Objetivo E Intención
"Desocupado lector: sin juramento me podrás creer que quisiera que este libro, como hijo del entendimiento, fuera el más hermoso, el más gallardo y más discreto que pudiera imaginarse."

Dóna'm El Silenci
Quan torni, voldria veure mil camps
esquitxats de pipiripís, voldria
sentir sang de primavera cantar
al negre de nit i al blau de dia;
però, sobretot, dóna'm el silenci
tranquil i pacient dels rengles de vinya,
dels lliris de cabana sobre els murs
i de la promesa verda del fruit.
Quan torni, voldria tenir els murmuris
del Sol enfonsant-se al mar, i voldria
pintar els dibuixos de l'escuma blanca
i el braç etern del far quan respira;
però, sobretot, dóna'm el silenci
de l'horitzó quan recull els estels
i el silenci de la llum que salta
entre la Lluna i el seu reflex.
Quan torni, voldria veure sis cares
plenes de somriures als ulls, voldria
la música d'abraçades, petons,
oasi d'acolliment i alegria;
però, sobretot, dóna'm el silenci
d'abans i de després de la pregària,
el silenci d'entre cançons, silenci
despert de pau, vida i estimar.

Fragmento del primer capítulo del Quijote:
In un placete de la Mancha of which nombre no quiero remembrearme, vivía, not so long ago, uno de esos gentlemen who always tiene una lanza in the rack, una buckler antigua, a skinny caballo y un greyhound para el chase. A cazuela with más beef than mutón, carne choppeada para la dinner, un omelet pa' los sábados, lentil pa' los viernes, y algún pigeon como delicacy pa' los domingos, consumían tres cuarers de su income...
Gracias, E. y S.

Saying Goodbye To 15
As my best friend said, yes, I'm saying goodbye to my 15's.
It's hard to believe I'm going to turn 16 in a few hours. But, as hard as it may be, it's the truth. And as usual, I'm wondering and thinking about this new year to come. What will it bring? What will it teach me? What will happen? What?
It's been a "tradition" to write a thoughtful post the day before my birthday, analysing the past year with all the details. So here it goes...
This year, the fifteenth year, has been a very special one, with plenty of unexpected but yet awesome changes and results. God's plans for my life continue to surprise me as I go on living. For instance, my going back to school. I know I've talked about this a lot, but it was such a shock for me at first that it is going to remain in my memory for the rest of my life.
The way I started my summer was so unexpected too that I couldn't really believe it at first. It did have an impact in my life too that was pretty strong, and I am still wondering why ever did that happen in the first place.
I have had the opportunity to meet plenty of wonderful new people this year, more than on the fourteenth year, or any other year, at that. I have learnt to overcome my shyness - wink - and feel at ease around people I don't know at all. I have developed a confidence I couldn't imagine in me. I have also developed a taste for culture in general, and things I used to consider boring at first, such as reading poetry or studying History, are enjoyable now. When I woke up on the 4th May 2008 I couldn't imagine that 364 days later I would have grown so much.
These are just a few examples. A lot of other things have happened this year, and everything has been a new experience, but it wouldn't have been what it has without all the people that love me and are always there for me. To my family, to my friends, to my school chums, to my teachers, to my fellow bloggers, to everybody I know... thank you. You have contributed in some way or other to make this year special, and all I can say is thank you, because there is no other way to express it.
And I pray that this year will too be a blessed one. That I may continue growing in every way. I am such a happy girl, and I'm thankful for that. It's a true blessing to be able to feel happy.

And So...
I'm going to be sixteen... in four days!
This year has sped by me so quickly... it's incredible how time flies as you get older.
Fifteen has been an awesome age in which I have learnt a lot, I would even say a lot more than other years! And so I pray that Sixteen will be another wonderful year...
Sweet Sixteen^^

Wet!
I was able to take these pictures on mid-Sunday. It had been storming for some hours, and then, quite out of the blue, the sun started to shine, and when I got the chance I went outside to take a few snaps.
This last one is my favourite. I just love the way the three little pearls of water shine in the sunlight!

