"A person starts to live when he can live outside himself"
(Albert Einstein)
This is one of my favourite quotes because what it says is true, we can't live thinking only in ourselves, because if we do that, we'll have no friends and a life without friends is no life, it's just a sad existence.
Other way to understand that quote is that the person is living alone, in a imaginary world without trying to meet people. That person will be happy, but that happiness is false, no human can be truly happy living alone, we need friends.
I can't choose a favorite song because it depends on how i feel, so i'll post a Bon Jovi's song:
" It's my life."
This ain't a song for the brokenhearted
No silent prayer for the faith departed
And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life
This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky, gotta make your own breaks
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life
You better stand tall
When they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break
Baby, don't back down
It's my life
It's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!
I love this photo because it's a very beautiful place, with a lonely wolf howling, and the light makes it look mysterious and even more beautiful.
Poem:
I can see the magnificent trees
I can hear the glorious howl
I can smell the beauty of the forest
I can taste the peace of the woods
I can feel the power of nature

"If you work just for money, you'll never make it, but if you love what you're doing and you always put the customer first, success will be yours." Ray Kroc.
Basically what it means is that if you concentrate less on making money and more on loving what you are doing and developing your qualities, then success shall come to you.
I like this quote because it is exactly what I think about the music industry nowadays. I think that the music producers are so obsessed with making money that they forget that the music is what is important, and not the quality of the music video or who has the best make-up. Music artists don't seem to realize that all that matters is a great song and that's what it all should be about, loving the music.
Song:
This song is one of my favourite songs and although I couldn't get the original video because of copyright laws on youtube, the song is here and it is called
Man of the World by Fleetwood Mac.
Create a playlist at MixPod.com
They say I'm a man of the world
I've flown across every tide
And I've seen lots of pretty girls
I guess I've got everything I need
I would't ask for more
And there's no one I'd rather be
But I just wish that I'd never been born
And I need a good woman
to make me feel like a good man should
I don't say I'm a good man
Oh, but I would be if I could
I could tell you about my life
And keep you amused I'm sure
About all the times I've cried
And how I don't want to be sad anymore
And how I wish I was in love
Poem:
I can see the crowd
I can hear the music
I can feel the adrenalin
I can smell my success
I can taste the glory
Picture:
It is a photo of a Beatles concert and I chose that pic because it is where i would have liked to have been. It doesn't have to be specifically the Beatles but i loved the music from those times and I chose a Beatles concert because they're a very representative band of that time.

"Hope is the dream of those who are awake"
When you have a dream and you really want to know how it feels to make it come true, you do everything for that and that's when you can get the happiness in your life. Because you have done everythig to make it true.
That's why hope becomes the dream, because it's the power that you need and there are very few people who keep this hope. It's something impossible for others who don't keep it and that power is reduced to a dream.
+A song.
Halo - Bethany Joy Lenz.
This song is from a tv series called One tree hill which is my favourite. The singer is one of the protagonists and some of her songs are in the soundtrack of the series.
I have chosen this song because it reminds me times when I was in ESO and I used to hang around with my friends. I remember feelings that I had then and I love the sensation that I get everytime that I listen to this song.
I think she has a lot of talent because she often expresses a lot, not only with her lyrics but also with her way of acting.
I love the song and I hope you like it too.
Lyrics:
I never promised you a ray of light
I never promised there’d be sunshine every day
I’ll give you everything I have
The good the bad
Why do you put me on a pedestal?
I’m so up high that I can’t see the ground below
So help me down you’ve got it wrong
I don’t belong there
Chorus:
One thing is clear
I wear a halo
I wear a halo when you look at me
But standing from here
You wouldn’t say so
You wouldn’t say so if you were me
And I, I just want to love you
Oh I, I just want to love you
I always said that I would make mistakes
I’m only human and that’s my saving grace
I’ll fall as hard as I try
So don’t be blinded
See me as I really am
I have flaws and sometimes I even sin
So pull me from that pedestal
I don’t belong there
[Chorus]
Like to think that you know me
But in your eyes
I am something above me
That's only in your mind
Only in your mind
I wear a, I wear a, I wear a Halo
[Chorus]
(I just wanna love you)
Heya Hey Hey Hey…Hey Hey Halo
Heya Hey Hey Hey…Hey Hey Halo
Heya Hey Hey Hey…Hey Hey Halo
Heya Hey Hey Hey…Hey Hey Halo
+ An image.
Los Angeles.
This picture shows the skycrapers of Los Angeles. For me this city is amazing and it is the place where I would like to be right now. I have never been there but I will be there one day, because it the place I want to go when I finish university.
I have always liked to live in cities because I think there is more action and activities to do than in a village for example. Los Angeles is also a good place to find everything to do with the cinema world.
+A poem
I can see the dream
I can hear it coming here
I can smell the fresh air
I can taste the good times
I can feel it's a real thing!

