Businesses loving Valentine's Day ever more

Summary

This notice is about that the Americans had spent $13.7 billion this year on Valentine's Day, up 22 percent from just five years ago. Only on Christmas and on the back-to-school season, people spend more money. The traditional methods are used to donate to the most nearby and dear persons. The most select gifts are  love cards. According to some journalists,  In theory everyday should be like Valentine’s Day. And every Valentine’s Day should be about whom you spend it with, not how much was spent. 

I think that it is not necessary to spend so much money to demonstrate the love towards a person.

A love quote and a love film

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Bruce Lee.

Translation:

El amor es como una amistad a la que se prendió fuego. En un principio una llama, muy bonita, a menudo caliente y feroz, pero aún así solo luz y parpadeo. A medida que crece el amor, nuestros corazones maduran y nuestro amor se convierte en carbón, cala hondo y es inextinguible.

Bruce Lee.

What's music for me?

For me music is my pation, my favourite hobby. I play the guitar, the fiscorn and the trombone. I enjoy playing songs with the guitar. I like to interpretate sardanes and music for orchestra/band with the fiscorn. And I like playing some songs with the piano, although I haven't done any class of it. I am very hopeful to play all these instruments because I love music.
To improve with these difficult instruments I have to practise a lot but I don't care because I enjoy doing it.
I play in La Banda Municipal de Figueres since this past summer. We are working in a project and we have played in some events like La Acústica this past summer.
I am very excited to be a member of that young band and to belong to a cobla, La Castellonina. It is the music school's cobla and it has to progress with all the members. It's amazing when I have to play in an event because I'm not nervous, in fact I enjoy it.
If I want to go to a professional cobla (although I have already played in a professional one, Els Rossinyolets) I have to study more and more to impress them. I hope that it can be as early as possible!!!

My pets

In general I love all the animals because I think they are our friends. But in this post I'm going to talk about my pets. I have a dog, Blacky, and three turtles. I had three birds, but they died because of hot. One day, one of the turtles fell from a second floor. I was very sad because I thought that it was dead. But it wasn't and it still alive. 

I have my dog since I was 9. Normaly I take care of Blacky and I walk it. When it was a puppy, it was black and for this reason its name's Blacky. Blacky is very playful, bushy, loving but very nervous. It seems a hairball that moves from side to side. Sometimes, when I want to play with Blacky but it doesn't want, it groans to me, but I know that Blacky loves me and I stop bother it. I love It too.
