Mi Corazon es Tuyo #25 When doing the right thing is doing the wrong thing.
Call out to Cynderella. Male Stripper alert. See the first 2 minutes.
Our story continues where we left off, with Fernando telling Ana that he’s going to marry Isabela. And she is shocked and embarrassed for having thought that a mere employee would be asked to marry him, apologizes quickly, and leaves before he can explain. As she leaves, she loses her shoes, he chases after her and finally catches up in order to explain. She absolutely will not let him, cutting him off at every start, and runs away. I absolutely hate when they don’t let someone explain themselves. What would it hurt to hear the explanation?

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #5: 8/22/14: We Are Family, I've Got All My Sisters With Me!
Hola Amiguis! I have another earworm for you in light of what occured during this epi. Sisters, Sisters!
I didn't take notes watching so if I missed anything please let me know. Take a look at these sisters! They look like close sisters don't they? But pictures don't tell the whole story do they? Shall we begin?
We start where we left off last episode. The arguement at the Ripoll table. With all the money that Alexa has spent in Spain, she must have lived like a Queen for four years. Sofia advises Alexa to go back there if she wants to. We'll get back to them in a tic.
Chava, Marisol and Lupe are at table too. Chava would really like it if Marisol would go back to school. Marisol argues with Chava and tells him it's a new century, not back in the day. She wants to earn her own money to get what she wants when she wants it. Chava is thinking of selling his race car. Here Lupe puts her foot down. Chava worked so hard for that car, and someday he'll get back to racing.

Que Pobres tan ricos #164.Aug 21 2014.. Emi makes little signs of progress, reunites with the Menchacas. A-hole is ready to celebrate his win.... but what did he win?? Boy, Aureliano finds a way to teach humility even after death.
Isela warns Mini not to tell anyone about the secret Isela wants to cash when she wants… Mini insults her and gets slapped for it. ISela gets on internet looking for non-profit she can buy. Nothing about greenpeace, hate animals, amnesty international, nah, don’t care about human rights… Isela keeps protesting about the slap… Isela says you earned it for annoying. Poor kids foundations… no I hate them… besides, who would you be able to marry a poor kid with?
Lupe questions A-hole on locking them up… Lupe warns him not to lock them up again. Lupe wants to leave with Emi, but A-hole overrides her… A-hole wants to talk to Emi alone. Lupe leaves irritated.
A-hole coaches Emi against MA, MA only wants to separate us… and your mom is in relationship with MA… Emi questions why did you tell me before not to tell her I knew about her and MA and now you want me to… A-hole says use it in your favor, tell her she can’t leave you for him… surely she will stay with us then…
MA and Saul argue at fruteria office, MA can talk real fast when he is angry… he is mocking A-hole’s tone of voice… has been talking like that since he was a kid per MA, now I hate him even more… MA can’t wait to be able to beat the crap out of A-hole. Saul says hold your impulses… the ‘tipejo’ has a restriction order against you… wait until after the issue of the clause… MA says that’s the problem, each day I doubt more that A-hole will fulfill the promise to get away from Lupe and Emi… otherwise, why the restriction order??
At Fonda Perla is holding a kitchen roll and some kitchen towel as a sash and is practicing her speech by holding some home made tiara… Leo, DA and Rita come and mock her a bit… Perla tells them she is counting on their support… she wants them to buy vote tickets for the contest. (its kind of like raffle tickets). Rita says the day is getting close she will return to the US. DA asks her why so soon? Rita asks DA if he has thought about whether he is going with her or not.
MA tells Saul that he has been thinking of what Vilma said about the notebook… if she said not even A-hole would think of it, it must be very obvious place… Saul says what if he hid it in office? MA says its more probable she hid it in his house… if the house is empty, no one will find it.

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #162, 8/22/2014
De que son adolescentes, son adolescentes
I didn't take notes and I probably should have. Please fill in. Oh, and there was no mention of the will.
I'll just start with Rod, Al and the tribunal (for lack of a better word.) Al reports that Rod is perfectly responsible for his acts and should rot. Rod continues with his act. "Oh yeah?" he sneers "If I'm so OK, then why do I see Dead Al standing right behind you?" Rod says some other things and Al is pushed to his limits and starts punching Rod. Way to go, dude. Ruin the case. Rod is carted off to the hospital. I'm sure this is setting up for lax security and an escape. Al gets yelled at for beating up on Rod.
El and Luz manage to catch up with the Garcias. They happen upon Paolo and Mara (who are still attempting a little hubba hubba in the woods.) El announces his move to Mérida. Carmen haz a sad. Lupita is also upset and El tells her he'll always care for her. I seem to remember Luz says something to El about at least letting Lupita know he's not really moving, but El is sure Lupita will squeal. Carmen has to believe that he's really leaving.

Weekend Discussion: To the Manor Born -- How Much Does That Really Matter?
The class distinction that happens in telenovelas obviously fuels more than a couple of plot points per series. In the Americas there are no titles like those in Europe such as Sir or Dame for KBEs; Baron, Count, etc., in other countries, and there are equivalents in the Middle East. Here in the Americas it's usually about money or where you went to school.
In all our stories these things are used by those who choose to ignore that all human beings are the same in all important things. But so do people do this in life and it extends beyond how much gold is in your parents' coffers when you're born.
A college buddy of mine worked for a major global corporation for a number of years. He was smarter and more articulate than many of his colleagues. However, he didn't attend an Ivy League university and isn't a WASP; he's a first-generation American of Irish Catholic parents. That alone was going to keep him out of the board room. He didn't care about that once he got to the advertising department of his company where creativity was valued.
Do you think this is outdated or have you witnessed this in your own lives? Have you beaten it on occasion?
Be articulate, amigos.

Hola Amiguis! This is my last full recap for Pobres. I didn't take many notes, so if I got something wrong just let me know. Take a listen to this little earworm as you read the recap. She's Come Undone! Shall we begin?
I am skipping the old and getting right to the new.
At El Editoral Vilma calls Ahole. She still wants out of the joint. He tells her to be patient that he'll be the President soon and then he'll get her out. Vilma is googly eyed and beleives the lying liar that lies. Sucks to be Vilma.
Carm and Guendy are having a chat. Once Guendy marries Nepo she will be moving into his abode and Carm says no worries, she is still going to be living at Guendy's. Carm has to go now, but will talk to her more this evening.

Hasta El Fin del Mundo #4: 8/21/14: It's All About the Price Tag and The Bling Bling!
Hola Amiguis! This recap will be short and sweet. I have a wee little earworm I've been wanting to use and now I can! Take a listen as you read the recap, I Can't Drive I am skipping the old and commencing with the new. Shall we begin?
Alexa is in the back of that Mercedes, sniffling about Papa's car, cause I guess when they went to the funeral this was the car used. Armando, ever the gentleman, asks her if she is okay cause he didn't know about the car. She just wants to go home. Armando tells Alexa he just loves this car, her Papa must have been great. Alexa asks if Armando is a chofer. Nopis, he's a mechanic and explains the racing circuit. She knows all about it she says. She went to races in Monaco.
While Greta is giving Miguelina hell, Fausto in the back is giving Lucas hell. Fausto has dealt with little ruffians like him before, grabs him by the scruff of his neck and throws him out. Kudos to Fausto!

Hashtag#: No, It’s The Other Woman!
Cap #24
We’ll skip the old and jump to the new…… as Fanny takes another ride on the wild side, literally, and is introduced to the scary world of public transportation. She and Leon go to school together on THE BUS.
Meanwhile, Ana, still troubled by Don Fernando’s giving her the cold shoulder, tries to weasel the reason out from Nando. He refuses to betray his father’s trust. Ana has another Tinker Bell moment in which I believe she’s telling herself it isn’t her fault that ol’ Don Hielo has made a sudden reappearance.

