I think thay a "Buy Nothing Day" will be the worst day for all the global economy. In my opinion, the consumerism is a good thing, if we move money, we contribute to the global economic development. Well, I'm agree with shopping and  buying everything I like and want. For what reason do you want some money if you don't move it? You have to buy all that you want, if you can, obviously. Buying is not a bad thing. In concluion, "Buy Nothing Day" is the worst day for the global economy.

WELCOMING EMAIL

Hi,

My name is Toni Trueba, I’m 17 and I was born in Catalonia. One of my passion and my “work” too is the photography. I was working on it four years ago.

Maybe one of my short term-goals is finish the studies to go to the university, but I’m not really sure that what is that I will to do in the university. Another short-term goal is continue with my lovely work during a few years more if I don’t get tired of it.

I think that my main long-term goal is can live from photography and maybe leave out of Spain to USA. There will be my opportunity of be a famous photographer like my referents in the photography world. Another goal of my life, for me the most important and the goal that I really want is work with famous models and do some covers of the most important fashion magazine in the world; Vogue. I want to work for this magazine.

I think that my passion and my work is possible thanks to my parents and my friends, all of they believe in me. Put I have to give the thanks in special to my father, he is the person who most involved was in me because he was an artist too.

The Obama’s speech I was hear it time ago. I hear some speeches like the Obama’s one and in all of those say the same, this speech can hear it in self-help videos. When you say this words can be very beautiful and very easy to say, but the wrong and difficult part is do it and make it possible. In my opinion this speeches are very superficial.

Best wishes,

Toni

FINAL REFLECTION

Do not be if there has been any improvement in my Englishman's level, last year I managed to extract 9 in the quarter and this alone year they are 5. I suppose that it is for the teacher's change and the level that this one demands. But, I think that I have improved my english level overcoat in the reading comprehension and in the future of the verbs like the future continous. Still having a level of low English, I think that in the drafts it is better where it is demonstrated.

I suppose that all the activities would be useful to improve my English but I think that in class a too high level is had for my and cannot follow them well. The activity that more useful has seemed to me, but it does not mean that really I have been served, has been the oral test of the book. Because I think that more that to be able to write correctly in English, it is more important to be able to speak it. I think that it would be very useful, not only for my, but also for the whole world, more oral exercises, they are more enterteining and an overcoat more useful in the life, we do not relate writing.

MY GAP YEAR

My perfect gap year would be the route 66. This one is a mythical road that crosses USA from this one to west, happening for eight states. I think that it would go in summer taking a flight from Barcelona. The budget would be something more about 2000 dollars.
On having come there it would rent a car (to it be able to be a convertible cadillac) and we would begin the route from Chicago. The route would take a couple of months to us, stopping in Springfield, St. Louis, Claremore... And finally in Los Angeles. I think that where more time we will stop it would be in Las Vegas. Las Vegas is the city of my dreams, I adore Elvis and adore Marilyn, I am charmed with the neons, the lights and the artificial things.

Money

I think that to nobody the meaning of the words is necessary to consult neither in Internet nor in a dictionary poverty and wealth, it is very easy: poverty means shortage, whereas wealth, abundance. The rich one is the one who has more than he needs and the poor person the one that has less, as is, this way of simply. Lamentably, in the current world an important inequality exists in the distribution of wealth; while the rich ones are very rich, there will be very poor poor. It is necessary to see since it is the world, while some of these gentle rich dedicate part of his life to trying the good disinterested in some persons, others simply try to accumulate the major quantity of wealth, at any expense and cost what costs. In general and definitive, that there are people with luck and other one that not with so much, but as decian in the advertisement this of furniture: it is not richer the fact that more it has, but the one that less needs. And this way it is, though we do not have great purchasing power (I include myself) and probably your also, we will be rich in other things that surely that Bill Gates it is not.

#Love?

Yes, now it's time to get serious.
I took too much, I'm aware. I wanted to show how much I loved you giving you everything and more, but I discovered that when I did not give it to you, you were not there for me. You stopped trying to surprise me, but I was still holding on even the injustices and I was closing my mouth to make you happy. I guess you started to think it was my duty to be for you. But you know what? I'm sorry, I can live without you. You are not indispensable in my days or in those nights when you made every caress eternal. I realized that I can't continue trying to recover something that has long ceased to exist, that love that was gradually fading away while your interest in me. We held together the fear of being alone, the fear of leaving everything and starting with another person, seeing how we didn't need each other, but I'm sorry, I had to stay away from you. Unfortunately I had to carry all the responsibilities while on your part I only received demands and more demands, demands that weighed more and more and became unbearable. And it was not my obligation, I didn't have to give you everything, I did it because I wanted to, because I loved you, but I got tired. I realized that my life wasn't synonymous with your name and that's why I decided to leave. I honestly don't care if you mind reading this and knowing the truth, what I really felt. You didn't try hard, you didn't value me and that's why you did not deserve me to continue dedicating my time to you. I'm sorry, I learned to value myself.

Yes We Spain Is Different

This is my opinion about our country.

