Fashion - Visit to the Public Library

 

I love visiting a library. It's a quiet and relaxing place where I could spend hours reading and searching so many books about almost any subject. I strongly recommend this as a cultural, yet therapeutic place once in a while.

Me fascina visitar una biblioteca. Es un espacio tranquilo y relajante en donde puedo pasar horas leyendo y buscando tantos libros sobre casi cualquier tema. Recomiendo este lugar como cultural y terapéutico de vez en cuando.

Disney's Studios

Magic Kingdom - the most visited theme park in the world.

Some tips when visiting Walt Disney World:

• If you would like to enjoy a Disney experience, you must stay at one of its 30 hotels (from campground sites, value hotels to deluxe hotels and extraordinary villas). They all offer free transportation to all theme parks and areas to enjoy, extra magic hours, in-site stores and restaurants, free shuttle from and to the Orlando International Airport (MCO), and more.
• There are more some other options apart from the four theme parks. Some destinations are: Water parks, Downtown Disney Area, Disney's BoardWalk (one of my favorites), and ESPN Wide World of Sports. 

You can have more options: SeaWorld Orlando, Kennedy Space Center, Busch Gardens (in Tampa), etc. 

Architecture - Paul Valèry: When Buildings Sing

Walt Disney Concert Hall. Frank Gehry. Los Ángeles, CA. USA.



In the kingdom of the dead, Phèdre finds Socrates, lost in contemplation of the River of Time. It reminds him of the memory of the Eupalinos architect, builder of the temple of Artemis, with whom he was bound and succeeded, in his own words, to "sing the buildings." The philosopher is very interested in the evocation of this character, which leads to a reflection on the beauty and insertion necessary in sensitive forms.

“...¿No has observado, al pasearte por esta ciudad, que entre los edificios que la componen, algunos son mudos, otros hablan y otros en fin, los más raros, cantan?... "

Paul Valéry en su obra "Eupalinos ou l´Architecte", en un diálogo entre Fedro y Sócrates.

Art - What is time?

Take a moment and think about time: slow when you are waiting for something/someone really nervously and minutes feel like hours, hours like days, and so on. Quite the opposite, when we are enjoying something and we don't want it to end, time flies! 

In Philosophy, many experts have tried to have an accurate definition on time, but no one has ever really made an exceptional or the most accepted description of it. Here are some interesting quotes about time:

• “How did it get so late so soon?” - Dr. Seuss.
• “Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.” - Mother Teresa.
• “Time is an illusion.”  - Albert Einstein.

Piensa por un momento acerca del tiempo: lento cuando estamos esperando algo o a alguien con ansias y los minutos parecen horas y las horas días, y así puede seguir. Por el contrario, cuando estamos disfrutando algo y no queremos que termine, ¡el tiempo vuela!

En filosofía, muchos expertos han tratado de dar una definición precisa sobre el tiempo, pero, hasta ahora, nadie ha podido tener la descripción más acertada ni la mas aceptada. Aquí algunas citas sobre el tiempo:

• "¿Cómo se hizo tan tarde tan pronto? - Dr. Seuss.
• "El ayer se fue. Mañana todavía no llega. Sólo tenemos el día de hoy. Comencemos." - Madre Teresa de Calcuta.
• "El tiempo es una ilusión". - Albert Einstein.
