The children of the sea

"El Mar"

I've never seen a movie so gory and disturbing as this one. Actually when I saw it I ended up having a nightmare. Well if you're into looking for something not Hollywoody films then this one is for you.



The story revolves around the three childhood friends; Ramallo(underground accomplice played by Roger Casamajor),



Manuel(religiously devoted played by Bruno Bergonzini)



and Francisca(Antonia Torrens as a nun that harbors the secrets of the three). Set during the Spanish Civil War, their lives were marked by a vengeful slaying of another child and they have carried this secret until they were adults.






The three reunited after a few years in a hospital for the care of tuberculosis. Where their lives have entwined again in desperation to find deliverance from its horrors. A particular interest here is that Manuel is trying to repress his sexual desires for Ramallo. He turns to religion in order to avert it, but to much dismay. (Does this sound a bell???) While Ramallo is particularly obsessed to be in the beach, hence the title "El Mar". Metaphorically signifying that the torment in our lives will one day find its calmness.

Although the casting was not that remarkable, their performance have suited the strange but beautiful story. The cinematography and sound effects succeeded to evoke you the feeling that there's hope to look forward to.

I am insatiably and dar-ren-gly in love

THE ARTIST

Darren Hayes is an Australian singer-songwriter who with his partner in Savage Garden, have mades such hits as "I want you", "To the Moon and Back". After parting ways in 2001 he launched into a solo career with his album "Spin" with the hit single "Insatiable" which I really liked so much that I chose to put this in one of my blogs, although he had released a new one. The lyrics were meaningfully crafted, just look way past the music video and you will see that it was meant to describe the relationship between 2 guys.

He entered into a civil partnership with his boyfriend, Richard Cullen, who is also his animator and director, on June 19, 2006. But before the announcement of the said union, his sexuality had been constantly questioned by the media so when the wedding was made public long-term fans were no longer shocked.

THE VIDEO

Blurred lines of sexuality

The flourishing internet e-businesses particularly pornsites and blogsites catering to just about everything you can think of have broken the lines of separation between Gay, Straight, Bi, Omni and A-sexual. Such are the labels that we have been wearing ever since the closet door hit the floor and we waved our rainbow pride flag and these were being created by the society to help recognize differences in people, but with the internet, these lines are already blurred and gone is the day that there is a "normal" approach to one's sexuality. Again these lines and boundaries are no longer necessary, there is no longer right or wrong when it comes to sex, as long as it is done with the consent of the people involved.

Being gay isn't really about who you sleep with, it is about our freedom to choose regardless of what other people think that is normal and mores. Our gay culture is just a normal reaction to the social integration that we struggled to create until now. Let us now celebrate our freedom of expression and recognition. Keep the internet free from any kind of censorship.

10 Notable things about Dominicans

You may say it is because of the difference among cultures but being in a foreign land one cannot help while you're living with them but notice some things. I listed them to give you an idea;

(1) They're used to looking and catcalling women but when it is mother's day they celebrate it wholeheartedly. Oh only if PLU can do the same, you know stare intentionally at the bulges of the guys without getting mauled. That'll be splendid.

(2) They love to celebrate holidays, there's almost a holiday in every month. Okay in this one I should agree with them.

(3) They always greet each other but they do not trust their neighbors, proof of which is that the houses are railed from the doors to their windows.

(4) They eat vegetables but it is overcooked and saggy that nutrients are already lost. NO VALE LA PENA.

(5) They wash their hands with handsoap but wipe it with toilet paper from a dispenser where a toilet basket placed below it. Then they'll shake hands with you. (oh okay!!!)

(6) They have overpass but seldom use it. I read lot of motorist dying by hit and run. WTF are they for? Display???

(7) They have 2 names but they're more oftenly called by different name far away from the 2 names. It's really confusing.

(8) They're surrounded by seas and yet they seldom eat fish. Yeah, it is so expensive here but who wouldn't want to eat fish?

(9) People debates just about everything in the sun and just about everywhere. So you hear Yadah yadah yadah on the television, on the road, in the restaurants and even inside restrooms.

And lastly, which is a great interest to the PLU is that,

(10) Boys shave both their pubes and armpit, and always touch their crotches when they walk. (Were they showing it off?) Girls shave their pubes on the bikini area but not in their armpit and not shy to show it off(yuckkk!!!that's what you call stinking guts!).

However all of these were topped by them being so nationalistic and lover of arts and music which I admire a lot. Their love of their country is truly unheard of.
