CI #13: Poor Maricruz, when it rains it pours
Labels: Indomable
Our Galan is a Goofus. (A Highlights Magazine reference) I can't be more displeased with him. And he's not even the eyecandy that would make him even slightly bearable. MC needs to get rid of him. JA is clearly a better man than him. It's sad to think that MC and Octavio will end up together at the end, at least I'm assuming they will. But I would be so happy if she realizes that he's not good enough for her. Now that would be a twist that I would stand behind whole heartedly.
I'm glad Mari says they are now enemigos. He certainly has been no amigo to her lately.
Thanks for this wonderful recap.
I was so angry during this whole epi last night! Poor Maricruz indeed. I wish Miguel had called his beyotch of a wife's bluff and let her go. Ugh, they are all garbage as the beyotch likes to call Maricruz. I really hate the way they treat Maricruz and to call her garbage, savage and an animal is wayyyy beyond the pale. Miguel needs a good boot up his butt, and Awwfelia and the Scar listening at the door, just stick a fork in them. I hope down the road somewhere, maybe Maricruz will treat THEM like the garbage they are!
I really hate Ewww-sebio. He needs an anvil. I am glad the chisme lady told Awwwfelia all about it.
Abue, Maricruz and poor Solita in a leaky hut trying to avoid the rain was heartbreaking. While the richy rich blackhearts are enjoying the nice warm huge house. And Maricruz is the wife of the co-owner of that house. Octavio is worse than useless. What a jerk. Get some avacadoes and stand up to your useless bro and his beyotch wife already. At least Simona has a conscience, but she should have stood up for Maricruz, since she didn't seem to approve of what Lucia did. Which begs the question, it seems like Simona is way more wealthy than either Miguel or that beyotch so why doesn't she lend Maricruz a helping hand?
I am glad JA saved Maricruz from the river. I didn't want to see her end up dead over that putz.
So glad Maricruz told Octavio off. Good for her. I am glad she is done with him. He has treated her badly by not standing up for her, when it counted the most. Now let's see what he does with the new, stand up for herself Maricruz.
Sorry for the rant, but kudos to the actors for making this so believable. I wanted to throw something at the TV when the beyotch threatened Maricruz with the dogs.
Eli, terrific recap, thanks.
Rosemary Primera
Cliche # 7 for the 2nd time, Maricruz tries to kill herself. Don't they put suicidal people in the manicomio?
Cliche # 4 Maricruz will for certain become very ill from the rain & near drowning. She was ill before so it's the 2nd time for that one.
How many times have you guys had bingo? Mrs.Mejia keeps yelling BINGO
Well, Miguel's villain came out, & the imbébil just stands there while his wife is being insulted.
I'm looking forward to the fierce dogs & hope to see the mono riding on their back while they lick Maricruz' face.
Hurry Eduardo!!!! I'm desperate
Leaky roof? Add carpentry to Ramiro's growing list of skills he lacks.
Carlos
If there is one lesson that novelas teach it is that there are people in this world who are not worthy of redemption. Lucia is at the top of that list for this tale, followed by Eusebio.
Octavio is unworthy of any woman. Maybe when our other pilot enters the story he will be a serious contender for her.
Great one-liners:
...the poor girl can't even get a basic chore done without this pig stalking her!
...Maricruz lacks manners because no one taught her any better, but what is Ofelia's excuse?
...sadly viper numero dos gets in his way and tell him to chill
...I worry that Moctavio might get a cold.
...honestly I don't see why Miguel can't figure out that this is a gift from the gods and calls her bluff.
...MC is like a pig. Oh yes, he went there.
I could go on, but I'd have to include most of the recap. Kudos.
I loved the part where MC tells Octavio to leave and never come back and then asks Gramps if he really left and he says, well, you told him to and she's disappointed.
So, over Miguel's objections he's going to let Lucia get two attack dogs. We all know what we want. They attack her when out for an afternoon stroll by the pool.
Glad you didn't spend any time down by the docks. Don't know why, I just don't like those folks.
Octavio is a walking contradiction. He can be so hotheaded, impatient and not understanding...like towards the end of the episode when MC stood her guns and chose to stay mad at him for Miguel's words. But then he can be caring and attentive like when he defended her in front of Scar (good one Eli) and Awwfelia when he took her inside away from the rain.
The vipers need to go like yesterday...they're hatred for MC is soooo unreasonable.
Thanks Eli for the recap. Love the Scar idea. I'm only scanning this TN, getting my cues from the recaps, which are all awesome.
Nanette
But your fab recap is more than enough to keep me in line with the story.
I cannot belive Oct didn't come to MC defense in time and just let Miguel rant on. Until this point Miguel didn't seem that bad just weak and let on by Lucia, now however he showed his true colours.
