My Favorite Movies

We all have a favorite movie that we never get tired of watching over and over again. I, on the other hand, have a few favorite movies. I own them on DVD and I watch them when I know I can dedicate two hours of my time of uninterrupted time. Check out what's on my list.

One of my all time favorite movies is called The Wedding Date. If you've never seen it before, I will only share the main key points of the movie with you. A lady in her 30s hires a handsome escort to her sister's wedding where the best man is her ex-fiance. Things happen and secrets are unfolded but there's something about the main character that I can relate to...maybe because, in the end, she realizes that there is someone way better for her out there.

My second favorite movie is The Blind Side, starring Sandra Bullock (who won an Oscar for this role, by the way). It's absolutely amazing! I cry every time I see it and it's always in the same part of the movie too! The part where Leigh Anne shows Michael his new bedroom and they are talking about his bed. Watch it for yourself, here:

This scene will hit you harder when you've watched the whole movie, I swear!

My third favorite movie is called The Holiday. It stars Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jack Black, and Jude Law. It's funny, sweet, it takes place in England and in Los Angeles during Christmastime and I absolutely love watching it when the weather is cold. It helps me get in the Christmas mood and the cool thing is that it's not really about Christmas, it's actually a story about four characters that somehow have trouble with love in different aspects of it. It's fun to watch as well.

I hope you get a small chance to watch any of these movies. If you have any movies that you think I should watch and add to my Favorites' List, please let me know.

Thanks for reading,

Seeing the light

I'm sure you've heard of stories about other people having near death experiences they encounter when they find themselves in very dangerous situations. I was watching a program as part of the Super Soul Sunday series of comedian Tracy Morgan talk about the accident that almost took his life about a year and half ago which happened on his drive home after doing a comedy show. He talks about seeing his deceased father coming to him and telling him that he wasn't ready for him yet. It made me think of my near death experience I had in high school.

New Year's Eve Hispanic Traditions

I seriously believe that every culture has some very interesting ways of welcoming the New Year. I grew up in a Mexican household in the United States, so I got the best of both worlds. I do have to say, that we have some every fun and creative ways to welcome the New Year:

Confessions of a newly single woman

It's not easy living life when your heart is broken. People say that no one dies from a broken heart but I will say, it sure makes life more difficult. I had my relationship with my boyfriend of over a year recently end and the pain is very much present. For reasons that were out of my control and looking back, I can only hope that he let me go because he really truly loved me and wants me to live a happy life even if it's without him. On some days, I wake up with him on my mind often wonder if he still thinks of me, if he misses me or wonders if I'm doing well or not. These days are definitely my bad days.