To begin, we do not have a good economic culture. Not even a good education. It is a very basic failure, which one will be late decades in solving, if someone puts to it, clearly. That nobody does he does not even claim still. Another serious failure. The capitalism has taken to itself ahead everything. Values, personality, ideal. With our assent. In words of always brilliant Jose Luis Sampedro, we educate our chavalería to be productive, to win and to consume. To tread to of to the side, if it puts on us in way. To be mas. To have the major quantity of possible things. And this way, we are since we are. Throwing pests of the immigrants, which we brought because we were needing to construct. Really were we needing them? Or were they needing them to businessmen and banks? We construct in 10 years what we would have to be constructing now.. .. We leave the peoples, these sites where it is lived well and where still it is lived decently, to fill the cities. In order that? And you do not avenge me with the family party of which in the peoples there is no work. It can be and to be that not. Things called cars exist ... and also other things called cheap housing and quality of life. Ah, clear, that in the capitals is the work ...

Bullying

My last video on YouTube talks about bullying. I talk with a friend and she explain her experience about it. This talk it become me another person. Thank you Ainhoa.
In my opinion I think that bullying is something that is pointless. There is not a point in putting someone else down because it makes someone else feel better about themselves. I think that if everyone keeps there comments to themselves, everything would be better and no ones feelings would be hurt. If anyone is getting bullied my advice is to talk to someone about it and get help and try to stop it if you know someone getting bullied.

Three Suns in the Sky

A rare celestial phenomen appeared in Mongolia, and it looked like there were three suns in the sky. The middle sun was the one we usually see every day, but the one on either side were the sun’s smaller reflections.

A local meteorological centre explained that the optical phenomen is known as an anthelion, which means that the reflection is caused by sunshine high in the sky and light passing through snow crystals in the air.

An anthelion can appear when the temperature is lower than -30°C, and the air is fill with clouds, vapour and ice crystals.

The Robot Zoo

The Horniman Museum in London is hosting an exhibition that allows children to understand how the natural world works through robotic models of animals.

The robotic platypus, for example, has large flashing red lights on its bill which represent the animal electroreceptors, which electrical pulses given off by anything alive. Visitors can also catch bugs, use bat sonar and interact with creatures. Velcro is used to demonstrate how a housefly can stay on the wall, and it sucks up its food like a vacuum cleaner.

The most entertaining interview on impeachment (starring a kid)

Professor Robert Kelly is an expert on South Korea and appeared on the BBC on Friday to discuss the impeachment of South Korean President Park Geun-hye. 
Suddenly, a litle girl dances in his room but Robert continues talking. Instead, he summons another, like a horseman in a baby bouncer. After a few amusing moments, a woman comes in and desperately herds them away. It concludes the most entertaining interview ever to be broadcast on the subject of South Korean impeachment.

Earthquake strikes south of Turkey

A 5.3-magnitude earthquake hit a south estern town in Turkey in the Adiyaman Province on Thursday, damaging buildings and injuring five with more people likely to follow.

Four teams of 35 rescuers were sent to the area where four more tremors followed the main earthquake. Earthquakes are usually in Turkey because the country is on active fault lines, but the US Geological Survey said that the recent earthquake was very shallow, at only around 9 kilometres deep.

Islamic State

This is one of most important global issue. The Islamic State killed more than 72.000 people. We are going to begin:
Over a territory larger than UK and extending from Aleppo in Syria to Iraq's Khurdish north with Mosul, Iraq's second largest citu as its capital. In June 30th of 2014, ISIS announces creation of caliphate in territories under its control in Iraq and Syria. Exist a conflict between Iraqi Sunnies and Shias sustains. In 2011, Osama bin-Laden was dead by the US governament.

The objective of US and Iraqi strategy is to eventuallyu drive ISIS fighters to ground in cities like Mosul. To improve this, the United States has already sent about 1.400 military adviser. If US end fighting the war, instead of local forces, there is surprinsingly a lower likeihood of success.

Mr. WARHOL

Andy for me was the real artist. He was the creator of Pop Art and a really innovator.
He was born in USA but his family was from Poland. When he was a child he loves painting and look arround he. He was very religious and his first paintings were about that. When he was eighteen, he travelled to New York, began to work in a fashion magazine. His real name was Andrew Warhola and in a impression mistake he change his surname to Warhol.
With a friend he created The Factory, it was a place when Andy created his own art. He was very successful and meet a lot of celebrities.
In 1968, Andy suffered a terrible accident when a fan shot he. Now his art changed, it was more dark and he painted skulls or guns. But finally in  1987 when he was 58 years, he died of a heart attack throught the fault of the shot.
Now he is one of the most quoted artists in the world, his paintings cost millions.

I MISS YOU

She was the fashion model, the singer and the actress. She was the perfect girl in the world. A few days ago died Bimba Bosé by a cancer.
Bimba was a woman who begans as model of David Delfín, one of the best designers in Spain. Later she sang with her uncle Miguel and appeared in many films and tv shows. She had two children, Dora and June.
A years ago she diagnosed a cancer and the past 23th of January she died, at 41 years.
For me she represents the power of the woman, how a woman can be strong to a disease. Thank you for all Bimba. I miss you.

IT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD

One of the things that makes me feel good is listen to music, in particular old music, about the 70's and 80's. I been listening since always but I started to listen everyday teo years ago.

Listen to this music makes me feel good when I'm bad and feel strong. I normally listen to this music when I'm laying in bed or I'm morking retouching photos.

My parents love this type of music and I think I'm not the only one that happends. I understand that music don't like him but this music makes me feel so good that I don't let them at the moment. I think that this music not like to teenagers but I love it.

The singers who I usually listen are: David Bowie, Iggy Pop, ACDC, Bonnie Tyler, Fangoria or Michael Jackson.
