Cosa volevi diventare “da grande” quando eri bambino?
Quando ero piccola non pensavo mai al mio lavoro futoro. I miei amici volevano diventare un insegnante, un poliziotto o un veterinario. Io invece non avevo idea e, ad essere onesti, non mi importava. Ho gia capito presto che fare il veterinario non è solo accarezzare gli animali. Mi piaceva usare il computer, poi anche l'internet (sì, prima vivevo senza internet) e la sola cosa che sapevo "Vorrei fare qualcosa con il computer"... e andata bene. Ho fatto la programmatrice, sono stata consulente informatica, dopo la mia seconda laurea ho fatto la responsabile del progetto e oggi ho il mio proprio negozio online. In tutti questi anni mia nonna non ha mai capito esattamente cosa facendo ma fino ad oggi racconta con grande orgoglio "Mia nipote lavora qualcosa con il computer" :D

I had been wanting to learn 3D modelling for a long time, but I didn't start it. Finally, I started to learn it several days ago. I found a 7-day free course on Youtube and I have finished part of it.
I have to say 3D modelling is interesting than I thought, although it was a little boring at first because all you could do was memorizing the hotkeys and trying to get used to the basic operations.

Flow - El secreto de la felicidad
Estos días estoy leyendo el libro "Flow - el secreto de la felicidad".
Se trata de que en nuestra sociedad muchas personas están en la busqueda de cosas que les dan placer como sexo, dinero y poder.
Pero realmente la mayoria de las personas equivocan a esas cosas con simbolos de alegría o felicidad.
El autor argumenta que solamente en el estado de "flow" puedes sentirte totalmente feliz. Ese estado de flow puedes conseguir en varias maneras. Se trata de un estado cuando estás totalmente enfocado en una cosa hasta que olvidas de todos tus problemas, de tu ser en general. Ya no piensas sobre tu mismo o sobre el mundo sino el foco está en la cosa que estas haciendo.
Puedes conseguir el estado de flow cuando el reto del ejercicio y también tus capacidades y conocimientos son alineados. Por ejemplo, si juegas un juego de tenis, hay tres opciones. La primera es que juegas contra alguien que es mucho mejor que tú, entonces el reto es demasiado complicado. La segunda es cuando tu eres mucho mejor que tu oponente, entonces no tienes que usar todas tus capacidades y el juego te aburre. La tercera opción es la de flow, tu oponente tiene más o menos las mismas capacidades y el resultado del juego no es previsible. Así tienes que enfocarte perfectamente en dar lo mejor que puedas.
Eso es solo el principio basico del libro, pero hay muchisimas cosas que el autor explica muy bien. Todavia no lo he terminado, pero creo que voy a aprender mucho más hehe.

Korou No Chi
"Korou No Chi" is a movie about Yakuza. The title means the blood of a lone wolf in English. I guess the wolf is the main character, Ogami. He is a detective who seems corrupt and being deeply involved with Yakuza. His buddy is a young and elite detective, so he can't understand why Ogami behaves like that at first. However, the conflict between the two Yakuza groups is getting severe, and he realizes what's going on. This movie is very violent and criminal, but it's also intriguing.

Dia vinte e seis de agosto
Depois, nós deslocamos a central de Madrid.
Mardid há todas coisas que você pode conhecer.
Eu lembrei que nós fomos a "Puerta del Sol" (Porta de Sol).
Aquela é uma praça grande.
Nós tiramos fotos com a estátua ursa.
Então, nós vimos uma árvore de natal grande na central da praça uma vez.
A praça houve muitas pessoas, mas não muito lotado.
A Gran Vía, é perto de praça, há muitos lojas das roupas, mercados e coisas interessante por visitantes.
Eu fui emocionante quando eu pisava na terra da Europa primeira vez.
Eu achei que o vinho foi mais caro do que a água na Europa.
Embora foi no inverno, mas eu bebi bastante sangria e mojito.
Você pode foi ao Mercado de San Miguel a pé e comi comidas espanhas.
Eu comi paella, algumas tapas e sangria por almoço neste dia.

After Watching the Before Trilogy -2
3. The third film, Before Midnight, takes place 9 years after the last film, Before Sunset. Jesse and Celine are in their early 40s, now married and on a summer vacation in a Greek island.
After meeting Celine, Jesse has divorced his ex-wife and now living in France with her. The couple has two twin daughters and from time to time takes care of Jesse's son with his ex-wife. His son lives in Chicago now.
While happy with his life, Jesse feels like he should spend more time with his son, and this triggers argument between him and Celine. Besides the issue, Celine feels like she has to give up her life taking care of her husband and daughters all the time(/ daily). And she thinks that Jesse is insisting her family to move to Chicago, with him, where his son is.
In a hotel booked by their mutual friend, where they are supposed to spend a romantic night, they gets into an argument, which gets Celine to say that she doesn't love Jesse anymore. She runs out of the room.
When Jesse goes outside, Celine is sitting in a cafe alone. Jesse pretends that it is his first time meeting her and tells her she is beautiful. He then pulls out a letter written by him. He says he has travelled from the future and says that it was given to him by future Celine who is 82 and still beautiful.
The letter says that they are still happily married 40 years later and says at the end that one of the best night she's ever spent was on the Greek Island they are now in.
Celine is initially hesitant to reconcile but gives in when Jesse says that he is trying his best to keep(?) his true love, and that they are not living in a fairy tale.
4. Although the trilogy was low-budget movies, the locations and romantic yet realistic dialogue of the characters gave me a lot to think about.
I thought about what love is and if there is really a soulmate. Love seems perfect at first, but couples run into various problems as they spend long time together. As couple gets older, your partner may not look as attractive or perfect. But I liked how Jesse reached out to Celine even when she said she doesn't love him anymore. It was because, deep inside, they had trust for each other, that they are still loving each other and are willing to reconcile(?) to be together.
I hope I will be able to meet someone with whom we can devote to each other.

