Peacock Indian: When I was child, I lived in a great house with a lot of animals, and I specially remember that i had many peacocks. I like their feathers and the intense colors that they have, also that look like a big eyes that look at you when the male peacock opens them for attract to the female.

Pika in peril: Pika is a rodent that live in North América. Is like a hámster, but they live in wild áreas without human intervention and don't will be adopted like pets. Probably, the cartoon called "pikachu" was inspired in a Pika, because both are rodents and are very cute.

My Favorite Animal

Since childhood, I've always liked mice, because they are a small animals, but they are smart and very cute...


They are small animals that are no larger than 20 cm usually, they have 4 small legs and a long tail usually.


They are great pets, because don't require a special care. Mice usually run, walk, or stand on all fours, but when eating, fighting, or orienting themselves, they rear up on their hind legs with additional support from the tail. When they run, the horizontal tail serves for balance; the end stands up vertically, unless the mouse is frightened. Mice are good jumpers, climbers, and swimmers, and can be learn a lot of funny tricks.

Mice are omnivorous, but usually they are fed with vegetables and fruits, and like most other rodents, do not vomit.

Tecnologic... Tecnologic... ♫

In my free time, in the University, when i go to jogging or simply when i take a walk, my smartphone goes with me. Definitely my life wouldn't be the same without this little and complete pìece of the actual tecnologic...
I got my actual smartphone 2 years ago approximately and it's working well, but sometimes have a little lag, but it's bearable, and I will do the appropriate maintenance when is necessary.

Practically I use my smartphone for many things:
- For listen music ♫♫ (I do this the most of the time!!).
- For take photos when I look a beautiful and impressive moments. 
- To stay in touch with friends, family and classmates
- To play games (especially Pokemon) in my free time.

I use my phone a little times in the day, because i'm doing more activities to the rest of time, like studying, training or simply share with friends.

I like because it's a very functional tool for make a lot of task in my day, but my life without my smartphone don't be very different, because i don't have an addictiion for use it... It's a good tool, but it's not strictly necessary and important...

"Still Got The Blues"

Previously, in the last post, I said I love the music. Rock, Pop, Electronic and Classic music are my favorite styles. I play guitar in my free time, but I don't have a band, cause some people don't like how I play and my music styles.
I really love the Blues. It's my favorite music Style, and my "music hero" and inspiration is Gary Moore.
He was a Northern Irish musician, and he was in Ireland in born 4 April 1952 and die in Spain in 6 February 2011.
Gary Moore was a revolutionary man in the world of music, specifically in the blues, because he gave a "second air" to this old style and makes revive with powerfull riffs and melodic and delicious solos.

"Still Got The Blues" is the most representative song of his career. This song is a romantic blues ballad dedicated for a missing love that he remember with this amazing lyrics and guitar sound. Enjoy!

And other of my favorites song, called Out In The Fields.
