Plot: Blanca Bravo is a policewoman trained at the Police Academy in Mexico City. She is young, strong stern and idealistic. Upon her arrival in Ciudad Juárez, she has to cope with the string of murdered women, two each month in average, all of them young and pretty, most of them workers from the maquiladoras. Public opinion talks about a serial killer. In another story, Juanita Sánchez comes from Cintalapa, Chiapas, to work in the maquila. She is 18, hardworking and humorous. In just three months she turns into a selfassertive woman, learns modern patterns of thought in the maquiladora and finds herself a boyfriend, Cutberto, who has a house of his own. There is a promising future ahead of her. Pure chance – the way chance plays in a society where violence is entitled – throws a shadow upon her bright destiny.

Personal View: What can I say about this movie? Well nothing says more than this: “Mexican Cold Case”. Nice one, nice history but is like watching Cold Case in Spanish audio.

Swine Flu in Mexico

The recent new i got when i back home was that they are asking people to not travel to US and Mexico.
People “should avoid traveling to Mexico or the U.S. unless it is very urgent for them,” Andorra Vassiliou said.

The swine flu is back and killing again. Until now we already got 26 cases in Mexico [and they think that this virus can be responsible for at least 03 deaths there], 6 in Canada and 2 in Spain, and they are looking for more cases in Israel and New Zealand.

All started on Monday when a young student back from Mexico to Spain had the virus confirmed.
President Barack Obama said Monday that the outbreak was a “cause for concern” but not a “cause for alarm.”

The swine flu is contagious by air and as the name said, usually affects pigs. So if is a pig disease the humans have no natural immunity against this virus, and to makes things harder during the ill the disease is in a constantly mutation. Nice isn’t?

The symptoms are similar to common flu. They include fever, lethargy, lack of appetite, coughing, runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

The virus spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes around another person. People can become infected by touching something with the flu virus on it and then touching their mouth, nose or eyes.

So take care people. And just for a while don’t travel there. You ll be safer at your home away from there.

That’s all folks ;*
