Come what may :)

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Everyday I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high no river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Oh come what may, come what may
I will love you

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place...

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Ain't that right?

For everything you have missed, you have gained something else.
-Ralp Waldo Emerson

All I want for Christmas is you

What am I to you

What am I to you
Tell me darling true
To me you are the sea
Vast as you can be
And deep the shade of blue

When you're feeling low
To whom else do you go
See I cry if you hurt
I'd give you my last shirt
Because I love you so

If my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
I never want to part
I'm giving you the ball

When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
I love you when you're blue
Tell me darlin true
What am I to you

Yah well if my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
Never want to part
I'm giving you the ball

When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
Could you find a love in me
Could you carve me in a tree
Don't fill my heart with lies

I will you love when you're blue
Tell me darlin true
What am I to you
What am I to you
What am I to you

The meaning of Christmas!!!

Christmas or Christmas Day is an annual holiday that marks the traditional birthdate of Jesus of Nazareth. Christmas combines the celebration of Jesus' birth with various other traditions and customs, many of which were influenced by ancient winter festivals such as Yule^[1] and Saturnalia. Christmas traditions include the display of Nativity scenes and Christmas trees, the exchange of gifts and cards, and the arrival of Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. Popular Christmas themes include the promotion of goodwill, giving, compassion, and quality family time.

Christmas Day falls on December 25. It is preceded by Christmas Eve on December 24, and in some countries is followed by Boxing Day on December 26. Some Eastern Orthodox Churches celebrate Christmas on January 7, which corresponds to December 25 on the Julian calendar. December 25 as a birthdate for Jesus is merely traditional, and is not thought to be his actual date of birth.^[2]

Christmas is celebrated in most countries around the world, owing to the spread of Christianity and Western culture, along with the enduring popularity of wintertime celebrations.

Quote of the day

Liking someone is accepting every part of them, but you can't do that unless they are willing to share every part with you.
-Smallville

Time

Time flies. Time waits for no man. Time heals all wounds. All any of us wants is more time. Time to stand up. Time to grow up. Time to let go. Time.

I meant what I said when I said until my dying day
I’m holding on to you, holding onto me
Maybe it’s all gone black but you’re all I see
You’re all I see
I’m holding on to you, holding on to me
Maybe it’s all we got but it’s all I need
You’re all I need
And if all we’ve got is what no one can break
I know I love you
If that’s all we can take

U2 LYRICS

"In A Little While"

In a little while
Surely you'll be mine
In a little while I'll be there

In a little while
This hurt will hurt no more
I'll be home, love

When the night takes a deep breath
And the daylight has no end
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
Will you be there

In a little while
I won't be blown by every breeze
Friday night running
To Sunday on my knees

That girl, that girl
She's mine
And I've known her since

Since she was a little girl
With Spanish eyes
Oh, when I saw her
In a pram they pushed her by

My, how you've grown
Well it's been
It's been a little while

Slow down my bleeding heart
A man dreams one day to fly
A man takes a rocketship into the skies
He lives on star that's dying in the night
And follows in the trail
The scatter of light

Turn it on
Turn it on
You turn me on

Slow down my bleeding heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my bleeding heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love

12 steps for a greener holiday season

In many countries it's holiday season. If last-minute shopping, baking and decorating turn you into Ebenezer Scrooge, just think about the toll this season takes on the environment.

But don't worry, you don't have to choose between enjoying this time of year and becoming an environmental stick in the mud. There are plenty of simple steps that you and your family can take if you are dreaming of a "green" holiday season. To have your gingerbread cookie and eat it too, check out the 12 tips below.

1: Give a compact fluorescent light bulb or two or three as gifts. Save your friends and family money and save the planet too. Old-fashioned light bulbs waste 85% of their energy in heat and don't last long. Compact florescent bulbs these days come in all shapes, sizes, and colours. A 100% compact florescent household makes a great New Year's resolution, and a good investment in energy (and money!) savings.

2: Pull the plug on dirty presents. Electronics are popular gifts so rather than just consider the cost, check out which companies are doing more than others to make cleaner products. This year's presents shouldn't be next year's toxic waste. (Ok, we know. Sometimes we can't resist that new iPod or MacBook either, despite the fact that Apple is bottom of the barrel when it comes to toxic content and recycling policies. If you really can't wait until Apple cleans up its act to buy one, make sure you do something for the Green my Apple campaign to tell Steve Jobs that we love Apple products, but we want them to come in green. Make sure your gift recipient gets the message too!)

