viernes pasado, I had a spanish themed sort of day... I started by going to the Mud Room in Suburban square to make un regalo para/por tia de mi amiga... it was related to the spaniards porque of its Catholic-themed... I painted an icon of Madonna and Child on a plate. I hope it turns out right, especially the colors...
despues I went to the ciudad, specifically el centro, and met con mi amiga en Starbux (I didn't get any drinks just a spinach and queso sconce). Coincidentally, we watched a pelicula called "Goya's Ghost" which is about the Spanish Inquisition during the famous Spanish painter's life Fransisco Goya... I thought this movie was going to be focusing on how Goya worked but instead it focused on the events which inspired Goya's paintings and drawings of violence/pain and ugliness... it was chistosa when I remembered what my Art history teacher said about Goya's realistic depiction of the royal family... in the movie everybody kept pointing out how they were ugly and funny looking, I laughed in my mind...
the movie ended cerca a las siete, so mi amiga y yo went to the restaurante, Cebu, they served Filipino cuisine with a "Spanish" flair. My friend just felt like going there... nothing was planned, un dia espanol just happened. Serendipty.
