Fabulous...
Ψηλά τακούνια φοράω απόψε για ξενύχτι και χορό
Έχω γυρίσει από την κόλαση και πίσω δεν κοιτώ
Απόψε θα πιω, θα ερωτευτώ, θα κάνω ό,τι θέλω εγώ
Και πάψε να κλαις, αστείες απειλές να στέλνεις απ' το κινητό
Δε θα με πεθάνεις
Θέλω να ζήσω, να ξαναγαπήσω, να 'μαι άνθρωπος κανονικός
Να γελώ και με τους φίλους μου έξω να βγω και να τρέξω
Να φλερτάρω τρελά γιατί
I'm fabulous
Πέρασα κρίση κι από τις στάχτες μου έχω ξαναγεννηθεί
Πάω για Βίσση ν' ακούσω «Τσούλες» και «Αλήτισσα ψυχή»
Θα δεις τώρα πια, δε με σταματά, το σώμα μου πήρε φωτιά
Παλιά μου ζωή, σου βάζω ένα Χ, θα γίνεις το θύμα εσύ
Δε θα με πεθάνεις
Θέλω να ζήσω, να ξαναγαπήσω, να 'μαι άνθρωπος κανονικός
Να γελώ και με τους φίλους μου έξω να βγω και να τρέξω
Να φλερτάρω τρελά γιατί
I'm fabulous
Tick tock, time flies
I can see it in your eyes
The way you look at me
You wanna get with me
Tick tock, don't stop
Yeah, I'm so fabulous
I bet you wanna be
The one that stands by me (?)
Yeah, I'm so fabulous
Θέλω να ζήσω, να ξαναγαπήσω, να 'μαι άνθρωπος κανονικός
Να γελώ και με τους φίλους μου έξω να βγω και να τρέξω
Να φλερτάρω τρελά γιατί

More Guanajuato to the Monumento del Pipila
Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Guanajuato
Antigua parroquia de Guanajuato hasta el año de 1957, en que se le elevó a la categoría de la Basílica. Su construcción se inició en el año de 1771 y se concluyó en 1796, cubriendo todos los costos los mineros del lugar. En el último año citado se llevó a ese templo la imagen de la Virgen de Guanajuato, donde permanece hasta ahora. Antes se encontraba en el llamado templo de los hospitales, que entonces servía de parroquia. Corresponde su arquitectura al barroco manierista del XVII; con esbelta cúpula de igual estilo. Su exterior está circundado por un irregular atrio, de principios del XIX, cercado por columnas que sostienen cruces y macetones alternados y un enrejado de época posterior.
Cuenta con tres puertas de acceso. Cada puerta ostenta una fachada en cantera rosa del barroco manierista, sobresaliendo la fachada principal, sobre la que se erige una torre campanario de tres cuerpos de la misma época y estilo de todo el edificio; además del cubo del reloj se aprecia otra torre de inferiores proporciones y de bello estilo churriguera del siglo XVIII. Al lado del bautisterio y unido a él hay una capilla neoclásica con dos ligeras torres, cuyo estilo choca con el resto del templo. Fue construida entre los años de 1870 y 1878; dedicada a la Virgen de Lourdes.
Uno de los laterales está dedicado a San Nicolás Tolentino, patrono de la minería, y el otro a San Ignacio de Loyola, patrono de la ciudad.
El piso del templo, cuyo original posiblemente era de duela de mezquite, y luego fue de losa, data de 1956 y es de material marmóreo. En el siglo XVIII el marqués de San Clemente edificó un anexo al templo para camarín de la Virgen, el que posteriormente fue acondicionado para bautisterio, contando con una bella pila sacramental y con pinturas de Miguel Cabrera. La imagen de la Virgen de Guanajuato, dice la tradición fue donada por Carlos I o Felipe II. Es una escultura en madera estofada magnífica. Llama la atención la dulce belleza de los rostros de la Virgen y del Niño. Le sirve de base una magnífica y rica peana de plata repujada de estilo barroco, donada en 1737 por José de Sardaneta y Legaspi.
La capilla donde se encuentra el cadáver del padre Jarauta, sirvió en el siglo pasado para guardar los auténticos restos de Santa Faustina Mártir el cuerpo amado de esta santa y de su sangre en polvo, contenida en un bello vaso, fueron adquiridos en Roma por el segundo Conde de Valenciana. Debidamente certificados en la Santa Sede llegaron a la ciudad de México en el año 1803 y fueron puestos a la pública veneración en la capilla particular de la casa del Conde, en la calle de plateros (ahora Madero) de la capital virreinal. En 1812, bajo fe de notario, fueron depositados en la urna que los contiene actualmente. El conde de Valenciana donó el cuerpo y la sangre de Santa Faustina a la parroquia de Guanajuato y se colocaron en 1826 en una capilla cuyo altar fue hecho por el arquitecto Eduardo Tresguerras. En 1907, con motivo del patronato canónico de la Virgen de Guanajuato, los restos de la Santa fueron trasladados al altar mayor.