3: Pay for the present, not the packaging. Put some thought into the gifts you are purchasing. Avoid products that are over-packaged or made from toxic PVC plastic or from endangered trees like mahogany.

4: Travel smart. When it's time to go shopping for the perfect gift or visit relatives, try to take public transportation or carpool for trips. Every time you hop in your car or even worse a plane, you're producing greenhouse gases which contribute to global warming. Even better? Shop online. You can get your loved ones gift memberships to environmental organizations, like Greenpeace.

5: Cut down on paper. Why not have fun making your own wrapping paper out of recycled paper? With a potato stamp and some water paint you can make unique wrapping paper. Cut up last years cards to make perfect recycled gift tags. Make sure your waste wrapping paper goes in the recycling. If you send holiday cards, look for a recycled content or better yet, send an e-card.

6: Be tree friendly. If a tree is traditionally part of your celebrations, a living, potted one is your best option because it can be reused next year. If you must use a cut tree, ask your local officials about tree recycling or if you can chip the tree to use as mulch in your garden.

7: Less is more. If you decorate your home with lights, think about how much energy they use. Don't forget to turn off the lights before you go to bed or go out, and use LED bulbs to save energy.

8: Go au natural. Replace those plastic, over-priced holiday decorations, with natural reuseable decorations like whitewashed branches and pine cones. They can put you in the holiday spirit just as easily as a huge, inflatable snowman can.

9:Cut down on your shopping. As a general rule the more you buy and consume the more of the planet's limited resources you are using up. Try to buy local produce to cut the travel miles your holiday essentials have clocked up.

10: Break out the china. When it comes time to party down, do so with real dishes - not disposables. Ask your friends to borrow some of their plates and glasses or rent them. Cleanup will be a little tougher, but it's worth it. If you must use disposable, look for recycled content.

11: Hang lots of mistletoe. This won't really help the environment. But more kissing has got to be good for world peace ;-)

12: Get started on those New Year's resolutions! If you've followed these 12 tips for the holiday season why not be good to the climate for the whole of 2007 by following our 12 tips for individual action on global warming?

This is our world today..right now..just think a little bit about it

Living in the tropics..

I'm stuck home cause there is a storm outside. A tropical storm in the middle of November in Portugal. You might think now, what's so special about that??
Well, first of all we don't have tropical storms in this part of Europe. We might have during the summer some little storms or depressions due to the hurricane's in the Atlantic Ocean.
But since the winter began this year, there has been storm after storm. Sometimes with winds of more than 150 kms, other times with rays and thunders, and other times the rain pours so heavily that it looks like milk falling from the sky.

Today half of Portugal is flooded, damaged and in alert...ohh and i forgot to mention that we are not used to things flying around, like parts of roofs, or fallen trees, etc.

Right now I feel like I'm in a tropical island or something..just with a little difference, here is much colder, lolol.

Just because

I'm sitting at the uni doing actually nothing, when i should be studying. I'm missign a class right now but I'm so tired that i don't even strenghs to feel bad about it. I think this uni is taking the best of me, and there are days when i just feel like a zombie walking arround the uni building. All i think about that special hour when i can go to sleep, and i live day to day checking the works, papers and presentations i still have to do.

so now i will go home to another wonderful night of studying and falling asleep constantly with the book in my hands, hehehehe.

Sarah McLachlan - World On Fire

Even if sometimes I have too many things to do, I still have time to stop and take a look at the world and remind myself the reasons why I study so hard...I do it for them...to help.Cause I know that if take all the oportunities I have and use them, I can give oportunities to others.

So even if you don't have time, stop and watch this..There are more people in the world than you..don't ever forget that!!

Recession

Economies have recessions, writers have blank days, painters have lack of inspiration, poets no creativeness, business man bad days..and students??
Students have chaotic weeks.
So it's official, this blog is going to have less posts than usual this week and the next because chaos has found its way into this students life.
I promise this will get better and the blog will go back to normal..but for now, the only thing i have time to is university..ohh and sleeping and eating from time to time.

