My expectations for this year

This school year I want to give the best of myself. During the ESO I didn't strive a lot and my grades weren't the best. I just wanted to pass the exam or the school year but I didn't care what my grades were. Now I feel more motivated to have better grades because then I feel better about myself and I don't have to worry about the cut-off mark of the course that I want to do after Batxillerat or whatever I end up doing. The better marks I have the more I want to study and maintain them, so I hope I can keep up during the rest of the school year as I have up to now.

Clinton wanted to curl up after Trump win

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38008954

Hillary Clinton has laid bare her disappointment at the fact that Donald Trump won the election. The democratic said she wanted to "curl up with a good book and never leave the house again". But in a speech at a children's charity she urged the audience to fight for american values and never give up. Clinton won the popular vote but lost to the presidency in the all important US electoral college. "Now I will admit coming here tonight wasn't the easiest thing for me", she said as she was honoured by the Children's Defense Fund. "I know many of you are deeply desappointed about the results of the election. I am too, more than I can ever express", she continued. "I knoe this isn't easy. I know that over the past week a lot of people have asked themselves whether America is the country we thought it was" she finally said.

Will Venice be loved to death?

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38027025

Venice recently has witnessed protests against landlords in the city letting their apartments to tourist instead of venetians. At the moment there are 55,120 people living in Venice. But it's a countdown, hundreds of people leave each year. In the past the population dropped suddenly because of the plague, now there is another plague, tourism.  French novelist Victor Hugo once said there are two things about a historic building: its use and its beauty. Its use is a matter for it's owner, but the beauty belongs to everyone. Some venetians make their money out of tourism meanwhile other businesses leave and their places are taken by more hotels. cruise ship and holiday homes. 

India train crash

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-38041755

Today, at 03:00 local time on Sunday fourteen carriages of the Indore-Patna Express derailed near the city of Kanpur. Rescuers are trying to save the injured people and take the dead people from the train. The cause of the crash is not known yet but the Times of India 's sources said that it happend because of a fracture in the track. 64 Most of the victims were located in two carriages near the engine which overturned and were very damaged. In sunday afternoon rescue workers are still using heavy machines to reach the survivors. Police has calculated at least 115 deaths and more than 150 injured people.

My future

I didn't know very well what I wanted to do in the future until not long ago. I want to finish batxillerat with great grades so if I ever change my mind and I want to study something else I can have options. But for now what I want to do is go to a make-up school and study to be a characterization make-up artist and work in movie sets doing the actors' and actress' make-up. I also want to learn more about sfx make-up, and what it is is the wounds, scars, cuts, burned skin and all of these things in movies or series done with make-up. My dream is to be able to dedicate my life to do this things and be able to life out of it.

Make-up and excess of make-up

More than once people has told me things like "you wear too much make-up" or "you change a lot with make-up than without it". First of all, it's obvious that I change with and without make-up because if I didn't I wouldn't wear it. And second of all it's my choise how much make-up I wear. I'm not about that no make-up look, so I'll go extra or I won't wear any. I don't wear make-up because I'm insecure or to make people like me. I wear it because I look at it as a form of art. Not everybody knows how to do a bold eyeliner or a good blended smokey eye. I like it because it can make me feel powerful and I can change it whenever I want. At the end of the day it's just make-up and it washes off, so I think people should care less and have more fun with it.

My opinion on the election's result

This past november 8 the USA elections for the next president were celebrated. I wanted Hillary to win, not because I like her, but because I didn't want Trump to be president. I was pretty sure that Clinton would win because the othe option was way to surreal. But when I was told that Trump had won at first I didn't believe it. Then I realized they were being serious and I got very sad. I don't understand why people would vote for him. I understand the motives behind the WASP voting for him, and the fact that he is different from the other candidates and everything. But what I couln't understand in first place is why any woman would vote him after everything he has said about women. But what's done it's done. I don't thing he will do everything he has said he will. I think that all the extreme things he said he just said to win the elecions and not to actually do them.

This song talks about how the governament and the people above us try to make us do what they want. It claims that no one can tell us what to do and that we are free and nobody can obligate us to do or say something we don't want to.

USA elections special

Positive things about Donald Trump:  He is a business man and he can create job places. He clearly knows how to negociate and not everyone knows how to do this. He would encrease the economy of the USA creating jobs.

Negative things about Donald Trump: He is a racist, man chauvinist and sexist.

Positive things about Hillary Clinton: She is very persistend and hard-working. She would be the first female presitent in the United States.

Negative things about Hillary Clinton: She is a liar and quite irresponsable because she leaked FBI emails.

