Never mind how life works. It's been hard work just to set my mind towards love. However, now and then, all seem to be settled down, in order, but two years from now it has been chaos, somehow it is not improving. It is great to do new things with new people, especially when they supply you with new energy. But on the other hand, it could be dangerous.

The rules are simple, no commitment, just having fun and keep it under a sepulcral silence. I don't know where this will take us but for now it is time to enjoy. Hope I don't regret about it later, but for now, just wanna live the moment!

Still praying for a miracle, hoping to get you-know-who back. It's positive there are still feelings at the bottom, but powerful ones. Crossing my fingers.

Pd. note, you-know-who does not refers to voldemort in any way. Just in case, one never knows.

Something about me:

The household I grew up in... is now rented to another family. It was my grandmas' house.

When I was a child I wanted to be... a teacher.

You wouldn't know it but I am very good at... running. The feeling that you can run from everything is amazing and then, the pride and happiness when you reach the goal is something indescribable.

You may not know it but I'm no good at... Sports. Basketball, Voleyball, Tennis even ping pong are difficult for me. Lucky in business, useless at sports.

At night I dream of... Someone who is far away, the other side of the world.

I wish I had never worn... those "candy" look and accesories. That was a crazy stage of my life.

What I see when I look in the mirror... A very smart girl looking back at me.

My favourite item of clothing... Dresses.

It's not fashionable but I like... to sleep with my socks still on.

My favourite building... Empire State, NY. The view is amazing and Manhattan looks so beautiful up there.

A book that changed me... Brida - Paulo Coelho. It remind me of someone who I loved very much and now is not here.

Movie heaven... Finding nemo, it's funny and brilliant.

The last album I bought... Lenny Kravitz, Greatest hits. On iTunes.

My greatest regret... Didn't say I love you when I had the chance because I was too proud to say it.

My secret crush... CBM.

My real-life villain... Social rules, love is ageless.

The last time I cried... Last week. Heard some bad news and I realized it was too late to do something.

My five-year plan... Be strong, brave and continue studying. Give love a chance again.

My life in six words... Nerd, friendly, passionate, avid reader, Idioms lover, no regrets.

I Miss you!

2011-08-07T21:09:00.000-07:00

It's late and I've just realized how much time I use to think about you... The distance that is setting us apart is dark, cold and horrible that makes me feel idle and hopeless about all of this. I wish I could make the time run backwards and have you again by my side, but these are only fantasies that begun since the happy times we lived together. In spite of everything we went through, I have to be honest and admit that those were the happiest times of my life regarding love issues and I regret I never told you that, never expressed those feelings... You know, It's me being so proud to admit it... Nevertheless, in this moment I haven't found the necessary strength to let it go, to turn away and forget because It's the most difficult thing I've ever had to do.

Should I ever go to Russia to find you? it's a crossways decision because, as always, it's full of pro's and con's... You, different from me, already chose a woman. I'm not sure if she's good or bad because I don't know her but it's certain that you are galaxies over me and it makes me feel very sad. In contrast, I haven't been able to find someone to replace you, everybody seem to be so superficial and it's not been easy to date and find someone like you. At this point, Im so depressed to admit that Im not over you.

Well, let the world know that I love you, that if could go back to you I'll do it just right now. Just send me a signal....
Hope to see you soon.

Ain't no love for me...

2011-01-16T20:00:00.000-08:00

Love is though and difficult. it's been a hard way, all along I haven't been satisfied and I always end in something I did not desired. Not so good for a girl who likes everything done in the best way possible, if perfect, much better! Maybe the universe's laws about contrary things have to do something in this, maybe that's why people say that you can be lucky in love or in business but not both ... blah, blah, blah.

There are three main causes of this: let´s use fake names, let´s say; Frederick, Xavier and Manny. Not so good.
Frederick is married and I have a crush on him, Xavier left the country and I never told him how much I loved him and Manny, He's great and I care about him and Im afraid he doesn't care about me as I do for him.
The story of my life. Now it's been weird. Xavier has a new girl in the snow country, Frederick (OMG he's so yummy but he's married so I keep my safety distance) and Manny, he is so weird I dunno if he loves me or not, and he's miles and miles away from me, so I can't ask him directly.

