  1. Año Bisiesto 💕📆💍 | Reseña Personal 💻✍🏻 | [Spa|Eng]@rakel14061224d

    Chicas, ¿Pedirían la mano de sus novios o parejas, en matrimonio?

    Girls, would you ask for your boyfriends' or partners' hand in marriage?

    Esta pregunta me la planteé una vez, después de ver Año Bisiesto (Tenías que ser tú) en el 2010, del género de comedia romántica.

    Y actualmente la respuesta sigue siendo la misma, es no. No por ninguna ideología de género ni nada de eso, creo que si hubiera sido hombre estuviera en la misma situación de ahora.

    En la de no haber hecho ninguna propuesta de matrimonio, ni para noviazgo, ni para un beso si quiera jajajaja. No soy de pedir y ya es algo personal, aún cuando se trate de la fuerza motora más poderosa del mundo, el amor.

    Hasta ahora, ni si quiera le he pedido a ningún enamorado un beso, tan sólo hacer esa pregunta, ¿Te puedo dar un beso? Es algo que no existe en mi vocablo.

    I asked myself this question once, after watching Leap Year (It had to be you) in 2010, of the romantic comedy genre.

    And currently the answer is still the same, it's no. Not because of any gender ideology or anything like that, I think if I had been a man I would be in the same situation as I am now.

    In the one of not having made any marriage proposal, not for courtship, not even for a kiss hahahaha. I'm not one to ask and it's a personal thing, even when it comes to the most powerful driving force in the world, love.

    So far, I have not even asked any lover for a kiss, just to ask that question, Can I give you a kiss? It is something that does not exist in my vocabulary.

    Desde que tengo uso de razón me ha costado pedir alguna cosa, en lo personal, prefiero obtenerlo por mi propia cuenta. Para este tipo de casos, jamás pedí besos, simplemente los daba.

    Si quería que algún chico fuera mi novio, no se lo pedía, esperaba o me las inventaba. Si ese chico tardaba en hacerlo, simplemente me retiraba. Nunca fui tras un chico.

    Para mi suerte, siempre lograba lo que quería sin necesidad de pedirlo. Pero una vez sí perdí por no pedir.

    Lo bueno es que soy buena perdedora en el amor, así que en esa única vez que perdí, aprendí a vivir con ello rápido y pase la página sin más.

    Definitivamente no me gusta pedir, y hablo en todos los aspectos. Me cuesta mucho, y aunque a veces no tengo más remedio que hacerlo, lo hago con mucho esfuerzo. Pero por amor, prefiero perder que pedir jajajaja. Por suerte soy mujer y no hombre.

    Ya que la sociedad ha puesto ese peso y esa responsabilidad en ellos, sino anduviera sufriendo cada vez que me hubiera tocado pedir un beso, una mano, iniciar un compromiso amoroso, etc.

    For as long as I can remember, it has been hard for me to ask for anything, personally, I prefer to get it on my own. For this type of cases, I never asked for kisses, I just gave them.

    If I wanted a guy to be my boyfriend, I didn't ask for it, I waited or I made it up. If that boy was slow to do so, I simply withdrew. I never went after a guy.

    Luckily for me, I always got what I wanted without asking for it. But once I did lose by not asking.

    The good thing is that I'm a good loser in love, so that one time I lost, I learned to live with it fast and turned the page just like that.

    I definitely don't like to ask, and I'm talking across the board. It costs me a lot, and even though sometimes I have no choice but to do it, I do it with a lot of effort. But for love, I'd rather lose than ask hahahaha. Luckily I am a woman and not a man.

    Since society has put that weight and responsibility on them, otherwise I would be suffering every time I would have to ask for a kiss, a hand, to initiate a love commitment, etc.

    Quizá fuera un chico malo, que mejor esperara que las chicas dieran ese primer paso para librarme de ese compromiso que es el de pedir y ser quien dé la respuesta, así no pasaría por chascos jajaja o momentos bochornosos.

    No me gusta que me digan no. Por esa razón no me veo preguntando si aceptan casarse conmigo jajajaja. Al menos que me dé igual y ahí si lo haría, pero si sé que la respuesta me afectaría emocionalmente, jamás lo haría.

    Protejo mucho mis emociones y más aún mi ego, quizá sea un defecto pero me ha ayudado de mucho. Tampoco es que haya ido por la vida perdiendo a causa de esto, así que hoy puedo decir que ha valido la pena.

    Admiro las agallas de todos los hombres y mujeres que han dado ese primer paso, amando o estando enamorados, estado en el que somos muy vulnerables emocionalmente. Realmente son muy valientes.

