First of all, i love Pandas. I always watch "Pandamonio" in animal planet channel.  I like this photo because show a mother's love. I'm not so sure but Pandas only have 1 baby for year and is too difficult to get her pregnant so is really nice see her play and enjoy with him.

What's my Opinion?

Today I will give you my opinion about diferents things related to our society.

In the first place I want to talk about the violence on television. Remember my chilhood, when i was 5 years old, the movies and cartoons for childrens that i watched on tv were funny and didn't show any kind of violence. the purpose were to entertain and some of them taugth english, other habits, but today is too diferent. exist diferents cartoons that only show violence and distortion the real world, so the childrens learn this things and after they believe that is it normal but is not. The same thing to happen with the movies. If we go to the cinema there are a few movies with a stronge content, the other ones are related with violence, spiritualism, wars, blood and finally we think that all this things are ok and common.. so I'm totally desagree.

In the second place, about legalizing abortion in some cases, i think that is not ok, because all the human being to deserve born and have a family. For any reason that you don't want a kid, you can to give it for adoption for another family that thay really want a baby.

What is your opinion about owning an exotic pet?  In mi opinion we can have all the pets we want given that we take care of them and give them a nice life, in a nice place and full of love.

What is your opinion about women in the military? i think that is a great place to prove that is not necessary be a man to this job and also to serve one's country  

Finally, related to climate change, all that happen for our own responsability, causing for example the melting of poles for the huge increase to he temperature, and is too late to repair the damage.

Give me your opinion about this topics and, see you later..

The greatest thing in the world.. my cellphone :)

In our world, every day the scientist and enginners to discover and create all kind of stuffs.. This century is characterize for the big technological growth.

My favorite piece of technology is my cellphone. I really love it because i can do a lot of things everywhere. I can call my parents, my friends... I can speak to anyone. You just have to put the number and in seconds you will be talking with this person, also if she or he is in other country. I also  navigate in internet, in facebook, check my mail, etc.

I use my cellphone every day, In every hour.. Just when I go to bed I stop to use it.. But I put beside my bed just in case to need it. 

I like it because I can be available in every place, every hour.. And conect with all the cybernetic world.

I got my first cellphone when i was 11 years old. My father give to me in my birthday and well, I change  devices each 1 year or when start to fail.. Sometimes I look another one that is according to my requirements and change the old device for this new and advanced cellphone.

Whitout my cellphone I thougth that my life probably would be.. I don't now.. Sometimes  when I forgot my cellphone in home I can't do anything. I'm so dependent of this little device that I really can only imagine spend more than a 3 days without it. Is so sad think like this but is true :/ 

That's it... I hope that you don't have to depends in a computer, tv or cellphone like me.