OMG, im confused and sad. I feel lonely. I wish I could have someone by my side to care about me, but unfortunately Im successful but I have no one to share with, this success. I don't want to be like this, in depression for everything. But I don't feel comfortable dating other guys, maybe It's difficult to let go lots of memories and stuff... I wish I could have at least one but I dunno what to do.

Paulo Coelho wrote in his book, brida, that soulmates join for a limited period of time during every stage of the soul lives. Im afraid my time was gone when Xavier left the country, I haven't feel the same since he left. But now it's too late to tell.

Tomorrow sun will shine again in the sky. New adventures, new people.
I've decided I'll go for Manny, he makes me feel brave, no fear of heights or the blue sea (like the song which im listening to right now)... Hope he waits for me, i'll cross my fingers.

See you mates.
Bye

A fast and little update

2011-01-08T20:46:00.000-08:00

Nothing much to say. Tonight it's been a really nice night, OMG I just realized how much I love my family, all of them are amazing. This has given me a lot to think about, Im really going to miss them.

Don't wanna go back to work, wish I could have more time to spend with myself. Not comfortable with my life at the moment, alone, bored, tired... mmmm.... not a good moment, for sure. Anyway, Im just taking it easy while I can get something better. I want my life back, I feel distant from my very self, maybe that's the reason why I feel depressed sometimes and surprisingly, i've discovered this is so good. If you are reading this and you think this is so sad, well, feel free to make your own conclusions.

I really wanna change my work, I am working on getting that new job no matter what it takes. let's wait and see.

On the other hand, I miss you boy. Im so sad I never told you the way I felt about you before. Regrets don' work. Too late.

I think it's enough for today. See you soon. I know it's boring to read all this sh*t.

Night night, sleep tight.

:)

I wish

2011-01-04T21:45:00.000-08:00

Today, my whole life confronted me like a poisoned arrow, the possibility of going through two separate paths and a decision I will have to make. Everything you wish is possible, but what happens when you wish two things that are not possible to be done at the same time and at the same place? ... though decision...

I wish this opportunity like nothing I have desired in my whole life... Nice place, perfect timing, perfect chance. And Im so sure that this is gonna be mine, just mine and no one else's. I want it so bad that nobody is taking that away from me. I know, I just know...

But on the other hand, Im I ever going to see you again Darling? I was hoping to be closer to you, geographically speaking but sadly, I think our moment just ended and there's no more chance to see you again. I loved you with the very deep strenght of my heart and never told ya, so fucking sorry. Now, it's too late. More than late.

Never imagined that my life could turn into this, 2 paths to choose. Nevertheless, Im positive this is gonna end well for me. I've been good and good things happen to good people. Im so sure Im having this, otherwise, I think im going to visit you sometime, while I live in which I've though will be my life prospect in that place.

Oh my gosh, melancholy today, many emotions to handle...

Bad Manners nowadays!

2010-02-02T20:23:00.000-08:00

Nowadays good manners and behaviour had been losing importance making people believe they are less important resulting in decrease for other people respect. In this essay, the causes of this phenomenon are going to be explained and some posible hypotetical solutions will be set.

Since 2000's started, a whole revolution began its progress. Being Open minded is the equivalent of being modern and one active participant of this revolution, so, rules from the past are being modified to make them less compromising and exigent, therefore good manners are being re-evaluated in order to decide wether or not using them. Besides, in these present times, relationships between human beings had evolved into a more relaxed situation in which no Mr, Mrs, Pardon, or else is mandatory, to become optional. Actually, many people agree with this situation but many other think that respect is being lost. Another cause for this could be the new way to raise children into a more free world where barriers are going down and parents are friends and no longer, dictators, making a new atmosphere for interaction. This atmosphere has conducted to a new way and level of respect expression. As a matter of fact, good manners are always important in formal situations because they are demanded for people. It is so sad that they are becoming less valuable because they are really important, especially for showing respect toward someone.

