The gyms are full, the bookcases keep empty.
There is no more luxury life than the one in which one lives without phone and car.
The kisses that I lost because of not knowing how to say: "I need you"
Love is called the game in which a couple of blind play getting hurt each other.
Throw your prejudices close to the bed; today, you have a chance to prove that you are a woman, besides being a lady.
Too much work takes me committing sins as to lower it poorly in vain repenting.
This loose lips no longer sink ships, this madman is going to go to another madwoman, this eyes aren't going to cry for you.
I have stumbled into my past and have asked for another cup of rum.
Violent like a child without birthday, like the perfume of heartbreak.

Quotes from Joaquin Sabina
How hard to try to break free from this magic which we are imprisoned.
There is not even worst nostalgia than to miss the one that never was.
The good thing of the years is that heal wounds, the bad of the kisses is that they addict.
Frequently the most urgent lips aren't in hurry two kisses after.
Dancing is to dream with the feet.
We should condemn every deaths even the natural deaths.
I am a bad boyfriend, a very bad lover and the worst husband. But I'm a great friend.
My plan is to grow old without dignity.
I am not neither well-balanced nor quiet; I keep a crazy life.
I will struggle until the last minute and my epitaph will be: I do not agree.

El viaje en la lluvia
Ayer conducimos a casa de mi suegro para el Día de Acción de Gracias. Fue un viaje sin apuro, el mejor tipo. Partimos a las 6 de mañana, pues pasamos la primera hora y media en la oscuridad, teniendo que estar muy atentos porque llovía al mismo tiempo. La lluvia continuó después del amanecer, y todo el día. Mientras tanto la temperatura exterior caía cada vez más. Dentro de una hora de nuestra destinación, había una capa ligera de nieve en el suelo, aunque nunca vimos copos en el aire. Llegamos a la una, justo a tiempo para un almuerzo de sandwiches, totopos de maíz y salsa.

The little scammer.
Last month, a little boy of 20 years appeared in all mass-media.
His story was incredible for all spaniards. He was arrested and told on scam.
He said that he worked for the spanish government, royal house ......
Nobody could understand what this boy did.
He showed pictures with politicians, with the King, with business owners ....
He told that he worked for the country. And he had very important Jobs like, for example, doing business with the King, meetings with important people,....
He travelled in oficial cars........
He lived in one of the most luxury neigbourhoods of Madrid. He took pictures, (selfies) with all this people.
Who paid all his expenses? Who paid him for his job?
He cheated everybody in his own benefit.
With 20 years, he made his own story, A dream that he wanted that we believe it.

And It Was Ten O'clock
It happened in a village into the sea,
a night after a concert.
You reigned behind the bar counter of
the only one that we saw open.
Sing me a song at my ear
and as taking you a rum&coke
on one condition:
that you keep open your balcony of your cat eyes,
being mad to learn the secrets from your bed room
that night I sang by piano of morning my whole repertory.
The bar customers were walking away one to one,
you went to close, I told myself:
take care guy, you are falling in love.
After all suddenly happened, your finger on my back,
she drew a heart and my hand reciprocates her under her skirt.
When walking to hostel, we kiss each other in every lamppost,
it was a village into the sea, I wanted to sleep with you
and you don't wanted to sleep alone.
And it was ten and eleven, twelve and one,
and two and three,
and the moon found us nude at night.
we told goodbye each other, I wish that
we meet again.
The summer ended up, the autum took the one that the winter takes,
And in the next summer again, to your village, the random
took me, and the end of the concert, I started to find
your face among people,
and I didn't meet who tells me a word about you,
it seemed like if destiny wanted to play a macabre prank,
there wasn't anyone behind the bar counter from
the another summer,
and instead of your bar I found a branch of Hispano-Americano bank,
I avenged your memory with stones against the window,
I know that I didn't dream it,
I protested whereas the local police was handcuffing me.
I declared that I took three drinks in my statement,
and started this song in that room where I took you your clothes off.