De que el campamento
fué un desastre, fué un desastre

A Tale of Three
Campsites
Campsite #1: Luz & El
El and Luz continue to search for the Garcias, while El
rehearses the many different ways he can tell Carmen that he loves her. He’s
pleased to learn that Carmen has not yet been told about his work transfer. Unfortunately,
neither Luz nor Lupita realized just how large the comet viewing area is, and
the lack of cell phone service means that they are unable to coordinate to meet
up.
El uses old fashioned tracking skills to find them. He sees
the smoke from their lunch camp fire in the distance, but when he and Luz arrive
at the site, the Garcias have already moved on an hour ago, by El’s estimates.
With night falling, El decides to call it a day and set up camp for the night.
Luz is disappointed, but mother and son end up bonding and reminiscing, and the
woman El says I love you to that night is his mama Luz. As they snuggle down in
their sleeping bags for the night, they hear the faint sounds of a cumbia beat
floating through the air. El smiles.
Campsite #2: The Garcias & Company
Paolo’s mini green car is so loaded down with camping gear that
it’s not a surprise when a tire blows out. Since the Garcias always take lemons
and make lemonade, Carmen decides it’s the perfect time to fire up the grill
and make lunch, play some soccer, and chillax. The Gracias even convince Irene
to stay, with the promise that she can borrow some clothes from Abdul to suit
her boyish (caballona) figure.
The Mushroom does his best to avoid having fun. And there
are plenty of reasons for him to frown. 1) An errant soccer ball knocks over the
lunch camp fire, topples the food to the ground, and starts a large blaze. The
Gracias put it out and keep on moving to the final camp site. 2) A flare (sent
up by El in an effort to alert the Garcias to their location) falls out of the
sky and right onto Abdul’s tent, setting it ablaze. The Garcias decide to all
pile into Irene’s giant tent, leaving Mushroom all alone in his tent. 3) The
sky is too cloudy for the comet to be seen. The Garcias decide to dance cumbia
around the camp fire instead. 4) The sky opens up and starts pouring rain. The
Garcia’s snuggle up and keep each other warm in their tent, while Mushroom
freezes in his. Carmen allows him to share their tent, as long as he stays as
far away from her as possible! The Mushroom sulks.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo Recap #3-The Dress, The Dame(s), and The Discord that Detained Chava from Unemployment.
My computer keeps crash dumping so I will type this at school and have it read around 12:00 and 1:00.
EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-
Sofia and Chava
Sofia lets Chava know he begins immediately and he is happy to oblige. Greta intervenes and says she has not finished interviewing him but Sofia insists he is OK and lays down the rules; no high velocity or victory cries since they're informal. He tones it down and they head out. Greta dislikes Chava since he's- Fausto interrupts and says Attractive, Sympathetic and of a Enchanting Smile. Greta says he is ordinary. Fausto suggests she has some chocolate Miguelina prepared since it will change her mind; Greta is up for the chocolate but her mind won't be changed.
Patricio's Cockamamie Scheme
In an alleyway of sorts are various thugs and a familiar face who comes out of a car; it's Patricio who has come to let them know what's up with the plan; They will track Sofia, kidnap her, bring her to a room or location of sorts and then he will come with cash which I'm guessing most likely will be a ploy and lead to Pat fighting to save Sofia. Sofia is to make it out of the kidnapping COMPLETELY unscathed physically and when they're fighting the thugs aren't fight by much and avoid hurting Pat's pretty little face. They know how to get the job done. They go their separate ways (for now. OK so his plan is save Sofia from harm. There's something else fishy about this plan but IDK how to word it. I mean it's supposed to make him look like a hero but right after they get to the rendezvous, Pat is immediately going to go in and save her? Wouldn't Sofia wonder how he knew she was in peril? Yeah that's how to word it.)
Lupe and Irma
Lupe is getting down like the old lady from Soul Train when Irma comes in to bitch about her troubles. Lupe offers to watch her son and says it would be sweet to have him around when Irma lets out the biggest bitching and yells that she came looking for advice and not be barrida y regada (IDK man, IDK. Also, From this day forward Irma will be know as IrkMe since she irks me. I'm getting a Karina from DQTQTQ vibe from her and Armando is a competent Alonso right?)

Pobres, Wednesday night
EmiliAhole gets to infuriate Chuy by obnoxiously talking about leaving with his dad.
Mike tries to get the book of evidence from Mini. Good luck. She swears on some grim portraits of her grandfathers that she doesn't know, then proceeds to sexily pin him up against the window blinds. He amusingly struggles to escape.
Ahole himself oozes his greasy self into the Chuy house to drag off lil EmiliAhole. The little twerp reveals the phone his dad has been using to communicate with him behind mom's back. Basically, Ahole has threatened Lupita, saying if she doesn't come live with him he'll tell the judge she was neglectful. Also she understandably doesn't want the kid to be alone with his awful dad. But I say that ship has sailed. The twerp already sucks, let him rot!
Nepo has a confrontation with some young dudes I don't recognize.They make fun of Diego and he flies off the handle and must be restrained.
Mike tries to talk Lupita out of leaving with her son. He doesn't think the punk is in danger of becoming an "Alejito," but meh.
In the devil's den, EmiliAhole is delighted, Ahole makes some jabs about how great it is to see Lupita without suffering the odor of poverty.
AS is on the phone with someone, busily abusing the authority that she wangled bi forging her son's signature. Leo wanders in and rightly assumes that she's up to no good skulking in the kitchen. He tells her she should celebrate the impending arrival of her first nietuqi, but she's not buying it.
Mike tries to get into Ahole's place, and we are treated to the two of them spouting insults at each other for a bit.
Guendy and Rita gang up on Nepo about Diego and how he should accept that his kid has different dreams than his dad.
OMG NEPO COMES TO GUENDY'S ON HORSEBACK FOR A TWILIGHT MARIACHI SERENADE! it barely looks like him! She cracks up and loves it. He even gets the horse to turn prancing little circles!
Alejo teaches his son to be a jerk to the servant lady! If you don't like the food, send it back!
Nepo has a nice moment with his son. He apologizes and says he just wants to support and protect him. Meh, ok!
Alejo is reminded that he only has a few more days to comply with the will. Diego calls him the best dad in the world! He is rewarded with some fatherly advice. Guendy comes for a big family hug, it's all sweet, and even the fruit-stand flunky squeezes into the hug!
Mike visits Vilma in jail. He makes a good point - who are you protecting, Vilma? Alejo left you to rot! Tell me where that booklet is. She gives him a super lame hint - It's where no one would ever suspect!
Once they're alone together, Alejo wastes no time reminding Lupita of their nights of passion and gets a little handsy! He grabs her and gets super gross. She literally kicks him to the curb. She grabs him by the hair and beats him up. EmiliAhole walks in, sees it, and gives her a high five! Hah! He's excellently injured, and she celebrates when Alejo limps around the corner.
Minerva's mom signs over her shares to... Saul? She insists that the money is hers and hers alone!
Despite the beating he suffered, he manages to drag Lupita and the kid to a dinner with the board of executives dudes to show them off! The board is impressed, but reminds them that all three need to be present for the official meeting (about the clause).
Frida goes on a date with Tizoc. He tells her he loves her a ton and they dance. Whelp, guess he's been rehabilitated.
Mike tells Lupita what he learned about the location of the booklet. Surprisingly, she finds the thing under Ahole's bed! The cliffhanger, duh, is that he walks in and finds her in his bedroom acting suspiciously!
See y'all later, it's been fun!

Mi corazon es Tuyo, #23, 20 Aug 2014...Fernando commits the # 1 IDIOT MOVE of a man in his middle age crisis EVA!!! Bruno gets some truth serum under coaching from Ana and Nico
Refrito: Fer tells Nando what he feels for IsaSkank and they talk about Ana… exceptional… a bit different from Isa or big Fanny, but Ana gave Fer back the will to live… up until the moment he learned he was going to be a daddy… Ana is a wonderful angel who changed his existence.
At Lasc mansion, Ana introduces herself and the kids… Manuela almost messes up the whole plan… twice. They tell grannie that the painting is a cousin of Manuela’s… Ana says the story is long.
Lo Nuevo:
Nando asks Fer what he will do… no idea… no, that is not true. Have to do what is correct, the straight, ethical, perfect thing to do… you have to be aware of the consequences (of what you do). Nando reminds him of a variable that turns everything incorrect, imperfect… love. (now, who is the grown up and who is the teenager here? Sadly, it seems the melting process melted the brain cells in Don Hielo's head!!)
Back to Lasc manor… Luz tells grannie she wants to be like her mom (points to the painting) who is in heaven… everyone skips a beat… Manuela tries to fix things, but overdoes it a bit. Manuela tells grannie she is chef as a career, a very famous fine chef.
Back to Malinalco. Nando is talking about Ximena and how she used him, and what he felt… Fer says you are right when you say love is the variable that turns the world upside down… Nando tells Fer that Ximena apologized and then kissed him… and he admits it was his FIRST kiss… what did you do next? … kick her out… but have to say it was…. It was GREAT!... (Fer remembers his first kiss with Ana and smiles)
At Lasc manor… Nico reminds Ana what we are doing is for Bruno… but… it is wrong… Ana agrees that one should not fake who you are not…. Least of all in front of someone you love. Nico says he hurts to see that someone is so uncomfortable with themselves that they have to lie to their mom.
At dinner table, Bruno a.k.a. the man of the house and Manuela are talking to grannie. Grannie loves seeing them in love… (grannie has a name! its Ofelia!) Manuela keeps whispering bedmanners promises to Bruno and pinching him… LOL!
Luz questions to Ana why they are lying to grannie… Ana says there are some lies that are white lies, to not hurt others like in this case Bruno’s mom. Lichita turns it on Ana about the lie denying the kiss between Ana and Fer.. Lichita tells Ana to admit it… Ana keeps talking about brushing Luz’s hair.
At Malinalco… Fer asks Nando what about Briana, Alicia’s friend? She is a bit young… and he still is thinking of Ximena. Honestly, he loves Ximena. But he can’t date her after what she did to him. He likes Ximena and she likes him… but that’s where it stops. They laugh that it seems they are living parallel stories. ‘de tal palo tal astilla’ (the apple does not fall far from the tree)… Fer repeats to Nando he loves him very much… Nando says me too… and thank you so much for this moment… (embrace, kiss)

