Explosions

Today there was a huge explosion and fire at a firworks factory jut near my school.
It was early in the morning, school had not started yetwas 20 minutes still to go.
The smoke and ashes went up and it was quite scary.
We were told that the smoke migt be hazardous and we should stay inside as much as possible.
Later after like 2.5 hours, we were told we will have to evacuate because the smokes are dangerous.
What i found terrible was that they only tell us tht after we spend 2 and hf hours inhaling air full of cynides, heavy metals and god know's wht else!
By then i had got really bad headaches and was feeling nauseous.How could they let this happen?
Where is the security and safety measures and organization when u need them??
as long as we didn't die in school, it was ok??
this is just wrong!!
i hv no wish to degrade my health like tht...

a jelly day

Hi everybody!
i know, it's been quite a long time since i'v posted anythin, my excuse is that i have been seriously busy!
I'm still incredibly busy, but recently i came across a few incidents that have propell me to write a post about.
The other day i was at the beach with my dear Morgaine and
Caroline (great day,uh?) and me and Morgaine were in the water and we could see hundreds of these weird transparent things that looked like capsules with a pea-sized reddish brown thing inside. It was freaky.
I absolutely wantd to know wht those were because i hd never seen them before.
And so began my long ordeal to catch one of the 'aliens'. It as quite complicated and frustrating, with a few screams here and there, nut i finally got hold of one.
I rain to the sand and igot to observe carefully from close, i realized that it was moving!it wasn't a plactic capsule or condom (Morgaine's suggestion not mine!), it was a living thing!(just as morgaine's aunt had suggested, damn it!) :S
I quickly put it back and wondered why they were there and what were they exactly.
Obviously, knowing they were living, I couldn't stay in the water for much longer.

Turns out they were jelly fish babies! As we were walking by the water, we encountered many more babies and fully grown jelly fish.We also saw what I suspect were pieces of coral...

And why were all these in a beach which hd always been jelly fish- free? Because all of the construction going on.
Currently they are extending the marina, so basically what was sea before is beeing made land.
This destroys the natural habitat of many maritime species ad so disturbs the ecossystem and it's balance.
Many a times you can also see pieces of cement floating on the water.

It makes me so sad... the beautiful crystal blue water is turning a dirty green and the coral reef is dying, and so are many animals.Let's stop this!
We can't do much about the construction, but we can do our part...never through plasttics,metals or chemical in the sea, recycle, don't eat endangered fishes and foods such as caviar, for example.
I believe little things count. Please prove me right!

Porque é que as pessoas têm...

hi5? Para se afirmarem no mundo da popularidade e do social, mostrando ou ambicionando ter o maior número de visitas, comentários pessoais, de fotos e o maior número de amigos dos quais só conhecem metade? E para isso disponiblizando uma infinidade de informações pessoais online quando sempre se falou do perigo de fornecer informações pessoais pela internet a desconhecidos?
Isto é o que se passa, digo eu, eu relação a maioria dos adolescentes e pré-adolescentes que entram nesta chamada "rede social", depois vêm aqueles que aderem por arrasto e que até acham piada no ínicio, como eu em tempos achei, quando descobri nesta rede amigos que já não via desde a primária. Então e os jovens adultos e pessoal de meia idade que também aderem a esta tendência? Tentativa desesperada de se sentirem e mostrarem mais "in" no espírito jovem? Porque está na moda? A verdade é que hoje em dia quase toda a gente tem hi5 e é possível descobrirmos nesta rede de facto muita gente que conhecemos, porquê?

Facebook? Pelas mesmas razões que o hi5??

E porque é que têm Blogues? Aha, tricky one! Porque é giro!!! :) No fundo todos temos aquele espírito de jornalistas, cronistas e críticos e um blogue é uma maneira de o pormos cá para fora, escrevendo para conhecidos e desconhecidos, sob pseudónimos como "Morgaine", controlando o número e localização de vistas, ansiando por comentários, não à nossa pessoa, mas sim ao que pensamos e escrevemos. Mas depois também existem aqueles blogues meios crónicas da vida pessoal, que acaba por ser uma mistura de estilos que também são giros de acompanhar e descobrir identificação com esses desconhecidos de outros blogues. Serão os blogues mais "saudáveis" que as redes sociais acima referidas? Talvez não, a verdade é que depende tudo da cabeça da pessoa e do conteúdo das publicações que fazem, pois rapidamente um blogue pode-se tornar em algo muito mais perverso que uma conta de hi5...

A título de curiosidade...

...who would you pick? Barack Obama ou Hillary Clinton?
Eu como não vou votar não tenho ligado muito às políticas que cada um defende, mas do que sei votava no Barack Obama por ter sido contra a invasão do Iraque desde o ínicio e a Hillary ter sido a favor, quando toda a gente percebeu que as razões para essa mesma invasão não passavam de motivos económicos por conta do petróleo. E vocês?

Parabéns Mensagem!

Blood curling scream

The house was empty. I looked around. It looked lonely and scary. But there must be someone. Perhaps in the garden.
I passed the long, empty, old corridors. I passed the halls with antique paintings hanging on the walls. The garden was peaceful, but not well maintained. You could see the reflection of the full moon on the clear, old water of the small pond. Relief filled my heart when I saw a handsome fourteen years-old boy sitting by the pond.
I silently went to him. I didn’t want to disturb his moment of deep meditation, but I needed help. I delicately touched his shirt, but he did not move. That’s when I saw his reflection on the pond. He was pale white and his eyes blue but empty and lifeless.
On seeing him, I let out a blood curling scream…

Interesting riddle!

An Arab sheikh tells his two sons to race their camels to a distant city to see who will inherit his fortune. The one whose camel is slower will win. The brothers, after wandering aimlessly for days, ask a wise man for advice. After hearing the advice they jump on the camels and race as fast as they can to the city.What does the wise man say?