    Pero yo paso 😂🤭. Sí puedo ser espontánea y escribir primero, hablar primero, pero nunca pidiendo nada. Sólo dejo que las cosas fluyan y ya. Las hago sin pedir, puedo hacer todo mientras no amerite pedirlo.

    Or maybe I was a bad boy, I would wait for the girls to take that first step to get rid of that commitment that is to ask and be the one who gives the answer, so I would not go through disappointments hahaha or embarrassing moments.

    I don't like to be told no. For that reason I don't see myself asking if they agree to marry me hahahaha. Unless I don't care and then I would, but if I know that the answer would affect me emotionally, I would never do it.

    I protect my emotions and even more my ego, maybe it's a defect but it has helped me a lot. It's not like I've gone through life losing because of it either, so today I can say it was worth it.

    I admire the guts of all the men and women who have taken that first step, loving or being in love, a state in which we are very vulnerable emotionally. They really are very brave.

    But I pass 😂🤭. Yes I can be spontaneous and write first, talk first, but never asking for anything. I just let things flow and that's it. I do them without asking, I can do everything as long as it doesn't warrant asking.

    Así que en los personajes de la película Año Bisiesto, me identifiqué mucho con ambos.

    Con Declan, papel interpretado por el apuesto actor Matthew Goode, porque a veces soy brusca para el amor, puede que dé señales, hasta demostraciones, pero aunque ame o quiera, prefiero dejar ir a pedir.

    Declan, además de ser brusco, es sarcástico, en algunas ocasiones malvado ya que suele aprovecharse de la ingenuidad de Anna de Boston como le dice él a Anna Brady en una de las escenas, para burlarse de ella y hacer reír a otros.

    Sin embargo, todo eso suele ser un caparazón que usa para proteger sus emociones, ya que es sumamente sensible a ella y además de eso, amable. Aunque a veces no lo quiera reconocer.

    So in the characters of the movie Leap Year, I identified a lot with both of them.

    With Declan, role played by the handsome actor Matthew Goode, because sometimes I am rough for love, I may give signs, even demonstrations, but even if I love or want, I prefer to let go to ask.

    Declan, besides being brusque, is sarcastic, sometimes mean-spirited as he often takes advantage of Anna's naivety from Boston as he says to Anna Brady in one of the scenes, to tease her and make others laugh.

    However, all of that is usually a shell he uses to protect his emotions, as he is extremely sensitive to her and besides that, kind. Although sometimes she doesn't want to admit it.

    Todo lo contrario a Anna Brady, que por cierto es interpretado por la bella de Encantada, la actriz Amy Adams.

    Para ella es evidente lo fácil y hasta lo divertido y romántico que puede llegar hacer el proponerle matrimonio a su novio.

    Quienes ya llevan juntos varios años, y nunca le ha pedido para casarse. Aún cuando ella le ha colocado una que otra señal.

    Pero después de hablar con su padre antes de un viaje, se le mete la idea en la cabeza de ser ella quien dé ese primer paso, basando sus ilusiones en una costumbre irlandesa.

    En el que cada 29 de febrero, una mujer puede proponerle matrimonio a su pareja con la certeza de que no será rechazada, esto ocurre cada cuatro años. Y se les llama Año Bisiesto.

    Sí que tiene agallas, más aún esperanzas e ilusiones. Su personaje es súper romántico e ingenuo y eso le da un toque gracioso a la película, ya que aunque suele parecer algo torpe es muy inteligente y eso la hace darse cuenta de varias cosas que a la final la vuelven decisiva.

    Aunque en ocasiones me reí por lo torpe que puede llegar hacer Anna, en las primeras escenas.

    Ya que es la parte en la que me identifico con Anna, porque cosas similares me han pasado jajajaja 😂 y a veces he sido tan torpe que irrito a los demás pero me lo tomo sin mucha importancia.

    Quite the opposite of Anna Brady, who by the way is played by the beauty of Enchanted, actress Amy Adams.

    For her it is evident how easy and even fun and romantic it can be to propose to her boyfriend.

    They have been together for several years now, and he has never asked her to marry him. Even though she has given him the occasional sign.

    But after talking to her father before a trip, she gets the idea in her head to be the one to take that first step, basing her illusions on an Irish custom.

    In which every February 29, a woman can propose marriage to her partner with the certainty that she will not be rejected, this happens every four years. And they are called Leap Year.

    Yes she has guts, even more hopes and illusions. Her character is super romantic and naive and that gives a funny touch to the movie, because although she usually seems a little clumsy she is very intelligent and that makes her realize several things that in the end make her decisive.

    Although at times I laughed at how clumsy Anna can be, in the first scenes.

    Since it's the part where I identify with Anna, because similar things have happened to me hahahaha 😂 and sometimes I've been so clumsy that I irritate others but I take it without much importance.

