Irina Pino’s Diary

While one show was being filmed, a producer took me to an office which he had the key to. He wanted to talk to me about something…

It’s been very hard for me to write about my mother’s passing, just a few days ago.

A nostalgic view of Havana at night, covered in rain and lightning, a ride in a taxi and six love stories in“Habana Selfies” from Cuban director Arturo Santana.

In flashback, a question frequently asked me was: Are you going to give birth in Cuba? Then I was very young and didn’t think about that possibility.

My December 31st was crap. I didn’t leave the house. I sat and watched the end of a TV series.

Lena is a young woman from the US who is strongly attracted to a Cuban man.

I’ve been wanting to go to the Zoo on 26th Street for a while now, and I finally managed to make it. Nobody calls it the Zoological Park as it’s too long and sounds ostentatious.

Friendship is one of the most precious things a human has. It is spontaneous, an immediate attraction of ideas, common interests, spirituality, and points of view. You don’t always have to agree on everything, but there is a healthy discussion.

Walking down 5th Avenue in Havana with my earphones in, listening to music on my phone, wearing comfy clothes and a pair of tennis shoes, is all I need for an hour of therapy.
