Moments worth living

The most difficult thing for me is to say goodbye. So, I don't want to think that this is the end, just one more stage that we passed through. In this year my life changed overnight, a new school, new routine, new friends. In the begginnig I thought that I wouldn't get by this year, but this change only made me stronger, I learned that life is rough, but we can make it worth, we can be happy with what is gived to us.

Now I can see that this change brought more things to me than it takes. The most important thing was my friends, specially Ana Clara and Mateus. Ana is an incredible friend, loyal and one of the stronger person that I know. Mateus is the one of the most amazing person that I know, he is truthful and very clever. But there are people that don't import how much things change, they are aways with us, for me they are my parents, who I know that I woudn't be a third part of what I am now if they weren't with me. So these peolple worth a lot to me and they make me think that everything will be allright, because I have them independent on what happens.

And that's not all that I gained this year, there were a lot of moments that will be in my memorie too. And not only big things that happened to me, but the small too, like the happyness that I felt when I succed in a projet that I really worked on, or the laughter that I bursted into with my friends at braks at school. These are the things worth living.

So stop for a minute and think about the things that make your year worth living and you will see that you have a wonderful life. I did this and it really worked. And more, you will also see that not only your year, but all your life, even the dark moments, was worth living.

That's the mensage that I want to leave in this last post, see you later, nice hollydays,

xoxo

Moments Worth Living

Moments Worth Living

Someone told me, one day, to live day to day like the last one. I always thought that it is ridiculous or obviously phrase, but this year I had the opportunity to change my thoughts. I passed some difficulties and weird situations which prove me that this day can be the last and you need to enjoy it much as you can. So since then I begun to enjoy and love the life.

I learnt a lot of things and I know there are more and more things to learn, I make some good friends, I discovered that a I have at home not a perfect family, but MY family with parents whose I can't live without, a little and cuttie brother who makes my life more fun, a punk dog and a twin sister who makes me happy and support me all the time, I learnt "I only know that I don't know anything", I had the opportunity to write in group this blog that help me to do collective work and it was really fun.

Look to the sky, hug a tree, stop and look to raining, have a good and loud laugh, cry, pray, appreciate the things that surround you, think, learn philosophy and when you wake up say thank you to God if you belive in him, if not say thank you to yourself.

All the things I have said above makes fell my life worth living!

In conclusion, Mateus and Maria Tereza you are amazing new friends, you two made my year worth living, Mateus with his good heart and his sincerity and Maria Tereza with her lovely and loyalty. I wish for you two a brillant future and all the good things in the world.

P.S: Maria Tereza you are fantastic you don't have any difficulty and you don't need to worry about anything. Mateus, God exist, you are a wonderful person, your sincerity is a kindness for the other people, but stop to imply with Natália!!

It is the last post so Happy Holidays and as my aunt says "See in a while crocodile"!!!

Kisses,

Ana Clara Simões.

Review of "Voices from the list"

"Voices from the List"

The film we would like to review is a documentary produced by Michal Mayhear.It is called "Voices from the List".
It is based on a true history which happened during the Second World War.
The main theme of the documentary is the survival of holocausto's testimonies.They talk about their experiences and terrifying situations they passed since of the beging of chase to the end of the war.
This is a documentary about corage and superation in which we learnt how important is life and so many people pass through more difficult things than us but we insist on thinking that our lifes are difficult, when actually it is not, in comparation to the jews' lifes during the holocausto.
The jews who gave their witness were very corageous and knew the importance of saying to whole world how a solidarity action can change a horror scenery.
With their memories they showed a light through the middle of a dark period of the history of mankind.
We would reccomend this documentary to anyone,especially who likes hisroty and who likes to know more about the Second World War's episodes,because this is an incredible witness of people who really lived this experience and have a lot to teach us.

Love Is Forever?

LOVE IS FOREVER?

“Our love would be forever” is a interval of a song called Neutron Star Collision written by Muse, but nowadays we see a diferent reality.It’s common to see more and more married couple get divorced and a lot of young couple split up a long relationship.The society’s majority put the fault in the modern life but ,in fact,we have to back 3 millions years to understand the end of a relationship.

Acording to recent s research, the old family’s objective was guarantee to the man stay around for enough time to create children,only this,so when the children grew up the father was free to go away therefore the seven’s crisis.

However the ending of a relationship is a old fact in the human’s life, the form how how some people split up with a boyfriend/girlfriend change a lot. Today is useful people use the internet to finish a relationship,like using emails or social network,”finish a relationshio using the Internet is being more common, because generally is more easy ,more fast and avoid fights”,said Sean Wood, marketing director of relationship’s service Date The Uk.The Internet also contribute to increase the jealous between the couples, almost 75% people sign in ex-boyfriends/girlfriends or free friends in the social network.

While is truth the Internet increase jealous, the Internet is not the only reason, in fact, the jealous is a phenomenon which was create to preserve the relationship, in the man activity parts of brain connect with aggressive and sexual behavious, like the amidala and the hipotalamo,while in the woman ,the upper behind temporal groove is the area which was activity connect with another people emotion’s perception.

To sum up the end of a relationship is a old fact in the human’s life, obvious the modern life contribute to increase the end of a relationship, but we belive the people can not give up about love, every day is time to love and make a different relationship, we can not accommodate and put the fault about a relationship’s ending in the modern life. Like the poetry Vinicius de Morais: “to be eternal while during”.

Favela é isso aí

Favela é isso aí

Non-Governmental Organization Favela é isso aí was the result of the Cultural Guide to Villages and Slums, designed by the anthropologist Clarice Libânio and published in August 2004.The organization was created in order to provide the construction of citizenship, raising self-esteem, social inclusion and combating violence by supporting and disseminating actions of art and culture from the periphery.

which is one of the principal shapers of opinion...

As the Rodrigo Baggio’s project, the project Favela é isso aí appears as a way to include young people from underprivileged classes in society and the in the labor market. No project is aiming to a direct fight with drug trade, but providing opportunities helps to keep this young people away of this sad reality. The difference between the two projects is that the Favela é isso aí project aimed at people interested in art,of all kinds,and the Rodrigo Baggio’s project aims to help people interested in technology. Both show that it is possible for non- governmental organizations to change the reality of our country and it's up to all of us, instead of staying seated complaining of measures that are not taken by the government, do our part to make Brazil become a better country .

You can get more information of the project in their site:
