Ken Lee

Ok- this isn't about making fun of anyone. I am sure I would be ridiculous trying to sing in Bulgarian. But...I MUST admit this video is hilarious! Pretty creative girl Valentina Hassan, actually.



"Without you" is one of the most romantic songs ever...! Mariah Carey's interpretation isn't half bad either



Valentina Hassan's first performance was great. A lot of people made fun of it, including me I admit, but if you don't pay too much attention to the lyrics, you see she's totally in rhythm. Afterwards, she learned the lyrics better



V. Hassan even got her own radio version of "Ken Lee". What a success!!!



Good for her!

Marilyn Monroe and Chopsticks

"The Seven Year Itch" was directed by Billy Wilder (1955) and it was a huge success.

Great movie on naivety, love and fidelity. Loved Marilyn Monroe's performance. She's just beautiful!

This is probably my favourite part of the movie:

Grafitti Series: What Guatemalan people are saying today (II)



"Free Ramiro Choc"


Key: Land


Ramiro Choc is a peasant leader that used to promote direct action (private property invasion) as a mean to getting land ownership for "the people". Land ownership is a historical problem in Guatemala. HUGE- huge problem.

Choc was arrested on February 14th. Since then, 29 police officers were held by peasants for over 33 hours, 4 Belgian tourist were kidnapped for a couple of days, and many protests have been organized, all in demand of his release.

A complicated issue and land, once again, is forgotten in the negotiations. Today, the issue is the release of Ramiro Choc. What will it be tomorrow?

Land. Land. Land.

Capadocia



An accident, an unlucky coincidence, a bad decision made in no more than a second...

Capadocia is a great HBO series that does a good job at showing how not everything is right or wrong...and how in a matter of seconds your life can change completely. Gotta be careful!

Capadocia has a strong and clear message: there is a dark side to everyone, just like there is a complicated, pure, kind side to every person. Life's unfair and unpredictable, but in the end, it's always up to you.

Also, everyone deserves a second chance.

p.s. Loooooooove the theme song!!! Makes me want to cry every time...
