Why this name for the blog?



The reason is this song. In minute 1:14 say this optimistic sentence "The drama will not last forever".

That remids me to confront the life with a smile in my face and to leave the wrong behaviors behind.

Berlin wall (Berliner Mauer)


This little article talks about Berlin and its wall that fell down in 1989.
The story of this spectacular wall construction starts in 1961, its construction was planned by the Socialist Unity Party in order to separate two parts of Berlin (The Eastside and Westside).

The wall separated East Germany from West Germany for more than a quarter-century. During this period, 98 people died trying to cross the wall into West Berlin and 200 people to East to West Berlin.

In 1990 it was formally concluded the fall of the Berlin Wall. That mend the reunification of to Germanys.

Mobile phones



Today’s task is to answer the questions about mobile phones.

The first questions ask how mobile phones have changed in the last 30 years. Maybe the answer of this question is that mobile phones have taken over our current society since late 1940s.

When the mobile phone was created with analogical technology, which was much less reliable than the digital technology we use today, had a great deal more static and noise interference than we are accustomed to today.
Another disadvantage was the large size of the mobile phones.

The second questions talks about the different uses of mobile phone by young people. Nowadays teenagers use mobile phones to send SMS and MMS (Multimedia message), SMS to send e-mails (in Japan, Korea, China and India). But they use the mobile for other things like listening to music, playing games, downloading things…

The last question that we have to find the information in the links is about the uses of the mobile in different cultures. For example, in china is a costume to send more SMS than in Spain. Spanish people use more the mobile to phone.

And the main question: Do the mobile phones affect your privacy?Yes, there’re some moments in the day that are interrupted by mobile phones. When you’re walking down the street very peacefully and you hear one person talking on the phone, you’re disturbed by it. This is one thing, but there’re more things that affects our privacy. When you’re in a party and your phone rings, you have to answer it and the people that are with you are listening what are you saying, and the people get angry.

Ludacris feat. Mary J. Blige - Runaway Love



I love this song, when I listened to it, my heart started beating so hard, it's a song very emotional. It is about hard life, the bad life of 3 teenangers with problems.

The first one, Lisa, is a nine-year-old girl. She has never met her real father. Lisa's mother is addicted to drugs. She brings home men at different hours of the night, and they always end up in a fight. Then, the men come in Lisa's room an try to have their way. When she tries to resist, they just beat her, and when she tells her mom, she doesn't believe her. So she run's away.

The second one, Nicole, a lonely ten-year-old girl. Nicole believes she is not beautiful and thinks nobody likes her, and wonders why this is so. Her stepfather is an alcoholic and physically abuses her. Nicole's schoolteachers constantly ask her why she has bruises (which are by her stepfather), and she lies to them. Nicole promises her best (and only) friend, Stacy, that they'll be close forever. However, one day, Stacy dies in a drive-by shooting and feeling alone again, Nicole decides to run away.

And the last one, Erica, an eleven-year-old girl who is using ecstasy. She is also, with guilt, having sex with her sixteen-year-old boyfriend. As things go deeper, Erica starts to believe she is truly in love with her boyfriend, and so her boyfriend uses no protection. After Erica becomes pregnant, her boyfriend 'bails out' on her, because he feels he is not ready to have a child. In addition, her family is poor, so Erica has no money for an abortion. Erica knows that if she tells her mom she is pregnant, her mom will be very angry and disappointed with her. In the video, it is shown that as Erica looks through a window, she imagines her mom beating her. She is seen crying on a park bench while Mary J. Blige sings next to her. Erica feels like there is no other place to call home.

I hope that you like it.
