Book of the week

Escrito por um correspondente em Pequim do La Repubblica, este livro que tem estado a surgir nas listas de bestsellers, já vendeu, só em Itália, acima dos 60 000 exemplares e várias dezenas de reedições. O mérito é, sem dúvida, do autor que teve a arte sublime de aplicar à crónica um estilo solto e colorido, escrevendo uma obra que se lê como um romance. O tema é, porém, um elemento de importância fulcral para criar esta espécie de fascínio que o livro exerce sobre os leitores. Desde o último quarto de século que a China tem vindo a esboçar uma política de abertura, queimando etapas no seu desenvolvimento social, cultural e sobretudo económico, e alterando completamente o equilíbrio geopolítico mundial. Rampini, com a sua visão ocidental e exercitada em focar o que é essencial, é exaustivo: dá-nos todos os elementos necessários (números incluídos) para chegarmos a uma compreensão realista da China actual.

Payback is a bith

Okay, so, sometimes, even the best of us make rash decisions, bad decisions, decisions we pretty much know we're regret the moment, the minute....espeically the morning after. I mean, maybe not regret.... regret, because at least we put ourselves out there. But still, something inside of us decides to do a crazy thing, a thing we know that will probably bite us in the ass, but we do it anyway. What I am saying is, we reap what we sew. What comes around goes around. Like I was saying... payback is a bitch.

TV quote

People say everything happens for a reason. These people are usually women. And these women are usually sorting through a break up. It seems that men can get out of a relationship without even a good-bye, but apparently women have to either get married or learn something. Why are we in such a rush to move from confused to confuscious? Do we search for 'lessons' to lessen the pain?

Sacrifices

A wise man once said you can have anything in life, if you sacrifice everything else for it. What he meant is, nothing comes without a price. So before you go into battle you better decide how much you're willing to lose.

New beginings

It's not a day on the calendar. Not a birthday, not a new year. It's an event, big or small, something that changes us. Ideally, it gives us hope. A new way of living and looking at the world. Letting go of old habits, old memories . . . What's important is that we never stop believing we can have a new beginning. But it's also important to remember that amid all the crap . . . are a few things worth holding on to.

"Most of us are just about as happy as we make up our minds to be. "
William Adams

To my Carrie

"Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away."

Don't diss the juju

Superstition lies in the space between what we can control. Find a penny, pick it up, and all day long you'll have good luck. No one wants to pass up a chance for good luck. But does saying it thirty three times really help? Is anyone really listening? And if no ones listening, why do we bother doing those strange things. We rely on superstitions because we're smart enough to know we don't have all the answers. And that life works in mysterious ways. Don't diss the juju, from wherever it comes.

Book of the week

Uma mulher dividida entre duas culturas e dois amores.

O trágico e apaixonante romance entre Hernán Cortés e a índia Malinalli (a sua intérprete durante a conquista do império asteca), num livro que nos desvenda o mito fundador da cultura híbrida do Novo Mundo e nos conta uma extraordinária história de amor.

Quando a índia Malinalli conhece Cortés, assume que se trata do próprio Deus Quetzalcóalt, que regressa para libertar o seu povo. Os dois apaixonam-se loucamente, mas esse amor será destruído pela desmedida sede de conquista, poder e riqueza de Cortés, um dos mais importantes conquistadores espanhóis. Audaz e engenhoso numa época de grandes heróis, Cortés foi o único que chegou a conhecer a fundo os indígenas americanos. O grande valor estratégico de Malinalli, sua tradutora e intérprete, converteu-a numa personagem-chave na colonização da América e nas relações entre a coroa espanhola e os diferentes povos indígenas. A história do México acabaria por reservar a Malinalli outro papel, o de traidora do seu próprio povo, mas as investigações históricas recentes mostram que foi sim a mediadora entre duas culturas, a hispânica e a nativa americana, e entre duas línguas, o espanhol e o náhuatl.

Com a queda do império asteca como pano de fundo, Laura Esquivel desafia a mitologia tradicional através do retrato apaixonado do Adão e da Eva da cultura mestiça: Cortés e Malinalli.

