Mother's Day

Mother's Day is a time of commemoration and celebration for Moms. One of the best ways to celebrate Mother's day is to give your mom a day off. It is a time of breakfast in bed, family gatherings, and crayon scribbles. Let her take it easy and relax while the rest of the family does the work.

What a cute little bear!

“Rio” is a good movie with a funny story. I like it and I think that you will like it, too…

It’s about a domesticated Macaw, his name is Blu, he has lived a comfortable life with his owner and best friend Linda in the small town of Moose Lake, Minnesota. They think he is the last Macaw of his kind but he isn’t. There is another Macaw like him in Brazil. He has to come to Brazil with Linda to mate the female macaw Jewel in order to preserve the species and that is where the adventure begins!!!

Run to the cinema and watch RIO 3D…

Easter is the springtime holiday marking the rebirth of Jesus and the renewal of the Christian faith.It is a blessed time for the faithful people to celebrate the life, death and resurrection of the Savior... and a magical time for children to enjoy chocolate bunnies and Easter eggs.

Lent, in the Christian tradition, is the period of the liturgical year from Ash Wednesday to Easter. The traditional purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer — through prayer, repentance, almsgiving and self-denial — for the annual commemoration during Holy Week of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the events linked to the Passion of Christ and culminates in Easter, the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

This time is important because we can plan to be better people for the rest of the year, love ourselves and this way love and help other people, too.

So let’s make our lives better in all the aspects: as children, parents, students, teachers, in short, let’s take the opportunity and do the best for our lives.

And to inspire all of you, there you go a poem (thought) and a video, such awesome as you! =D

“As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. You just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.”

This is a beautiful music about a big love, "When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change 'Cause you're amazing"

First of all, I’d like to apologize because I haven’t posted movies to you for a long time...So to reward you, I’m posting a really good movie

I have to tell you the truth, I haven’t seen it yet, but I really want to, cuz it seems to be a very funny film.

This movie is the follow-up of Meet the parents ( or in Portuguese, ‘Entrando numa fria’) and after Meet the Fockers ( “Entrando numa fria maior ainda”)… Do you know what movie am I talking about?

Yeeeeah, Little Fockers ( “Entrando numa fria maior ainda com a família”). Enjoy it!

Hello everybody!

Wow, there has been a long time that I haven’t posted anything here in the blog, but there is a reason. It’s because I was on vacation, and you know how vacation is, it’s time we enjoyed our friends and family, relaxed and just it!

But stop crying, I’m back! Hihi

So, to start the year very well, there you go: a clip of a very good song to inspire you to get everything that you would like and below the clip there is a thought by Clarice Lispector!

I hope it helps you get inspiration to have an awesome year!

Dream about whatever you want. Go where you would like to go. Be what you want to be, because you have only one life and in it we have the chance to do what we want. Have enough happiness do make it sweet. Difficulties to make it strong. Sadness to make it human. And enough hope to make it happy.

If you thought that tongue twister there is just in Portuguese, well you are very wrong. And to prove that there are tongue twister in Engilsh too, here goes one:
She sells seashells by the seashore. ( Ela vende conchas do mar na praia.)
Try to say it, it's difficult, but it's nice!
