My journey
Hi everybody!
Today I'm going to talk about my usually journey. Since two months, my journey has been very similar every day.
I've woken up at 8:00 and I have had breakfast at 8:30. Then, I've study from 9:00 to mealtime. After I've had lunch, I've returned to study 5 hours more.
It isn't very funny really, but I would like to pass a exam to get a good job as biologist. Simultaneously, I'm doing a project with animals for class. I like it.

Do you believe in ghosts, vampires or werewolfes?
Look behind you!
Sobrenatural phenomenon is a topic which always is a trend, because there are both stranges events and people who told us they 've seen a ghost or something out of the blue. Many of times, we think that the other person is pull us leg, but other times can give us food for thought, because you can't found a reasonable explanation for this event.
For this reason, I think I must to take this strange events with a pinch of salt, because many of times it's only a joke among mates. Nevertheless, It can be funny( I mean, to scare someone). For example, If you went into a forest at night, you've kept out one eye on shadows and your back. This is a good moment to take advantage of fright.

How practical are you?
Hi everyone!
Today I would like to tell you how practical is my grandfather. He is awesome, because he knows to do everything you want, such as fix a roof or put up selves in my mother's bedroom. Although he is older, he prefer doing something himself than to have something done someone.
Last summer, my grandma asked him if they could put another cupboard up in the kitchen. He answered her why not? Yes, we could. When they tell us them proposition, we told them to get someone to put up the cupboard, but He wouldn't pay someone. We discuss a bit with him and we ended up getting that someone helped my grandfather.
On the other hand, he always wants us to help him with field tasks, such as water trees or gather vegetables. I've been helped him since I was 5 years, because I love nature. What I like about field is colours of birds, plants and sounds of the nature. Other thing that amaze me is great taste of ecological veggies, because that taste is better than veggies of supermarket.

Long journey
Hi!
I haven't written anything since April because of I had no time. However, I would like to do an entry every day from now on.
Today, I'm going to tell you an amazing adventure set by in Asturias, Spain. Asturias is both a wonderful and beatiful. I was there 3 weeks ago. Well, I wasn't in Asturias, else in Somiedo, a village in the middle of nowhere. Me and my mates stayed there 3 days. At the first day, we were a far-off mountain to see birds and to try to see bears. We spent a lot of time trying to find out a bear and we ended up watching 3 bears!! It was an wonderful moment and I wish I'll go back to Asturias again.

Afternoon of cooking
Hi! I've been cooking this afternoon. I've made a quiche which ingredients were: ham, cheese, onion, evaporated milk and courgette. It has been my second quiche in my life. I think my first quiche was better than the second one. I think It was because of my mother helped my in the first one. She is a very good cook.
I try cooking once in a while, because I would like cook better and I would like to know cook a wide variety of meals. Thus, I could invite people at home to taste my meals, and, if I cooked well, They would want go back to have lunch or have dinner more times.

Disney movies
I've just watched Tod and Toby in TV at this moment. When I watched this movie, I couldn“t avoid remembering my childhood, because I loved this movie because It was about a friendship between a fox and a dog in a forest. Disney movies had better pictures than current movies. I think drawing give more naturalness at toon than digital pictures.