Oct needs a good boot in the @ss, you treat stray dogs better than that and she's your wife, you supposedly "LOVE" her.. where in the Sam Hill is this love now..?? just asking..
I hope MC gonna give it to them with interest!! But PRONTO!!
Alegria
He's not even HOT!
I can't wait for Octavio to get shot, fall off of a horse, become disfigured or get maimed by one of his enemies. This is not a spoiler, it's just my hope and dream. I'm rooting for the bad guy from this moment on.
Any commenter who disagrees with me I will send a link of this episode along with strong language that is insulting to both you and Octavio. I hate Octavio! I spit on his grave. Patoowy. I feel better now!
Missed the first half last night. So glad I didn't see the second attempted rape of Solita. Gah. Like everyone else, anxiously awaiting the next phase of the story.
But thanks, in the meantime, for keeping us up to speed all you excellent recappers!
And Cynderella...thanks for the rant. I felt better just reading it. Patoowy!
But with all that said, I'm hoping for a major improvement with the second half.
The way you all described the show and characters was cracking me up. BUT, I have no desire to recap this one because I DESPISE the lead character. I would use course language about him every time he came on the screen. There is nothing he can ever do to redeem himself. I wish I was a character on the show so that I could kick him.
As I have stated before, I love this novela but I must admit that it was hard for me to watch last night. OMG!!! that poor family and to make it worse, they are good people. Poor Solita, poor Maricruz.
With every novela drama I have watched I've learned that the bad people appear to win but that victory never lasts. In other words
it's always dark before the dawn so if we are a Corazon Indomable fan we have to get through these dark chapters before the sun shines
brighty. I know that Maricruz will somehow end victorious, I just hope that she doesn't stoop to the level of vengance for that would take some of the shine away from victory.
One of the few good parts last night was the fight between EWWWsebio and Awfulfelia---YEAH!!
Evil bruja Ester was still wearing
that shirt with the grotesque face
of death on it. A perfect shirt for her.
I have to disagree with Cathyx and Cynderella though. This guy Octavio
Daniel Areans is so handsome that he makes me jealous. Even in my best days I would have been no match or competion for him. What a hunk. It's easy for me to see why Maricruz fell for him. Now if he could just get some backbone.
I was thinking last night that even if Octavio laid down the law that he is "half" owner and that Maricruz is his wife and is going to live there whether they like it or not, It wouldn't work out. Evil
Eyes has too much hatred for the "lower" class that she would never be able to be civil, even if she halfway tried. Actually, Octavio has few options at this point. His biggest problem is lack of money. He could go live in the shack--fat chance, even if he tried that, I don't think that he could take it. So what is the answer? I guess that we will have to stay tuned.
the gringo
So...Octavio Octavio Octavio Octavio Octavio!
Or let's go back to Abismo and our villainous galan (I blush to admit I've forgotten his name....Was it Gabino?). Gabino Gabino Gabino Gavino!!!!!
Anyway, I haven't forgotten the "treasure trail" so feel free to go off on either of those subjects.
Alegria: You're probably right. Octavio was probably getting lonely. Things were getting steamy before Miguel interrupted them with his tirade against MC.
I had high hopes for Miguel. It looked like he was gonna turn around and accept his brother's marriage but I guess Lucia got him wrapped around her finger.
And yes, Tav is an idiot with no common sense whatsoever. Plus, I don't remember the background on the brothers' mother ( did she die early?? I seem to think maybe yes?) but these two have zilch skills with women. Miguel hasn't a clue that he married a shrew who is leading him by the nose, and Tav needs to even learn the definition of "wife".
I hope MC sticks to her guns, grows a spine, and tells Tav to take a hike. After all, we have to go thru how many episodes to watch this jerkwad, cute, but jerkwad prove he deserve her.
I can't even go there with Ewwwsebio. If Esther wants to shoot someone, I think I have her candidate.
Daisy
he really treats her like a pet, as several commenters already mentioned, good for a little unga-bunga but throw her away as soon as she starts to become uncomfortable in any situation.. even a lot of pets are being treated better..shame on you Octavio
nevertheless I think Octavio muy chulo, he has a great body, we need some shirless shots of him though he's too covered up
Alegria
Olive
I always thought quiero means love because so many times I hear declarations of te quiero just before the galan kisses the girl and carries her off to the sunset..and Oct several times called her mi amor as well, but as I understand now it's just a figure of speach for fondness and not of love?
did I get is right?
unfortunately I cannot watch any TN with CC-s because UNIVISION only avaible in US I allways get "Este vídeo no está disponible en tu país" every time I check, it would be so much easier to watch with CC-s
Amar is pretty easy. It’s just straight up love. No if, ands, or buts about it. Querer, however, can mean many things: to love, to care for, to cherish. It can be used with friends, family, lovers, children, your dog or cat, anyone.
