    <title>Westerkerk : Humans tend to complicate their lifes. (0)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

Humans tend to complicate their lifes. Of course, as 'The Police' sang in the seventies, we live in a material world. Our modern society was invented to buy things. The idea is simple: the most you buy, the better you feel. But in my opinion, our lifes should be easier than that. What pleasure can someone find owning all the gold in the world? I meet some people who have everything: a good job, an expensive car, a big house, a beautiful couple... but instead of that, you won't find happiness in their eyes. They feel uncomplete on their own, they are dead in life. As I said, living is quiet simple. In my case, I'm happy when I do three favourite things that I have in my life and that I can do at the same time. I'm satisfied to go running twice in a week while I listen to music and enjoy the views on the mountain. If I could I would go running more often, but it's difficult due to my job and all the housework that I have to do at home. So running, listening to music and the views on the mountain are my three favourite things. The best is that I can do all three at the same time. To me it's relaxing. I feel tired, of course, but much better. I reset my mind and during the run I forget my troubles. In fact, living is not having everything, it's to find something that makes you feel as if you had everything.

    <title>Westerkerk : My new life (1)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

I decided to change my life, I started with a haircut!! but it wasn't sufficient!! And I moved to Barcelona!! I live here from last October! <br />I can see the sea from my terrace, and I see 'Sagrada Familia'<br />I like Barcelona, it is close to many sites like 'Costa Brava', 'France', 'Andorra'... I like knowing new places!! <br />I like walking aroun the city, near the sea, but I have not gone to the mountain yet.<br />At this time of the year the people eat 'calçots' . It is like a little onions, but the best of this food is the sauce!<br />I'm happy because I have a special person living my expirience!!!<br />Now <br />

    <title>Westerkerk : ;) (1)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

A veces el silencio dice mas que mil palabras...a veces una mirada penetra mas que una lanza...a veces un gesto hace mas feliz que un beso...a veces un beso embriaga mas que el vino...a veces un abrazo quema mas que el fuego...a veces un momento se vuelve eterno...y a veces un sueño parece cierto aunque sea incierto...<br /><br />Sometimes the silence says more than a thousand words...sometimes a look penetrates more than a spear...sometimes a gesture makes more happy than a kiss...sometimes a kiss drunk more than the wine...sometimes a hug burns more than fire...sometimes one moment becomes eternal...and sometimes a dream seems certain though is uncertain...<br /><br /><br />

    <title>Westerkerk : English-Spanish-English (3)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

Since I write here, I have observed that Spanish students (estudiantes de español, no estudiantes españoles) have difficults with some prepositions like "por" and "para", the masculin and femenin gender, and the conjugates with singular and plural person, and the most common error and difficult for them is the subjuntive. <br />We use this mode for wishes, possibilities...I´ve found a good page, but some explanations are in Spanish...I write it down, and I hope that it will help you!!<br />http://www.livingspanish.com/<br /><br />

    <title>Westerkerk : Last night (1)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

Last night we was in Madrid. There were many people! Bars were full, the streets were crowled! We walked around streets, I love walking while to talk with good company...<br />We were hungry and we entered into a little italian restaurant. We sat in a small room, we were alone! <br />We ate delicious paste and sweet dessert! I had a piece of chocolate cake! Wow!! It was like being in paradise!! <br />After that, we went to a calm/quiet bar, and we had drinks.<br />When I come home, I was tired, but I slept like a baby!!!<br />It was fun, and I hope someday I can have a date like this!! <br />Men today are boring! Not all fun is go to the cinema, to go shopping or to go to the disco...There are many fun places, like theater, walk in the park, or to eat something alone in the hood!! What little intelligence!!!<br />It is a joke! But few men are original! <br />Last night we stayed in a beautiful site, where you can see many lights from Madrid!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />La pasada noche estuvimos en Madrid. ¡Había mucha gente! Los bares estaban llenos, las calles abarrotadas! Caminamos por las calles, me encanta caminar mientras hablas con una agradable compañia!<br />Estábamos hambrientos y entramos en un pequeño restaurante italiano. Nos sentamos en una pequeña habitación, ¡estábamos solos!<br />Comimos pasta deliciosa y dulces postres! Yo tomé un trozo de tarta de chocolate! Guau! Fue como estar en el paraíso!<br />Después de eso, fuímos a un bar tranquilo, y tomamos unas copas.<br />Cuando llegué a casa, estaba cansada, pero dormí como un bebé!<br />Fue divertido, y espero algun dia, poder tener una cita como esta!<br />¡Los hombres de hoy en día son aburridos! No sólo lo divertido es ir al cine, ir de compras o a una discoteca...Hay muchos sitios divertidos, como el teatro, pasear por un parque, o comer algo en el campo solos! ¡Qué poca inteligencia!<br />¡Es una broma! ¡Pero pocos hombres son originales!<br />La pasada noche nosotros estubímos en un lugar precioso, donde tu puedes ver muchas luces de Madrid!<br /><br /><br />