Thinking about some solutions is a very difficult task requiring some quality effort. An interesting idea would be teaching etiquette clases in the schools to make young people think again and consider the importance of a good behaviour when directing to important people and project a good image. In addition to, parents have an important role showing their children how to act respectfully but not overreacting and exagerating. But the most important thing that can be done is that we all people, ask for respect everywhere and whenever, because if people do not ask for it, people will not receive it. Good manners must be required in restaurants, in theathers and public locations just to make life easier. It is a task that everyone must complete just to be sure respect is received in the same way that it is given. Summarizing, the starting point for a solution is everyone reviewing if their good manners are appropiate or innapropiate.

In conclusion, manners are losing importance for the ideas evolution in time but there are lots of things to do to stop this losing of importance. Everyone has the power in their hands to change this situation.

Universities for better jobs or just to benefit the community?

2009-12-21T21:59:00.000-08:00

Society is often discussing whereas universities give graduates better oportunities to find interesting and fulfilling jobs or if universities just benefit the communities with all products of all the studies and research done. In this essay I am going to explain this two sides in their benefits and disdvantages in order to give a conclusion at the end.

Every student after finishing school is supposed to go to the university, to study a bachelor and get a title which will be useful for finding a good job in the future. In fact, going to a university changes human being perspective, giving access to knowledge and transforming that knowledge in discoveries, laws, theories, models and statements that will be useful in the present and the future but also, the students who used these knowledge will be the next scientists, lawyers, economists, doctors of the future, inevitably employed by a hospital, a corporation, a series of scientific laboratories / agencies or enterprises who want to have at their disposition, the best team of professionals they can get, the youngest, the better. In college and university, students develop new points of view not only about the matters of study but also about life. Nowadays, young graduated people dream about having a well paid job in a transnational organization. This will improve their backgrounds and experience in their curriculums. However, sometimes this decision is so radical that students only think about themselves and not in the society. Society will benefit directly of new discoveries that improve life on earth and indirectly, from the actions to improve existing developments in all knowledge areas. Those indirect actions are made in the organizations where all new professionals work. Nevertheless, the world would have not been the same without the level of knowledge and development that started in universities since ancient times. This centers have been an important starting point for life proyects and successful lifes, as well.

In contrast, Universities were created to benefit communities, not only with brilliant graduated students that will spend the rest of their lives working for society but developing new and interesting theories, models and discoveries in all knowledge areas. In world history, vaccines, cures, economic models and art geniuses had emerged from universities research groups helping society getting better every day. People around the world get economical aid for the world development, for making life easier and lowering the cost of living. Actually, human beings are always learning or searching for new knowledge in any good or bad areas, mainly in universities, the point were everything starts. They are really important too and shall not be closed.

In conclusion, universities are good for students but they are also good for society, in both ways society gets benefits that add to the continous benefit of society in all knowledge areas.

TV Advertisements :)

2009-12-13T19:59:00.000-08:00

Everyday thousands of people are exposed to advertisements on television, diferent brands, diferent kinds, a lots of options, advantages and disadvantages of lots of goods and services. This huge amount of information could be useful for the audience or not. In this essay the good and bad points of advertisement on television are going to be discussed, highlighting the relevance of each one.

As frequent customers, people always need to know what are the products and services available in the market every day, so that television advertisement is really useful for guiding people through that search. As soon as a television set is turned on, lots of information is displayed on the screen showing the most modern discoveries that help building people's life. Advertisements are useful to find out how and where things could be bought, a concert or a play will be held, or about a new restaurant opening. Because of these advertisements mankind has learned about new machines for simplifying home chores and work such us, diswashers, Plasma Television sets, blenders and vacuum cleaners. Furthermore, new exciting places to visit for tourism or business are known every day and plans can be made for going there and spend some quality time. For business people such as stakeholders, advertisements are really useful when it comes to analizing a company, because the single fact of having advertisements on television gives the spectator an idea of its economic capability whose owner has, demostrated on the large amount of money spent (because is known that a few minutes on television are usually expensive).

