Magazine: NUMBER 7

Last day I rode the magazine number 7.



My world: Boiled eggs
They've created eggs with a logo made with invisible ink. The ink becomes black when the egg is ready. I think it's a very useful invention! haha


Cinema: 27 dresses
This is a fim about a woman, Jane, who's a bridesmaid. She's secretly in love with her boss, but when he decides to marry Jane's sister, Jane tries to stop being a bridesmaid and try to become a bride. I haven't watched it, but I think it's a very nice film.


Music: Dido
After 20 million albums sold, the British pop singer is back with a new album.


People: Eva Longoria
She's a very famous Mexican-American actress. She plays the beautiful ex-model in Desperate Housewives. She has played in 5 films: Over her dead body, the hearthbreak kid, Harsh times, The sentinel and Desperate Housewives.


Crazy: Fun paper shredders
It's machine which destroys paper. So if you have letter that you don't want your parents to read it's very useful. I think it's very funny, because it's in the form of a frog or a cow.


Report: Britain's young photographers
Every year they organize a compatition for young people o take photos of animals. There are different categories: 12-18 age category, pets category and under 12 age category. I think it's a really nice idea.
