My world 6

QUARANTINE IN CUBA...

We have been in quarantine for many days, practically a month and a half, but thanks to that time, I have been able to learn a few great things.

I have been getting closer to my parents, they have told me many stories that I did not know about, we also seen a lot of photos and remembered very happy moments!

The truth is that tis lockdown has a good part, and that is that I have never spoken so much with my family in cuba as now...

The situation there is not very good, before COVID-19 had arrived, the issue of food was complicated, nowadays there is even less quantity and it is even difficult to get rice, there is also the fact that few people have cars and to do whatever they have to, they have to do huge queues.

By this I mean that not all countries can use the same method and that quarantine can be very difficult to comply in underdeveloped countries.

My world 5

                                         The quarantine             

I think this is something that is happening in everyone's life, that's why I wanted to write my experience.
Personally I have never been an outgoing person. I like to be at home, relax and do what I like with background music.
So I think quarantine is not affecting me much, and I would not worry a bit if I didn't know why we are locked in home.
It's so fun for me to see how people make memes about quarantine and coronavirus, they reach such point that there are already songs / parodies about it.
People are crazy to find entertainment; so social networks are more used than ever, and the button for calls and video calls must be breaking from so much use.
Finally I recommend to follow the rules, and as much as you want ... do not go out.

My world 4

                                                               

                            Draw nonstop!                              

One of the things I enjoy doing the most in my free time is drawing, it relaxes and entertains me a lot, especially if I do it while listening to music!
I started to get interested in drawing when I was 11 years old, which was at the age when I started reading manga and watching anime, I was very interested in the talent of people for drawing, so I wanted to try doing it the same ... I was disappointed A little when I saw that I couldn't do it or anything like that, but I kept practicing.
Currently I still have a lot to improve, but compared to my beginnings I am much better!
I am also starting to test the drawing on tablet, by an application called "procreate". But I'm still figuring out how to use it right.

My world 3

                                            The trips                            

One of the things I like to do the most is to travel. 
But I don't like to do it just to see the world or get out of my comfort zone... I like to travel to learn a little about different cultures, that's why, before going to a country, I always pay attention to whether I like culture, and I find out a little about how I deal with people in the country.
All countries have different customs and unique charms.
Traveling with no doubts makes you a much more open-minded person and gives you different ideas!
Finally, I would like to recommend a very interesting YouTube channel about travel, it explains many curious things about countries and it is a good way to know if you would like to travel there!

The name of the youtuber is: Drew Binsky

Is my dream possible?

                            

                    Is my dream possible?

As I said my dream is to write a book.
For me, it's totally possible, it just depends on me and my desire to finish it.
It also depends on my creativity an new ideas to improve my story and the way I write. 
The principal problems I would have would be my time, I want to study so many things and I had to learn how to divide my time to study and also go out with my friends and finish the book. 
Being realist, I probably write parts of the book in the vacations.
For last, I already write short stories that have like just 16 chapters. But i would like more if the stories could be longer and become books.

The imperialist wishes of the thirties had passed through Asia. Many Americans did not want to conflict in a distant land. But that opinion began to change as Japan's army went to Shanghai in 1937. The fight began there in August and the bombings caused panic and death in the streets.

The rest of the world did not notice the many victims until they saw what left an attack on August 28 by Japanese bombers.

H.S. Wong, photographer of Hearst Metrotone News, nicknamed Newsreel, arrived at the southern station and, according to him, was horrified that "my boots were full of blood."

In that place, Wong saw a Chinese baby crying, his mother was dead on the slopes near there. He said he quickly filmed the last part of his movie and then ran to take the baby to a safe place, but not before the boy's father ran and took him. Wong's image of the hurt and poor boy was sent to New York and appeared in Hearst's news, newspapers and life magazines. Seen by more than 136 million people, he played a personal chord that transcended ethnicity and geography. For so many people, the baby's pain represented the bad situation in China and the bloodlust of Japan.

The photo called Bloody Saturday became one of the most powerful news images of all time. It reveals the power of an image to influence public and official opinion. Wong's image led the United States, Britain and France to formally protest the attack and helped change Western sentiment in favor of entering what would become World War II.

The second Chinese-Japanese war, passed between 1937 and 1945, near World War II. It began when the Japanese army began the invasion of northern and eastern China. The invasion ended  (after the US army joined China) with the surrender of Japan in 1945.

And the last city is going to be Tokyo, the biggest one!

Ted Talk- serial killers.

