My almost PHOBIA...

A phobia landing…

Hi my friends!  I would start this post telling you that I believe that I don’t have any real phobia, well… I think. So, I decide to proclaim my phobia, like my almost phobia.

One day, when I was a little child (smaller than now), my baby-sitter had an emergency with my sister and she needed to leave me alone for like ten minutes. Because I was very scared I went out of my house and I run thru my condominium. When I finally got to the end of the street I stopped and suddenly I saw an ugly black bird flying towards me, it was scary. But the worst part was that he landed on my neck and it started to bit me, It’s was really awful!! I tried quickly to get it off my neck and I think that I maybe hit it and that makes me feel so bad L

I don’t blame the bird because I think that maybe the animal saw me like a tree (a little one), or maybe he was a woodpecker, I don’t know…

Because I don’t blame it I believe that actually, I don’t have a special fear of birds, birds aren't a phobia for me. Independently of this, when they are flying towards me, I turn a little nervous and of course I cover my neck with my clothes hahaha.

Hoping you like my embarrassing story…

Bye, see you!

Photos...

Hi friends:

I will write about a picture that I saw a few years ago in a very famous exhibition of photos called “World press photo”. I went with my dad to that gallery and I watched very shocking photos. One of those photos is this:

This was taken in 30th March of 2012 by Ammar Awad on Jerusalem, Israel. During a protest in Israel, the border police officers used pepper spray against the Palestinian protestor and detained him. This photo for me represents, like so many others, the clashes that happen between Israel and Palestine. I think that the city of Al-Jalil belongs to Palestinians but the military control is in the hands of Israel, and with this Israel is always trying to remove Palestinians of the city. The constant harassment from the Israelis, have had thousands of Palestinians without home.

My favorite movie

Hello people of Gotham:

Today I’m going to write about my favorite movie in the world. It was difficult to me to choose one movie because of two reasons:

1.  I’m completely forgetful and I don’t remember every movie that I saw hahaha.
2.  I like too many movies that it’s hard to choose one (so indecisive).

But, because Batman it’s my favorite superhero I select “The Dark Knight”. First of all I believe that Batman it’s the best superhero because he can exist, clearly he will need to be rich, but he can, Batman doesn't need superpowers like Superman or Spiderman.

That is why I love him with all my heart (I love Christian Bale too), and with the movie The Dark Knight I was totally amazed, the connection between Batman and the Joker it’s really fantastic, they are so similar and opposed at the same time, so they are completely complementary. At the story what you see is basically Batman and the Joker fighting for Gotham City’s soul, and for the spirit of the people who lives in that city.

The principal characters of the story are Batman (of course), The Joker and Harvey Dent; this last character plays a very important role, because we can see his transformation along the movie.

Finally I can say that I always love the comic of Batman and everything about him, but this movie makes that I can see it a thousand times, I could know the script completely nevertheless I will never be get tired of it.

Bye! And remember this: “It is not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me”
