Romeo & Juliet





I just did my first Canvas, and it's about Romeo and Juliet. I added some pictures from the movie, like juliet standing on a balcony, a bottle of poison, Romeo and Juliet kissing in the lift.. I also added a song that reminds me a lot of the story, Taylor Swift's Love Story. There are some trailers from diferent movies like Shakespeare in love or Romeo & Juliet starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and some love quotes from the book or quotes from Shakespeare.
Here is the link to see it:

Love quote




I just found this love quote on We Heart It.
"We should love, not fall in love. Because everything that falls, gets broken"
I never heard this before, but it's true.
Why we say that one person FALL in love?
Why isnt's it something like get in love?
I personally think that it is because, when we fall from somewhere, we just fall and you can't do anything to stop it.
Because of this it's like falling in love with someone, when we fall in love with someone, we can't do anything to stop it, it just happen.

International Women's Day





Today, March 8, is the International Working Women's Day. The first day was observed on 28 February 1909 in the United States. In 1910 Clara Zetkin tabled the idea of an Internation Women's Day and it finally was honoured the first time in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland on 19 March.
Now this day is an official holiday Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, China,  Madagascar (only for women), Cuba, Moldova, Montenegro, Russia...
The tradition sees men honouring their mothers, wives, girlfriends, colleagues... with flowers and small gifts. In some countrien this day has the equivalent status of the Mother's Day.

Pyramus and Thisbe

It sounds funny, but I just found out that the famous Romeo and Juliet story from William Shakespeare is a copy. This tragic love story was originally from Ovid ( Publius Ovidius Naso) a long time before Shakespeare even was in the world, in 43 BC. He was an author of classical mythology and the story Pyramus and Thisbe is exactly like Romeo and Juliet.
Pyramus and Thisbe are neighbors, but they families are enemies, so they forbitt the love beetween the two teenagers. Every day they secretly meet at "Ninus", a tomb under a mulberry tree. Thisbe came earlier and she waited for a while under the tree when suddenly appear a lioness, she is horrified and runs away. Then, Pyramus arrives and he sees Thisbe's veil with blood on the ground. He thinks that she was killed, and kill his self with a sword. Thisbe, still horrofied, go back to see Pyramus, but she only finds his dead body and decided to kill herself with the same sword. This all happens under the mulberry tree, which fruits are supposed to be white, but after this tragic story they turned dark to honour the forbidden love.
