The last of the Mohicans. Book Vs. Film!!

Comment on your space: What are the differences between the film and the book?

The diferences between the film and the book are that the book it's not so romantic like the film, and it's like a summary of the film, and it's soo bored.... -.-

The book was so difficult to finish. It was so heavy to read.

My new band! ^^

I have a new band, and we are:

Kevin (my boyfriend) --> lead guitar.

Nessie --> vocals.

Cristian --> drums.

Aleix Serra --> bass.

Paula (I) --> ritmic guitar.

I'm so happy with this band, specially because they are my best friends, and we play our favourite music, logically.

We rehearse in Fortià every Saturday in Cristian's house.

We are going to do concert in June and some in the summer, and I'm really proud of me and my effort to reach this aim.



Now, with the band, I'm learning a lot!
Before I was in the band, some people that was in one said me that you learn a lot in a band, and it's true!!

Finally, I have to say that for me it's not difficult to combine the band and the study, but I know people that for the band, they left the studies, and now they can't return into school.



But, I'm sure I will not finish like them. :)


Paula

I finish my ESO, and now Batxillerat!!

The 23 of June I finish my ESO and I can't believe it because I this for four years!! It's a lot!!

It's incredible that now I will do what I want to. I will do the scientific batxillerat and I'm very happy. I'm sure I will be good with this batxillerat because I love biology, and the other sciences.

My way into my studies it's great and I think I will choose a good career. I'm between marine biology, biochemistry and genetics.



The next year my brother is going to be here, in the high school, and I'm very curious!
He has blond hair, but he is so similar than me. I'm going to help him with the school and the homework, but I think that he won't need me for. ^^

Skid Row - Youth Gone Wild

One song for this term!!

Skid Row - Youth gone wild.

Since I was born they couldn't hold me down / Des de que vaig néixer no hem van poder controlar
Another misfit kid, another burned-out town / Un altre noi inadaptat, un altre ciutat cremada

Never played by the rules I never really cared / Mai ha seguit les normes, mai m'ha importat
My nasty reputation takes me everywhere / La meva mala reputació hem porta on sigui

I look and see it's not only me / Miro i veig que no sóc només jo
So many others have stood where I stand / Molts altres han estat on estic jo
We are the young, so raise your hands! / Som els joves, doncs aixequeu les mans!

They call us problem child / Ells ens diuen els nens problemàtics
We spend our lives on trial / Ens passem la vida a judicis
We walk an endless mile / Caminem en una carretera interminable
We are the youth gone wild / Som els joves salvatges
We stand and we won't fall / Ens aixequem i no caurem
We're the one and one for all / Som un i un per tots
The writing's on the wall / Els escrits a la paret
We are the youth gone wild! / Som els joves salvatges!

Boss screamin' in my ear about who I'm supposed to be / El meu jefe cridant-me a l'orella sobre que he de ser
Getcha a 3-piece Wall Street smile and son you'll look just like me / Agafa tres accions de Wall Street i riu i fill aviat seràs com jo

I said "Hey man, there's something that you oughta know. / He dit "Hey tio, hi ha algo que has de saber
I tell ya Park Avenue leads to Skid Row." / Et dic que Park Avenue condueix a Skid Row."

I look and see it's not only me / Miro i veig que no sóc només jo
We're standin' tall ain't never a doubt / Ens mantenim a dalt sense cap dubte
We are the young, so shout it out! / Som joves, doncs crida-ho fort!

They call us problem child / Ens diuen nens problemàtics
We spend our lives on trial / Passem la nostra vida a judicis
We walk an endless mile / Caminem una carretera interminable
We are the youth gone wild / Som els joves salvatges
We stand and we won't fall / Ens mantenim drets i no caurem
We're the one and one for all / Som un i un per tots
The writing's on the wall / Els escrits a la paret
We are the youth gone wild! / Som els joves salvatges!

They call us problem child / Ens diuen nens problemàtics

What I'm going to do this summer!

This summer is going to be fantastic!

At first I'm going to pass some days into my house. That's for sure, because the school stresses me a lot, and I think that I will not see a book for three months. :3

I will go to one summer camp with one of my best friends, and we will pass a good time! (or this I think)

Then, during the summer, everyday I will go to the beach with rollerblades and my friends. Now, there is a new bridge in St. Pere Pescador for the people (specially the tourists) that want to go to the town and to their campings without car, and I will take this way to go to. ^^

I'm going to do tennis with Natàlia Sellés and another friend at Saturday mornings in bon relax, and then we will go to the swimming pool that it's next to the court.

