Why don't you shut up?

(If you don't know the meaning of the red words, put the mouse on them to get the spanish word)

Spain's King Juan Carlos told Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Saturday to "shut up" during closing speeches by leaders from the Latin world that brought the Ibero-American summit to an acrimonious end.
"Why don't you shut up?" the king shouted at Chavez, pointing a finger at the president when he tried to interrupt a speech by Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.
Zapatero was in the middle of a speech at the summit of mostly leftist leaders from Latin America, Portugal, Spain and Andorra, and was criticizing Chavez for calling former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar a fascist.
Chavez, a leading leftist foe of Washington, also attacked Spanish businessman Gerardo Diaz Ferran earlier in the week after he questioned the safety of foreign investments in Venezuela.
"I want to express to you President Hugo Chavez that in a forum where there are democratic governments ... one of the essential principles is respect," Zapatero told the leaders gathered in the Chilean capital, Santiago.
"You can disagree radically, without being disrespectful," Zapatero, a socialist, said sternly, drawing applause from some of the other heads of state. (Taken from Yahoo! News)

¿Colo -Colo o Universidad de Chile?

Cada vez que juegan estos dos equipos, sólo disfruto del partido y aplaudo las buenas jugadas, no demostrando favoritismo alguno. Si gana Colo-Colo o si gana la "U", igual tengo una familia "medio feliz",( 2 albos y 2 azules ) por lo que el quinto integrante, que sería yo, no inclina la balanza y se declara un "suizo" más.

El partido de hoy me trajo recuerdos .. y este empate también se expresa en el saludo.. (extensivo a todo el mundo )
Saludos a los representantes albos : "negroskii", "xsomm4x", "de_cierto".
Saludos a los representantes azules : "koala[lda]", "wiro_lda"; "paziencia"

Sólo yo sé lo ke soy.

Is the age difference important?

(If you don't know the meaning of the green words, put the mouse on them to get the spanish word)

A 24-year-old man married an 82-year-old woman in Argentina yesterday, insisting it was a union based on "great love" rather than money. Reinaldo Waveqche, who has lived with his elderly lover Oleander Volpes since the age of 15, said he preferred "mature women''. Ms Volpes, a retiree who is single and does not have any children, said the age difference had never mattered to either of them."I am very pleased,'' she said. "Reinaldo is marvellous, very good, kind and educated. The age difference has never been important for us.''

Surrounded by family, friends and media, the couple made their vows in a civil ceremony because the octogenarian said she would feel "ridiculous'' in a church wedding. Mr Waveqche said their relationship, which began after the death of his mother, was based on respect and love. Ms Volpes, a friend of his late mother, offered him a home when he was "only a boy''. She said there had been an instant connection from the moment he moved in at 15 but it did not turn into a romance until he turned 18. She confirmed that she instigated the romance. Mr Waveqche, who is unemployed, and Ms Volpes will spend their honeymoon in Rio de Janeiro. (Taken from The Daily Telegraph)

Do you think the age difference is important? Is love blind?

Septiembre

J'aime mon pays au mois de Septembre. C'est toujours la famille qui revient à ma mémoire. Mon père qui embellisait l'entrée de notre maison avec des branches des fleurs silvestres.. Ma mère qui nous faisait des vols-au-vent.... Nous, les trois frères, aidant à faire du pain.. et les achats..

Cette maison-là n'existe plus., et de l'autre...... il en reste bien peu de choses. Mais c'est ce mois-ci qui me fait revivre et vous dire: ¡Feliz 18 !
