Funny videos about cats

Well, as you know I have got two cats that are my furbabies :) and since having them I am a cat-person, that means that every little thing related to cats gets my attention quickly. Thus, I want to show you some funny videos about cats, having cats and cat-related daily routines. I hope you enjoy them!

This video is about before versus after having a cat in your life. For me it is very funny, as I didn't know things are like this... but they really are!!





And this is soooooooo funny... I love this type of videos where humans imitate cat's behaviour!!



Tell me what you think about cats or these videos!

Trailerbooks

Do you like reading?

No? Why? Maybe you haven't found "your book" yet. I think there is always a perfect book for every person which "wakes up" the love for books. My only advice is... keep on trying yours!

If you have answered "yes", welcome to a fantastic and endless source of joy and entertainment. As I personally know, reading can be very very addictive and funny, but the pleasure of reading is very subjective and even intimate to be fully explained. You have to "live it to understand it"...

By the way, do you know "trailerbooks"? I have recently found them out. Trailerbooks are "trailers" about books, so they give a glimpse to what is the book about... like a trailer does with its film.

Last week some students of 3rd of ESO (bookworms like me) asked me about my favourite book ever. My answer was fast and clear, I have no doubt... because I consider this book as a mixture of all the ingredients I love most in a book: love, action, mystery, sorrow, loss, friendship, adventure, magic... It has all of them

The title is "LA SOMBRA DEL VIENTO" (In English, it was translated as "The shadow of the wind") by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. I bought it in 2005 and I am going to re-read it soon for a literary workshop.

But my first idea for this post was to speak about trailerbooks, so I am going to show you some of the best trailerbooks I have found on YouTube about this book. Some of them were made by students as school projects.

What do you think about trailerbooks? Would you like to do a trailerbook for a book project? Let's think about this. And actually, after having seen these trailerbooks of "La sombra del viento", do you feel like reading this book? Tell me!!!

Interesting websites

Sometimes I find interesting websites that I consider worth sharing with other people. In this case, I would like to show you this website called Boredpanda which is frequently updated. The posts can be about anything... but they usually have one thing in common... the photos are incredible.

As Halloween is celebrated this week, now the main part of the posts are around this topic, as you can even see in the website design.

In this website you can find very weird posts about amazing things, funny facts about something, incredible photos, supertender pictures with puppies, kitties... have a look and tell me if you don't find some thing that catch your attention! It is impossible!!!

I encourage to choose one and show it in your blog and talk a bit about this. Which one would you chooose? I am very curious.

For example, scrolling down the webpage I have seen one that has attired my attention: a post about the most strange crisps flavours around the world. Have a look!

Songs that ease my mind

Songs that make me feel better.
Songs that make me smile.
Songs that I consider as relaxing.
Songs that help me to disconnect.
Songs that wake me up.

... A lot of categories of songs that save me from sadness, boredom or worries.

If there is a group with a song for each situation, this is COLDPLAY. No, you can't be the only person in this world that isn't aware of my favourite music band. They are fantastic. Their songs are sublime.

Don't you think so?

Paradise, The scientist, Fix You, Yellow, Strawberry swing, Another's arms, Always in my head, Atlas, Christmas lights, Clocks, God put a smile upon your face, True love, Us against the world... I could go on and on and on... and mention every song.

But now, in this moment, these days my favourite one, the one I like most, the one I can't get tired of listening to it once and again is...

MAGIC.



I have no words. I think it is simply... PERFECT. As magic is always...

Thoughts about photography

Do you like photography? I think it is very interesting and it is an art. As a very clumsy and non-type art person, I am so fond of people who are able to capture some aspects of life that are astonishing. For example, I usually have a look at science magazines like "Muy Interesante" or "Quo" and I always find incredible photos, like these ones.

As you can see, they are very different from each other, but each one is very powerful, in my opinion. They make me think a lot about what I am watching in each photo... for some minutes.

I love also very old photos that show unknown people. Some of them speak volumes (this means they tell a story about something, a very powerful story indeed!). For example,

I can spend a very long time imagining the personal stories behind all these people. Where did they live? Did they have a good life? Were they happy?

Yes, I am very curious and I love guessing stories...

My cat from hell

As I have explained in the previous post, I am very keen on watching as many cat-related videos as possible... and I recently discovered an American TV programme called "My cat from hell"... it is similar to "El encantador de perros" (In the American version it is called "The dogs' whisperer") but in this programme you can see cat owners who are really desperate because their cat's bad behaviour... sometimes it is about a cat who is too shy, sometimes the cat is too aggressive, biting and scratching the owners... a lot of problems can happen, and the cat expert, Jackson Galaxy, always offers a series of steps and advice to be followed in order to solve the cat behaviour problems.

It is very interesting, as I am a recent cat adopter and I have no previous experience with cats! If you are also a cat lover, I recommend this programme to you.

Simon's cat

As some of you already know, I have recently adopted two female cats, and I am absolutely fond of them since the very moment I saw them... I had never thought about having pet cats, but something changed inside me... and now I am another cat lover! :)

I am reading a lot about cats, and I am also interested in cat magazines, cat guides and cat documentaries... but believe me when I say that I am a real fan of Simon's cat... the protagonist of this Youtube series! If you like cats, or even if you don't like them... I recommend this series to you. It is very funny!

Here you are all the episodes (one follows the other, and there are not enough Simon's cat videos in my opinion, they are too short and so funny!!!)




