HALLOWEEN

During years, I celebrated Halloween at school. We used to paint pumpkins or draw them, then brought them home and put them on our doors. We also played the typical " Treat or trick" and just in some cases we wore a witch costume or a gohst costume. And when I was I child I saw films where the children went house by house asking for sweets and I just wanted to celebrate Halloween in that way, in the way Americans used to celebrate it.

Nowadays people has commercialized this tradition and, from my point of view, they do this just for money.

Now you can find Halloween things at the supermarket, such as sweet boxes or pies with pumpkin shapes; there are also some advertisements on TV that announce this kind of products or fancy dresses.

People in Spain has adapted this tradition, but what I always wonder which is the real meaning of this celebration. It is called, at least in Spain, "Witches' night"... And the day after it is "All saints day", and everybody goes to the cementry to bring flowers to their relatives....

I just cannot understand it.

"Today I don't feel like doing anything..."

 

Like Bruno Mars' song, today is one of the days when you get up and, although it's holidays, you don't feel like doing anything. 

Yesterday I thought " tomorrow I'll take profit and I will do a lot of things: I'll study, I'll read American Literature...". But when I woke up this morning I just felt like the song.

Who hasn't ever felt like that? And I was lucky that today were no lessons! Because if there had been lessons today, I would have been complaining aaall the day.

That's all for today guys... I don't feel like doing anything else.

... ME

Well, first of all I want to say that I've never written a blog and I don't know how it really works.

Now that I've said it, let me start.

My name is Alba. For those who don't know Spanish, it means "dawn" in English. I'm eighteen and I live in Carlet, a nice town near Valencia. However, I share a flat with three friends in Valencia.

I've always liked languages and that's the reason why I am studying an English Degree at University.

At weekends, I usually meet my friends and we like going to other towns as in my town there are no pubs or somewhere to go with friends.

I don't have any hobbies, but in my free time I like doing some kind of sport or just listening to music. I love travelling and I would like to visit Italy next summer.