Mexico: 23 Destinations to Spend the Winter Months --------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Guanajato No. 3 of 23 (this is not a ranking) --------------------------------------- -------------------------------- Guanajuato - Monumento al Pipila - Momento Magico Part 2 of 3 --------------------------------------- ------------------------------- During our 42 day trip in Mexico in search of 23 Destinations to Spend the Winter Months, we visited several outstanding towns which had the official designation as Pueblo Mágico or magic town. That reminds me that on our trip we also had what I would call Momentos Mágicos or magic moments. One of them surely was when as we took the Funicular Panoramico Guanaujuato from behind the Teatro Juarez in the centro historico to Monumento al Pipila. It was a moment we shall never forget as on a brilliantly sunny day we took the funicular high above Guanajuato. As the funicular transported us higher and higher, the beautiful, colourful city spread below our feet. It was surrounded by a very rugged landscape and capped by a beautiful plaza and monument that overlook the city. It was a moment of pure joy similar to what we experienced in Angangueo. That is where the crowd pulled us into a Christmas posada procession, blindfolding us and inviting us to take our whacks at the piñata. A moment like al Pipila this would be lost without the presence of a digital camera and fortunately ours was ready and fully charged to take advantage of the situation, as the many attached photos will attest. Yes, there are too many photos but what the heck; it was after all, a momento magico. El Monumento al Pipila, is the 30-foot-high statue built in 1939 in honour of Juan Jose de los Reyes Martinez who was nicknamed El Pipila. The statue looms over Guanajuato and is a symbol of a defining moment in the Mexican independence movement. In 1810, an army led by the Father of Mexican Independence - Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla invaded Guanajuato. The attack on the Spanish royalists was centered on the town's massive granary - the Allodia de Granaditas. It was the young miner nicknamed El Pipila who heroically took the first step of burning the wooden doors to the granary that led to the first major military victory of the independence movement. The statue shows a strong El Papila holding a torch over his head ready to charge the granary door. The inscription on the statue reads: Aún hay otras Alhóndigas por incendiary (There are still other Alhóndigas to burn). In what can only be described as the ups and downs of life, in 1811 the heads of Father Hidalgo and three of his generals were hanging from the four corners of the same granary. The struggle for independence was left for others to complete. Coming Soon: Guanajuato - Jardin Union and Is Guanajuato the Place for You? Questions/Comments: travelswithlobo@yahoo.com

SUMMARY
=======
The Aztecs () were a Mesoamerican culture that flourished in central Mexico in the post-classic period from 1300 to 1521. The Aztec peoples included different ethnic groups of central Mexico, particularly those groups who spoke the Nahuatl language and who dominated large parts of Mesoamerica from the 14th to the 16th centuries. Aztec culture was organized into city-states (altepetl), some of which joined to form alliances, political confederations, or empires. The Aztec empire was a confederation of three city-states established in 1427, Tenochtitlan, city-state of the Mexica or Tenochca; Texcoco; and Tlacopan, previously part of the Tepanec empire, whose dominant power was Azcapotzalco. Although the term Aztecs is often narrowly restricted to the Mexica of Tenochtitlan, it is also broadly used to refer to Nahua polities or peoples of central Mexico in the prehispanic era, as well as the Spanish colonial era (1521–1821). The definitions of Aztec and Aztecs have long been the topic of scholarly discussion, ever since German scientist Alexander von Humboldt established its common usage in the early nineteenth century.Most ethnic groups of central Mexico in the post-classic period shared basic cultural traits of Mesoamerica, and so many of the traits that characterize Aztec culture cannot be said to be exclusive to the Aztecs. For the same reason, the notion of Aztec civilization is best understood as a particular horizon of a general Mesoamerican civilization. The culture of central Mexico includes maize cultivation, the social division between nobility (pipiltin) and commoners (macehualtin), a pantheon (featuring Tezcatlipoca, Tlaloc and Quetzalcoatl), and the calendric system of a xiuhpohualli of 365 days intercalated with a tonalpohualli of 260 days. Particular to the Mexica of Tenochtitlan was the patron God Huitzilopochtli, twin pyramids, and the ceramic ware known as Aztec I to IV.From the 13th century, the Valley of Mexico was the heart of dense population and the rise of city-states. The Mexica were late-comers to the Valley of Mexico, and founded the city-state of Tenochtitlan on unpromising islets in Lake Texcoco, later becoming the dominant power of the Aztec Triple Alliance or Aztec Empire. It was a tributary empire that expanded its political hegemony far beyond the Valley of Mexico, conquering other city states throughout Mesoamerica in the late post-classic period. It originated in 1427 as an alliance between the city-states Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, and Tlacopan; these allied to defeat the Tepanec state of Azcapotzalco, which had previously dominated the Basin of Mexico. Soon Texcoco and Tlacopan were relegated to junior partnership in the alliance, with Tenochtitlan the dominant power. The empire extended its reach by a combination of trade and military conquest. It was never a true territorial empire controlling a territory by large military garrisons in conquered provinces, but rather dominated its client city-states primarily by installing friendly rulers in conquered territories, by constructing marriage alliances between the ruling dynasties, and by extending an imperial ideology to its client city-states. Client city-states paid tribute to the Aztec emperor, the Huey Tlatoani, in an economic strategy limiting communication and trade between outlying polities, making them dependent on the imperial center for the acquisition of luxury goods. The political clout of the empire reached far south into Mesoamerica conquering polities as far south as Chiapas and Guatemala and spanning Mesoamerica from the Pacific to the Atlantic oceans.
The empire reached its maximal extent in 1519, just prior to the arrival of a small group of Spanish conquistadors led by Hernán Cortés. Cortés allied with city-states opposed to the Mexica, particularly the Nahuatl-speaking Tlaxcalteca as well as other central Mexican polities, including Texcoco, its former ally in the Trip ...

