1. Chuck Norris has died. Long live Bear Grylls.
2. Every teeneager has Tuenti, ALL of them.

One year

It is one year since I first met you.

I went to get my lip pierced because I needed to change things in my life and this way I wouldn’t forget anymore. You came, and also changes did with you. And I can’t forget, in fact I can remember as if it was yesterday, and today I hardly can believe it.

Thanks for coming to my life. Whatever happens, I will always be with you; remember it’s signed somewhere.

1. Nothing has changed since the movie “Barrio”.
2. I get by better in the underground of Madrid (or even London) than in Valencia.
3. Everybody has an iPhone (or at least a Blackberry).
