Well, I’m going to speak about my little cousin, she’s Marta and she lives in Prado del Rey in Andalucía. I’ll talk about her, because in few days it’s her birthday. Now she is 3 years old. Marta it’s special for me, she’s very shy and doesn’t speak. All of her friends speak a lot, with the family, at school, but she doesn’t speak to anybody. I still don’t understand. I don’t know if speaks now, but I hope so.
The first time that I saw Marta she was one month old and she was very small, and always cried. When I held her, I feel different. It was like taking a doll dressed in pink! It’s fantastic.
When I saw Marta again, she was 9 months, and she was just like me, I’m very surprised this was like my copy. She was like my sister. One day I had a problem with her, I was holding Marta with all the illusion of the world and she made a wrong movement and hurt her shoulder. I felt very guilty, even though it wasn’t my fault. For a few days I was very sad and I didn’t want tto hold her more.. but when I saw Marta's smile I was very happy and I smiled again.
The last time that I saw Marta she was 3 years old, and she was still shy. The difference between Marta and me was that Marta is brunette and I'm blonde and she is fatter than me when I was her age. When Marta saw me, she didn’t remember who I was. At first she was shy with me, but after we played and she started to trust me. She only wanted to stay with me, slept with me, ate with me and played with me. I gave her “xuxes” and we ate “xuxes” hidden so that nobody could see.
Marta just wanted to be with me, her mother, my aunt, told me every day, If I would go with Marta and her brother, Javier, to take care, and we spent every day. When I left her house, she cried and cried, I heard her cry from the outside, her tears came to my heart and I felt sad. I taught Javier to skate and when I heard that he said, I just want you to skate with anyone else, I was excited, and I was happy. I have some charming cousins. Both have their good sides and bad sides, thanks to this, I love them so much, I would like to see them more, why are we so far away? But when we see them we take time.

Happy birthday Marta!!!

Well now you can see some photos. I came out wrong but they're all for her

Are you stressed?

If you are stressed you can use this tecnhique to relax

Seft –Massage
Give yourself a real treat with these simple self-massage techniques.

The face:
1-Use small, slow circling movements with the fingers, working steadily from the forehead down around the temples and over the cheeks. Use firm pressure and work slowly to ease tensions out of all the facial muscles.
2- Work across the cheeks and along each side of the nose, then move out to the jaw line where a lot of tensions is held. Try not to pull downwards on the skin.
--> Let the circling movements help to smooth the stress away and gently fifth the face as you work.

The hands:
1-Help to reduce tension in the hands by firmly squeezing between each finger with the thumb and fingers of the other hand rolling the flesh a little to give a kneading effect.
2-Squeeze and gently stretch each finger in turn, working from the hand out to the fingertip
3-With a firm movement, knead the palm with the thumbs of your other hand, making strong circular strokes. This squeezes and stretches taut, contracted muscles and should be a fairly deep action
4-Work steadily over the palm, maintaining a firm pressure. Repeat these movements on the other hand.

The arms:
1-Grip your out stretched arm at the wrist, between the thumb and fingers of the other hand and squeeze firmly. Repeat moving up the arms.
2-Continue this kneading movement all the way up the arm to the shoulder. You can perform this stroke two or three times, working up wards each time, then switch arms and repeat.

The shoulders :
1-Firmly grip your shoulder and use a squeezing motion to loosen the tension, moving alone the shoulder several times. Repeat on the other side.
2- Work up as far as the base of the skull squeezing the neck muscles with your fingertips and down again

The legs:
1-Sit with one leg bent so that you can comfortably reach down as far the ankle
2- With steady, fairly firm movements sweep up the leg from ankle to knee, using alternate hands. This movement helps to move venous blood back to ward the heart as well as working on the calf muscles. If you suffer from aching legs, then do a little sweeping on the upper leg first, from knee to hip in the same way, to aid circulation. Repeat the movements on the other leg.

The feet:
Sit so that you can comfortably reach a foot, and with quile a firm grip use small circular strokes all over the sole with your thumb. Pay special attention to the arch of the food, stretching alone the line of the arch with your thumb. Change or adjust your position and repeat on the other foot.

Now you can relax with this technique.
It’s useful!
If you have stress with the exams, work, or you have a trauma after the summer holidays. Use it!
I found this information in a book: Instant aromatherapy by Mark Evans

Today, I am writing a little diary of a boy that is in an Orphanage. A few days ago, I was thinking and I thought about it. Suddenly a picture of a children in orphanages came to me and I decided to write a little story.