Traveling I only stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets in and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why

And it all comes down to the last person you think about before you fall asleep.

The USA's elections

I'm not a very political person. I must confess I don't really understand much about politics, not because I don't want too, but because it's a very unique world within our world. But every now and then, I find myself thinking were did some ideas come from, or why certain parties defend a specific idea, etc.
Sometimes I have that urge of informing myself about what is happening in the political arena around the world, so that I can build up my own opinion about the state of the world.
And yesterday, after all the newspapers and news channels were talking over and over again about the USA's elections, a question poped into my mind: How did the animal icons of the Republicans and Democrats originate?
If you think about it they are kind of strange. A dunky and an elephant...nothing to do with the United States, right?? So I started to look arround the internet and found the answer.

Problems with the blog

I've been trying to post for over 3 days now, and for an unknown reason I haven't been able to. That's why i got stuck on Halloween and you haven't heard of me ever since then.
I hope this will work now...let's try, lolol.

What are the odds..

I wanna ask you something:
what are the odds of finding 5 coins in different places in the same day?? Maybe you don't believe in magic, but i do..specially on halloween, hehehe.

A little bit of history

Halloween is a tradition celebrated on the night of October 31, most notably by children dressing in costumes and going door-to-door collecting sweets, fruit, and other treats. It is celebrated in parts of the Western world, most commonly in the United States, Canada, the UK, Ireland, and with increasing popularity in Australia and New Zealand, as well as the Philippines. In recent years, Halloween is also celebrated in parts of Western Europe, such as Belgium and France. Halloween originated as a Pagan festival among the Celts of Ireland and Great Britain with Irish, Scots, Welsh and other immigrants transporting versions of the tradition to North America in the 19th century. Most other Western countries have embraced Halloween as a part of American pop culture in the late 20th century.

The term Halloween, and its older spelling Hallowe'en, is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the evening before "All Hallows' Day"^[1] (also known as "All Saints' Day"). The holiday was a day of religious festivities in various northern European Pagan traditions, until Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV moved the old Christian feast of All Saints Day from May 13 to November 1. In Ireland, the name was All Hallows' Eve (often shortened to Hallow Eve), and though seldom used today, it is still a well-accepted label. The festival is also known as Samhain or Oíche Shamhna to the Irish, Calan Gaeaf to the Welsh, Allantide to the Cornish and Hop-tu-Naa to the Manx. Halloween is also called Pooky Night in some parts of Ireland, presumably named after the púca, a mischievous spirit.

Many European cultural traditions hold that Halloween is one of the liminal times of the year when spirits can make contact with the physical world and when magic is most potent (e.g. Catalan mythology about witches, Irish tales of the Sídhe).

Weird moment of the day

This morning, while i was on my way to the uni ( i must say i was driving in the highway at more than 100km per hour), a guy suddenly crossed my way. I don't mean a guy driving another car..no, an actual human being that was crossing the highway, running with a plastic tube on his sholders...it's not something you see every day i must say, and i was really surprised...you must be really brave to attempt to cross a portuguese highway running...
so after this, i got to the conclusion that not only portuguese drivers are completly mad people with suicidal tendencies, normal pedestrians are suffering from the same insane symptoms too.

Quote of the day

No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience at all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention, Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day

No site da campanha, um filme mostra a transformação de uma modelo - do rosto lavado com que chega para ser maquiada, penteada e posar para foto até o painel na rua exibindo um rosto perfeito. Passa também pelos retoques no Photoshop.

"You can`t make someone love you, all you can do is be someone who can be loved, the rest is up to the person to realize your worth. We spend too much time looking for the right person to love or finding fault with those we already love, when instead we should be perfecting the love we give.

Free your heart from hatret;
Free your mind from worries;
Live simply.

Give more.

Expect less.

My hope for you is that you will finally discover the happiness within you"

Secondary effects of the university

This topic emerged last night after a lonf afternoon of work at the uni. Before going to the uni, teachers, parents, friends and others should warn us about the secondary effects of the university.
Here are some examples:
- uncontrollable laughter
- crazy ideas (i mean really crazy ideas)
- extremely important philosophical theories or rather dumb conclusions
- moments of complete happiness or total depression
- emergence of wield side of the student
- lack of hunger or constant need to eat (it depends on the personality and the level of stress)
- sudden need to scream
- moments of madness were you imagine yourself hiting a teacher or a member of your work group
- images of computers flying outside the window
- etc.

