A Little Part of Me

"Que Linda Manita"

Sick, tired, and restless... my bf and I spent our Valentine's Day in our bedroom watching movies. Yes, I got weary. And yes, we both wanted to do other things, but nothing was worth getting out of bed for. So we popped in the gift he gave me (Paris, je t'aime) and let time pass us by. And I woke up softly singing a lullaby. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it to put on my play list, but watch the movie and you'll see what I mean.

To give you a little insight, the film has several different directors shooting multiple shorts about love. Some were comical and enlightening while others were dramatic and heartbreaking. But this one hit a little close to home.

This particular story shows a woman caring for a child in the same way she would her own. And though I have no children and may never feel what it feels like to be called, "Mom..." I feel as a mother would for the few that I consider to be a little part of me.









Spanish Lyrics:

Qué linda manita que tengo yo,
qué linda y blanquita que Dios me dio
Qué lindos ojitos que tengo yo,
qué lindos y negritos que Dios me dio
Qué linda boquita que tengo yo,
qué linda y rojita que Dios me dio
Qué lindas patitas que tengo yo,
qué lindas y gorditas que Dios me dio

English Lyrics:

What a pretty little hand have I
How pretty and white this that God gave me
What pretty little eyes have I
How pretty and black these that God gave me
What a pretty little mouth have I
How pretty and red this that God gave me
What pretty little feet have I
How pretty and chubby these that God gave me

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.

Love Is Not Blind

"Colorblind" - Counting Crows I originally had a Dave Matthews Band song in my head, but like always I'm bending the rules a little bit and going with what's in my heart. After all, I couldn't follow my last blog with something you didn't like, could I? That just wouldn't fit and this seems to do just that. This song reminds me of the movie Cruel Intentions . It's hard not to think of it. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's chemistry was so strong, especially in their steamy love scene with this song playing in the background, that any other memory pales in comparison. I always thought the lyrics were so simple and romantic, but it became even clearer here. There was no doubt about it. I knew instantly that they were a real life couple even before they announced it. Love is obvious. Acting can never really be this good unless two people have genuine feelings for each. Look at Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook and Angelina Jolie ...
