Thank You For The Good Times!

Yesterday I was all sarcastic and having fun about the whole Oasis-splitting-up issue… Today, I have to admit I have a knot in my throat and a teary eye. I woke up to a new declaration of Noel’s, one on which he says goodbye to the fans, one on which he describes the last 18 years as “truly truly amazing “ and “a dream come true”... So I guess this time it is for real. When I was younger I always knew this day would come and I thought of a million reactions I could have... So far my reaction has let me down drama-wise. I just can’t believe this is over... I can’t believe the one thing that’s always made me happy, the one thing that changed my life and, as corny and cliché as it sounds, the soundtrack of my life, will stop right here and I’ll have to live listening to old music to feel the comfort and happiness that Oasis gives me. Maybe Oasis will go on without Noel Gallagher, maybe they won’t... If they do, I will still be a fan but the man will be seriously missed and all I can hope

Don't Look Back in Anger

Video: Filmed by myself 29th of November 2008. Monterrey, Mexico. I had been working all morning long so I decided to take a break… I found on Facebook this thing on which you have to answer a few questions with songs from only one singer or band… Of course, it had to be Oasis… Right when I was about to finish answering the questions, I got a Tweet from Oasis’s official Twitter: “RT @oasis: A statement from Noel: http://bit.ly/VTa6W” That was a bit shady, so I rushed in and read: “A STATEMENT FROM NOEL" 28 August 2009 "It's with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer. Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz and Milan." Are you serious?! Is this for real?! During the last months, Liam and Noel had been arguing over the internet, Noel posting insults against his brother on his blog “Tales From The M

There is still hope for peace!

Hiroshima is a place that moves and touches you in many ways. Some people may compare visitng Hiroshima to visiting the concentration camps in Europe but I think there is quite a difference! Hiroshima and the whole concept of the Peace Memorial Park (which includes the monuments, the museum and the Hall of Remembrance), show the visitors that the people of Hiroshima were never interested in making others feel pitty for them, actually, they admit how much damage they caused to other countries in Asia on their imperialistic quest, which led to many deads and destroyed cities, before they had to experience the explosion of an atomic bomb themselves. Having this in mind, the Japanese rebuilt a city of peace and hope. A city that will always remind us, even just by mentioning its name, the horrors of war, but also the strenght of human beings and our capability to work and build a new life and future. Walking around the museum and reading all about nuclear destruction, does make you sad (an

Greetings from the past!

Today was an awkward day… I was supposed to work, but instead I went through old documents, books, magazines and pocket diaries, I just can’t concentrate today! These pocket diaries were used as a way of knowing what I had to do each day and what I had done in previous days. The main topics were my school assignments and everything I did during the afternoon with my friends and family. Even though I’ve always said I’m not the kind of girl who likes to write a diary, these things were actually diaries because today, while reading them, I wasn’t interested at all on my school assignments for each day, but in the secret codes I found on it. Each day I wrote something in code. An example would be: “HaC/RiToLaTaYMeEn!!”. I was amassed by how easily I could crack these codes today. That one up there means: “Hablé con Ricardo toda la tarde y me encanta!!” Enlishg: “I talked to Ricardo the whole afternoon and I like him very much!!”. Ricardo being a guy I had a crush
