Kahlo a.k.a queen

So today I'm gonna write about the best mexican ever, she's like my idk, i just love her so much, here's Frida Kahlo.

Frida Kahlo is one of the greatest Mexican artists. Born in Coyoacán , Mexico on July 6, 1907. Her husband was Diego Rivera and they I lived in a blue house. 

When he was 5 years old suffered a very serious disease called polio, Frida survived, but one of his legs became very weak , shorter and thinner than the other.

His father was a photographer and artist and always had a very deep relationship with Frida. He spoke about the ancient art of Mexico , about architecture and taught him to use the camera. This was central to the art she would later.

Frida grew during the Mexican Revolution, which influenced not only her life but her art. At age 18, Frida had a terrible accident. The bus he was traveling in was hit by a tram. She suffered several broken bones and severe injuries to his back. After the accident, Frida had to be lying motionless for many months and this is where he began to paint .

"I tried to drown my demons, but they learned to swim."

She made several portraits of family and friends, but especially painted herself surrounded by things that were important to her, and that caused her pain.

After the Mexican Revolution the new government hired artists to paint several large murals on the walls of public buildings. They painted the history of Mexico for people to feel proud of their culture and their past.

That time was very difficult for Frida became pregnant several times and lost their babies, she wanted to return to their homeland and not Diego. Then decided to return and was separated from him for some time, but eventually got back together. By this time her work had become as famous as her husband . Frida painted their feelings, their emotions and their pain and for that used colorful and traditional figures of his country and religious images of Mexican folk art.

Frida fell in love with Diego, 20 years ager than Frida. They married and traveled together to the States. They lived in several cities where Diego had contracts to paint murals .

Sometimes his art has been categorized as surrealistic, like coming from the dream, but as she herself said, 

" They [ the art critics ] think I'm surreal, but it's not true , I'm not : I I have never painted what I dream. I paint my own reality. "

She had a very sad and painful end, the pain came over her preventing a normal life and a year before his death had a leg amputated and then died in his blue house, that is now a museum.

I don't know when did I started liking her so much, I just know that I do and I hope that you enjoyed reading about her. 

 Love Always,

Nora.

Best Love Story Ever!

Okay I know I haven't written for a while but ehm, first of all Happy Holidays everyone!
I started a new semester on my school and now I need to study and all this stuff, so today I'll just write about a love story. Actually, the best love story you'll ever read. By me. Enjoy it, haha.

"Two weeks ago in the blue ocean, lived a shark. Near the sea there was a barn with horses and one day a horse ran away. The horse reached the shore and he was thirsty so he started drinking. But the shark came ready to eat him entirely and when he had the mouth open to attack him, their eyes met. The world stopped for a while. It was perfect. There and then, they understood it: that their lifes were now complete. That what they needed was to spend the rest of their lives together. So the horse, without doubting, jumped into the sea to be with his love. There were not even twelve minutes past when the horse stopped touching the sand and began to sink. The shark looked at him horrified, there was no way to help him, he even hasn't legs. And there he stood, seeing his big love dying. When his dear was nothing but a body floating, the shark died of sorrow. One hour later a whale went out there and ate them both. Finally, the lovers would have a place where to spend the rest of the eternity together, although it was only the colon of a whale. End."

Inspiring, isn't it?

Love Always, 

Nora.

My favorites movies

On my last entries, I wrote about my favorites books, and if you don't know, I love books and movies, so now I'll tell you my top 3 in movies:

In number 3:

3 idiots. The story is about 3 idiots, *oh, really?*. And they're in college and well it was funny so I liked it. The bad thing is that it lasts 3 hours and I saw it in like a week. You can watch the trailer HERE

In number 2:

Catching Fire. I'd been waiting more than a year for its premiere, and when it finally came out, I will just tell you that it worth it, the movie is soooooo like the book and I loved the effects, I can't wait for Mockingjay I! You can watch the trailer HERE

In number 1:

500 days of Summer. Okay well I love chickflicks and this movie is the queen of them, so I just love it. I mean, who wouldn't like to be 500 days friendzoned with someone? haha, just kidding, I love the end, 'My name is Autumn', and when the days start again with the 'She's got you high and you don't even know yet'. You can watch the trailer HERE

So these are my favorite movies, well three of them because I can't remember another movie right now, I hope you liked it, see you!

Love Always, 

Nora.

Cabo-kon.

Hi hi hi hi hi! Oh I don't know how to start, but well, *insert an introduction here* ok, let's go...

Yesterday I went to Cabo-kon, which is a convention of anime and manga and all of this otaku stuff, whatever, so I went there with Diane and Yazmin and I bought two mockingjay pins, one of THG, the first book of Suzanne Collins's trilogy, and the other one of CF, the second one;I had been looking for them soooooo long so I was so excited, I love them so much., they're so cute or I don't know how to describe them.

That day we ate hamburgers and ice cream and we watched all the cosplays, there was a lot of them, each year it gets kinda bigger, and well, we did a lot of fun stuff, I had an amazing weekend; tomorrow I'll write about today, today is my birthday by the way, I'm getting older.

There's a picture of our sodas at burger king, it's so hipster but I just wanted to have a pic of that day, lol.

Love Always,

Nora.

New book obsession coming!

I had already told you that I love Divergent, by Veronica Roth. I read it in Spanish, but the second part, Insurgent, is only in available in America, so I'll read it in English but I don't mind, whatever. Yesterday finally came out the last part of the trilogy, Allegiant, I'll be waiting so long for it, and I'll have to read it in PDF because I can't buy the paper book right now and I need it desperatly.
Here I come, Allegiant!

Love Always,

Nora.

It's me again

I haven't written for a while, i know; I have a lot of school stuff to do, but it doesn't matter because none cares, whatever, yesterday I went to the cinema with Diane, we saw "Gravedad", I'll write about it...

I found out about the movie while watching the Catching Fire's trailer, beside it there was another trailer, Gravedad's one, as I told you on my very first entry, I'll be an astronaut, so I love space and all this stuff, and the video was about it so I watched it and I loved the effects, but the movie would be in theaters like three months later, and yesterday was the premiere.

Diane always go with me to the movies even if she doesn't like the movie, I guess she loves me, so we went to the cinema but before we ate pizza and spagetti, and there were little meat balls, that's funny for us.

After the best italian food ever, haha, we saw the Catching Fire's poster, there's a picture of it, it's the most beautiful thing, I know. We'll go to the premier on November 22nd, I can't wait!

Okay so about the movie... it has the most incredible effects ever, well I had never seen another space movie except Apolo 18 but it's so old so the effects were like oh well, so Gravedad was totally awesome in that way. The story is about a mission, and there are three astronauts, two boys and a girl, they're fixing the Hubble but they have to abort the mission because it's dangerous to stay there, Matt Kowalsky and Ryan Stone are the only survivors until the guy decides to leave the girl so she will survive, and she tries but a lot of bad things happens, the oxygen is empty, there's fire on the space ship, there's not fuel... but obviously the main character will survive and she's like inmortal or something.

For me the movie was just flawless because I love the context and the effects, and I was with Diane so I had a good Friday, I hope you guys had a good one, too.

Love Always,

Nora.

Okay since now I'll end all my entries with this. Why? because I want to. Haha, just kidding, because I read a book named 'The perks of being a wallflower', it's a very popular book, I guess you have already hear about it, whatever, the main character always ends his letters with "Love Always, Charlie" but my name is not Ignacio or even Charlie, so I'll end in that way, thanks for reading!