But advertisement is not always a good influence on customer's thoughts. Sometimes, behind advertisements are messages hidden, typically about uncontrolled buying, sex, eating disorders and partying. When people watch commercials about clothes, for example, diesel jeans advertisements are always starred by beautiful and skinny people that not intencionally send messages about being like those models causing eating disorders in teenagers, in various cases advertisements are the starting point of such problems. In addition, people know well that sex is a powerful weapon in advertising, making people believe that through some productos everybody could be successful at dating and having sex. Another effect is making people buy such innecesary things, for example, the kind of things that are selled in televentas, which are expensive and 80% of the times, become unuseful after two or three times of use. Harmful efects of advertisement are present in these days when many psycologists work to include hidden messages in commercials, with no intention of cause damage but causing a parallel effect increasing sales or make popular a new brand of goods.

In conclusion, people should be aware of the information received from advertising on television, using the information for good purposes such as investing, buying, giving presents, comercializing but being alert of these messages, remebering that advertising is a valuable source of information.

Friends vs family, who is more important?

2009-12-13T15:44:00.000-08:00

There is a continuous argument between who is most and less important in people's life, family or friends, taking into consideration the time people spend with them and the influence they have had along a complete and wonderful life. In this essay I am going to explain why they both are important in everyone's existance.

In first place, family is the nucleous of existance and conception of every human being, is where they belong and where everyone finds his own end; as a matter of fact, is the starting point of everything, so analizing these factors, family should be considered most important than friends because they will be there whenever someone need company, support or just a good time. Many people when grow up abandon their home and begin the search for a new apartment or house to establish and settle, that's the point in which sepparation becomes inevitable but is also the point when family evolves into a vital point in life, that is the reason why people always want family by their side on weddings, graduation ceremonies, houses inaugurations, funerals and births, just simply because they are important and needed.

On the other hand, sincere and loyal friends are always needed, especially when you want to keep a secret safe from the family or society. besides, friend's oppinions are really important when making an important decision such as changes in current employment, travelling abroad or decide to get married and that is a result of knowing a friend for a long time and contemporary points of view. Furthermore, friends are always reliable when you want to talk about some private things that probably someone would not tell his parents or siblings and if someone is capable of keeping a secret safe, then is trustworthy in consecuence, is a good friend. In addition, is also valuable the fact of sharing time and things with contemporary people to learn and enjoy the happy and sad things that happen in everyone's life.

In conclusion, family is more important than friends because family is the point in which everything starts and ends, finally all that someone has inconditionally in life is family whereas friends come and go along people's life. Nevertheless, family members can become reliable true friends in order to have the benefits of the two sides!

Is it any wonder?

2009-09-17T11:33:00.001-07:00

Well, I am not a romantic writer, but I thought writing a love sotory would help me to be less agressive and less extremist at the time of writing, so this is my first time doing this ('cause I hate standard romantic stereotypes stories), so judge yourselves!

Is It Any Wonder?

And that was it, loneliness and emptiness. Where was everybody?, she continued running towards the blue light in front of her without reaching it. Where are you??? - Taneeka screamed in a desperately attempt of reaching anyone's attention, but still there were no response, she tried to look further but the blue light was getting dimmer so she could see shadows but she did not recognize forms, so at that time she felt frustrated and tired, however, in the distance she could recognize him with his clearly thin and tall shape and she called him aloud ¡William, william! but surprisingly he pretended that he was not hearing, so he sprinted and dissapeared of her sight. Taneeka had no choice to continue running before the blue light vanished, so she ran and ran till she fainted.

She awoke in her bedroom floor covered in lots of sweat and one of her covers, that was just a dream but what a exact dream because it reflected how lonely she felt those days and how depressed, she tought it was not a coincidence... Her life was a mess those days, precisely when the competence was near and she was practicing everyday without improving her abilities with the sword and his teacher was pushing her so hard, she was becoming desperate but on the other hand, the more time she spent working out and practicing, the less time she had to spend on herself, her friends and family. Anyway she was not sad about that lack of quality time, because she loved doing fencing and she did not care about the mandatory time otherwise she had told his rich busy father to fire the fencing teacher in order to avoid another anoying fencing instruction, but no, that was not the problem, Instead of, Taneeka was completely in love with William, her fencing teacher, a 35 year old athlete who was hired by her dad to give her anything to think about instead boys and expensive shopping. William was the only and the principal Taneeka problem.

