Kylie Minoque concert in Berlin

Mónica Boixeda Barcelonian, Only-Be

At the age of 41 Kylie Minogue is one of the big pop icons of our time and one of the most famous stars in the world. Maybe that’s because in comparison with other starlets Kylie has been making pure pop music for the past 20 years und continued to reinvent herself without forgetting what her fans love about her. Maybe it is also because she has done her homework and always delivers the best and most innovative shows during her tours. The world tour „Aphrodite – Les Folies“ which starts in Denmark on February 19th will come to Germany on March 1st promises to be one of her best shows. The incredible success of her 11th album Aphrodite was what inspired Kylie to go on tour once again. With the recording of this album which mixes pop, synth and dance music Kylie brings her signature sound. But not everyone was fond of the Diva’s latest release, calling it a cheap rip-off of 90s music. On the other side Kylie has never been famous for an innovative sound, more the opposite, her fans appreciate the classic “Kylie sound.” For more information: http://www.kylie.com/news/kylie-minogue-aphrodite-–-les-folies-tour-2011-uk-tour-dates/?

Away We Go. The latest movie by Sam Mendes

Mónica Boixeda Only-Be, Roman

If you are restless and you like travelling the world….if you never seem to find the right place…then this movie by Sam Mendes might just be what the doctor ordered. With almost 2 years delay the movie is coming to Italy. A movie you could place somewhere between the aesthetic of indie movies and the big Hollywood productions. It is pretty hard to forget American Beauty and all the awards this movie won then. Not only for Mendes as the director but also Alan Ball, the talented script writer. But life and the filmography of this brilliant director continue. Movies like Revolutionary Road, another of his celebrated movies starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio or Jarhead and Road to Perdition. This time around he went without big internationally known actors: John Krasinksi and Maya Rudolph. If American Beauty was side blow against suburban America and the bourgeoisie and Revolutionary Road about the youth that sooner or later ends in a bourgeois life then Away We Go is again about the problems between the generations but this time from a modern point of view. From the eyes of a couple that is looking for a place to settle down. The viewer accompanies them on their journey discovering the most incredible places in the US. Sonia Teruel If you haven’t seen this movie yet, rent apartments in Rome and don’t miss this masterpiece by Sam Mendes, one of the most important directors of our time.?

Brilliant solutions for quotidian problems

Mónica Boixeda Only-Be, Valencian

Every day we are faced with countless decisions, beginning with the most banal, like what we are eating for breakfast, to those that can have drastic effects on our lives. Between thoughts, tasks, memories and inner monologues, mails, calls and all the information that flood our minds, it is often very difficult to concentrate on issues and decisions that require our attention and alertness to address them from the clarity and thus find the optimal solution, that will help us move forward. Because brilliant ideas only arise with our heads loose and sharp, when we are alert and in maximum concentration. However, reaching that state of mind and, therefore, a brilliant solution, it is not impossible. This requires, 1) focusing, 2) wandering around, 3) emptying. Although it sounds like a cryptic formula, steps to follow are simple, but very effective. 1) Concentration: Define your problem and think of those facts about it that are real and true. People involved, when it came, and things that you certainly know that will happen in the future, and the impact that this problem will have on you and other people. This will help you see the problem from a more objective view and, therefore, to develop practical and feasible solutions. 2) Wandering around. Wandering mentally around, meditating, and becoming lost in thought of the problem can be very profitable. When people start to distract their problem with other activities, which must be completely alien to the topic, the brain has the chance to process all the aspects of the problem. 3) Emptying. Your mind needs a break, that is to say, to... read more