El lavaplatos
Desde la semana pasada nuestro lavaplatos no funciona. No sé exactamente que es el problema, pero los platos acaban sucios. Es difícil diagnosticarlo sin ver adentro. Sea lo que sea, no nos podemos quejar mucho, porque la máquina ya estuvo vieja cuando compramos la casa y nos ha servido bien durante 10 años desde entonces. Ahora buscamos un repuesto. Esto conlleva una investigación de características, precios, clasificaciones y recomendaciones. Un cambio al que tendramos que acostumbrarnos es la duración de ciclo de lavar. Nuestra unidad actual lava y seca los platos en 66 minutos, mientras los nuevos modelos toman más de 100 minutos. Creo que es una consecuencia de nuevas reglas sobre el consumo de energía.

Bedroom and Writing
I don’t know how could I live in such an untidy place. For
months (maybe years), I postponed painting and remodeling my bedroom. But
enough is enough, and last week I decided that it was time to stop
procrastinating.
I painted my bedroom walls and ceiling white, and now the
room looks brighter than with the old pastel color. Was it really pastel? The
walls were so stained that I’m not sure.
My deteriorated, uncomfortable desk reincarnated in small
wood pieces. And a not-so-new but spacious desk replaced the old one. Now all
my writing tools are organized: reference books on a top shelf; white paper at
my left side; the PC monitor at my eye level; and dozens of pens, pencils, and
highlighters near my right hand.

7 lives
Four years of interspersed happiness,
four years of suspicious look,
A love story disrupted,
dammit, dammit my life.
A rose has been born between my hands,
and its spikes have poured my blood,
blood that blooms from the centre of my heart,
dammit, what did happen with my mind?
Keep calm, my love,
I have broken with my past.
And one thousand cares to tell you
that 7 lives has a cat,
I have already spent six lives
and this last one, I want to live it at your side.
Now, I am in the middle of this lake,
creeping out due to my memory of the past
and with my wrinkled forehead looking at the esplanade
and thinking of her who gave me everything for nothing.
I can't forget her nude body.
I can't bear to think of someone on you
when thinking about someone can taste you,
I swear that my heart makes me tight.
Lyrics

Pasapalabra
That is the name of a well known contest in Spain where you listen to a definition very fast and you have to find out the right word only knowing the letter that it starts.
Do you imagine winning the native speakers abroad in a TV contest?
A natural answer is "impossible",
However an Armenian young woman who has only lived during 7 years in Valencia(Spain),
Lilit Manukyan, has achieved it, besides she took 318000 euros of award.
She learnt 50 words daily and was training hard in the game of the contest. When she came to Spain she started taking care children and she says that learnt so much by helping with his homework to her pupil, Gabriel, actually she was the pupil, she says.
This contest is hard for native speakers but she knew a lot of words unusual, "ditirambo" , "oploteca" which I sincerely don't know it nor do I am interested to learn, at least in this way.
She studied economy in Russia and only received some Spanish clases before coming to Spain.
The most peculiar of her is her foreign marked accent, that actually she doesn't speak fluently and the fact that she is able to listen fast Spanish.
When the TV presenter asked her, she said that she and her current Spanish husband were unemployed and that her wish was to travel to Majorca Island.
Not even in my wildest dreams, I can imagine winning an English contest against to native speakers.

Una falta de fe
No tengo fe suficiente para creer que los procesos naturales que vemos en el mundo podrían haber producido las maravillas que encontramos en las formas de vida y en la persona humana. Para mí, exige menos fe creer en un creador, externo del mundo natural, con inteligencia y propósito. Otro problema con el ateísmo es que no puede explicar el origen del universo. En el mundo natural, nada se crea de nada. Todo viene de algo más, sea otras formas de vida o reacciones químicas o aun reacciones nucleares. Los ateístas pueden hablar de cómo han evolucionado las formas complejas de vida de formas más simples y cómo explotaron las galaxias y estrellas de un "big bang", pero ¿qué existió antes? Finalmente tienen que inventar algo separado de este mundo. Algo que no está restringido por las leyes naturales de este mundo. Este es Dios.

