Happy New Year 2011!

Hello people!

I know I've been lazy these days, I'm sorry for that. I've been spending the holidays with my sister and her children and didn't have time to sit and write.

I think today's a good day to give you a few words at least, doesn't it?

Well, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and will spend an amazing New Year's Eve.

Have fun and be safe!

Recycle... but how?

Hello guys!

Recycling is very important, specially nowadays. Well, in countries like Germany you could find any kind of recycling container you can imagine just at your front door (ok, the bigger ones are located in a specific place, but you get the idea). In places like Spain, recycling is not an easy task. There aren't enough containers, even the one for paper and cardboard, which are things you tend to throw everyday up, is missing in some places (like, for example, my street and I think my neighbourhood too). 

But today I wanna talk about a problem I faced a couple days ago. Maybe I'm just too dumb and can't figure it out... but I wanna ask anyways: How on earth am I supposed to recycle this?

Top: made of plastic (easy to untwist, ok)

Body: made of crystal (ok)

Ball (roll-on): made of plastic (impossible to stick it out, NOT OK)

Do you feel me? Where am I supposed to throw the deodorant? Should I brake the glass to let the ball run free?

I tried hard to take that darn thing out, but I couldn't. Is it just me or is it poorly designed? Maybe I should start using a different deodorant, but I like the smell and results of this.

Let me know if you have any idea about it, please.

Wake up

This morning I woke up very early, it was still pretty dark. Then I ate my breakfast and watched some early news. But later on I felt a pink-orange light that was coming through my window. I rushed, took my camera and captured the most beautiful sunrise I've ever seen.

Try watch the sunrise while listening to the "Cherokee Morning Song"

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.

Laura Izibor - Can't be love

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).
