B&B

I have recently started to see this series called B&B and shown in Telecinco. I am watching it online so I don't know if it is over or not. I think I read somewhere that they have signed for a second season... but I am not sure.

The characters all work for a magazine titled "B&B", thus the name of the series... and I would classify it as a comedy. There are very famous actors and actresses like Belén Rueda, Gonzalo de Castro, Fran Perea... and my favourite one, Dani Rovira.

Why is he my favourite one? Not only because his role, Juan, is so tender and friendly... but because I admire Dani a lot as a monologuist, and after I saw them recently as the protagonist of "Ocho apellidos vascos" I am a fan! He is so funny!!!

Here you are the presentation of this series (with a video). Give it a chance!

"La que has liao, pollito..."

A lot of us, who use Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp or Line, receive sometimes a video or a picture which is on everybody's mouth these days. This is called as a video "goes viral", and everybody is talking about it. It has happened lately with a very funny video of a little girl who is drawing on a sheet of paper while a little chick is eating corn by her side... and it seems that the cute girl is a bit annoyed with the chick... If you haven't seen the video yet, don't wait for longer... have a look! I hope you will like it.




The strange thing is how it has become a viral video... her parents recorded her and sent the video only to their Whatsapp friends... and then someone shared it with someone... and one day, they discovered that it was a huge success on Youtube!!! So they decided not to get angry and publish the complete video... Here you are the complete story of Iune (the girl) and her pollito...

Burst into tears

Do you know the meaning of this idiom? It means "to start to cry suddenly".

Have you ever burst into tears? Can you think of a situation where a person suddenly starts to cry, feeling a deep sorrow? I can. Unfortunately, I would say... I know very well how it does feel when a pain makes you burst into tears... and it is not a comfortable nice situation, but on the contrary, it feels very desperate... because when you do so, it is because you are in a great distress.

I hope nobody in this world felt this way... but I fear this is not in my hands. So many people are suffering a lot these days, and I am sure that near you someone would appreciate it a lot if you cared...

Enjoy the silence

A word has come to me... SILENCE.

What is silence? How would you define this word, and how would you explain its meaning? Difficult... I mean, it is easy to define... but not in silence.

After this word has come to me... a song has. This song. It is called "Enjoy the silence" by Depeche Mode. It was a hit in the 80s, and I remember listening to it on the radio with my sister... now it is one of the songs that go with me during my car trips.




And then... I have googled the word "silence" and I have found these three pictures related to it. I think they are so meaningful, each of them...

Silence, sometimes, speaks loud...

Contradictions...

Sometimes you live a series of contradictions... you may want something but at the same time you don't want it because... who knows...

Sometimes you like something but then you discover that doesn't suit you anymore and you finish by hating that...

Sometimes you feel like doing something... but then a person suggests or orders to do so... and you don't feel like doing it at all...

Why humans are so contradictory?

Making a short and basic film

Look at what I have just found out while surfing on the net! Dvolver.com, a website where in a couple of minutes you can create a short (and very basic) film. It must be in English, yes... but it is interesting. I have made one myself... and it has no limit of scenes, so maybe you could use that tool to a school project or simply for fun.

Have a look!

Air traffic (amazing!)

This morning a friend of mine has recommended this video on her Youtube wall, and I have to tell you that I think it will make you feel so small!

In this video we can see the air traffic that is generated above our heads. I admit I had never thought about this kind of thing before! And you?

Have a look!

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!!! :)

More vocabulary clouds (Tagxedo)

I told you about vocabulary coulds in previous posts (here and also here), but recently I found out another online tool called Tagxedo to create word clouds with some predetermined shapes. You can create those clouds with the text you type into the box or, as I have done myself, with the text of a particular website. In my case, I have typed my blog address... and Tagxedo gets the more frequent words and transform them into a shaped figure.

These are only four examples:

I hope you like this tool, and I recommend it to you in order to revise for an exam in an original way! You can also use this with your school projects.
