HIMYM


How I met your mother is one of the most popular tv programme in USA. This serie explains the life of Ted Mosby and his friends. Ted is a rational man who doesn't do anything without thnking about it. This serie follow the life of he and his friend through a search of Ted's love. He's an architect who is working in a university but Barney Stinson wants to give him a project to build the new building for his company. Barney is a smart men who wants to roll up with a lot of girls. But also, he's looking for his love, but he doesn't find it.
Also there is the only couple in the serie: Marshall Erikssen and Lilly Aldrin. They met them in the university and started a relationship since then. They are the characters who give stability in this serie and the perfect love.
And the character that's it's different than the rest is Robin. She's a journalist from Canada but she decide to work in NYC. Ted fell in love with her and after that he introduce her in his friend group.


In my opinion, this is one of the best tv serie and it shows how important is a friend group to enjoy

Don't worry, be happy.

Sometimes we get stressed and we can't think clearly. It means that there is something wrong inside our brain as neurotransmissors aren't working well at this moment and you need to take a break. Specialists now are trying to find out how the brain workd and what causes some of the most populars neurodegeneratives diseaes. Actually we know what every part of our brain does but we don't know the reason why it happens.

Some specialists are making an effort to look for this solution because they think that it would help them to understand how we are abd why we are.It could also help by looking for the regeneration of neurons, and neurotransmitors.

It can give society a ray of hope because if you have a relative who has a degenerative disease, it can help him and also to make people more intelligent, to understand feelings and emotions, but above all, to help people

Galileo

Europe has launched to the space a rocket that carries the most famous European GPS system: Galileo. A total of 16 satellites that have to complete this system that it has to be the most complex system and useful for us. The system allows you to know where someone is with in a milimetric precision around the world.

But the only bad thing that it has is that you can know were your mobile contacts are if you have an iPhone with "Find my Friends" and it can give problems to some couples.

In general, it shows how technology has improved a lot, and that's a positive point for European technology.

San Francisco

Before to leave LA, we rent a Suburban. I have to say that this car is one of the most comfortable I've ever been. We spent 7 hours traveling trought west Coast. We did a break in Santa Barbara, a great and beautiful place with an endless coastline full of beaches. Then, we arrived to SF, about 8 pm. The city was full of fog and all cars had the lights on. We found our hotel and as we were hungry, we found some place to have dinner. As it's usual in USA, fast food was the best solution to calm our hungry.

At 8am, we were going to pier 33 to take a ferry to Alcatraz. My impression about Alcatraz was magic. When you're there, you start to think how feelings people felt when they were there and how the life was inside the prision.

Afterwards, we went to have lunch, fish and ships in a chinese trade. Then we went to visit little italy and chinatown. When the night fell over SF, all homeless went out from some shelters and the city was afraid. But the positive thing of it, was that we could ride a cablecar, and see all famous places.
In general, one of the most beatuiful cities in USA, and a great place to enjoy.

L.A.

Have you ever had a dreamed place where you'd like to go? I had one: West Coast. I don't tell you what I felt when I was there right now, so let me explain my trip.

My trip starts in Barcelona in the airport. We catch the plan from Barcelona to Zurich. We arrive in Zurich at 11pm and 1 hour after, we were flying to L.A.. During 13 hours, my boring level was maximum. We land at 15 pm and we find the way we can go out from the airport.
LAX (the name of L.A. airport) is huge and there are infinity of ways to go out. We catch a bus and after lose ourself in L.A outskirts during 3 hours, we arrive to L.A. center, Hollywood Boulevard. Huge avenues, large streets, lots of cars driving at high speed and some homeless. We spend 1 hour looking for the hotel, and finally we arrive. After it, we leave the luggage to the room and go for some food, fast food, traditional american food.
1 day: We spend one day in L.A. After to explain what we do, I have to advertise you: L.A. is a waste of time and money. Then I explain you:
We wake up at 8am and we have breakfast. 20 minutes later, we are walking to Hollywood. We arrive to Hollywood and we see that it's a fantastic place. We spend 3 hours visiting Hollywood, Chinese theatre, Hollywood street and some more things. We take lots of photos. After it we decide to visit Beverly Hills and we meet a man who wants to guide us with limousin to Beverly Hills. We spend 3 hours visiting Beverlly Hills and Rodeo Street.
As we are starved, we decide to look for some restaurant and as normal, fast food.
At the afternoon we visit Pueblo, the originally center of L.A. at next to L.A. skyline. We spend all afternoon visiting pueblo and at 8 pm, we are at the hotel. We look for some fast food and go to sleep as tomorrow waits for us 8 hours closed into a car traveling to S.F.

