When words fail, music speaks...

And suddenly my mind turned black. No words. No thoughts. Just nothing. My heart was broken. Broken in thousand pieces. He never loved me. He never owned to me. But he was an important piece in my stupid puzzle called life. Not an unremarkable piece. Of course, in a puzzle all the pieces are important. But he was the last one. The last piece that would complete my puzzle, my life.

Cool deep T-shirts

I wanted to do something a little bit more different with  my last "news" post.  Firstly, I'm going to write without looking for some words in the dictionary, and without Internet's help. Well.. this article is really short, but the writer uses idioms and also it's really funny. So I hope you enjoy it.

My favourite one. 

Thisarticle talks about the Japanese clothes, made to replicate American clothes. But as the writer says, some languages just weren't meant for each other. This article gathers some clothes found in the Japanese shops. The T-shirts have a lot of mistakes, or just say nonsenses.

I've chosen this article because it reminds me to Sonia, because she takes a photo of cool T-shirts with beautiful messages. If she saw this, she would laugh at this not pretty cool T-shirts.

Photoshopped Sandro Botticelli's Birth of Venus

In the matter of the beauty topic that we're doing in class, I've found this article in a website called aplus that really attracted my attention. It's about the odd idea that a professional photo editor had.

Lauren Wade, the editor, have photo-shopped versions of iconic paintings to capture how much the beauty standards have changed. He applied the current beauty ideals to the famous paintings from the Renaissance.

The results prove the contrast, and reveal our warped beauty standards.

I've chosen this article because it really attracted my attention with the funny fact that the writer uses the expression “all about that bass” we worked some weeks ago with the song.

Japan Is Back in the Hunt for Whales

This pieceof news from the New York Times is an opinion article about the Hunt for whales by the hands of Japan. As far as we can see, Japan's political leaders claims “scientific” motives to resume the whale hunting, despite the International Court of Justice banned against commercial whaling off Antarctica.

So, to keep the adherence to the treaty, the government announced that it would resume the hunt, but reducing the kill to 333 minke whales (1/3 from the recent hunts).

But the worst of all is that they try to prove the whale-hunting with arguments like:

- Whaling for scientific research.

- Whaling as a definitive part of Japanese culture.

So, the court has no power to enforce it's ruling, and everything is in the Japan's government hands. 

I've chosen this article because the whale-hunting it's a topic that really upsets me. I'm an ocean lover, and I love all the ocean's wildlife. So the fact that a government resumes with that awful murders, breaks my heart. The whale-hunting must be stopped.