       

                  Exploring the mind of a killer

First he makes an introduction where he explains that he is a neurosurgeon, a professor at a university, and that he began studying killer's brains because a friend asked him to do it as a favor.
He explain that a murderer begins to "create" depending on what is going on around him, family, friends ... for traumas.
A serial killer has brain damage.
they may also have another kind of brain damage, or attacks of important violent genes.
There is a chromosome called "X" that for men only opts for the mother, this gene is the one that affects the mind and can make them psychopathic killers, in women it is less common due to the fact that they receive it from both , father and mother, so there is less chance.
The "X" gene is only activated violently if it has gone through something very traumatic during puberty, and not through stress but                                                                                                            living abuse and violence.

From here he begins to explain a story about his family, it turns out that one of the family's ancestors was murderous, thus explaining that in any family it could happen without even the existence of old cases.

    My Opinion:    

From my point of view, it is very interesting to talk about this issue, and to make known that the issue of murderers is not so far from our day to day, any of our ancestors could have had the "X" gene, but we could I don't know

It is also very interesting as he explains that depending on the parts that the human brain uses the most, the way of thinking changes.

My world 2

          

            Anime & Cartoon... are not the same

Something that I love doing in my spare time is watching series, I watch series from many countries: American, Turkish, Korean, from all Latin America ..
But my favorite type of series is Anime; from Japan.
I know it is not with real characters and for many people it is like Cartoon but in Japan, but, although it is the same idea, the styles are very different.
For example, the caartoon comes from the comic, but the anime comes from the manga, in addition to the fact that the type of drawing is very different:

And finally, the anime is focused on adult or teenage public in its majority, instead the Cartoon is mainly focused on all audiences or children, (clearly there are exceptions in both styles).

My world

     

              I don't like tragedy but ... 

One of my biggest hobbies is reading, usually romantic or comedy, but the last book I read was very different from the others.It was about a girl who fell in love with a man, she thought it was the man of her life, but soon discovered that not.
One day she descaovered that this man was a murderer, or rather a psychopath, and when she tried to leave him, he kidnapped and tortured her for days in his basement. At the end of the book the police discover where she was and try to going to save her, but , when they arrive, he was dead on the ground and she had no strength. 
I usually hate books like this, I don't like drama and much less tragedy, but this one completely captured me, the character of the girl seemed very strong because she never gave up in front of him. She died after she ended his life. The life of the man that make her suffer for pain for almost a year.

My favourite relative

         

                         - My favourite relative -

 My favourite relative is my cousin, Gabriela.

I miss her so much, she lives in Cuba, where almost all of my family is.

I think she is a beautiful person in all the ways and she is a very inspairing person in my life.

Ijust saw her in person one in two years ago, I spend 15 days in total with her, but our relationship never changes.

Of curse, we try to talk through whatsapp or call each other but it is so expensive.

I like everything about her, there are only one or two things that make me a little bit angry when I am with her, but they are not important.

One of my favourites memories with her was when I was 14 years old, not a long time ago.

My parents and I went to cuba to visit our family and my cousin said to me that, for my 15 birthday, she wanted to make an album of photos like she did, but the difference would be that she was the one who took all the photos of my album. She loves taking photos.

Then, when we were in Spain, my mother gave me the album. I hate the fact that she can not see the final resolt.

I just think she is the best, and I would like to bring her to Spain someday. It is one of my biggest dreams.

The city of Wuhan is the center of the Coronavirus. This is a very dengerous virus and it cause pneumonia, is easy to be passed person to person. Other sympthoms are: fever, fatigue, dificulty with breathing and the virus can be fatal in some cases.

There have been reported cases in: China, Japan, Thailand and South korea. For now many airports of the world started screening passengers. 

- In my opinion this is a very dengerous virus and all the people are scered abaut it, but there was a time in 2002-2003 that the Coronavirus apears, it is not a new virus. The only diference is that the actual virus is more dengerous and the pneumonia can kill people very slow.

Word: Screening.

The digital streaming is more and more popular in America. The last year people spend 16.3 billon more on digital services than the pevious year.

My favorite horror movie

        
              - My Favorite Horror Movie -

The title of the movie is IT 2, this is the only horror movie that I've seen in my entire life, and I went to see it at the cinema, it was horrible!
The main characters are a group of six friends; Richie, Bill, Beverly, Stanley, Ben and Eddie. And the character that names the movie IT, but his real name is Pennywise.
The story is about this group of friends trying to kill IT, there is another part were the people of the group were just children, and they survive to IT. This is the second part, and the last I think, and it begin with one of the friends calling the others and warning them that Pennywise returned.
One of the best parts is when IT talks to it, that's because Pennywise has powers and enters their minds and makes them see what he wants.
Another of my favorite parts is when they get into the IT house and try to kill him. That is the final scene.
I didn't understand the movie much because I hadn't seen the first part, but it's fine for me because it was only for a friend's birthday.

They solution eas to strive and make story with their songs.
Now they colaborate with Unisef in a campaing called "love yourself" as their albums and is linked to the campaing "end violence" from unisef too.
