This is the first year that I am going out at New Year's Eve with my friends. I have always gone with my parents and my sister to my grandparents' house where we had dinner and stayed with them until we got tired. Some years my aunt and my uncle came too and we had a good time there, all the family together. Last year it was the first time that my sister didn't come with us. She is now twenty-one years old and she has a boyfriend since he was seventeen. She now goes out with him and her friends and I remember that last year my parents and I went with my sister to her boyfriend's house with his parents and his brother who now is eleven years old. This year she goes to a friend's house in Naquera with him and her friends by car, but she can't go in the morning because she is working like a cashier.
On the other hand, I am going to my grandparents' house to have dinner and to stay with them and my parents, but then I will go to the Hilton hotel with my friends. I have bought a nice dress which is black and I would like to buy a pair of shoes and some straps. My best friend has also bought a black dress and we are going to the party really beautiful, of that am sure.
I look forward to go to this party and have a good time!

CHRISTMAS
Last Thursday it was Christmas Eve. Like every year I went to my town called Moraira, in Alicante, with my parents and my sister. There we meet the rest of my father's family. They are four sisters and four brothers and I have about twenty cousins. This year two of my cousins had babys, Daniela and Gimena. We were 42 although some people didn't come because of his job. As we are too many people, we meet in a big house of one of my aunts.
This year my father went to Moraira on Wensday to prepare some things for the party, but my mother my sister and I went on Thursday because my sister worked this day. We have a little house there and like every year one of my uncles and his wife and daughter stay with us and help us to prepare about 500 sandwiches. When we have finished preparing all the things we get dressed and go to my aunt's house where there is the rest of the family. In the house all is prepared and there are two big tables, one for the adults and the other for the cousins, but before eating we open the presents. One of my cousins, the oldest, take a microphone and speaks over it to distribute the presents. This year my presents were a beautiful dress and a pair of boots that I don't like, so my mother and I will go to buy anothers. My sister's presents were a sweater and another dress. My mother had a perfume and a strap, and my father some masks for decoration because he loves them.
After this we start eating and telling all the things that happened this year. I had a lot of cousins that are living abroad so they had a lot of things to say. One of them is a model and has lived in China but now is in Milan, another is living in France, another in Japan, and another in Ireland. My cousin who is a model fell down in the street because it was rainning and it was really funny although we were worried.
After having dinner we take out the tables, put music and dance until we get tired. This year we went home at eight o'clock in the morning. Next day we got up very late in the morning and went again to my aunt's house to have lunch at six o'clock in the evening. This day we play a game called Risk and the adults play cards and make a championship.
This year, in New Year's Eve I will go to my grandparent's house and then with my friends to the Hilton hotel because I have never been in a hotel in New Year's Eve and I hope it will be really funny.

DRUGS AND MUSIC
Today I am going to talk about an essay that I am doing for a subject in the University. My essay is about drugs and music. These concepts have been always related, even it is a famous phrase that tells "Sex, drugs and Rock 'n roll". There are more singers that have abused drugs and some of them died because of this.
An example of it is the famous singer Elvis Presley. He was born in Tupelo, EEUU but he and his family moved to Memphis. There the owner of Sun Records decided to edit a single of him. This fact gave Elvis the opportunity to participate in a radio programme. He became famous, specially for his moviment of the pelvis that gave him the nickname Elvis Pelvis. He made some films too. But The Beatles appeared and the popularity of Elvis decreased. Furthermore, in 1970 began to consume drugs, and he reached to the weight of 130. After falling inconscient several times in the stage, he died with only 42 years old.
An actual example is the case of Pete Doherty. He was born in Hexham, England. He was such an excelent student that he won a trip to Russia because of competition of poetry. He move to London to his grandmother's house, where he said that was destined to live. Pete Doherty went to University and began to study the career of english literature but only a year. After leaving the University he left his grandmother's house and went to live with his friend Carl Barât, and they formed together a band called The Libertines. But Pete Doherty's problems with drugs finally cause the separation of the band. He get so hooked with drugs that holded up Carl Barât's house and robbed him to pay his addiction.
On the other hand, there are a lot of songs whose lyrics talk about drugs. They often talk in a positive way and it is really strange that they criticize them. This can affect to the teenagers that listen to music every day because they love the singers who are idols for them and want to be like these singers. But of course we cannot blame the musicians because they should have the freedom to create their music.
Finally, music and drugs are related in other way. When teenagers go out to discos or pubs where they dance and listen to music, and usually drink alcohol and take other substances.

LEO MESSI
Lionel Messi has won the golden ball, a prize that is given to the best football player in the world every year that it is given by a french magazine. But this time he has made a record because he has obtained 473 votes out of 480. I admired Messi because I think he is a modest person and he has never been involved in scandals like the most part of the football players.
Leo Messi borned in Rosario, Argentina in the 1987 and since he was a child he liked playing football but at the age of 11 he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency. The most famous club in Argentina in those days were interested in capturing Messi but they couldn't pay the treatment for his illness, so the FC Barcelona offered him to pay the treatment if he moved to Barcelona and Leo's family and he were agree with this offer. In 2004 he was given the opportunity to play for the Spanish national team but he declined because he wanted to play with the Argentinian team and so he did.
Because of his dazzling skills he has won a lot of prizes during his career and he is just 22 years old. When he received his last prize, he said that he has won it because of his workmates and that anyone of his team could have been the winner.
We don't know much about his private life but it is a good characteristic of Leo Messi, because he doesn't like being in gossip magazines or something like that. We only know that he has an argentinian girlfriend.
He is simply the best not only like person but also like a football player.

THE LYNX PARDINUS
Yesterday I watched in the news that the lynx pardinus is in danger of extinction. This animal eats rabbits which are dying because of an illness and as a result of that the lynx doesn't have enough food. The lynx pardinus is also in danger of extinction owing to other reasons related with humans. We are destroying their habitat and there are hunters who kill them. I don't understand how someone can kill an animal but is extremely worse if the animal is in danger of extinction.In my opinion the police should take more control of these hunters and be more estrict with them.
On the other hand, it has been proposed the creation of a place where the lynx pardinus could live without having to worry about hunters and humans that bother them and also they will have people who will take care of their lives and try to make the lynx pardinus to reproduce so in that way they won't be in danger of extinction.

MORE MUSIC
Yesterday I was watching Buenafuente like every day ( I only see the part where Berto, a collaborator, appears. Some day I will talk about him because he is just fantastic) when Andreu introduced a singer called Jamie Cullum. I listened to him and I really like it. He plays the piano like if it was so easy and has a voice that I love. I think that his music is different and relaxing and he plays jazz.
In my opinion it is interesting for artists that programmes on tv give them the opportunity to make people know about their music because nowadays the musicians, specially the new singers, have a lot of problems to send their CD's and this is a way to make publicity of their music. It is true that they are expensive although it is not the artists fault. And we can not forget that without them the music that we love wouldn't exist.

STRANGE WEATHER
These last months the weather is very strange. We are in November and there are days really sunny and we go with t-shirts when last year we went with jackets and it was very cold. Yesterday I saw in the news that shops are lowing the prices of the winter clothes like sweaters, gloves... although the sales are after Christmas because they are not solding this type of clothes. The shopkeepers say that they are solding summer clothes like if we were in July. At least there is something good about this weather and it is that we could buy clothes cheaper than if the weather was colder.
