JAMES AND MY MUM

My cousin James and my mum are two very important people for me. Whenever we can, we have lunch together, to talk about our things.

In this photo we were eating at Duran hotel in  Figueres and I took the picture.

James is 28 years, he is an architect and works in Roses. When I need help I can rely on him, and so far has never failed me.
He has a  good relationship with my mum and we have confidence in each other.
Sometimes James comes round home to explain his problems to her.
Sometimes I get annoyed with him because he likes to wind me up, but he is an important person to me.

SHARING WITH MY MOTHER

My mum and I when I was younger, playing to see who could eat a slice of watermelon we had in our mouths.
We liked to play and do silly things

It is a charming and funny photo!!!

DANCING TRADITIONS

Here we see the horses and giants dancing a typical dance in my grandfather's town, Sant Feliu de Pallerols. 

It is a traditional dance where cardboard horses  guided by children or boys from the village and the giants dance different dances in the square and make a parade through the streets of the village  with the "mulassa", a fantastic beast.

Sant feliu de Pallerols is a village located in la Garrotxa and the horses, giants and "mulassa" are recognised cultural heritage.

A PRIZE-WINNING PHOTO

MIRACLE VILLAGE
Sofia Valiente

DESCRIPTION:

12 January 2014

Pahokee, Florida, USA
Richard plays basketball at Miracle Village.
Miracle Village, on the southeast corner of Lake Okeechobee in South Florida, in the midst of sugarcane fields and five miles from the nearest town, houses a community of 100 sex offenders. It was set up by an evangelical pastor, Dick Witherow, as a sanctuary for people he terms ‘modern-day lepers’—subject to lifelong restrictions on their movements, which often leave them few options of where to live. Residents of Miracle Village include people sentenced for offences such as the possession of child pornography, and a man who at the age of 18 had sex with his 16-year-old girlfriend. Many are tagged with ankle monitors, must obey a nighttime curfew, and cannot own a laptop or mobile phone.

Va ser fundada per un pastor evangèlic, Dick Witherow, com a santuari per persones que ell anomena " leprosos moderns"- subjectes a restriccions de per vida, que sovint els deixen poques opcions on viure. Els residents de Miracle Village inclouen persones condemnades per delictes com possessió de pornografia infantil, i un home que quan tenia 18 anys va fer sexe amb la seva novia de 16 anys. Molts identificats amb una polsera al turmell, han d'obeir un toc de queda nocturn, i no poden tenir ni portàtil ni movil.

ALL OF ME - JOHN LEGEND

LYRICS:                                                                                             TRANSLATION: 

What would I do without your smart mouth                                   ¿Que faria jo sense la teva boca inteligent?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out                                         Que m'excita, i hem dona patades a la vegada
Got my head spinning, no kidding,                                                 Tinc el meu cap donant voltes, no es broma
 I can’t pin you down                                                                          No hem puc aturar            
What’s going on in that beautiful mind                                          Que t'esta passant per aquesta ment maravellosa?
I’m on your magical mystery ride                                                     Estic en un viatge magic i mistic
And I’m so dizzy, don’t know what hit me,                                    I estic tant marejada que no se que hem va ferir
but I’ll be alright                                                                                   pero estare be 

My head’s under water                                                                        El meu cap esta sota l'aigua
But I’m breathing fine                                                                         Pero puc respirar bé
You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind                                              Estas boja i jo tambe hu estic 

‘Cause all of me                                                                                   Perque tot el que soc
Loves all of you                                                                                  Es tot el que a tu t'agrada
Love your curves and all your edges                                              M'agraden les teves curves i totes les teves arestes
All your perfect imperfections                                                          Totes les teves perfectes inperfeccions
Give your all to me                                                                              Donem tot de tu
I’ll give my all to you                                                                         Jo et donare tot de mi per tu
You’re my end and my beginning                                                   Tu ets el meu principi i el meu fi.
Even when I lose I’m winning                                                           Inclus quan perdo estic guanyant
‘Cause I give you all, all of me                                                          Perque jo et dono tot de mi
And you give me all, all of you                                                          I tu, hem dones tot de tu

How many times do I have to tell you                                             Quantes vegades t'he de dir
Even when you’re crying you’re beautiful too                              Que quan plores ets hermosa
The world is beating you down,                                                        El mon esta caient els teus peus
I’m around through every mood                                                        Estic passant per cada estat d'anim
You’re my downfall, you’re my muse                                               Tu ets la meva perdicio, tu ets la meva musa
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues                                     La meva pitjor distracio, el meu ritme i el meu blues
I can’t stop singing, it’s ringing, in my head for you                      No puc parar de cantar. Hi ha sonsb teus en el meu cap

My head’s under water                                                                         El meu cap es a sota l'aigua
But I’m breathing fine                                                                          Pero puc respirar be
You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind                                               Estas boja i estic fora de la meva ment

‘Cause all of me                                                                                    Perque tot el que soc
Loves all of you                                                                                   Es tot el que t'encanta
Love your curves and all your edges                                               M'agraden les teves curves i totes les teves arestes
All your perfect imperfections                                                          Totes les teves perfectes imperfecions
