I literally cried when i saw this pictures, we go around the world mostly feeling sad or rage for the tragedies we hear and see everyday, we are being bombarded by images of war, murders, drug and corruptness, we live in a world where we start to get disconnected from all that pain, simply to save ourselves as human beings into turning mad.
Can you all tell me what you felt with the first Juarez woman victim, or with the first horrible war picture you saw?? At first we were horrorized and traumatized, but with the second, the third, and more, we have started to become apathetic, we distance ourselves and start to respond without a care anymore, losing faith in our humanity. But a simple post like this, has made me at least for a moment believe again in us, in the hearts and compassion of the brothers and friends that surround us, because at the end, that is all we are, soul and mind, for we leave with nothing but the mark and love we have left in this world. So don't lose hope in respect, in compassion, in friendship, in love, we are humans, let us be humans and enjoy that humanity.
Hope you enjoy this pictures as much as i did, and for a little while let yourselves believe again :D

GUILTY PLEASURES
Hey everybody! who doesn't have guilty pleasures?!, those geeky, cheesy, weird, or simply not worldly known tastes, that make us crave for more and secretly enjoy what we know no one else is popularly following.
Well i come here today with a little bit of a confession, well not so much of a confession, for i am not one to hide my pleasures, or even to find them really, truly guilty, i just call them that because some people think that is what they are for me, since they are so rare or recognized, at least in some social groups, but still guilty for they are what i proudly enjoy as a unique personal taste.
My guilty pleasure today, is nonetheless as i assure many have them too, a soap opera, but not just any soap opera, it is Cris Morena's Argentinian soap operas. Personally, this woman is a great producer, director and writer, she is the one that has brought joy and hope to millions of children, teens, and even adults with her work. She includes in her content not just romance or drama like most soap operas, but also a mixture of great characters that take you by the hand on a journey of self discovery, music and epic stories with social messages, like Casi Angeles or Alma Pirata, with transcending time lines, and apocalyptic governments. She has created a family within her coworkers and she is faithful to her actors, some of them have even grown up into adulthood by her side.
She has grown artistically since her first work with Chiquititas till her last with Casi Angeles, where she said a melancholic goodbye, after enduring her daughter's death and what she said to be "the ending of her inspiration".
Israel, Spain, Mexico and of course Argentina, as the main consumers of her work, responded her goodbye with sadness in their hearts, but her creations still endure, and within them some of my greatest guilty pleasures.
Don't miss them for I assure you, they will lighten your heart and take you back where childhood dreams are still alive :)!!
* I apologize for the trailers are in Spanish, Argentina's native language, but you can also find the subtitled series on line.
If they seem attractive, you can find all of Cris Morena's work in her official page, www.crismorenagroup.com.ar/.

More of the classics....
Hey everybody!! As I promised, I return once again with more of our beloved classics, this time with one that takes us directly to our childhoods, a classic that gave us music, dancing, profound and complicated characters, and a series of inspired movies, musicals like "Wicked" and more, I am talking about "The wonderful wizard of Oz".
It all began on 1939 when an amazing actress like Judy Garland jumped to fame with the role of her life, in a movie that amazed people with its colors, makeup and effects, giving the audience the opportunity to travel to a magical land along Dorothy and Toto. A movie that not also followed truthfully the literature work of L.Frank Baum, but that also took elements of the American society of that era and included them all over it. If you study profoundly and compare the situation of the United States of the 1930's and that of the movie, you can encounter various symbolisms along the film, some of them are in its characters, like the tin man, you can tell that the industrial workers are reflected in him, men that worked for the great need of doing it, but that lacked heart at it as the machines took over in a new industrial revolution, or the scarecrow, another of the beloved characters, representing the farmers as brainless honest men who worked for a bigger meaner boss.
To sum it all up, it is a film that arrived to revolutionize a massive audience, and that still continues to be a renowned classic, for all the social, creative, musical and innovative elements it portrays.
And now coming soon in 2013, by the hand of Sam Raimi, the creator of another fantasy world, Spiderman and Spiderman 2, comes "Oz, the great and powerful", inspired on the story before the events of the 1939 film and the original book. When Oscar Diggs a small circus magician with dubious ethics, played by our very own enigmatic and sexy man James Franco, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of us, where he will meet, the witches Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams).
So if all of you Oz fans want to remember your childhoods and once again travel to the land of Oz, this time i most say with a very sexy and beautiful group of people, i invite you to wait with great expectation and excitement for what it seems another great work of art.I leave to you all my second classics trailer ;) hope you enjoy!!

