Internet-driven revolution in North Africa

During these days North Africa is suffering revolutions in a lot of their countries which will allow it to obtain freedom for their citizens. The population say that they are happy because they are achieving freedom without the United States help. It’s said that the revolutions are organized in social networks on the Internet. The wonder is, What is the limit of Internet?

Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo ¿Who is the best?

 A lot of paragraphs in newspapers speak about their goals, their plays, their private life and their couples. They are on everyone's lips and all the brands want to make their advertisements with one of them. All the world wonders, who is the best? If we consider the statements written before, What does it matter?

By the time I'm retired

I would like to speak about my retirement. By the time I'm retired I think that I will be very old. Today, the retirement age in Spain is 65 years old but this days the government is negotiating with unions for postpone the retirement age two years.

Because of that, at this moment I suppose that by the age of 67 I will be retired. I ‘m very active and the first days that I’ll be without work I think that I will feel very bad. To spend my free time and If I’m healthy, I would like to enjoy the nature, my pets and my family. While I’m working I can’t dedicate the time that I would like to them and the retirement period is a good moment to focuses on them.

When I am retired, perhaps the weather is different that today because of the climate change which is advancing quickly and affects to the world’s changes. My dream is to can enjoy my last years of my life in Galician with the climate and weather that we have today surrounded by my dear family.

I like technology a lot. By the time I’m retired I hope to enjoy the ultimate generation of electronics devices as computers and digital TV. I’m sure that they will be more different than today!

Description of the Ideal Job



If I think about a ideal job, I see a job according with a lot of characteristics that I consider very important in a good job. Some of these attributes gain importance in any type of personal situations and others are essential in all the cases.
For example, from my point of view, in all jobs the most important issues are the working conditions, the salary and the type of work that you have to do. Other element that I consider very important is the work environment because If you have a good job in terms of salary and work conditions but the work environment is bad, you are not happy at work and the other basic terms take second place. The essential condition that your job must satisfy is your happiness!!
If you are married or you have children, the free time and the flexible schedule are most important than a good salary because you need spend more time with your family. On the other hand, when you are young you rate more the money than a good schedule, free time or duties because you don't mind about work more hours.

Finally, the characteristics that a good job must satisfy depend of your personal situation and your aspirations.

Popular festivals

Hello!

In this post, I would like speak about the popular festivals in Galician.

In Galician, popular festivals are seeing as one of the moments in the year when the families meet. In this festivals people eat, dance and drink a lot.

This festivals are more important as smaller the village is and the importance can be viewed in terms of the price of the orchestras that participates in the event. For example, the most popular and expensive groups are Paris de Noia, Olympus or Panorama.

The principal festive day of the year (usually the 15th of August), the orchestras are in high demand and their prizes are higher than other dates. For this festivals, the villages are scrambling each other to hire their services.

A very typical element in popular festivals is the action of a bagpiper. The Galician pipes are very popular in Galician and they usually are presents in our festivals. The old people likes a lot because the sound of a Galician pipe helps them to remember the past years.

The past paragraphs summarize the characteristics of Galician festivals.

I hope you like it.

God and the man

A man visits God and says "God, do you mind if I ask you a  few questions?"
God says "No, ask me anything at all."

So the man says "God, you've been around for a very long time, so, for you, how long is a thousand years?"
God replies "For me, a thousand years is only five minutes."

The man then says "That's interesting God. And, for you, how much is a million dollars?"
God replies "For me, a million dollars is only five cents."

The man says "Really? Well then God, could you lend me five cents please?"
God looks at the man, smiles, and says "Of course my son. Just wait five minutes!"
