Acampada!!

The last 12 (monday) of may to 16(friday), we went to camping, we have gone to north of Spain, to estella, the first hostel, the second was in rialp.

We have done a little part of the way of Santiago, it was very beautiful, the forest, the littles towns, the fields, very very beautiful.

Also, we have gone to Jaca, to roncesvalles, we did rafting, it was impresionant, with the boats, the neoprene was very rare, and the waves of the river!. We have gone to a national park in the mountain and a lake, and another with cascades, but it was dirty.

And the last day, we went to Caldea, in Andorra!

Caldea was impresionant, it is a spa, but very very big, with a big pool, inside and outside, with two saunas, Turkish bath, roman bath, and more things, it was the best!

And after that, we went to a commercial center, very strange.

Easter!

This easter I have stayed at home.

I will go to skiing, but my grandmather falled ill, so I stayed in Valencia.

I didn't do anything interesting, I met my friends, I ate in restaurants, I read comics, i play computer games, etc.

I ate the easter "mona" withe the easter egg.

I visited a part of my family, it was very good.

I did my homework, and nothing more.

What is easter?

The christian easter commemorates the resurrection of Jesus.

The holidays varies between the 22 of march and 25 of april.

the easter was celebrate with the easter jew, but with the "conciliate of Nicea" they separate it.

That holiday determinies other holidays, like the Ascent, or the "Pentecostés".

FALLAS!!
The last fallas finished the 19 of march, the day of "la cremà", when all the fallas monuments burn to finish the holidays. but this year, after fallas was Easter.
I rent a flat in the distric of Carmen with a friends of Barcelona.
And I stayed there all the fallas holidays.

I have seen so much "ninots", I think that the "Nou Campanar" was the best, and it won the prize!
And all the fallas I was in my "casal", with the friends, throwing bangers, eating "buñuelos" with chocolate, etc.
It was very funny.
The day of the "ofrenda" I dress up, with tipical clothes of Valencia, and I walked 2 hours to the Virgins seat, although it don't believe in God, it was good.
I have seen mascletàs, la nit del foc, etc.
And to finally the fallas, the "cremà" the best day and also the worst day,
the besst because I think is the last day, when you have to pass it happy, and because the ninot burns.
and the worst because the fallas finish, the ninot burns also, it's sad because it's very pretty, and because you have to said goodbye to your friends to the next year...

This fallas was the best!

THIS IS ENGLAND
I think that This is England is a very good film, based in the 80's, about a group of skinhead, and a little boy, who in the school the people make bullying to he, and who aslo is influenced by a skinhead gruop.
This film shows the urban tribes of the 80's, and the relationship between skinhead.
Been a skinhead don't significate that is a racism people, or antifascist, it's another urban tribe, but with different thoughts and a little bit of violence. Within this, there are differents tipes, the film, shows at the begining a normal group, but when arrive some people, it becames to bad, it becames to a nacionalist, fascist, and racist.
I think that this film is very very good, I like it very much, and give me some information that I haven't know.

OUR PLANET!

Our planet it's our house, the most important thing in the universe for us, but if we don't preserve it, and we don't take care of it, we destroy all the good things in it, and our live.

The humans do very bad things.
Today, one of the most imprtant thing, and that the TV, newspaper, etc. in general the publicity, inform but we haven't pay atntion is the greenhouse effect, with teh pollution of cars, the factories, etc.

That is very bad, it produce a hole in the ozone layer, and that it's a very important problem, and also, another thing: When the infrared rays, enter into the earth, a cause of the pollution, it bounces into the particules of pollution and don't exit out of the earth, and it will be hotter, by this, today the temperature of the earth it's hotter than 20 years before.
And the south and north Pole are melting, and each day more quickly than yestreday.

With the new construction of buildings, camps of golf, hotels in the beach, etc. the deforestation of forest are a very big problem, without plants, we can't brath.

Today are so much species in extintion, because the hunters hunt some species to catch the money.

And for finish we have to reuse, and recycle, the paper, the plastic, the crystal, the bottles, anything that we can recycle.

If we don't pay atention about this things, the world will go to the been.
We are destroying all the good things taht we have, and if we don0't preserve it, we will lost it. And the worst, our site, our lives.

-The Hurricane Dean.

-The earthquake in Perú
-Puerta, the soccer player of Sevilla.

