Sail, train, enjoy.

I've already done a post about sailing, but I would like to show you some more things. Every weekend I go training to Blanes or somewhere to compete in a race. This weekend I trained at nine o'clock with my team, because the winter wind in Blanes is quite strange, and if you want to sail, you have to wake up very early. As I know that sailing is an uncommon sport, I'll show you a short resume of how is a training day. You'll see that this Sunday (when I shot the videos) we had soft wind and flat water. These are great conditions to practice tags and jibes, and also velocity against other boats. I also have to tell you that it's been a short time that I'm sailing with this class of boat, so I still have to train a lot... Anyway, it is a good video to figure out how is training a sport such different as from we're used to see in television. I hope you enjoy it! ;)

Ho hey

Ho hey is a love song by The Lumineers. It explains the story of a boy who loves a girl. They were together, but now she has left him and he wants to be with her again. The problem is that the girl is now with another man, but the singer believes that she would be better with him, starting over again.

I like this song for its sound, but also for its lyrics. I think it is very beautiful and something that seldom happens in real life. It is romantic, and has a very good feeling! Enjoy it. 

Les Misérables

Before reading this post you should know that I love cinema. I go to the cinema almost every week, normally on Fridays with my friends or on Sundays with my parents. I've seen a lot of movies and each one is new story to live and imagine... The last movie I've seen is quite special, it is a sung movie, Les Misérables. 

It is about a man called Jan Valjean, who escape from the law and start a new life far from Paris. He soon become an important man and the mayor of a town. Then he meets Fantine, a young and poor woman who asks him to save her daughter just a few hours before dying. He obviously takes the little girl and races her as his daughter. Some years later he returns to Paris and there, Cosette (the girl) meets Marius, a young man who's fighting for people's freedom in the capital. They fall in love and after a lot of exciting scenes, they can live together... But I won't tell you the end of the story because then you wouldn't enjoy the movie in case you watch it!

I definitely thing it is an Alan Hooper's masterpiece. This film is awesome! After more than two hours singing, when you see The end, you're still wanting more and more of that moving story. I have to admit that I was about to cry when we left the cinema... The music is great and the way the characters express themselves singing, is even more powerful than just speaking. By the way, it is spoken in English! 

Well, to finish I only have to say that if you like cinema, you can't afford to miss this film.

song -do you hear the people sing?-

New year resolutions 2013

Wow! The 21st December has passed and we're still here and alive! So... This is 2013 :) Happy new year to all of you.

Like every year, this year I've made my New Year's resolutions... Since I never achieve any of them, this year I've been more realistic, and they aren't hard to achieve:

• I will improve my handwriting: look, I have an awful handwriting. I don't expect to have the best handwriting ever, but I would like that when I'm writing something, people don't have to ask me -what does that say??- 
• I will learn to speak German properly: I'm learning German since this summer, and by the moment I can have an stupid conversation, you know... like presenting myself, asking something... I can also move in a city as a tourist with no problems, but I would like to have a fluid conversation with someone.
• I will also improve my English skills, and for that, I'll travel to Ireland in summer, and some things more...

I've also planned some things more, but less important...
