A Film Review

A FILM REVIEW: 8 apellidos vascos

The film was directed by Emilio Martínez-Lázaro. It stars Dani Rovira as Rafa and Clara Lago as Amaia.

The film won three Goyas in 2014 for Best Star (Dani Rovira), Supporting actress (Carmen Machi) and Supporting actor (Karra Elejalde).

The film was shot on location in The Basque Country and Seville.

The film is about a seville boy who has never left his village, and meets a beautiful girl who is basque, during the Fair of Seville. The boy falls in love and decides to go to The Basque Country to win her over.  Once there, he will have to pretend to be a Basque boy to gain the trust of the father´s girl.

I strongly recommend 8 apellidos vascos because it is a comedy where you can’t stop laughing, It is really funny. This Novembre will release the sequel: 8 apellidos catalanes

Summer 2015

Last summer was one of the best in my life because I have gone to the Azores. I went with my parents, we spent seven days in the largest island. The beaches are spectacular because the water is crystal clear and are of volcanic rock and what I loved is that they are quiet because there was almost no people. I really had a good time.

Food was tasty, we ate so much fish and they used to put a large amount of food.

In July was my father´s birthday and my mother and me gave him a big surprise: we went to Calpe with a couple of friends and rented two jetskies. It was a great experience to ride the bike in the water and feel the air and the speed. 

Also, my parents let me take a dog for two weekends of the animal shelter where I am a volunteer. The dog was incredible because he was extremely obedient and affectionate.

Moderpran

Moderpran is a beautiful place where dogs, cats and others animals which have been left are collected and cared for workers and volunteers until they find them a home.

I am a volunteer from last March and I usually go on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings. When I go I normally go for a walk with a dog and we are thirty minutes and then I take another. I go for a wallk four or five dogs in one evening. Also, I clean dogs cages. 

In the beginning, I did not go alone, I went accompanied by an expert volunteer who explain me how things worked but now I am the expert volunteer and teach to the others new volunteers.

Finally, Moderpran is a place where I really enjoy the dogs, the atmosphere is very nice and the volunteers are kind and helpful. I would recommend everyone to go because you will not regret and it is a comforting activity                                                                                                      

The Phantom of the Opera

The OPERA HOUSE IN PARIS is a very  famous and beautiful building but it  has a ghost, a phantom, a man in black clothes. He has his own rules: the first rule is that the directors never sell tikets for Box 5, the second one, he wants a salary for his work in the Opera of  20,000 francs a month, and the last one nobody can talk about him. If the rules were not met there would be accidents.

One day the best singer from the Opera was ill and then sang Christine Daaé, a young singer from Norway who had the voice of an angel. That night was in the Opera Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagny who had known Christine four years ago in Brittany. He went to her dressing-room and she did not recognise him, after he listened her talking with a man and he thought he was her lover.

Next Wednesday  Raoul got a letter and met with Christine, she explained she loved him and she did not have a lover, he was her music teacher but it was a voice, she only heard his voice. They started to meet and spend time together. The ghost got angry and took away the girl for several days because he loved her and he wanted her to be her wife and he wanted to kill to Raoul.

Finally, Raoul was tortured by the phantom and Christine kissed him to stop the torture and the phantom said to her crying that kiss had been his first kiss and he decided to give her freedom.

The best day of my Easter Holidays

The best day of my Easter Holidays

The best day of my Easter Holidays was last Thursday, 9th April, because I didn't get up early and at midday I went to "Modepran" which is an animal shelter where I'm a volunteer, and they had good news to me.

That morning the coordinator told me that I had become in veteran volunteer, because I had gone all the days that month and they needed veteran volunteers who knew the facilities and all the dogs to help the new volunteers and I had those requirements. This fact meant that they trusted me and that made me feel good.

That evening I met with my friends and we went to the cinema to watch a film called "Insurgente" and I liked it because it's an adventures film and afterwards we went to have dinner to Foster´s Hollywood and I asked for my favourite hamburguer. It was a fantastic day!!!  

My Christmas holidays!!!

The best of my Christmas holiday was New Year's Eve and New Year´s Day. I really enjoyed those days because I went to Teruel with my parents and my friend Marcos and his the family. We decided to go there because we felt like skiing.

We arrive in Teruel at 5:30 pm and we went to the ski slope directly. We were two hours skiing and it was very funny because my friend had not skied in his life and he fell all the time.

We had dinner at the hotel, dinner was delicious and we ate so much but what I liked most were the views which were breathtaking. After, my friend and me went to my bedroom and we playing to computer games.

Next day we got up early to go to ski again and this time was different because my friend knew skiing better than the last time and we could made races.

The worst part of the trip was that I couldn't play with my New Play Station 4

IF MY HOUSE WAS BURNING ...

If my house was on fire, I would take my mobile phone and my ipad because they are very important to me and they are expensive and light so I could take them without problems.

