About the Author:
Wilkie Collins was born
in London. As a
schoolboy, Collins was always inventing stories. And after studying law, he
published his first book, a biography of his father. Later, Collins began to
write for a living. In 1851, Wilkie Collins met Charles Dickens, and they
became close friends. Collins wrote for the magazine of Dickens, Household
Words. Then they wrote two plays and a book together. The true genius of
Collins became apparent in the 1860s, he became the leading writer of a popular
new genre called the “sensation novel”. Collins’s best-known works are: The
Woman in White (1860), No Name (1862), Armadale (1866) and The Moonstone
(1868). All this books follow Collins’s philosophy of writing: “Make them
laugh, make them cry, make them wait”.
I am not going to tell you the life of bruno mars, because I find it boring and uninteresting. So I prefer to tell you what I feel when I hear it.
When I first heard a song of Bruno Mars, I just didn’t like how he sang, or the meaning of his song, or either his style. I suppose it's because I didn’t stop to listen them well . Now I realize that Bruno Mars has become one of my favorite singers . He has a varied style of music, and knows just how to express every single feeling whit just one sentence. Specially I'm in love with a song, called "It Will Rain" . The song is about a relationship in which he is madly in love and would give anything to stay always whit her. Finally, I would tell you to listen songs of bruno mars, because you will feel really identified.
And to finish this entry I would like to thanks Alexandra for helping me see that I was missing a lot. Lyrics:
If you
ever leave me, baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don't have it anymore.
There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin'
Will keep you by my side
And keep you from walkin' out the door.
Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it'll rain, rain, rain [ Lyrics from:
http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bruno+mars/it+will+rain_20984444.html ]
I'll never be your mother's favorite
Your daddy can't even look me in the eye
Oooo if I was in their shoes, I'd be doin' the
same thing
Sayin' there goes my little girl
Walkin' with that troublesome guy
But they're just afraid of something they can't
understand
Oooo but little darlin' watch me change their
minds
Yea for you I'll try I'll try I'll try I'll try
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make you mine

I have been in this city for 3 weeks. It was great staying with my family. One day, my parents celebrated the 25th anniversary of their wedding and we went to a nice restaurant to celebrate. We took plenty of pictures and had a great time.
My cousin Cecilia is my age, so we spent a lot of time together and went to the pool, the beach, the mountains, and shopping too! I like being in San Sebastian but I miss my friends from the school, so I'm always looking forward to come back home.
The beach is very long in Benicassim, and the water is clean and warm so I love sunbathing and swimming in the sea. I could be there for hours and I don't feel cold. My friends from Benicassim live in the same block of flats as me. We go out together, go cycling and sometimes to the cinema or shopping. This year we celebrated my cousin Mei's birthday there, she turned 10 and my sister and I organised a surprise party for her, withballoons and candies. She was really happy.
Before going to San Sebastian I went to Jaca, in the Pyrenees to stay with my uncle and aunt and my cousin Cecilia. We spent one week in their appartment and we went hiking in the mountains. It was hard because I don't like walking much and it was hot. In the afternoon we went to the swimming pool and stayed there for hours. There were many people from Madrid and from Zaragoza and we had a great time!
My parents bought a new house this year, it's a big and beautiful cottagge with a garden and a swimming pool. My friends from La Cañada have been here a lot and they love it. My bedroom is not very big but I have a balcony giving on to the swimming pool, so the view is amazing. And also, I have a dog now. Her name is Noa and she is 6 months old. She is really gentle and loving, she loves running and playing with other dogs. So every time I take her out, I have to take her on a leash because she runs away every time she sees another dog. At first, she slept outside but now she sleps on the first floor where the bedrooms are and I sometimes allow her in my bedroom cause I love to keep her company.