Taneeka met William one June evening, it was sunny and she was enthusiastic about fencing, she was told that used to be the King's favourite sport in the past because it developed interesting qualities such as agility, intelligence, grace and force, she was thinking about that and looking no specific point when a pair of stunning blue eyes encountered with hers, making feel her so nervous but also kind of excited, so she continued looking and there was William, Tall, Thin, pale as the white face of the moon, blond straight hair, big hands and a perfect nose; although he was 35 years old, he didn't look so old, a sharp spectator would say that he was handsome on his way but not enough to be a soap opera star, and that was really good tought Taneeka as soon as she woke up of her pointless wondering. Hi! I am Tanneeka Kendrows, your new student, nice to meet you but William just said Hi, My name's William, lets go and dress up for practicing... Definitely it was a day to remember, the coldness of the moment, the impressions of Taneeka, the climate involving them and the beggining of her new life.

Practice, championships and tournaments was all she was involved into besides school, but she used that as a distraction of her broken and unsucessful family (her mom and dad used to fight all the time so that she become ignored and invisible) and a haven to share with William, Mr Dreamy as she called him sectretly. William was always willing to help Taneeka, he was kind and nice but in contrast, he was shy and it was really difficult to guess what he was feeling or thinking, he didn't show emotions easily. As the time went by, William and Taneeka constructed a nice relationship but Taneeka was also trying to seduce him, when they were not practicing, she dressed up very nice with such beautiful clothes and tried to invite him to eat something, dance but nothing happened because William did not acept so that Taneeka was getting frustrated; but one day the twist of fate played in favour of Taneeka when her Dad gave a big party were William was invited, That night he danced with Taneeka who persuaded him to drink french champaign until he acepted to dance, they started dancing in the darkness of the ballroom and Taneeka realized he was not a good dancer but she tried to lead and take him to a pleasant dance whilst she was thinking she was too young to be in love with William, he was 35!! matematically, that was 12 years breach between them but she wanted him so bad because she haven't known anyone like him, from the other side of the world, so serious, so profesional and suddenly she awoke of the dreaming and saw William dancing, embracing her so strong so she seeked his lips and gave him one of those surprise kisses: fast, furious, passionate that he become breathless but he cointinued kissing her, it looked like he desired her too... who hoo! Taneeka was so happy that she took his hand and conducted William to her room, locked the door up, and they made love until sunset when they fall asleep.

Loneliness and emptiness, that was the dream again. Taneeka ran towards the light seeking for William but she fainted before she found him and woke up. Where are you baby?, there was no response, she called again William, are you here? where are you? there was nobody else in the room but her and the silence, she put her PJ and ran downstairs to find that his dad fired William. How come? Well, his Dad saw everything last night, let them enjoy and then William was fired, in a plane back to his country. Poor Taneeka, she lost her beloved teacher. His dad told her Taneeka is it any wonder? I was right when I imagined that this was supposed to happen but I don't like my little girl to be with such a standard man, I want you to marry a rich man, one of my friend's sons. When Taneeka heard this started to cry and went to her room and wrote this letter:

Dear Dad:

I don't want to continue with this boring life, mom and you don't care about me, the only one who did it was William, he was the only one that was there in my competitions, so Im going to look for the love of my life. Is it any wonder that i want to love anyone older than me?

If you want to hate me because of this, ok you are allowed to do that.

Ciao

Well, Is it any wonder that Taneeka never saw William again? she found a new coach, James, 25 year old, she married him and had one boy named William in his honour. She looked for William in every corner of his country but she didn't found him because he had a wife and kids and William was not his real name, it was Ferbin Choubris, a 35 year old who only wanted to have sex with his pupil.

Is it any wonder that the story is not romantic at all? It is for real, this story could have a happy ending betwween Taneeka and William.

Hope you liked it, Im looking forward to your comments.