    <title>Westerkerk : We have a problem!! (3)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

Wow!! I never thought it would be fun to go to work! And today, Monday!!<br />One of my co-workers came to work all days crying. She worked with us since October to last Saturday. She never spoke to anyone. It was strange. I always spoke with her, but she gave me short answers and both edges. <br />But last Friday it finished...She discussed with charge of the store, and she left work. On Friday afternoon my co-worker came to work, after she spoke with our boss (boss like "Hugo Boss" always I read it, I remember my boss :( ...)and her attitude was stupid with other partners and me. On Saturday morning, she had to work, but she only was at work half an hour!!! The charge of the store kicked her out of the store!!! They discussed again. <br />Now there are a complaint to my ex-co-worker, and our boss came to the shop to speak with us.<br />He told us something about our sales...Always is too little for them...If I win all of my sales...I will be very very very happy!!! <br />I´m ranked 314 of 967...but it´s a shit for them...It´s perfect for me, but I have to sell more for my personal economy, and my job.<br />Thanks for your time and corrections!!<br /><br />

    <title>Westerkerk : Last year (6)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

Last year I was in Amsterdam. I miss it...<br />We had sunny days! It is strange there, because all days is raining. <br />We visited "Den Haag", and we went to the beach! Beautiful beach!!! But water should be very cold!! I didn´t try it!<br />I´d like to live in Amsterdam for one year, people is wonderful, the streets are special,the sound of the tram, the buildings, the bike...<br />If someday you will go to Amsterdam, you should look at people´s legs!!! It´s long and stylized, thin and hard!<br />I could see people from every country!! <br />We went to Delft, a small village in Nederland. It is small, quiet, impressive to me. There, in Delft there are a high tower, where we climbed. <br />We walked around the village, and we sat on a bench, in front of one of the chanel, near from us, there were a bridge, but it wasn´t a normal bridge, it was drawbridge!! I didn´t see ever a drawbridge in Spain. I like the drawbridge!!!<br />If I could I will go to Amsterdam now! <br />

    <title>Westerkerk : A little idea! (4)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

Yesterday I watched some videos from youtube.<br />I watched The Simpsons in English, for my pronuntiation. I need to practise it, but English speakers talk very fast! When you talk in Spanish you say all letters, but in English...you lose some letters by the way! <br />I listen a lot of English songs and I try to sing it, but it sounds strange!!!Luckily the car took the windows rolled up!! And nobody listen to me!!<br /><br />Ayer vi algunos videos en youtube.<br />Ví Los Simpsons en inglés, para mi pronunciación. Necesito practicar, pero los hablantes ingleses hablan muy rápido! Cuando tu hablas en español tu pronuncias todas las letras, pero en inglés...vosotros perdeis algunas letras por el camino!<br />Yo escucho un monton de canciones en inglés e intento cantarlas, pero suena extraño! Por suerte en el coche llevo las ventanas subidas!! Y nadie me escucha!<br /><br />Thank you for read it and correct it!!!<br />Gracias!!!

    <title>Westerkerk : Tomorrow...strike (5)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

What will happen tomorrow? <br />Many people who work don´t want strike because is dangerous today. Our boss puts on us every day more difficult. But we have a job, a salary every month...Many people are unemployed.<br />Strike is about our agreement. Spanish workers have rights and obligations, and it will desapeared. After that, when our rights will desapeared, we won´t know what happen with our working hours, or simply to go to the doctor, when some family will be ill like a child or mother...<br />If we´re not going to work, our boss won´t pay us some high money...<br />Tomorrow will be problems on the street, in many shops...It´s horrible, but they are right...<br />What would you do?

