Christmas is coming.

My favourite time of the year is… undoubtedly Christmas. Are you wondering why? Although this question seems straightforward to answer, I do not know where to start, but I will try. I love Christmas so much for hundreds of thousands of reasons, and even though I would really like to let you know all of them, I cannot because it may take several hours. I can guess what you are thinking right now and you are wrong, I am not exaggerating at all. Well, I am digressing from what I wanted to talk about, aren’t I? As I was saying, I like Christmas because it is when I write my wish list for next year, I draw up a balance about what went well this year, what went wrong, and what needs to be improved, and I suggest several plans and activities to carry out during Christmas time, too. I love putting up the Christmas tree while there is a Christmas movie on the TV, decorating my entire house, listening to old Christmas songs and carols, as well as snuggling up with a blanket while I drink hot chocolate. I also love its atmosphere full of cheer, joy and happiness, and to see the city streets lighted and the shop windows decorated with coloured lights and Christmas trees. But what I love about Christmas above all is the fact that my whole family comes together, since I miss them, we laugh a lot and share great moments. To sum up, the end of the year is always exciting for me because I have endless things to do, but at the same time, it also saddens me to see it end. 

Description of a picture.

The picture shows a coastal area in which there are hundreds of old and brown rocks whose shapes are diverse, since there are hexagonal, circle and square rocks. But most of them are hexagonal. The image was probably taken on a British island, and that island is perhaps not really big. I think so because we can see a kind of cliff in the middle of the photo and there are many of them in Great Britain. This place might have got a temperature climate due to the influence of the sea, and its ancient rocks were maybe formed millions of years ago. I like the picture because its atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. There, the only noise you can hear are the waves beating against the rocks, as we can see at the bottom on the left of the photo, or the seagulls. The predominant colours are obviously the brown, owing to the fact that rocks appear in the foreground, in the background and also in the middle, and the blue. The ocean, we can see it on the left and in the background of the image, is an intense blue colour, like sapphire, and this can be provoked by the sunlight, although there are some fluffy white clouds in the blue sky. From my point of view, it is a great place to rest, to reflect and to forget about the problems.  

Marriage.

My oldest cousin is looking forward to getting married because she is very much in love and wants to spend her entire life with her partner. However, I consider that marriage is a nonsense and a mistake for several reasons. First of all, love is a passionate affection between two people, therefore it is a two way thing, so it is completely unnecessary that a third person, in other words, the priest, blesses and makes official a union. Secondly, to sign a paper is not going to change your feelings for that person, neither to the better nor to the worse. And thirdly, although you are married, it does not necessarily mean that you two will stay together forever, since there are love stories which are destined to end. What would happen with you then if the person you love so much leaves you because things do not work anymore? The answer to this is quite clear. You would feel empty, you would be torn apart inside and the worst part is that you will be linked to him or her due to marriage. You could of course get divorced but divorce is a long and expensive process which brings a lot of problems and fights most of the time. All in all, be careful with marriage because it could turn the ring you give away or your partner gives you away into the chain which will asphyxiate you the rest of your life.

Stop terrorism.

Unfortunately, once again we have witnessed that the world does not progress over the years and that the human race can be very inhuman. I am referring to terrorist attacks happened last week in Beirut, Paris and Syria, not to one in particular, because I do not give preference to none of them. We define ourselves as the only species that is able to reason, but we are also the only one that destroys everything in its path, even itself. Personally, I strongly believe that many people have no feelings. It is a merciless and repugnant act to calculate coldly the precise hour in which a bomb will explode in order to cause as many deaths as possible. Is it too much to ask that the world wakes up being better tomorrow? If John Lennon came back to life and realised his song “Imagine” was no use, he would not be able to believe his eyes. All in all, the world needs more good-hearted people and any type of weapon.

Space debris.

Have you ever thought about what you would do if you found an unknown object in the place where you live? This situation happened a few days ago in a town of Murcia called Calasparra. It was the owner of the piece of land where that object fell down who called the Civil Guard to report the incident. They took the object away in order to analyse it and they put immediately the zone under quarantine, since there were endless speculations about what this black ball might be but none of them had been verified.

According to independent researchers and the Civil Guard, the mysterious black orb may be a pressurised gas container which came from outer space, a fuel tank from a rocket, debris from a satellite that broke apart or a part of a space station. These suppositions seem to be the most accurate ones due to its size and look, since these objects are made of a strong material which can survive the reentry into the earth and remain intact. And according to the locals, this object could be a UFO “fallen from heaven”, however this hypothesis is rejected because there is no evidence of aliens.

It is also worth mentioning that similar objects have been found in other areas of the world, such as in Australia and Brazil, owing to the fact that there are thousands upon thousands of space debris which surround the planet.

In conclusion, although there are several hypotheses, the black ball is surely a space debris due to the vast amount which exists. Nevertheless, this fact is not comforting since space debris is a really serious problem whose solution is clearly difficult to implement.

"Those Green Eyes"

Today I feel inspired, that is why I have written the poem which I would really like that someone writes me. I am going to share it with all of you, I hope you enjoy reading it!

Those deep green eyes

are stuck in my mind

all day and night.

Are you a dream?

because your eyes are

too hypnotic to be real.

I’m not sure if they are

an emerald forest that

I would like to explore,

or a vast ocean full of

treasures like you.

All I know is that

those irresistible green eyes

are the place where I want to stay

all my entire life.

Could it have been worse?

The other day I was watching the photo album and I relived the moments I spent with my family when we went to London. It was a really curious journey since, although it was a short trip, just 6 days, several problems happened to us there.

First of all, the enterprise which I contracted to pick us up at the airport and to take us to the hotel, it informed me that, just the night before my family and I arrived in London, it was no longer able to pick us up. Nevertheless, we managed to arrive at the hotel. We were very upset not only because they hadn’t picked us up but also because the hotel was expensive and it looked like a run-down hotel. 

The second day, while we were going sightseeing around the city, my sister and I got sunburnt all parts of our body which were naked, in other words, legs and arms. I would also like to highlight that it was an extremely tiring journey for me due to the sunburn. Furthermore, that same day, we got to the top of the London Eye, from where we enjoyed terrific views of the city and its surroundings. While we were descending from it, we realised that someone had stolen my mother’s phone.

The remaining days were not outstanding, at least as far as I remember. However, the day we came back home there was a stormy weather, therefore we had to buy jackets and umbrellas. Moreover, I had an argument with an old lady who was sitting in my assigned seat owing to the fact that she preferred the window seat. To top it all, the flight was delayed by an air traffic control strike.

All in all, despite all drawbacks, it is a journey that deserves to be told and to be known by everyone. I will definitely go to London again because I fell in love with it from the moment I landed.
