FOR HUMANS ONLY


Ok here we go. I´m not feeling too inspired to write right know but I haven´t write here for quite a while, so i have to get on track again and write something new because the old things that i wrote are getting stinky. So having that said, let´s see how it goes.

The other day, I went to the cinema and I was lucky to grab a seat and experience one of the most surprising films of the year, it´s called District 9. It´s a movie that counts whith the support of Peter Jackson as the producer, he is known in the movie industry because he was the director of movies like, the trilogy of The Lord of the rings and King Kong. District 9 is an alien science fiction flick, you may think right by now that: "Oh no, another one of those tipical, aliens come to earth-humans fight them back, win and we all stay very happy movie", well, let me tell you that you´re wrong, it isn´t. It´s about aliens and it´s science fiction but the thing here is that when the aliens arrive in their huge ship to earth, for some reason they don´t attack and their ship is apparently not moving or doing anything at all. So the humans, go to their ship to investigate what´s happening, what they find it´s that the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of their planet. Not knowing what to do with them, the humans forced them to live in a refugee camp called "District 9", until the world nations decided what to do in this extrange situation. The first thing that they decide after twenty years it´s to move them to another place and here is where the movie starts..

Well, if that isn´t different enough for you, let me tell you that it´s a movie that emphasizes more in the alien point of view, and i think that criticizes the human beings and how they do things.

I liked District 9 alot, i don´t know if it´s because it´s story; the style that they used to make the movie in a reportage kind of way at the begining and then developing the story as the movie goes; the fact that it´s a movie with a very little budget and even with that you don´t notice it on it´s special efects nor the acting; it´s amazing viral marketing, that had everyone wondering on the internet what was this movie about. I don´t know what was it, but i loved it.

If my opinion doesn´t convince you on watching it, then i must tell you that it was a blockbuster film in the US and that in the first week it raised all the money that was spend on the making.

Travelholic!


Hiii, here i am again, this time im here to talk you about my not so new but ultimately increased adiction (dont take the word adiction too seriously haha): "travels". Yes, some people are adicted to cigarretes, drugs, alcohol but in my case im beggining to get adicted to travels. In just 4 weeks i have been in Ibiza for the closing parties (im going to talk about that another time) and a weekend in Madrid.

Right by now youre surely saying or thinking: "this guy is rich or crazy", well, let me tell you that you are about right in one of them but i can assure to you that is not the rich part, a little crazy maybe.. haha.

So now you are wondering if he isnt rich and he is crazy but in a good sense, "how is possible that he is doing that?", well, the answer is simple, just one word, "RYANAIR".

What is "RYANAIR"?. RYANAIR is a "low-cost" airplane company that i dont have a clue of how they do it but i can tell you 100% sure that they offer flights so cheaper that are ridiculous, for example this last weekend that i went to Madrid, it only costed us 5 euros going from Valencia airport and returning to it, yes!, 5 euros total, its like you are taking a bus, an airplane-bus type of thing haha.

So the thing is that with this prices you can travel minimum two weekends per month without even feeling it on your wallet, getting the oportunity of meeting new places, new people, new experiences, new-new-new like the american way of thinking that we saw in class (another detail for the teacher, haha, im traveling but not missing classes haha) and that my friends gets you addicted in a good way again haha.

Now having all that said, your next question would be: "Yes, thats nice but dont you have to pay hotel to stay on those places?", yes, thats a good question and this is where you take advantage of having friends (haha that sounded bad) that are on Erasmus or live in those places, if you dont have friends, well, i recommend to you that you start making them haha, having friends is the best thing there is. In the worst scenario you can pick a hostal for 10 euros per night at most but then you are expending more money and thats not what we want because then you couldt affort it.

In conclusion the new way of enjoing your weekend with your normal student money like me comes in two words friends and "RYANAIR" haha.

Next trips marked on my calendar: Madrid-2,50€, Milan-0,02€(yes like you read it haha) and Granada-5€

BYEEEE

BINGO!


Ok, so i was here on my bedroom studying a lot for the assigment "Inglés para traductores e intérpretes" (a little detail for the teacher jeje) and i decided to write something about the last movie i saw last saturday night that was "Inglorious Basterds" or "Malditos Bastardos" in spanish.

If i say that is a movie made by Quentin Tarantino and you don´t get the picture already of what you are going to see on screen because you aren´t familiarize with Tarantino style, well, i´ll sumarize it for you, you are going to see pretty much everything that comes with the words ,blood, crazyness, violence, western style music, brilliant dialogues and all of this toguether mixed with fun, if you don´t like any of the things that i mentioned don´t get even near Tarantino´s films.

In this movie Tarantino tries to change history, making his movie about the end of the third reich but in the way he wants to, telling a series of events that never happened about two sides that are trying to assassinate the Nazi political leadership, one of them is a French Jewish cinema owner and the other one is a group of Jewish American soldiers or simply a group of people called the basterds that want to kill nazis.

Well, after saying this, my conclution is that is a very good movie, even if you don´t like blood you´re going to like it, one of my female friends kept closing her eyes everytime there was blood on screen and even that way she like it, it´s just different from any other movie so go see it. By the way is a good movie to practice languages because they talk a lot in german, french and english or spanish.

Sorry if i got too tedious, i´ll talk about another thing next time. BYE

Namaste

CAUTION: This is my first blog so if reading this causes you to feel dizzy, it makes your skin red, blue, green or whatever, makes you think that you can fly or travel in time or any normal secundary effects like the ones mentioned before please contact your medic or just click on another window and check your tuenti or facebook.

Well, having that introduction, i just wanted to say that this is the first entry to my blog that i´m going to write on along this year as a task for "Inglés para traductores e intérpretes" and it´s my first contact with blogs as you read before (so please be merciful). I don´t want to make this blog about only one subject in particular so i´m going to write about many things like movies, series, parties, translation, what was first the chicken or the egg? and stuff like that, including my own life too (but not too many details---don´t be curious--just joking) and hoping that writing on this blog becomes more than mearly a task and just a fun thing to write on and of course to read.

So, hello in advance to everyone that will read my blog or just pass by it and I hope you´ll enjoy it. BLA BLA BLA
