EXAMS...Oh my God!!!

Hello!How are you???

I guess wound up isn’t it???It’s exams time and everybody is in the library, the air is full of nerves and people are very irascible.

Here goes my advice: be calm, have a breath deep and relax. Yes, yes, I know it’s difficult but getting more and more nervous doesn’t help you to concentrate, so…

And finally…. GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!!!!

Probably this month is going to be a bit difficult but I’m sure we will go beyond.

GOOD LUCK AGAIN and see you after the exams!:)

Lisey's story.

Hello people!!!!:D How was your day???

Have I talked you about Lisey’s Story, a book by Stephen King? This is a phsycological terror novel and it’s really interesting.

The novel is about Lisey Landon, who is the widow of a famous and wildly successful novelist, Scott Landon. The book tells two stories—Lisey's story in the present, and the story of her dead husband's life, as remembered by Lisey during the course of the novel.
It has been two years since her husband's death, and Lisey is in the process of cleaning out her dead husband's writing area. A series of events occurs that causes Lisey to begin facing certain realities about her husband that she had repressed and forgotten. As Lisey is stalked, terrorized, and then mutilated by an insane fan of her husband's, Lisey begins recalling her husband's past—how he came from a family with a history of horrible mental illness that manifested as either an uncontrollable homicidal mania or as a deep catatonia, how he had a special gift, an ability to transport himself to another world, called by Scott Landon "Boo'ya Moon," how Scott Landon's brother was murdered by his father when his brother manifested an incurable insanity, and finally how Scott Landon murdered his father to save his father from the madness that had finally taken him over.
As the novel progresses we see the complexity of Lisey's marriage to Scott, and their deep and abiding love for each other. The novel takes place over a very short period of time—a matter of days—but the real story is told in Lisey's remembrances of her husband, her ability to harness his special power to save herself (and her sister), and finally to find the gift that her dead husband had left for her in Boo'ya Moon—a story just for Lisey. Lisey's story.
I have a special good time reading this book, so I strong recommend it. This is not a typical horror story by King and I think it become really interesting by the first pages until the end.
Read it, I’m sure you will enjoy!!

Life is Beautiful

Hiiii everybody!!!! How are you????

Today I’m going to talk about a very beautiful film, that I guess most of you have seen: Life is Beautiful.

Here you have the plot:

Guido is both funny and charismatic, especially when he romances a local school teacher, Dora. Dora, however comes from a wealthy, aristocratic, non-Jewish Italian family. Dora's mother wants her to marry a well-to-do civil servant, but Dora falls instead for Guido where he ends up stealing her away at her engagement party from her aristocratic but arrogant fiancé.
Several years pass in which Guido and Dora marry and have a son, Joshua.
In the second half of the film, The Second World War has already begun. Guido, Uncle Eliseo, and Joshua are forced onto a train and taken to a concentration camp on Joshua's birthday. Dora demands to be on the same train to join her family and is permitted to do so.
In the camp, Guido hides his son from the Nazi guards, sneaks him food, and tries to humor him. In an attempt to keep up Joshua's spirits, Guido convinces him that the camp is just a game, in which the first person to get 1,000 points wins a tank. He tells him that if he cries, complains that he wants his mother, or says that he is hungry, he will lose points, while quiet boys who hide from the camp guards earn 1,000 points.

I think this is one of the most beautiful and sad films I ever had seen, and I hope you enjoy the same as me watching it.

See you soon!!!=)

Shrek!

Hi again!!How was your day??I hope fine!!

            Yesterday we went to a friend’s house and watched a film, so I want to share with us the night but specially the film.

            We have dinner and after that we switch on the TV and we realized that there was a quite funny film: Shrek. Did you watch it?? It’s a really funny film, isn’t it??

