Carey Lander, a portrait of peace

  This photo means so much to me. You can see a beautiful, smart and talented woman. Her name is Carey Lander and she was part of the indie and twee pop band Camera Obscura, specifically she played the synthesizer and she was the principal chorus girl. I write in past because she died on October 11, 2015; four years after her cancer diagnosis.
  After she found out about her illness, she entered to an organization (Sarcoma UK) that collects money to help people with osteosarcoma, an aggressive malignant neoplasm in a bone (a type of primary bone cancer). Lander created a page for Sarcoma UK in order to raise awareness of the disease and lack of funding for research and treatment. Until now (October 30, 2017), the campaign has collected £102,99. In consequence, she was a responsible and sensible woman; all that you can see in the picture.
  Like a curiosity, if you look every photo of Carey, you could find an effective source of serenity, love and happiness. In the case of you don’t believe me; her band mates, her family and her fans would tell you with any doubt that it works.

Carey Lander said: It's probably too late to help me, but it would be great if we could find something in the future that means children don't have to undergo such awful treatment and have a better chance of survival.

Headphones in my life

My favorite piece of technology are the headphones, because is the means to listening to my music and to live the experience to stay closer to my dear bands. I used every day my headphones, and when that didn’t happen, probably it will not be a good day.    Now, I am going to talk about one of those bad days:  when I forgot my headphones in some classroom. When I realized of it, I felt terrible because I didn´t know what had happened with them. Later, I thought about the places where I could find my valued headphones… but nothing! Fortunately, I remembered that I was in the Aularios during the morning and like a datum: I always keep my belongings under the tables. With that feeling, I went to talk with the Aularios’ assistants and they allowed me to come into the classroom. Despite my pessimism, I amazingly found my headphones safe and sound. Since of that trouble, I look after my headphones like a saint bone.

Intimate anwers

What is your opinion on the social networks and the effect they have on society?  I think that the social networks have a colossal influence in the society because the people generally talk about what they see on their screens. The social networks are able to create new perspectives in the individuals, which mosly of times is dangerous; especially now with the scandal of the Facebook.  What is your opinion on animal testing?  I am completely against of the animal testing. All the animal testing practices come from the "speciesist" principles that have been inherited of the Cartesian era, where the animals were judged like things; i mean, without soul and feelings. Today, I would like to make something clear: the animals are like one of them.   Actually, i value the "fighting animal testing" initiatives of some comestics brands, and i hope that all the ways of mistratment (even the hidden forms like this).   What is your opinion on ...

Sunny food

  Hello, today I’m going to talk about my favorite food of all the times. In first place, I have to say that I’m not so good at making decisions. So, I’m going to pick three of the mouth-watering foods that exist to me: porotos granados, humitas y pastel de choclo. In my grandma’ house there is a vegetable garden where she grows beans, corn, basil, pumpkins, etc.   All these products are the basic substrates to make the marvelous home-cooked food. In this sense, I have to recognize that I eat my fist favorite food (porotos Granados) every weekend in summer. Also, in that season I enjoy the humitas frequently in despite of the difficulty of cooking this (and many flies fly around them).    When I changed my diet to the vegetarian one, I was afraid because that decision would generate that, for example, I couldn’t eat my third favorite food. But my grandma showed up like a super heroin and made a Pastel de choclo with a base of soy.   Unbelievably, the...