As well I would take my Play Station3 and my favourite games because I use them when I am not busy and I have a good time.

If my house was burning I would take my sport bag because I have there  racquet and I would also put in all my clothes.

To conclude, I would take my savings and my wallet where I have my ID card

GERMANY!!! : )

DAY 1 : The first day we went to Bremen, then we went to Wittmund by bus and there we met the father and their children, two boys who we would live those days with my friend Gabi. We met the super friendly mother, although she didn't speak any English. The family taught us the house and we had dinner at 7:30h, I thought it was the afternoon snack and we went to bed at 9 p.m.

DAY 2 : The second day we went to the school, they arranged us in groups, in the group with which I had to go were Jesus, Manu, Tasio, some people of the Gabina and Comenius (two Spanish schools from Valencia), and people from other countries. We did some activities all together and we had lunch there and afterwards we went to home to made "normal life".

DAY 3 : The third day we visited an island. We saw a sewage plant although we didn't understand the functioning because we had no teacher to translate them, it was a bit difficult, but at the end we have clarified and left us free time to buy what we wanted, then we come back to our house.

DAY 4 : We stayed with the family and took us to see a big mock-up of all cities, in the surroundings there were cars that behaving alone on the road, there was even a Zeppelin! Everything was super well done with all details, Gabi and  I were pleasantly surprised. When we returned to the home we remember that there were people in the water park of Wittmund and we decided to go there. After that, we agreed to see the Spain vs Holland match in the Patricia's host house.

Grand theft auto 5

The Gran Theft auto 5 is my favourite game and it is the best game of the Play Station 3.
The company that develops the game is Rockstar North.
It is a liberal game (you can do everything you want): you can steal  cars, kill people, buy arms...

The story takes place at the city called "Los Santos" where Michael, Trevor and Franklin work individually in illegal jobs until their lives cross and they start to work in team stealing banks or doing jobs for the local mafia.Their goal is earn money and have a better life.

My summer

The 14th of  July I broke my arm practising judo. An ambulance came to the sports centre and took me at hospital "La fe" and I was operated. I was six weeks resting and I couldn't do anything: I didn't go to the swimming pool nor to the beach  so I felt bored, at least I spent many hours a day playing computer games and one weekend I went to Verdel Pino and I was with my uncle and my aunt.

THE ADVENTURES OF

CAPTAIN CROSSBONES 

Captain Crossbones and his pirates sail the South Seas in his ship, The Adventurer.  They attack and capture other ships.

Sometimes, they are bored because they don't see other ships for many weeks and then they drink rum and play cards while the Captain counts his money. Pirates don´t really like the Captain.

One day, they see a Spanish ship and attack it, the Spanish sailors aren't prepared so they lose the battle. When the Captain is looking for the treasure, he finds a boy called Luis inside a cupboard. The Captain likes Luis because he wants to be a pirate and decides to take with him to the Adventurer. But Luis has got a plan, his father gave him a map: there is a big treasure in an island called Coconut.

Many years pass and Luis becomes in a big and strong boy. He always thinks about his father and the treasure. One day, Luis sees the island and he wants to find the treasure. Suddenly, the pirates see a Spanish ship on the horizon and they attack it. While the captain thinks that Luis is watching the sailors and the captain, Luis speaks with the new Captain. He tells him his father is alive.

The pirates celebrate their victory and drink a lot of rum while the Spanish sailors escape and go to Coconut Island to find the treasure. Afterwards, they realize the pirates have betrayed the Captain Crossbones and now they have his boat.

Captain Crossbones has got a big problem too, he is alone and he can´t sail the ship. So, he returns to Coconut island and make a deal with the Spanish sailors: they all sail to New Providence together.

Finally, Luis finds his father  in New Providence and they buy a new ship. Captain Crossbones stay in New Providence and makes friends in the taverns because people like hearing stories about his life at sea, he´s not a pirate any more.

TIME FOR A ROBBERY

The characters are Jake, Ros, security, guard and robbers and the story is about two persons; Jake and Ros. 

They went to visit a castle of England. Ros wanted to see the wall first but Jake wanted to look the pictures in the castle. At the end, they go to look the pictures but they don´t have very time to see the pictures because the castle closes soon and Ros Wanted look the walls also, they are in a room when a security guard comes into with a black bag of money. Suddenly two men take the security guard´s bag. The robbers go to the next room followed Ros and Jake but the robbers mislead them. Then the guards look for two men with a black bag at the doors.
When Jake and Rose are in the tower, they see at the robber and they go down the stairs and Ros looks at the watch and looked that it was at nine o´clock. When they went into at the room where there was a clock, Ros looked that the clock was stopped and she said this at the security guard, he looked in the clock and found the money.

In my opinion this book is short, easy to read, predictable and bored. The worst part was when Jake and Ros get the tickets to go inside Rofflyn Castle, because is very slow. My recomendation is, if you want read some better book of the same author (Jonh Escott), is Star Reporter.