If you see some of these videos, please let me know your opinion about them!!! :)

Goosebumps (2)

I suppose I am the last person on earth to have seen this video... it seems all my friends know it! But, just in case you haven't discovered the magic of the first year in Ward's life... just have a go.



Ward was born too early... two months and a half before he was expected to be born. He weighed about 700 grames... and as his mum hold him in her arms, his dad started to record (he is a professional photographer). Now, a year later, he has made a video as a present for his wife (Ward's mum), and also as a tribute to the hospital staff. It is incredible how tiny and fragile was Ward at the very beginning of the video... and what he looks like now, a year later.

What is happiness?

I have just found a friendly Facebook webpage about tiny details in life that make you feel happy... They welcome any new ideas, so if you want to suggest your own happiness moments, send them your ideas!

This is the page (click on the photo)

Here I show some of my favourite happiness moments... 

It has been difficult to choose... up to now, there are 2163 happy pictures!!!

I love autumn

I love autumn. It is indeed  my favourite season. Why? There are a lot of reasons to like autumn... Here are some.

Autumn is romantic. In autumn you can take the most amazing photos, because autumn landscapes and colours are special.

Autumn is fresh. Not so cold as winter, but not so hot as summer. The weather is cool in the morning and at night, but it is very hot at midday. You can still go to the beach and sunbathe a little... but you don't get "crispy" like in summer.

In autumn there are a lot of festivities and fairs in the nearby towns. You can also celebrate Halloween, Saint's Day, the Valencian Community Day, The Hispanic Day, the Constitution Day... so we have a few days off to have a rest and relax a bit.

There are some special days for me to celebrate during autumn. 

October and November are my favourite months. 

One of my favourite songs is called "Octobre". 

One of my favourite films is called "Sweet November".

And finally... Autumn is just before Christmas season...

What about you?

Do you like autumn as well? Is it your favourite season?

Wow! 1

I have just found and seen this HD video and I have rushed to my blog to share it with all my students.

I think we are not usually aware of where we are living... the Earth. It is so amazing, so wonderful... This time this video was made from the photos taken by the International Space Station. I have run off of words to describe what I feel so... WOW! could make it.

Have a look, and tell me your opinion, please!!

My favourite parts are the storm ones. Lightings are so flashy!

A man reading a poem...

I am not very keen on poetry... I only like some Becquer or Neruda poems... but in general, I don't like poetry.

So, when I discovered this man reading this poem in the TV talent show "Tú sí que vales" I got so amazed... I think he has an awesome voice, perfect for reading those poems.

Here you are one of the poems read by Rafael Turia. He makes the videos too... with such beautiful images, with that subtle nice music!



He is not the author, but I think he has got a perfect voice for poetry...

And you? Do you like poetry?

I can't live without... my Kindle

As I have tell you a lot of times, I am very fond of books and reading. When I knew about e-readers, I thought that it was a silly invention... because I really appreciate the smell and touch of a paper book, a "real book" as I said... And I also considered that reading on a small screen is a bit silly if I can read in the computer screen! And it is more tiring for the eyes than reading on a "paper, real book".  But then a very good friend showed me her Kindle and I was a bit surprised to see that it has got a very good resolution, it is  so pleasant to read on it! It has got a special screen with "e-Ink", that is, a special technology to read electronic books.

And then, the amount of space and money that you save thanks to the Kindle!! I read now more than before... in two months (I got my Kindle as a Christmas present) I have already read 25 books!!!

I have taken my Kindle in two long train trips to Barcelona, and time passed so fast that I was amazed!

I can't live without... coffee

What are those things you first thought you would't like... and now are so important in your life?

For example, when first mobile phones appeared, I didn't think I would have one. I can proudly tell you that I am not hooked to Whatsapp or something like that, but I admit that it is a great invention.

Another thing that I didn't like at first... COFFEE! When I was a teenager, I thought that it would be impossible that something so bitter would please me so much... but it really does!

I confess... I am not a person until I have had my first morning coffee!

And you? What do you think of mobile phones or coffee?

Song to cheer you up: Scatman's World

Sometimes you have a hard day... you feel tired, too tired... even to smile is an effort... so you have a very tough day, then!

I have a "collection" of very personal songs which I use to cheer me up when I feel a bit down... for me, they are infallible! I am sure you also have some of them... because if you listen to them, you start feeling better!

I encourage you to share your collection of "cheer up songs". My first one is this:




This song is  eighteen years old!!!! So probably you haven't listened to it before... but I am sure your parents have. Could you please show it to them and ask them about their opinion? It would be great that your parents (or other relatives) became part of your blogs ;)

By the way... This song was released in 1995... I was 16 years old... (I am getting depressed :P !!!
I liked this and another song by the same artist. He was already an old man when he got famous singing these two energetic and funny songs... so maybe it can help us to think about fighting for our dreams! Never is too late!!!!

I hope you enjoy this song. I am going to share some of my favourite songs with you, and I would be pleased to write about your opinions... either you like it or you don't!

La pluie

En géneral, les gens n'aiment pas les jours pluvieux. Cependant je ne suit pas la tendance, car j'adore la pluie et les jours pluvieux. Surtout si, comme aujourd'hui, je ne dois sortir de chez moi. Alors, j'aime bien me préparer un bon café et alors, je m'étends sur le canapé avec un livre et une couverture... et j'adore passer le temps comme ça, en écoutant la pluie qui frappe les fenêtres...
