#Garcia Rovira

[mentaldiary-ah]

Women fighters, in fiction and in reality, have always fascinated me.

I grew up never getting tired of The Mummy Returns (2001) and its action-packed adventures. It features one of my most favorite cinematic moments: the fight scene between Nefertiri and Anck-su-namun, both tasked to be protectors in the kingdom of Egypt some 3,000 years ago. One may think they must be ahead of their time for training women for battle and assigning such tasks to them.

Fight scene from The Mummy Returns (2001)

There are many other scenes in the said film showing both women as their 1930s reincarnation, Evy (Nefertiri) and Meela (Anck-su-namun), fighting with and among men. Not once did Rick, Evy's husband, handed over guns to her to help them battle the enemies and save their son. Their kind of relationship was yet another reason why I have always loved that film.

Seeing The Mummy Returns again for the nth time, I figured these female characters have played a significant part in my upbringing. They showed me women can fight, too, when it was most needed. They didn't have to be the stereotypical damsels in distress waiting to be rescued because they can save themselves while saving others, as well. In retrospect, at such a young age I knew I wanted to be like them. I wasn't very much into the princess thingy, except for the Xena the Warrior Princess kind. In fact, I once dreamed of becoming like the Power Rangers with all their skills and stunts.

Through the years, I have been learning more about Filipinas who left their mark in our history. In an era of a patriarchal society where women were reinforced to be homemakers & deemed as the lesser sex, there were several of them who strayed against the conventions and took part in the never-ending fight for freedom.

One of them was notorious for polishing her nails and putting on red lipstick before going to battle, because she believed she also fought for the freedom to be herself as a woman. Another one used to be a movie superstar until the war. She joined the guerrilla movement to avenge for her husband's murder, and in the process she saved an entire village from being killed by the colonizers.

But the courage of Filipina women in history has been witnessed not only at home and in the battlefield. There were women who stood up for their right to receive formal education and their right to vote.

There were women who saved people's lives by caring for the injured and the sick and feeding the hungry.

Clockwise from left: Melchora Aquino AKA Tandang Sora (from Wikipedia); Josefa Llanes-Escoda (from Bayaning Filipino on Blogger); Maria Orosa (from Orosa Family); and Dr. Fe del Mundo (from National Academy of Science and Technology)

There were women who continue to fight for justice and for their right to be heard, not just as victims but survivors of a violent, tragic past.

There were women who prove themselves worthy to be recognized by the world for their talents, abilities, and dedication in their respective fields.

There were women leaders who empowered their countrymen towards a better quality of life.

And before I forget, I was raised and surrounded by strong women who all the while face their own share of battles in life.

We as women are fighters, and we should never let anyone tell us otherwise.

Meanwhile, I believe I have arrived at a full circle. I may haven't reached my dream of becoming a Power Ranger but who would have thought that as an adult, I would portray a woman fighter myself?

Happy Women's Month!

687) Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya, ERC, Izquierda Republicana de Cataluña, Republican Left of Catalonia, Esquerra Republicana, Republikańska Lewica Katalonii – centrolewicowa nacjonalistyczna i demokratyczno-socjalistyczna partia polityczna postulująca niepodległość Katalonii z ziem należących do Hiszpanii i Francji. Utworzona w 1931, nielegalna w latach 1939–1975 za rządów generała Franco, od 2003 członek trójpartyjnej koalicji rządzącej Katalonią. Na XIX Kongresie partyjnym w 1993 ERC przyjęła dokument programowy, który obowiązuje do dziś. Organizuje on działalność partyjną w trzech obszarach: esquerra (kultywowanie ideałów lewicowych podczas debaty politycznej), república (opowiadanie się za republikańskim ustrojem państwa w opozycji do monarchii konstytucyjnej, jaką jest obecnie Hiszpania) i Catalunya (dążenie do niepodległości Katalonii). Pod przywództwem Francesca Macii w 1931 partia zadeklarowała niepodległość Republiki Katalońskiej, co nie zgadzało się jednak z postanowieniami nowej konstytucji Drugiej Republiki Hiszpanii. W 1934 partia pod przywództwem Lluísa Companysa ponownie ogłosiła niepodległość Katalonii, jednakże w ramach „Hiszpańskiej Federacji” zaproponowanej przez Companysa. Była to reakcja na wejście prawicowych ministrów do rządu Republiki. Jednakże liderzy partyjni (Companys także) i cały skład rządu katalońskiego (Generalitat) zostali zaaresztowani, a specjalna autonomia Katalonii została zawieszona do 1936. W 1936 ERC postanowiła wejść w skład Hiszpańskiego Frontu Ludowego, aby w ten sposób wziąć udział w wyborach, które Front wygrał. Esquerra stała się jego wiodącym elementem w Katalonii próbując jednocześnie zachować jego jedność w obliczu narastających sprzeczności pomiędzy POUM i komunistami. ERC została zdelegalizowana (wraz z innymi członkami Frontu Ludowego) przez generała Francisco Franco po tym, jak doszedł on do władzy w 1939. Companys został aresztowany przez niemieckich agentów na terenie Vichy, sprowadzony do Francji i rozstrzelany w 1940.

En tu pecho enfermo de miedo

Toda esa puta electricidad

Era una mentira más de lo que fuimos

Valentian Dragoons

An “Astra Militarum” Kill Team

Background: Sappers

Squad Quirk: City-Fighters

High Gothic Motto: “Nec Deos Neque Regum” (‘Neither Gods Nor Kings’)

Battlecries: “¡Libertad!” “Faith and Valor!” “To the barricades!”