At Lasc mansion, Ana introduces herself and the kids… Manuela almost messes up the whole plan… twice. They tell grannie that the painting is a cousin of Manuela’s… Ana says the story is long.
Lo Nuevo:
Nando asks Fer what he will do… no idea… no, that is not true. Have to do what is correct, the straight, ethical, perfect thing to do… you have to be aware of the consequences (of what you do). Nando reminds him of a variable that turns everything incorrect, imperfect… love. (now, who is the grown up and who is the teenager here? Sadly, it seems the melting process melted the brain cells in Don Hielo's head!!)
Back to Lasc manor… Luz tells grannie she wants to be like her mom (points to the painting) who is in heaven… everyone skips a beat… Manuela tries to fix things, but overdoes it a bit. Manuela tells grannie she is chef as a career, a very famous fine chef.
Back to Malinalco. Nando is talking about Ximena and how she used him, and what he felt… Fer says you are right when you say love is the variable that turns the world upside down… Nando tells Fer that Ximena apologized and then kissed him… and he admits it was his FIRST kiss… what did you do next? … kick her out… but have to say it was…. It was GREAT!... (Fer remembers his first kiss with Ana and smiles)
At Lasc manor… Nico reminds Ana what we are doing is for Bruno… but… it is wrong… Ana agrees that one should not fake who you are not…. Least of all in front of someone you love. Nico says he hurts to see that someone is so uncomfortable with themselves that they have to lie to their mom.

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #160 Wednesday 8/20/14
De Que me importa un rábano, me importa un rábano
Disagree with me if you will, but nothing happened.
They all got ready to go camping. The end.
But if I must, here's a rápido recap.
Paul sees an internet article about a comet.
Brat whines about working.
Lupita imagines Carmen's rage if she found out Lupita lied and told El that Carmen was with Paul.
El wonders how to get Carmen back. He rehearses "te amo."
Rod is taken from his cell for an evaluation. He stinks. They're taking him to the showers.
Paul interrupts a family B!tch about Brat fest with his telescope. Somehow a huge camping trip is planned.
Al talks to Rod. Rod tries to play crazy.
Lupita is pithed about the trip and doesn't want to go.
Rod asks Al about Brat and makes a lewd comment about her coming for a conjugal visit.
Lupita tells her mom about the lie she told El (that Paul and Carmen were an item.) Carmen is not moved. She doesn't want to be with a man who doesn't trust her.
El and Al talk about the evaluation. El just wants Rod in jail for a long time.
Rod calls Brat from jail and tells her she'll be back in jail with him soon.
Diego and Simona are still trying to decide on a location. He sees the internet article about the stupid comet.
Camping plans. Camping plans. Irene had a successful meeting with a boutique with locations all over Mexico. Camping plans. Paolo and Mara talk about *whispers in ear* en pleno bosque (in the middle of the forest?) Camping plans. Paul b!tches about the family cramping his peaceful comet watching style and turning it into a pachanga. Hell, they'll probably bring cumbia music. Carmen reminds Lupita to pack the Cumbia CDs and tells her she can't tell El where they are going. More camping plans. Irene and Nat shop for too much camping gear.
Rod provokes Al.
Lupita fibs about dead camera batteries so Carmen has to leave. She runs to Luz.
Diego shops for camping supplies.
Lupita and Luz cook up a plan in which Luz will ask El to take her to see the comet.
Al wants to be objective. He really doesn't think Rod is crazy. He calls Paul for a consult. They meet. Paul thinks Rod is completely responsible for his actions. Let him rot (I took some liberties with that line.) Meanwhile, Rod hopes everyone has believed his crazy act.
Luz call El and tells him about wanting to go camping and see the comet. He's on to her. He knows something's up. He goes investigating and sees the boys with all the camp gear. He figures it's a perfect place to confess his love to Carmen.
Simona packs and since Diego didn't think he should give her any hints everything she packs is kind of inappropriate.
Everyone ignores Brat.
Al reports his findings to Vicente. Vicente is saddened by the news that Rod will have to serve a sentence in jail, but agrees it's what Rod deserves.
Everyone finally gets on the road (Paolo's car looks like it belongs to the Joads.) El trained in Israel?? Qué? Simona is still asking where they are going. She doesn't seem to happy when she gets there.
Paolo gets a flat. Carmen wants to relax and fix some food and enjoy. Paul is miffed. Lupita panics. How is she going to alert Luz where they are?? There's no cell phone coverage.
Luz is with El wondering how she'll find out where the others are. El mentally rehearses "te amo." Luz lets it slip that Carmen still doesn't know about El's plans to move to Mérida. El thinks that's great. He can let her think she's losing him, THEN spring the "te amo" on her.
Simona has allergies.

Babies ruin EVERYTHING Mi Corazon Es Tuyo #22 08/19/2014
Hi friends, Time Warner is screwing with me again so I had no chance to watch the episode until this morning, it's gonna be a quick one!
Let us start where we left off yesterday, Ana and Fernando are kissing and are seen by Luz, who thinks this is major, major news and she runs to wake up the rest of the kids, man if someone woke me for that I'd be a very unhappy camper!
The kids come down to the living room and begin to question Ana and Fernando, were they kissing? Ana and Fer, deny, deny,deny, which is kind of horrible because they are calling little Luz a liar, the younger kids get sent up to bed and only Fanny, Nando, and Alicia remain, they ask their dad if he was kissing Ana and he maintains that they did not kiss but the kids are not buying it.

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #2 : 8/19/14: The Good, The Bad, The Badder and the Ugly
Recap by Cynderella
Uptown: Patrick awaits Sophia’s answer to his marriage proposal. Before she speaks, Greta, her mother, tells her that people don't have to get married. It's now acceptable to live in sin.
Downtown: Somewhere in the ghetto, as usual, the poor people are dancing. Who can blame them? Anyways, it’s Marisol’s 18th birthday party and she doesn't seem too happy about the guest list. Her mother invited all of the geriatric people in the neighborhood. Mom tries to cheer her up by giving her a present, but that doesn’t do the job either. She wants Chava! Suddenly, a horn blares and the crowd roars! Chava strolls in singing, accompanied by more old people playing instruments and wearing white mariachi suits. Oh joy! Nothing says PAR-TAY to an 18 year old like her middle-aged brother serenading her along with mariachis who are old enough to be her grandfather. Marisol and the crowd join in the singing and Chava wraps it up. A few more people give her gifts. Matias, the guy with the soul patch gives her a huge teddy bear and encourages everyone to have a good time! He announces that Chava and Armando are
unemployed. Well, the party is over. He's bummed the poor people out and that's not hard to do. Later, Chava and his mother discuss how the neighborhood business owners have been selling their shops. Tulio, his boss was got an offer he couldn't refuse.

Que pobres tan ricos Tuesday August 19: Alejo takes Lupita to court
Our internet is out, I wrote this on my lap top and sent it to my phone by Bluetooth
I liked.. seeing Tizoc telling Ana Sofia again: "We'll love our baby a ton. My dad raised three kids much happier than yours who grew up in a palace of money."
Because Alejo needs to prove he didn't force Lupita to marry him, he has his stooge lawyers draw up an accusation against her: that she has abandoned the conjugal home.

