Hashiko: (Siempre a tu lado )
The professor always makes the same route, he traveled by train everyday and Hashi waited for his master every day. But sadly one day the Professor didn’t arrive, because he was dead. Hashi was disconcerted and a little confused. His master was gone, he spend all his life waiting for his master in the train station. Hashi it was famous. When the time past, after 10 year waiting for the professor, Hashi dies, and finally he can be with his master in the heaven.
My opinion of this movie is just a touching heart story, the tenderness of the dog and his audacity, and the love of this family to the dog is just wonderful.
Also is important that this film is a real story, in a city call Odate (Japan), now in the place where Hashiko waited for his master. There is a statue in appreciation of loyalty.
This story is just about love, loyalty and hope between a dog and his master.

Hachiko
This movie shows us an adorable real history about a Japanese dog, this dog always waits to his owner(Professor Parker Wilson) at five o’clock every day in the same station because Mr. Wilson trained to his puppy for do this.
But one day his owner had an acute myocardial infarction (IMA) when he was working, and he died. His wife couldn’t resist the pain.
Since that day hachi had to move to other place (with the daughter of the professor) and this was very difficult for he because he don’t understand what happened or where was the professor, he tought Mr. Wilson still waiting him at the station.
Hachi wait his owner for nein long years, and one cold day, finally, her owner arrive, so hachi run close to him.

The last post
And all of us have to look inside of themself all the answers of the questions of the life and try to understand the life, our life and search your truth.
And when I finally I find the answers on me, then I can trust in myself, because if I don't who I'm or why I'm here, I don't know anything about me and I can't trust in my desicion.
And if I trust in my desicions other people can trust in me sense, and If all of us try to trust in other people.

This it’s the evidence of “looks can be deceiving” because his wife who look very serius really was a little bitch, and the crazy woman (Polly) who don’t wanna have a serius relationship with any man, finally was faithful.

Fixing Mistakes III
____________________________________________________________
Its a girly girls movie and I have to confess that I really fell in love with the gentleman Darcy Marck and hated the lesbian who was “flirting” with him in the first movie. In the second she kissed Bridget., about her, I felt a strange identification, and who doesn’t? All of us can have this crazy situations, I think all of us hate Daniel Cleaver this womanizer who try to move away Bridget from Mark. Like all the stories have a happy ending, with a happy couple this movie can’t be exception of the rules.
Fixing Mistakes II
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I had super powers, I would like to be able to teleport myself to any place that I want in this world, like in the movie 'Jumper'. I think it would be great to sit in your room and in the next minute stand on the top ot the Empire State Building. I also would like to turn back time, so I could fix some mistakes I did in the past or live some special moments again. Another power I would like to have the ability of healing, so I could heal sick people and there would be less pain and diseases in the world.
