Gael Garcia Bernal is a Mixture Of Mexican Charisma And Knack

Critically-renowned actor Gael Garcia Bernal presently embodies the distinct Mexican physical charisma and innate thespic prowess, according to several movie and fashion critics. The Mexican hunk is currently attracting legions of screaming girl fans for his stunning looks and many raving movie critics for his outstanding talent. Thus, it is no surprise that he now sizes up among the fastest rising stars and the next-generation talented actors.

Gael, born in 1978, grew up in the adorable city of Guadalajara and started appearing in Mexican soap operas as one cute teenager. At 19, he migrated to London to take acting lessons at the prestigious Central School of Speech and Drama. After that, Gael broke to international movie glory when he appeared in the 2000 Academy-nominated film "Amores Perros" directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu. It was followed by a much-favored performance in Alfonso Cuaron's master work "Y tu mamá también" in 2001. Gael gave striking acting in his title role in the popular movie "The Crime of Father Amaro," which was Mexico's entry to the 2002 Oscars. Gael then had the fortune to portray the Cuban revolter, Che Guevarra, for the second time in wonderful movie "The Motorcycle Diaries," as the first was in the television miniseries "Fidel."

Having a Fantastic Time in Lavish Monterrey

Monterrey was the last Mexican region where I thought I will be able to have a fantastic time. Few years ago, my wonderful friends from work asked me if I wanted to join them on a amusing trip to Monterrey. Back then, I was very discouraged in going because I really didn't know what to expect from Monterrey since I have not heard of the region 'till that instant. I even told my wonderful friends that I would very much agree to come along if they were going to other Mexican regions like Guadalajara, Cancun, or Mexico City. Looking back, I really could not think of the true reason I was encouraged to come along, but maybe it was out of fear that if I turn them down, I would become the scoundrel in the group.

However, I did go and the whole Monterrey trip changed my first notions about the region. Little did I know that the region looked as modern and civilized as Mexico City. I was told that Monterrey was among the primary business centers and most occupied area in Mexico. There are also multiple attractive sites to visit around Monterrey like the cave system of Grutas de Garcia, the mountain waterfall of Cola de Caballo, and Carretera Nacional. Also, there are multiple stores and restaurants all over Monterrey that offer only the special and most affordable treats. These regions are safe to visit any time of the day, since Monterrey is labeled as the safest Latin America city.

Excellent Mexican Flavor in Guacamole

For colorful jives of flavors and fusions, it is in rich and spicy Mexican recipes that people will find dips and sauces more appealing. The Mexican table is never without the renowned salsa and a variety of other chili sauces and flavorful dips. Even for simple chicken courses or seafood platters, it is the spreads that highly defines the taste. The love for herbs and spices contributed much to the scrumptious character of a Mexican course.

However, aside from the spicy salsa, "guacamole" is a renowned relish as well, not only in potlucks and celebrations, but also even outside Mexico, where people have even added new flavors to this avocado mix. The one I've enjoyed in Mexico is combined with lime juice and a pinch of salt to bring out the natural taste of avocado, while onion, chili peppers, garlic, tomato, and garlic are also part of this scrumptious treat best served with tortillas. The odd-looking spreads definitely got its name from Nahuati AhuacamOlli, where "Ahuacatl" means avocado and "molli" stands for sauce.

Although "guacamole" is mostly considered in U.S. more as a dip for snacks, in Mexico, it may be served in spoonful for any Mexican recipe in need of a little tinge for spicy blend. I would have to admit that at first glance, it was not love at first sight considering the eccentric color and chunks of somewhat unknown flavors. But after giving it a try, hey, all I have to say is hooray to this nice paste!

Chatting About the Color of Authentic Mexican Houses

Now, open a house design magazine and look at the bright colors that replaced the old pallid ones in the before and after page. Most designers advocate that a house must have bright colors rather than pale ones, because the former radiate more energy inside the house and make the area livelier than the latter. What's more, all the colors in the house must blend together---from historic or recent furniture, curtains, flooring, ceiling, to little details on walls; otherwise, the house will be a disaster.

For many centuries, the appearance of a typical Mexican house has been recognized by designers and architects because of its inviting colors which have provided powerful and bright presence. Simply examine the pre-Hispanic pyramids which are painted with bold colors, the stucco ornaments and prismatic murals, the Spanish haciendas which are showered in blue, ochre, and deep red, and the present-day Mexican house awash in pistachio green and watermelon pink---all of which make Mexico's color legacy rich and lasting.

I have been an admirer of Mexican houses because they are very full of life compared to other houses which look like graveyards in their uninteresting colors---gray, white, or brown. That is why whenever I re-do my home paints, I make sure that I get the most bright color fusion for my kitchen, living room, and master's bedroom, courtesy of the wild colors of Mexican houses.