Alegria
Alegria, thanks to you as well, I tried the google translate thing, and what I got was - Sorry, this video is currently not available in your region.- now in English,
I belive the sites are checking the ip adress that tries to connect to the site and since I'm in Europe I do not have access unfortunately.
I tried some tricks to avoid this perviously and those that work slower and block the internet speed so much, that the video is almost unwatchable, stops like every 5 second and loads, you get the CC though.. it is one of those out of the frying pan into the fire situations
Thanks for the help though.
I'll try again later, maybe it'll work.
Alegria
At least the gossips did a good deed, for a change. I'm happy they saved Solita from Ewwsebio.
If Octavio is condemning MC to life in the shack, he needs to make it liveable. He may not have money, but he could at least buy a tarp for the roof, as Cynderella also said.
I put this on my Facebook status to see if someone can help me explain the difference between amor and "querer" hopefully someone will come thru for us,lol.
In Spanish you don't Quiero or Amo things.
You encanto things
Me encanto este jamón
Me encanto estos zapatos
I think of querer as loving your family, pets
and amar as romantic love.
I believe that encantar is used in the same sense as gustar, so I think instead of me encanto estos zapatos it would be more appropriate to say me encantan estes zapatos or even a mi me encantan estes zapatos.
Carlos
Great to have class, my Spanish teacher is ill & I haven't had class for 2 mths.
Miguel ratón ?
I know people raised in a Spanish speaking home but have been schooled in English, so they misspell words like we do. Leave out the h, s for z or c
me encanto este jamón. ?
or
me encanta este jamón.
or are both OK to say?
yo me encanto este jamón.
doesn't sound right to me.
Carlos
The ham pleases me
Me encanta este jamón
Now you know why I can't learn Spanish,takes half an hour to get one little phrase right.
is off, it should be "a mi me encanto este jamon"= "I really liked this ham" "a mi me encanta este jamon"=I like this ham. I think. Don't take my word for it, I'm a bad Mexican.
I miss my weekly Tue. tutoring sessions with my profa Adriana who up and moved to Austin a few months ago. We still talk on the phone but graciously she only corrects my most egregious errors on those occasions.
She understands my Spanish quite well, but my doubts in my abilities were aroused last Sat. The guys rebuilding our gazebo had Mariachi music blaring as the Lovely Linda, Princess Andrea and I were sipping Margaritas on the patio. One of the workmen walked by to get a tool from their truck and said hi. Being friendly and because of the music they were playing (and quite frankly, proud of my Spanish) I inquired ¿ Vds. son de Jalisco? He stopped, smiled, shrugged, and replied Sorry, I don't speak English."
Yikes!
Carlos
I restated it with yo. to clarify what she had said... oh never mind.
cathyx,
"Me encanto means you're enchanting yourself. Are you?
Actually... yes... most of the time.
Carlos
PS: is that you kitty Carlos?
Me encanto este jamón
Me encanto estos zapatos
Carlos said:
me encanto este jamón. ?
or
me encanta este jamón. or are both OK to say?
yo me encanto este jamón. doesn't sound right to me.
Anita says:
Me encanta este jamón is the only OK.
You'd never say Yo me encanto este jamón.
But--you might say A mi me encanta este jamón (loosely translated it would be I really love this ham)
Unless you are really gushing over this ham and the shoes, encanto is over the top.
Most conversational speakers would go for the Gusto.
Me gusta este jamón.
Me gustan estos zapatos.
(Not a teacher, just grew up bi-lingual and swear by the school of "Don't know why, but it sounds right." )
...Me encantó este jamón (I really liked that ham.)
Encanto without the accent is a noun, too--un encanto.
Ese niño es un encanto. That kid is really a charmer.
I really appreciate (and need) the vocab/grammar discussions but the show obviously needs to step up the action if this is where the discussions are going.
(now singing "quiero jamon, jamon, jamon..." to the Blue Danube tune).

–¿Qué te parece?
–Me gusta. Pero a mi me gusta más este vestido.
Me encantan las obras de Mark Twain.
In the case of spam whether in the can or on the computer I think gustar is better
a mi no me gusta spam
o
Odio spam
OMG Eduardo just showed up at the ranch
Quiero Eduardo,
hasta luego
Querer - like, love (humans, animals); want (I want to travel/eat/sleep)
Amar - love (mostly in the romantic sense, but also used w/family & friends - never with inanimate objects)
Desear - like, want, desire
Gustar - like
Encantar - really, really like; love (love those shoes, that book, etc)

THX for the grammar lesson everybody, I can use it any day
