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,

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:

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.

Unanswered Prayers: Explained

When I was younger and naive, I used to pray a lot for the things I wanted and needed in my life. A few years ago, I met a guy from an online dating site who I was certain he was the one for me. Over the years, I never truly understood why God didn't answer my prayers -- until now. It was very apparent to me that as this guy and I both grew up and live completely different lives; I noticed an overarching theme in his life where in the end, he has no inner peace in his life. The drama in his life is still there as it was when I first met him many years ago but appear to be present in different ways.