The Valentian Compañeros:

Sergeant Leona Pujol (power sword, plasma pistol): Leader Specialist. Personality Trait: Expert. Assigned to monitor the Valentians, she defected to them, and now monitors Ultramar for the Valentian Reach.

Corporal ‘Timber’ Garcia (chainsword, lasgun albeit modeled with a shotgun): Leader Specialist. Personality Trait: Courageous. 

PFC ‘Static’ Seguro (lasgun, vox caster): Comms Specialist. Personality Trait: Haunted (so, so much PTSD)

PFC ‘Frosty’ Tirador (sniper rifle): Sniper Specialist. Personality Trait: Nerves of Steel. Warm and friendly around the campfire, his whole demeanor changes when he picks up a weapon.

Pvt ‘Wildcat’ Granada (lasgun, bomb-throwing anarchist): Demolitions Specialist. Personality Trait: Bit of a nutter in the way you’d expect from a dedicated explosives enthusiast/grenadier.

Pvt ‘Hothead’ Encendero (flamer): Demolitions Specialist. Personality Trait: Gung-ho. Uses Escher bitz so she’s runnin’ around with a badass haircut and buff arms.

Pvt ‘Fancy’ Ferrer (lasgun): Scout Specialist. Dutiful. Literal poster-boy for the Valentians- appears on a fairly common recruiting poster under a slogan like ‘Mutual Aid is the Valentian Way!’ with smaller print explanation on the bottom for anyone who’s that far out of the loop ‘Ultramar’s Citizens suffer at the hands of the Death Guard! They helped us with the Hrud, it’s OUR TURN!’

Pvt Nadal (plasmagun): Heavy Specialist. Personality Trait: Eagle-Eye. (please don’t roll a 1 on overcharge)

Pvt Rovira (flamer): Veteran Specialist. Personality Trait: Pious. Has a bob haircut- obviously has a bit of hero worship for the Sisters of Battle.

Pvt Costa (lasgun): Veteran Specialist. Personality Trait: Wiseass.

Pvt Alcantara (lasgun): Veteran Specialist. Personality Trait: Grognard. Basically the Pvt Hudson of the squad; constantly complaining.

Ultramar Defense Auxilia Observers/Defectors to the Navarran Reach:

Tempestor Leona Pujol (power fist, plasma pistol): Leader Specialist. Personality Trait: Expert. You can only have one Leader, so if I field my Scions, I’m gonna field her as a Scion. Hence the backstory.

Scion Macrinus (hot-shot volley gun): Heavy Specialist. Personality Trait: Gung-ho. He ain’t got time to bleed.

Scion Florian (flamer): Demolitions Specialist. Personality Trait: Meticulous. Does not understand the demo people who like fire/explosions- it’s a job, a dangerous job that requires professionalism and attention to detail.

Scion Pertinax (plasmagun): Veteran Specialist. Personality Trait: Brave. Stupid. Stupid brave.

Scion ‘Lucky’ Vitalis (hot-shot lasgun): Medic Specialist. Personality Trait: Deadpan, morbid wiseass. He’s straight outta M*A*S*H.

D525 Barcelona in Catalunya

D525 Barcelona

D525 Barcelona is an office building located in Barcelona, Spain that is designed through the concept of sustainable renovation. More than just an avant-garde building, the project also offers environmental and wellness benefits.

The new headquarters of Naturgy group in Barcelona, a building property of Inmobiliaria Colonial, is located at Av. Diagonal 525. The project was designed by Sanzpont Arquitectura based on the concept of sustainable renovation, with the aim of reducing its environmental impact and extending its efficient, useful life. Its execution was carried out with materials that strictly respect the environment, and according to an environmental quality management plan.

The original building was used for housing in the ’70s and presented several structural challenges. However, despite those challenges, the project incorporated all of the design and construction requirements necessary to achieve LEED Gold certification.

More Natural Light & Purer Air The project incorporates a main façade based on large windows that provide abundant natural light, defined by unique photocatalytic krion 3D modules. These modules give the building a unique identity but, more importantly, have the ability to purify the air through their photocatalytic material. The krion material’s KEAST technology takes it one step further by extrapolating its benefits beyond its surface with the ability to decontaminate the air. The design, comprised of clean and aerodynamic lines, creates an avant-garde image of movement.

Greater Eco-Efficiency & Cleaner Energy The building envelope and its systems have been designed to render it an eco-efficient model, improving its performance, thermal insulation, and energy consumption. The design of the south façade incorporates a treatment of photovoltaic louvers, providing protection from the sun in the warmer months of the year, and generating clean energy through part of its electricity consumption. The photovoltaic louvers create enough energy to power 1,562 points of light for 4 hours per day, for up to 35 years, free of CO2 196 emissions.

More Green Space & Native Plant Species A large part of the building’s roof is designed as a natural green space. It incorporates low-consumption native plant species that provide an extra insulation layer, thus minimizing the environmental impact, improving the microclimate, and helping to mitigate the heat island effect.

Sustainability & the Building Skin To develop the project, a detailed study of the climate and the environment was conducted to determine the characteristics of the architectural envelope and its response throughout the year. This considerably improved the performance and efficiency of the building in terms of energy savings and sustainability. In addition to a rooftop garden, the design and improvement of the architectural envelope includes its orientation, thermal and acoustic insulation, solar control louvers, and production of renewable energy.

Developed & Coordinated in BIM The project has been developed using the latest BIM cloud technology for its complete coordination. Virtual models of architecture, engineering, interior design, and urban environment were integrated in order to generate a coordinated digital building.
