My city and its people

Hello Everyone! :D

Today I want to write about my city and some people. Do you know we have a special name for the people who is from my city?... I am sure in your hometown you have an special name too. Well, for the people who born and has been living there for a long time you can calls us "REGIOS". Why we are regios? ... The answer is simple because we come from the north of our country and the complete name is Regiomontanos that means kings of mountains, so Regios could mean kings. I feel really proud when the people call me you are Regia because the legacy of the people who lived in my city before people who worked really hard to built the city which is today. My city is one of the tree most important economic cities in my country there are almost all the important companies and industry. I think the people who born in Monterrey is really honest and empreneteur. In 1930, some young people started with the dream of a private univesity and the could build a good school that now it is the biggest privete school in Mexico and I am proud all this dream and vision started in my city, but also a big companies started to grew up since the opening of this city as the bigest cement company around the world CEMEX. I really love my city its culture and traditions.

Hello!....
This time I am going to write about the best movie event of the year. Can you guess what kind of event I am talking about? .......... Well, I am going to mention some clues. This event is too popular in the Unites States for a long of 81 years, They celebrate the magic of the best movie productions from here and outside this country and the best actors and actress wear a designer clothes. Do you already now what is the name of this event? You are right the name of this event is The Oscar. I really love watch this event every year although sometimes I am disagree with some of the nominations. This year I think they had selected a really good movies and I had seen 4 of the nominated for best movie and 2 nominated for best actor and secondary actor or actress. I think the movie Doubt had been select for the best movie because it is a really good movie which make you think about life and how you sometimes have doubts make you judging a situation or people and at the end you never now if you had known the true or not. Another good move which is only nominated for secondary actress is Rachel getting married it is a family story about the problematic sister who is always making troubles into the family, I think this movie is really good but it is a little bit cruel, heavy and realistic.

For now I am going to leave this post like this because I am sure I have a lot of commentaries about this topic and in the rest of the weekend I am going to add some more information. Have fun! >D

Hello!....

This week is called the love week. Although some people does not like, other people loves the idea to celebrate their love or another just think is nothing special. I know again I am going to talk something related with love, but this time I want to explain how we celebrate in Mexico San Valentines Day! :D

In Mexico San Valentines Day is a new celebration, I do not know exactly since when we started to celebrate it, but probably it started in the earlier years of 1990 because at that time the Mexican Government and the American Government were more open to the free commerce between this two countries and a new stores as Wal-Mart entered to Mexico as a new market, thus wit this new bridge the American Celebrations entered to my culture. The Mexican culture it seems to me like a love culture because the man always take care about his lover and who to let her know his feelings. For example, In the oldies movies called the "Gold Mexican Movies" you can see the guy always trying to flirt the girl with songs, give her presents, compete with another guys or just giver her poems to get her attention. One special way to get her attention and probably earn more point’s whit his lover is the traditional "Serenata". Before the "Serenata" was really a really big activity to get the love of a girl because the guys competed to get her attention they bring the "Mariachi" and they started to sing a song and who has the best Mariachi and Song for sure has more opportunities to get her love. Well, that was my explanation about who the guy gets the love of his lover. Whoever nowadays we celebrate Valentines Days and it means a Friendship and Lovers Day. Actually the guys send a roses bouquet and some special present to their lovers and some of them send secret letters with poems and of course some of them bring the "Mariachi" or a group of friends with musical instruments as "Mariachi" to the school, work or house of their lovers. I think it is really romantic and special and definitely this year I am going to miss the secret roses, "Serenatas" and poems. Finally for friendship we usually send some letters and give those candies or special presents to our friends.

I hope all of you guys will enjoy your Valentines Day in the way you most like to celebrate it. :)