    Esta película, aunque tuvo muchas críticas, que por cierto una de ellas fue el tema del feminismo, es toda una aventura y una comedía romántica que en alguna que otra escena te enganchará y te hará sentir esas sensaciones que los personajes viven en la película.

    Eso es bueno, porque aunque hayan momentos que irritan un poco, hay también así mismo partes de la película que te atrapan y te hacen sentir lo que estás viendo en escena en ese momento.

    Hay mucha comedia estúpida, por así decirlo, que aunque en la realidad me irrite verlo, verla en una película me causa mucha gracia.

    Así que disfruté mucho viéndola.

    Cuando todo parece ir de malas, suceden cosas que las vuelven aún peor. Hacemos cosas o tomamos decisiones que camino a ello, todo se torna gris y se convierte en un caos.

    No lo vemos mientras vamos camino a ello, algunas veces no préstamos atención a las señales que la vida nos pone en el camino.

    This movie, although it had many criticisms, one of them was the feminism issue, it is an adventure and a romantic comedy that in some scenes will hook you and make you feel those feelings that the characters live in the movie.

    That's good, because although there are moments that irritate a little, there are also parts of the film that catch you and make you feel what you are seeing in the scene at that moment.

    There's a lot of stupid comedy, so to speak, that even though in reality it irritates me to see it, seeing it in a movie makes me laugh a lot.

    So I really enjoyed watching it.

    When everything seems to be going bad, things happen that make it even worse. We do things or make decisions that on the way to it, everything turns gray and becomes chaos.

    We don't see it while we are on the way to it, sometimes we don't pay attention to the signs that life puts in our way.

    Pero como siempre dicen, después de una gran tormenta siempre llega la calma y es verdad.

    A pesar de que creemos que todo está perdido, no debemos aferrarnos a eso que tanto hemos esperado, ya que lo que viene para uno, viene y ya.

    No hay que forzarlo, más aún cuando le hemos puesto tantas ganas y tanto esfuerzo de nuestra parte.

    Hay muchos patanes como el personaje de Jeremy (Adam Scott), que sólo están por su propio bien e interés común y nada más. Lo demás son solo piezas para su camino al éxito y cuando hay hombres así, es mejor pasar la página y seguir.

    Aunque algunas veces duela aceptarlo, hay que tomar en cuenta que no somos piezas de nadie, somos seres importantes que solos o acompañados podemos brillar y alcanzar el éxito.

    Pienso que si buscamos una pareja es para avanzar aún más, es para compartir los gustos, disgustos, sueños, derrotas, metas, fracasos, triunfos, etc., Y no para que nos retenga o nos vea como una pieza a la cual presumir para aumentar su propio ego y sus propios beneficios.

    Algunas veces en medio de un desastre, decepción o cansancio amoroso, llega esa persona que la vida te la pondrá de una forma u otra, de la manera en que menos lo esperas.

    But as they always say, after a big storm always comes the calm and it is true.

    Even though we believe that everything is lost, we should not cling to what we have been waiting for so long, because what comes for you, comes and that's it.

    We should not force it, especially when we have put so much desire and so much effort on our part.

    There are many louts like Jeremy's character (Adam Scott), who are only there for their own good and common interest and nothing else. The rest are just pieces to their path to success and when there are men like that, it's best to turn the page and move on.

    Although sometimes it hurts to accept it, we must take into account that we are not pieces of anyone, we are important beings that alone or accompanied we can shine and achieve success.

    I think that if we look for a partner is to advance even more, is to share the likes, dislikes, dreams, defeats, goals, failures, triumphs, etc., And not to hold us or see us as a piece to show off to increase their own ego and their own benefits.

    Sometimes in the middle of a disaster, disappointment or love fatigue, comes that person that life will put it to you in one way or another, in the way you least expect it.

    Esa persona será esa calma después de la tormenta porque estará contigo en medio de ella para sin notarlo, sacarte de ahí aunque sea de manera inconsciente, porque la vida ha girado a favor de ti.

    Él o ella estará ahí, te verá lucir patética o patético y aún así, sentirá que eres la persona más maravillosa, estupenda y estúpidamente perfecta que ha conocido en su vida, ya sea por casualidad o destino.

    Personalmente esto es lo que inspira esta película y me parece muy bonita y divertida.

    Declan, le dejó una pregunta sin responder al momento a Anna. (Parafraseando) Si tu casa o departamento se incendiara y tuvieras 60 segundos para sacar algo, ¿Qué sacarías primero?

    Siempre debemos poner a prueba está pregunta, y no se refiere con tener que incendiar un lugar para ver qué sacamos o que sacaría esa persona con la que vamos a estar.

