Villa Lorena

In a normal day, doing zapping, I listen somebody talking about animals, a very important topic to me.  A Colombian woman, whit her husband was talking in a very emotional way  about they passions and lives.

Are you wondering what they do??? To me something touching be angels, they give a new life`s opportunity to all the animals, no matter the size, no matter what angry or wild are the animal or how hurt are!! Unfortunately the human been hurt to these animals

In the vision they say “we want to make the people understand about the animal`s importance through community programs where the people can see the animals and learn about the care of them. Also we think the people have to know that the animals don´t have to be captivity.They must be free!”  

To me their job, is too much beautiful, but the most important thing they work just whit sponsor, the Colombian government don´t help or some organization who says they help to animals!!!  

So i`ll give some links and try to help to this beautiful work, make a donation.  You can save an animal life!

Marie Antoinette

By Tamara Uson

Marie Antoinette was a born as the

archduchess of Austria then later became the Dauphine of France after she got married with Louis-Aguste, the Dauphine of France. And when he became the king "Louis XI of France, she also became the Queen of France and Navarre.


She gained notoriety because she was beautiful and had a charming personality, but later she started to spend lots of money of the monarchy, so the French people looked at her as a big spender, frivolous and promiscuous and because of it, the people started to hate the monarchy and they started to blame her for the misery and poverty that France was at the time.

When the French revolution started, the royal family tried to leave the country, and that looked extremely bad to the French people, so they deposed Louis XI and abolished the monarchy and imprisoned the royal family and later they executed Louis XI, and accused Marie Antoinette of treason and the National Convention convicted her to be executed by guillotine.

Marie Antoinette is still a subject in pop culture, because of her legendary extravagance, stormy love life, her dramas and how she died executed by guillotine. 

I chose Marie Antoinette to write in this blog was basically because of the movie "Marie Antoinette" of Sofia Coppola, and that lead me to believe that Marie Antoinette was a just a teenager when she got married to Louis and she had to leave her family, her country, and even her pug "mops" so i only see a young girl with no connection to reality who finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Movie title: "Marie Antoinette"

Year: 2006

Director: Sofia Coppola

La Quintrala

By Javiera Herrera.


Catalina de Rios was the real name of the “Quintrala” a woman that was known for being the cruelest and evilest of the colonial epoch. She was famous, for her beauty, but also because how she abused her servants.


In Chilean history, her figure is mythical, known over the years as an evil woman. The story says, that this woman got married with a spanish soldier, Alonso Campodrío de Carvajar, who was a descendant of the Count Urgel, even though she was married, she had many lovers, that she used and after a while she murdered her lovers.


It is said that back in 1624, Catalina invited, through a loving bill, a wealthy liege from Santiago. When she had him in her arms, she stabbed him and blamed a slave for her crime. Her slave had a trial at the “plaza de armas”. This version is called into question, since, according to what is stated in the will of Catherine, she couldn’t write.


The story also says that she beated and stabbed a man called Enrique Enríquez, an old lover, because he played with her heart (because he refused to hand her a cross, a symbol of nobility, in exchange for a kiss). Enríquez accused Catalina of her supposed love affair with the friar Pedro de Figueroa (her crush). The religious man was married, and she stalked him without success and then she tried to murder him.


She also cut Martín de Ensenada's left ear and that she murdered a gentleman from Santiago, in the presence of another gentleman, after a date. The character of the Quintrala has left permanent marks on the memory and Chilean tradition, and because of that it has written various novels and TV series based on it. In 2011 “ La Quintrala” became a nighttime soap opera based on her story called "La Doña" showing her abusive and her evil personality.

My favorite movie: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

By Javiera Herrera

Harry Potter and the prisoner of azkaban is the third movie of the Harry potter saga based on the JK Rowling books of the same name and this time the director was Alfonso Cuarón, who’s not only took care to accentuate the doubts that happens in the adolescence and the many doubts that harry has about his past and how his parents died.

This time the movie it’s about a Sirius black, a murderer who escaped Azkaban, and especially it’s about harry and his friends Ron and Hermione looking for  the truth about the death of harry’s parents.

This year hogwarts is at terror and now with these events the security of the students, especially harry’s, the ministry of magic decided to sent dementors to look after the school.  Dementors are beings who fed of bad memories and sadness and because of that they steal the soul and any hope and because of some weird reason, the dementors are chasing harry, so he learns to fight them off

In my personal opinion, I believe that this is one of the best movies of the saga, because it caught the attention of the audience, encouraging to read the books and to see movies that are coming and besides the work of the director Alfonso Cuarón, it’s one of the best, where the details of each of the elements that appear on the screen, meet the descriptions identified by  JK Rowling,  by far improving the relation book/movie.

By Camila Garrido

Wikipedia says about the movie "Under the Tuscan Sun is a 2003 film American romantic comedy drama film written, produced, and directed by Audrey Wells and starring Diane Lane. Based on Frances Mayes' 1996 memoir Under the Tuscan Sun, the film is about a recently-divorced writer who buys a villa in Tuscany on a whim, hoping it will lead to a change in her life.[2] The film was nominated for the Art Directors Guild Excellence in Production Design Award, and for her performance in the film, Diane Lane received a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Performance by an Actress"

Why I'm talking about this movie, it`s obviousl!!!! one of my favorite movies is "under the Tuscan sun" anyone would think that the typical romantic movie to mourn and feel reflected in it, made it for single or someone to believe "the train has passed", but this not my case.

This movie made ​​me think, feel, reflected in some parts with the protagonist, who face a love separation traveling and there is a balance needed, she found somethig that make in the past everything, any pain, bad feeling, it`s just like she took everything in a bag and she throw away.

My mom always teach me, no matter how bad it`s the problem you just have to dry your tears, left everything in a bag and anymore open it, says!!!!Get out of my way!!! Never give up!! And that why I love this movie, no matter what happen, you can´t never give up!! And always smile and enjoy the life.
