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!!

Rain on the roof

Nelly Furtado - All Good Things (Come To An End)

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

Papuska!


My friend, if I could give you one thing I would wish for you the ability to see yourself as others see you, then you would realize what a truly special person you are...


Don't let anyone or anything ever make you forget who you are, or get lost of who you are..not even time...


Sara

......


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. For all of you who are interested in enlarging their knowledge about the world, go to this site and you will find the answer: http://ask.yahoo.com/20000810.html

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).