A Christmas story
The alarm clock went off. It
was seven o’clock of the morning of a cold day at the very beginning of
December. Christopher Mash was waking up from his uncomfortable sleep. He had
not been sleeping well for months after having been fired from the company to
which he had been devoted to for twenty years. Never had he thought that he was
going to get through the devastating experience of being unemployed and he did
not really know what life had in stored for him.
Christopher’s discouragement
grew bigger and bigger since he was not able to find a new job. His lovely
wife, Evelyn, trying to encourage him, went with him on what appears to be job
hunting, but to no avail.
One day, while they were
cooking nougat, a question crossed Christopher’s
mind, “Why do not we make as much nougat as to sweeten the lives of those who are even in a
worse precarious situation than us and
do not have enough money to even buy a small portion for their children?”. He
told his wife about his idea and she appeared to be very interested in it,
though what she really wished was to see him happy.
They both decided to spend
part of Christopher’s redundancy pay on buying the ingredients needed so as to
make the nougat, sugar, almonds and honey. Love had been spilled over their
hearts without seeking anything in exchange and with the only aim of turning
people’s disappointment and lack of illusion into a small portion of happiness
by giving them away something to all lights insignificant, but important enough
so as to make them feel the Christmas spirit.
The goodness of their action
was quickly spread around their city and unleashed a tide of love among its
dwellers who, following the couple example, delivered a storm of gifts and
staple goods over the heads of the poorest people of the city.
Not only were Evelyn and
Christopher able to draw a smile on poor people’s face at Christmas but they
also laid the foundations for what is, this day and age, a successful artisan nougat
factory which helped them to fill every Christmas with joy and fun.
With a Cup of Wine
With a cup of wine,
I am going to start the path
that your love has just pointed me.
Come to have it with me
and when it is well poured,
leave me there, forgotten.
because at last either with you and without you,
my lucky won't have changed.
This goodbye, this goodbye that you give me,
long time ago I was waiting it
There's nothing eternal in life,
everything is wind and clouds passing.
I was born to live without love,
up to the sky gets dark for me,
I will go on with my bitter sorrow
waiting that death come.

It's Over
Everything what I do you,
before, you already did it me.
And now, what do you want from me
if you don't exist for me?
I am even better person
because I don't want to hurt you.
I just know that I don't love you,
my love went away over the years.
It's over
because I proposed to me and suffered
like no one had before suffered and my skin
remained empty and alone, hopeless
in oblivion and after fighting against death I started
to recover me a little and forgot
all what I loved you but now,
but now my world is another.
Don't come to me with that soft soap
nor do ask me for help,
when I needed you, I couldn't count on with you.
Neither do I want, nor do I hate you,
I want you to understand me well,
so you are one of many whom I never met.
before, you already did it me.
And now, what do you want from me
if you don't exist for me?
I am even better person
because I don't want to hurt you.
I just know that I don't love you,

With Two Beds Empty
Nor I embroider handkerchiefs, nor you break contracts.
Nor I kill for jealousy, nor you die for me.
And before you love me like it is loved a cat.
I go with any one that he looks like you.
I open wide the doors that you close.
Some tell me that forgetfulness doesn't suit you so bad.
The peace that you has chosen is worse than my war,
the one that could have been and the one that will never be.
However I can't never go downwind,
which bites the corners of this impious city.
Poor sorcerer's apprentice which spits the firmament,
Since a luxe hotel with two beds empty.
Who will make your work under my skirt?
Does, the mouth that was mine, what mouth will be from?
Your broken navel doesn't already turn its back when
I lost with you the enthusiasm to win.
Because of I pay in cash, a kiss never lack me.
When I confess, I give myself the absolution.
I don't already *close the bars, nor I make so much excesses,
every time are sadder the love songs.
Although I never shut up, I keep a pair of secrets.
I tell it of man-to-man, of woman-to-woman.
Nor** I marry anyone,nor I put it amulets.
For not having, I have no age to deserve.
May the ink be damned that wets my papers,
May the third person of plural be dammed,
the fingernails that nails there where it hurts.
If my mascara running when you make me to cry
Lyrics
*to close a bar = to remain drinking in a bar up to its closure
**I don't marry anyone = I don't trust anyone
Nor I kill for jealousy, nor you die for me.
And before you love me like it is loved a cat.
I go with any one that he looks like you.
I open wide the doors that you close.
Some tell me that forgetfulness doesn't suit you so bad.
The peace that you has chosen is worse than my war,