My objective for this course

My objective for this course are manly to pass Batxillerat and get the qualification. I would also like to get a good mark in selectivity.
For the first term, I'm doing my homework ever day and if I have no homework, I do new posts or my research project. I have to say that I don't believe myself because I'm working very hard and on the 5th of october I have my first exam. And there's another problem that worries me: the research project, but this problem will be fixed in the second term.
For the second term, I'll keep going with the same dynamics, and must not give up, as it will be one of the hardest terms and I expect that my marks won't go down. And the third term will be the last. I'll finish batxillerat and then I'll prepare for selectivity.
I would like to maintain the same rythm than the first term and I think if I follow this rythm, it won't be a nightmare course.

How I am

My dream

I'm Aleix and now I'm doing 2nd of Batxillerat. I've always been a lazy boy. But this year it isn't. This year I'm working hard because I want to get the best mark in selectivitat if I could. I'm glad on myself because I'm not the same boy than last year, I've changed. I would like to study an computering career when I finish batxillerat.


When I'll finish my career, I would like to carry on studying and course some specialized master, like making and design computer games amb video games and go to workl on EA SPORTS labs or ACTIVISION labs. But all these words are just words.

Final reflection

This year I've improved a lot. I remember when I started the year, I wrote very slow, but now I can write with more fluency. I think this better is for the blog. Also, because this year I've known a lot of English and American people playing some on-line games and I've emailed with their.
The main activity I've could show my english level has been in compositions and exams. I've passed all english exams and in fact, I've imporved a lot.
For me, doing the blog has been a great way to improve in fluency and vocabulary.

Child soldier

Child soldiers

Self-evaluation:
I think that it has been the worst presentation I've ever done. I was too nervous to speak with my habitual fluency. I have to recognize that I hadn't prepeared as well as I wanted and it can be one of the most problems to expose it. But slowly I'm improving and I think this is the main objective to reach, and the next steap is speak without any preparation so to reach it, I think many years has to passed befor I get it.
I haven't found the video into clara's phone.

Third age Total War

Third age Total War is a fantàstic game about the Lord of the Ring. This is not an authentic game, is a Medieval Total War's modification. TATW includes new soldiers, new factions like orcs, humans, elves, and some others factions. One thing I like in this game is that you can do all you want as kill orcs, or trade with elves. You can improve your soldiers with gold shields or improve their swords. Also, inside each faction, there are exclusive units. For exemple, humans have the white tree guardians or orcs have fighting elephants. I think this summer I will play as much as possible because I've started to play in exam's time and it isn't a good time to play now, I'll wait for the beginning of summer to play, and to enjoy so much!

Piece of news

Bin Laden has been killed by USA army in his house in Pakistan. Momently, there are no official photos about his death body. One thing it's true: there are too many incognites to resolve as: Does Bin Laden exist? According to Obama, Bin laden has been kill by an headshoot. The Bin Laden's death has been a consequency of a lot of preparations months and nerves, crawl, and research of files until Obama has given the final order to kill him when he was completly sure about the exit of the mission. Also, nobody except some persons of the USA government knew about this operation and neither the Pakistan government knew something. Finally, Obama said that the fighting against terror goes on, but it doesn't mean that Al-Qaeda will give up, they will carry on to make terror around the world.


This notice can affect us because if Bin Laden is death, they will want to revenge his death and it could be that attacks like 11-S or 11-M could take place again and it could the beginning of a non-stop massive attack around the world.