Also, I'm going to help my mum with the house, and my father with his job when I want to.

And, one of the most important of the summer... THE PARTIES WITH FRIENDS!!! :3

Basically, I think i will pass the best summer of my life!


Paula

Yes, this next month I, Kevin, and Cristian are going to go to three very good concerts!

The 23 of June, we're going to go see Airbourne in Barcelona with our parents, and at 8 we will go to the sala Apollo. Then, we'll pass the night into a hotel with our family in Barcelona.



The 24 of July, we'll see KISS at Palau Sant Jordi, to KISS, our parents will go with us. Then, in the night we'll return to our house.



The 27 of June, we're going to see Aerosmith only I, Cristian, Kevin and Nessie in Barcelona.



Kevin has given this last ticket to me for our two year birthday! I gave to he one of my best paintings that I've ever done:



Well, I think that this will be one of the best end academic year of my life, and the best summer beggining!!

Caca Pupuu!!

[Blue --> Paula]
[Dark red --> Brian]

Yes, we are Brian and Paula and we're good friends (or this I think).


Caca pupuu it's a paranoid of Natalia Sellés and Brian<3.>

"Tonto", that's what I say to Brian friendly when I want to get him angry. :3 But she didn't still today.



I remember the first time we talked, in the bar of Empuriabrava, can diferent. It was really strange... She started to shout at me: Heyy!! It's nice too see you out of school!!
but I didn't understand much because the music was so loud. But it was a nice meeting :) .

Then, we began to talk in the school, because we were (and are) in the same class. We cannot explain the most information of us because this is a text of school, and we (at least, I) don't want to, it's personal.

Finally we can say that we are best friends, and we like it :D XD

or... strange friends ^^

Experiences*

Experience: I've travelled to Belgium.
Lesson: There, the people spend a lot of time in home with the family, they don't pass a lot of time outside, they prefer stay in home warmer. They eat a lot of pralines, and less fruit. The meat it's insipid, but the beer and the stewed are good.


________________________________________________

Experience: I've got a lot of diferent friends.
Lesson: There are basically three types of friends:
  • Good friends. Normally these friends are the friends of the infancy. There aren't too much persons in these group, even so, sometimes you think that you have a lot of good friends, but really you have 3, or 4. A real friend is there for the good things and the bad things. You can always take his hand if you have to...
  • Bad friends. This group is for the people that you think that are good friends, or common friends, but then, you see that they're fools. Soon, or later, or never, until they play a dirty to you. The worst bad friend that can exist it's the false, the worst person you can have around.
  • Common friends. This group include the people that you know, or you have in class, and you can rely on, but they don't understand or help you like the good friends. If you need help, they try to help you, and they are kind!

________________________________________________

Experience: Fall off bike a lot of times.
Lesson: I will not catch a bike if there is not a extreme situation, or a very good trip. I hate bicicles, and I've hurt a lot of times for them.

Concert: Airbourne?

This 25th of february I, my father, my mother, Kevin, and Cristian went to a concert of Airbourne, a very good group. His style is like AC/DC and Accept.



But, the matter is, that... THE CONCERT WAS CANCELLED!!! what a pitty. And the most impressionant is that some friends went to Barcelona in the morning, and they didn't call us...

Well, we went for a walk in Barcelona, and there was a lot of people, basically metal people, the people that was going to go to the concert, and we told between us the notice.

There were people that came from Valencia to Barcelona for the concert, and they had to drink a beer, and return to home. What a pity...



The concert will be in Barcelona the 11th of April, and we will go again to Barcelona.

What a pity that we had to return to our houses without concert, without metal!!!




Paula.

Dimebag Darrell, my idol!!

Dimebag Darrell is my idol because he was a very speacial guitarrist. He played so good and so diferent than any other guitarrist, and he was so genuine. His solos and riffs were perfect and his style was very original.



Pantera was his band, but then he went to another band, leaving Pantera. It's name was Damageplan, but all his fame and the best music he could do was with Pantera.





Now, he's dead, and now I'm gonna tell us why.

