Shopping Tips

Shopping tips        

Before shopping

     First of all, you need to live in a shopping area, with lots of shops to visit and go to.

 

     If you live far away, it might be a good idea to organise shopping trips with your friends to the main shopping cities in the world, such as Rome, Paris and London.

While shopping

     Try not to spend too much time in the same shop. If you do, make sure you look around and you don´t spend too much time without looking.

     Don´t act like a shopaholic. Think before buying, asking yourself if you can afford it, and if you really like it. If you have any doubts, do not hesitate to ask the employer, or your friends.

     If you are looking for clothes, try them on before buying them, and look for a variet of colours and sizes. Who knows? You might find something better !

      After Shopping

     Don´t worry too much if you don´t like something, you may have the opportunity to return it, so make sure you don´t lose your ticket !

 

What kind of shops do you go to ?

     If you are planning to spend small amount of money on clothes, Bershka, Zara or Springfield are some good options.

     However, if you have enough money, Abercrombie,  Dior or Escada are some of the best ones. Although they sell quite expensive products, they have good quality.

Rebecca Black, Friday.

Rebecca Black, Friday.

March 14th of 2011: some people know that is the national day of Italy, but most people remember that day instead as the birth of the song ``Friday´´; it´s also known as the apocalypse of the Internet. It was born in

the USA, its parents are Clarence Jey and

Patrice Wilson and the doctor that helped

it to live it was Rebecca Black.

The reason for its creation was simple, the

politicians wanted to take the attention from

themselves, so they needed something to

entertain people. Someone shouted

``thank goodness that tomorrow is Friday´´, so

they decided to destroy that day, the best day

of the week... With a song.

The main lyrics are about a girl that is very

tired of all the week. So magically, in 8 seconds arrives Friday from nowhere. Then she is super-happy just as if she had an attack of adrenalin and goes to every party of the city –give me a second for a question, are just the people that appear in the videoclip the population of the city?- and nobody knows what happens after Friday. Some people say that maybe politicals will make another song about Saturday to entertain people and forget their problems, but some people are so lazy that they thought after the song her favourite day of the week is Monday, just like everyone that appears in the video.

``Oh, this is the best song in the universe!! They should give her a oscar for her song!´´

Quoted words from a fangirl of Rebecca Black. My opinion is that it´s the worst song in the world, and if your intention was to create the next world war, you already did it!! The figthers are you and Justin Bieber... versus all the world!!

Seriously!! Why don´t you shut up and wait for Friday quietly?? Since when can teenagers of 13 years old drive a car?? They should arrest you for being under 18 years old and making the best day of the week to the worst!! Do you know that normal people go to school on the bus and do exams? They don´t skip school only for a stupid party! And if all the problems are because you don´t know where to sit, remember you that you have eyes and a brain, or did you lose it? You can sit perfectly where there´s enough space! You know another thing? After Sunday... Comes Monday...

The last thing... If you are always saying `` Lookin' forward to the weekend´´, I think you should move to Weekendland! There´re still people that are feeling the virus of ``Fridayache´´, the symptoms are waiting for Friday every week and not knowing where to sit. The places where they are seen most are in the USA, UK, Japan and Spain; the worst thing of it... that... I love Friday, and I can´t stop listening to it, the fangirls of Rebbeca made me already crazy! So don´t let her invade you and give you Fridayache!!!

P.S.: Challenge for the most valiant, let´s see if you can LISTEN TO THE FULL VERSION:

The Big Bang Theory

    Sitcom Review – The Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang theory is an American sitcom produced by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, two of the most prestigious producers. The Big Bang Theory is one of the most well known Tv shows and it has earned a lot of prizes for the actors’ outstanding performance. This sitcom uses intelligent humour as it’s a group of ‘ geeks’ with a rather unusual lifestyle, not to mention that irony is used very often.

The sitcom revolvesaround 5 characters, some of them being very successful actors including Jim Parsons who stars as Sheldon Cooper, my personal favorite character who has won many prizes. However, in this group of geeks there is one girl, Penny, and she is their neighbour and she has quite a different lifestyle.

So far, 5 seasons have been released on screen although the last season hasn’t finished yet. The last season is my favorite and it is also the viewers’ favorite, nor to mention the number of people who watch it has increased season by season.

Air Revolution. Efficiency for the future?

Air revolution. Efficiency for the future?

The issue of whether more windmills should be installed in the countryside has been widely debated in our community recently. Personally, I think there are some good points but also a few drawbacks about this.

On the one hand, windmills are an environmentally-friendly way of producing energy. Due to the fact that they do not produce any greenhouse gases, they do not pollute the atmosphere. Moreover, wind-power is a renewable resource. That is why future generations would be able to use it as it does not run out, whereas primary resources, such as coal and petrol are likely to be consumed.

On the other hand, some people in our city, San Sebastian, do not like them. This is because they think they spoil the view in the countryside which, in their opinion, is just perfect without any human activity. As for the efficiency of windmills, it is a disadvantage since they do not produce as much energy as burning fossil fuels due to the fact that they depend on the wind.  Even though all this is true, in my opinion, it is not powerful enough to deny the evidence that a sustainable way of producing energy is essential in our society. In other words, it is better to have a world with a little spoiled countryside than not having anything at all.

To sum up, there is no doubt in my mind that windmills should be spread worldwide as they will bring us efficiency for the future.

Review: Call of Duty - Modern Warfare 3

Modern Warfare 3 is the continuation of the Modern Warfare saga. This game leaves all the other videogames in the shade. Call Of Duty itself has been a total success in the gaming industry beating all the sales records. So far, there have been three ‘Modern Warfares’ but in every way, MW3 is the best of these three.

The game is divided into three modes, one of them being the ‘History’ where you have to get through a few levels about world war three to reach the end. Another mode is the special operation, where you play with a partner and you have to kill enemies. Last but not least there is the online mode, this made Modern Warfare shoot up to the top of the videogame rankings.

Personally, all of the ‘Modern Warfares’ games are my favorite by far and I have a blast playing the games.

Is Madrid's Lead Sufficient?

One month ago Madrid’s lead seemed unachievable for Barcelona, but in a few days this distance has shortened to the point of making the supporters feel really doubtful about who will finally win the battle. Are Guardiola’s players ambitious enough? Have they got the necessary determination?

More difficult situations have been overcome in this thrilling sport. How could we forget Liverpool’s electrifying comeback against Milan in the Champions League 2003 final? Or the unforgettable heroic win of Alcorcón versus Real Madrid in the Spanish King’s Cup? For all the aforementioned reasons, followers are starting to feel optimistic about winning the league. Yet Real Madrid has proved to be a solid team, which reacts well to controversial situations.

The players Barcelona has should be enough to make Madrid feel the pressure. Thus, a really exciting league is yet to come.
