(iii) run to the horse, ride on and gallop away?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here are the interpretations:

(1) The door:

opened door - you are a person who is willing to share

closed door - you are a person who is keeping things to yourself

(2) The table:

Round/oval - any friends that come along, you will accept and trust them completely

Square/rectangle - you are a bit more choosy on friends and only hangout with those whom you think are

on the same frequency

Triangle - you are really very very picky about friends and there are not many friends in your life

(3) Water in vase:

Empty - your life is not fulfilled

Half filled - what you want in your life is half fulfilled

Full - your life is completely fulfilled and good for you! :)

(4) Material of vase:

glass/clay/porcelain - you are weak in your life and tends to be fragile

metal/plastic/wood - you are strong in your life

(5) Flow of waterfall:

0 - no sex drive at all

1 to 4 - low sex drive

5 - average sex drive

6 to 9 - high sex drive

10 - gone case!!! super high sex drive!!! Can't live without sex...

(6) Keys:

1 - you have one good friend in your life

2 to 5 - you have a few good friends in your life

6 to 10 - you have a lot good friends

(7) Castle:

Old - shows that your last relationship is not a good one and is not memorable to you.

New - your last relationship is good and it's still fresh in your heart.

(8) The jewel from the murky pool water:

YES - when your partner is around you,  you will flirt around with others.

NO - when your partner is around, you will stick around with him/her most of the time.

(9) The money from the clear water pool:

YES - even when your partner is not around you,  you will still flirt around with others.

NO - even when your partner is not around, you will still think of her and will be loyal to her, not flirting around with others.

(10) The size of the box:

small - low ego

medium - average ego

big - high ego

(11) Material of the box (outlook of the box):

cardboard/paper/wooden(non-shining) - humble personality

metal - proud and stuck up personality

(12) The material of the bridge:

metal bridge - have very strong bond with your friends

wooden bridge - average bond with your friends

rattan bridge - you are not in good terms with your friends

(13) Colour of the horse:

white - your partner is pure and good in your heart.

grey/brown - your partner is only average in your heart.

black - your partner doesn't seem to be good in your heart and appears to be bad sign.

(14) Horse action:

still and quiet/nibbling grass - your partner is a very homely and humble person.

running about - your partner is a wild type person.

 This the last but most important part of the test. From how I ended the story... a tornado approaches...

What are you going do? There are only 3 options:

(i) run and hide in the box? (ii) run and hide under the bridge? (iii) run to the horse, ride on and gallop away?

What will you choose?

Now, the above is signified by these things:

tornado - problems in your life

box - you

bridge - your friends

horse - your partner

(i) So if you choose the box, you keep your problems to yourself whenever you are met with problems.

(ii) or if you choose the bridge, you will go to your friends whenever you are met problems.

(iii) or lastly if you choose the horse, you seek your partner whenever you are met with problems.

So if you think this is worth to take some time to send it to your friends, then you are a friend indeed.

Or you think it is kind of true, you can also send it to your friends cause you are true too.

Do you like a song because of its message, rhythm...?

3rd Year students are working on songs with our teacher María Cortés. They are discussing what they value more when listening to a song.

COMING OUT

Connor Franta (born September 12, 1992) is an American Shorty Award Nominated YouTube blogger, comedian and internet personality. He was born in Wisconsin, but moved to a small town in Minnesota as a child. On December 8th, 2014, Connor made a video coming out and telling the world that he is gay. He revealed that he has never felt anything special between himself and women and has known for the majority of his life that he is gay. He has only just come up with the courage to come out. He mentioned that he had tried for a long time to admit it to himself, and only within the past year was able to say it to himself out loud.

Thank you, Lucía, from 3 A.

Taylor Swift: Back to December

“Back to December” is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift for her third studio album, Speak Now. It was written by Swift, who produced the song alongside Nathan Chapman. According to Swift, “Back to December” is the first time she ever apologizes to someone in a song. Critics speculate that the song is about Taylor Lautner, Swift’s ex-boyfriend, although neither Swift nor Lautner have commented on these allegations. “Back to December” is considered an orchestral country pop ballad, and its lyrics are a remorseful plea for forgiveness for breaking up with a former lover.
