La Fea Más Bella #231 3/14/07 Around the countryside in 80 seconds, and around Manhattan in 80 feet...hmmm
Fer tells Omar that he has to go up in a balloon too, to follow them and to continue with the mission. He reminds Fer that he got dizzy riding horses when they were kids, and that since they were kids Fer has always blackmailed him with their friendship. He calls him a blackmailer and fine he’ll go up too, for friendship.
Ok, as I'm posting this I can't help but notice the below post re Soler. Huh? I'm floored. I'll have to review that in the morning. How bizarre!!
Ummm, ok, if you saw all those weird codes and stuff, I don't know what to say other than maybe my cats conspired against me before I turned off my computer, or the Gremlins returned with the 80's revival. No idea...sorry about that and hope it's fixed. Told you I've been battling with blogger of late... :)

Thank you Fernando for not falling for "Hoochie Carla"'s blatant advances. My God, she was all over him. She just took every opportunity she could to touch him or lay her head on him. She just met him. Who would act that way with a man they just met.
Also I hear people saying they saw this episode and that episode on youtube?? I look at you tube and i get 60 second videos. I don't see episodes of anything. Also the videos stop/start/stop/start, is that supposed to happen.
And that white sweater that Lety had on, I think that my grandmother had one just like it.
Also, poor Omar. I got the feeling he really was sick!
Crazy psycho Carla! Fern should run for his life.
Alicia as president? Tomas and Lopez are in heaven. I wonder what disaster will take place before Lety gets back.
Alpo and sanitary pads? I wonder what they do? Improve your psychic mood in the tough times? He could have a goldmine there!

I'm also very puzzled at Lety and Aldo's change of clothing and their willingness to wander about the countryside when they have business back at Conceptos. Of course, business never stopped any Concepto employee from goofing off.
That whole Aldo recap of his wife's discontent and death--why??!! He already told Lety all that stuff, so I guess it's just to bring latecomers up to date.
I agree, Omar should remember to use the binoc's neck strap. The whole balloon ride was just more filler, although funny in spots.
I wish that Carla lady would take her hands off of Fern but it is good to see him resist a woman while Lety resists another man. Very well done Ocampo (I've noticed everyone bashes this person when they are unhappy, I thought she was just the director or something, not a writer, am I wrong?) And, a final note on Fernando's heartfelt tears and crazy actions: It's about time. Lety cried for ages before the meeting, now it's his turn. I am really sad that I started watching the show right when Fernando got jelous of Tomas and followed him and Lety. I never got to see the really great love scenes, except through flashbacks and the credits. Please everyone, keep talking about them so I can experience their good times vicarously!

What's with this "
If I support Empty Paras.........stuff.
It's hard enough to keep up with the recaps and languages and then you throw this kind of jazz at us.
Am I the only stupid person in the world that doesn't get it?
What did happen between the fireworks and morning? Seems like the fireworks softened Lety. Let's hope it didnt' impress her that much.
Alicia as President!! Can you imagine working for someone like Alicia?
I never thought about Alicia having a dream Julie. That makes sense.
Her routine was very funny when she walked in. She is a good comedic actress.
Carrie L.
Thank you for the great job you do.

Most of the clips on YouTube are short. Sometimes I see an episode cut into several parts. If your video stream is starting and stopping it is probably because you have a slow connection (dial-up).
Omar and binoculars walking into the window had me screaming with laughter. I have really come to like the character even with his weaknesses he is a loyal friend and the only person Fern has he can trust.
Carla is the new Aldo and I just HATE all that advice on how to forget someone she is dishing out. After all the beautiful, heartfelt things Fern said about Lety and his feelings for her how on earth does she think she has a shot at him? Another deluded fool - the staple character of a novela.
I didn't care for those previews with Lety being upset about a picture that physio b**ch apparently sent. We don't need anymore reason for her to think that Fern doesn't love her no matter what he says.
Alicia having a dream. That makes sense since Marcia is in no position to dictate who the new president would be. Whoa does Marcia ever jump to conclusions. Next thing we know she'll be on a jet to New York and will find Fern instantly. That might not be all bad - she and CC could get into a monumental cat fight, fall into the East River and drown while Fern states blissfully off in the distance seeing pictures of Lety.
Also loved Omar puking in the balloon. Good looks and smooth pick up lines aside, he's kind of nerdy.
Have to say, Aldo's been really sweet with Lety. I see why she wants to fall in love with him.
And then - pow - he gets mad tonight about Fer - ooohh - his face was ugly with celos. End of sweet Aldo! Fer's still got a chance.
Also, are we to believe that the little whisper between Aldo and the waiter was him arranging the fireworks display? Please--it would have taken more than a couple of hours to get that personalized display created.
I find it encouraging that Fernando is opening up about what he feels for Lety. He's got to get to the point where he can tell any and everyone what he feels for her--not that he has to tell everyone, just that he should be able to tell everyone. It seems like he is well on his way. Too bad that the people he's told so far either laugh at it (Omar), are shocked (his mother), are jealous (Marcia), or are turned on even more (Carla). Here's hoping that he finds a "normal" person with whom he can discuss his feelings for Lety.
Alicia as president, very scary. It has to be her dream or else it will be everyone else's pesadilla.
thnx k for the funny recap.
I'm a yankee bawhn and bred but am now slightly south of the mason dixon line here in d.c. First I thank the recapper. Thank YOU. Then I thank all the recappers. Thank Y'ALL. Then you thank the recappers and bloggers. Thank ALLYALL. See! I can speak southern. (Where I'm from yawl is a boat.)