Book of the week

Two magicians shall appear in England. The first shall fear me; the second shall long to behold me…

Centuries ago, when magic still existed in England, the greatest magician of them all was the Raven King. A human child brought up by fairies, the Raven King blended fairy wisdom and human reason to create English magic. Now, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, he is barely more than a legend, and England, with its mad King and its dashing poets, no longer believes in practical magic.

Then the reclusive Mr Norrell of Hurtfew Abbey appears and causes the statues of York Cathedral to speak and move. News spreads of the return of magic to England and, persuaded that he must help the government in the war against Napoleon, Mr Norrell goes to London. There he meets a brilliant young magician and takes him as a pupil. Jonathan Strange is charming, rich and arrogant. Together, they dazzle the country with their feats.

But the partnership soon turns to rivalry. Mr Norrell has never conquered his lifelong habits of secrecy, while Strange will always be attracted to the wildest, most perilous magic. He becomes fascinated by the shadowy figure of the Raven King, and his heedless pursuit of long-forgotten magic threatens, not only his partnership with Norrell, but everything that he holds dear.

Elegant, witty and utterly compelling, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell creates a past world of great mystery and beauty that will hold the reader in thrall until the last page.

The Notebook

"I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough."

Manusko, so pra ti

"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"

Some truth

Gosto de ti!

Aproveitando o post do Jota no Blog Lisboa e os amigos, queria dizer que ele tem razao. Os nosso amigos sabem que nos gostamos deles, mas nuna fica demais lembrar-lhes isso, porque o famoso destino tem das suas coisas,e quando menos esperamos estamos num lugar diferente, com novos amigos, novas vidas, e nos arrependemos desses momentos em que nao dissemos a esse amigo: Gosto de ti!
Estas ultimas semanas tive tempo pra pensar em muitas coisas e cheguei a conclusao de que as vezes perco muito tempo com estupidezes, faco certas coisas que nao valem a pena, mas depois quando convida-me pra sair com os meus amigos, eu nao vou porque nao me apetece esse dia, nao quero estar com eles, ou tenho uma coisa mais importante pra fazer, etc. Enerva-me ser assim as vezes...
As situacoes que ja perdi, os momentos que nao passei, as gargalhadas que nao ouvi, as palavras que nao disse...
Depois, quando ja nao podemos ver esses mesmos amigos por diversas razoes, pensamos: quantas oportunidades perdi!!!!!!
Entao, por todas esas vezes em que nao o disse e por todas aquelas em que vou perder a oportunidade de dize-lo, aqui vai : gosto muito de todos voces!!!!!!!!!!

Hope

I've heard that it's possible to grow up - I've just never met anyone who's actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don't go our way, we whisper secrets with our best friends in the dark, we look for comfort where we can find it, and we hope - against all logic, against all experience. Like children, we never give up hope...

Jack, a 15-pound orange-and-white cat, cat sits under a treed black bear in a backyard in West Milford, N.J., Sunday, June 4, 2006. When the bear climbed down, the cat chased it up another nearby tree. Neighbor Suzanne Giovanetti thought Jack was simply looking up at the bear, but soon realized the much larger animal was afraid of the hissing cat. The cat's owners called it away and the bear ran off.

Ya es bastante difícil intentar estudiar dos materia juntas como es macro y contabilidad, pero si le juntamos obras en el piso de arriba y en el edifício al lado, se vuelve casi misión imposible!!!!!
No basta el cansancio y las pocas horas dormidas todos los días durantes las ultimas 3 semanas, como para que unos señores llamados obreros les de por pulir el suelo a las 8 de la mañana de un sábado!!!!!!! No me parece normal...ni a los fines de semana lo dejan a uno descansar..y después que los profesores no se admiren de que no paso los examenes, pues con esta banda sonora para estudiar, cualquier formula o teoría no entra ni porque me la inyecten en intravenosa.

Pergunta existencial

If you knew this was your last day on Earth, how would you wanna spend it?

Faith

"At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. It's like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it's not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you , and once in a while people may even take your breath away. "

Deep thought of the day