Bye :)

Let's do Colombia!

2009-09-05T22:25:00.000-07:00

One day, I was told that in www.youtube.com five funny videos about an australian guy in Colombia were published and I decided to watch them because i like comedy and I love to laugh everytime but I have to say I was really surprised by the things he filmed with his camera because there are common things for us that he found funny and interesting and I am talking about tejo, salsa dancing and mimes! actually, in my opinion this guy is an idiot but I can not deny that I enjoyed a lot with these videos.

So I am going to explain you what these videos are about, talking about them one by one:

1. Let's do Colombia Trailer:

I have to say that the trailer shows lots of funny images about him (his name is Tommo and he is from tumbarumba in AUS, I think that place does not exist because it sounds weird) and some interesting places in Bogota and people that can be found in those places. About the music, I don't know the name of this song but it is really great and it puts a dosis of energy to this trailer and Tommo apear dancing and he dances soooo funny OMG! hahahahahhaahhahaha.

2. Salsa Dancing Lessons:

It is the first day of Tommo in Colombia, He arrives in a fake airport called the "colombian airporto" and then he goes to a salsa dancing academy where is met by a woman who is the salsa teacher but she has been a salsa dancer for many years. It is really nice to see that she is so kind and she speaks in spanish (but the english translation is rubbish!) saying hi to people in Australia. Then, he has lessons but he has a lack of grace for dancing and he does awful unless he learnt the basic moves; afterwards he decided to go to a salsa club to practice, there he got a piece of paper with the word "Bailamos?" on it, after many beers and tries he finally found some girl to dance with, it is soooo funny, you must see this!!

3. Buying and selling rubbish:

I Could not watch this video because someone complaint about it, something about copyright so the audio was desactivated :( It looked good.

4. Mimes:

Tommo is at 7th avenue next to Banco de la republica and he met two mimes: a girl and a man, so they taught him how to be a mime and ask for some tips, by the way, he actually perform this acting basics! hahahahhaha he looks terrible dressed in black with a white face (more white than it is without painting) and he did so bad!

5. Tejo - Tayho (this is the way this word is pronounced in AUS english)

See how is Tommo defeated by a 8 year old girl in an exciting tayho (tejo) match and the techniques he learned from a guy at a Tejo ground, he did really awful but better than me, for sure!

6. Cricket:

Tommo went to a park and taught little children to play cricket, an unknown sport for Colombian people but he gets his way when he makes the children to repeat awful things like "I smell like donkey shit" and they do not even know what they are saying. After teaching them the basic rules of cricket, the game starts and I have to say Tommo is such a fool who does not know how to play ina fair way because all points went to AUS team and for Colombian team were zero points. This video is also about Tommo saying good bye to colombia and he finally explain what he learned from this trip to Colombia.

Well to watch this videos you must enter http://www.youtube.com/ on your internet navigator and search for Let's do Colombia.

See you soon!

My own flat!

2009-09-05T20:13:00.000-07:00

In the next three years I would like to buy muy own flat, that is something I have dreamed of since I was a little child instead of dreaming about castles and pink horses and I am wishing to have it with all the strong desires of my heart because it represents my independence and the starting point of a life on my very own, so it means a lot to me.

I would like to have a big flat located in an important city in AUS, like Melbourne or Sydney because in my opinion, in a big city people are able to have everything they need just by lifting their phones or walking for a little, instead of living in a town where some services could be restricted like internet, medical specialized services and this is not an advantage for me, so I decided my flat has to be located in a big city; furthermore it has to be very big in order to have some space to have a pet, a nice bedroom and a beautiful living room, I believe i will need 150 square meters for my apartment (for the inside) and i will be happy if I can get 20 square meters for a tiny but cozy terrace, with two chairs, a coffe table and one umbrella, Could you imagine? It would be so fantastic!