La Malquerida Starts August 25th. Pobres Recappers Phone Home..........
We have a new TN starting on August 25th, this coming Monday, that will be replacing Que Pobres Tan Ricos, entitled La Malquerida. If you would like to recap this TN, please email our Blog Mom at caray@mappamundi.com or me at navygurl75@gmail.com. I am going to give you some background on this TN first and then a brief synopsis with pictures of the cast. Shall we begin?
La Malquerida is based on a play and not the usual remake after remake of a previously done TN. This TN is based on a book of the same name as the TN by the Spanish Author Jacinto Benavente. He was a Nobel Prize Winner for Literature. The book was published in 1913. There were two movies based on this play. The first was an American Silent Film, entitled "Passion Flower" and was released in 1921. It starred Norma Talmadge and Courtenay Foote. The second movie was a Mexican Production, released in 1949, entitled La Malquerida and it starred Dolores del Rio and Pedro Armendariz. The Producer of this TN, Jose Alberto Castro has stated that he based this TN on the book alone and not the movies. Now on to the synopsis. This will be a barebones synopsis so as to avoid spoilers.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo - #1 - 8/18/14 Well, this is just.... Awkward
The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is abuzz with activity. Rows of gleaming semi trucks arrive with their cargo. Race cars are unloaded from the trailers. Mechanics go to work wielding wrenches, jacks, gauges and polishing cloths.
Race car number 86 moves down the pit lane and onto the track. The roar of the engines gets louder, the tires squeal in a fight between pavement and centrifugal force. The drivers shift gears, the heat from the track rises. We can almost smell fuel and burning rubber as the cars scream by. Chava Cruz presses in the clutch and shifts gears, then accelerates. His pit crew cheers him on. "Faster! Make them eat your dust!" Chava's mind and body coordination becomes almost a dance: clutch, shift, gas pedal, turn. Again and again. Chava speeds under the checkered flag. At trackside his pit crew checks the stopwatch and cheers. Chava pulls into the pit and stops. He removes the steering wheel, lets down the window netting and climbs from the car. He greets Armando, "You're the best mechanic! We're going to win BIG!"
Large disks of chocolate move down a conveyor belt in a dance of their own. Workers in white coats wrap the disks in paper and put them in yellow boxes. Wait... those disks look familiar. Is that Abulita? Yes! I have some of that in my pantry! (We're getting our product placement out of the way in the first five minutes. Thank you Nestle'.) Another worker calls to Sofia who's been inspecting the production line. "Maestro Coria is waiting for you to taste the new product." Sofia makes her way toward him. "Let's go Matias." She praises the workers, "Good work, girls!" and follows him off the production floor.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #158 - Mon 8/18
De que muchas corazones se están rompiendo, se están rompiendo
Simona asks Diego what Nat was talking about in the office. Diego explains that Rodrigo did a lot of stuff to break them up, but it doesn't matter, it's over, and he's ready to move on.
Alonso goes over the hospital to ask Oscar, aka HOTscar what his intentions are toward Karina. Reminder, Alonso…you're the baby daddy, not Karina's daddy.
Paul wants Carmen to be more supportive of Brigitte, but Carmen is just tapped out of compassion. El leaves Paul and Carmen to talk. Paul's surprised about Brigitte as well, but he doesn't want to just leave her to her fate. Carmen doesn't think she can handle it and Paul pats her ineffectually until she cries on his shoulder. He looks uncomfortable.
HOTscar tells Alonso he felt sorry for her, because she was so alone, and then started calling her. He apologizes for thinking Karina was "alone" since Alonso's presence proves she's not.
Paul goes out to tell El that Carmen doesn't want to talk to Brigitte. El understands her heartbreak, having watched the way Carmen raised all the kids. He asks Paul to help Carmen as much as he can. Paul wants to see Brigitte…

Qué Pobres, Lunes 8/18/14 (#160): «Permesso»
Not a whole lot of laughs this evening, but the best moment for me was when Tizoc said "Permesso" to AS.
Reruns:
Saul hitting on Rita; Trofeo spiking AS's coffee; Leo and Diego (who, I notice, is now leaving his shirt unbuttoned like Leo does); Ahole lies to Emiliano about making peace with Mati.
Isela insinuates to Mini that she's got something on Ahole.
New stuff:
Ahole tells Lupe that she can have her divorce, and sole custody of Emi, just as soon as he's reinstated as president of the Editorial. Lupe points out that this was their original deal and he reneged, so why should she believe him this time? He gets angry, recalling that Mati spoiled it the last time by showing up safe and sound. Then he recovers and remembers that he's supposed to be sad that Mati is dead.
Frida chats with Emi. She tells him that Mati is in heaven with her husband and her sons and Emi's grandmother Marce too. Emi tells Frida she'll be a great mom someday!
Isela and Minerva attend the wake. Mini is wearing a super-sexy dress; MA has to peel her off of him. Isela taunts AS about their rivalry to become president of the foundation. Three sheets to the wind and counting, AS calls Isela a rude bleeped name several times. (The Spanish captions don't say what it is; the English captions say "hag.")
Nepo arrives with a band to serenade Mati personally. (Is that really him singing? They should have had him sing much earlier.) Irked by Ahole's histrionics, Leo pulls him off of Mati's coffin so that he can sob on it himself. Ahole protests the "vulgar" music, not realizing (until MA informs him) that Mati loved this kind of music. Frida adds that this is what Mati would have wanted for her farewell party. Ahole dramatically pulls Leo off the coffin to resume his own loud outburst.
Saul corners Rita. He flirts with her; she tries to keep up with trite conversation. Gwendy watches, stunned, as Saul trots out all of his best moves at his best friend's grandmother's funeral.
In front of the former members of the board-of-zombies, MA tells Ahole, "not long ago, Mati said that Aureliano wanted to surprise us a few more times with new lessons to learn." Ahole replies, "how dare you mention the clause at our grandmother's funeral!" "Excuse me, but I didn't mention the clause. YOU mentioned the clause!"
MA thanks the zombies for attending and says the burial tomorrow is family-only. Ahole puts on a show for don Tulio et al. He tells MA he won't be at the burial. He can't take it. MA says that's no problem, because Mati wanted Ahole to take care of the divorce tomorrow anyway, so why not respect her last wish and stay away from the Menchacas forever?

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS -- Reina de Corazones: week of August 18, 2014 - PAGE ONE
Okaaaaay! Welcome to a new week of discussions about our favorite "novela loca." Last week had fantastic recaps and comments ranging from the law of spousal privilege to who would call their boss, "El Supremo," plus there was our weekly compilation of the Wisdom of the Dragon by Anita and an updated mystery list from Vivi. Speaking of compilations, here
is a link to last week's compiled recaps on Dropbox. (for some reason the text does not start right under the title. You have to scroll down to the next page.)
Sadly, though, we will only get four days worth of our fix since Thursday's capitulo is pre-empted by the Premios tu Mundo presentation. Bwahahahaha! If the volume of comments merit a second page, I will post it later in the week.
Can't wait....

♫♫♪ I Wanna Hold Your Ha-a-a-a-and ♪♪♫
[….with apologies to Ringo, Paul, George and John qepd -ed.]
Cap. 20
• Alicia and classmate are home intending to practice a cheer leading routine for the lacrosse team. The two girls bump into Nando who’s on his way out. Classmate sees hearts and flowers for Nando, still in neck brace and the retro head-warming golf cap, who is heading off to who knows where and for who knows what (not that any of us in Viewerville cares a whit whether we know what or where …..) Nando is perturbed and tells Ali and friend to watch where they’re going.

Classmate sees hearts and flowers for Nando, still in neck brace and the retro head-warming golf cap, who is heading off to who knows where and for who knows what (not that any of us in Viewerville cares a whit whether we know what or where …..) Nando is perturbed and tells Ali and friend to watch where they’re going.

Lo que la vida me robó, Friday, 8/15/14: El gran final -- Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.*
*Yogi Berra
Mafalda's* dad tries to teach her a life lesson and ends up getting scolded for ruining a good story:
Papá: ¿Ves? Ponemos la semillita, la tapamos...La regamos un poquito...y dentro de unos días tenemos una hermosa planta.
Mafalda (muy indignada): ¡Ya tuviste que contarme el final!
[Dad: You see? We put in the little seed, we cover it up...We water it a bit...and in a few days, we have a beautiful plant.
Mafalda (very indignant): You had to spoil it by telling me how it ends, didn't you!]
*From the classic Argentine comic strip by Quino, excerpted from the collection, 10 Años con Mafalda.
Unlike Mafalda's dad, we've waited patiently for the chance to tell you how it ends. And here it is, brought to you tonight by Madelaine, Eli, Gloria, Julia Rold and NovelaMaven. [If you listen very hard, you can hear Urban, elna june and Elvira kibitzing in the background.]
By the way, we loved Act 2 so much, we decided to give you two different versions of it.
By the way, we loved Act 2 so much, we decided to give you two different versions of it.
So, my friends, roll your EZ-come EZ-go chairs up to your favorite table on the Patio of Lowered Expectations, and enjoy the show. Just don't try this at home!

