Goodbye

Well, I am going at the end of this blog. It has been eight thousand worlds. I put on it my own reflections. I admit that almost all of my reflections were about the same theme: Life. But it is what is really important for us, isn’t it? I wrote about two series that I recommend everybody to see, and finally I write about the Slow Movement too. 

Slow Movement

Slow movement is a cultural current that promotes calm human activities. The Slow Movement proposes to take control of time. This is aimed by giving priority to activities that lead to the development of people, finding a balance between the uses of technology and taking time to enjoy activities such as taking a walk or sharing a meal with other people. The believers of this movement think that the most important things in life should not be accelerated. This movement appeared at 1986 in Rome. It was an objection against the opening of a McDonald’s restaurant in Piazza di Spagna.

Some days ago I have discovered that a mattress company is using this protest to promote itself. The company encouraged two young persons to being locked in a little room with the indispensable elements and a very big bed. Cami has 33 years, she said that she dedicates her life bringing tranquility to the others. Iván, who have 36 years old, agrees with her. Both, Cami and Iván wanted to defend this movement. They want to live without stress. They have a web: www.40diasenlacama.com . In this website you can see them at present time. They both have a blog too. In the blog the write every day, telling us all his movements. According to my knowledge of this protest, I think that each day, they both expend the day doing one theme like: the rural life, driving, traveling, cities, clothes, education…   

I am really impressed about the occurrence of FLEX. This idea has given different feelings. I think that is another silly way to promote the company and it does not worth all the support that they are receiving. After all they are making money with the condition of being in a bed for forty days and staying in front of a webcam. I have to admit that being forty days in front a cam does not be easy for me. What about you? What do you believe? I dare you to give your conclusion there.

The 1000 Mirrors' House

Time ago I heard a beautiful story of a house with a thousand mirrors. I don’t know if it is a popular story but it is a good reflection.

One day, a little friendly dog came in an abandoned house. What was its surprise when it discovered another 1000 little cute doggies looking at it as nice as it. When it barked or wagged his tail, the other dogs answered the dog with the same gestures. ‘What a wonderful place’ –thought the dog- I will have to come here more often.

Another day, another dog came into the house. The other 1000 dogs look at it with mistrust and the dog had a bad sensation and felt that it never want to return back another day.

You are the only responsible of the face that you wear inside and outside you. Some of the most beautiful things are not possible to see or touch; they are felt with the heart.

Dear brother,

Dear brother,

You are not a kid. You are growing up and I passed for that some time ago. You are now a teenager and you can do more and better things. Be aware of this and be careful with what you do because at your age it is really easy to miss yourself. This is a new stage at your destiny; it is a new opportunity for becoming more complete internally. Imagine: it is like an open door in the heaven, you see the clouds (freedom) but you cannot touch them at all. Everything will arrive. What I am trying to say you is that you have to be awake and feel everything passes round you. There is not tomorrow for starting living, there is today. You have to try to demonstrate that you are better at something you like than the others. You must compartmentalize your life from now and choose what kind of person would you like to be. You must remember some important words: love, hate, help and time. LOVE and HATE are two feelings you will have to feel constantly. Luckily there is more love than hate in the life. You know?  A lot of persons are going to pass through your life, the only that worth are people who causes in you whichever of this feelings. Mournfully, there will be another people who will not cause any of these sensations. If you love anyone, you must take care after him or her. If you hate anyone is because of the person you hate someday brought something at your life, you wanted took care after this person but he or she hurts you. Try to fix it up if it has any solution. If it don’t, don’t be worthy about it. Eventually this person will give you equal. Believe me. HELP: sometimes, you will have to help the others and another time you will get help. But you must understand the world ‘help’, because it is really easy to become a weak person who always needs help or to became this kind of person who always is helping and never gets anything in change. Oh! I would like you to remember that time is like money, you should save it, not waste it. With this I don’t want you to say that you are banned to ‘buy’ your whims, of course yes! But only buy these whims that will make you feel happier. Finally, if anything should be clear in your mind is that nothing is impossible. You can be whatever you want. Everything starts in your imagination. You must imagine that you are the best at something and you will be able to achieve to be the best. If not, you only will be a dreamer. Your destiny is full of possibilities; do not miss this opportunity that life gave you. Are you ready? Your life is waiting you and you have to come out and go for her. 

