My life according to U2

Back in 2007 I received this 'test' in my Facebook. Today, I found it and amused myself on these answers. Recapping them, I certainly made a few changes...

So, the thing's like this: all of your answers (all!) have to be the title of one song from one artist, only. And you should not repeat them. You can try it if you want, it's fun but a little harder/trickier than you think. Re-post as "My life according to [artist]" and share it.

Something funny I found while on FB

Something funny I found in my Facebook timeline, worth "stealing and posting" for you all to enjoy, specially for my music fan friends and performers...

¡Feliz día de la madre!

Madre: Dios te bendiga, porque nutriste
con savias de tu vida dulces y tiernas,
esta existencia mía, profunda y triste,
como el agua dormida de las cisternas.

Madre: Dios te bendiga, porque fuiste
el faro de mis noches de ansias eternas,
porque de tus ternuras, bálsamo hiciste
para ungir mis dolientes llagas internas.

Madre: Madre adorada de mis anhelos,
sólo tú en este mundo, tiene consuelos
para mi pobre pecho falto de calma;

sólo tú me comprendes, porque tú eres
la más buena y más santa de las mujeres,
Madre de mis amores, Madre del alma.

Poema "Madre" del poeta panameño (y chiricano) Santiago Anguizola Delgado.

How is a baseball game in Korea

Recently, while in Korea, I got the chance to go to a baseball game in Jamsil. It was my 2nd time there, and of course I was wearing my team's jersey!
Baseball in Korea is brilliantly different from what you are used to -- that is if you are from the Western side of the world and you watch US MLB.
I am dear to say that my team is LG Twins (for the most obvious reasons), even though they are not having the best season at this moment... Anyhow, what makes the game night interesting is not the game itself (odd!) but the spirit from the bleachers, the fans, the cheerleaders!
This is a video from someone that went to a game 2 days after me, never-mind: the crowd is as energetic as you will expect.
Odd! But a lot of fun! Thanks Gary, we had a blast!
And of course, Gangnam Style was played :)

HM the Queen

The Queen of England (and the other realms of the UK, etc, etc, etc) has been 60 years in the throne.
No big news. We all now this.
"Time" magazine dedicated August issue to her and all the Royals. Something my friend Liz will is happy about, because she's such a great Brit supporter... And I mean, Liz, my friend since college, not Elizabeth Windsor (of course).
Anyhow, such great festivities in London, just before the Olympics.
