Hola holitaaaa!!
Here I am, writing again in my blog as I promissed. This time I'd like to write about what's going on in my life. Hence, I'll talk about the latest news that accur to me, such as my fears and worries for my future.
First of all, let's talk about my academic future and my plans. As you know, I want to "opositar", so I have to take lessons to achieve my objective. and here's where the story begins. I was really worried for not having a teacher who could get me ready for such an important exam. In the end, I was lucky and fate shone to me. Hence, I'm going to be taught for my "oposiciones", fcat that makes me really happy. Now, this means a lot of work to be done by myself: I have to study a lot and get better on my English, not only spoken, but also written. This is the reason why I'm practising (you should know that I've written this first by hand in my notebook because I need to get used to handwritting again in order not to get tired when I'm being tested).
Second of all, I need to improve my English in general terms. I mean, I need to learn vocabulary and be able to use it when speaking/writing, so that my english looks more alike to a Proficiency level one. (God! I like these pens I bought!They are pretty good in spite of being cheap). It's a pity that my handwriting looks really bad and ugly. Why? I mean, I used to write a lot, but if I have to write quickly it suddenly becomes a monster!THIS DIDN'T USE TO HAPPEN!!! I used to take notes quickly and with a beautiful handwriting, and now I'm not able to do it....WHY? (ok, I know, this last paragraph is a mess!hahaha I usually write things as they come to my mind. I think this is funnier for a blog. It's a more informal and natural way of writing. I'm trying to remember how this type of writing was called....stream-writing? self-stream? ohhhh...I remember that I've studied it in my literature lessons but I can't remember it now!!)
ok. To sum up, I really need to improve my English! I think I'll write some essays but, in order to do it more interesting I'd like to upload them to my blog. Maybe I could write about some questions that I have about the English language.Here's one: I keep reading stuff in English and watching things in English, but my English doen't seem to improve. Why is it so?We've always been taught that reading in English will help us to acquire a better level, but it doesn't look like that to me! It's like I'm working a lot my passive knowledge but the active remains passive (sardonics, uhm?) I barely have chances to speak in English with somebody or to write to someone in English. I can write in English, as I'm doing here, but it would be cooler if someone correct my mistakes (otherwise, I'll keep making the same mistakes).
Last but not least, I'm teaching some kids at home and I'm going to work in an Academy, too. This last will help me with my oral skills, since I have to speak in English during my lessons. Anyway, I'd like to practise my skills doing differebt things, such as translating some stuff like comics, novels....ANY IDEA?
This are the news so far. Forgive my mistakes and my messy way of writing (I've already told you that I write these kind of things as they come to my mind) and hope you don't get as bored as it looks it will do.

Con Xeito!!

I'm back!
Hola, Holitaaaaa!!
So, here I am after almost 2 years. Waoh!so many things to say...I don't know where to start!
Frist of all, I'm going to write in English because I really need it! It's been years since I last wrote something in English!!!
Ok. Second, something about me.... I've already finished all my "compulsory" studies. Now, I want to study for "oposiciones" (don't really know if there's a term for that in English): they are the State exams for being a teacher in a highschool, for instance. As you can see, it's going to be a really long path to go through. Anyway, that's what I want to do, so there are not many other options....hahahahah Meantime, I will give English lessons to children, teenagers and adults. This way, I will be practising my English skills and my teaching skills (also very important).
uhm.....I don't know what else to write!! I know I said at the beginning that I had a lot of things to say but.... I just remembered that I promissed to write again in my blog and I did it. That's the really important thing!hahah
Next time, it would be better!!!PROMISE!!!

Today: TRIPS---> BRISTOL!!!
When people say this typical sentence: you need to know something by yourself in order to give your own opinion about it.....
I can use that sentence for Bristol!!
What was Bristol to me?? Bristol was a name that I'd heard lot of times...but no image would come to my mind with it. Neither would do any museum, famous place, building....ANYTHING! But, what a surprise to go there and find ONE OF THE BEST CITIES IN ENGLAND!!
Till now, Oxford was the #1 for me, but Bristol would share that position with it (since they are different styles of cities).
Just before going to Bristol, some friends said "oh!!people say that's an ugly city", "It's not that famous", etc what made me feel kind of "upset" because I thought I was waisting my money. I thought it will be something like Manchester (I am sorry, but people just have bad words about this city...and actually...there's not that much to see there....my favourite thing was the football stadium....BUT you have to live the experience of going there) but, fortunately, Bristol is one of the best places I've been till now!
Just from the beginning: the SS Great Britain museum!! That ship!!OMG!!amazing!! It's like 10 pounds but it really worths it. An interactive museum where we had so much fun!!just playing to dress with those old clothes and taking pictures as if we were sailing....xDD really nice!!and then...the DECK!!where the children weren't those 5-year-old boys but ourselves!taking pictures on the canions, with the timo....even recording videos! and last but no least....THE INSIDE! Not just to see the inside of the ship but really feel how it was to spend days in it: waxworks playing dfferent roles and, the best of all, the different smell in the different rooms. For instance, the kitchen really smelled like a real kitchen (and, to be fair...I was so hungry that THAT smell increased my apetite), the place where the horses were smelled like a real stable , etc. We spend like 3 hours there....not exagerating!! I can tell for sure that we spent like 2 hours and a half.
On the other side, the other thing we enjoyed the most: THE BRIDGE!!! Just need to take the bus number8 at the hypodromus square (I think it was called like that). It costs 1,90 pounds. Not just the bridge and the views are cool, but also the part near it (I don't remember the name now). A green place where you can enjoy of wonderful panoramas and take cool pictures of the bridge.
This last is a panoramic picture that I took with my mobile phone. Unfortunately, it looks too small here. On the left you can see the bridge, and on the right side it's the observatory, placed in the green area.
We couldn't see the University, which seemed to be very cool, but we took pictures around the city:
And I think this is a good way to summarize this trip!!^^
Bye, Bye..
Bkñs!!