Philosophy's exam

Today at 1:30 we have philosophy exam. This is the last exam in first batxillerat and I'm so nervous because I don't know how to summarized my thinkings and my ideas. We have to study the main ethical theories and what's the difference between know and belive. I thinked that there weren't any differences so I've discovered that there are a lot! Apart of that, also we have to study deductive reasoning and inductive reasoning, logical proofs and some more things like that.
About the theory, I think philosphers smoked marihuana or something like that because an ordinary person couldn't, can't, and be able to think all of these things that it seems paranoids. For exemple, you can't think that the pleasure moves the society and one action will be morally well when incresses the pleasure of maximum number of people. How could they think about it?! For exemple, you can kill Bin Laden beacuse it incresses the happiness of all the Americans. But I think this is an ilogical and non-sense answer or and invalid and maquiavelic statement.

Love the way you lie part II

Just gonna stand here and watch me burn.

This is the main sentence of this fantàstic song performanced by Eminem and Rihanna. But I would like to talk about Eminem's part. This part is the best part I've ever heard in one song. This part talks about one couple who have problems and the girl decided to run out of this House, but the man don't want it. He says that if she leave him, he will follow her like a lost puppy. Also, Eminem has made great songs as Space bound or I'm not afraid.
I like Eminem's lyrics because even their lyrics always have problems, their lyrics ar fantastics. Even I don't listen Rap, Eminem is my favourite singer in this gener.


And a video from Love the way you lie part II and Space Bound

Film review


The film I've seen it's United 93.
It treats about 11-S attacks. The movie starts with the preparation of hijacked plane. With this hijacked, they wanted to crash into Penthagon or CIA's central building. During the flight, terrorists kill the pilot and their co-pilot and replaced them for their pilot. Then, when passengers find out the killed pilot, they decided to rebel against the terrorists. They get the plane control but the plane crash into the ground.

I recommend this film because when I was seeing it, I was imagining me in this plane with this situation and I was afraid. If you want to feel afraid or reflexive, this is your film

The american fleet

In 1954, american fleet arrived to Barcelona's port from USA. At the first time, the sailors took down of the frigate and started to moor it. Then, they started to visit the city and buy presents for their lovers. During they stay, the city improved in economic terms, they introduced games like basketball, like rugby. Also, they introduced tobacco, whiskey and another meals like hamburger, etc...

Furthermore, the naval technology improved with their army technologies and spanish fleet started to improve. During 10 years, the city had all these things. Shopkeepers could life better than before, the whores had won a lot of money and as shopkeepers, also they could life better.

This "new" affect the society as a improved. Thanks to it, our contry has could develop and improve in life quality and more things that without their coming, probably we couldn't do things than we're doing now.

We have almost learnt to respect our world

I don't agree with this topic. We've learnt to respect our world but we don't want to do that.

For exemple, imagine that you are living in Africa. There are too many poor people and many rich people. Rich people could help poor people with economic resources to investigate or to work in better condition than now or to polluted less than now, but the don't want to do it. Around the world, there is now a lot of powerful energy which uses mineral energy to create electricity an their waste can be treated to clean it, so it is to expenisve.

Even so we are destroying tje planet, we jave the resources and the solution to fix it but as I said, the governments or businessman wouldn't want to lose money helping to preserve the world. We have electric carsss and public transport to block the emision of CO2 to the atmosphere. We can keep the nuclear waste in pools or we can clean the water to keep animals. So until people start to do that, we will be killing our planet.

To conclude we have the power to safe the world but we don't want to spend money saving the Earth, and it probably will be our destruction.

My season as a coach

My second season as a coach has been better than I expected. The season hasn't finished yet and my team still has four matches to play. In my opinion, my team has improved a lot and now they can play without help. This is the best thing I admire. Even so, my team has had a lot of problem, I've fixed them and all I have to do is work hard and teach my players values like friendship, be hard-working players, more humanity and not complain to the referee.
I've defined how I want my future teams to play and what I don't want my teams to do.
I've improved as a coach a lot, I've learnt a lot of exercises and probably next summer I will do the second coach course.
Today we've played our match and we h
aven't played as I wanted. As a result, we've lost 47-34. In my opinion, we've lost the match due to the rebounds and our defense didn't work as well as I thinked. And also, we haven't moved the ball as fast as I wanted. In fact, we're 7th and they're 3th.
And in this picture I'm coaching in one match.