When I was in Mexico, the hurricane "Dean" was formed, and it have gone to the Peninsula of Yucatan, and I was there, but I had so luck, becaus I was in the Riviera Maya, in the state of Quintana Roo, and "Dean" have pass In the north of Yucatan: Chetumal.

And after in Santa Lucía, Martinicia, Dominica, Puerto Rico, República Dominicana, Haití, Jamaica, México.

It have the 5th category, and was the first hurricane of the year, and the most haed after Wilma.

The hig speed of the hurricane was 270 km/h.

Quintana Roo were in warning, and in the hotel we went to other rooms, because we were in the third plant, and we went to the fuirst plant in other villagge of the hotel, but not for the danger, because the doctor and the personal of the hotel went to the rooms to give so food for dinner, and they won't that we were all the people near there.

And in the hotel the hurricane was clouds, rain and wind.

So I am very lucky, but the people of Jamaica, chetumal, etc. aren't, and the hurricane is so dangerous, and they live with it all the years...

He die in the first match of the Spanish tournament, playing with the Getafe.

He die becaus it had a cardiac shutdown, and finally he die in the hospital.

And then, in the mathes after the die, the players of the clubs have did a tribute to he, and this is very noble.

SUMMER!!

The last wednesday I return to Valencia, I went to the "riviera Maya", in the peninsula of Yucatán, in Mexico!!

I stayed in Mexico two weeks, and I went with two friends of my fathers and his two children, the small is called Alvaro and he have 12 years old, and the girl, Alejandra have 15 years old...

My brother Arturo, and Alvaro, always eating or drinking, becaus in the hotel it was all inlucded, and always, alway with some food or drink in the hand...!! jeje They have a very good holidays in Mexico, and they have fun very much, I sometimes went with they, but follow its rate is very dificult!!

The hotel was a resort, and it's fantastic, with two big pools, with many bars and restaurants, and the best... the hotel is situated in front of the sea, in the "villages" ( it si called the blocks of rooms) part of the jungle, and also around the resort, with big trees, and animals... the hotel is very good, it respect the fauna, in the same hotel are living too much animals of different species.

The sea is impresionant, the water is transparent, you can see the fishes, and in our beach, not were so much waves in the sea, becaus 100 meters towards within the coast, there it had a very long chorale barrier, very pretty with too muc fishes in it, and the waves hit it and in the border it was very small.

We did 4 excursions, one to Xel·Ha (is aquatic natural park), Xcaret (is another aquatic natural park, but similar to a zoo), Tulum (a reconstructed Mayan town), and Cobá (also a reconstructed Mayan Town, but I think better than Tulum).

In Xel·Ha we had a floater to descend the river with salad and candy water, in the jungle with manglares/swamp(Idon't know the traduction), it's very pretty, with many animals and fishes...

Xcaret is similar to Xel·Ha, but in this you have life jacket, glasses and fins, and you make a route in a river under a cave, so it's fantastic!!, and also a zoo with much tropical animals.

Tulum, a Mayan town, very good, beautiful, and the best is the mirror, in front of the sea, in a very big cliff, fantastic!

Cobá, also a Mayan town, but better than tulum, because there are in the jungle, and the constructions aren't very reconstructed, and the tallest mayan piramid is in it, with 124 steps, and we come up, very easy, the difficult is to come down, there are so tall, and is dangerous!!

And to finish... the hurricane Dean!!

But we were situated near the hurricane, but far.

In the next entrie I will talk about the hurricane, the earth quake in Peru and the fires...

so... bYe Bye!!!

(when I did the foto I was in the airport) :P

STOP BULLYING!!

Is the harassment and the verbal mistreat between students and is quite common in the in the center educative.

Tipes of bullying:

1-Direct harassment: it is the form commonest between the children. Physical fights and aggressions.

2-Indirect harassment: it's commonest in the girls, and in the preadolescence. It's characterized to try the individual social isolation. the isolation obtains by means of varied techniques: spread rumors, reject the social contact with the victim, etc...

-Verbals: such as insults, motes, speak badly of somebody, rumors...

-Psychological: threats to obtain something of the victim, and to exert power on the he or she.

-Physical aggressions: fights, beatings, , small thefts...

-Social isolation: marginalizing, ignoring its presence and not counting with he or she in the class activities.

I don't like it, is very cruel and bad, the person who suffers bullying suffers very much. In the school (Ecuela 2) the teachers explain the action, and nobody win, all of theme lose. I think, the person who suffer... his or her live is bad... and we can solve that, but the people don't do case.

The bullying is bad and it is necessary to avoid it!!
