Christmas is in the air .....

I love this time of year !!!!
 
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true oh
All I want for Christmas is you
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need, and I
Don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow, and I
I just wanna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake
To hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Oh, Baby all I want for Christmas is you

Learning to fly

Dear Aunt Marta .....
Thank you for all the smiles you have given me,
for your patience, for your love,
for being there to support me
not only in the bad and difficult times, when I needed it most,
but also to share my joys and triumphs,

Thank you for showing me that despite the problems and
more complicated situations it is possible to display a big smile,

Thanks for your generosity,
thanks for sharing what you had, not what you had left,
thank you for understanding my character or for trying,

Thank you for being a part of my life
thanks for your embroidery, your wool and crazy ...
thank you for fighting and getting up again and again

Thank you for facing your illness with optimism !!!

This list could be endless....
that's why I just want to tell you that I love you so much ...
Today you come home, and all the love you have given
whoever has met you will meet you at the airport.

I wish I could be with you, but you know that
although we are not together we are united.

Difference enriches us!

Every time I am more convinced that differences enrich us. Especially if we make reference to the cultural field. In this particular case, I love the vision that has Giles Peterson as he through music has been able to discover the richness of many cultures and also enhance what sometimes goes unnoticed for many of us.

Tongue twisters !!!!

Have you ever tried to say a tongue twister in English? At least for me it's really difficult; but what are tongue twisters?  

'Tongue twisters are phrases or sentences  that often uses the same sound again and again. You must repeat them as quickly as possible whilst still making sure you are speaking clearly (...) Tongue twisters are word games which are fantastic to improve our pronunciation when speaking English'.

Can you say this sentence?
I thought I thought of thinking of thanking you.
So why are tongue twisters useful for your pronunciation practice? Aren't they just silly sentences without any purpose?

Really,  they are silly, but the repetition of the same sound is incredibly useful. When you exercise the same pronunciation muscles again and again, you are training them to get stronger and use that sound naturally.

Why worry ....just imagine!

These are two of the most relaxing and beautiful songs that I've ever listened....


Why do we hate?

This woman is really wise, at  least for me, 
now that  she tell us that the unique way to destroy the racism
 is some as obvious as complex....

E D U C A T I O N !!!!


Evan ...

Sadly, many of times 
we are often blind 
to the needs 
of the rest of the world ...





What's the difference?

Sonho Meu ...(My dream)

Perhaps because the death surrounds my family, I can't help thinking about what really important is, I think about friendship, about good friends, about family, about all those good and bad moments that have made us just the way we are nowadays.

Without a doubt, time passes and will continue to pass, but the truth is that although apparently, it takes what we most want, we will have the memory. Maria Bethania, is one of those memories that will accompany me eternally, through her music I come to mind a whole happy and grateful childhood with  Life ....