The most difficult subjects

The subjects that I find the most difficult are spanish and latin. I study in the spanish advanced level and I don't like it because I study a lot and I put a lot of efford in the subject but I'm not good at it. Also I don't like the books they give us to read, I wouldn't choose them.
The problem with latin is that there are way to many ways to declinate words and you have to know all of them and when and when not to use them. The verbs are the same, there are 5 conjugations and each one works a different way. I like latin and I will continue to do it next year but it's not an easy language.

My favorite youtubers

I love watching youtube videos and basically the ones that I like to watch are about make-up, sepcial effects or beauty make-up. There is a girl who posts both types of make-up and I really like her channel, it's called Glam and Gore. Other beauty youtubers that I like to watch are NikkieTutorials, Jeffree Star and KathleenLights. They are very entertaining because you see the way other people do their make-up in different ways and you get very inspired.

Love movie

My favorite love movie is The Vow. I'ts about a couple who go out on a date and when they are coming back home they have a car accident and the girl gets hospitalized. When she wakes up she doesn't remember what happened, she is very confused and when she sees her husband she doesn't remember him also. He is very upset and asks the doctor if she will remember and the doctor says that maybe she will but it's not sure. They decide thay maybe the best thing to get her memory back is to live their life the same as before the accident. They try it but it's very difficult to ignore the fact that she doesn't really know him anymore. The girl moves out with her parents because she is uncomfortable. At the end, she ends up falling in love with him again even though she never has her memory back.

I choose this movie because it's very cute and it's about true love within couples.

Love Song

For all the times that you rain on my parade                               
And all the clubs you get in using my name
You think you broke my heart, oh, girl for goodness' sake
You think I'm crying on my own. Well, I ain't

And I didn't wanna write a song
'Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care. I don't,
But you still hit my phone up
And, baby, I be movin' on
And I think you should be somethin' I don't wanna hold back,
Maybe you should know that

My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
And I've been so caught up in my job,
Didn't see what's going on
But now I know,
I'm better sleeping on my own

'Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
You should go and love yourself

And when you told me that you hated my friends
The only problem was with you and not them
And every time you told me my opinion was wrong
And tried to make me forget where I came from

And I didn't wanna write a song
'Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care. I don't,
But you still hit my phone up
And, baby, I be movin' on
And I think you should be somethin' I don't wanna hold back,
Maybe you should know that

My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
And I've been so caught up in my job,
Didn't see what's going on
But now I know,
I'm better sleeping on my own

'Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
You should go and love yourself

For all the times that you made me feel small
I fell in love. Now I feel nothin' at all
And never felt so low when I was vulnerable
Was I a fool to let you break down my walls?

'Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
You should go and love yourself

'Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself
And if you think (you think) that I'm (that I'm) still holdin' on (holdin' on) to somethin'
You should go and love yourself


Per totes les vegades que plou a la meva parada
I a tots els clubs que vas entrar utilitzant el meu nom
Creus que m'has trencat el cor, oh per l'amor de Déu
Creus que estic plorant per la meva conta, no ho estic

I no volia escriure una cançó
Perquè no volia que ningú pensés que encara m'importes. No m'importes.
Però tu encara em truques
I carinyo he seguit endavant
I crec que tu hauries de ser algo al que no em vull aferrar
Potser hauries de saber que

No li caus bé a la meva mare i a ella li cau bé tothom
I mai m'ha agradat admetre que estic equivocat
I he estat tan ocupat en la meva feina
Que no vaig veure què no estava bé
Però ara sé
Que estic millor dormint sol

Perquè si t'agrada el teu aspecte tant
Oh carinyo hauries d'estimarte tu
I si creus que encara m'aferro a algo
Hauries d'estimarte tu

I quan em vas dir que odiaves als meus amics
L'únic problema eres tu i no ells
I cada vegada que em deies que la meva opinió no estava bé
I intentaves fer-me oblidar d'on venia

Totes les vegades que plovies a la meva parada
I a tots els clubs que vas entrar utilitzant el meu nom
Penses que vas trencar el meu cor
Ohhh noia, per l'amor de Déu
Creus que estic plorant
Ohhh el meu ohhh, doncs no ho estic!
All the times that you rain on my parade
And all the clubs you get in using my name
You think you broke my heart
Ohhh girl for goodness sake
You think I'm crying
Oh my ohhh, well I ain't!

