MY WORLD: Everyday is a playlist

How is your mood today? Are you happy? Or maybe sad?

For me, there is a song for each situation, for each feeling that I have. I love to fill my days with music, with songs that make me happy, or that just adjust to what I think in the moment.

Music is something that makes me evade from everything: problems, daily routine... Everything. The only way I can make my mind go blank is listening to music. If you don't believe me you can try it. You just have to stare at something while you listen to music. See? It's easy!

Also, when I write something (because, as I said in 10 things that I like, I love to write and I want to be a writer), I usually listen to music, because it makes things seem more... glorious? Important? Deep? I don't know but it really inspires me. I usually listen to movie soundtracks when I write.

I usually like every type of music. It depends on the song, though. I want to believe that my playlists are variated, but I guess they're more pop, pop-rock and indie/alternative. Well, that's in general. I like Ed Sheeran, Lana del Rey, Vampire Weekend, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Passenger, One Direction, The xx, Imagine Dragons, Macklemore, Jason Walker, Marina and the Diamonds, The Neighbourhood... and many, many more!

I don't think there can be someone in the world that doesn't enjoy listening to music. I can't imagine a world without music, a world in silence, so quiet...  I could not stand at being deaf.

Well, here you have some songs!

MY WORLD: 10 things that I like

Today I'm going to talk about 10 things that I like. I don't think I can order them by their importance, but here's the list:

1. Rainy days. I really like rainy days, I like to spend them at home, warm in a blanket, listening to the raindrops against the window. I like the smell when it stops raining. Rainy days are peaceful days, and it seems to me that the rain washes away all the problems, making me get relaxed.

2. Tumblr. Tumblring all day is one of my hobbies. I started a while ago in this social website, where you can find photos, texts, gifs... You can also talk to other people, and they're usually nice! You can follow blogs, but also you have followers :)
You can visit my Tumblr here: unreaches.tumblr.com

3. Listening to music. Music is one of the few things that can relax me. I think I don't have a favourite type of music, I listen to every kind of songs. I usually spend all the afternoon listening to music with my headphones!

source

4. Writing. I love writing stories and I use to write down almost everything that goes through my mind. I love to collect quotes, too. Writing is something that makes me evade from the rest of the world. Althought I usually keep everything that I write for myself, I would like to become a writer someday.

source

5. Reading. Of course I like to read. Now, with school, I don't have much time to read books, but I would like to read more. I'm trying to read a book in English called The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green. Maybe if I finish it I'll make a post telling you about it.

6. Going to the cinema. I really, really like going to the cinema. Since I was a child, I've always gone to the cinema on Fridays, because the weekend comes next and I can go to sleep at late night. I love to go to the cinema of Roses, which I consider kind of a second home.

source

7. Meeting friends. I really like meeting my friends because they are so funny and we always have a good time toghether. We usually go on a walk around the town or sometimes make sleepovers.

8. Singing. I have to clarify one thing, I AM NOT A GOOD SINGER. I usually sing when I'm alone at home, or when I'm in the car with my mom or my dad and a good song is playing on the radio. I wish I could remember Biology units as much as I remember nearly all the songs on the radio, that would be kind of a superpower.

source

9. Sweater Weather. I like that weather when you can feel warm with a sweater, a pull..., taking the boots, the scarves and the gloves out of the closet (it didn't sound that weird in my head). Althought I don't like when it's cold outside and I'm freezing.

source

10. Weekends and holidays. Seriously, who doesn't like holidays? Spending all day lying on the sofa or going shopping? I really love holidays and weekends! I get relaxed and get rid of all the highschool stress, what is really necessary.

