1000 Things: 10.09

advice by own experience

i know it can be really hard, but try to not let teenage love affairs bring you down.

in the teenage, they will appear many times and you should know to handle them to avoid depressions or something like that.

you must realize that there's so much more in your life besides that.

i did, and i'm living much better now :)

take a look at that song in the right (Newton Faulkner's 'To The Light') ---->

fooling myself

(...)

Stay or leave

I want you not to go but you should
It was good as good goes
Stay or leave
I want you not to go but you did

(...)

So what to do
With the rest of the day's afternoon, hey
Well isn't it strange how we change
Everything we did
Did I do all that I could?

That I should'a done

Remember we used to dance
And everyone wanted to be
You and me
I want to be too
What day is this?
Besides the day you left me?
What day is this
Besides the day you went? '

-> 'Stay Or Leave' - Dave Matthews

"Strange Animals" no. 2

This month's strange animal is the Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum).

- it's a salamander that lives in Mexico City lakes.

- it's a critically endangered specie.

- "Axolotl" is a aztec name that means "water monster".

- in some countries this amphibian is kept as a pet. i saw it for sale in a pet's store in Lisbon.

- it is always smiling.

(I DO NOT own this photos)

stressful society

Belive it or not, we live in a stressful society - a society full of stress.

When you try live your live righteously, when you try to take it easy, the society screams in your face: ' YOU'RE WRONG. YOU HAVE TO BE STRESSED ' .

Yeah, it is quite wrong, but it happens everyday. They're wrong and they require you to be wrong like them.

I've been passing so many times through this situation in the last several months.

... but it's the world i live in, so i can't do nothing but carrying on living and hoping that someday the world will change.

' I'm Grateful For ...' (no. 1)

English:

Heey guys. This is another new monthly section called ' I'm Grateful For ... ' .

One of the principles of Buddhism is expressing gratitude ( ' Kansha Shite ' ) , so as you know, i'm nothing but a follower of those principles.

Gratitude is good for the others and even better for us ! (Gratitude is Good for your Health)

Be grateful and feel fine :)

Português:

Oii malta. Esta é outra rubrica mensal chamada ' Sou Grato Por ... '

Um dos grandes principios do Budismo é expressar gratidão ( 'Kansha Shite' ), e como alguns sabem, eu vou tentando seguir esses mesmos princípios.

A Gratidão é muito boa para os outros, mas ainda melhor para nós ! (A Gratidão faz bem á saúde)

Sê grato e sente-te bem :)

Today i'm going to talk about : Grandparents

It's incredible how much experience they have.

It's incredicle how many stories they have to tell us.

It's incredible how much they love us and how affectionately they take care of us.

We have so much to thank them, or atleast, i really have.

Are you being greatful for your grandparents? Will they realize how much you love them before they die? Be sure they do.

Português:

Hoje vou falar de : Avós

É incrível a experiência que eles têm.
É incrível quantas histórias de vida eles têm para nos contar.
É incrível o quanto eles nos amam e como tão bem tomam conta de nós.

Temos tanto que lhes agradecer, ou pelo menos, eu tenho mesmo.

Estão a ser grato pelos vossos avós? Será que eles vão perceber o quanto gostam deles, antes de morrerem? Certifiquem-se que sim.

They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life. And, most importantly, cookies. ' - Rudolph Giuliani ,