Que Pobres tan Ricos... #159... Mati's farewell... A-hole believes he is at the finish line... but Mati still had some aces up her sleeve...
Isela swears to Mini that even if she spent money out loud, they would never stop being rich…
Mati and AS have a bit of emotional convo. Roberto was a gentleman… but a mother knows what she has and her son was useless and never valued what he had. AS admits he had it all… Mati admits that was their mistake, to give them everything without asking anything in return. Mati recognizes Rob was not faithful either. Mati tells AS that part of her bitterness is due to that. Even if you deny it. Mati asks AS to not waste what she has left of her life… even though you have your status back, I know you are not happy. AS argues she is. Mati says when my grandchildren move on, you will be alone. So use the opportunity and enjoy your children while you have them. Please hear the words of this old woman… not for anything but because I have more experience. Mati leaves AS in tears.
Lupe and Emi… she is ranting at him, he swears she won’t let him see his dad. You don’t love him, but I will keep seeing him, even if you get mad at me.
Mati goes to see Frida (this already sounds like goodbye speeches/final lessons of life) Frida tells Mati that she is ready to go on trip to see all of Mexico.. Mati tells her she has to stay and deal with a couple things and then will catch up with her in a few days. She has to leave another issue resolved. She wants to go on that one trip she has left feeling totally at peace. (oh my…)
Frida and Mati tell AS they are heading to Switzerland… AS has a fit with the idea. Mati tells her it is a pleasure trip they have been looking forward to… Leo and MA are also at table. MA is curious, why the idea of the trip. Mati says she has traveled with MA to London and with Leo to Broadway… AS rants that Mati has never considered her opinion… MA can only wish them to enjoy themselves. Mati says no circumstances can separate people. With Love, you can face anything.
At Menchacas, Chuy catches up with Lupe. He did not want to say anything in front of Emi, but he did not like the fact that Emi left school with A-hole without her permission.
At clinic again, Mati is back in, nagging that she does not want more tests… MA asks her to let them pamper and take care of her. Mati says ‘only because you ask, but I feel grrrrrreat!!’.
Carm talks to Lupe… when your dad finds out A-hole and you are married… Lupe is still hopeful her divorce will be done today and she won’t need to tell her family.
Frida and the nerd friend at school. She tells him she is going on trip. He knew she would not fulfill her promises… he should have known better…
Doctor and Mati… she has to rest a bit before leaving… Doctor leaves her alone.. (YIKES!!!) we see nurse legs … but hands are a bit too big for a nurse woman… nurse puts a pill on her hand… gives her a glass of water.
Nurse leaves the room… and we find out it is A-hole.
Something happened or the pill is slow to take effect. MA joins Mati… she is a bit tired. He rolls her chair out of the place running LOL!
At RP house, Leo is watching Frida pack. He seems to want to go along. She says he has the commitment to help MA out. He says not same option A trip to Europe vs Option B staying and working.
Mati and MA share a cute moment looking at a spectacular view of the mountains and fountains… MA glad she is better. He sees her happier every day. She says she is at peace, Life has allowed her to recover not only her sanity but the time to enjoy her loved ones. MA says he was pained to be away from loved ones for so long. She says what matters is that you came back fully grown and mature.. .now you can care for your family. MA says almost everyone accepts him as before… only Emi he is still working on. Mati says we are all one great family (the Menchacas and RPs). That is the biggest valuable we take from life, the love of our loved ones.
Leo and Frida are still packing. She brings up the subject of his relationship. Leo says he spoke to Mati and she was taking it ok. Frida says we have a great grandma. Leo can’t close the suitcase. He nags about it and leaves. Frida finds an envelope that says ‘Fridita, don’t open this letter until you get to your destiny’… (yikes!!)
Mati and MA… she now talks as if she is saying goodbye… she then talks about Aureliano and her always wanted to have a daughter. Mati says ‘the more love you are capable of giving, life will be as beautiful as you want to dream it to be’. (Mati dies right there on her wheelchair, MA doesn’t even notice… he is saying it is a great feeling of peace…) (we hear a song)…MA gets desperate and yells for help. (editor’s note… we will miss you at the patio, dear Mati…)
Frida has the envelope in her hands when she gets the call from MA… she is shocked, puts hand over mouth.
At hospital, Leo and Frida arrive to hug MA… AS is sitting… no need to get upset. We have to wait for news. Doctor comes out. Mati has passed. MA is shocked… Frida hugs him, AS breathes a big sigh.
At fonda, Gwendy and Carm talk to Lupe to coordinate the menus for the wedding.
MA talks to doctor, does not understand what happened. Doctor is also puzzled, she had a heart attack, and even though she did not have any other signs, she did not respond. So sorry…
MA asks Leo, Frida and AS to be strong. AS will make the arrangements for the service at the cathedral… MA will take care of that. He tells them that Mati asked to be watched at the Fonda. AS protests, but MA says it was her last will and it is not up for discussion. AS says ok but then there is no use our friends to find out about the watch since the would not go. MA says Mati’s true friends will be there.
Rita asks Gwendy if she will get a bachelorette party… Gwendy is confused because Rita asks this when she is Nepo’s ex. Rita says she is indifferent to Nepo now. She is glad that DA would have an ‘ally’.
At A-hole’s… A-hole is anxiously waiting for a call to get news of her passing. MA calls him. A-hole fakes not knowing, asking MA if his call is about the divorce. MA is very sad and says have very bad news, want you to find out from me. Mati has just died. A-hole is shouting a skid about being upset when he is smiling from ear to ear… They hang up .’’how sad… I did it!... I got rid of that mummy!... finally she is in heaven’’
DA tells Nepo he will eat at the Menchacas to talk to Rita a while. Nepo is not quite ok with it… thought DA was going to study at Nuevo Leon… DA says he wants to take the opportunity to go to the United.
At fonda kitchen, Lupe is happy telling Carm that Gwendy is so happy with her wedding. Lupe says she will shower a bit before MA gets there. Carm asks if Tomas will go with them. Lupe says yes, but she can’t wait another day… MA arrives very somber… Lupe can tell something is very wrong. MA tells Lupe and Carm that Mati died. Lupe is teary eyed, hugs him hard.
Nepo asks DA.. tell me the truth..the real truth… are you happy?... not that much. Nepo still is reluctant to talk about ‘that’. DA says ‘that’ has a name. Nepo says ‘that which you are… is something I still can’t understand that well… please understand me… I was educated another way… very macho…’ DA says I know… Nepo says ‘put yourself in my shoes (the only ones that matter to you, jerk!)… when one finds out that your child is … like that… well….. I love you my son… I love you very much’.
MA tells Carm and Lupe that he was with her in her last few minutes… and he can tell she went at peace. Chuy and Perla are very upset. Carm too… the mother, mother in law, grandma and friend we all dream of having. Lupe does not know how to tell Emi. MA says it won’t be easy but sometimes children know more than we do about these things… Lupe goes upstairs. Emi can tell she is crying… Lupe tells Emi that ‘your grandma got ill… she had something in her heart… and she won’t be with us anymore… she died, mijo’… Emi gets upset quick. Lupe says all we can do is remember all the nice moments we lived together, about everything she taught us when she was here… and to pray for her.’ Emi is ok with it.
The watch is on. The place is full, all men are in black suits, they are praying the rosary led by Carmelita.
There is a huge portrait of Mati on one wall… there is not a dry eye in the whole place. Chuy talks about the deep pain in his heart. La Donita left us. His wrestling friend tries to cheer him up a bit. Chuy says she was just enjoying time with us, she was laughing… The son of perro A is also there to comfort him. Chuy says Mati left the papers of the house with him. Now he can breathe easy that no one will get them out of there. He will always thank Mati for not leaving them alone. AS is protesting that they are watching her at the ‘colonia’… AS is nagging about the ‘customs’ of the salt cross and onion they put under the coffin… Even Leo says those customs don’t offend anyone… AS keeps nagging. MA leaves her, he’s had enough.
DA comes and Leo hugs him. A-hole makes his appearance. ‘my grandma Mati… granny… why did you leave us, granny?... you were always my model… you left me all alone in this world… why, God??... why granny?... My God! Why did you not take me instead of her?? She deserved to live more!! She did not deserve it!!’ Emi approaches him and A-hole continues the skid ‘she left us, my son, she left us for good’
Nepo arrives to the wake… Trofeo behind him… Nepo remembers when he helped Mike to pay for Mati’s tests… he never thought she was so ill… and she was so pretty, truly… he has brought some booze to help deal with the sorrow… he rants at Trofeo to not take it all… Gwendy comes to them… Nepo does not know it is her… Gwendy tells Nepo ‘we have to love and pamper each other all the time, we never know when it will be too late…’
A-hole keeps feeding crap in Emi’s brain… tells Emi that last time Mati talked to him at the office, she was no longer mad at him. A-hole says he wants them to be a family and live together. Lupe joins them, she is not happy that Emi is alone with A-hole. (too late, Lupe…damage done already)
Trofeo offers AS some of his cup… She is not happy about it until she tastes the ‘coffee’ then her eyes pop out…
Mini and Isela at their house… they can’t believe Mati is being watched at the Fonda. At least after this, A-hole can fulfill the clause from the grandpa. Isela says she has lots of money now, besides, she has another ace card under her sleeve. Mini asks her to spill the beans, Isela won’t.
Leo tells DA that just when grandma and him were getting close and he had discovered that she was very understanding and knew him more than he thought, she is gone … DA tells Leo that Rita is inviting him to go with her to the Uniteds.
A-hole keeps his skid with Lupe… losing Mati is like losing his mom all over again. Now more than ever he wants Emi to go live with him. Frida comes to them… Lupe sends Emi with Frida. Lupe rants at A-hole not to keep looking for her… A-hole starts making smart remarks about her being prettier… no divorce… He warns her that if she keeps pushing for divorce, he will have Emi tell a judge who he wants to live with… Besides, A-hole can sue her for abandoning the home… He basically warns her that she has no choice but to come live with him at his house. When he can fulfill the clause, he will give her the divorce.
Previews: A-hole thinks the ‘clause’ is in his hands… but surprise, surprise!! The notary tells him that Mati left a statement that the ‘marriage’ he had with Lupe was forced, so it is not valid for fulfilling the clause. (YOU GO MATI!!!! ‘otra vez fria, hah, A-hole??’)
I will try to edit this tomorrow… but it was not as bad as I thought … it was nice for her to go at peace even though we know in reality A-hole did kill her…)
Mati and AS have a bit of emotional convo. Roberto was a gentleman… but a mother knows what she has and her son was useless and never valued what he had. AS admits he had it all… Mati admits that was their mistake, to give them everything without asking anything in return. Mati recognizes Rob was not faithful either.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #157, 8/15/14
De que por poco me dormí, me dormí
Can anyone recap for me Tuesday (August 19th)? It's Open House and I won't be home til late.
The beginning bits may be a little out of order.
Alonso's secretary is a dirty, rotten spy. What does Al care if Karina as an admirer? The sneaky broad managed to get Oscar's name and to pass it on to Al. Al calls the hospital, but Oscar the camillero (hospital porter/stretcher-bearer) is on his break.
Mali mentions that Brigitte is starting to show. She gets a tongue lashing from Brat. Carmen reminds Brat a child is a gift. Mali feels bad for setting off Brat. Poor Mali.
Simona is good at business. Even Vicente likes her. Nat pouts. Somebody said conejillo de Indias (guinea pig) at the meeting, but I didn't catch the context. I think Irene was concerned about Telerman not having a lot of experience with fashion textiles and using Eskenda as the guinea pig to expand their business (I completely made that up, but it sounded good didn't it?)
Rod goes to the airport. He is cleverly disguised in a white cap and shades. Reina fans know that only BLACK caps fully disguise the wearer.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 196 - A Mixed Bag - Ding-Dong! We Think The Witch Is Dead but Pedro Makes the Marquis de Sade Proud--14 August, 2014
Robo 196
Private Hospital In
Aguazul, Campeche State, Mexico
Several years in the
future
Dimitrio Mendoza, his sister Montserrat and her husband
Alejandro Almonte are at the bedside of their friend, Victor. Victor, whose
personality is normally vapid, bland and insipid, is today showing signs of
life, as he indignantly delivers the following news about Graciela Mendoza;
“That woman is not sick! She is not paralyzed, All of us
were fooled by her. She got up from her wheelchair to let that MONSTER Pedro
and his goons into your house. She shot me!” He jabs a nod at Montserrat and
Alejandro.
Montserrat Mendoza appeared shocked as she murmurs,
“My own mother! She led that rat bastard to my children!”
Dimitrio Mendoza’s reaction to the information is much
stronger—he is enraged. He rushes out of the room and runs into his ex-wife
Josefina in the hospital lobby. Josefina tells him that Pedro Medina has also
kidnapped Amalia. Dimitrio stares at her and says,
“It was all a (confidence) trick. It is all a lie. Graciela
is Pedro’s accomplice.”
Josefina looks on stunned as Dimitrio mutters with
self-loathing,
“I was fooled—another time.”
Alejandro and Montserrat run by them, making their way out
of the building. Dimitrio joins them but turns back at the last minute.
“Josefina, call Graciela. Tell her that Victor is dead.”
Josefina agrees and makes the call.

