Waching daily May 2 2018

Ten years ago, having beaten Osasuna 2-1 at the Reyno de Navarra stadium, Real Madrid were proclaimed

champions of LaLiga 2007/2008.

It was the thirty-first time Los Blancos had won the League championship.

It was an epic victory for los blancos. There was a hostile atmosphere at the Reyno de Navarra

10 seconds into the second half, with the score at 0-0, Cannavaro was shown a red card.

With 7 minutes to go and all signs pointing to a goalless draw, Puñal kept the league open by scoring

But first Robben then Higuaín turned things round and delivered up LaLiga title.

Villarreal did their best to stop the inevitable. Thanks to Nihat's fifth brace of the season

they practically guaranteed themselves the second spot.

The Turkish player had now scored 17 times and inspired the yellow submarine to their best ever finish in LaLiga.

Barça didn't slip up either. They thrashed Valencia 6-0, equalling their best ever result against Los Ches.

Goals from Messi, Xavi and a brace from Henry and Bojan helped the Catalan club recover their spirits

days before visiting the Santiago Bernabéu.

The downside for Rijkaard was the yellow cards shown to Eto'o and Deco, which meant

neither player would be eligible for El Clásico.

Dani Güiza and Ignacio Camacho were the other stand out players from the Matchday.

The Mallorcan striker got a brace at the San Mamés making him top scorer with 24 goals.

Meanwhile the young Atletico Madrid player got his first goals in LaLiga with two strikes against Recreativo;

bringing his team into contention for the Champions League.

Finally, Murcia bade farewell to LaLiga after their defeat in Santander.

Despite being 2-0 up after half an hour, a goal from Jorge López and two from Munitis

meant Javier Clemente's side were mathematically relegated.

Historical/XVIIth Century - GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING by Tracy Chevalier (ESP audio | ENG/ESP subs) - Duration: 7:31.

Girl, get pretty and pose over there; I'll paint you a portrait that'll make people

shit bricks. (Like this?) Eh... act natural.

No, not like... Try turning to the other side.

No, wait... put your hand down. Cock your head, but...

Bah, you artists are impossible to understand!

Hi people! Today I'll talk about a book I read long ago, being

still a young girl, and one I really liked.

It's GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING by Tracy Chevalier.

I tried this style but, as you can see, this girl in the painting looks great

while I look like I just ran away from a hospital.

The book was written in 1999, and here's the synopsis.

"In the second half of XVIIth century, Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer immortalized a beautiful girl

wearing a turban and a pearl earring.

Her lips seem to sugest a sensual smile, but her eyes gleam with

the deepest sadness. Known as "the Dutch Mona Lisa," behind this

enigmatic face hides Griet, a 16-year-old girl from humble upbringing

who enters the artist's home as a housemaid for

a meager salary. Her extraordinary sensibility and the care she puts

in everything she touches draw the master's attention, who slowly introduces her to his world,

a paradise filled with magical light and feminine creatures of

singular beauty. GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING is a story of fascination, of

the birth of a feeling that rocks between admiration

and love. The light in the eyes of Griet, the servant turned into a muse, holds

the mystery behind the creation of a masterpiece.

Tracy Chevalier conjures the daily life in the Dutch XVIIth century in this beautiful

novel about the awakening to life and art."

To those unfamiliar with art, do you remember those yummy yoghourts

of La Lechera (Spanish brand), presented by that woman with a bonnet

and a yellow bodice pouring milk in a... yes? Here it is. Indeed,

Vermeer painted that, and that same room appears a lot in this novel, because

that's where he worked and painted his stuff. He used the light entering through

the windows to work. So, Griet is a

16-year-old girl with a family, a shy, yet hardworking girl

who wants to help her family. Since their economic

situation is precarious, she starts working as a housemaid

in the painter's house. He's a distant man

who minds his business; the mistress, Vermeer's wife, is a bit funny in the head,

a jealous, weird woman... and the kids are alright, except for one little girl,

one of Vermeer's daughters, who hates Griet and

is always trying to get her in trouble. But well, Griet puts up with all of this

to earn money for her family. One day, the painter notices Griet and feels

curious, because he catches her putting vegetables on a plate,

and he sees that she's placed them

following a rainbow order, by colors. So he approaches her and says:

"Hey, why do you place your vegetables like that? That's not the order in which they're added to the soup"

Griet says "Because otherwise colors fight each other." And he gets lost in thought,

and then tells her "Come to my attic," and begins to show her

his painting process. Griet is so excited,

because she's always had a strange sensibility for colors and

light, but could never pay attention to it. Back then, you could have

artistic talent, but one had to work, and it rarely was

where you wanted. She's so curious

and talented, so Vermeer is glad to have someone, some kind of pupil

to share techniques and ideas with; someone to talk with

about art. All in secret, though, to keep

Vermeer's wife from finding out, because she wouldn't understand and she's already

a bit jealous of Griet, since she's a young girl. Yeah, the Mistress is

a bit paranoid.

And well, if she comes to know that the painter is hanging with the housemaid,

even if it's only to talk about shared interests,

she'll kick Griet out, and the girl better keep the secret,

because she really enjoys Vermeer's teachings and she

needs this job. So there's that: daily life in Holland, imagine,

here's an old painting to give you an idea of the setting. You see

the wide canals, these houses with red roofs,

really spiky roofs, because it rains and snows a lot in there, so they must have

very sharp roofs to make rain and snow flow down. It's not like here

in Spain, where our roofs are rather plain.

This book tells a very pretty, relaxed story about two people

who find a common passion and enjoy spending time together.

But they cannot be together, even just as friends, because

they belong to different social classes, so there's

no balance in power. They just can't, no matter what they wish. That's how

society worked back then. In 2003 they made a movie adaptation, I watched it

after reading the book and thought it was pretty neat and accurate, quite

well-done. Scarlett Johansson was Griet;

she was eyebrow-less and lipstick-less and she really looked like Griet,

like the girl in the painting. Vermeer was played by Colin Firth, you know,

Mr Darcy from Pride and Prejudice, that guy from Kingsman... Yep, that one.

There were more famous actors; the music was by Alexandre Desplat...

Yeah, a pretty good movie. Sometimes they put it on afternoon TV,

so if you ever catch it on, I recommend you to sit

and watch it. It's gorgeous and true to the book.

That was today's video. I hope you liked

the book. See you next week!

Thank you so much for watching me again. Bye-bye! :D