(if you have experience different side effects than the above, please share your experience with us. Is important to warn the future generations about the side effects of the so called great institution that is the university).
Best regards,
A traumatized student

Guerra com o teclado

Não sei se já vos aconteceu isto mas ultimamente ando numa guerra incrível com o teclado. Como se devem ter apercebido, de vez em quando aparecem aqui no blog uns posts com erros, ou sem acentos, ou mesmo com palavras que não existem. Admito que às vezes esses erros se devem à minha distracção ou mesmo falta de cuidado ao clicar em publish post sem ler antes o que escrevi. Mas muitas vezes acho que o teclado me prega partidas. Estes ultimos dias têm sido um suplício no messenger, nos blogs, etc. porque não consigo escrever bem as palavras. E o teclado não faz diferença nas línguas..tanto pode ser inglês, como português ou espanhol, está sempre a fazer das suas...
Começo a achar sinceramente que as novas tecnologias têm alguma coisa contra mim, porque desde o telemóvel, ao computador passando pelo mp3, estes aparelhos passam os dias a brincar com a minha sanidade mental...não se admirem se um dia de estes me virem a atirar o telemóvel ou o portatil pela janela fora..

Solo hoy me cayo el peso del mundo

Llevo 3 semanas de clases, pero solo esta semana se me cayo encima el peso del mundo.
Ultimo ano, nuevos cambios, cosas que tenemos que hacer hoy pero tambien cosas que tenemos que pensar ya para el manana que esta en la puerta, tocando la campana.
Este semestre no quede en ninguna clase con mi tradicional grupo de amigos,pero tube la feliz sorpresa de encontrar otros amigos en mis clases. Por eso ahora tengo la oportunidad de convivir con personas diferentes, sin con eso dejar de hablar con mis loquitos lindos, mi familia.
Este ano me toca hacer semanalmente listas de cosas por hacer, porque no me puedo dar al lujo de dejar cosas para el dia siguiente. Nos tienen viviendo como alcoholicos en recuperacion, un dia de cada vez.
Ahora comienza a delinearse el futuro de cada uno. Cada persona que conozco va poco a poco tomando su rumbo, delineando lo que quiere hacer cuando termine, y aunque juntos, nos vmaos separando poco a poco. Es interesante descubrir lo que cada persona quiere hacer con su futuro, los planes, los suenos..todo.

Veremos durante el semestre donde nos llevaran esos planes y esos suenos...

Esos momentos

Hoy fue uno de esos dias magicos en que tenemos pequenos momentos que nos soprenden y que nos hacen recordar porque vale tanto la pena vivir.
Todo comenzo anoche cuando me dio por sonar con una persona muy especial, mi maninha (amiga del colegio con la que comparti aventuras, risas, lloros y mesa durante 3 anos), con la que no hablo hace ya bastante tiempo ya que la vida nos separo y llevo en direcciones diferentes. Me desperte pensando en ella, y de repente veo k tengo un sms y, sorpresa, era de ella!!!! con eso ya empece la dia de la mejor manera posible.
Luego logre hacer todo lo que queria en la universidad, encontre a todas las personas que queria ver, etc.
Otro momento alto del dia fue felicitar a mi manusko pensando que era su cumpleanos, cuando en realidad es manana..la intencion fue lo que valio, pero por momentos quise que me tragara la tierra.
Y el ultimo momento alto del dia fue recibir un mensaje de un amigo que pense que nunca mas iba a ver, y ademas hablar con el en el messenger y saber que se va manana para Belgica.

Hoy fue uno de esos dias en que aquellas personas que la vida afasto, volvieron. Un dia en que no me senti sola, y en que la rutina se quebro...en resumen, un buen dia.
Ojala todos los dias fueran asi, jejeje.

Inicio das aulas

E pronto...o verao acabou oficialmente, as aulas ja comecaram e a contagem decrescente para o meu futuro ja comecou. Pois, porque este e o meu ultimo ano na faculdade. Quem iria pensar que eu acabaria em 3 anos a faculdade?? Nunca me passou pela cabeca acabar com 21 anos. Isso abre muitas portas e oportunidades, mas ao mesmo tempo asusta...
Tenho muito pra fazer, momentos pra viver e aproveitar ao maximo, porque depois da faculdade a juventude realmente acaba, hehehehehe.