SUMMARY
=======
Mexico (Spanish: México [ˈmexiko] (listen); Nahuatl languages: Mēxihco), officially the United Mexican States (Spanish: Estados Unidos Mexicanos, listen ), is a country in the southern portion of North America. It is bordered to the north by the United States; to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean; to the southeast by Guatemala, Belize, and the Caribbean Sea; and to the east by the Gulf of Mexico. Covering almost 2,000,000 square kilometres (770,000 sq mi), the nation is the fifth largest country in the Americas by total area and the 13th largest independent state in the world. With an estimated population of over 120 million people, the country is the eleventh most populous state and the most populous Spanish-speaking state in the world, while being the second most populous nation in Latin America after Brazil. Mexico is a federation comprising 31 states and Mexico City, a special federal entity that is also the capital city and its most populous city. Other metropolises in the state include Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puebla, Toluca, and Tijuana.
Pre-Columbian Mexico dates to about 8000 BC and is identified as one of five cradles of civilization and was home to many advanced Mesoamerican civilizations such as the Olmec, Toltec, Teotihuacan, Zapotec, Maya, and Aztec before first contact with Europeans. In 1521, the Spanish Empire conquered and colonized the territory from its politically powerful base in Mexico-Tenochtitlan (part of Mexico City), which was administered as the viceroyalty of New Spain.

SUMMARY
=======
Mexico (Spanish: México [ˈmexiko] ( listen); Nahuatl languages: Mēxihco), officially the United Mexican States (Spanish: Estados Unidos Mexicanos, listen ), is a federal republic in the southern portion of North America. It is bordered to the north by the United States; to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean; to the southeast by Guatemala, Belize, and the Caribbean Sea; and to the east by the Gulf of Mexico. Covering almost 2,000,000 square kilometres (770,000 sq mi), the nation is the fifth largest country in the Americas by total area and the 13th largest independent state in the world. With an estimated population of over 120 million people, the country is the eleventh most populous state and the most populous Spanish-speaking state in the world, while being the second most populous nation in Latin America after Brazil. Mexico is a federation comprising 31 states and Mexico City, a special federal entity that is also the capital city and its most populous city. Other metropolises in the state include Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puebla, Toluca, and Tijuana.
Pre-Columbian Mexico dates to about 8000 BC and is identified as one of five cradles of civilization and was home to many advanced Mesoamerican civilizations such as the Olmec, Toltec, Teotihuacan, Zapotec, Maya, and Aztec before first contact with Europeans. In 1521, the Spanish Empire conquered and colonized the territory from its politically powerful base in Mexico-Tenochtitlan (part of Mexico City), which was administered as the viceroyalty of New Spain. Three centuries later, the territory became a nation state following its recognition in 1821 after the colony's Mexican War of Independence. The post-independence period was tumultuous, characterized by economic inequality and many contrasting political changes. The Mexican–American War (1846–1848) led to a territorial cession of the extant northern territories to the United States. The Pastry War, the Franco-Mexican War, a civil war, two empires, and the Porfiriato occurred in the 19th century. The Porfiriato was ended by the start of the Mexican Revolution in 1910, which culminated with the promulgation of the 1917 Constitution and the emergence of the country's current political system as a democratic republic.
