A TV show I am going to talk about first is Candy.


I started watching it as a child from about 8 years old. I remember both my sisters loved it so I just sat with them and it was all good. It is about this blond girl with very big (not surprising now!) green eyes. I remember it was a very dramatic Japanese Anime. “Candy” was an orphan girl who was adopted and treated badly. Moreover she falls in love with this amazingly handsome character “Anthony” (I fell in love, too!) and he dies!! Yes, he dies!! I suffered so much.  Later she moves to London and meets “Terri” who is the opposite of Anthony (the latter is rebellious). The thing is this love is not meant to be and they keep splitting because he wants to become an actor.
I think it was on every evening for around half an hour.
I suppose I enjoyed it because it was full of adventures and things seemed pretty exciting, but mostly because I would sit there with my sisters and we would drink our milk and eat toast on those evenings while watching the show. I couldn’t wait for the next day to come. Just to watch it again! I know it is very "ñoño" to write about this but I couldn't think of anything apart from "erase una vez el hombre" which seemed a bit serious for children...
What about you?

Write about a TV programme you enjoyed watching when you were a child:
Say:
What it was called,
What it was about,
When it was on,
Why you enjoyed it.
Mention anything else you think is important. Write at least 220 words.
Leave a comment on your classmates' blogs.

2013.
What about it?
Has it been a good year so far? Hard answer but, I think so.  It started very hectic (as usual!) with essays to submit in February in the UK. After that very stressful period, I had a good ten-day vacation with my family (which is always nice) in Uruguay and a couple of days at the beach here. After that, I can say it has been a pretty good year. I have had a lot of work (especially in the area of studies) I somehow fell behind with my studies in April and found it really difficult to catch up. I suppose that is something that definitely didn’t go well. Therefore, I was very stressed in August and September but after that it has been good. I have started reading more novels, playing the guitar a little (this is something I should do more!), listening to more music and watching a lot more movies. I suppose my biggest achievements have been spiritual because I have done more meditation and yoga. That really makes me happy. Bit to highlight, a trip to Machu Picchu in October, which was beautiful. I had been there in 2000 but now I visited Cusco with my mother and I really enjoyed that. I am sure she did too and that really made me happy. I have enjoyed my work as I normally do. So all in all 2013 has been a good year so far.
What about you?
