Shakira: She-wolf



In these days the singer Shakira, the most famous Colombian vocalist, just launched the video "She-wolf", both in English and Spanish, which is her first single track of the upcoming albums, in the two languages, whose names are not known yet. The song has not been as successful in Colombia, neither English nor Spanish, as the ones from her past albums.

That is due to the popularity of the nine-times Grammy Award winner is lowering progressively in her own country where Colombians prefer other less-famous internationally singers such as Juanes and Carlos Vives, even when they do not sing in English though. Many people say Shakira has forgotten her roots and now even speaks in a foreigner accent, and they do not like her love relationship with Antonio De La Rua, the son of a former President of Argentina, because they say he does not do anything for a life and he is a lazybones. For many Colombians celebrities personal lives are an important fact and they do not forgive anything against the nationality.
But we cannot forget what Shakira has done as a successful singer and as a Colombian: her music is appreciated everywhere not only because of her talent but because of her wise decision to sing in English, that makes many people all-around the world to know that there is a country somewhere named Colombia. Besides, she has done some social work since she owns the Pies Descalzos (bare feet) Fundation which helps children in Colomabia by building schools and stuff. In the other hand, her personal life is only hers, she can do whatever she wants with it as long she does not hurt anyone nor our country.
I think she is a beautiful person both her personality and her physical appearence. About the last one, she is really hot, I had the chance of being close to her before her concert with Carlos Vives last year and, my God, she is beautiful. As you can read, I like her totally.

General Mendieta is a Colombia National Police commissioned officer who was recently rescued from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia FARC after eleven years of kidnapping. He was took prisoner in 1998 in the city of Mitu, in the Colombian Amazon, when he was practicing as the commander of city police bureau, in the rank of litenuant colonel.

Mendieta was rescued with three more Armed Forces of Colombia members by Colombia Army through 'The Chameleon Operation'. Until that day General Mendieta was the police and military force kidnapped the with the highest rank in the world. Two facts involves me with this.
