Animals

Hi everybody!

How are you today? I’m super tired and I think now I know what does it feel to be a zombie (and it’s awful).

So today I’m gonna talk about a very special animal (and this post is completely dedicated to a university’s friend called Loreto).

The animal that I will chose this time are: dinosaurs! (and I will talk about a very special one)

One of my classmates is a dinosaur, and its natural ambient is my home. Sometimes she goes there and we study together and I feed her. She loves eating french fries, chocolates, cakes and ice creams but she’s super skinny. Her hair is long, black and curly and she loves art.

I care about my dinosaur, I take her to the vet and feed it. Sometimes I go with her to the park  so she can feel in a more friendly environment.

Dinosaurs get along well with bunnies (bunnies like me) and are super responsibles. Her favorite tv show is Hannah Montana, and now I’m introducing to her “Octonautas” which is tv show from discovery kids that I love.

Now, talking in a more serious way, I love animals and I think our society needs to think more about animal rights because if we want to live in a fair world we can’t just focuss on human’s problems.

So which is your favorite animal? Do you have some pets? I wanna know all about it!

Love and magical hours of sleep, Daniela.

Girls that Glitter Love the Dark

Hi again!

Originally my post was going to be about MaYaN, a new death metal band that I totally love (yes, I sleep with my bunny and listen to metal, and I’m proud of it). But Hannah just created a blog, and I want her to know that someone in the blogosphere is talking about her.

I just can’t talk about Hanna’s music from an objective point of view. I just can describe her music as something very unique, kind of ethereal and magical, sweet and dark at the same time. Sometimes I listen to her before I go to sleep because, I just love all her anti – lullabies and it has become a therapy listening to her at night.

I think we both feel that our inner world is way too different from that thing called the “real world”, so we try to create atmospheres according to what we really are and feel, and stay true to ourselves in creative ways.

What kind of music do you like? Do you have a favourite song? Maybe a favourite band? Let me know about it!

Lace and Sparkle, Daniela

Today News: An Unhappy Childhood

(source: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/jan/12/unhappy-childhoods-childrens-society-low)

The article talks about a research that found out that almost one in 10 children over the age of eight are unhappy in the UK, according to a landmark survey by the Children's Society

The prime minister said that it was time “we admitted that there's more to life than money”. At a first look I coulnd’t imagine how money could impact on children’s happiness, because I remember that when I was a child money was never an issue to me.

Anyway, material wealth does appear to affect a child's happiness, and that’s why Unicef declaired that British children were caught in a "materialistic trap".

The survey shows that children as young as eight were "aware of the financial issues their families face". Childrens care about money because they are worried about their  appearance, at a very young ages. They care about their clothes and how they look. This pression about the image increases with age, and is greater among girls.

I think our society is doing something wrong if children are so unhappy because of matters like their appearence. It seems that the media is putting such a high emphasis on the body image that everyone is just getting mad about it, even children.