My favourite horror film

I haven't seen many horror films because I get scared easily, but I think that my favourite horror film is The Woman in Black. It is based on a novel of the same name.
I saw it for the first time in the cinema and, I can tell, on the big screen was scarier.
The film is the story of Arthur Kipps, a young lawyer, widower, that has to travel to a lonely town, leaving his son in the city with the nanny. The reason why he has to go there is because a customer of his lawyer company has died suddenly, leaving all the paperwork undone. Arthur goes to the customer's house, the Eel Marsh house, but no one in the town wants to approach there. They say that the house is haunted by the spirit of the Woman in Black. In addition, the surrounding area of the house is a marshland that floods by hours. The villagers are scared because everytime someone sees the Woman in Black, the children of the village start to die. When Arthur is in the house, he sees the Woman in Black, and since that moment the curse starts.
I like this film so much because it's not the bloody type of film, it's more psychological horror. There are frightening moments, and it's full of tension, even in the end. The film soundtrack was scary too.
My favourite scene was the moment when Arthur approches his hand to touch the window paine, because there's a mark left by a hand, and when he touches it, the face of a screaming woman appears and frightens him.
The worst scene for me it's the one when Arthur goes to his friend's house and his friend's wife starts to say and do weird things like if she was possessed.
Well, here you have the trailer!

Comic relief

The comic relief is a funny scene in a horror/suspense movie. It's often used in horror films to free the constant tension for a moment. 

I laughed in some horror films, in that comic relief. I laughed in the film Sleepy Hollow, when the main character, Ichabod Crane, was frightened, hiding behind the blankets of his bed, because he had seen the headless horseman. Also, it was very funny when he fainted.

And that's a comic relief!

Suspense...

Alfred Hitchcock was the master of suspense. His most famous film is Psycho. He often used psychopaths (murderers, serial killers, sociopath, mad people...) in his films. He used to film the shadows to get more suspense.

The psychological horror story

The story of the Tell-Tale Heart, written by Edgar Allan Poe, is about a mad man that lives in a big house with an old man. This old man has a white eye, and the mad man is obsess with it. He wants to get rid off the eye and he kills the old man. He hides the body under the floor. Two policemen come to the house and ask about the old man, but he says that the old man is on hollyday. He invites the policemen to a cup of tea but the teapot breakes and the sound reminds the mad man of the sound o the old man's heart. He gets mad and tells the policemen that he has killed the old man. The mad man goes to jail.

The inventor of the PHS (Psychological Horror Story) is Edgar Allan Poe, and the first macabre story he wrote is Metzengerstein, which was first published in 1832.

He also invented the Detective Stories and was a pioneer of the science fiction.

The Gothic Novel

Today I'm going to talk about gothic novels.

A gothic novel is a kind of novel that includes mystery, fear and, sometimes, magical or supernatural elements that cannot be explained. The gothic novel appeared in the eighteenth century and it's related to Romaticism.

The gothic novel was invented by Horace Walpole. His novel, The Castle of Otranto, is considered the first gothic novel.  It was first published in 1764.

Some elements that neither me nor my teammates included in our horror elements' list are these: the atmosphere of mystery and suspense, ancient prophecies, omens, portents and visions, footsteps approaching, haste, largeness, thunderstruck, old castles or mansions, darkness, uncontrollable rage, sorrow, despair, anguish, something or someone wretched, possessions, dread and many more you can find here.

Writing for the exam

There are a lot of things that make me happy. Meeting my sisters and friends after a long time, for example, or the weekend. When I’m happy I use to listen to music, laugh a lot and, if it’s Friday, maybe o to the cinema.

There aren’t many things that make me sad. It makes me sad when I can’t see my sisters because they’re in Barcelona. Mondays make me sad, too, because they’re very tiring. Also, when people die, I’m very sad. Sometimes I cry when I’m sad, or I spend all the afternoon lying on the sofa, watching TV. To get better I always listen to music (or eat some chocolate).

There are a lot of things that make me stressed. Homework and exams get the first place in the list of stressing things in my life, because they’re very tiring! There’s only one way for me to fight stress: music.

I think music is the only thing that’s always with me, no matter in what mood I am.
