Full Moon


I´ve just gone to put the rubbish out, and I have realised that tonight there is a splendid moon in the sky (tomorrow it will be full).

It illuminates all around: some clouds above, the sea and the shapes of the mountains. This kind of nocturnal landscape makes me think in walking in the countryside and taking photos.
When you look at it directly, the light that arrives to you eyes comes to be almost unbearable. In contrast, it has something that deeply attracts me. Am I under a moon´s spell?

Tomorrow, I´ll have to get up early, otherwise, I would try a short walk near my house. Maybe other day.

Where am I?


Between water and earth, between ligth and darkness, in the middle of nowhere, inside the deepest blue
outside outer space...

Travelling fast, dreaming,
just woken up, singing,
Landscapes passing,
pick my camera.

Try to capture the new day, but I can´t.
I have failed one more time, and then,
I will realise that I don´t want to arrive.
I will prefer to stay in a train, watching an endless dawn.

Rock the night

Today it´s Saturday, so let´s see what the city has for us. I am thinking about going to the cinema, but the only thing that I really know is that tonight I will see darkness and flashes, my ears will suffer and maybe I will attempt to dance. Let´s rock the nigth!

I've gone through changes
I've gone through pain
But there's not enough reason for me to go insane
I know the feeling, just when it grows
I'm in a rage up from my head down to my toes.

You know it ain't easy
Running out of thrills
You know it ain't easy
When you don't know what you want, what do you want.

Rock now, rock the night
'Til early in the morning light
Rock now, rock the night
You'd better believe it's right.

I know my limit
Just what it takes
When things ain't good enough
I just pull the brake
Sometimes it's easy
Sometimes so tough
But just have one thing clear
I can't get enough.

Here comes the weekend


Yes, It´s Friday. And many people associate this day and the nexts with fun and relax. Here is a bit of the opposite feelings ;)

Every shape

of every word you say
that breaks the silence
of an ordinary day.
Every look
that seems to mystify,
every single smile
that spins me to the sky.
It makes me wanna run,
it makes me wanna hide.
Cos you're the only one
that makes me come alive.
It's getting closer now and darker by the hour.
It only goes to show
that here it comes,
here comes the weekend
and I'm on my own again
with a Saturday in the rain.
Here it comes,
here comes the weekend.
The fine line from pleasure to pain
is making me cry.
When will I see you again?
Every breath,
every vision you make.
Every chance in love
you love to take.
Every move
that seems to alter my world.
Every dream
I've had about this boy and this girl.
It makes me wanna run,
it makes me wanna hide
cos you're the only one
that makes my love alive
and time is running fast into a new goodbye.
It only goes to show
that here it comes,
here comes the weekend,
another walk down that lonely lane,
another Sunday that feels the same.
Here it comes,
here comes the weekend.
The fine line from pleasure to pain
is making me cry.
When will I see you again?

Cherries

I have just realised that long time have passed since the last time I ate a cherry. I don´t remember exactly when, but I suppose it was springtime. I like cherries, but if I have to choose a fruit, I would pick an apple.

Yesterday, I went to the supermarket and bought three different kinds of apples. Red ones, greens and a mix of red and white. Each one have a different taste, but I enjoy all of them. When I have to choose one kind, I prefer acid and green ones.

Apples remind me the Summer, now that calendars tell us that´s finishing. And when I look back and try to remember what I did and didn´t during this period, I feel that "dids" are more than "didn´ts", so I make a mental note: Summer of the 2007, passed. And let´s go for the Autumn! :)

Traffic jam

Today, I have suffered an enormous traffic jam. I got stuck at the motorway. People faces were resigned, concentrated, frustrated, ... In this cases, I preffer to concentrate more in the music that I´m listening, and to avoid looking at the clock. I expect they will finish the third lane before the year ends, so there will be hopefully no more problems.

Finally, I arrived to my destiny: Two hours of German class, till the night arrived. It was a pleasant time, and I didn´t realise it ended untill the bell rang.

The return was faster: Carlos Sainz mode ON, less cars on the road and a hungry me. I have arrived on dinner time. Triple-egg-omelette (with cheese) and a drink of coke. Hello, bed, (I´m torn out...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) I´m going to dream with a road empty of cars ;)

First of all


Hello everyone!

I don´t really know how to start. Well, I´m going to try writing some kind of diary in English, although I´m not a native english-speaker.

And, why? Because my English teacher has encouraged us to do it, to improve writing skills. So, there will be mistakes. Feel free to tell me about them.

Now that I have done some kind of introduction, here we go: My name will be kept in secret for the moment. You can call me "Alado". I´m a Spanish guy who lives in the Canary islands, exactly in Tenerife. I want to improve in English, so I´m starting my last year (5th) at the official languages school. I also want to learn German, but I will tell you about that tomorrow...

So that´s all folks! Welcome to this, my new blog

Was ist das?

Das ist ein personales blog, wo ich schreibe in Englisch.

Englisch ist nicht mein Muttersprache. Ich möchte besser in Englisch schreiben.

Kommentare kann man in Deutsch, Englisch oder Spanisch schreiben. ;)

So, viele danke fur lesen mir!!!

¿Esto qué es?

Bueno, pues éste es un blog personal, en el que escribo lo que se me ocurre, en inglés.

¿Por qué? Pues la razón es intentar mejorar la expresión escrita en el idioma de Shakespeare.

Eso no quiere decir que no se pueda comentar en castellano!! ;)

Saludos, y gracias por leerme.
