Email from Cameroon!

Hi mum and dad!
What to say... I'll start by saying that work here in a small village of Cameroon is really challenging and hard work but this hard work is compensated with the well being of the people and I have to say that I have a great sense of achievment!

I can't comprehend how they can be so happy because their living conditions are truly horrible. There are a lot of ill kids here and I have to say that their living expectancy is quite poor...

Well... Life and work here is harsh but they know how to be happy despite of all their problems!

Is everything good in Catalonia? I hope so!
Miss you all!

The Pacific

The Pacific is a ten-part television World War II series produced by HBO that I have been quite addicted to this last month! In 1943 a war started in Europe as we know but at the same time another war begun between America and Japan on the Pacific Ocean. You might have heard of this war if I mention about the catastrophe that happened at Pearl Harbor… The Japanese did an unexpected attack to America, concretely Pearl Harbor! They bombed the whole Harbor killing thousands of American people and destroying many war ships. That is how the war between America and Japan started… Like many wars, it was a horrible war where many young men of my age died in combat and also suffered many injuries; living conditions were horrible and many of them died of hunger, thirst and tropical diseases…
You just have to imagine it! Imagine the whole of our class forced to go to war and only the 10% of us come back out of the original 100%! Life back then was hard and cruel and luckily this has changed so we have to be grateful with what we have got and respect all of those that died back then!

It’s a shame that these things are still happening… We never learn from our mistakes it seems like!

I recommend this ten-part television series to everyone that is interested in wars and so on… I have to say, it’s very sad to see!

Internet!

Internet? Internet! Internet... I think that internet is one of the best things mankind have ever created. What would we do if they took the Internet from us? I wouldn’t know what to do with myself? Humans cannot function without Internet!
We have so much information there and it’s so easy to use... It’s probably the quickest method to use to search information. Internet has got a lot of good and positive aspects but it also has its bad ones!
Is the information in the Internet actually that solid, is it that true? You have to think that everyone can add information, kids, scientists, uncultured people, people that just want to hurt other people... We can’t guarantee that the information is valid but we like to think it is! The worst thing for me is when people hang up their personal information on Internet like photos, your address, where you live, etc.
If you think for one second or just meditate what you’re actually doing you’ll realize that you’re just doing a big mistake!
Think about it, a burglar or a murderer can obtain all of our information and the use it to get to us... How many times have we seen families destroyed because one of their kids has been on a chat line with a murderer without him knowing it and the meeting up?
I personally think that as we progress in technology, the more we give out our personal information without knowing it!

We will have to be more careful from now on!

Addicted to... Hell yeah! Interent!

Weekend!

Today is another horrible Sunday! Horrible because I know that tomorrow I have to wake up 7:30 am! Same routine...
Oh well! I’ve had a quite good weekend anyway! On Friday after College I slept the whole afternoon because I was so knackered of all the studying I did during the week. I woke up at 18:45 only because I had to go to Homework Class and later on I went to my Handball training. While I was training I was invited to a dinner one of my best friend was doing, so I couldn’t refuse! We did a huge barbecue and we were about 15 people. We ate sausages, chicken, lamb, hamburgers, alioli, cheese, a couple of beers and a chocolate cake! When we finished eating I went to pick up Clara because she was at a Bday party and we went directly to a bar called “Can Different” in Empuriabrava and after that I took Clara back to Fortia!!!
Yeah I know... I also get the feeling that they use me as Taxi! 
Saturday I went to a match in Bordils and we drew with the other team (32-32), it was quite disappointing because we were winning by 5 or 6 during the whole match but the last 4 minutes of the match we lost our spark!! Ooh snaaap...
I got back at 9pm in Empuriabrava, ate something out with my dad and then I went to go and pick up Clara and then go back to Empuriabrava to go to Síkim.

I got home that night absolutely destroyed and slept in really late this morning... The rest of today I’ve been chilling out! Well, I took Clara back home!

Coca Cola!

Hi there! Today I would like to talk about my favourite drink; Coca cola! Do you know that Coca cola was first used as medicine? Yup, they used it to relieve bad headaches, later on, as it gained good reputation they commercialized it and turned into one of the best well-known drinks in the world! Pretty incredible don’t you say?
What’s really surprising is that no one but the one that invented this commercialized knows the secret formula, they know some of the ingredients but none of us know all the ingredients and what quantity of the ingredients is used to make this special drink. It is said that the one who invented it has an apprentice that also knows how to make it because the creator isn’t going to be around forever...
It’s a very nice and refreshing drink on a hot sunny day but have you ever left a piece a meat during the night in a glass of Coca Cola or even your fallen out teeth? Damn... When you wake up that morning you find... if you find... a black tooth totally rotted away or the smallest piece of rotten meat! Imagine what large quantities of Coca-Cola can do to your organs! A lot of damage and that’s for sure! Mexico drinks 135,8L per family each year, then there’s America 96L and just behind Spain with a total of 95,4L per family each year! Spain, as we see is also a great consumer of this drink and I personally consider myself a big consumer of Coca Cola, I guess Clara too, Marta specially, Jake and so on!

I feel like having a very cold Coca Cola now! So I’m going to get one despite of all the bad things it does to us!

Man I hate them!

Man, I’m really starting to get annoyed with all this volcano ash trash! I think you know what volcano I’m talking about right? Yeah, the one in Iceland called… Some really weird name… Eyjakfalla or something like that!
As we know, this volcano has forced airports to close and flights to be cancelled… There’s the problem… Just that day my mum WAS going to Sweden but surprise surprise she never went because of the ash in the air!
I do love my mother you know? But, everyone needs a break from each other from time to time in my opinion! Well in the end that became the least of my worries really because every family needs a mum in the house, because otherwise us men live in a pig style… I hate saying it but its true! Who does my lunch, diner, washing up, cleaning, drying, scrubbing, shopping… mmmm… Mum! Well I have to say that mum went to Sweden a week later for a couple of days and the house is… well… how to put it… less clean than before!
This volcano has not only cancelled my mum’s flight, but it has also cancelled a concert I was going to in Barcelona! I couldn’t believe it! I was like; not again! What the hell! I was looking forward to that concert real badly… The best thing is that they cancelled it in November because the singer was ill and then it was cancelled last week because of the volcano! The real bad news is that they’re going to do the concert at Sant Joan, and all my friends aren’t going… Will I go alone? N0 I won’t!

I hate volcanos even if it’s a part of nature!

Final weeks of College!

These are finally the last weeks of College and probably one of the most stressful times yet, but life has to get harder for it to get easier later on! Everyone has gone through the same thing and everyone has managed so… I guess I’ll have to do the same thing won’t I?
Anyways, I have to celebrate because I have actually gone up this semester in Philosophy with a 7, and this last Chemistry exam I had an 8’4! Finally! I’ve been the whole year just scraping through and I’ve finally gained a positive result! I hope everything stays the same and I hope that I improve this last 3 weeks of College!
This is what I usually say: I you want something really badly; you’ve got to work for it! So that’s the stage in life I’m right now, I’m struggling but I’m working for it… I’m not the only one in this position do… luckily… everyone’s working so hard and we’re all so tired… We need a huge break and believe me, this summer I’m going to enjoy it big time! I’m going to party like I’ve never done before, I’m going to go explore like I’ve never done before and I’m going to work like I’ve never done before to have in the end a lot of money! Well that’s what I hope anyway!
Final push, I’m knackered but it is the last one!!!

Good luck to everyone for this next month!
We can do it.
