Back(:

Ladies and Gentlemen, I'M BACK, back and better!

First of all let me write you a big SORRY for not writting earlier, but I couldn't find the time! I was so stressed with the school's end and all the stuff that I couldn't focus on much more than books (and friends too, of course! hihi)

But it doesn't matter now because today was my LAST SCHOOL DAY. Oh yes, I thought I would never say that sentence!
Everything turned out grate at the end, so I decided to blow all the cobwebs away here:)

Gosh there's so much to tell! That's what sucks about being disconnected a while!

Well, about my country and my city, a lot of things happened in short time, certainly. You'll surely have known about the outrages (''indignados''). Yes, they really gave to talk here. Personally I think (don't have time to explain the whole movement and to give a long opinion about it) they had to explode someday. And they did it great, organized and pacifist. It was only a question of time that someone wanted to let everybody know that this gouvernmental organization we have here is not helping the people at all.
I also think thay stayed far too long. I mean, the place where they where started to smell bad! And all the storekeepers where seriously loosing their money. Furthermore, they could have done more plans, options for the gouvernment, not just sitting in a place and shout that they're happy. I mean, I'm unhappy too, and I went there to shout a while with them, so don't understand me wrong.


What more...
Oh yes! I started a course to learn how to make my own clothes. I have always liked fashion and create my own clothes sounds so amazing! My grandma did it too, so I think I just have it in! haha
Today I actually ended my firts piece: a skirt. It's purple and veeeery simple, but I'm so proud of it!
And what I'm realising now is that I will feel bad if I now, in sale, I go to a shop and buy any clothes for 10 or 15 euros, or less. I mean, do you actually know how much work and hours it takes just to do a skirt? a lot! so I find this prices a little bit offensive fot the people who did the pieces. Although I know they may have been done by machines, but what if not?
And is this why people buys prohibitive clothes of Chanel or Armani? Because their quality ''is better'' and that's because their not made by machines? well, maybe machines don't do them, but surely young coreans or chinese do, and do customers really think that this work is paied the way it should be?
Well, I really think it had to exist a brand with good clothes, I don't care if corean, chinese o spanish people doing them. The fact is that with this brand you could be sure, that if you pay much for a piece, you're not paying the new car of the owner, but the decent salary of the workers.

So, and after all this mental revolution, let me wish you a really good time 'till you know about me again!
Be happy:))

Bye bye B.L.

I couldn't believe it when this morning I heard the news. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the ''king'' of the terrorists is dead, finally. After a lot of years looking for him and suffering his attacks, his reign is over.
The question now is: Does this change something?
In my opinion, the only thing that changes for good is the conscience of victim's families and friends, which now are clear.
I don't wish te death to anybody at all, but I can understand that these people is now feeling good as well as I understood their suffer. But maybe the country shouldn't be that proud. I mean, setting aside that he was a dread terrorist, the fact that their celebrating a death is still there.
On the other hand, I'm afraid this can trigger more brutal attacks. The murderer became a victim and now their angry and wishing revenge. They'll appoint other leader and their thirst of ''purify the land they life in'' will not end. Sincerely, I just don't see the situation better, even worse.
The fact is this day we'll be remembered as the day Bin Laden died, and maybe, hopefully, this also means terrorist aren't invincible. The only complaint is, it would be pleasent if we could deter, not kill them. I just think we're still so primitive sometimes.

Be happy.-

Home, sweet home

Not much to say yet, I still have to unpack my bags!
Although the time wasn't that good, I had much fun with my family... you know.
A couple pics of where I was, Tenerife (Canarian Islands)



And this monday school again... but there are only two months left, tralalalaaa!

OH! I almost forget it! HAPPY BOOK'S DAY! haha, dunno if you celebrate it in your country but here we do! It's the 23th april because of the death of two great autors: Shakespeare and Cervantes. The goal is to promote reading, editorials, autors, etc... I love reading and it has always been a very important day for me since I was a little child. Before, I used to write a short story every Book's Day, for me this meant to take part in this amazing world of the letters. Now I prefer to focus on my book (yes, I'm trying to write one, but it's taking a lot of time!) so I think tonight I'll try to write a little bit more... hope you all read it if I finish it!!


Be happy guys(:

PD: got twitter!! Follow me, @monica_morado

Vacation

FINALLY I'M FREE
I'm soooooooooo happy! Well, don't have much to say..
I saw Forrest Gump yesterday (Yes, I'm probably the only girl in the wold who hadn't seen it yet) I liked it, but it was a little bit non-credible. Tom Hanks was pretty good though, and his son in the movie was sooo cute!

Maybe you're wondering where a nice girl like me will go on vacation haha, well, I'm going to Tenerife. (Canarian Islands, Spain) A part of my family lives there and it's time for beach, don't you think?

I don't have much more to say now... you'll hear from me when I come back!


(can't stop hearing it!)

Have a wonderful time all of you!
Be happy(:

Snappy!

I still stressed guys! haha but you're priority, you know it!
A few little things to say...
This weekend I read Time for Outrage! It goes about not resigning yourself with the system. When I finished it I thought: Man, it was time for someone to write down what most of the people think (so do I).


I realy enjoyed it. I mean, not as you enjoy a thriller or other novels, but as you enjoy... a good speech, for example.

Oh, another important thing! I actually have a new ''Person-I-admire'' (like Mandela or Luther King). It's very unusual to hear it from me 'cause I don't convinced easily.  Maybe one of you already know him. He's name is Muhammad Yunus and he comes from Bangladesh. I had vaguely heard about him before, but this weekend I informed be about his job. In one word: Progressive. In short: he's countable and after a lot of hard work finally managed to open a self-financed bank. That's really hard in countries where religion and state are closely bound and are all what counts. But, it doesn't end here. He had the great idea to invent the microcredits. It wasn't a big cuantity of money, maybe just the needed to buy a goat or a cart (or yes, perhaps a little bit more). But enough for the daily needs of a normal family. Well, the great idea was to give almost all these credits to women. Women could administrate it better and give it to their kids, improving next generations quality of life and possibilities. Isn't it great, visionary?
The only problem is that men began to protest and hit women because they thought it was unfair and felt less important. That sucks, but I really think it was a good idea. Men are used to be the bosses, have the control. Personally I don't like it, but it's true that they have other customs and culture and we aren't allowed to judge that. Respect first!

Well and after that and to end, have you heard about Ivory Coast? It's terrible! They're killing a lot of civils!
please read about it, I'll inform you later, when I have more time, but it's important anyway!
Northafrican protests expand like gunpowder. I'm so worried if they will end up fine...

Be happy(:
