Next year resolutions

Do you have any resolution for this new year? Anything planned? This new year, like the previous one, I want to keep writing short stories and send them to contests; cooking new dishes, stop bitting my nails, keep on practicing Yoga and swimming. This new year as new resolution, I´d like to change my job and if I could, publish any of my short stories. To get a little bit more dressy instead to be always so casual. By the way, I want to be as happy as last year or if I could, even more. Well, I wish I could not to see so many doctors, but I´m afraid this is more like a prayer than a resolution and what about you?
I leave you this lyrics just in case you could need any inspiration for resolutions. Have a great new year!!

Next year, things are gonna change
Gonna drink less beer, and start all over again
Gonna read more books, gonna keep up with the news
Gonna learn how to cook, spend less money on shoes
I’ll pay my bills on time,and file my mail away, everyday
Only drink the finest wine,and call my Gran every Sunday

Resolutions, baby they come and go
Will I do any of these things? The answers probably no
If there’s one thing I must do, despite my greatest fears
I’m gonna say to you, how I felt all of these years
Next Year
Next Year

I’m gonna tell you how I feel
I‘m gonna tell you how I feel

Resolutions, baby they come and go
Will I do any of these things? The answers probably no
If there’s one thing I must do, despite my greatest fears
I’m gonna say to you, how I felt all of these years
Next Year
Next Year

All at sea (Meme Musical)

December 26th, 2007 by Cornflakegirl

english spanish 

Lawbug tagged me to submit three video clips by bands or singers that I like and explaining why. Here I go!
The first video clip is Billy Joel and his Just the way you´re. I love this song, it´s my song well, it´s ours! Shammael and mine. Let me tell you a secret, Shammael sings pretty well. But I´m afraid this time you will listening just Billy Joel in Sesame Street.

This is the song that I listened when I moved on to Dublin. Now, after two years, it´s maked me feel the same way that when I crossed river liffey for first time. Jamie Cullum and his All at sea.

The third one, the most difficult. I think I could keep on submitting videos for ages! The chosen one is Tori Amos and her Cornflake Girl because Tori and her musical poetry has filled my days. I hope you enjoy them!

Death Note

December 15th, 2007 by Cornflakegirl

english spanish 

Death note is a Japanese manga written bu Tsugumi Oba and Takeshi Obata. From this story, there is an anime (and two movies as well). Two friends of mine recommend it to us and I watched it some days ago. The plot is how the life of a student change after he found out a death note, a shinigami´s booknote (shinigami is a death God). If you write a name of a person on it and you know his/her face, that person will die. [en]

[en]I´m not into mange or anime, I´d prefer American comic and animation movies; but I must confess that I really enjoyed this anime. The starring characters were attractive and interesting, charismatic. However, the story has 2 rhythm changes although they kept the thriller until the end. I like it a lot so, I think I will be more interested on these genres.

Rocky Balboa

December 8th, 2007 by Cornflakegirl

english spanish 

Who doesn´t know this boxer? Rocky Balboa is one of the heroes whom adventures arrived to our screens at the end of seventies and eighties. However, Italian Stallion is closer to an anti-hero that the character in the movies Rocky III or IV: just a man with handicaps and he knows them very well; he was never very smart, as his father told him time after time, and boxing is what he knows to do and do it well.
Rocky movies saga are special to me because I watched them when I was a kid. In that time, I strongly believed that if you try something harder enough you will get it. Good guys always win. Nevertheless, while I´ve watched the following sequels I saw Rocky wining and losing, even more losing everything and time doesn´t help. Until the last sequel, Rocky Balboa, for me, this last one is really good ending. In this one we can see an alone man, his wife died some years ago, now he manages a restaurant where he tells his boxing souvenirs to the clients and his son doesn´t want to be in touch with him. Later on, for reasons I prefer not to tell to avoid spoiler the movie, Rocky got a chance to go back to the ring because the boxers boxed.
As summary, Rocky movies saga is the story of a man with a dream and he fights for it. He won and lost a lot but he always was truly himself. When I was ten years old, I used to think that the good guys always won but now, I´m thirty something and I think that it´s not a matter of winning or losing, just a matter of who you are and you believe.
