Charmed As maybe all of you (or almost) already know, in the latest 90's of last century, a tv show was launched in the USA: "Charmed" ("Embrujadas" in Spanish). I've watched a lot of series in my life, but this is for me the best and I'm about to watch it again for the forth time. Besides, I´m watching it in original version with English subtitles as another tool for improve my English´s skills. Sometimes I turn off the subtitles even (despite of I miss some parts). If someone doesn't know what I´m talking about, "Charmed" speaks about the Halliwell´s sisters, who discover they are witches, have powers and have as destiny fighting against evil and protect innocents. I think one of the values of "Charmed" and one of the reasons of it success, lies in the cast. The actresses Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan are adorable in their roles. However I have my favorite character, Paige. I love her gestures and the way she faces the problems. Also her powers are for me the most interesting ones, followed by Piper's. It's funny when so many years ago my English skills were so poor and I didn't understand why they said the all sisters had a name which began with a "P" (neither made sense to me the club´s name "P3") as well as Phoebe hadn´t a P sound (in Spanish the English pronunciation of this name would be written as "Fibi"). I used to think...."ummm, "Fibi" begins with an F, not a P, I don´t understand then". Also I think "Charmed" was pioneer in showing something really important that has been gaining relevance in recent years: female empowerment. I'd really like watching strong and united women who were able to fight against everything. You can feel it specially when they chant their house brand battle-cry: "The power of three will set us free". Thanks for reading and I'd be very grateful for your corrections. See ya!

Meteor shower Last night, some friends ask me to go with them to see the meteor shower that is possible to look at sky these nights. It was a really new experience to me since i've never watched it before. Besides, the birthday of one of them began after midnight. I couldn't refuse this date despite of when night falls and was time to go out, I was so tired (i had been working out in the afternoon). We met at 23 pm in an intermidiate point of our destination, which was placed out of Madrid's city lights in the nearby sierra. As we were arriving, we could see a lot of stars in the sky (it remembered to me the nights in my parents' towns when I was a child). It´s really hot this days in Madrid, although we knew that will be cold out there and we carried some sweatshirts. However, we were very optimistic with our prediction about the temperature. When we got out of the car, it was a really cold and windy weather. It was such a relief that a friend was provided with towels and a bed sheet thar was useful as a windbreaker. We curled up on the floor and between a rocks hugging one each other and looked at sky. It was amazing! We could see a lot of shooting stars, some more spectacular than others since they had more trail. You could see them during less than a second but we could see a lot. But after fifteen minutes or so, two friends and I were so cold, so we decided to wait the others inside one car. It wasn't the same, in fact the car windows didn´t allow us to see the stars, but I think we did the best for our health. When the other friends gave up too and came inside the cars, they were so freezed (It took me several minutes to warm a friend by hugging her). This morning, I´ve waked up with a little throat discomfort, not a big problem at all, and in any case, it was a worthwhile experience. Next time we will be more prepared. Thanks all of you for reading and I will be so grateful for your corrections. See ya!