Apuntes
Es mediodía y la temperatura exterior es 5 grados. Sin embargo, veo a personas afuera lanzando un frisbee (disco plástico) en preparación para un partido de "ultimate". Debido al frío el césped ya está totalmente de color tostado y vemos una gran variedad de colores en la hojas de los árboles. Ya nos acerca la temporada de fiestas, faltando menos de dos semanas para el Día de Acción de Gracias. Y después de eso el ajetreo de las navidades nos llegará.
Más práctica:
Al hablar de mujeres famosas, podemos contar con La Reina Isabella de Inglaterra.
La niebla era tan espesa como sopa de guisantes (una expresión en inglés).
Hay que tener en mente que la popularidad de los varios deportes ha cambiado a travéz de los años.
Se puede encontrar toda una pila de Legos en mi casa.
Una manera de hacer hincapié es hincar el pie.
Fallaron de lograr sus objetivos, pero hicieron un esfuerzo loable.

Madam
When I knew the whole truth, madam
it was already late to back, madam
I was a part of his life and he was my shadow,
When I knew you existed, madam,
my world was already only him, madam,
I already took his aroma within my being,
he told me that he was free like the air,
he was free like the pigeons, he was free
and I believed him,
Now it's late madam
Now no one is able to separate him from me
he told me that he was free
like a vagabond, he was free
like a dried leaf, he was free

Rosetta Mission
The ESA( European Space Agency in Darmstadt, Germany) sent a space probe, the Philae probe by spacecraft, the spacecraft is called Rosetta and today Philae has successfully separated from Rosetta and it drives towards 67P comet.
It is an important milestone of history of mankind to achieve landing on a comet.
There is a problem with the landing system if Philae finally rebounds after impact on the ground but is is expected some harpoons are enough to grab by itself to the ground.
Writing this entry, I have seen like controllers of the mission have started to raise their arms on signal of happiness. They have succeeded on probe landing.
Philae started his journey from 22 kilometers from 67P comet with a speed of 18 centimeters per second and rising along the path.
LINK on LIVE
Something rather peculiar is the recording captured by the prove close to the comet.
Wow! 500 million of kilometers out from The Earth.

The Thousand Paper Cranes
The 6th of August of 1945 US made burst two atomic bombs over the civil population in Japan. At less than 2 kilometers of distance from one of the detonations, near the bridge Misasa(Hiroshima), lived Sadako Sasaki, a just 2-year little girl is not involved with all that is going to mean in her life.
Nine years later after that, when Sadako turned 11, she started to feel bad while was running by the field. Immediately she was taken to the hospital where was diagnosed leukaemia. Many thousands of people developed this disease after being exposed to radiation from atomic bomb. When she knew this
Chizuko Hamamoto, a good friend of Sadako, spoke her about an old Japanese legend well known as Senbarazu or the legend of the thousand cranes from Origami. According to this legend, the crane will grant you a desire to those who are able to make a thousand paper cranes.
Chizuco Hamamoto made the first crane with gold paper and sent it to Sadako for that she goes on making the rest, nine hundred ninety nine.
Sadako while was inside hospital took any piece of paper that she found to make a crane. When she didn't find paper then she took the labels from the medicines to make the cranes of origami with them. She patiently kept this labor during 11 months while she remained in the hospital. Not even for a day while she was within, she stopped to take the minimal chance to carry on her target.
The little Sadako died the 25th of October of 1955.
She achieved 644 cranes. After she died, her family and school mates finished her work and it was made a statue to pay a tribute for her. Lyrics

9 November
Today is a special day.
From one hand, Spain is living a controversial day. Nationalisms are on the rise, in differents regions. Cataluña, is celebrating an unofficial referendum, where people have to say if they want to be a state different. The result will be possitive because only people for the independence are going to vote. It's a crazy day. The fight between the Prime Minister of Spain and the "Prime Ministre ( The person who manage Cataluña's Govern), has been on the newspapers, in all TV.... They wanted to be compared with Scotland, But both cases are differents.
This grown (of nationalisms), is very dangerous for our society. Before, Europe was divided, later, joined and now some countries want to be independents.
On the other hand, Germany is celebrating the 25th aniversary of the fall of Berlin's Wall. It's a great event. 25 years ago, the county was divided in two parts. Families divided, people was angry, sad ... but now 25 years later, all are the same country. One of the strongest countries not only of the UE but also of the World.
I wish the example of Germany guides us in the future.

