The horror unfolded Paris

Last Friday 13th of November, 6 terrorist attacks took place in Paris held by 8 jihadists, which caused the death of 132 people and more than 350 wounded. This is an attack by the recruited mans of the Islamic State, who sowed fear in the country.

First of all, it is important to remark that more than a religious act, this act is related to politics and revenge. France, prior to the attacks, bombed Syria where civilians were killed. The Islamic state, also known as ISIS, answered with the killing of Paris. Consequently, France returns to attack the ISIS and calls for collaboration to Europe. In other words, a war begins between a progressive country and a terrorist group, where the most damage ones are the citizens.

Secondly, the next point to consider is the big shock and damage that have caused the killings worldwide. The incident occurred in France, a safe European country. For this reason, it not only hurts French people, but also the rest of Europe, a continent that shares moral values. However shocking it is, murderers of this kind are daily in countries like Syria or Iraq. Because of this, people question: is more worth a French life than a Sirian life?

Summarizing what has been said before, what we are experiencing these days is nothing more than a political conflict between two countries, where the ones who are hurting are innocent humans, whose lives are unfairly snatched.

Review: PS: I love you

Holly is a smart woman married to Gerry, the love of her life. Therefore, when a disease kills Gerry it also destroys Holly's life; they were married 7 years. The only person that could help her in everything had gone forever. Nobody knew Holly better than Gerry, so he left devised a plan for her future.

Before his death, Gerry wrote to Holly a series of letters that would lead her not only in her grief but also in a journey of rediscovering herself. The first message arrives on Holly's 30th birthday as a cake and, for her amazment, a tape with a voice message from Gerry, who orders her to get on the road to "held itself." During the weeks and months, exactly during a year, Holly receives more letters from Gerry in the most incredible ways, each with a new adventure for Holly, and all finished in the same way: PS, I love you.

Holly's mother and best friends, Denise and Sharon, begin to worry for her because they think that Gerry's letters are keeping Holly stuck in the past. However, what really do each letter is pushing Holly for a new future. Gerry, through his letters suggests the young widow rebuild her life, smile again: fall in love without fear. 

With Gerry's words as a guide, Holly embarks on a sensitive and exciting journey of rediscovery, in a story about friendship and about the strength that can have a love, to the point of turning the death of someone to the beginning of a new life of another. 

                                   

PERSONAL OPINION

When I started to watch the movie, and the beginning was the death of Gerry, I thought: why??? But then, when the letters began to arrive, I was sure that the film would not disappoint me. The vast majority of the scenes of Holly's memories excite the viewer. My favorite is the one that shows how Holly and Gerry meet when they were teenagers. It is a story that can inspire anyone. I really recommend it. 

Review: DEAR JOHN

John is a soldier of the special forces, an attractiveguy, that during his period of leave goes to visit his father in South Carolina. Savannah Curtis is a beautiful college student from a wealthy Southern family that is at home for spring break. John and Savannah are from different worlds, but when they meet by chance on the beach, are immediately attracted to each other. The meeting turns into a whirlwind romance for two weeks and their feelings quickly deepen until it turns into a passionate love. When John is forced to return to the forces, Savannah has to go back to college. In that moment, the couple promises to write to each other. Through continuous correspondence, their love blossoms and deep romantic love story continues.

As time passes, John and Savannah can be seen only sporadically. The period of John in his detachment abroad extends and the life of Savannah carry on. While the situation in the world becomes increasingly complex, Savannah is constantly worried about the safety of John, and John is torn between his dedication to his work and his desire to return home and start a life with Savannah. Despite the increasing tension between their desires and responsibilities the couple struggles to keep their commitment. But when unexpected tragedy occurs John returns and his return provokes an emotional confrontation where the couple is forced to discover whether their love can survive.

John discovers that Savannah married Tim, who is seriously ill. Then, John decides to sell the coins from his father to pay the treatment of Tim. Tim survives two months and later, he dies. The film ends when John and Savannah meet in a pub and they hug each other.

There is an alternative final, where Tim survive, and after 5 years, Savannah writes to John, to tell him that Tim is ok and that she will always be thankful of meeting him. Savannah is outside her house watching the moon, and John is watching her hided, next to the house. 

PERSONAL OPINION:

Being a crazy fan of love stories, Dear John was one of these films that made me cry like a little girl watching the end. Dear John is not the typical romantic and idealistic story: the fact of having problems with their relationship (like John being a soldier in the war) makes the film realistic.There's also a relation of John and is father that is interesting and emotional. I really liked the alternative final, which in fact, is the real final of the book version. It shows that John did what he has to do to make Savannah happy, even if he is in love with her. I like the idea of a final of a couple that are deeply in love but they decide to not being together for the good of the others. 

Composition Dorian Gray’s book: BEAUTY

Physical beauty has an end, but the beauty inside us is forever.

From my point of view, beauty is not the most important element of our lives, as Lord Henry says to Dorian Gray. There is something more than a gorgeous face and a fair hair. We are humans because we have a soul, feelings. What makes us beautiful is how we are with the others and how we treat them. In the book Dorian Gray, the portrait would be the human and Dorian the portrait. Youth perhaps is and incredible stage of our lives accompanied by beauty, so it is necessary for us to be conscious that it will last, and that it is not as essential as we probably think.

Maybe when our youth goes our beauty will go with it like Lord Henry says, but we will still be the same person with a beautiful soul!

PODCAST: Joke!

Fashion Bloggers: CHIARA FERRAGNI

Nowadays, fashion bloggers are so popular around the world. I want to share with all of you my opinion and make you know more about this movement with an example: the italian girl Chiara Ferragni.

Fashion bloggers started to create their blogs since 2007, approximately. Most of them weren’t professionals of the fashion world, they just were young people, students and teenagers who hung their daily outfits on the Internet, specifically on the web Blogger. People started to follow them in their social media and over time, they became famous around the world.

Chiara Ferragni, in 2009, was a normal italian girl who was studiyng law in the univeristy. But then, she created a fashion blog, showing her own style and finally she gets famous. Her web page is called “The blonde salad”, and now she has over four millions followers on instagram. Her webpage grow so fast and now a group of persons are working in it. Two years ago, she created her own brand of shoes, which people really liked and which at present their price are around the hundreds of dollars. Later, in 2013, she has been employed by Guess as a model. Today, Ferragni is a successful business woman, a great fashion designer and an attractive model.

I knew about Chiara when I created my instagram count. She’s so stylish! Her outfits are very original and I’m every day visiting her instagram account because I enjoy watching her ideas. It’s like she puts her personality in her clothes, and that’s what I like of her.

Follow your dream, achieve your goal

In this post, I am going to talk about the my say called “Follow your dream, achieve your goal”. I found a video which explains better (with a story) this title. Here it is:

In this video, appears a group of children watching a football match in the window of a pub, and the owner makes out all the kids screaming. A young girl saw what happened and she has an idea: create her own slide projector. She works hard sometimes sleepless, goes every day to the library, looks for pieces in wherever… Finally, she achieved her objective and makes happy all the people of her neighbourhood, specially those kids that one day she saw. She becomes the hero of those guys.

This video can be summarized in one sentence: if you believe in yourself, you can get whatever you want. And I absolutely agree with this affirmation, because I think that if you don’t give up and keep trying, one day you will get your objective. It’s just a mixture of attempts, perseverance and hard work. If you don’t have money, you can recycle like the girl of the video and continue with your project, if you don’t have knowledges you can learn them; even if you think it’s impossible it can be possible.

Nothing is impossible (inside the reality); you only have to try and try. You’ll spend so much time, but it will never be a wasted time, because in the end, it will be worth.
