First of all I have to admit to I take a lot of time to choose the clothes that I want to wear any given day or to buy them when I go shopping. I like to think what I am going to dress, if that is going to match, if that t-shirt is ok with those pants or even with the shoes. I think that all of this is because I believe that dressing good is fundamental in your life, you should know how to dress appropriate in any different occasion.
I do not think that I really change the way that I dress, since I buy the clothes that I want. Since I was 15 years old or so I star to buy my own clothes and the way I dress everyday. And honestly I do not think that I will change the way that I dress but I do think that when I’m done with college I will have to change the way that I dress to dress appropriate with the job that I will have.
My family is catholic and they have classis values, so do I, so I do not think that dress weird or really different I just dress ‘normal’ and I think that ‘normal’ is really subjective but with it I mean that I dress with jeans, shirts, shoes or maybe a polo, not anything else. But every cloth that I wear I choose it carefully.
Sometimes the only thing that you could see in the clothes that I am wearing is that I am wearing something about my country or maybe my favorite team sport. So because I am from Spain and my favorite team is a soccer team: Real Madrid, you could see me with a shirt, a wristband, a hoodie, something that represent this

Food as art Article 2
Food as art Article 2
This time I am going to talk about one article which name is “Postcard: Spain” and it talks about one couple that love art so they go to spain to visit one the creators of the art that they like and they realize that the artist is actually a cooker who has been recently named as artist of the year in one magazine called Documenta. And this artist is the main cooker of one restaurant: “El Bulli”. Also in the article they describe how this cooker does his plates and works of art.
I think that this article is really related to our discussion. First of all the article says that the one cooker was named artist of the year for one magazine, this is very impressing and a good argument to state, once again, that food can be art in many ways. The way that this guy, Ferran Adria, cooks is comparable to the work of an artist that does paintings or sculptures. He has in his restaurant an amazing number of different plates and meals and each of this ones have a different taste and a different look.
If somebody wants to go to this restaurant of the artist-cooker is the northeast of Spain and it could be around “$500 for dinner”, a little bit expensive, in my opinion, but maybe it is worth it!

Food as art Article 1
Food as art Article 1
The first website that I search for is one were they assumed that food is art because that is their business, let me explain this. This website is a site where you can buy real pieces of art made with food. Almost all of the products that you can buy in these place are made with chocolate. They say in the website that they can do everything that you want with chocolate and some of the things are unbelievable art works such as paintings, sculptures, etc. They do much more things like shoes, chess, jewellery…
In my opinion this relates to our discussion because in this website they are assuming that food is art and that you can do so many things with food and consider them as art. For them there are not discussion in if we consider food as art or no because they demonstrate that food could be art easily.
I found this website very interesting because I thought that you could do art with food, but the things that they show in this website are amazing. They can do almost everything that you ask for with chocolate. There is one sentence in the main page of the website that say: “Food is art can create anything in any food substance from chocolate to gravy!” and I think that if we do not consider this as art what art is going to be then?

Life Values Assessment
First of all I want to describe what I did today: I woke up and then I went to school because I had 1 class, also I had one tutor, so I went to the tutor and then to my house to eat. After eating I went to practice tennis and conditioning and after this I studied a little bit, took a shower and had dinner.
In my top 5 values, the first one is family, and comparing to the activities that I did today I talked a lot with my dad during my lunch and also I was chatting with my sister, for me is so important to keep the family at the first step and as a priority. Other top-5 values is health and today I had a very healthy day, eating an equilibrated diet and doing a lot of exercise during my practice, without health you can´t have anything in your life.
Also I want to comment that one of my top values is wealth and and every day I try to study hard and practice tennis hard so I can reach my goals and have wealth in the future. The last thing that I want to say is that is ok if you want to be wealthy in the future but you have to try to reach your with loyalty, honesty and integrity and having always there your friends

Meaning of "Vamos Rafa"
I was searching for tennis blogs and then I found this blog about the spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal: http://hcfoo.com/2007/10/whats-meaning-of-vamos-rafa.html
In this blog the creator explains the meaning of "Vamos Rafa" which is a phrase in spanish that means "Come on Rafa" and he type this phrase in the back of his shoes. Also a lot of spanish and southamerican players yell "Vamos" when they win an important point or match