"Sin lugar para los débiles" parte 3
Cuando terminó la ultima entrada, Llewelyn estaba huyendo otra vez, esta vez cruzando la frontera con México. Esconde su maletín en una orilla del Rio Grande, y cruza la frontera, jugando a ser un turista borracho para burlar la guardia. Se desmaya en un parque y se despierta la próxima mañana, descubierto por una banda mariachi que dan cuenta de sus heridas y lo toman al hospital. Mientras tanto, Anton (también con muchas heridas) ha decidido retirarse y no persiga a Llewelyn a través de la frontera. Necesita medicina para la herida en la pierna, y roba una farmacia mediante una distracción. Después, busca y encuentra a un otro hombre, un cazador de recompensas empleado por el otro cártel, y tiene una conversación con él a punta de pistola. El dialogo de Anton en esta película es muy interesante. Creo que Anton a si mismo no es un personaje complejo (nunca aprendemos su historia o las razones por su comportamiento), más bien es un símbolo de fuerzas naturales y el papel de "destino" en la vida. En esta escena, por ejemplo, el cazado de recompensas ruega a Anton por su vida, pero Anton le dice "Debes admitir tu situación. Habría más dignidad en eso." En esta manera, Anton nos dice que a veces, creemos que tengamos mas poder sobre nuestras situaciones que en realidad.

Comment j'ai rencontré ma meilleure amie
Nicki, c'est pour toi.
Quand j'avais dix ans, j'ai changé mon école. Ce fut une expérience inconfortable, surtout parce que je suis un vrai introverti. Ce jour-là, j'étais terrifiée à l'idée de rencontrer tant de nouvelles personnes dans un environnement complètement nouveau. Ce matin-là, je suis allé à l'école à sept heures. Il y avait cette table où une classe prend le petit déjeuner ensemble, mais je ne savais pas quoi faire parce que je ne connaissais personne là-bas. Puis, il y a eu une voix qui m'a appelé: "Salut, tu es la nouvelle étudiante, n'est-ce pas? Viens manger avec notre classe!", qui a complètement brisé la glace. À partir de ce moment, nous étions les meilleurs amis jusqu'à ce jour. Surprenant, non? Un introverti et un extraverti qui sont les meilleurs amis.
C'est notre histoire, merci pour lire et au revoir !

Otavalo
Después una hora y media llegamos en Otavalo. El amigo de Grace me dejó por una parada de autobús. Tuve que tomar uno bus más ir a Apuela. No hablé español. Recordaba qué mis padres me dijeron “¡Ecuador es muy peligroso!”. El bus llegó y me senté en la parte delantera al lado de un anciano. Las indicaciones: después de Apuela y por el puente, busca una parada de autobús azul. Aunque estaba muy cansado no pude dormir. Busqué afuera y sentía como estaba alucinando. Traté de escuchar música: On the Beach por Neil Young.

このホラーゲームを二度としたくない！（でも多分明日にする）
こんにちは、皆さん。
今日の日記の話題は私の昨日したホラーゲームです。
Steamの新しい「Granny 3」と言うゲームです。
実は、私はホラーゲームが苦手なんですが、友達が「この怖いゲームを一緒にしたら全然怖くないよ。」と言いました。
だが、それは大間違いでした。
ゲームを始めた時、たくさんの悲鳴をあげたり、「あぁぁ、こわい！」っていったりしました。
このゲームの骨子について、主人公は恐ろしい夫婦の家の地下に閉じ込められています。
そして、家から逃げる方法を探します。もし、五日間を立ってまだ逃げられなっかたら、ゲームがすぐ終わる。
このゲームはたくさんの驚き要素があるから、すごく怖かったです。
結局、５～６時間を立ってゲームを完了できませんでした。5～6時間！めっちゃ時間を掛かりすぎました！
そして、YouTubeの実況者の動画をみて、どうやって逃げるかをやっと解りました。
皆さんはもし怖いのがすきなら、おすすめです！でも、私と同じ怖いことが苦手なら、「Granny 3」をしない方がいい！
ここまで読んでくれてありがとうございました！