    Sino que debemos estar seguros de que realmente somos importantes para esa persona y de que esa persona lo sea para uno. Sino es mejor dejar ir.

    Esta película tendrá uno que otro guión cliché, pero es una buena comedia romántica que es buena para distraerse y salir de esas rutinas diarias que a veces nos consumen.

    That person will be that calm after the storm because he or she will be with you in the middle of it to unnoticed, pull you out of it even if unconsciously, because life has turned in your favor.

    He or she will be there, see you looking pathetic or pathetic and still feel that you are the most wonderful, stupendous and stupidly perfect person he or she has ever met in his or her life, whether by chance or fate.

    Personally this is what inspires this movie and I find it very cute and funny.

    Declan, left a question unanswered at the moment to Anna. (Paraphrasing) If your house or apartment caught fire and you had 60 seconds to get something out, what would you get out first?

    We should always test this question, and it doesn't refer to having to set a place on fire to see what we take out or what the person we are going to be with would take out.

    Rather, we should be sure that we are really important to that person and that person is important to us. Otherwise it is better to let go.

    This movie will have one or two cliché scripts, but it is a good romantic comedy that is good to distract and get out of those daily routines that sometimes consume us.

  2. Thoughts about the Leap Year —a movie from 2010@travelingmercies1887d
    Before, movies for me were treats I'd like to enjoy —watch with my friends and family, alone, and while I do some other tasks in school. I enjoyed watching chick flick movies that have stories where you don't have to read between the lines, trying to uncover some hidden meaning. Just simple boy meets girl and they lived happily ever after, a somewhat real version of the the Cinderalla story I grew up in. Even now, I still enjoy watching this genre because it's easy to watch and light for the heart and mind.

    One of my go-to chick flick movies is Leap Year, a movie from 2010 and directed by Anand Tucker. There's really nothing special with the love story of Anna (Amy Adams) and Declan (Matthew Goode) for me. Anna who was supposed to propose to her boyfriend Jeremy (Adam Scott) got into a series of unfortunate events on her way to Dublin, Ireland. Anna met Declan and asked for his help to go from Cork to Dublin. Their journey led them to get to know each other and eventually fall in love with each other. Most viewers didn't receive this movie well, for many reasons that are also obvious for me. But here are some good things I'd like to share about this decade-old movie. Maybe, you would want to watch something easy and light too.

    The beauty of Ireland graces the setting

    My dream country is Ireland, my want to visit this beautiful country started when I watched this movie. The cliffs, stone walls, mountains and old castles are just some on my list of the things that I want to see in Ireland when I go there someday. I've seen a lot of movies and TV shows that showcase the beauty of Ireland's landscape but this movie is still such a gold mine!



    Time is not the only measure of love

    These two met like the universe conspired. Anna was from Boston who wanted to propose to his boyfriend who attended a convention in Dublin. All of Anna's reroute led her to Cork, where Declan ran his pub that is about to close for good. Despite their obvious indifferences, the two agreed on a journey to Dublin, as it would benefit each other. Anna was a foreigner, who needed direction; and Declan, a local, who needed money to run his pub.


    How can a year-long relationship be beaten by a few days of keeping company and trying not to kill each other because of indifferences? Is it really just in the movies? Or is it because Jeremy and Anna didn’t really know each other in the year(s) they were together. Love can be of different forms, sometimes, it can also be gone. You can love something for so long and you don't know what tomorrow holds, maybe that love could just disappear. What's great about real love for me is that it is beyond the measure of time, it chooses to stay to what is worth keeping.

    There is no grander job

    Anna is an apartment stager, Jeremy is a cardiologist, and Declan is an innkeeper and a chef. The movie shows tailored jobs which are common in the western culture. Jobs in the society can be as specific as Anna's task of turning apartments into exhibits to help owners determine what would they like their apartment to look like. It suites her character —a woman who is very precise, keen to details, driven, and decisive.

    During the time when Declan and Anna were on their way to Dublin, Anna might have been telling Declan that her boyfriend, Jeremy, is an excellent cardiologist. Maybe she was just proud of how excellent he is with his job, but the sound of the word cardiologist rings a grand job to everyone's ears. Is it a grand job? For me, yes. But is it a grander job than what Declan or what Anna does for a living? No. Declan had a setback in the start of the movie, but he strived to get back on his feet. He took responsibility of his misfortunes and went back to do his job again, excellently too.


    And by the way, today is Labor Day. May this be a reminder for all of us to see each work as important as the other. The work we do is sometimes used by other people to judge our character, that shouldn't be the norm. Each person is much more than his/her job. Whatever work you do (that is not of any harm to other people), give yourself a pat on the shoulder, you're doing a great [grand] job!
