In 2010, many girls screamed of excitement, and others of sadness, when they heard that Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber were dating. This lovely couple seemed to be in love, it looked like Cupid had chosen a powerful arrow for them. However, in 2011, the rumors of a break up started to spread out because of the paternity scandal Justin had; yet the couple dismissed the rumors when they were spotted on a day trip to the beach with Justin’s younger half-siblings. Nevertheless, the rumors of a break up continued, as it seemed to be like the couple broke up and then got back together. It was the same pattern until one day they did not find a way to come back to each other; the Disney star chose a path and the singer of "Baby" took another one. Yet, the media continuously spreads rumors of reconciliation because of the posts they write on Instagram or Twitter. Selena and Justin have been with different people since the last break up, for instance, she was with Zedd, who made a musical video with her, while Mr. Bieber was with the model, Hailey Baldwin. However, it seems to be that they can not forget their feelings for each other; the last post of JB, an old picture of him and Selena kissing, proves something about their relationship, maybe he wanted to send Selena a message of how much he misses her. It seems that Selena received the message and it looks like she feels the same way her ex does, because she hit like on Justin’s post and commented “Perfect”.
Do you think Jelena is going to get back together? Or do you think they will remain broken up? Well, let's just hope they choose the best for their hearts and choose the happiness path, if it is to be together, then so be it, if it is to be apart, then so be it. Either way, if they are meant to be, they will find the way for their souls to be together.
Stereo Picnic: Living a dream
By: María Camila Suárez Doria 10A
On March 10th, the country's most important alternative music event began, Stereo Picnic. Stereo Picnic is a music festival which was created six years ago, that features more than fifty international and national artists, such as Snoop Dog , Noel Gallagher, Kygo and The Sidesteppers. The festival took place on the outskirts of northern Bogota during three days, in which more than 60,000 people not only got the chance to hear their favorite artists perform, but also were able to participate and enjoy multiple activities such as a hippie market. The 2016 Stereo Picnic was a high-quality event full of unforgettable moments, top-rated artists and fun cultural and artistic activities. The event developed on three different stages: Huawei, Pepsi Music and Tigo music. This structure allowed all of the assistants to rotate and visit the stage they preferred, depending on the artists they wanted to hear. Stereo picnic is definitely not a rap, reggae ,or reggateon festival; as I said before it is an alternative music concert. It features rock, electronic , pop, and new folklore musicians, for example Florence and the Machine, Zedd, Of Monsters and Men, Jack ü, Alabama Shakes and Jungle . Moreover, the festival included a unique and creative platform that enabled deaf people to “feel” the music that was played. All of this made Stereo picnic a “different” event that almost anyone could enjoy. Even though the festival's main attraction was music, it also included several gastronomical, artistic and cultural activities that made this event a unique experience. For instance, the assistants could enjoy an enormous food court, a flea market, an outdoors cinema, henna tattoos, camping and mural painting activities. Additionally, there was an enormous sale called “the hippie market” which sold vintage posters, old music vinyls, and hipster-styled clothing. Besides, several actors disguised as famous rock stars walked around the festival taking selfies with anyone who wanted to. In conclusion, Stereo Picnic was an unforgettable experience in which classic musicians such as Noel Gallagher met with new pop culture idols like Zedd, to create a unique experience. Stereo Picnic 2016 was an awesome event full of fun and top quality music; I can not wait for the next year’s edition!