Disney

Yesterday night my friends and I decided to listen to the songs that our generation used to sing. We had such a great time signing. Actually, we were arguing about how “instructive” were the Disney’s films which we watched when we were kids. It is true that it made us believe in a princess’ world but it show us a lot of human values. Disney’s films are full of moral contents. Who does not remember the Beauty and the Beast, for example? It shows us believing in the inner beauty. And what about Pocahontas? With this film we learn that we have to love people regardless their race like John Smith and Pocahontas. I could talk about Mulan, the fighter princess too. Or I could talk about The Lion King too. I am able to say a lot of films that contains any positive value to form us spiritually. But now, the films are changing. I think (and my friends too) that the kids are not enjoying the typical instructive animation films. Now these kind of films are about aliens, super villains and children who save the world with the company of a robot. It is quite different. And what about the Disney’s soundtracks? Almost all of my generation could sing at least one of the lots of soundtracks of these films, the songs had a very big moral value and they were catchiest. And now? Now nothing of these happens.

STRESS

Well, the exams are going nearer and nearer. We have a lot of tasks to do and I am so stressed. I have panic at the exams and I am thinking how I can study and do all the things that I have to. Time ago I decided to make my own schedule of the homework that I have to do. Everything was perfect but today and part of yesterday I had problems. Almost all the homework depends on Internet, the Aula virtual, information, the homework of Documentación EVERYTHING that I had already planned for these two days. New technologies are good, are useless and faster than the other media for searching information and read news … But, on the other hand, I would like to say that sometimes these technologies fail. Sometimes the information which are we looking for is not correct at all because of everybody is internet. Sometimes Internet fails and if it happens, it will make me spend a lot of time with my homework. This is just the fact that was happening to me for 2 followed days. I think that is increasing our dependency from internet and this is bad. We think that Google is the world (OF COURSE NOT).  Is very comfortable and easy to use but it can make you to make mistakes. It makes me spend two whole afternoons and I became stressed. Finally, at night, the problems on the red were fixed and I decided to spend all the night (since 5 AM) doing part of the homework and I realized that I need more than 24 hours a day to get it all. But I’m sure that I can! I always can, though it costs me a lot and although I couldn’t sleep enough. 

How I Met Your Mother

First of all I want to say that this series have been very criticized because of his similarities with ‘Friends’ another American sitcom that was running between 1994 and 2004.

The sitcom reflects the story of how the main character, Ted, met the mother of his two sons. The present Ted is at the year 2030, and decides to tell his sons the story of how he met their mother and the story starts at 2004, when he met Robin Schertbastsky. Since that day, Ted will live a huge number of adventures together with his friends: Marshall, Lily, Barney and Robin. He would meet a lot of different woman in order to marry with one of them and lay his head down. The sitcom is now running; actually the 6^th season is being broadcasted at the moment. I recommend you to see this series if you want to laugh and pass a great time.

Why?

Because we do not want find big answers at the end of the day. We just want to find little consolations. Over all that happen us in life, far above all our experiences, unresolved questions, regrets, doubts, decisions, failures, achievements, dislikes, satisfactions… deep inside everybody of us just need and want is not to die alone, die in peace and feel that our life worth.

Goodbye Lost

It is said that is based in a magic island. This island keeps inside the light of life, the dead, the reincarnation, the time… It needs care and protection because of its importance. The problem is that its protectors have to be humans. But, humans are not perfect. Who can blame them?

The history of Lost is based in a serious mistake. The mistake was committed for a woman who was the guardian of the island. This woman killed another woman and steals his two babies in order to become one of them in the future guardian. But the woman is not able to educate her adoptive sons. She was murdered by Samuel, one of his “sons”. The place of guardian was being free. Samuel and his brother (Jacob) just faced up forever, and besides they both cannot be killed for the other one.

