Bolt

Se forem ao cinema e quiserem passar um bom bocado, este filme recomenda-se, é hilariante para qualquer idade.
É a história de um cão superestrela de TV (sem o saber) Bolt, que juntamente com dois amigos, percorre os E.U.A. em busca da sua dona. O que Bolt desconhece, é que todos os superpoderes que julgava ter, não passam de uma ilusão criada pela equipa da série televisiva para qual trabalha.
O filme é a 3D, o que o torna ainda mais giro. Paga-se mais pelos óculos quando se compra o bilhete, nunca tinha pago 6.10 euros no cinema.
Toda a gente adora o cão (é super querido), mas para mim, a gata é um espetáculo!
Bom ano novo! :)

Music unifies us but makes us too similar sometimes!!

I came across this magnificent essay by a student at MIT and it's just really weird because my thought are just like her, although i'm not fascinated by Coldplay.

Happiness

I recently found a powerpoint, probably from a fporwarded email that i found interesting, particularly because of my frustration about my life. Here it is:

We convince ourselves that life will be better once we are married, have a baby, then another.

Then we get frustrated because our children are not old enough, and that all will be well when they are older.

Then we are frustrated because they reach adolescence and we must deal with them. Surely we’ll be happier when they grow out of the teen years.

We tell ourselves our life will be better when our spouse gets his/her act together, when we have a nicer car, when we can take a vacation, when we finally retire.

The truth is that there is no better time to be happy than right now.
If not, then when?
Your life will always be full of challenges. It is better to admit as much and to decide to be happy in spite of it all.

For the longest time, it seemed that life was about to start. Real life.
But there was always some obstacle along the way, an ordeal to get through, some work to be finished, some time to be given, a bill to be paid. Then life would start.
I finally came to understand that those obstacles were life.

That point of view helped me see that there isn’t any road to happiness.
Happiness IS the road.

So, enjoy every moment.
Stop waiting for school to end, for a return to school, to lose ten pounds, to gain ten pounds, for work to begin, to get married, for Friday evening, for Sunday morning, waiting for a new car, for your mortgage to be paid off, for spring, for summer, for fall, for winter, for the first or the fifteenth of the month, for your song to be played on the radio, to die, to be reborn… before deciding to be happy.

Happiness is a voyage, not a destination.

There is no better time to be happy than… NOW!
Live and enjoy the moment.

Now, think and try to answer these questions: 1 – Name the 5 richest people in the world.2 – Name the last 5 Miss Universe winners.3 – Name the last 10 Nobel Prize winners.4 – Name the last 10 winners of the Best Actor Oscar

Can’t do it? Rather difficult, isn’t it?
Don’t worry, nobody remembers that.
Applause dies away!
Trophies gather dust!
Winners are soon forgotten.

Now answer these questions:
1 – Name 3 teachers who contributed to your education.
2 – Name 3 friends who helped you in your hour of need.3 – Think of a few people who made you feel special.4 – Name 5 people that you like to spend time with.

More manageable? It’s easier, isn’t it?
The people who mean something to your life are not rated “the best”, don’t have the most money, haven’t won the greatest prizes…
They are the ones who care about you, take care of you, those who, no matter what, stay close by.

Some time ago, at the Seattle Olympics, nine athletes, all mentally or physically challenged, were standing on the start line for the 100 m race.
The gun fired and the race began. Not everyone was running, but everyone wanted to participate and win.

They ran in threes, a boy tripped and fell, did a few somersaults and started crying.
The other eight heard him crying.
They slowed down and looked behind them.
They stopped and came back… All of them…

A girl with Down’s Syndrome sat down next to him, hugged him and asked, “Feeling better now?”Then, all nine walked shoulder to shoulder to the finish line.

The whole crowd stood up and applauded. And the applause lasted a very long time…

Because deep down inside us, we all know that the most important thing in life is much more than winning for ourselves.

The most important thing in this life is to help others to win. Even if that means slowing down and changing our own race.

'life-time' dillemas

What and why would you choose:

chocolate or coffee?

day or night?

winter or summer?

chinese or italian food?

a proper computer or laptop?

short or long hair?

Venus or Mars?

Including Africa

Hi,

I just signed a petition asking Prime Minister Gordon Brown to include a representative from the African Union at the G20 - a group of leaders of the world's twenty largest economies - summit in the UK this spring. This will be a key summit for shaping the road the world takes out of the financial crisis, and it's crucial that the world's poorest people be a part of that process.

I hope that you'll join me in taking action here: http://www.one.org/international/includeafrica/?rc=includeafricataf

This is an exceptional opportunity to get a seat at the table for developing nations. If they play a role in remaking the world's financial systems, it's significantly more likely that they will be able to reap the rewards of those systems. That's a big step in helping people work their way out of poverty.

Thanks

Novo Museu dos Coches

O actual:


e o novo que querem construir:



Não sei qual é a necessidade de o tirarem do mesmo sítio de sempre, e muito menos de passarem a expor os coches num local que não tem absolutamente nada a ver com eles e que não tem enquadramento nenhum.
Se também não concordam, existe uma petição online que podem assinar, http://www.petitiononline.com/np58ue/

O Presidente Bush e o Iraque

O que é que acharam do episódiozito do Bush e os sapatos?
Eu parti-me a rir quando vi. Acho que o Presidente americano têm grandes reflexos; a destreza com que se desviou daqueles dois arremessos!
O que o jornalista disse foi qualquer coisa como "Aqui vai um beijo de despedida deste país, seu cão!"
Eu compreendo que os iraquianos se sintam assim, eu também me sentiria, quer dizer, invadem o país sob o pretexto de armas de destruição maciça que afinal não existiam e transformaram-o num caos insuportável, onde têm morrido milhares de pessoas todos os dias nos últimos anos, que nada têm a ver com esta guerra. Tudo por causa do pétroleo...
Acho que foi legítimo presentearem-no com uma das ofensas mais graves no Iraque, atirar-lhe com um par de sapatos!
Quanto às repercussões que este episódio está a ter no mundo árabe em geral, é incrível ver o ódio de morte que eles têm aos americanos.

Everything

You're a falling star, You're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And you're the perfect thing to say.

And you play it coy, but it's kinda cute.
Ah, When you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true.
Cause you can see it when I look at you.

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.

And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're every song, and I sing along.
'Cause you're my everything.
Yeah, yeah

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La


Eu gosto de algumas músicas do Michael Bublé, acho que ele tem uma voz fantástica! Quanto a esta música, simplesmente adoro-a! Já gostava dela antes, mas depois de ter descoberto este vídeo no youtube (com dois dos meus actores favoritos - o jodi perfeito!) ainda fiquei a gostar mais :)