I hate the fireworks thing...now if they would've spelled out AssHat or STFU, or something else, well I'd been all happy.
Do Not diss Crazy Carla...I mean come on if you met a guy like Fernando and he pulled out a picture of Lety..you know what you'd think...it may not be nice...but indeed it is human nature.
Lety...unless you have a huge chunk of cheddar in your hand...stop it with the whine
There are so many times I just want to reach through the screen and give Lety a good slap or shake her. Enough already with the poor abused ugly old me. I thought she looked very weird when she went to hug Aldo after the fireworks insanity. For a second there she kind of looked like she didn't want to touch him and then stuck out her behind and scrunched down like she does. It is odd almost like she's being a child hugging papi. Maybe it's just because Angelica and Juan sometimes seem to be almost the same size. I also noticed way back when that Fern sometimes seems to loom over her. Very odd camera angles because there really isn't any huge height disparty between all of them when they are just standing around.
It's so cool when people who are close with each other but are passionately fighting then are interrupted by somebody, TOGETHER turn on the intruder. Letti and Ferni have done that twice - on Luigi when he entered for the first time Letti's tinsy claustrophobic office and - on Marcia&his mother. You'd think it would give people a clue something was going on, when she fought like a tigress even after her hurt/betrayal (up until she ran out of time and The Meeting finally happened) to get him to see that whether it was her or their love he ought to not put the business first ahead of them.
/mab
Twice now I have seen referrals in here to donFerni telling his mother yo amo lettie. I totally missed that. I recall Marcia telling his mother and his mother's difficulty believing it. How'd I miss that I wonder. Howcum MrsDonHumb didn't pass out and hit her head and land in the hospital or something, if her son actually admitted it outloud in person toherface. She must have been in severe denial for me to not notice. I even do without dinner to see these episodes (and I LIKE dinner) so I know I was watching. Was this just before or just after the wedding was called off? Or abt when DonHumb named the new pres?
/mab
to the beck -- ya sayin wine&cheese -- grapes are just as good w/havarti so wine isn't all that swell.
(I like food but I like lfmb better.)
Probably what Carla's thinking.
I did laugh at Lety getting in that hot air balloon and grabbing onto the side for dear life. I did the same thing when I took one of them and suspect i left a layer of fingerprints on the the thing but at least she did heave over the side like faithful Omar.
/mab
I like the word twitterpated. I think I'll have to start using that.
cathy cathy cathy - I didden know that you could amend a post in heah -- how do you do it ????????????????? I thought the typos stayed forevah so I just grind my teeth and forgettem. The wealreadyknowthefuture-neyahneyah lfmb-postingplace has a way to fix things but wheah in heah canyuh fix the mybad stuff?
(Doncha just looovvveee the teenagers word/phrase inventions. Last decade it was: chill. This decade it's: mybad. My mom told me the ones from her flapper years and I laughed myself into a condition.)
/mab
twitterpated implies springtime but I guess humans can get struck by lightning anytime.
Thanks for a FUNNY recap! I was also thinking of the poor cows, sheep, pigs, and PEOPLE below when Omar barfed!
Did anybody see the shot where it looked like Aldo kissed Lety while they were up in the balloon? For a split second it looked that way from a distance!?!
I wonder if this little session got Lety over her fear of flying?? It looks like Omar might need to talk to Aldo before he goes up again, though, huh? LOL!

Looks like Marcia’s hideous belts made the trans-Atlantic flight-or could she be shopping for some ugly European ones to add to her collection?
gryshm
More proof that Marcia is more like his sister not somedaywife; with enuf zeal, a sister can grill something like that out of her brother (and boyoboy, when it's something that matters to her, Marcia hasalotta zeal).
/mab
We just flew the other day in a trainer with the canopy open...that rocked. Also my school has an extremely good safety record, & the maintence is done there.
I think it is really a testament to Angelica and Jaime, that we really believe in the profund love that their characters have for each other. They generate so much emotion from viewers of this novela. I love to read everyone's comments and I think it just depends on where we are in our own lives at the time as to how we react. Thank you everyone.
P.S. I am loving Omar and I loved the way he looked last night in casual clothes (jeans and that blue shirt) and yes, his hands are gorgeous.

