Chiki-Chiki Chikilikuatre

2008-05-14T12:24:00.000-07:00

Last month, a new character was presented in Buenafuente's program in "La Sexta". This man has become famous in one week because of his strange, illogical and funny song. The chiki.chiki is a man who is goint to Eurovision to represent Sapin . However I don't know if we are going to win o lose int he last position. If people like him like tht Spanish, we are going to win but if people say that is crap and fucking shit, our little reputation wull crumble. Think about ir and vote for CHIKI_CHIKI in the next Eurovision. If he wins I think that more tourist will come to Spain on holiday and there will probably be more beautiful girls in the discos!!

How much is the fish?

2008-05-14T12:19:00.000-07:00

I'm going to talk about the fish. Nowadays we are living ina world where there are rich and poor countries, somewhere people have meat, but there are some palces that people are very por and they have difficulties to earn money and buy something to eat like fish. So, now I have a question, how much is the fish? If I go to the sishesshop I can buy a quilo of sardines and it will cost me 5E. Moreover I don't have to go fishing because there are poeple who have big ships with atutomatic machines. In a very poor country, if a family wants to eat fish, they have to go fishingall the day and sell the most of the fishes to eran money and be able to buy bread, etc.
I don't know why I'm talking about that and why I have put this title. However, we can see that in our world there are big contrasts between different societies and people.

Useful expresions...

2008-05-14T12:14:00.000-07:00

When we are having a converstion with friends we use many expresions that helps us to show our feelings in a concret moment. Now, I 'm going to write a little recopilation of these expresions with their traslation.

- Hey, that's bad, man! (és brutal, tiu!)
- She's a bag! (es una bruixa!)
- Bite me! (ves a la merda)
- What a cock-up! (quina cagada!)
- Cool! (guay!)
- Damn it ("joder")
- Eff off (ves a cagar)
- I couldn't give a fuck (m'importa una merda)
- Use your nut! (fes servir el cap!)
- Go away! (vesten!)

If you use explemples like these your English will be more real!

Paintball

2008-05-14T12:06:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday, I went with some friends to Sant CLiment Secebes to play paintball. I'd never played it but finally I did a a good task. We were 30 people, 15 in each team. My team had diferents squads. I was in the rush squad and our task was make a fat attack while the other members of our group weere covering us. We succeded in many games and we finally won more than 4 games. One of the games was called off vecause some people exceded the limits of the battlefield.
We sarted playing at 15.00h and we didn't stop until 20.00h. When I arrived home I was exhausted and I went to bed early. The next day, I woke up and I went to school however I couldn't walk so well because my legs were buggered.

4 letter words and others

2008-05-13T04:16:00.000-07:00

This will be a basic tutorial to learn some nice English expresions. Firs,t I want to say that this will be an strong writting so If you feel depressed dont read it. There are many diferent tipes of swear words that I'm going to explain now .

FUCK: This word can be used in many situations as a verb, adverb, adjective, noun, etc. Exemple: fuck you, fuck off, fuck up and a nice one, fuck the fucking fuckers.

SHIT: This is another word that we can find in many nice expresions: Bullshit, Holy shit, "shit", etc.

These two groups are the mains because they have lost of derivates. Other useful swearing words/expresions are nutecase, dump, bugger off, barf, etc.

That's the end of the basic tutorial.

Talk

2008-05-13T04:10:00.000-07:00

One of the major dificulties for me using this blog is find a topic to talk. I have written many blogs in my life so now I dont know what can I talk about. I could talk abaout my life but I think that people wouldn't be interest in the topic because I probably would talk about planes, 4 letters words, my future job, skydiving, other sports like skiing, etc. I will think about it using the philosofy way!

Gerard's Birthday

2008-03-22T07:36:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, Gerard and Carla went to skydive in Empuriabrava because it was Gerard’s birthday. I was able to move myself to his flight and finally I success. When we were in the plane everybody was very exited but when we arrived to 9000 feets everybody started checking the rigs. Gerard started feel nervous because the instructor was opening the door and we would be the first to jump. Finally we arrived to 14.000 (extra altitude) and we started the exit. First Gerard, later a group of 5 people, me and the last one was Carla. I think that Carla was more exited than nervous because when I asked something to her she answered me but Gerard didn’t. When I landed I could see how happy were them xD!!!!

AFF Course

2008-03-22T06:52:00.000-07:00

Well during the 1st weekend of Carnival I was doing de Accelerated Free Fall Course in Skydive Empuriabrava. The first day I was instructed by Dani (instructor) and later we did a tandem to get knowledge and get used to the techincs during the free fall and the canopy piloting. The second day I stared jumping alone with 2 instructor. The fist, second and third jump I did them with two instructors and I practiced all the movements during the free fall to know how was my body reacting if I made something. The last 4 jumps I did them with onle one instructor and I think that it was the part of the course that I got more knowloge. Finally I did the exam and I passed it succefully.

I put 2 videos of my AFF Course

Hi everybody!!
The last Friday I jumped with a tandem and the experience was indescriptible! The sensation that you feel when you are falling is like be in the paradise. I like it a loot,util the point that in January I will do the course PAC for jump alone, on my own. I can not wait this long time, so I will ask my friends If they can make me a free tandem. I think that they are going to do it because the relations between everybody are fabulous.

This is me jumping from 4000m

I recoment you to watch this video. It's 9min long but i think that you will enjoy it.
