CARNIVAL

The last 18^th of Febraury in Torelló took place “El Carnaval de Terra Endins”. It’s the most important carnival of Osona and a lot of people of different ages assisted at this carnival. The carnival began with an entourage where all the assistants follow the different carriages dancing and having fun. The entourage finishes in a place and  there the people met and after they go to “Carpes” a discotheque in the pavilion of the town.

This year with a group of friend we decided to wear an original costume, and we decided that we disguise like LMFAO, an American electro pop duo who wear strange and original clothes. They also have their own dance, the shufflin’. We wore a black T-shirt with the sentence of their most famous song: “Everyday I’m shufflin’”, a leopard pants and strange glasses and afro wigs. We also learn the dance.

It was a very funny and crazy night, we saw a lot of people and we dance a lot... Hahahaha

The movie is about Will Burton, a boy who is a bit special and is David Bowie’s number one fan. When Will change school he meet Charlotte and Sam. Will during the film falls in love with Sam. With Charlotte he formed a group called “I can’t go on, I’ll go on” and they want to participate in the Bandslam, a battle of rock bands.

The soundtrack of the film is very interesting. There are some famous songs produced by some famous groups and singers, like David Bowie and The Velvet Underground. The two songs that I love of the film are the both covers of famous songs: “ Someone to fall back on” and “Everything I own”.

COP DE ROCK

Cop de Rock is a musical that it’s interpreting now in Barcelona. It’s about the most famous songs of the Catalan rock. The plot is about a music group called Cop de Rock, formed by four components. Roc, the singer, falls in love with a girl, Lluna, and the history continues with this romance combining the plot with the rock songs.

I have seen it twice: the first time I saw it with my grandparents. The second time I went to see it with my bestfriend and it was the last play of the musical. It was very emotive play! The actors improvise in some parts and the public sang all the songs. At the end of the performance they cried and all the public were clapping their hands.

With my bestfriend we said that this musical is the musical it’s the musical of our lives!

LOL (Laughing Out Loud)

LOL is a 2008 French comedy movie directed by Lisa Azuelos. The film is about a girl called Lola, whose nickname is Lol. She is 16 and her life it’s the typical life of a teenager: the studies, her secret diary, her friends, her boyfriends, her family, her divorced parents, drugs and sexuality. The movie cast is Sophie Maceau, Christina Theret and Jerémy Kapone.

I have seen this films three times. The first time that I watched this movie was in 3 ESO in French class. Since that day I really like this movie, it’s funny and shows very well the life of the teenagers.

The last time that I saw this movie it was with the two Sara’s, Sara Moral & Sara Muñoz, at Moral’s house. They haven’t seen the movie before and the said that it was a fantastic movie but the best thing was the main actor because he is very handsome... LOL

  

COOKING TIME!

When I was a child I used to like to help to my grandfather cooking. We always prepared our own pizzas... Mmmm, delicious! At school we sometimes cook some food too, like cookies, bread... In English class I used to say “chicken” instead of “kitchen”, and all my classmates laughed and also the teacher, who was my mother.

When I grow up my interest for cooking grow too. I assisted to a course called “Cuinar sense pares” and it was a very good experience and now I can prepare my own meals. But the foods that I really like to cook are desserts! I love that! I cook crepes, bonbons, sponge cakes, cakes, cupcakes, muffins... Although, the best dessert that I prepare are coulants! They’re delicious! There are chocolate brownies with the form of a cupcake and with melted chocolate inside. I usually accompany that with an excellent English cream, and this combination is irresistible!

 

TONIS MANLLEU

Every January in Manlleu and in other places took place the “Festa dels Tonis”. This celebration is about St. Antoni, the protector of the farmers and the animals.

The main celebration is “el Passant dels Tres Tombs”. The participants ride horses or go with carts through the main streets of the town. The principal participants are the flagman and the two people who go together with, holding the cords. The Passant lasts all the morning and finishes in the Plaça Fra. Bernadí. Then, the “Ball del Ciri” begins. This dance is a typical dance whose couples dance in the middle of the square. The women dance with a bunch of buxus with a white candle and the men wear a hat. At first dance the children and then the flagman and the cordmen.

This party is very important for me and my family because we always have participated in all the acts and my grandfather had been the president of the “Gremi” for some years.

"Habitants de la vil·la de Manlleu, qui de burro en amunt no celebri la festa de St. Antoni pagarà un bot de vi d'alella!"