Dime has been murdered meanwhile was doing a concert the 8th of December of 2004 in a night club in Columbus, Ohio. Nathan Gale, he was 25 years old, from Marysville, he came into the club at 10 pm, when the concert has just began. Gale went to the left side of the concert hall, and he went directly to the right side, where there was Dime. Gale took Dime for the shoulder, and he shot to Dime's head two times. Dime died immediately at 38 years old.

Gale killed Halk, and Thompson, and hurting Paluska. Gale caught Brooks, but the policeman James D. Niggermeyer, the brother of Dime, shot to him in the neck, killing him.

The policeman James D. Niggermeyer went then to the jury. Niggermeyer has been declared innocent and praised. He's a hero for the fans and friends of Pantera and Dimebag Darrell. He's an hero... but, now Dime is dead, and no one can do metal like he could do it. He was the god of the thrash metal. The god of the gods of the thrash metal...


" HE CAME TO ROCK
AND ROCKED LIKE NO OTHER
WITH THE HEART TWICE THE
SIZE OF TEXAS, OUR BELOVED
BROTHER, COMPANION, MENTOR,
IDOL, AND FRIEND...
WE LOVE YOU DIME...
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN ""

If I could do anything to relive he, his power, the god, the incarnation of thrash metal music, I'll do it immediately, that's for sure. I admire you Dime, and you will never die. The comunity of metal will always remember you, and if they one day they forget you (impossible), you'll stay in my heart for ever, in my soul forever, because you are the best guitarrist that I've ever listened in the world. Your passion, your style, and your character... so hard... you'll be in our heart, and in my heart, FOR EVER!!!



I'm sure that we and I will never forget you.



R.I.P.



And the last...



For ever in our heart.

Paula

My brother!!

My brother has 11 years old, he's name is Sergi, and he's so sweet!



He has blond hair, almond-shaped eyes, and a beauty round-face, with freckles. The people says that I don't look like Sergi. But when for Carnival he put a wig hiding he's blond hair, we were so similar. They say that my brother face is like my father's, and he's body is like my mother's, and I, the reverse.



He's a little tedious, but if I compare my brother with my friend's brothers, I see that mine is the best I can't ever had. He's so respectful with my space and my privacy, and this it's very important in a teenager.

He's not like the other little brothers or sisters. He's not trying to be like me, like the other little brothers, he has his own style, and music!! But, however, now he's going to let his hair grow up, because he says that I will love him more... sometimes, he's so cute, and sometimes, he's so selfish, but, anyway...

... I think that he's the best little brother that can ever be in the world.

Heavy Metal!!!

Heavy metal is the only music that exists for me. It's passionate, hard, and POWERFUL!! It's a method to eliminate a lot of stress, and to rebel oneself. With metal, you say what you think, what you're agree and what you're not. My love to this music is incredible... If you are sad, or unhappy, hiperactive, happy..., Heavy Metal is always there. For the bad, and good things!!


Heavy metal is a expression. Heavy metal is a wide umbrella characterizing a style of music that is generally loud and aggressive. There are genres that are very melodic, and other genres that are extreme and underground.



I like all the genres of heavy metal... all the styles are impressionant. There are a lot of bands, and I know a lot of them. Sometimes, I know too much bands, and I cannot listen all, all the time.

I play the guitar, and my style logically is metal. I usually play the ritmic guitar, I'm not very good for solos. I play songs of the bands Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Judas Priest, Dio, Helloween, Saxon, Manowar, Motörhead, Skid Row, W.A.S.P., etc.
A example of one song of Iron Maiden that I play:



I'm a little lonely in this term, because there aren't girls that like heavy metal, and fewer that play instruments, or sing. It's unusual. I only find girls in Barcelona, and one in Fortià, that sings, her name is Nessie. Yes, it's awful...



There are some boys, they like to play metal with me, but they don't want to do a band because they say that the girls are not so powerful in the metal as boys. It's a stupid personality that the majority of the boys have, and I hate it!

The role in the girls in metal usually it's in the groupies. There goes a phrase that explain this simply: "Sex, drugs, and rock n' roll!!". And, exactly, the girls are the word "sex". I want to make a band with girls, and show to the world, that the girls can do heavy metal too, and better!!