    <title>Westerkerk : Thursday 22nd March (7)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

I was going to write about today, but I changed my mind, because I don´t understand when the english speakers use present perfect, present continuous and past simple. <br />In Spanish I say:<br />Hoy ha sido un día normal.<br />The literal translate is:<br />Today have been a normal day.<br />But you really say:<br />Today was a normal day.<br />And today is not finish yet!!<br />You make it very difficult...(we speak Spanish very difficult for you!!)<br />Well, today was a normal day...I went to work, I returned at home, and I studied chemical.<br />I like my job, but every day is worse. I´m worried about the situation of Spain.<br />I must study hard and I will get a better job. Anywhere...<br />What do you know about present Spain?<br />I feel ashamed for what happened.<br />Next 29th will strike. The workers are affraid because the bosses won´t pay us the day, and they (the bosses) will think how dismiss the workers. We think about strike (huelga) twice!<br />Greetings from Spain!!!<br />

    <title>Westerkerk : Interesting Proverbs (3)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

A few days ago, I read some interesting and true proverbs. <br /><br />Spanish proverbs:<br /><br />Born in the garden the gardener what you sow<br />Nace en la huerta lo que no siembra el hortelano. <br /><br />Nothing is more bold than ignorance<br />Nada hay más atrevido que la ignorancia. <br /><br />Arab proverbs:<br /><br />Have a good memory, if you are a liar<br />Ten buena memoria, si eres mentiroso<br /><br />Nothing scratch your skin better your nail<br />Nada rasca tu piel mejor que tu uña.<br /><br />Japanese proverbs:<br /><br />Thieves will have time for rest,  vigiland have time never<br />Los ladrones tendrán tiempo para descansar; los vigilantes jamás<br /><br />Ensures that your words will be better than silence<br />Procura que tus palabras sean mejor que el silencio<br /><br />Crazy saints dream that great works of the institution, the born fighters make it, the happy sane take it and the chronic useless critizice it.<br />"Las grandes obras de las instituciones las sueñan los santos locos, las realizan los luchadores natos, las aprovechan los felices cuerdos y las critican los inútiles crónicos". <br /><br /><br />I laughed a lot!! hahahahaha<br />

I was born in León, a small city from Spain. <br />It is already 200.000 people. It has many interesting places.<br />You can visit the gothic cathedral, the hostel of St.Marcos, Gaudi Palace, St. Isidoro...(You can see it on the picture)<br />There are many squares, it keeps interesting secrets!<br />In Leon we have dried meat (cecina), the view is like serrano ham, blood sausage you can eat too. And garlic soup. The latter I don´t like.<br /><br /><br />I´m not inspired today...<br />

Today, my mum and I have visited Alcala de Henares. We were in my uncle´s house.<br />We ate "jamón serrano", cheese and olives, with a beer.<br />Then, my mum and I went to eat. We stoped at the terrace, one of many!! <br />In this bar, you can ask for a coke and you must choose a little "tapa", much choice!! You choose a sandwich, a little pan with paella, chips, eggs, jam, bacon, sausage or "morcilla", and all of this only with a coke!! <br />After that we went to a beautiful place!! In the middle is "Cervantes", it is a statue.<br />On the street there is a bench where they are seated "Don Quijote y Sancho Panza", I take a picture with me in the middle of!! (My picture is on the camara!!)<br />If you will visit Spain, you must visit Alcalá de Henares, and you will try our "tapas"<br />Alcalá has many important buildings, I will speak about it in other entry!<br />

Hemos estado en el pueblo desde el domingo hasta hoy. Ha sido perfecto. ¡Menudo sol que hemos tenido! ¡Me he puesto morena y todo! Así me voy preparando para el verano.<br />Breda ha estado corriendo como una loca, se ha portado muy bien. Hemos ido a pasar una mañana al pantano, ¡putas avispas! Me da mucho miedo que me pique una...¡Qué dolor!<br />También hemos ido a ver el AVE, es una tontería, pero tenemos la tradición de ponernos encima del puente y esperar a que pase, esta vez era de noche, y da mucha impresión! Además estaba todo muy oscuro, y me entró el acojone...<br />También hemos ido al panadero del pueblo, hemos comprado un montón de dulces, ¡Están riquísimos! Ojalá os pudiese dar a probar!<br />Me ha dado mucha pena irme, ¡estábamos tan agusto!<br />Ahora me iré unos días a casa de mí madre, porque vamos a hacer obra en casa.<br />Estoy cansada del viaje, me encanta conducir, pero el cuello lo tengo destrozado, ¡necesito un masaje!!!<br /><br />We were at village from Sunday to today. It was perfect. Sun often have had in the summer!I have set brunette! I will be prepare for the summer!<br />Breda was running like crazy! She has behaved very well. We went to the swamp this morning, wasps whores! I´m affraid to stings it to me. What a pain!<br />We went to see the AVE, is silly, but we have the tradition to go up the bridge and wait out the AVE, this time was night, and gives little impresion! It was dark too, and I got affright.<br />We went to see village baker, we bought lots of candy artisans, It´s delicious!  I wish give you something for try!<br />I was very sad to leave the village, we was so confortable!<br />I will go to my mum´s house because we will do work at home.<br />I´m tired for the trip, I love driving, but my neck is sore, I need a massage!!<br /><br />Thanks!

