Valentine's Day


In Brazil we celebrate the Valentine's Day on June 12.
But in much of the world (such as USA, Italy and Canada), the date chosen is February 14, Valentine's Day (Valentine, for some, or Valentine's day of the Americans), a saint devoted to the idea of love. Valentines Day in Brazil is not celebrated in the way as it is celebrated in other parts of the world In lieu of Valentines Day, the people of Brazil celebrates "Dia dos Namorados", that is, Boyfriend's/Girlfriend's Day on 12th June, one day before the day of St. Anthony.

The dog who sings rap

I don't know if the dog of the video below is enjoying or not the joke. But it is fun, no one can deny. It seems to me that the dog is singing rap. Is this dog is a fan of Hip Hop?

Have you found what you're looking for?

You've heard the music of U2 "I still haven't found what I'm looking for"? My teacher at College we asked: "Have you found looking for?" I don't know if I found everything I want, but... just know that I'm happy now, I feel that many things will come to me in the future. And I hope with patience ...
I thought very beautiful the lyrics of U2.
Kisses!

Lyrics of U2:

I Still Haven't Found What I'm
Looking For - U2


I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you (2x)

I have run I have crawled
I have scaled
These city walls (2x)
Only to be with you

(2x)
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for


I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of the devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

(2x)
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for


I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colors will
Bleed into one (2x)
But yes I'm still running


You broke the bonds and you loosed the chains
You carried the cross
And my shame (2x)
You know I believe it

(4x)
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for

7th Mercosur Biennial





I visited the last day of the 7th Mercosur Biennial. I loved everything! Very beautiful. It was an excellent ride.

How the West could learn from Lula's way of playing politics.

How the West could learn from Lula's way of playing politics.As much as Washington was visibly annoyed, it could do nothing to prevent Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from visiting Brazil's President Lula as part of his 5-country African and South American tour. Feathers could not but be ruffled, argues Pepe Escobar, at the sight of closer cooperation between the biggest Latin American regional power and one of the Middle East's top regional powers. The warm embrace Lula ofered Ahmadinejad will echo across the developing world as a sign that South/South diplomacy play may have more merits than the heavy-handed US/European approach.

History of Halloween







The day of Halloween began long ago with the rituals surrounding the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain.
The Celtic New Year was celebrated on November 1. The New Year was the Celtic end of harvest holiday, and the start of the dark winter. Winter was often equated with death, because of winter's harsh effect on people of the time. Because of this association, the ancient Celts believed that during the night before the New Year, the veil between the worlds of the dead and the living was thinned. Halloween is not traditional in Brazil. It seems very fun.

Hot'n'cold - Katy Perry

The video from Katy Perry. Single ''Hot'n'cold". I love this video.




Lyrics and translation:

Hot N' Cold Quente E Frio - Katy Perry

You change your mind Você muda de ideia
Like a girl changes clothes Como uma garota troca de roupa
Yeah you, PMS Sim você, TPM
Like a bitch Como uma vadia
I would know Eu saberia

And you over think E você pensa demais
Always speak Sempre fala
Cryptcally Em códigos

I should know Eu deveria saber
That you're no good for me Que você não é bom para mim

Cause you're hot then you're cold Porque você é quente depois é frio
You're yes then you're no Você é sim e depois é não
You're in and you're out Você está dentro depois está fora
You're up and you're down Você está pra cima depois está pra baixo

You're wrong when it's right Você está errado quando isso é certo
It's black and it's white É preto quando isso é branco
We fight, we break up Nós brigamos, terminamos
We kiss, we make up Nós beijamos, nós voltamos

(you) You don't really want to stay, no (wooo) (você) Você não quer ficar mesmo, não (wooo)
(you) But you don't really want to go-o (ooo) (você) Mas você não quer realmente ir (ooo)

You're hot then you're cold Porque você é quente depois é frio
You're yes then you're no Você é sim e depois é não
You're in and you're out Você está dentro depois está fora
You're up and you're down Você está pra cima depois está pra baixo

We used to be Nós costumávamos ser
Just like twins Como gêmeos
So in sync Tão em sintonia
The same energy A mesma energia
Now's a dead battery Agora é uma bateria sem carga
Used to laugh 'bout nothing Costumávamos rir sobre nada
Now you're plain boring Agora você é um grande chato

I should know Eu deveria saber
That you're not gonna change Que você não vai mudar

Cause you're hot then you're cold Porque você é quente depois é frio
You're yes then you're no Você é sim e depois é não
You're in and you're out Você está dentro depois está fora
You're up and you're down Você está pra cima depois está pra baixo

You're wrong when it's right Você está errado quando isso é certo
It's black and it's white É preto quando isso é branco
We fight, we break up Nós brigamos, terminamos
We kiss, we make up Nós beijamos, nós voltamos

(you) You don't really want to stay, no (wooo) (você) Você não quer ficar mesmo, não (wooo)
(you) But you don't really want to go-o (ooo) (você) Mas você não quer realmente ir (ooo)

You're hot then you're cold Porque você é quente depois é frio
You're yes then you're no Você é sim e depois é não
You're in and you're out Você está dentro depois está fora
You're up and you're down Você está pra cima depois está pra baixo

Someone call the doctor Alguém chame o médico
Got a case of a love bi-polar Tenho um caso de amor bipolar
Stuck on a roller coaster Presa numa montanha russa
Can't get off this ride Não consigo sair dela

You change your mind Você muda de ideia
Like a girl changes clothes Como uma garota troca de roupa

Cause you're hot then you're cold Porque você é quente depois é frio
You're yes then you're no Você é sim e depois é não
You're in and you're out Você está dentro depois está fora
You're up and you're down Você está pra cima depois está pra baixo

You're wrong when it's right Você está errado quando isso é certo
It's black and it's white É preto quando isso é branco
We fight, we break up Nós brigamos, terminamos
We kiss, we make up Nós beijamos, nós voltamos

You're hot then you're cold Você é quente depois é frio
You're yes then you're no Você é sim e depois é não

Law of Attraction


I'm reading the book The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne . This book is really very good, readable and enjoyable. At times a little repetitive, but only to reinforce the importance of the message. He talks about the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction is a universal law, which acts on all things, whether or not we believe. And regardless of whether or not. It's like the law of gravity. But it acts to bring us everything that we focus and attention. He says that if our energy is focused on something, that kind of energy we receive.

Movie - The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

I watched the film "The boy in the pyjamas" this weekend. I really enjoyed, but I was surprised at the end. During World War II, a German family moves from Berlin to Auschwitz, where the patriarch is ordained to work in a concentration camp. So, Bruno, a boy of 8 years old and son of the officer, begins a beautiful friendship with a Jewish boy of the same age. The film shows how prejudice, hatred and violence affect innocent people, especially children.

Global Warming


Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes that increasing greenhouse gas concentrations resulting from human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation caused most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century. The IPCC also concludes that variations in natural phenomena such as solar radiation and volcanoes produced most of the warming from pre-industrial times to 1950 and had a small cooling effect afterward.

Sonnet 30


WHEN to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thought I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long since cancelled woe,
And moan th' expense of many a vanished sight.
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoanèd moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end.


By: William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

Spring


And if you start the spring season, beautiful!
Love! Flowers and birds singing ...
You do not have anything better.

Woody Woodpecker will cut hair, but the barber went to the gym. So Woody Woodpecker decides to cut his hair and also the customers of the shop, as an Indian and a worker. In one scene, Woody Woodpecker sings the song "Figaro". I love this cartoon, watched as a child.