Mi corazon es tuyo, Capitulo 19, 08/14/2014 Family portrait
Seven kids in the house, but it
takes a weasel to make a family
Fernando and Ana are in Fer’s
room.
She is trying to catch the
strange animal that he found in his bed, so she crawls on the carpet, calling
for the creatures, while he acts like a freaked out damsel (isn’t that nice,
for a change?).
Their eyes meet for a second and
it looks like they are about to kiss, but then the kids rush into the room, one
by one, and then the adults, too (Nico, Bruno, Manuela). Ana manages to find
the animal and the younger kids introduce it as their new pet, Nandito. Nando
doesn’t look too happy to share a name with such an animal, but Fanny is more
than willing to help Luz and the boys convince Fer to keep it in the
house. Ana, Bruno and Nico also try to convince the boss, but he is very
serious and very allergic to the furry one, so it doesn’t look like he’s going
to play nice.
Deciding this would be a great
moment to change the dynamic in the room, Ana starts a pillow fight, one that
the kids and even Fernando eventually join, all laughing and having the time of
their lives, while Nico, Bruno and Manuela watch from the sidelines. I would
have thought that Manuela would be freaked out by all the cleaning that pillow
feathers dancing in the air imply, but she doesn’t look worried, she just
thinks that Don Fernando should marry Ana. The men agree with her: this is how
a family should look like and thanks God that they are all a family again.
At Chicago Club, Jonny is saying
something suspicious to one of Doroteo’s guys, I think; Jen sees the whole
exchange, although she can’t hear what they are talking about.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos # 157 and 158: 8/14/14: Frida takes a Day Trip
Hola Amiguis! Due to a snafu it seems there was no recap for Wednesday, so I am combing capitulos 157 and 158. The Wednesday recap will be very short. Shall we begin?
Capitulo 157
The micro bus has been renamed Lupita and the Menchaca plus Rita, and Emi, Rita is driving get on the bus. Tizoc sings the micro bus song and some guy cuts Rita off. (Ed Note: The actor Rita hit is Brazilian I beleive last seen in Estcrito en las Estrellas) Anyways, Rita isn't happy and gets out of the bus when this guy insults her. She is so mad she head butts him and knocks him out. Chuy convinces Rita to move the bus and get out of there. They finally arrive at Xochimilco to the Our Lady of Sorrows Shrine. While the Menchaca are debarking here come the RP's that would be Dona Mati, AS, Leo and Frida, driven by chofer. MA takes his own car. The Menchaca are happy they could make it. AS has done a deal with two photographers and some actors. The actors are playing poor people that AS is giving alms to. She plays it up for these photographers and the "poor people" play right along. She gives them food and money I think. The photographers take pictures of AS and the "poor people" for El Editorial Magazine to show her largesse toward the needy. Frida and Leo roll their eyes.

