I wish I had known how to ski when I was younger. I enjoyed Alberto's hobby presentation about skiing, but I grew a little bit envious.   We are entering Christmas time and my wife is already baking delicious cookies, therefore I wish I could eat as many as I wanted without getting fat.  (I will try and exercise them out later!). I wish I will be able to go on enjoying the little things of life (cookies included!) with the people I love.

One of them is Ironic. It was the first Alanis Morissette's hit in Spain, in 1996 belonging to the album Jagged Little Pill. It's a very fresh song and I like it mainly for the chorus about the way life has in handling things. I think it's completely true. I also think the song only says "negative things" because these are the ones someone usually would see in their own life, not the positive ones. Besides, the video is very funny because Alanis plays four different characters, and the ending goes to the matter of the song. Alanis Morissette - Ironic An old man turned 98 He won the lottery and died the next day It's a black fly in your Chardonnay It's a death row pardon two minutes too late And isn't it ironic, don't you think? It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take And who would've thought, it figures Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly He ...

 The first day in class I said that my hobby was traveling with my wife. It's true, but I found it very difficult to talk about it for this presentation. So, I decided to ask the person who knows better than me almost everything... Yes, you're right: my wife! This is she. And what she told me was that I needed to be more specific, to choose one trip or one topic, think about what I want to communicate, and take into account what media I could use. Besides, I realize that I usually take photos, every time, everywhere, so perhaps photography could be my hobby. I enjoy it, but I'm not a professional, so this could work as a hobby! The first thing for the presentation: I checked the files on my computer... Too many... I need to be more specific, so I turned into Instagram... That's better! Second, I thought about what I wanted to tell for this meeting. I realized that of those Instagrams pictures there was a kind of travel that would be incomplete unless it was told. It beg...

My dream trip would be a "round the world trip". We almost did it as honeymooners, and we always fantasize about completing the trip. It was funny to cross the International Date Line, nothing changes, but a day in the calendar. I would combine cities and places we have visited with new ones. I would travel twice around the world. One by the northern hemisphere, to see the Aurora Borealis, visit again Japan and knowing LA for the first time. Then we would turn to the south side, visiting Hawaii again and mainly nature on other continents.    

Next Saturday I´m eating at my favorite restaurant. It is called "La Chimenea", in Guadarrama, and the two things I like most about it are the food and the feelings that I have every time I go back there. It's the place where we celebrate special occasions since I was young. I like its  large steak from Sierra de Guadarrama and its famous homemade croquetas.
