Music and me

Music...In my case it's very complex if I talk about music. First of all, for me music is one of the most important things on my life, it has been on my side since I was 10 and always I'm with it. I think music is my friend, my medicine in cloudy days, my bodyguard when I feel unsafe or insecure, when I need a little advice. It's one of the cornerstones of my whole life, sometimes is my drug when I'm playing music and I feel that I'm in other galaxy or it's my buddy in every moment of the day. It cheers me everyday and helps me to begin a new day with a smile, It's my shadow in that gloomy and sad moments when I'm looking at the sky. It isn't just mixed sounds o a mixture of different musical instruments. Music has a deep meaning for me.

I like all kind of music and I had listen many music genres before, the only exception is Latin music, I really hate it, definitely is not my cup of tea. My favorite music is Japanese music. But why?. Well it's simple, I really love all things related to Japanese culture since I was a child because my childhood was plenty of Japanese things, even when I tried and listened to a lot of different music...finally I realize that Japanese music just catched me and it would never let me go!. Maybe it's something crazy because people prefer to listen spanish or english music. But I not, for me it's a very interesting and amazing kind of music, very different with the occidental one...especially my favourite band: AN CAFE, a Japanese band who started as a Oshare Kei band but then, when a very special member left the band, with two new members they evolved their music style and finally they called it "Harajuku Dance Rock". In my opinion this band had a very catchy music style and for me, it's something really amazing!

This is one of my favourite songs. You will be able to understand it because it has english subs. =P
Enjoy it ^^!

Bilingualism

   Well...Bilingualism. I think that it's a very interesting topic to talk about, I mean, being able to talk or communicate ideas in more than one language fluently is something very special and it's something that not many people can do. I'm not sure if we can talk about "Bilingualism" when a person just tries to speak in another language. For me it's more than that, eg: I don't consider myself a bilingual person (Although I have knowledge of English and Japanese languages), A bilingual person for me is someone who knows two languages perfectly or at least with a 95% accuracy.

   Bilingualism also it's a very useful tool today. You can have a lot of oportunities around the world if you dominate two or more languages, I mean, it's something extremely useful at work, or you can meet people of a lot of places if you want, you can use this skill just for communication or with your hobbies. I'd like that all people around the world could be bilingual or multilingual. That would be definetely amazing!.

Writing

    Well. I'm not a fan of writing but sometimes I like to write things. I think something and I write it. Obiously in Spanish becasuse writing in my mother tongue is easier for me (I can express clearly a lot of ideas coming out my mind). But if I think about writing in English, it's different. I take the fact that is more difficult and I have some limitations, I mean, sometimes I can't write the same thing that I'm thinking because of vocabulary or grammar things. So I have to change some words or even the whole idea for a simmilar one, if that doesn't work I use a dictionary but that is disgusting. I would like to write better in English because seems interesting sometimes, I know that I have a lot of things to learn but I will do my best.