"While the government exists, there can be no freedom; When freedom will reign, there won't be more government."
Lénin (Vladimir Ilitch Oulianov )
I love this quote because it really describes (with simple words) our current society. I totally agree with it because I've got the certainty that the State and all what forms it has developed a system which is able to entirely control all our moves, and make us dependent of it. In my opinion, we are all kind of locked in an invisible prison (laws, prohibitions, obligations, education) executing like machines what the system tells us to do.
The only antidote to this problem is to escape... and leave far away!
Stereophonics - Maybe tomorrow
I've chosen this song because it describes what some of us are looking and waiting for... “a way home”.
I've been down and
I'm wondering why
These little black clouds
Keep walking around
With me
With me
It wastes time
And I'd rather be high
Think I'll walk me outside
And buy a rainbow smile
But be free
They're all free
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
I look around at a beautiful life
Been the upperside of down
Been the inside of out
But we breathe
We breathe
I wanna breeze and an open mind
I wanna swim in the ocean
Wanna take my time for me
All me
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
HAITI
I'd really like to be in Haiti now, to help all those poor people that do not have anything and care about all the families that do not have the chance to have the ones they love near them anymore.
I can see scared faces
I can hear the cries
I can smell death
I can taste my tears
I can feel my rage

-Quote
I like this quote because it made me laugh when I read it, it makes total sense because no matter what you do in your life, you end up dying.
So you might as well make the most of it and live without thinking too much of tomorrow, of course you've got to think sometimes, such as when you are at school and when you want to carry on studying.
But there are other times that you only get one opportunity and if you think about it too much then it disappears and you may never get that chance again.
-Song
The song I chose is Stop Crying Your Heart Out by Oasis. The song starts slow and gets higher. The lyrics are really easy and the meaning is very clear. What Oasis are telling you is that no matter what happens to you then you shouldn't worry about anything and carry on, to not worry about anything and to not be afraid of anything. I like to listen to this song when I'm sad and it makes me feel better. It reminds me of a friend of mine who is always telling me to not worry and to be positive about things.
Hold up!
Hold on!
Don't be scared,
You'll never change what's been and gone
May your smile, (may your smile)
Shine on, (shine on)
Don't be scared, (don't be scared)
Your destiny may keep you warm,
'Cause all of the stars,
Have faded away
Just try not to worry,
You'll see them someday,
Take what you need,
And be on your way and
Stop crying your heart out
Get up, (get up)
Come on, (come on)
Why you scared? (I'm not scared...)
You'll never change what's been and gone
...
-Picture
The picture is of a rugby pitch that I played on in Valladolid in April. It was for the Spannish championships and I was the captain for Baleares and we won!!. It isn't just this pitch I want to be on but it is the only picture of a rugby pitch that I've got. I love playing rugby and when I play rugby I forget about everything else, about school, about studying and everything that has nothing to do with rugby.
This is the five senses poem I wrote about rugby:
I can hear nothing through my cauliflower ear,
I can smell nothing through my broken nose,
I can taste the blood dripping from my cut lip,
I can feel the pain throughout my whole body.
This is what would happen on a really bad day at rugby, I've only ever had a black eye and a cut lip, and the pain of course, like I said in my essay about health and rugby, a game of rugby, is equivalent to a small car crash. So far I have not broken my nose but I will break it sometime if I carry on with rugby. Cauliflower ears are caused by playing in the scrum and since I don't play in the scrum I am not likely to get it, I hope I don't because it doesn't look very good either.
Writing 3 (Jinlan,Susana,Chen)
‘Time is a very important thing in life,because when we have time, we have everything.’
The meaning is easy to understand. If we don't have time,we can't do anything. I really like this quote and I agree with it
My favourite song is: Nothing in the world.By Atomic Kitten.I like this song, because of the music, but I do not like the lyrics, because they are a little sad. Listening to this song I feel be very relaxed, very calm.
In the evening,Qingtian looks like s a small HongKong, because those buildings have colorful lights.
I can see the colorful buildings.
I can hear the sound of waves.
I can smell the fresh air.
I can taste the flavour of the river.
I can feel freedom inside me.