Dear Diary,

I’m Mark and I’m 16 years old. I've lived in an Orphanage since I was 2 years old. My parents died when I was 2 years old, they had an accident and they died at the moment, I was also in the car but I survived. I was small; I didn’t know what was going on. My parents and me were very united. The next day I went to stay with my uncle. He was a bad person and didn’t love me. He drunk alcohol and smoked a lot. Every week the social services came to see If I was good and funny, but I was sad and every day I was thinner. I stayed in his house for two weeks and I never saw him again. I stayed in a big house with other children, there I related to the others, but I didn’t like being there, I wanted my parents. I could understand that would be my new house. I didn’t like it, it was dirty and old. The days, months, years passed…
Some children left the orphanage but I didn’t leave this house. I didn’t understand. Some woman and men were in the house and sometimes they took a baby and the baby didn’t return. I wanted a family. I didn’t want to stay in there. But as the years passed I understood what was going on around me, people who went there to take a children but the only children that the people took were babies, I was already 5 years old so nobody would take me. I had to get used to the idea of living alone and without family…
I have already spent 11 years here and I'm not used to the idea… I promise you that when I was five until now I prayed every day, I spent my free time crying and crying. The people who worked in the orphanage saw I was suffering, I didn’t leave my room. They sent psychologists to help me, but I knew that the only thing I could do was to change out of there and go back to be with my parents. I know that the latter is impossible, but I still had hope to get out of there. Now I hope that I am 18 and can leave this nightmare. But did it have to happen to me? It’s incredible, I lost my parents that are the most important thing of my life, I don’t have more family and now I have to endure this…
I just want a friend here, she is called Pauline, she is French and is two years younger than me. She's the only person who knows how to get a smile in hard moments. Well, it’s time to turn off the light, tomorrow I write my second day of my diary.
Good night, dear diary.


Well that’s the end of the first day, and from here you can let your imagination run.

Now you can see a photo of my cousin, she’s Gina and she’s from Romania and my aunt took her out of the Orphanage. The first time that I saw the photo I cried, I imagined her in there, and also I compared before and now, In the photo she was around the year I think, now she’s 9 years old, and she is a rebellious girl, but it’s fantastic! My aunt took out another child but he was from Ukraine and he’s Roman and now he’s 7 years old. He's also is a rebellious boy, but also it’s fantastic and even if they don’t have my blood I love them so much,like my family

Carnival in Brazil

Today I decided that I’ll explain a little bit about the carnival of Brazil, the costumes and what the people do. Carnival is the most famous holiday in Brazil. It is not about a big moment in history or about a famous person, but it is important for the people because it's a time of camaraderie, freedom, and almost a whole week without work. People can choose between parties or rest, and most people choose parties, day after day, night after night. It starts forty days before Easter. It's based on the Christian calendar, but it isn't approved by the Church very well. It lasts four days and four nights. It starts on Saturday and finishes on a Thursday. People put on their costumes and go out into the streets or to clubs. There are also the Samba schools which make a parade showing their music, fantasies, and allegorical cars. They are followed by the people. Every year the parade tells a different story. Each city has one or more schools like this. Carnival is celebrated in the south where by Wednesday everything comes back to normal. The problem is that it is not approved by the church in the Northwest where carnival is more traditional. There people don't respect its end and continue to party until the next Sunday.
I like the Carnival because everybody dances and has fun. I like all the parties! In Brazil it is the only national holiday that mixes the whole country and its different kinds of people and cultures together.
Every Carnival, since I was child, I dressed up as something, here you can see some of the photos from when I was small.

In this photo you can see my brother and me Here, when I was three years old.

Clàudia, Laura and Cristina

My brother and me

Well, I’m going to speak about some exotic animals.
First, parrots. They have a strong peak to break their food. The parrots have a thick tongue which has also been created as an aid to attach and climb, the upper jaw is extremely mobile. Its wings are short and can have a long tail. They are also characterized by their legs, short and strong.
What do parrots eat?
They feed on seeds, fruits, roots.. but some also eat honey, insects, earthworms ... They drink little water. The eggs are white
They have a powerful voice, a scream.
What is the talent of the parrots?
They can talk, especially in larger species, and are capable of repeating, immitating words or sing. Some even say phrases.
Where you can find parrots?
Parrots are everywhere in tropical regions of the world and some species even live in temperate areas of the northern and southern hemispheres. The areas of greatest diversity are the Amazon, Central America, Australia, New Guinea and adjacent islands. Relatively few species live in the interior of Africa and Asia.
I would like to have some parrots, to teach to speak and then when they talk to me I'll feel satisfied
Then, the iguana. The iguanas are cold-blooded animals, quiet and good pets . The iguana is bright green with a few dark bands on the tail. It has very short legs and five toes on each foot, finishing in a very sharp claw. It has thick scales that cover their skin and provides protection against the water. Perhaps the most remarkable physical aspect is the loose skin that hangs from its neck. It spends a lot of time eating for two reasons:
-To have the optimum temperature which allows it to improve the digestion of food consumed and to avoid infections.
- Of the solar radiation ultraviolet light, which reacts chemically with the skin of the iguana and produces vitamin D3, this is a vitamin to help the iguana to keep its bones healthy and improves the functioning of their kidneys, liver and reproductive organs.
They live in tropical and subtropical regions, in Mexico and Brazil . A male can measure more than two meters. The green iguana is vegetarian.
I don't like iguanas much, but I find that they have something special

