HANDBALL EMPORDÀ

This weekend we have the last match of league of Handball. Nowadays, my team is in the second position, but we have the same points as the first classified. The problem is that the team that goes first, Handball Palautordera, has fewer goals in against that we, but we have more goals to favor.
We play against eighth classified, which is the Handball Suria, whereas the Handball Palautordera plays this weekend against the fourth classified, which name is La Salle Montcada.
In case we win the match and Palautordera loses or tie, we win the League.
This Saturday we are going to give everything to obtain the first title of the year , since the work that we have realized along the season has been very good  and the results every time have gone to better.
All that thanks to our trainer Jose Juan Estevez, who does the maximum effort for us and thanks to him, we improve every day.

'What horror!' - Real Madrid slammed by Spanish media after loss to Schalke

SUMMARY

This Tuesday, Real Madrid F.C lost in the Santiago Bernabeu 3-4 against the FC.Schalke. But even so, Real Madrid gets through to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
Note that the Real Madrid fans are very angry for the image that the team is offering this 2015.
This team is happening for a very hard moment, there are a lot of injured players and a lot of others that are having an evil moment in they soccer career.

OPINION

Real Madrid is and always will be my favorite team. Last year this team won four titles and this year the things are not going out completely well. But nothing happens, we have the best coach in the world and also the best players.The year has just begun, there are still many matches to play and to show that this team is the best world.

50 SHADES OF GREY

The other day, I decided to watch the movie 50 Shades of Gray. I like that movie.
The movie treats about a young woman called Anastasia Steele, who replaces one day her friend in the work, and she has to do an interview to the famous millionaire Christian Grey. The interview was not quite right and Anastasia did not want to return to see him.But one day, Christian Grey appeared in the supermarket where she works and  from this moment they were spending a lot of time together,until Anastasia is realizing that Christian Grey is sadistic.
In conclusion, a good movie to spend a good time,but still, the end is not completely awaited.

TALK WITH NOA

What  Noa has done it is very nice. I think that it is a good idea to go away to another country for such of disconnecting a litlle bit of the people of here. In addition, she is improving her English and this will be helpful in the future. Also because she has found work.
Still, the girl misses her family and friends. And this one is the only problem that exists at the moment of doing a Gap Year.
In conclusion, I liked talking on skype with her and I hope that everything is going well and she comes back soon.

SUMMARY

This news treats about more than one hundred of vehicles, which remained caught during the night in the roads between Cantabria and the province of Palencia due to the snow. About 100 expatriates and British tourists were among those trapped.
All of them came with the idea of spending a few warm days in Spain, but it was not as expected, because Spain is in the middle of a cold spell.

OPINION

It is true that these days are very cold.The wind is very cold and you do not even want to go out to the street. 
Even this way, many things can be done in house, it is a good moment to see movies or to read any book. 
But I hope that the cold is ended soon, to be able to go out to the street and enjoy the good time.

SUMMARY

This news is about Ukraine and its president, Petro Poroshenko, who has promised to calm the fight against pro-Russia rebels in east Ukraine, because 30 people have died in just one day.

MY HOLIDAYS

This Christmas I've done a few things. On December 24, I have gone to a discotheque with my friends to celebrate the Christmas, but before going, I had an accident by car, nothing serious thankfully.

During this holiday I had trained handball  and also went to the gym.
And when came 31 of December I went to celebrate the end of year to a discotheque in Girona.
There I had a great time, although the club was not entirely pleasant; toilets were dirty, people smoked indoors, a disorder.
And when new year started, I didn't do anything interesting. I did my homework and occasionally I was watching some movies.
