songs, they are so good!

Fix you is one of my favourite songs. I learn to play it by piano and sing it at the same time as well =)

This is Fix you with its lyrics! It is nice!