Jacob wanted the revenge of the murder of his mother so he pushed his brother down into the hole she had to protect. The hole contained the light. Jacob causes the physical death of his brother and became Black Smoke. Samuel suffered something worse than the death. To create a “person” apparently immortal, crazy, and with the desire of revenge is Jacob’s mistake. This new Samuel wants to go out of the island though it means to brank it off.

The mysterious of the island attracts people and companies like Dharma which make a huge series of experiments with electromagnetism. It had been passing years and years of fights between both brothers since their mother died. Jacob knows that his brother will find the way to kill him and because of this he have the obligation to find another guardian of the island in order to preserve it because of this, Jacob allows people to stay in the island. He always tries solitary people who were lost on his life and even could find their salvation in the island. He chooses this kind of person because the ones who have a happy life will not want to stay in the island forever. It is just an act of egoism because he wants to repair his mistake and he does not care about how many lives will end up with because of it. People from different countries and religions had been staying into the island though the real task which the guardian must do is to take care of it and not allow anyone to enter in it. However Jacob was convinced about the goodness of the humanity and he was sure that he finally will get to find the appropriate person who is able to take care of the island in the way he does not know how to make it. Over the centuries Jacob gets to join a group of people (It is called The Others) to face up the Black Smoke. The presence of people in the island attracts the other people to go on it.

This puts us in the starting point of the series. We can see a plane accident. The flight 815 of Oceanic airlines fell down because of an accumulation of facts, or at best, because of the destiny. More than 40 persons were able to survive to the accident. From among this survivors, Jacob had been choose some candidates, like he have been doing last centuries. It might be the destiny which doesn’t allow Desmond to press the key and this fact was possibly the cause of the accident. In fact, the survivors took the plain just for running away from themselves. Lost is the story of the lives of every survivor and the stories of everyone who stays in the island as The Others or the workers from Dharma’s Company amongst others. We are going to know about what they are escaping for and we are going to understand his behavior on the island in the course of the series. Lost is after all the history of regret. Everyone in the island achieves feeling good with himself or herself. The stay at the island makes changes on the survivors because of their adventures, experiences and the people who they met there. They face up with their fears and panics. They achieve not having the necessity to go away of themselves or to escape from the island. They manage to be happy with their lives. Actually, they travel to the past for trying to change their present and future and they achieve provoking the accident of the flight 815 of Oceanic Airlines but they do not know it. Some of them manage to survive from all the adventures and all the deaths and sacrifices that the island and his inhabitants had made to end up with. The main cause of all this deaths was Black Smoke because he put ones against the others and made a revolution between all the ‘populations’ of the island. Finally, Jacob dies because of the conspiracy of Black Smoke who had convinced a huge number of persons for killing him discussing that Jacob is a bad person who wants to kill them and it does not matter the price. Finally, despite the death of Jacob, he was able to find the perfect guardian of the island: Hurley. Hurley was a kind and happy person who wonder his enemy to take care for the island all together. This is an example of something that Jacob did not know how to do because of his selfness. Finally I would comment that Lost is a history of death and overcoming. The characters accept their mistakes and they dream with the life that they could have got someday. Only when they accept the huge changes that the island has made on them and only when the feel the good influence that the other people that we met on the island, they will be prepared for advance.  Are they going to the purgatory? Are they going to become ghosts? Are they going to reincarnate in an animal? Each religion says us different explanations, and each person has one vision about the previous minutes of the death and about what is really death. Lost had taught us about the good and the bad things, the faith and the science, the life and the death, the chance and fate, but always in the point of view of some characters.

Dreams

It is said that everybody dreams at night. Some dreams are good, other dreams are bad and generally a few are so horrible that you need to forget them. Sometimes you have the feeling of having fulfilled a dream, sometimes you think how glad you are because of being wake up from this bad dream. But, do you know what? There are people who live in a constant nightmare practically all the time and they are wishing to sleep because this moment is the only moment that they could dream in a better life and thinking these is her real life and it is nice to be there. It is just for this that I want to encourage you to be glad and grateful for all those things that make your life a dream for others.