But I'm the only one!! Grr... -.-''



But, anyway, I have the boys!!! My friends are usually boys... and I like it! If they have a problem, they tell you what it is, and if they are angry with you they are direct and they tell to you what is going on. The usual girls of nowdays are a little complex, and I don't understand them. I'm good with my metal friends!!

My beagle, Raig!!

Raig is a very beautiful dog. He's a beagle.

The Beagle is a little hound dog. The large eyes are brown - hazel, and are so sweet. They have a wide, pendant ears, and I think that this is one think that becomes the beagles sweet, sometimes they have a sad expression.



They are tri-color (black, brown, and white). Beagles have a distinct howl of a bark when they are on the hunt.



The beagles are so social. Always have time to have fun with you. They are very friendly, and they're not going to bit you anyway. Also, they are thiefes, and you have to take off of the table all the food.

Raig ate bleach, a lot of chocolate, ink, and burnt oil... She's so crazy!! I don't know why she hasn't died yet... she's so strange. Her howl is so deep, like a male. I think she's lesbian. Why not? It's possible in this dog.

I love she, and she loves me. Sometimes, when I and my family went walking with our two dogs, Raig did some funny things.

Look, aren't the beagles so funny?

ENSIFERUM - LADY IN BLACK (Viking metaL)

With one word...

. . . POWERFUL . . .



~ LADY IN BLACK ~

She came to me one morning / Ella va vindre a mi un matí
One lonely sunday morning / Un matí solitari de diumenge
Her long hair flowing / El seu llarg cabell volant
In the midwinter wind / En el vent del mig hivern
I know not how she found me / No sé com hem va trobar
For in darkness I was walking / Per la foscor estava caminant
And destruction lay around me / I la destrucció descansava al meu voltant
From a fight I could not win / Per una lluita que no vaig poder guanyar
Ah ah ah ... / Ah ah ah ...

She asked me name my foe then / Després ella hem va demanar el nom del meu enemic
I said the need within some men / Vaig dir la necessitat de dins d'alguns homes
To fight and kill their brothers / Per lluitar i matar els seus germans
Without thought of love or god / Sense pensar en amor o déu
And I begged her give me horses / Vaig demanar-li que hem donés caballs
To trample down my enemies / Per pissotejar els meus enemics
So eager was my passion / Tant impacient era la meva passió
To devour this waste of life / De devorar aquesta pèrdua de vida
Ah ah ah ... / Ah ah ah ...

But she wouldn't think of battle that / Però ella no va voler pensar en la batalla que
Reduces men to animals / Redueix els homes a animals
So easy to begin / Tant fàcil de començar
And yet impossible to end / I tant difícil d'acabar
For she's the mother of our men / Perquè ella és la mare dels nostres homes
Who counselled me so wisely then / La que m'ha aconsellat sabiament llavors
I feared to walk alone again / Vaig tenir por de caminar sol altre cop
And asked if she would stay / I hem vaig preguntar si ella voldria quedar-se
Ah ah ah ... / Ah ah ah ...

Oh lady lend your hand outright / Oh senyora deixa la teva mà indiscutida
And let me rest here at your side / I deixa'm quedar-me aquí al teu costat
Have faith and trust / Tenir confiança i creure
In peace she said / En la pau ella va dir
And filled my heart with life / I va omplir el meu cor amb vida
There is no strength in numbers / No hi ha força en els nombres
Have no such misconception / No tenir tal error
But when you need me / Però quan tu em necessites
Be assured I wont be far away / Estigues segura que no estaré ben lluny
Ah ah ah ... / Ah ah ah ...

Thus having spoke she turned away / Així mentres estàvem parlant es va girar
And though I found no words to say / Encara que no vaig trobar paraules per dir
I stood and watched until I saw / Vaig quedar-me dret i vaig observar fins que vaig veure
Her black cloak disappear / La seva capa negra desaperèixer
My labour is no easier / La meva labor no és fàcil
But now I know I'm not alone / Però ara sé que no estic sol
I find new heart each time / He trobat un cor nou cada cop
I think upon that windy day / Crec que sobre aquest dia ventós
And if one day she comes to you / I si algun dia ella vé cap a tu
Drink deeply from her words so wise / Beu profundament de les seves paraules saviament
Take courage from her / Agafa coratge d'ella
As your prize / Com el teu preu
And say hello from me / I digue's-li hola de part meva
Ah ah ah ... / Ah ah ah ...



***So deep...***
