Hey, guys! Christmas is coming!

I just LOVE Christmas time! What about you?

What are you going to do on Christmas? I’m going to spend Christmas with my family. Everybody’s coming to my house, we give gifts to each other – but we put the presents under the Xmas tree and we only open them at midnight -, we eat a lot, we have fun!

I LOVE Christmas. The only sad thing is that this is my first Christmas with NO grandmother or grandfather. But, anyway, I know they’ll be watching us.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Tell me about your Christmas plans!

One of his messages….

Just don’t forget to heal your own worlds….

There’s a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You’ll find there’s no need to cry
In this place you’ll feel
There’s no hurt or sorrow

There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place …

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make it a better place
For you and for me

If you want to know why
There’s love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear od dread
We stop existing and start living

Then it feels that always
Love’s enough for us growing
So make a better world
Make a better world …

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify its soul
Though it’s plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be god’s glow

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares

We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place …

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
…

There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
…

Did you see it?

Did you see it last Saturday? I didn’t…

And it all comes back to the lack of organization we see around…

But I still believe they exist… ou não!

What about yours?

What are your favorite quotes – from famous people, from not-so-famous people, from not-famous-at-all people, from books, poetry, songs…?

*O Rio de Janeiro continua beautiful*

Isn’t it one of the most beautiful places in the world?

How can people treat it so bad? And I’m not only talking about bad politicians and stuff like that. I’m talking about the people here. I’m talking about the ones that live here. Complaining about the government and the bad political situation we’ve been through recently is incredibly easy. But, how contradictory is it when the same person that says bad things about politicians not being nice to the city, throws trash on the floor carelessly, doesn’t respect the traffic rules, or something like that?

I wish I could perform some brain transplants… some people seem to lack a good one… How smart is a person that can’t understand we should be responsible for this city? We should take care of our own home. And this is our home.

What do you think?

Isn’t it one of the most beautiful places in the world?

Take care,

have a nice weekend…

Ola, chicos!

My first post – the first one was just a welcome note – is, in fact, an answer to my friend’s post in her blog : Tattoo or not tattoo?

And here’s my answer:

*Pieces of Me*

I’ve always wanted to get a tattoo. Since I was young. But it took me a while to decide whether or not I should really get it. All those questions haunted me, “what if i regret it?” “and what if it doesn’t look so nice?” “what if the tattooer is not that good?” “what if it hurst a lot?” “what if…?” “what if…?”

The point is: I’m sure I made the right decision. I didn’t get tattooed very young, as I was a typical teenager and I used to change my mind as often I changed clothes – and that was a lot!

I had my first tattoo when I was 25. No, it didn’t hurt. I’d carefully decided on the drawing – stars had always been a passion – I drew the stars and printed them. Took them to the tattooer – a highly recommended one – and got my first little stars. Love them!!!!!

Two years later, I got the other ones. On the same day. People say that you shouldn’t have an even number of tattoos – it’s bad luck. Again, it took me a while to decide on them ’cause I wanted to be sure about what I really wanted. That’s when I got a sentence tattoed on my right foot – “força Sempre” (there’s an explanation for this sentence) and a little A, as it is the first letter of my name. I wrote this little A on a piece of paper and the tattooed used it on my neck. So, it’s my own handwriting.

The point is: IF you decide to get a tattoo, be sure to check some important aspects:

*be sure about what you want to have tatooed on your body – this is an important decision. you’ll probably have that for the rest of your life;

*ask friends for tattooers – you’ll feel safer if you get tattooed by someone you’ve already seen the job;

*be sure the place is totally clean, if the tattoer wears gloves, things like that;

*be sure to check if they use disposable needles.

Now, four years later, I’ve been thinking about getting new ones – two, again, as i need to have an odd number of tattoos.

Does anybody have any suggestion?!??!?!?!

Help me, pleeeeeeease!!!!