I dare you to chase and hunt your dreams like a haunter caught his prey. Can you hear me? Live until the rest of your life. When I am talking about living I mean that you have to squeeze every hour and every second of your life and enjoy it. You live only once, and although it is the most eternal thing for every person, I can told you that it is not enough. 

Fear

Have you ever feel fear? I am not thinking on the fear that feels a kid when he believes in monsters or ghosts that are hided in their closet or under their beds. I am not thinking about the panic that causes a horror film. I am just referring at the fear of: one world: NO, fear of making a mistake, fear of give too many things and get nothing in return, fear of becoming a dreamer, fear of having any expectation and fear because of all your plans and hopes fall down with a simple snap of fingers, fear of losing again, fear of living what you lived once and what you wish not ever been repeated. But life is life. Living is the more eternal action, and that’s why you have to learn how to fall and get up. You are going to lose and you are going to make mistakes, life without all of this would not make any sense. You have to risk, if you do not risk, you will be sorry for that things that you will not going to make because of the panic. So give up the fear and never be afraid. I will be always with you. We can together. 

False Famous Last Words

Do you know what? Sometimes the facts don’t be like we hope, I think that the famous last words of every fairy tale: ‘… and they live happily ever after’ don’t exist. I think that how really have importance is to be happy at present, to be happy right know. It is possible that how you are waiting will not ever arrive. But you must know that new facts are going to occur. You never know what the future will hope for you. Over the time, I learnt that you do not worth worry about the past, whatever happened, happened. You should not be worry about the future, only live the present and keep on all the good things. Sadness is completely useless, don’t eat your mind, it will not solve your problems. And remember that thinking about past, you cannot change the present. If I were you, I was concerned about take pleasure at present. Time tell us what will be coming later. Seize the day or die regretting the time you have lost. 

Friends2

Do you remember my entry on the blog called: `Friends`? Well, yesterday I achieve met all my friends. We haven’t been altogether since Christmas Eve. It was great the feeling of: like old times. I do miss those moments.

Time

To have the sensation of running countercurrent, like in a treadmill in which one, however you want to run, you’re always at the same point. When all could be worst and each time you have to run more and more, put more commitment for arrive, until you become tired, until your legs do not respond and until your lungs do not work enough and you let go of the bar, leaving you, going far away of all. It is like wage a long battle in which you are sure that you are going to lose. This is just fight against the time. Time runs, passes, causes pain, tramples on you… don’t forgive that. Time does not stop even you  wish it with all of your strength, even you close your eyes and put all of your concentration on it. The only thing you can get is to go back on that moment, go back at that day, at that place and remind all that you have lived, but only on your mind. Time talks, time tells you the truth and the lies. There is nothing than could deceive the time. Time puts everybody on his place. Time could give all and then snatch all away again. It is cruel; it separates you from what you want someday. Time could make that nothing will ever be the same.

Friends

First, I really like to say how my life has change since I was admitted at university. I used to live in Valencia, a big city. I used to live with my parents and I have always gone at the same school with the same partners and friends. Now, my life has changed: I live in Castellón, a small city; I live in a minor hostel with approximately 90 partners and besides I move on at almost 80 kilometers back home. Now I only have the opportunity to see my family and friends in my weekend’s free time. I feel how my life is moving on too with my studies. I have always believed that being admitted at university could change one person’s life but now I can see that it is a huge change: friends, family… I only have two days to spend with them and sometimes I can’t share out my time for everybody. Bit by bit I feel that my friends now, people who I’m sharing the experiences of my life, are in Castellón. I really love my old friends but sometimes I notice the distance between us and I miss them.

Back to the blog

Hi! I’m back. I have to write again a minimum of 4000 words although this time I want to change the theme of the blog. I’m not going to talk about films’ premiers, I just going to talk about whatever passes through my mind each day.
