I'm OK

Once upon a time there was a girl
In her early years she had to learn
How to grow up living in a war that she called home
Never know just where to turn for shelter from the storm
Hurt me to see the pain across my mother's face
Everytime my father's fist would put her in her place
Hearing all the yelling I would cry up in my room
Hoping it would be over soon

Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday
And I'm OK

I often wonder why I carry all this guilt
When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built
Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door
The echo of a broken child screaming "please no more"
Daddy, don't you understand the damage you have done
To you it's just a memory, but for me it still lives on

Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so, so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday

It's not so easy to forget
All the lines you left along her neck
When I was thrown against cold stairs
And every day I'm afraid to come home
In fear of what I might see there

Bruises fade father but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday
And I'm OK
I'm O

Study links chocolate and depression

One need only look at the recent introduction of chocolate Cheerios to fully grasp Americans' fondness for the pulp from cacao beans. Savoring chocolate is normal.

But, researchers said Monday, overindulging in it could be a marker for depression.

Researchers at UC San Diego and UC Davis examined chocolate consumption and other dietary intake patterns among 931 men and women who were not using antidepressants. The participants were also given a depression screening test. Those who screened positive for possible depression consumed an average of 8.4 servings of chocolate — defined as one ounce of chocolate candy — per month. That compared with 5.4 servings per month among people who were not depressed.

Those who scored highest on the mood tests, indicating possible major depression, consumed an average of 11.8 servings per month. The findings were similar among women and men.

When the researchers controlled for other dietary factors that could be linked to mood — such as caffeine, fat and carbohydrate intake — they found only chocolate consumption correlated with mood.

It's not clear how the two are linked, the authors wrote. It could be that depression stimulates chocolate cravings as a form of self-treatment. Chocolate prompts the release of certain chemicals in the brain, such as dopamine, that produce feelings of pleasure.

SUMMARY 

Everybody likes chocolate, but overindulging in it, could make you depressed.  Researchers investigated with people, and the ones who had depression consumed an average of 8.4 servings of chocolate. They also tried to find more meals linked with the mood but they found nothing. Chocolate prompt the release of chemicals –such as dopamine-  in the brain which produces feelings of pleasure.

Port Aventura

It was an incredible day . We got up round 7.00 o’clock in the morning. It’s clear if it’s a school day I always get up around 7, but it was a Saturday and for this day, it was really early.

We took the car and drove for two hours until we arrived to Port Aventura. First of all, we had breakfast. I don’t know why, older people are always hungry, so we went to have breakfast in a snack bar.

The breakfast lasted around one hour, and we (Jose, Jose’s brother, Cristina, Alex, my sister and I) were excited because we love roller coasters. When, finally our parent’s stop eating, we went to furios Baco. (it’s de strongest roller coaster).

It was Halloween party in Port Aventura and we enjoyed most the fear roller coasters. Jose was always laughing at me because I was scared .

It was a really good day and we arrived home at 1 o’clock in the night. We were so tired so we went to bed and Sunday morning we got up around 12.

¡MAMMA MÍA!

Mamma mía, is a film and it was also the topic of our carnival costumes last year. All my friends and I decided to prepare a costume about mamma mía because it was the year when the film became famous and the musical too. We were around 18 people (boys and girls) and it was fantastic! All the costumes were different and of four colors (pink, green, blue and red) my color was pink and there were more or less 3 people in each group. Boys were black.

But, the most amazing thing was our heels; it measured around 13 or 14 centimeters and we were taller than everybody!

We danced four songs, (Waterloo, mamma mía, no stress, and another one). We went to calella, Vidreres (gateway) and vidreres village, maçanet, lloret, palafrugell, arbucies,and more place which I can’t remember.

Everybody said, the costume was really beautiful and colorful. This year we are going to dress up with a costume called “fantasia cubana” with feathers and flowers. For me, this one is more beautiful than mamma mía one! Let’s see what is going to happen with this year costume...

It was impossible to escape

Were they. Yes, were they. They've been looking for me and I've been hiding from them.

I know what I did was not really good but... who wouldn't set free his father off the prison? who? nobody.

I did it because I know my father was innocent. Yes, I was sure. My father would never have killed the president's son, but I don't know why they were looking for us and they could'nt find us.

We got out the prison through the back door and we ran until our legs said stop. There were only rocks and few trees. We decided to hide ourselves behind one oh this strange rockes until the night fall.

Arround seven o'clock we arrived home and we went to the bed.

My mother prepared us a bag full of clothes and meals because we would leave this country until the police stop looking for us.

When we woke up, we took the car and drived away. We arrived at the airport and for our surprise police were there waiting for us.

They put both in the prison.

We defended ourselves hitting the door, the walls, the ceiling. We tried to jump the fince twice, but nothing helped us. This time, it was impossible to escape