This room smelled really aweful!!!

MORRIÑA!
Hi!!
Hoy voy a escribir en mi gallego de calle, porque tengo morriña.
Bueno, pois hoxe levo un día morriñoso no que non me apeteceía levantarme da cama....pero todolos xeitos tiñame que erguer pra traballar un pouco. Así que encendín Spotify para espabilar un pouco mentres limpo o escritorio pra traballar....e claro, así que escoitei a primeira canción apeteciume escribir esta entrada antes de traballar. Cal fui esa canción?? Pos fui unha de Estopa, o meu grupo español favorito.
Bueno, pois nesta entrada simplemente vou poñer esa canción que me activou para comezar a traballar e vou poñer algunhas imaxes do lugar onde vivo: COSTA DA MORTE
Otro día haré una entrada como es debido sobre costa da Morte...pero ahora...A CURRAR!!!
BYE, BYE!!!
Bkñs!!
HOY: COMIDA---> EMPANADA GALLEGA
Hi!!
Hoy estaba pensando en la entrada nueva del Blog y sabía que la quería hacer sobre alguna comida, pero no sabía cual. Finalmente, me decidí por la empanada gallega porque la hice ayer y tengo alguna foto.
Entre mis experiencias Erasmus, una cosa que tengo que destacar es el amplio conocimiento gastronómico que estoy adquiriendo y compartiendo con compañeros de todo el mundo. He aprendido recetas chinas, brasileñas, francesas, colombianas, holandesas.... he probado productos de los cuales jamás había escuchado hablar y otros que, aun sabiendo lo que son, nunca los había podido probar. (Un ejemplo de esto último es el bambú).
Pues bien, una vez la introducción está hecha, ahí queda la receta:
EMPANADA DE ATÚN:
Ingredientes:
- Harina de fuerza (esto es, una harina que sea apta para hacer masas, no respostería. Yo me enteré de esto después de mirar mucho por internet. Resulta que dependiendo de las proteínas de la harina, esta va a ser propia para hacer unas cosas u otras. De todas maneras, también se puede hacer la masa con harina especial para pizza, harinas que ya sean propias para masa y traigan la levadura, etc)
- Levadura de panadero
- Agua tibia
- Vino Blanco
- Aceite de oliva /aceite del sofrito (que explicaré después)
- 1 huevo
- 2 latas medianas o 1 lata grande de atún
- 1 pimiento morrón rojo
- 1 pimiento morrón verde
- 1 cebolla
- Una cucharadita pequeña de pimentón dulce
- Huevo cocido (si se quiere)
Modo de hacer:
En una sartén ponemos un poco de aceite de oliva, como 3 o 4 cucharadas, y añadimos los pimientos y la cebolla cortados en juliana (los pimientos en tiras y la cebolla en media luna). Les añadimos un poco de sal y los dejamos pochar a fuego lento. una vez estén bien pochados los apartamos del fuego y les añadimos la cucharadita de pimentón dulce (esto les dará color). Ahora añadimos el atún, mezclamos todo y dejamos enfriar.
A parte, batimos un huevo y le añadimos medio vaso de vino blanco y medio vaso de aceite de oliva o del aceite que sobra ahora en el refrito. Añadimos una pizca de sal y ponemos bastante harina. Se que lo hago al revés, que no hago primero el volcán de harina, pero a mi me salen las masas mejor así, cada uno, como se llama este Blog, tiene su XEITO! Bueno, en cuanto a la levadura....si no viene con la harina la habría que deshacer en un vasito con un poco de agua tibia (poca agua, porque ya tenemos el aceite y el vino blanco). Aquí en Inglaterra la tienen en polvo, parecida a los sobres Royal de España, entonces la mezclo con la harina. Se va mezclando todo y se va añadiendo harina según se va necesitando, al igual que un pequeño chorrito de agua tibia para que la levadura reaccione. Una vez tengamos la masa homogénea dejaremos reposar en un bol cubierto con un trapo y en una superficie a temperatura ambiente (mejor que tire un poquito más a caliente que a frío)