Tao longe de casa...

........mas tao perto de tudo.

'E incrivel como podes estar tao longe de tudo aquilo que nos 'e familiar e conhecido, mas mesmo assim nos sentimos em casa.
Por estos dias estou do outro lado da europa, na Polonia. Pais conhecido pelo vodka, pelas raparigas giras e ultimamente pelos famosos gemeos que fazem das suas no governo.
Vim para aqui sem saber muito bem o que havia de esperar e ate agora tenho-me deparado com umas pessoas muito simpaticas, uma comida com aspecto um bocado suspeito mas que afinal 'e muito parecida a comida portuguesa, umas paisagens lindas e arvores por tudo quanto e lado.
Coisas interessantes para ver nao faltam. Ate nas aldeias mas pequenas podemos encontrar monasterios, igrejas ou palacios que vale a pena visitar.
O clima, bem nao tem nada a ver com o nosso. Muda todos os dias, mas depois de um tempo ja nos acostumamos.
A lingua 'e bem complicada, mas com esforco e dedicacao la aprendemos palavras uteis para sobreviver.
Depois terao algumas fotos da minha mini aventura por estas paragens de pessoas loiras e altas que conseguem conciliar, va-se la saber como, modernindade com religiao e que pouco a pouco vao aceitando o facto de que agora pertencem a Uniao Europeia.

A vergonha da Festa Avante

"A presença de propaganda das FARC (Forças Armadas Revolucionárias da Colômbia) na última edição da Festa do "Avante!", criou um embaraço diplomático ao governo de José Sócrates.O embaixador colombiano em Portugal, Plínio Apuleyo Mendoza, disse ontem ao DN, quando confrontado com a notícia da presença das FARC na festa dos comunistas portugueses, que iria pedir explicações ("un reclamo") às autoridades portuguesas. "Essa notícia surpreende-me muito, precisamente porque Portugal integra a União Europeia, que consideram as FARC uma organização terrorista [ver caixa]", disse o diplomata. "O que a Colômbia espera de Portugal é solidariedade no combate ao terrorismo", acrescentou o embaixador, que criticou ainda o PCP por se estar "estar prestando ao jogo do terrorismo".As FARC são um grupo terrorista que mantém sequestrada há quatro anos a ex-candidata a presidente da Colômbia Ingrid Betancourt . A União Europeia reconhece as FARC como grupo terrorista.Em resposta ao DN, o PCP, através de um comunicado do gabinete de imprensa, confirmou que estiveram presentes duas organizações provenientes da Colômbia, o Partido Comunista Colombiano e a revista "Resistência" - uma publicação que funciona como porta-voz das FARC - no âmbito dos convites que o PCP dirige e que se "baseiam exclusivamente na sua política de relações internacionais e na solidariedade dos comunistas portugueses para com aqueles que em todo o mundo desenvolvem processos de resistência e luta contra as políticas anti-sociais, antidemocráticas e belicistas das principais potências imperialistas, ou de governos claramente manietados e instrumentalizados por essas potências - como é o caso do governo colombiano".O PCP "aproveita a oportunidade" para, mais uma vez, sair em defesa das FARC e "denunciar as tentativas de criminalização da resistência ao grande capital e ao imperialismo e para reiterar a sua frontal oposição à classificação pelos EUA e União Europeia das FARC - uma organização popular armada que há mais de 40 anos prossegue, entre outros objectivos, a luta pela real democracia na Colômbia e por uma justa e equitativa redistribuição da riqueza, dos recursos naturais da Colômbia e da posse e uso da terra - como organização terrorista".A notícia da presença de propaganda das FARC na festa do PCP foi revelada na blogosfera. Domingo passado, no blogue Tugir (tugir.blogspot.com), Carlos Manuel Castro registou criticamente o facto. A partir daí a indignação alastrou a mais de uma dezena de blogues. No Canhoto (ocanhoto.blogspot.com), o ex-ministro do PS Paulo Pedroso subscreveu Jorge Ferreira, dirigente da Nova Democracia, no Tomar Partido(tomarpartido.blogspot.com)quot;Seria interessante que o Governo, através do ministro da Administração Interna, esclarecesse se os indivíduos da FARC que estiveram no stand da Festa do "Avante!" entraram legalmente em Portugal, se foram vigiados e as suas actividades militantes fiscalizadas".O DN contactou o ministério da Administração Interna, mas não conseguiu obter qualquer comentário sobre a presença colombiana."