“Choose the lesser of two evils”
It means that if you have to choose between two bad things, choose the thing that is less bad. I love this proverb because the Greek philosophers already said: "you always choose the better option"
A good song is famous for the advertisement of “Estrella damm”. It was filmed in the famous Formentera.
The lyrics of the song are from"Billie the vision & the dancers".
I kissed you good bye at the airport.
I held you so close to me.
I said ’So here we are now and I can’t stop from crying Lilly’.
And you said ’Hey hey hoo, you know this is the way to go.
You will forget about me when I’m on that plane.
Forget about me when I’m on that plane.’
Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you
Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
The plane took off and my love went with it.
The chilly wind whipped my both cheeks hard.
And the man next to me said ’Everything is gonna be alright’.
I said ’Nothing is gonna be alright, but thank you anyway’.
And then I saw your face in the airplane window.
I waved my hands and I shouted to you:
Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you
Tonight tonighttonight tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
I wore a T-shirt and my worn out hat.
Abandoned as a summer cat.
And as I stood there as a broken hearted I realized you got the
car keys still.
So I broke into my own old car.
I fell asleep on the passenger seat.
I dreamed of summer sex with you and you whispered in my ear:
Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you
Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
Why can’t you leave me tomorrow instead?
And above the clouds she said to her self
I can’t believe how naive a man can be.
That’s why I love you so and that’s why I can’t be with you…’
Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you
Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you tonight.
I can see the water
I can hear the waves
Ican smell the sun
I can taste the salt
I can feel the Mediterranean sea

Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
you know, you know...
That I love you
I have loved you all along
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
you know, you know...
That I love you
I have loved you all along
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with meand you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
So far away
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know...
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go...

I like this sentence because if we do really want the change to happen, which is obviously required for the greater good of the world, we should lead by example and be the first ones to change and then the world will follow.
2. A song...
I don't really have a favourite song but one which has always been close to my heart is "Summertime" by Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald.
''Summertime'' is the name of an aria composed by George Gershwin for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess. It's a nice opera, it is based on the novel Porgy de Heyward. It's about the African-American lifestyle in Charleston, South Caroline, towards the beginning of the 1930s.
It has been sung multiple times throughout Porgy and Bess as a lullaby.
Apart from its history, it's a piece that has fascinated me since the first day that I listened to it, also I really love Jazz and this song is a popular jazz standard.
There are countless recordings and live performances by various artists, including Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald or Jannis Joplin.
This song means a lot to me, giving me a variety of feelings and emotions. I don't think that it's necessary to give an explanation for all my feelings, I just enjoy the melody.
''Summertime'' by Ella Fitzgerald with Louis Armstrong:
(lyrics of the song)
And the livin is easy
Fish are jumpin
And the cotton is high
Oh your daddy's rich
And your ma is good lookin
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
One of these mornings
You gonna rise up singin
Yes you spread your wings
And you take to the sky
But till that mornin
There's nothin can hold you
Yeah lay down by me
Stand by
Summer time
And the livin is easy
Fish are jumpin
And the cotton is high
Oh your daddy's rich
And your ma is good lookin
So hush little baby
Baby don't you cry
Don't cry
Hitchhiking, looking for new adventures and new sensations with my friends. I really like to see all the faces of the world, meeting new people...
I can see what you never imagined seeing.
I can hear the rivers at full speed down the mountains, and the cars down the streets of a cityst the same speed.
I can smell in a day, more different smells than spending a year in a perfume shop.
I can taste things, that even in dreams I would think that would be edible.
I can feel I'm the queen of the world on top of a mountain and a microscopic organism in a huge city.

“Things are only impossible until they're not.”
For me this quote means: We have to think always about the positive side of life and never think that there are impossible tasks. Nothing is impossible.
I almost never listen to music, only when I go by car and I listen to the radio. For this reason it has been difficult for me to choose a song, but a few days ago I heard a song in "los 40 principales"that I liked , the title of this song is "I’m yours" by Jason Mraz.
This photo expresses many things for example: freedom, peace, happiness.
This fantastic beach is in Hawaii, a very nice place to visit. This place is very relaxing because you can rest in this house next to the sea. The weather in Hawaii it’s fantastic because it’s sunny and warm. Also, in Hawaii there are a lot of volcanoes.

I can hear the wind
I can smell the sand
I can taste the salt of the sea