And I didn't wanna write a song
'Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care, I don't
But, you still hit my phone up
And baby I be moving on

And I think you should be somethin' I don't wanna hold back
Maybe you should know that
My mama don't like you and she like's everyone
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
And I've been so caught up in my job
Didn't see what's going on
But now I know
I'm better sleeping on my own

Tourist Interview

Last Friday we went to Barcelona and we did some interviews to the tourists.

The first pair of tourists we interviewed had just arrived, they were a mother and a daugther. They came here by plane and they planed to stay for a couple of days. What they liked the most about Barcelona was the weather. They didn't have had time to visit anything because they just arrived and ate on a Burger King.

The other tourists I interviewed were from Amsterdam, and they has already been in Barcelona and they were staying here for three days. They just arrived as well but they visited el barri gotic, la catedral and el parc de la ciutadella. They knew a little bit of spanish and catalan and they were very nice.

Spring

Every year I get very exited about spring because it's my favorite station of the year. It's my favorite because it means the cold has gone away, and the rains will come and eventually the warm. I also like it because it's the in between of "cold" and hot, where you can leave the house at the morning with a jacket but then it gets hotter and you can wear a strap-less top or a short sleeves shirt. You don't sofocate but you aren't freezing. It also means Setmana Santa is coming and the time change. The afternoons seem more long and this time of the year makes me very happy and optimistic. When it's sunny outside in the afternoons it makes me want to go out running or with the bike and do things basically.

My Hobbie

My hobbie is doing make-up on myself. But not normal make-up, I really enjoy body painting and sfx make-up (it's gore make-up for horror or action films for example). I started doing make-up this year, a few months ago, I saw a video on youtube about a girl painting half of her face into a skull and I thought it looked very cool and I wanted to try it. I was very proud of the finish result, because it was my first time doing it and it came out very decently. After this I started doing make-up more frequently, watching videos and tutorials. At first I didn't have fake blood, or special paints or anything specific really, and I did this finger cut with things I already owned. This shows that you don't need a lot to do what you like as long as you are insistent and interested.

Alexander Khokhlov

Alexander Khokhlov is a photographer based in Moscow. He is known for his portraits where he mixes face-art and diferent textures to create an eye-tricking work.

His interest in photography started in 2007, but in 2008 was the year when everything changed and he discovered fashion and beauty photography. At this time he was studying courses and master classes, and he came  with his own ideas and he organized his firsts photoshoots.

In 2012 he created an exposition named Weird Beauty where all the pictures were photos of a model’s face painted in different ways but always in white and black. The photo Silhouette from Weird Beauty was chosen as the promo image of the 11th Dubai Film Festival.
And in 2013 he created 2D or not 2D with the collaboration of the make-up artist and also his wife, Valeriya Kutsan. This exposition transforms models into 2D paintings creating a really amazing efects where sometimes you can’t tell if it’s 2D or not 2D.

They also made some personification make-up. The result of the transformation into Marge Simpson made by Alexander and Veronica in 2014 was scary but attracting - the YouTube backstage video got more than 1,500 000 views and is still popular.

This time Alexander and Veronica are working on the project called Shapes and illusions. The new series continue author's challenge to transform people into different forms. This project combines the techniques of face-art, photography and decoration.

My new hair

Recently I bleached my hair. For a very long time I wanted white and silver hair, and the only way to do it was bleaching my hair. It didn't came out how I wanted. It was bright yellow because I had dyed my hair red, and the red turned into yellow. Then, they toned my hair with a purple toner, because the purple is the oposite of yellow in the color wheel and it would cancel all the yellow tones. It got a little better but it still looked blonde. The hairdresser told me I should buy purple shampoo and conditioner to take care of my hair and avoid it turning more yellow.

I wasn't happy with my hair and it wasn't getting better so I looked in the internet for a more powerful toner and I found one. I had to buy it on Amazon because it's not a very common product. It took two weeks to arrive and meanwhile my hair had grown more and I started to have dark roots. I used the toner and it cancelled a lot of the blonde on my hair. At the moment I'm not completly satisfied with my hair but because it's so dry I have to be very careful with how I treat it. I think I will dye it silver or pastel blue because I don't think the white it's going to show off on my hair.Es mostra FullSizeRender.jpg.Es mostra FullSizeRender.jpg.

The refugees' exposition

When we went to Barcelona with the high school, we saw an exposition about the refugees from Syria. I think that the exposition was really pretty, it was outdoors. The photos were a lot more original than what I expected, they weren't the typical photos about Syria and the refugees that you would find in a newspaper. The photos were colorful and beautiful eventhough the sad situacion of those people.
The picture that I choose was taken in a abandoned hotel in Greece used as a refuge for the regufees when they arrive to the island.
