Homecoming (Season 1, ep. 1-10)


I watched the series Homecoming, starring by Julia Roberts. 

Lately I have been reading fantasy stories and I wanted to change the subject. I chose Homecoming because I didn't feel like to start a long story.

January's Speaking Corner


Although I went with my friend Mary to the January's Speaking Corner, she eventually couldn't to stay because the system registration hadn't worked well. There were too many students waiting for a place.

She went home, but our teacher allowed all other students to enter. He said to us that was his last Speaking Corner because he is going to be the teacher of a special course.

Miku Expo. Let's Paint 2.0.


I participated in the Official Workshop of Hatsune Miku with her Japanese technical team at the Gokuraku store. I met them before the event and we spoke a little. Fortunately, they speak English. So I could understand their explanations to paint my own Miku and to share it with the world.


If you wanted to try the application, you might access this link: paint.mikuexpo.com. It is very easy to use.

Carnival Row (Season 1, ep. 1-8)


I'm watching Carnival Row, an Amazon Original series starring Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne.

I usually read books on my train journeys, but for several weeks now we have Amazon Prime Video at home and I thought I could take advantage of it.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets



As last weeks my children have been watching Harry Potter's movies, I felt like reading another book by JK Rowling. I borrowed Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets at the EOI's library.