Talking about the inside, I definitely would decorate it with a minimalistic style, using just one color furniture, metal accesories (like vases, lamps and tables) and abstract paintings but I will make it cozier adding some carpets, pillows and bright colors for my courtains and furniture, and for my bedroom I will choose a king size bed (because I move a lot during the night while I am sleeping) with a nice blanket. in adittion to this, I would not put so much energy decorating the kitchen because I dont like to cook too much so i dont mind if my kitchen is full of colors and art, the only condition to it is the entrance of light, which must be powerful because a dark kitchen looks like an ugly dungeon.

My pet, for sure would be a black cat with green or blue eyes named Simon or Crookshanks if it is a boy, or miel if its a Girl; I have to say I love cats because they are the perfect company for anyone, they are clean, indepent and they really care about their masters and most important, you do not have to spend lots of money to take care of them when you buy great ammounts of food and scoopable sand that last for three or four months.

Summarizing, I would like to have a big flat located in an important city or state capital and it has to be situated in a high floor like the 8th to 12th to have a great view that I could see often when i need to relax and let my mind travel away, my cat would live with me and my flat would be stilished using a minimalistic style with a graceful mixture of colours.

I would like to invite you there when i have it ready!! feel yourselves welcome! :)

The actual increase in cultures similarity

2009-09-03T05:53:00.000-07:00

In yesteryear times, travelling to a foreign country was all about excitement because of different cultures, people and places to go sightseeing but nowadays world has been changing constantly, so that, cultures are sharing common features brought by Globalization process and it's consequence is the fact that cultures are becoming similar worldwide, losing the esential estructure to adapt new ones. This whole process have advantages and disadvantages and these are going to be analized further in this essay.

The nucleus of a culture is the identity of it's people and customs and that are the main caracteristics to recognize a culture around the world. A well stablish culture is based on customs that have prevailed for a great number of generations which are shown to the world in order to identify themselves and being different from others, it is what every culture owns, their legacy and knowledge. It is really hard to know that these fundamentals are partially being lost because these days world is sorrounded by the Globalization phenomenon that take down barriers between countries and allows more interaction between people from many points of the world and this is causing an adoption of customs from other countries, celebrating holidays that does not belong to the country legacy and invaiding the markets with products from anywhere someone could think of. Another consequence is the invasion of the political and developing space of the countries; for example in Colombia, due to massive agrements (political, economical and cultural), presidents of the near-by countries (Venezuela, Ecuador, Argentina) are feeling free to critisize the decisions made inside Colombia without any respect at all, going against the principles and customs that Colombia has and uses and this is properly seen by the world because within Globalization, there is no barriers at all, nor economic, nor political, nor social so the commentaries have to be accepted.

But this cultures similarity is not too bad at all because it is a great achievement that people from the south of the globe know the customs from the people of the globe's north. An important tool that has participated actively in this process is Internet, where people can know everything from any country at any time and for learning or fun purposes, it is good as well; this tool is showing society that sharing knowledge, customs and opinions is one of the obligations for all world citizens because people are organized in different countries but above this, there is a worldwide community that enjoy when its members share and become united; for example, is good to see how many singers from different countries gave charity concerts to raise money for starving people in Africa. Cultures similarity is increasing and it is good to see that we can communicate anywhere with a mutual language that is english, that we have rock stars we all love and the agreements signed by the presidents of all the countries to cooperate and integrate with other ones, because when going to a foreign country, people are noticed of what to find and how to behave. In my opinion, it is really important to integrate with another countries not only for economical benefits but also for knowing more cultures and built everyone an scale to wisdom.

In conclusion, cultures similarity is an important process where all citizens from all over the world are allowed to share and give knowledge, to meet new people and be united for lots of processes that generate benefits in any area but it has to be done within the principles of respect, unity and Law understanding to avoid disrespectful and invasive behaviours that affect every country culture and values.

Why Prenuptial Agreement may be a smart option for women!

2009-09-01T18:54:00.000-07:00

Reading the same titled article at http://www.guardian.co.uk/ I have to say this is the kind of articles I like to read because women are gaining more power these days and this is a good example!