The Many Faces Of A Cat
More of him... nothing to say, really, he's just a real pest when I happen to have my camera around, so the pictures are taken of him!
Total indifference...

Dumb, Lazy And Comfortable
This is Catacomb.
Nah, don't worry, that's just one of my many nicknames for him. But doesn't he look dumb and lazy?
Dumb, lazy, and comfortable.
Didn't I tell ya?? I was studying outside, doing some homework, and one time I got up to do something I don't remember, well, I came back, and this is how I found the 3S's
Nay, but I love him...
I love him... in spite of this. I was concentrated in studying my Catalan, so I wasn't paying any attention to him, and when I do that he gets mad, and consequently, I got bitten today. Nasty thing...

Le Ciel Bleu
"Ben ajagut a terra, com me plau
El veure davant meu en costa suau
Un prat ben verd sota un cel ben blau!"
Joan Maragall
El Muchacho De Los Ojos Tristes
Ni una simple sonrisa,
Ni un poco de luz en sus ojos profundos.
Ni siquiera reflejo de algun pensamiento
que alegre su mundo.
Hay tristeza en sus ojos hablando y callando
y bailando conmigo
Una pena lejana que llega ami alma
y se hace cariño
El muchacho de los ojos tristes
Vive solo y necesita amor
Como el aire necesita verme
Como a él solo necesito yo
El muchacho de los ojos tristes
Ha encontrado al fin una razón
Para hacer que su mirada ria
Con mis besos y mi gran amor
Ni su nombre conozco,
y ya quiero volver a encontrarmelo a solas,
Y en sus ojos de otoño,
dormir poco a poco
olvidando las horas.
Yo pretendo saber porqué extraña razón,
hoy sus ojos no rien.
Yo prentendo lograr,
con ternura y amor ver sus ojos felices.

Friday
It's Friday.
Okay, what does one feel when she has come to the end of a school week?
This week had been a wonderful week! I can't believe how quickly it has gone by. It has been full of wonderful times, funny memories, laugh moments... but let's explain what has happened.
Monday: It was an awesome day. I started with a good foot, and had a Spanish syntax exam. It went wonderfully and I had a great time doing it (yes, call me weird).
Tuesday: It was another great day, though it was a little harder for me because it's a bit of a difficult day. I have the subjects I like less, though I like all of them. We also had a Catalan exam, which wasn't so brilliant. Oh well!
Wednesday: It must be one of my favourite days this week. We have afternoons free on Monday, and we were able to advance a lot on our project. Also, I was able to attend my littlest brother's theatre representation! It was fantastic and I had a wonderful time.
Thursday: The best day in the whole week, for sure. It was St. George's day over here, and we didn't have school day, but the school itself organised various activities. I won first place in the Spanish prose competition, and I stood in front of the whole school! That was exciting. And later in the afternoon I went to the swimming pool with a school friend.
Friday: Today... well, it was another very satisfactory day. I had my English test - it went great, by the way, - and various lessons. And now I'm planning, thinking and trying to figure out when to do what. I really enjoy my busy, blessed life, in case you were wondering!
Okay, what does one feel when she has come to the end of a school week?

Centro Floral
So I have been experimenting with my Mummy's camera today, and decided to take pictures of the centre of some flowers we have. I really like these pictures and it is pretty easy, so it was a good exercise. Here are the results.
This one is my favourite.
This one didn't come out right, but I really like it because the sky is really neat and the cloud is very clear. Need I say that the flower was growing downwards?

Okay, many people have asked what happened to my camera, and so I am going to post a couple of pictures to show you what happened. I guess the sensor is wrong, or something like that.
Wrong colours, lines on the picture, darkness... etc.
Something is wrong. So I am thinking about buying a new camera because it would be very expensive over here to try and fix it, but I'm not sure about it. For now, Mummy has very kindly lent hers to me.