She is so mad she head butts him and knocks him out. Chuy convinces Rita to move the bus and get out of there. They finally arrive at Xochimilco to the Our Lady of Sorrows Shrine. While the Menchaca are debarking here come the RP's that would be Dona Mati, AS, Leo and Frida, driven by chofer. MA takes his own car. The Menchaca are happy they could make it. AS has done a deal with two photographers and some actors. The actors are playing poor people that AS is giving alms to. She plays it up for these photographers and the "poor people" play right along. She gives them food and money I think. The photographers take pictures of AS and the "poor people" for El Editorial Magazine to show her largesse toward the needy. Frida and Leo roll their eyes.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #156, 8/14/14
De Que Todo No se Vale
en el Amor y la Guerra, Todo No se Vale en el Amor y la Guerra
Read more »
Not much happened
tonight folks, so I’m keeping it short and sweet.
Diego’s captors take him bound and gagged to the police
station. El, Morales and their police crew have been informed of “Rod’s”
capture and hustle him off to the cells without question. Mom and son bounty
hunters tell El every detail of the capture and then try to get their reward, while
Diego tries to convince the underling cops guarding his cell that he’s in fact
Diego. They don’t believe him, so he uses the ruse of needing to use the
bathroom to knock one of the cops out and make a run for it. He is swiftly
knocked out cold by another cop. El informs Alonso and Grumps of Rod’s capture,
and Grumps informs Irene. They all rush to the police station. By the time Irene
and Grumps get there, Diego has managed to convince El and Al of his identity
by telling them things only Diego would know. Bounty hunter mom and son don’t believe
the twin story and think the cops just don’t want to give them the million peso
reward. El is able to pacify them by saying they'll get a letter of commendation,
AND a police escort back home.
At Caprico, Simona makes the mistake of asking Nat if she’s
seen Diego. She hasn’t been able to reach him all weekend since she saw him Saturday
evening. Unfortunately, Nat has decided that all is fair in love and war. In
other words, she’s decided she can be a mean girl. She tells Simona about Diego
being seen kissing on some older lady that weekend, and that it’s not unusual
for him to just disappear for a couple of days like this. Even after Nat learns
that Diego actually spent the weekend tied up (literally), she’s content with
letting Simona continue to believe that Diego is a cheater and a flake.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó, # 195, 8-13-2014: Pedro Goes For Broke!
And Kidnaps Victoria, Laurito, Romina, and Also Amelia For Good Measure. Lots Of Other Awful Things Happen, Too!
 |
| My swan song final full recap, folks. Enjoy! |
Warehouse o' All Nefarious Activity
Montserrat has been chained into a fancy-looking water torture box by Pedro and his goons. The box is filling up slowly and steadily. She calls for help. The water will soon be over her golden head.
Half of Agua Azul (Dominga, Macario, Josefina, Esmeralda, Rosario, Padre Anselmo, Carlotta. Nadia, Romina) has gathered together to worry collectively about the fate of Montse. The only person not present is Graciela, who is in her bedroom alone in her anguish, having just confessed to Padre Anselmo that she has been lying to everyone about her illness. Carlotta asks Padre A. if Gracie needs anything, and he responds with one of the best lines of the night:
"Yes," says Padre A. "She needs the presence of God in her heart."
 |
| Very much on board with Padre Anselmo's diagnosis of what ails Graciela |

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #155 - Wednesday 8/13
De que todo es cuestión de Lupita, todo cuestión Lupita
Hola amigas/os. I thought this was going to be another grumpy Karen installment but by God’s grace I had a Lupita heavy episode. I recapped a bit of the two dunces who kidnaped Diego in spite of my poor nerves (think Jane Austen’s Mrs. Bennet) but later pulled out my recapper privilege card. But I promise I included the important stuff. Thanks so much Sara for this important option.
Rod manages to escape his latest conquest and almost – unfortunately almost– gets caught by the police.

Mi Corazon es tuyo, # 18, 13 Aug 2014... New pet in the house... and Nando awakes in more ways than one. Even the 'perfect kid' like Leon has secrets
Refrito: Fer thanking Ana for being there in this moment. Ana saying couldn’t be anywhere else but at your side and with him.
Outside in waiting area, IsaSkank returns and Fanny tells her Fer and Ana went in, Isa turns green. Leon arrives to support Fanny, ‘don’t worry, everything will be alright’.
Ana tells Fer to talk to Nando and tell him everything his heart wants to tell him.
My son, my great pride and joy, please forgive me. When you get better, I have many plans for us. We can go camping like when you were little, remember? Remember I taught you to shave for the first time? It turned out all uneven (laughs). We can talk by a bonfire, we can talk about everything we haven’t talked about, you can tell me about your life… and I will tell you about mine. I need for us to talk… time does not come back… we have to make up for all the lost time, the time I wasted… I want to get to know you, what you think, what you feel, I want to hear about your dreams… I need you to get better, I know you will get better. You like the idea of camping? … we can have a great time, dear. You and I alone…. I need you, son…. I love you so much. (Ana grabs his shoulders in support, he leans back on her, crying desperately)
Isa asks Fanny why the nanny went in with the father.
F: Doctor asked if they were Nando’s parents, and my dad said yes… that is why. (Isa leaves confused)
Leon asks Fanny how is Nando doing. She says he hasn’t woken up. He is sorry. She thanks him for coming. She introduces him to her grandpa Nico as her novio. He in turn introduces Jenny, his novia. Leon is shocked… Nico asks ‘why that face? … seriously! She is my girl!’
Fanny and Leon show support to Alicia. Fernando and Ana come out (minus the surgery bunny suits). Fernando and Ana join the family. A few yards away, IsaSkank grunts through her teeth ‘I should have been the one that went in with Fernando! Not that stupid!’
At the house, the small kids are also worried about Nando. Sebastian gets scared about some small animal coming by.. the kids walk toward the animal one behind the other. It is a huron (sp?) Sebastian grabs him. Luz wants to touch him. Sebastian says probably a neighbor lost it. We have to be careful we don’t get caught. But surely Bruno caught them right away. Even though the kids hide the pet behind Seba, it makes enough noise and Bruno insists long enough to know ‘something is rotten in Denmark’ LOL!.
Back at hospital, in ladies room (well, one of the ones there is not really a LADY) IsaSkank is confronting Jenny (whom she refers to as ‘mecerita’[little waiter]) and Jenny is too happy to engage… yup, Nico is my guy and we love each other… IsaSkank demands Jenny address her as ‘Miss’. Jenny happily replies ‘if you are a Miss, I am the Novels prize in literature’. IsaSkank does not waste breath in correcting her ‘it is Nobel prize, nak-ha… and I will make sure you won’t see a penny of the Lasc fortune’. ‘why? Is it all going to be for you?’ ‘what are you insinuating?’ .. then she called her ‘trepadora’ … IsaSkank brags about having lots of money… I don’t need Fernando’s, my family has CLASS… I have degrees, I have seen places you can’t even pronounce… yada yada… Jen rebuttes ‘no matter how hard you try, you will end up empty-handed, because the nannie will will Don Fer over you, you white-collar ‘trepadora’. It shows easily that Ana is infinitely better than you! ’.(no she didn’t !! yes she did!! IsaSkank slapped Jen!!) … (round 2) ‘did your teachers and doctors teach you this?? Oh my, what a great education, Miss!! (Jen gets closer to IsaSkank in a very confrontational chest-forward way that scares Isa, she uses her purse as shield.. )‘no, I am not going to lower myself, if I slap you I will contaminate myself… ‘ Isa laughs it off, ‘where do you know Ana??... why are you so sure that Ana…’ ‘Nico told me!! And let me repeat it… you will lose, you ranch guerita… you skunk tail’ (Jen leaves on that high note, leaving IsaSkank grunting names for Jen like nak-ha and fifth rate waitress).

Mi Corazon es tuyo #17 08/12/2014 Nando takes a nasty spill
Hi friends, I'm still crazy busy at work but I hope to be back to normal next week, until then enjoy the recap.
Two jerks at a restaurant:
Johnny,Ana, Fernando and Isabitch find themselves in the same restaurant, it's an awkward situation, made worse by Isa throwing a tantrum that would make any toddler proud. How bad is this encounter? She loudly states that she's surprised the "help" can afford to eat at such an establishment, she then follows this up my loudly insulting Ana. When Ana tells Fernando that she is happy the situation with Fanny was resolved Isa shouts from her table to "keep it down, we are not in the market"-Ana fumes but says nothing else, although I find myself wishing that she would go over to Isabelas table and beat her to a pulp.
Fernando for his part just sits there and lets Isabela throw her fit-he's a smart man and I can't for the life of me understand why he would allow this scene to continue. Isabela has just verbally attacked the woman that takes care of his children and he sits there and says nothing?!