The flamingo is bright pink. It has a long neck and a sharp beak, with which it separates the mud and algae. It has a strange peak, it's that the head grade, curve and the black tip. is an animal originating from the Black Sea and Caspian Sea. They live in large colonies and are very forewarned. They can always be seen in the gaps with little vegetation with a lot of visibility to observe danger coming. They can be seen in his characteristic pose: standing on one leg for long hours and in the great silence.
I like the physical appearance of flamingos, it is an animal that caught my attention, and they are very nice.
Now I won't explain any more exotic animals, because I can explain a lot of animals and I have spent a lot of time to write and you for read, and perhaps it's heavy.
Now I give my opinion about the animals.
Crocodile: It iss a dominant animal, I like to watch and act as a living but nothing more
Hedgehog: It's a very nice animal; I would like to have a hedgehog. Elephant: it’s an animal that I don’t like very much but I like to see their lives, like how they defend themselves, showering and protect their brood.
The kangaroo is one of the animals that I like most; I would like to have a closer look and be able to observe them. One of the things that I wish would be to go to Australia to see the Kangaroos.
Turtles are very quiet animals, they depend on themselves, one of the things I like most is their breeding, when they lay eggs and baby turtles are born. A few years ago, I had two turtles but they died from the ld, because they were very small.
The shark like the crocodile is a very dominant animal, I love seeing movies about them and I would like to see them do diving, but I wouldn't like to meet them.

Now you can see that one of the things that I like most are the animals, to see how they live and observe them. I could explain more animals, but for now it is enough. I would have a lot of animals if my parents let me.

What about it?

ABOUT THE DREAMS

Dreams are a series of scenes or images associated with different sensations and feelings that we remember when we wake up, but what exactly are they? No-one knows for sure. But there are a lot of scenarios and versions, now you can see some versions.
-A dream is a manifestation of images, sounds, and sometimes showing common and uncommon relationships. It is a mirror that reflects some aspect of life or the unconscious
-A dream is a door hidden in the most intimate secrets and spaces of the soul.
-Dreams are memories

Often when you have dreams, in the morning you don't remember anything. the dreams have got three parts:
The first is when you sleep deeply, when you don’t remember the dream, the second, the dream isn’t as deep and sometimes we agree and sometimes not, and the third it is almost time to get up at the stage is agreed one of everything.
The brain deletes what it doesn't need and leaves the most important. However the dreams that you like or giving true impact will remain in your memory.
What are the most important?
Everybody dreams every day, sometimes more or less intensely, sometimes more or less related to the experiences of the day or the day nearby at the time. Many times we have obsessive dreams, as the typical dreams associated with the phobia. There are occasions where the dreams are so intense, and when we woke up with the feeling that we have dreamed, but not exactly remember the content of the dream, or what we have completely forgotten.
Why do we dream? It’s an involuntary act that we all have. When we sleep, our brain isn’t idle. Many people says that it’s even more active than when we are awake. In the day to day, the brain absorbs everything that we perceive, it is processed and gives us only the useful information, because if we don’t come back we are crazy!. When we sleep, people are relaxed and begin to process. They are experiences that your mind created.They are a lot of people that study the dreams, and they are a lot of theories. All dreams have a real meaning in life, for example If you dream about love it reflects a state of love in a current relationship, it also represents happiness and satisfaction with life. In contrast, dreams with love often mean that you have lack of affection in real life. Dreaming of two people that fall in love, means that you will soon have much success. Another example is If you dream about death. If the dream is of the death of someone you love or a member of your family it brings bad luck or so they say, if the persons dies in your dream this can mean thatit is a way for you to fix your feelings. When I sleep and after waking up I rarely remember something, sometimes I remember something specific but not very often.