My daughter, the one from home, has two children and my other daughter has three children, and as to me ,"his servant", I have got Ohtón, who is the most precious treasure of my life.
I am his family.
I took care of this child upon not being his mother with me, or with him, better said. Because she left me it placed in a hospital. Because she was 16 and had 2 children.
I have been working, washing, ironing, cleaning up. And that way I spent my time, fighting to raise him.
Meanwhile my children was going to school, after they had to leave the school because I couldn't pay their material.
Now, I have been with him 16 years ago, falling and standing up, begging for one potato, one carrot. But in that way I raised him, by fajitas, sweetbread, liver, rice. Because he is a person of very worth.
He is my blood, he is my child, he is my child for me, he is the son of my daughter.
It is also really sad that my daughter doesn't love him.
I feel alone so much. I need great courage for that my child and me get ahead.
While me having strength and health, I will take care because, probably the future of my son is black.
Because I wonder, When I were absent. Who will lend him a hand?
TRANSCRIPTION: Look my love, what delicious it is.

I wonder. Whatever will be of you? my love. you have learning to take care himself, it is your future and I have not left long lifetime ahead for me. I am already tired, I am elder my love, I'm 86.
If God doesn't allow it and I fall then I would fracture me and so my son would have no therapy and no attention.
Because of I could move me with my child. It makes feel a loser. Everything that I had dreamt for him, I am not going to get.
But if I don't get ahead, he won't either. Except if God moves his soul and if he hasn't mercy of me, that he put an angel to take care him.
When I arrived at hospital, the first time, I said: Oh my god, you have given the chance for that my son gets ahead here, it's nice for me.
She feels very happy in therapy centre and has a lot of faith and hope. I like my son to study and to have friends.
The institution is called Infant recovery center Teleton.

Orphan Foal sleeps in the Arms of a Teddy Bear.
Breeze, a little foal has been found by rescue teams from Dartmoor national park a few hours of being born. His mother abandoned him and he has been having a serious dehydration which could put his life in danger.
Luckily Breeze was rescued and moved to a closely farm where it was finally achieved to save his life by through so much caring. His mother was never found.
A short time after to arrive to the farm, for that he didn't feel alone, his caretakers decided put a Buttons in the stable, a big teddy bear. The Breeze's reaction was immediate and since then he remains inseparable each other, he plays with him and always sleeps in his arms.
The farm's staff of this little story says that Breeze finds in the Button bear, maternal heat nearby that he needs and which has been adopted as his mother without problems.
I have got some doubts in this regard. May be that the little foal prefers to sleep on the soft arms of the tiddy bear instead of on the straw, but something tells me that he keeps needing his mother. Sometimes I wonder why nature is so wise for somethings but so cruel and uncomprensible for other ones.

Tommy, The Dog that Goes to Church Every Day
It is unusual to see a dog within a church and even more see how the animal patiently waits, in front of the altar, for the priest begins the mass.
It is what happens into a little church on the outskirts of Rome for several years ago. The dog, a 12-year-old German Shepherd that answers to the name of Tommy, goes, without exception, to church for more than six years.
The place wherein he patiently waits for the mass to finish is the same place where he saw his owner, already dead, for the last time whose funeral celebrated in the same church.
From then until now, Tommy patiently waits her returning. Sometimes sleeping other times simply in silent.
When the mas finishes and they all go out, Tommy remains there. A day more, her owner doesn't return. Probably he don't know she won't never do it.

