My new addiction

 
Hello people!


Today I wanna post a song I recently heard in an episode of One Tree Hill. The moment I listened, I fell in love with it. I have it even on replay!


Enjoy.

I love this man!

Hello people!

First things first, I have to say that I'm a huge fan of the Harry Potter series. Not only the movies (which I like pretty much), but specially the books. I grew up reading them, getting involved with the story, loving the plots, the characters, etcetera.

So now that I'm only a few days apart from seen the first part of the seventh installment I came across this "Funny or Die" video, which cracked me up.

Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello people!

Well, the title of this post is pretty much self-explanatory. Today is an important day for all the american people, they gather around a table and eat with their whole families together. Normally they say why and what are they thankful for.

If I'd celebrate Thanksgiving, I would say that I'm thankful for having family and friends, whom I love and who love me back. Really, that's the most important thing in the world. And also I think about people who are and feel lonely above this blue sphere and that makes me realize that I'm lucky.

So if you celebrate Thanksgiving or not, I hope you have a peaceful and nice day.

"Have a good time today pilgrims!"

PS. If any of you celebrate something special in your country, let me know to talk about it when the day comes!

Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil

When I was just a kid, I started learning german. My entire life I've been surrounded by german words, traditions and of course, songs.

The other day I was looking for old Christmas songs I learned in german class, but I got this.


Such a cutie!

And even though you may not understand the lyrics, the kid who sang the song is so sweet, it's almost unbearable!

But I think that I had seen that croco-face before... Oh look!

Looking closer, it isn't in fact Schnappi, but a "Gomero Wall Gecko" (from the Island of La Gomera -Canary Islands- of course). It was kind enough to pose for me, he he he.

The Gomero Wall Geckos are harmless and very helpful, because they eat the bad mosquitoes (extremely helpful in the summertime).

Le contrast des paradis

Hello there!

Today I was thinking what could I write about. And suddenly it came to me like a lightning bolt: I could show you a sneak peek of the place where I live. I don't need a lot of words, because I find it so beautiful, that you just have to watch and tell me.

So, let me take you to, like Aladdin said, a whole new world. A place I proudly call home, a paradise of contrasts.

Blank Page Syndrome sucks!

Hello people!

Have you ever heard of the Blank Page Syndrome? I had, but never realized how devastating it can be.
Seconds, minutes and even hours spent in front of a blank page with the feeling that you want to burst in words, but couldn't find the way to let them out. It's frustrating and irritating, specially when you have just started writing a blog.

And it is worst when you finally find a topic to write about, but you're not in the mood to. My sister in these couple months sometimes said to me: "Hey, you could talk about this or that" but I ended saying: "Yeah, maybe... I just don't feel like writing".

This situation went like this: I wanna write about something - can't find a topic - someone give me ideas - not in the mood of writing - I wanna write about something - ... It was like that until today, that I just happened to realize that I should talk about this cloud that's over my head. Maybe I wasn't in the best mood, but I thought that it would be better to do it. Specially when I really wanna do a collab with Nienie -look at the bottom of the article I'm giving you the link of- (even though it doesn't imply writing skills).

So my advice for you all and myself: Stop being "negative" and find the mood to do something that keeps you moving and alive.

Have a good day!