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo, capitulo 194. 08/12/14. Welcome to Pedro's circus.
Skipping the old and moving right into the new.......
Nadia can't believe that Adolfo fooled them all. It appeared that he had changed for the better. He was so loving. Padre agrees. He was a good guy who realized all the damage he was causing by being el alacran. He tried to fight between the good and the bad. Unfortunately he realized the only way out was death. Pedro gave him no other options.
Montse advises Dimitro to finally close this chapter in his life and move onto a new one. He never wanted to kill anyone but once he found out Adolfo was el alacran he had too. Even though he knows that Nadia and Josefina hate him. Montse admits that all this affected Josefina greatly but she doesn't hate you. She above anyone knew that you had to do what you had to do to detain a criminal. I didn't detain him replies Dimitro. I killed him. That is what I wanted and he wanted too. A policeman told me that his gun was not loaded. It's true that he wanted an exit and unfortunately chose that way to do it replies Montse. Dimitro thought that once he killed el alacran, he would be free. But instead he feels cold and more dead then before. Montse advises him to seek peace from within. Your life did not die with Monica, you have to lifetime to live. You are a great person and I love you. Give yourself a chance. You are the only one that can. Dimitro says he loves her too.
Next day.... Dimitro stares at a photo of him and Monica. He walks around the apartment pulling down her picture and putting it away. The doorbell rings and its Josefina.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #156: our loving couple is reunited and a pilgrimage is planned

Ok, can I just start with the Avances?Q.
T.
H.
?
Andres is going to show that picture of Rodrigo smooching the ruca (which annoyed me. She didn't look that old to me...or worn out) to Nat and she's going to fall for it?! Please. Make this stop.
Well, on to the recap. School started yesterday, so I'm a little punchy. Pardon my brevity and grumpiness.
El gets his evidence and proceeds to show it to Alonso and Diego (that won't compromise the case at all.)
Karina is still lonely and falling back into her old habits of emotional blackmail. She also uses the word "incubator" a lot. It reminds me of Diana. Alonso spends the episode trying to appease her. He knows he needs to get someone to stay with her. He ropes his secretary into the job. Meanwhile, the mail nurse asks a hospital administrator for Karina's phone number. I'm all for this. Maybe he will shut her up.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #153 - Mon 8/11
De que encontraron pruebas, encontraron pruebas
El sees Carmen's frantic mouth-to-mouth of the Mushroom Man and as usual, comes to the wrong conclusion. He kills a perfectly innocent bouquet of roses. Carmen tastes Paul's soup to see QTH kind of spice wimp he is and not only notices just how spicy it is, but notices the innocent face of Lupita peeking around the counter.
Grumps wonders what Rodrigo is living off of, out there in the cold, cruel world. But, oh, well, whatevs. Diego brings up his plan to partner with another company and Grumps heartily approves. Caprico's reputation should earn her the interest of plenty of suitable suitors. And, in the meantime, there's enough cash in the safe (dun, dun, dun) to cover their expenses for 2 months.
Rodrigo ponders how far he's fallen, having to buy suits…off the rack! At the mall! He runs into Karina, who mistakes him for Diego, but still wonders why he's at the mall, buying a cheap suit. He makes an excuse about it being a present for the chauffeur, for his daughter's wedding, and Karina goes on her merry way. She's already showing a little bit of a bump.
Karina was on her way to meet with Alonso. She jokes that she's getting fat and happy and mentions running into Diego. Alonso asks her to wait while he runs after…Rodrigo! Rod gets away, but Alonso calls Eleazar to tell him where he saw Rod. El says he needs details…in person.

Qué Pobres, Lunes 8/11/14 (#155): I'm an Executive! WHEEEEE!!
Can any other recapper claim to have done TWO weddings where the groom dies before he can consummate his marriage? Yeah, because I've done that. Here's the other one.
Leftovers from Friday:
- "How dare you hang up on me? Don't you know who I am??" Ahole screams into his dead telephone; Tizoc's manager Charly terminated the call some time ago.
- Frida ponders her choices: Adoption? Go out of town to have the baby, so no one will ever know? Or perhaps she can choose the child's new parents herself.
New:
It's the day of Lupe's surgery. She tells her family she's taking a Chinese cooking class, so she might be out late. (Is she planning to make egg rolls tonight after her surgery? Silly.) After Lupe leaves the house, Carmelita phones MA, who is waiting outside, to give him the all-clear. He enters the fonda and greets the rest of the Menchacas, who give him a chilly reception.

retrospect, his reluctance to have children was the right thing. She
now feels she doesn't want to have children with him. He goes into

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: THE FRONT PAGE -- El Señor de los Cielos II, En Otra Piel, et cetera, week of August 11, 2014
Here's your page for the new week, folks.
Many of us watched the chilling Pablo Escobar: El Patrón del Mal. The telenovela inspired me to read Gabriel García Márquez's account of the kidnapped journalists' ordeal, Noticia de un secuestro and to compare GGM's version of events with those in the novela.
Recently, I came across a review of a novel that has just been translated into English but whose original Spanish version appeared in 2011: El ruido de las cosas al caer by Juan Gabriel Vásquez. The author -- as well as the narrator of the novel -- grew up during the bloody ascendency of Escobar. The narrator was 14 in 1984, the year Escobar had Rodrigo Lara Bonilla killed; he was 17 when Guillermo Cano, the fearless editor of El Espectador, was slain; and he was 19 in the terrible year when the presidential candidate Luis Carlos Galván was assassinated and some time later, a commercial airplane was blown up, killing all the passengers on board.
El ruido de las cosas al caer feels like a very personal novel, but it is well-grounded in time and place; it may be of interest -- either in its original Spanish or in its English translation -- to some of us who are still trying to make sense of that terrible time in Colombia's history. The opening sentence of the novel caught my eye:
"El primero de los hipopótamos, un macho del color de las perlas negras y tonelada y media de peso, cayó muerto a mediados de 2009."
(The first of the hippos, a male pearl-black in color and weighing a ton and a half, fell down dead in the mid-2009.)
The animal had escaped from Escobar's vanity zoo, Nápoles, and had been a menace to everything -- animal and vegetable -- around him. The decision to kill him and then display his cut-up remains triggered a media circus in Colombia. The writer uses this incident to draw his narrator's thoughts back to his own past and how the national trauma affected his life.
Interestingly, while author Juan Gabriel Vásquez lives in Spain these days, he spent some time as a reporter on the late Guillermo Cano's newspaper, El Espectador, in Bogotá earlier in his career.
You can get a sample of this book on Kindle, if you're interested. I'd be curious to hear what you think of it.

Mi Corazon Es Tuyo #15, Who's turn is it to clean the bathroom?
I can’t believe it. My second recap and our second Diego siting. The first one was on my first recap.
We open with Diego still in the jungle, still sexy sweaty, and still taking pictures of Natalia. Not sure what the purpose of the scene is, maybe so we don't forget he exists, they flirt-fight with each other, the end.
Nando is at school looking at a party invitation on the web. Ximena comes up and kisses him and asks if he’s going to the party. Probably not. She asks why Fanny isn’t answering her phone. He tells her that she’s fought with their father and left home over Leon. She then asks him to do more homework for her, when he hesitates, she asks him to come with her to the party as a couple. He agrees, Xi kisses him, and Gus snaps some pictures of the kiss.
Isabela arrives at León’s room to talk with Fanny. Fanny says she has nothing to talk about with an ‘ofrecita’. Couldn’t find this slang, but I’m sure it means a woman who offers herself to a man freely. Nice!

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo # 192: 8/8/14: Who Will Save Your Soul Fofito?
Ahoy Amiguis. What an episode. This is my last full recap for Robo and I want to thank all the recappers who recapped this longggg TN with me. Thanks goes to Urban, Gloria, NovelaMaven, Julia, Eli, Elna June! I have loved all of your recaps and most times they have been way better than the episodes themselves, it was a pleasure to recap with you. You guys rock for sticking it out. I also want to give kudos to all the commenters who stuck it out with us and the oftentimes hilarious comments and snarking that have gone on. What a pleasure it has been to see new people comment and also our faithful group that continues to comment and give us pearls of wisdom. I thank you! I have included an earworm that really has nothing to do with the storyline here, but we need some levity, si? So I have picked a great one for you to listen to. Undercover Karoke
Shall we begin?
Eric and Esme have arrived at Don Regino's home, that would be Eric's Papa. Eric greets his Papa and wants to talk to his Mama too. Problem is Mama is dead has been for months. Eric asks for forgiveness, but Don R seems to think it's a little too late, it's been years now. Not only did the Moms grieve for her lost little boy, she also grieved for Eric not knowing what had become of him. Don R tells Eric he is dead to him, and as Eric is about to leave, Esme, bless her heart, isn't having it and puts her foot down. We'll get back to them in a tic.
We interrupt this very What Would Esme Do, hereafter known as WWED, for the warning du jour, when PBN (Poor Blind Nadia) tells Monse for the fourteenth millionth time that not only is Vicki (Victoria) in danger but so are Monse and her children, cue the male chorus of doom (Thanks NovelaMaven).

He knows she would know he can’t stay and watch from outside. Mati is sure Lupe will understand sooner or later… But Mati tells MA maybe he should tell the Menchacas…. MA says if he knows her as he thinks, Lupe would face it without bothering her family.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #151- Friday 8/8/2014
De que hablan mucho, hablan mucho.
So.many.words.So.little.plot.
Vivi, thank you for yesterday's recap!
Really short and sweet. Minimal details.
- Irene and Grumps hug it out.
- El ignores Carmen's call.
Brat (Brigitte) is still looking for work. Paul le Champignon (MM) overhears her griping about her father not helping her. He doesn't think he should be just a sugar daddy. She shouldn't have something if she doesn't deserve it. Brat leaves in a huff (when does she NOT leave in a huff?) Carmen lets MM know they can only be friends.