anon 5:23 - LOL - Yeah, that sly Fernando caught me by surprise too. Something about him....and I usually don't fawn over a handsome man, but I've lost my senses over him! My Spanish is soooo good now.
Have to blushingly admit, he has "re-ignited" my Spanish and, uh, uh, me. VIVA Fernando! Isn't it fun? :) :)
I haven't picked up anything negative other than that he is cold. As for the air killing you he must be joking the smog and air in Mexico City is absolutely lethal. It's the only place i've been where I had trouble breathing and not from the altitude.
As for dangerous subways obviously he never road the one in the DF. When we were robbed there and went to the station there was a room full of people with same problem.
More so than hating the city I think he just hates being away from Lety especially when he knows the opportunistic Aldo is hovering all over her.
Sidenote - I met an Amer. couple one evening in Paris while waiting for a bus which never came. So my friend & I took the Metro (subway) and the Am. couple took a cab because they were afraid of the Metro.(!?) They loved Paris otherwise.
Saimon probably speaks better English than Fer!
Never saw usa-soaps. But these mexsoaps are really SOMEthing if amorreal&alborada&lfmb are any indicators. wowie. I'm having a g-r-e-a-t time. tv usually is so DISGUSTULOUS or just yawwnnnNNN. (I most turn it on while I'm ironing usually, or to find out if it's not safe to go out in d.c. bcs there's a 'protest' near my subway stop, or trying to not hear what's going on in the next apt.)
re: lfmb, I spose it depends what you're in it for.
LFMB is so comical I'm in it for the laughs. Something like lettie's hand on her head after hitting it on ferni's pres desk when she was under there looking for the red bag caused my ribs to nearly fall off. I guess it's because her fingers turn up like persian slipper tips. (My mother taught piano and one student's fingers were like that and I sat quietly in the corner during her whole lesson watching her hands every week. I couldn't get enough of it. Simple things please my simple mind, it seems.)
I love a.v.'s facial expressions as well -- a simple thing like her turning her head 180 degrees to look at her suddenly-upside-down-painting crackS me up. (sorry, no punny-stuff intended, but I don't feel like looking for a better word)
In alborada it wasn't f.c. that got me at first, it was lucero being hauled/pulled off because of the spanish/mex inquisition and sobbing (I was scared they would throw rocks at her and I was sitting on the edge of my chair making yikessounds). My whole life I can't stand people crying, though I am a convert to a church where people sob-themselves all the time -- If I know somebody who's a leaky-faucet will speak/talk I leave the room until somebody else is talking. Lucero is the only one on the PLANET that can cry and I not only don't mind -- I'll sit and watch her all day. (Some of those Alb-episodes she seemed to be crying for days and days.) (She's mex's version of shirley temple and now that she's all grown up she is mostly a vocalist, so's her hubby -- See what my mexsoaps interest has done -- I find out such things instead of spending all my time on family tree research which is what I come use the free internet at the library for.) Lucero's eyes looking at f.c. drew my attention to f.c. and he drew my attention to the chopped up previous telen AR so now I got it, as well as alb, on dvd in the severely abbreviated version. (I'm a cheap so and so -- but I boughtem anyway.)
I laughed so hard it hurt when jamie c fell over the chair in the administrator's ofc trying to listen to a conversation (during that visit when the bureaucrattwit decided they must get the business fixed in 3 months).
If you're in it for the romance instead of the comedy perhaps maewest's remark'll give you courage: it's gonna be a bumpy ride. ==don't remember her exact words but you get the idea.

Carla is sleazy. Ugh. What always mystifies me is that men can’t see through that when they’re looking at a belleza. Beauty trumps nice personality and scruples. ¡No es justo! I am so impressed that Fern walked away this time, though.
Carrie, Alex and Julie, I am hoping that Alicia is just having a fantasy sequence here, too. (Notice that they are calling her “licenciada” and she didn’t even get the degree). Julie, I bet you are right because of the move Alicia made at the end of the call.
/mab, I remember vaguely that Fern told his mother he loves Lety. Mother, who didn’t believe a word he said…. BTW, great accent. ;-)
Anon 5:19 To each his/her own. Most of us here live for LFMB every night, and recaps after that.
Fern may or may not like America. His real negativity is he is not home to keep an eye on Lety. This is how it plays out, with grumbling.
Anon 6:17 I won’t take the subway in New York, because of a bad experience when going to Jackson Heights one time with two work colleagues. However, I love the DC subway, which I took almost daily when I worked in DC years ago. I still use it whenever I am there. Last winter a colleague and I took it when all the others in our group used taxis—he and I both had lived there and knew it well, the others never had lived in DC. He has enough stature in this world that he could easily take a cab and it might be expected, but the Metro is more fun and convenient for those who love it. New York’s might be better if I bit the bullet and used it, but I don’t go often enough anymore (I worked for a NY firm for 5 years and had to go there about one week a month).

There are loads of tourists riding the subway and roaming Times Square daily. (Right where Fern was looking at Lety on the big board two days ago.)
Lola—“ No one commented on Marcia in jeans. She didn't look good in them to me. Or maybe it was the jeans with that big belt.” I agree. She doesn’t look good in the jeans. Or the wide belt.
Anon 9:11---Omar looked like he was using two gadgets--a Treo that takes photos and sends e-mail (I have one), while he talked on the phone (I have one of those, too. No, make that two. I have two of those, too. Don't ask).