All Women know in the very deep of our hearts that true love is not a fairy tale, may be it won't last for ever so Prenuptial Agreements are a good way to protect our wealths because all marriages that end in divorces cause mainly, financial crisis for anyone and financial advantages for the other one. I would like to speak my mind about this, just to say that this is a crucial law agreement because, in first place you will be sure if your future husband loves you sincerely, instead of loving the money you own and secondly, the wealth that we have been working so hard for years will be protected and just for us only!!!

But being in the other one shoes will be a very tough situation, because this agreement will mean the possibility to end marriage in any moment, not to go further, it will be so hard to know that the person you love and are going to marry is actually thinking about divorce and finance before the ceremony and honey moon! that will be such a realm when it comes to think about forever marriage and forever love (That is what we usually think about when we are happily in love whishing to go to the althar and say Yes, I do), but it is a pity to admit that all these we have been talking about is true.

If I have to make this decision, I would say YES, completely... the man who wants to marry me will have to sign a prenuptial agreement, I am not rich but I would like to protect the equity I have and has been the product of hard work and intelligent thinking. In addition to this, Women have become powerful these days so we have to use it reasonably to protect ourselves.

For anyone who is reading this and maybe does not agree with this, I respect that, this is just my point of view and the product of the way that I was raised!

What do you think girls? do you agree or disagree?

Good Night!

My review on the movie "The Hangover"

2009-09-01T03:53:00.001-07:00

I went to the movies last saturday to watch this movie and in my opinion if I had to rate it I will give it five stars!!

It is a comedy movie based on a story about four friends that go to Vegas in order to give one of them (doug), a big party two day before he gets married, so they made a reservation at Caesar's palace Hotel & Casino and rent a fancy suite, then they went out to party. Later, when the wake up they don't remember anything happened last night and, for their surprise, Doug (the guy who was given this party) is missing and they do not remember where he is and he is actually, going to get married in 24 hours!!

When you watch this movie it is remarkable that you are going to laugh from the beggining to the end, because the situations these guys are involved are just crazier as the movie goes on and on and the characters are well designed, the one who impressed me the most was Alan because he was totally a freak, saying things that were completely out of context and having the most wierd ideas in this world, but he give spectators a big surprise at the end, showing his high level of intelligence.

Definitely, I recommend this movie 100%; if you know me personally, you will know I am being sincere about this... I Love laughing and I spent two great hours laughing at this movie!!! Something I have to aware you of is about the lack of popular actors/stars, but this is not a problem because actors and actresses perform really good and they keep the audience interested in the story the whole two hours!

In conclusion, I got to say this movie is Awesome for people who like comedy and good films and the money you spend on it will be so much worth!

Bye Everyone!!!

My first Entry

2009-08-31T19:44:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone!

Feel yourself welcome to my blog!!

I have decided to write in this blog just for fun but also, to improve my English!! ... Once, Kmi told me that I was a high level student but I realized (since i am stuying at BC) that I'm not that good

So I decided to write an entry everyday of any topic that comes to my mind, I think is a great exercise, pls if you have some comments, just feel free to let me know

As an introduction, I would like to present myself:

Im a normal woman in a big world! Im really short (I wish I could be 10 inches taller, but I think is impossible) and I live a quiet life, I am really proud of myself because I am not a quitter because I do not give up easily... It is not a secret that I prefer to go to a five star hotel rather than go camping (ewwwww) hahaha, so I can not consider myself as a simple person.

I love my family more than anyone in this world, they are my guiding light, especially my dad who has always been soooo supportive! But my mom and sis are just important as he is! and there is my little baby cat, she is fantastic, my first allowed pet! I love her soooo much she is 7 months old but looks like a one year old cat because she is so big.

I like being surrounded by friends, my best friend is Marisela C. I met her when i began my career at University! She is really outgoing and Caro U, she's a good friend too and she gives amazing advices... We liked to laugh aloud in class (that gave us so much trouble with teachers) and nowadays, we still do that, but not in class, outdoors! and there are my friends from the office and gym!

I love reading, listening to music, hang out with friends and have lunch/dinner at fancy restaurants! I like to work out but i Hate sports, sooo muchhhhh, so i go to the gym... I like internet and msn :) I think it is interesting...

finally, I got to say welcome, this was a boring entry about me, come visit me soon!