When I turn on my computer I can see maps, videos, interesting web pages...<br />This week I visited web pages about Japan and people from there.<br />There are many different opinions. But I like the respect they have the neighbor. This does not happen in Spain, is the opposite.<br />I think that you can live your life, and don´t worry about others.<br />I read about food. It is very different from here. I never ate japanese food, but I like the utensils used by them. If we eat like them, we would live better. I meet with Japanese people in my work, and they were sympathetic!!<br />Other things are drinks, I saw a pink pepsi! With milk and strawberries!! And a Kit-kat with lemon or green tea! How strange!!<br />At my home you can see many Asian objects, from Cambodia, China, Japan, India...<br />Years ago I could not differentiate people from China, Japan, Chorea...But since I live in Madrid, differentiate them better! Sorry for my ignorance in chilhood!!<br />And about language...I can never do those letters! They are beautiful but...someday...<br />Is very interesting to read some things about other countries, which country will be next?<br />

    <title>Westerkerk : One more question  (0)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

I´m studing in English the reported speech. At first is difficult. I must do my homework and here there are some examples:<br />1.He told them, "Did you tear that letter?"<br />El les dijo a ellos, "¿Rompiste esa carta?"<br />2.He told us, "Are you watching TV?"<br />El nos dijo a nosotros, "¿Estais viendo la televisión?"<br />3.He said, "Should I study harder?"<br />El dijo, "¿Debería estudiar más?<br />4.She said, "I´d visit my town"<br />Ella dijo, "He visitado mi ciudad"<br /><br />1.He told them if they torn that letter<br />El les dijo a ellos si ellos rompieron esa carta<br />2.He told us if we were watching TV<br />3.He said if he should study harder<br />4.She said if she had visited her town<br /><br />I don´t know if it is correct. Do you always say "if"??? <br />And in the fourth sentence you say :I´d visit. Is it correct? And if I say : I´d visited, is correct too?? What is the difference??<br /><br />Today we have studied "modal verbs" (can, could, must, may, might, should, ought to) <br />I crazy with past perfect simple and present perfect simple! <br />I must study harder!!!<br />

    <title>Westerkerk : Today... (3)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

Today has been a hard day. I had worked all day, from eleven o´clock in the morning to nine o´clock in the afternoon.<br />Tomorrow I will work at ten o´clock in the morning.<br />I´m very tired...<br />After work, I will go to academy, for prepare my exams. I´m nervous...<br />Last week I went to the doctor, and he said that my problem wasn´t anything! I´m happy because you can see many things on TV and scare you!<br />Here in Spain you can go to the doctor for free. But at the moment health care is horrible! <br />Find work in Spain is very difficult! And the people like me, with a job, our boss threaten us! We have lowered the salary, and they force us to say absurd things, or we sound weird!!<br />But my mom still doesn´t work(But my mom doesn´t work yet?) She needs a work early, she had delivered more two hundred resumes and nobody call her.<br />Well, something will, I hope...<br />If I speak English I´d like to go to other country for work, around two years, but it is imposible...What I would without Breda? And without my boyfriend? But it will be interesting for live in other country, with other people, other culture...There are too many sites for visit and little money...hahaha<br />I have written to much today!

      <description><![CDATA[

Today is a sunny day.<br />I got up at half past ten, I had a shower and I went out with Breda. We walked much, and Breda walked happy! I could see a smile in her face! I bought a Burberry´s perfum.<br />We arrived at home at twelve o´clock, we met with my boyfriend and ate a roasted tomato with two cups of coffee.<br />We went to the market and bought some steaks. After that we went to the park and run with Breda. It was very funny! <br />Breda is sleeping now. She is like a white donut! Other people say that she is like a sheep! She is a poodle. She jumps very high whem I arrive at home!<br />This month is Breda´s birthday! We will go to the village with her.<br />This afternoon I must to study a lot, because next May will be the exams.<br /><br />I will work tomorrow, I don´t want to go there...But the money is important today!