Classics reborn....
In a culture where we tend to love and admire with all our hearts when we see something we really like, classics are born, culture is nurtured and fans are reinforced.
We have classics in literature and movies, pieces of art, that make us find an even greater sense in life, make us want to be better, and give us hope and joy.
Classics are a form of life, and they are for sure a part of every one of us.
During history, books have been there to open minds, and later on movies inspired by those have made fans finally get the chance to visualize their own minds and imaginations in the big screen. I know all of you have stories and characters that you hold close to your heart, and the great thing is that some of those stories are coming to life again, expecting to amaze us once again in theaters this year.
Since i absolutely love all of this remakes, i will continue to share with you the trailers of this upcoming great stories, that have made a fan of all of us.
THE GREAT GATSBY
A story full of life and color, in a society where parties ruled the scene, and fashion with a good cocktail never seemed to be missing. For all those great Fitzgerald fans, Baz Luhrman has arrived once more with a world of wonder and beauty, all those who love Moulin Rouge, a good society vendetta and well of course Leonardo Dicaprio, will fall in love with what seems to be an awesome movie.
We can't wait for it to be Summer 2013!!

From the bottom of my heart
Hey fellow readers!, I am so sorry I haven't been able to write another entry sooner, but I am hoping that all of you have been enjoying your summer to the fullest!!!
I wanted to finish this summer, sharing with you all a very special tribute I wrote to the best man I've ever known, my hero, my teacher, my mentor, a man i will always admire, respect and most of all love, my dad.
Everyone has to carry with a heavy weight during our lives, well mine is the recent loss of my dad, but as the time has passed, I have come to understand not every weight has to be carried with sorrow or pain, it can also be carried with love and admiration, because I know my dad still lives within me, and it is my purpose from now on, to carry him in my heart with my head held up high, making him proud with every decision and action I get to perform for the rest of my life. Therefore, with great pride and love, I share this piece of myself with all of you kind readers, because if you knew my dad, you can all agree he was the hero I am talking about, and well if you didn't I am sure each and every one of you have a personal hero close to your heart.
Thank you for letting me share this with you all, and i apologize with all my international friends, for it is in Spanish, the language i shared with my dad.
With love, for the best man i will ever meet.

¿QUÉ
ES UN HEROE?
Un héroe puede ser el que tenga gloria
eterna, aquel héroe inalcanzable y misterioso que su nombre, por hazañas como la
guerra queda en la boca de las personas, pero no es un verdadero héroe, un
héroe es aquel con habilidades extraordinarias, no habilidades que lo hagan un
dios o un superhéroe, sino características humanas que sean admirables, como la
capacidad de amar antes que todo, la fortaleza de mantener en sus espaldas a
toda a una familia, amigos, compañeros de trabajo, con una sabiduría intelectual,
que lo hace reconocer entre los miles, un jefe que sabe ser líder con compasión
y templanza, un hombre humano con el poder de entendimiento del mundo que lo
rodea, con la inteligencia para tomar las decisiones mas difíciles con la
seguridad y firmeza necesaria, y en especial aquel hombre que sabe disfrutar de
la vida, amar y agradecer lo que día a día se le presenta, y es con todos estos
rasgos extraordinarios, que comprendí que es un héroe, por dios lo había tenido
en mis narices todo el tiempo, un verdadero héroe, es mi padre.
Mi padre es Superman, mi padre es Perseo,
mi padre es mejor que Aquiles, mejor que cualquier héroe que ha pisado la
tierra, si, si, yo sé que van a decir, que exagerada niña, pero por dios como
no puedo decir aquello, si mi padre me ha demostrado desde el día que nací, que
la vida es bella, que las acciones deben ser tomadas con sabiduría, que el poder
conlleva responsabilidad, que el trabajo se tiene que tomar con pasión y en
especial que la familia es lo mas importante. Un hombre como este no se
encuentra en cualquier lado, una persona que sabe equilibrar la familia, los
amigos y el trabajo con el mismo éxito, es un hombre que verdaderamente es
único, es un verdadero guerrero y rey de nuestra realidad.
