No!! My car!!

When I went out my house. I was really surprised. My car was disapeared! I called inmediatly at the police and when they arrived they told me that my car wasn´t the first.

A group of thiefs had already stealed three cars, but the police had founded something strange. The thiefs had arrived more or less at 3 o´clock in the morning, and they had drunk some bottles of whisky, later, at 4 o´clock they had broken a window of the car and they get in to the car. Although the thiefs were very drunken, they had done a bridge and here, the scent was lost.

But when I was very down, the police had founded my car. However, it wasn´t  in perfect state . The thiefs had burnt my car.

my 16 birthday


When I had gone to my house yesterday, I found everything very quiet and dark and
was somewhat suspicious because in
my house they always have their lights on . I go to open the door when the dog started barking and at those moments had been heard some voices inside the house and I was scared to see all that had happened. Suddenly the lights were lit and they were my friends and family that I had prepared a surprise party for my 16 birthday.

¡OH! ¡My hair!

When I woke up yesterday morning and I looked in the mirror I almost died!
My brother had been in my room at night, while I was sleeping.

When I was in front of the mirror and I looked my hair cut, I knew that my brother had done something at night.

He had been cut my hair!!! He had been planning this revenge for a long time because once I did something similar to it.

He had been running all morning and when he came home he was very tired. After lunch he slept a nap. While he was sleeping I went in his room and tied his hands and legs. When he woke up, he felt! So I knew he had been planning this revenge for me.



But I think revenge again... hahahahahaha

John Cyril Cranko (15 August 1927 – 26 June 1973)


He was a choreographer with the Sadler's Wells Ballet (which later became the Royal Ballet) and the Stuttgart Ballet.
Cranko was born in Rustenburg in the former province of Transvaal, South Africa. As a child, he would put on puppet shows as a creative outlet. Cranko received his early ballet training in Cape Town under the leading South African ballet teacher and director, Dulcie Howes, of the University of Cape Town Ballet School. He then moved to London.
Following the expiration of the copyright on Arthur Sullivan's music in 1950, John Cranko choreographed the comic ballet Pineapple Poll, in collaboration with Sir Charles Mackerras, for a British Festival. Pineapple Poll was based on W. S. Gilbert's Bab Ballad The Bumboat Woman's Story, with music exclusively by Sir Arthur Sullivan including music from various Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. His father, Herbert, a balletomane, spent a great deal of time with him in London.
John Cranko wrote and developed a musical revue Cranks, which opened in London in December 1955, moved to a West End theatre the following March, and ran for over 220 performances. With music by John Addison, its cast of four featured singers Anthony Newley, Annie Ross, Hugh Bryant and dancer Gilbert Vernon then transferred to New York. An original cast CD has recently been released. Cranko followed the format of Cranks with a new revue New Cranks opening at the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith on 26 April 1960 with music by David Lee and a stellar cast including Gillian Lynne, Carole Shelley and Bernard Cribbins, but it failed to have the same impact.
Cranko also choreographed the ballet Onegin, an adaptation of the verse novel Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin set to music by Tchaikovsky (mainly The Seasons) orchestrated by Kurt-Heinz Stolze. Other full length ballets he choreographed are Romeo and Juliet, set to music by Prokofiev and The Taming of the Shrew.
Cranko choked to death after suffering an allergic reaction to a sleeping pill he took during a transatlantic flight. His mother, Grace, who was divorced from Herbert and lived in what was then Rhodesia, heard about his death from a radio broadcast. The ballet Voluntaries by Glen Tetley was created in the memory of John Cranko.
A full list of Cranko's ballet is here.
In my opinion, dancing has always been a feminine activity, but today things are changing.
Now it isn’t seen as bad as before, it was always related with women,and dancers who were men weren't well seen.
These things don't only happen with dancing, they are important in working life too, there are typically feminine jobs, like nurse. A few years ago only women were nurses. Formerly ideas were very chauvinist.
Nowadays things have improved a lot and lots of women have got jobs that only men could have years ago. But I think things have to change even more and I hope one day things will be much better for everybody.