            Shrek is grumpy, smelly and ugly ogre, living peacefully in a swamp. One night, he suddenly finds his land has been squatted by a mass of fairy-tale creatures (Pinocchio, the three little pigs, Peter Pan, Snow White, Cinderella, among others), who have been banished by the evil Lord Farquaad. One of these is donkey (who just won't shut up). Accompanied by him, Shrek confronts Lord Farquaad, demanding his land back. Farquaad does him a deal, telling him to rescue Princess Fiona from a dragon-guarded castle, to get his swamp back.
                Shrek and Donkey go and rescue the Princess, narrowly avoiding being burned by the dragon, who tries to seduce Donkey (being a girl Dragon!). Fiona is disgruntled about being rescued by an ugly ogre, rather than Prince Charming. However, despite their differences, she and Shrek grow fond of each other.
                On the second night of their return journey, Fiona hides in a windmill. Donkey finds her, and discovers that she's turned into an ogress. She explains that she's under a spell, which can only be broken by true love's first kiss. Shrek overhears part of this, but misunderstands and thinks she doesn't love him because he's ugly.
                Just as she decides to tell Shrek the truth, the sun rises and she becomes a beautiful princess again. Lord Farquaad arrives and takes Fiona to his castle, and Shrek returns to his swamp. Both are miserable.
                Later, Shrek, Donkey and Dragon head to Farquaad's castle, to try to stop Fiona marrying him. When they arrive, the sun sets and Fiona becomes an ogress again. Farquaad doesn't want to marry her, and sets the guards on everybody, but Dragon comes to the rescue and eats Farquaad up. Shrek and Fiona kiss. Therefore, Fiona stays ugly (in conformity with the spell: "you find true love's first kiss and then take love's true form"), and marries Shrek, and they live "ugly" ever after.

I hope if you watch the film, you enjoy it!!

See you!!!!

The Shadow of the Wind

Hellooo!!! How are you???

            Today I’m going to talk about one of my favorite books: The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. I’ve read this book about four or five times and I never get tired and interested in it, is a wonderful book.

            The novel, set in post–Spanish Civil War Barcelona, concerns a young boy, Daniel. Just after the war, Daniel's father takes him to the secret Cemetery of Forgotten Books, a huge library of old, forgotten titles lovingly preserved by a select few initiates. According to tradition, everyone initiated to this secret place is allowed to take one book from it, and must protect it for life. Daniel selects a book called The Shadow of the Wind by Julián Carax. That night he takes the book home and reads it, completely engrossed. Daniel then attempts to look for other books by this unknown author, but can find none. All he comes across are stories of a strange man – calling himself Laín Coubert, after a character in the book who happens to be the Devil – who has been seeking out Carax's books for decades, buying them all and burning them.

           

            I love this book and its author and I must admit that I’ve read almost all the novels by Zafon.

           

             Carlos Ruiz Zafon writes thriller or horror books but with an argument and I’m sure if you start reading any of his book you become a fan.

           

             So, I strong recommend The Shadow of the Wind, but any other book of Zafon will be great.

           

                                        See you soon!!

The House of Wax

Hiiii!!! How are you???

Yesterday we went to have dinner at a friend’s house and after eating we saw The house of Wax, a horror film.

Here you have the plot:

Teenage friends Nick Jones, Wade, Dalton Chapman, Blake, Curly Jones and Paige Edwards must camp in a godforsaken part of Louisiana on their way to a college football game and get a good scare finding a pile of deer meat and one human arm- fake. After the fan belt of Wade's car breaks he decides, not really a fan anyway, to stay behind with his girl while the others drove on. The pair accepts a local's ride, but rather rudely makes him stop doubting his sincerity, as turns out just outside the nearest town he tipped them off to have a garage. It's a sleepy place, where they are scolding for interrupting a funeral to get the mechanic. Waiting for him, they wonder into the town's only attraction, a nevertheless empty wax figures museum. After his arrival, they split up and their nightmare starts, ultimately being captured and tortured by a madman, or two, who already produced the wax people from once live ones. Meanwhile the other mates gave up braving a traffic jam that made them loose too much time to attend the match, and return, only to fall prey themselves. Still some survive and fight back.

Honestly, I don’t like it very much but if you like the horror film make sure you have a great time!!!

It’s a film full of blood and few frights but it’s a good method to spent the night, have a great time with friends and be a little bit frightened.

See you sooner!!!

Happy 2011!!!

Happy New Year!!!!

How was your night??? Did you stay at home?? Did you go out with friends??Did you go out with your family??

Well, today I’m going to explain how I spent my night. We went to a friend’s village to spend the night; it was a small one so there weren’t many people. When we arrived we started to cook the dinner and preparing the party. After that we get dressed and started eating the meat and the whole dinner. When we finished, quickly we prepared the twelve grapes and went to the main square of the village to listen the twelve stokes. And then we celebrated the New Year with songs and dance.

As you see, we spent the entire night dancing and singing. I have a really good time with all of my friends and at 6 in the morning we decided to go to the bed because we were exhausted.

I hope you spent a great time too and that the New Year will be your year.

Happy 2011!!!!

See you soon!!!!