Esperamos a que suba la masa. De media hora a 1 hora, normalmente. Dividimos la masa en 2: un cachito más grande que el otro. Con la parte más grande vamos a hacer la parte inferior. Estiramos y ponemos en una bandeja que esté untada con el aceite del sofrito. Añadimos el relleno y, si queremos, por encima de este un huevo cocido cortado en laminas o en taquitos. Estiramos la otra parte de la masa y tapamos. Cerramos los bordes, pinchamos la masa con un tenedor y pintamos con el aceite del sofrito. Y al horno hasta que veamos que está lista. A 180º yo le calculo que unos 30-40 minutos. Depende de la calor que desprenda el horno (obviamente tiene que estar precalentado y dar calor tanto de abajo como de arriba, para que así la masa se cueza)
Y LISTO!
Me he dado cuenta de que debería haber hecho esto con fotos de los pasos etc para que las indicaciones fuesen más fáciles, pero como se me ha ocurrido hacer esta entrada así de repente....pero prometo subir para las próximas veces! De todas formas, voy a subir ahora una foto del pimentón dulce, que siempre suele causar problemas.
Este es el pimentón dulce que yo uso.
Esta es la empanada que hice ayer!!
Y con esto os dejo. Espero saber si habeis probado a hacerla y vuestras experiencias. También espero que mi Kerida K deje algunas fotos de la primera vez que hice aquí la empanada...porque yo no tengo más fotos!!jajaaja
Bye, Bye!!
Bkñs!!
PRIMER POST, PRIMERA EXPERIENCIA BLOGGERA, PRIMERAS IDEAS,,,
HOLAAAAA!!!
Veamos, llevaba bastante tiempo con la idea de tener un blog donde compartir varias cosas....y hablando con una amiga (sí, te categorizo en amigas...xDD) he decidido empezar.
Mi mayor problema a la hora de hacer un blog era el TEMA! Por una parte pensaba: vale, me gustan varias cosas....no tendré problema.... Pero por otra parte: MIER**!! tanto que me gusta...por qué me decido?? Al final he decidido escribir de todo un poco según lo que me apetezca en el día.... así que en este Blog os encontrareis amplia gama de RECETAS, TRUCOS DE MAQUILLAJE, PEINADOS, MANUALIDADES, MANICURA, DIBUJOS, MODA y...las últimas novedades en mi vida: MI EXPERIENCIA ERASMUS y MI VIDA COMO LINGÜISTA!!xD
Vamos, un Blog de locos!!jajaja
Antes de nada, quiero exponer mis actuales problemas: NO SE COMO EDITAR EL BLOG Y A VER LO QUE SALE POR AHI Y A VER LO QUE HAGO PARA QUE QUEDE BIEN BONITO!jajaja
Y ahora ya si, ya me presento:
Pues soy de España, concretamente de Galicia. Así que soy bilingüe: hablo Español y Gallego. Además estoy estudiando Filología inglesa, por lo que también se algo de inglés. (Y también estudié un poquito de italiano). Por estas razones, me gustaría que mi Blog se distinguiese no solo por su amplia variedad temática, sinó también por sus diversos estilos lingüísticos. Me gustaría escribir de vez en cuando en gallego (normativo o no), inglés, algo de italiano (para así no perderlo) y, los días que lleve prisa...pues escribir español pero del típico de sms de texo....esto es: con K etc....que soy muy vaga con el PC!xD
Desde que estoy estudiando filología noto que hay cosas en las lenguas queme llaman la atención, sobre todo ahora que me relaciono más con gente de mi mismo campo, y preguntas como: ¿Cómo aprendí dos idiomas al mismo tiempo? me resultan difíciles de responder cuando alguien me lo pregunta. Por cosas como estas....filosofaré (me inventé esto??) sobre el cacao mental (así, a lo coloquial) que mi cerebro sufre por tener tantos idiomas ahí archivados.
Debo decir que antes de estudiar filología estudié diseño de moda, por lo que también me gustan muchas de las cosas citadas anteriormente.
No debo dejar esto sin decir también que me encanta el anime, manga etc (incluso escucho K-pop desde hace un año)....vamos, que mis gustos son AMPLIIIIIIIIIIISIMOS! Por lo que creo que no abrá tiempo de aburrirse con mi Blog.^^
Y eso, que ahora mismo estoy un poco cansada así que....quiero postear (sí, postear. Me invento palabras q cojo del inglés) y ver como quedó!!xDD
Ah!la última cosa: el nombre del Blog!!pues....que digo esa palabra mucho porque soy gallega y porque tiene muchas connotaciones difíciles de explicar y de traducir al español!! Y que siempre te acordaras de mi Blog porque se te ocurrió a ti la idea, querida K!!^^
Byeeeee!!!
Bkñs!
^^
