DoodLes.

A doodle is an unfocused drawing made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied. Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be abstract.
Stereotypical examples of doodling are found in school notebooks, often in the margins, drawn by students daydreaming terest during class. Other common examples of doodling are produced during long telephone conversations if  a pen and paper are available.
Popular kinds of doodles include cartoon versions of teachers or companions in a school, famous TV or comic characters, invented fictional beings, landscapes, geometric shapes and patterns, textures, banners with legends, and animations made by drawing a scene sequence in various pages of a book or notebook.

SUPERSTITIONS MINDS.

Every country has superstitions. Some are universal, but some vary. In Britain for example a black cat is lucky, but in most of Europe it is very unlucky. But, where do all these superstitions come from and what do they mean?Here are some examples.


A ladder leaning against a wall forms the shape of a triangle with the wall and the ground. In Christianity the triangle represents the trinity. People thought it was bad luck to 'break' the perfection of the triangle by walking under the ladder. More rational people think it is dangerous to walk under a ladder, because if you do, something might fall on your head!


The four-leaf clover is a universal symbol of good luck, probably because it is very rare. A lot of people think that four is a lucky number because in Christianity four is the number of the gospels in the Bible.




Farmers think that ladybirds bring good luck because, thousands of years ago, it was a sign of future good weather: good weather helps plants to grow which means people will have more to eat. So if you see a ladybird you might be fortunate and prosperous in the future.

My holidays :)

This summer has been different from the others; even is mast of summer I stayed in Mondragone, the second week of July I went to Saint Mary, near Caserta and I stayed at my cousin's house. Then I came back to Mondragone. In the afternoons I went to the sea or I stayed on facebook, while in the evenings I went out with my friends. One day a wees we did a big dinner at my friend's house,and we enjoined ourselves. However I had new experiences and I met new people..And now I also have new friends. I hope that next summer I'll go out from Italy. because it's always beautiful to visit new places and meet new people, with different culture and different type of life. It's almost a week that school is begun, but I already miss summer.

About money.

With money you can buy a house, but not a home.
With money you can buy a clock, but not time.
With money you can buy a bed, but not sleep.
With money you can buy a book, but not knowledge.
With money you can see a doctor, but not good.
With money you can buy a position, but not respect.
With money you can buy a blood, but not life.
With money you can buy sex, but not love.