Ao ler este artigo a unica coisa que posso sentir e revolta. Como se pode defender de animo tao leve um grupo terrorista que tem vindo a degradar a vida dos colombianos desde ha mais de 40 anos? Diser que o governo comlombiano e imperialista so demosntra a falta de conhecimento que os senhores do PCP tem sobre a realidade colombiana e defender que este grupo armado que vive do secuestro e do trafico de droga luta pelo povo colombiano so nos demonstra que os comunistas continuam a ser um perigo, porque apoiar terroristas nao e coisa de pessoas sas mentalmente.

Quero-te assim

No outro dia tive vontade de pegar no teu abraço e dizer-te o quanto te quero. Quis muito pegar em ti e levar-te até longe de tudo, onde pudesse ter-te só para mim. Ter-te daquele modo tão especial mas tão forçosamente necessário para o meu ser, para o meu eu, que é de seres tu junto a mim. Tudo para que pudesse observar-te vezes sem conta, tudo para que os nossos cabelos esvoaçassem sem fim, dançassem até se tocarem ao sabor do teu/meu/nosso vento, transmitindo a vontade de ser eu/te/nós e de repente transformarmos tudo num só eu. Ou num só tu, por seres tudo o que o vento te trás. Por seres tudo o que a a manhã deseja, porque o Sol quando nasce gosta de te ouvir cantar, tal como eu, mas só naquele sítio que eu e tu haveremos de encontrar. Naquele sítio onde estarás para sempre só comigo, onde os nossos cabelos se encontrarem um com o outro e se fundirem num misto de sentimentos e emoções.

Desejo-te, quero-te, devoro-te. Quero-te assim, porque esta sou eu, é assim que eu sou.

Hummmm

Ya desde algun tiempo que ando pensando en esto pero solo ahora me dio ganas de escribir aqui solo para saber qual es vuestra opinion sobre el asunto...
No les parece que el tiempo corre a velocidades diferentes?? Yo ya sospechaba eso, pero ultimamente se ha vuelto mas marcante esta situacion. Aveces cuando necesitas de bastante tiempo porque tienes 500 cosas que hacer, el tiempo vuela y cuando menos te lo esperas ya son las 7 de la tarde y no has terminado mitad de las cosas que querias. Y otras veces rezas para que el tiempo pase rapido porque estas en una situacion aburrida o porque quieres que llegue esa hora x de hacer algo o encontrar a alguien y el tiempo como que para..cada minuto parece una eternidad y el dia se alarga.
La mayoria de las veces el tiempo hasta me favorece, pero hay algunos dias en que el reloj parece que se divierte llevandome la contraria...los unicos momentos en que me encanta que me lleve la contraria es cuando toca el despertador, doy media vuelta y pienso; solo unos minuticos mas. Y cuando vuelvo a ver solo han pasado 5 minutos, hehehe.

Por eso comienzo a creer piamente que eso de time management no sirve de mucho..el tiempo seguira haciendo de las suyas solo pa llevarnos la contraria y desesperarnos..(piensen en esas noches en que estan super cansados, se acuestan u despues de lo que parece un minuto el despertador toca y es hora de levantarse...arrrrrrrgh!!!!!)

"Acredito que a verdade reside muito mais vezes no silêncio do que nas palavras, por mais belas e justas que sejam, mesmo quando voam do coração dos poetas para o coração do papel e ficam ali a dormir, à espera que alguém as apanhe."

Coexistence

Piotr Mlodozeniec, Poland

On the dogmas of religion, as distinguished from moral principles, all mankind, from the beginning of the world to this day, have been quarreling, fighting, burning and torturing one another, for abstractions unintelligible to themselves and to all others, and absolutely beyond the comprehension of the human mind.

Thomas Jefferson

A strong-willed herald of causes against injustice, you passionately strive to right the wrongs around you.