The Story of All Those Who Gave their Lives for a Dream
Franz Reichelt was a humble tailor from Paris of beginning of 20th century, Franz had a dream: he was able to invent a suit that would became a revolution as parachute. During some years, he studied the Leonardo Da Vinci designs and created the one that would be the suit that would take to fame.
The morning of 4 of February of 1912, Franz got together to some friends and personalities of that time in front of Eiffel tower to demonstrate his invention can fall softly up to ground without suffering hurt and from any height. Franz did a test with a doll, but is was a complete failure because it crashed to the floor violently. But Franze, far from reconsidering his aim, he argued that the doll upon not opening its arms, it couldn't implement the right technique along its fall and so in order to demonstrate all presents that his invention perfectly worked, he would be the one who would launch with the proper suit.
In the next video you can see the original film from such a jump which was recorded with both cameras, one from the ground and the other since starting point just before jumping down. You can see a man struggling to make his dreams for real. It was the last thing that he did.
Most people will only see to a mad man in this video, a poor devil who didn't know what he did. I see a man convinced of a dream.a man who had no doubt in to put his life in risk(and lost it) to try to come real.
This type of people with their ideals, perseverance and the necessary will to be able to defend them beyond to the others can think, or even beyond their own life, are those people who move the world. All those who along history with their achievements changed the course of mankind, did it thank to a dream. Dream which with will and unwavering faith came real.
However, most people prefer to renounce their dreams to avoid to take risk so wordly than those that Franz Reichelt accepted without batting an eye. Not to risk a job or part of our money is often reason enough , in all the cases, to resign a life condemned ostracism and mediocrity.
Most peculiar is that finally he dies likewise If we jump down as if we don't. Because of to jump or not to jump is only the difference between to die or to living death.

Leave Your Baby Here
There is a man in South Korea who is doing strange something with a wood mailbox. It is similar to some mailbox that are used to leave the mail in some countries, but in this case it isn't a mail which is deposited inside: the mailbox from the pastor Lee Jong-rak picks up the babies from other people... to get to save their lives.
The pastor Lee Jong-rak, from the Jusarang church in Seoul, South Corea, asks city people to abandon their children unwanted in his mailbox instead to throw them away on the street or in the garbage just like they were doing until now.
And so they do.
The pastor and his baby-container
The mailbox is available 24 hours, everyday a year.
There is warm and light inside. There is a microphone to get to listen to the baby.
The pastor Lee has saved from certain death to tens of babies
Pastor Lee said: There is no one unnecessary in the world.
It's incredible what some people do to save lives.

Envy
A friend of mine said me a day
that he felt healthy envy
of my verses which grace
love with poetry.
Envy is not a worth,
it is a wrong of the man
a deformed feeling
which corrupts friendship.
I rather give love
a lot of happiness and goodness.
In my heart, there will no place
for envy
One who feel envy suffers
the prejudices from the guilty one
who never listened to his/her mother
the tips of the childhood.
Finally, I give a tip
my friends and siblings,
It's better dying laughing than crying
for that that you have not achieved.
that he felt healthy envy
of my verses which grace
love with poetry.
Envy is not a worth,
it is a wrong of the man
a deformed feeling
which corrupts friendship.
I rather give love
a lot of happiness and goodness.
In my heart, there will no place

who never listened to his/her mother
the tips of the childhood.
Finally, I give a tip

It's better dying laughing than crying
for that that you have not achieved.

I Cried You A Whole River(Mexico)
I'm here crying a river,
sending me to the oblivion,
what an unfair thing, my love.
You were killing my passions,
crossing my songs out,
you had me trampled,
I was hopelessly ill
it isn't fair, no Bebé
But this world already turned
and now you got to lose
Bebé*, I cried you a whole river,
Bebé, I cried up to burst,
oh no, you have no heart,
I am not going to love you again,
I cried you a whole river,
now cry me a sea.
Don't already look for me, it's late
I have already another love,
a pretty Chilean
who swims on my skin,
I forgive you, there is no grudges,
but only the sorrows
my soul is clawed,
when crying I left the soil wet
....

Grupos Anónimos
Probablemente ya conoces la organización Alcohólicos Anónimos. Es una organización que ayuda a personas superar la adicción de alcohol. No la conozco bien, pero he oído hablar de sus "Diez Pasos" hacia recuperación y sus grupos locales en los que se encuentra apoyo y responsabilidad. Se ha convertido en un modelo para el tratamiento de otras adicciones y enfermedades.
Menciono esto porque escuché el otro día algo gracioso en la radio. Dos hombres hablaban al principio del programa, cuando uno sugerí que el otro solía dar largas respuestas a preguntas. (En inglés podríamos decir que él habla "on and on and on".) "¿Demasiado largas?" dijo el acusado. "Bueno, sólo déjame decir que me alegro de que te has inscrito en un grupo de "On-and-On Anonymous".