After Watching Before Trilogy
The well-known indie classic, the Before Trilogy, consists of Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and Before Midnight. Each sequel is released 9 years after the previous one, and aging of the actors adds to the reality of the film.
1. Jesse and Celine first meet in a train that connects European cities. Jesse is an American guy, in his mid 20s, traveling European cities, and Celine is a French girl, attending college and just going back home after visiting her grandmother in Budapest.
The two are just strangers initially, but after they chat for a bit, the two soon feel intrigued with each other and develop a connection. When the train stops in Vienna, Jesse asks Celine if she would like to spend a day with him in the city. Celine agrees.
They roam around the beautiful city, chatting about their candid thoughts on broad range of topics, from life, love, sex, and politics, etc. Jesse confesses that he has come to Europe to meet his girlfriend, but she has broken up with him.
They feel drawn to each other and end up spending a night together. With Jesse having to leave to the US for a flight, they promise to meet in the same spot, 6 months after.
2. (9 years later)
Jesse has written a book about his experience with Celine and it becomes an international best seller. He does a reading in a bookstore in Paris and meets interviewers from the press. While he is being interviewed, his eyes catch Celine, who has read his book and came to see him.
Although Jesse has to leave to the US soon (again), the two starts to chat and catch up about their life.
Jesse had gone to Vienna 6 months after the date they met, but Celine couldn't be their because her grandmother's funeral was on the same day that they were supposed to meet. Jesse laments that their lives would have been so much different if she had been there.
Meanwhile, Jesse has married his college girlfriend and has a son. Celine has become an environmental activist. While they seemingly live a satisfactory life, they confess to each other that they haven't forgotten about their day spent together in Vienna. In fact, Jesse wrote his book in the hope that he might be able to see Celine again. He confesses that his married life isn't happy at all, and loveless.
Jesse takes her home and ends up being at her apartment. Celine, who also composes songs, sings one of her songs, which is about their unforgettable day in Vienna. She says Jess is going to miss his flight, and he says "I know."

Which do you prefer? Students alone or in groups
Some students prefer to study and do homework alone. Others prefer to study and work on class assignments with a group of fellow students. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
To me, I definitely think that studying and doing homework alone is the best option. I feel this way because students can manage their own time and it’s easier to concentrate alone instead of being in a group.
First of all, the reason that why I think doing academic stuff alone is better is because students can manage their own time without depending on others. I mean, students can perform their own study schedules. I remember when I was a university student, I enjoyed studying, doing homework, and preparing lab reports alone. For me, it was very comfortable doing my stuff alone instead of studying with others. You don’t need to be concerned about your partner’s schedule or find free time to match with others, just find your time and do it.
Secondly, I believe that studying requires a high level of concentration. It means that students need a perfect place and environment for getting this one. That’s the reason because I’d rather study alone instead of others, if you study alone, you’ll get a perfect concentration in your studies. But what would it happen if you study with others? So, probably you won’t concentrate efficiently. I had an experience in my master’s studies. When I was studying for my final project, suddenly two classmates appeared at the café where I was, and they started talking and asking me some questions about the final. I was open to help them, but those actions gave me a loss of concentration, therefore I could finish my final project on that day. If I had been alone doing my final, I would have finished on time and I could have prepared my presentation.
To sum up, in my opinion studying alone have some advantages instead of in groups because I can manage my own time and make my own decisions in situ, and it is easy to concentrate when you are alone because anyone can disturb you.

Los talibanes cierran los aeropuertos para los afganos
Este miércoles los medios de comunicación internacionales han informado que los afganos que buscan abandonar el país por el aeropuerto de la capital ahora corren riesgo de quedar atrapados. En un comunicado el talibán anunció que acaba el plazo para que los ciudadanos puedan entrar al aeropuerto. A partir de ahora va a limitar a que solo los extranjeros embarquen los vuelos que van a despegar de la capital. Este suceso ha conmocionado a muchos que temen la potestad afgan y a aquellos que se preocupan por el retroceso de las libertades que fueron obtenidas durante la época de presencia de las tropas estadounidenses. Aunque los líderes talibanes aseguran de que se les vaya a tratar a las mujeres con dignidad, estipulan eso bajo la ley islámica. Esa condición causa recelo en expertos que han señalado que en los años noventa durante el último régimen del taliban las mujeres estaban reprimidas. En ese entonces no pudieron salir de la casa sin estar acompañadas de un hombre.

Is Facebook make people happy?
I just met someone in the class. Then, they suddenly asked me if I have a Facebook account. How many times I said that I don't have it. To be honest, I do not like SNS.
Some people are addict to type stories about their daily lives in Facebook. There is no hesitation to post their families' faces and private pictures. In fact, they are really satisfied with it. Why does this phenomenon occur in modern society in the world? What are those people chasing? When they show off their deluxe and gorgeous honeymoon pictures in a public, they would be under illusion and might think they are celebrities. I think they want to get social approval from many people. Scary thing is that some robberies broke houses because owners' of houses showed too much information of their houses go through SNS without any thought of risks.
In the contrast, my father and younger brother are concentrate to hide private. For example, my father really doesn't want to invite anyone in his house except our relatives in order to conceal inside of the house. When my brother go out from the house, he will check if anyone walk in front of the house. In case, there are people around there, he will wait until they will disappear. I think that are too much careful and unusual.
