New stuff in my blog

Maybe i need to get a life lol because im puting things in my blog that maybe nobody will see lol but today i decided to add some things :-)

i added two radios: one is the Spiritual Connextions Radio that belongs to the Spiritual Connextions site (a great site dedicated to spiritualism and to all people all over the world interested in this subject) and this radio is, till now, the only online radio also all connected with spiritualism.......it has a very good choice of songs and it also has interviews to famous spiritualists, live shows and interesting programmes about this subject.......



the other radio, i created it today in a portuguese site dedicated to music......its called Cotonete, funny name lol..........i chose the kind of music i prefer and i wish people will enjoy the songs there :-) i prepared it to play when this page is opened but sadly this radio cant be listened in Firefox browsers, only in Internet Explorer........anyway, if you want to listen to Spiritual Connextions Radio or to any video posted in my blog, better first turn off this radio which i called Blue Station :-)

the other thing i added to my blog is a poll.......in this first poll i ask people what do they think about my blog..........well, i hope somebody will answer to it, because me, as the creator of this blog, i cant answer lol...........anyway i gave more than one month to the end of the poll.......now, please be honest! im curious to know your opinion :-D

Our earth

I found today in internet the impressions that the astronauts made about what they felt when they saw the earth from the moon......and they are really amazing.........in fact, must be an unique experience to see our beautiful planet from so far, and only see its beauty............it looks like theres no bad things in this world, no pain, no hate, we live altogether in the same planet, a very fragile one but plenty of wonderful things all around us :-)



ASTRONAUT'S IMPRESSIONS ON VIEWING
THE EARTH FROM THE MOON
---------------------------------------- ----------------------
"The view of the earth from the moon fascinated me - a small disk, 240,000 miles away. It was hard to think that little thing held so many frustrations. Raging nationalistic interests, famines, wars, pestilence don't show from that distance....If some stranger came from another part of the heavens, he would certainly know instinctively ...that the destinies of all who lived on it must inevitably be interwoven and joined. We are one hunk of ground, water, air, clouds, floating around in space. From out there it really is one world."
----- Frank Borman, commander of Apollo 8, the first lunar mission



"The soft, glowing presence of planet Earth in the black abyss had a pristine clarity uncaptured by photographs. Images on film lack the subtle shades, the brightness, and the depth of the living sphere, which bulged out of the blackness as I sailed outward on Apollo 11... From the deep blue of the Mediterranean, all of Europe and Africa sprawled away in soft pastels, innocent of political boundaries. And from the surface of the moon, where I could cover with my thumb the site of all human history, the Earth seemed fragile as a Christmas ornament, drifting like a lost balloon on the black velvet of space. The image of a living Earth, capable of extinction, disarms illusions of individual or tribal isolation. We gained more than altitude in those 66 years from Kitty Hawk to the moon. Seeing Earth not as an extension of man, but man as an extension of Earth."
----- Buzz Aldrin, lunar-module pilot of Apollo 11



"It was something so awe-inspiring you had to sneak a glance at it every chance you got." ...[Seeing the Earth from that vantage point convinced him it must have been created by a higher power.]... "It's too beautiful to have happened by accident. To me, it was like sitting on God's back porch, looking back home."
----- Gene Cernan, Commander Apollo 10

A sad story

I received this sad story months ago in my email box and today i found it and i will post it here because its very touching........

“Boy, I am really easy to touch ...

I was walking around in a store. I saw a cashier hand this little boy his money back saying "I'm sorry you do not have enough money to buy the doll."

Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ''Granny, are you sure I don't have enough money?''

The old lady replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.''

Then she asked him to stay there for 5 minutes while she went to look around. She left quickly.

The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.

Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to.

"It is the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for this Christmas. She was so sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her."

I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus will bring it to her after all, and not to worry.
But he replied to me sadly. "No, Santa Claus cannot bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mummy so that she can give it to her when she goes there."

His eyes were so sad while saying this. "My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mummy will also go to see God very soon, so I thought that she could bring the doll with her to give it to my sister.''

My heart nearly stopped.

The little boy looked up at me and said: "I told daddy to tell mummy not to go yet. I asked him to wait until I come back from the mall."

Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me "I also want mummy to take this photo with her so that she will not forget me."

"I love my mummy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister"

Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.

I quickly reached for my wallet and took a few notes and said to the boy. "What if we checked again, just in case you have enough money?''

"Ok" he said "I hope that I have enough." I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.

The little boy said: "Thank you God for giving me enough money."

Then he looked at me and added "I asked yesterday before I slept for God to make sure I have enough money to buy this doll so that mummy can give it to my sister. He heard me.''

"I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mummy, but I didn't dare to ask God too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and the white rose.''

"You know, my mummy loves white roses."

A few minutes later, the old lady came again and I left with my basket.

I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I
started. I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind.

Then I remembered a local newspaper article 2 days ago, which mentioned of a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car, where there was one young lady and a little girl.

The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-assisting machine, because the young lady would not be able to get out of the coma.

Was this the family of the little boy?

Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the young lady had passed away.

I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the Funeral Home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before burial.

She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest.

I left the place water-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed forever. The love that this little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk man had taken all this away from him.”

Luna

When i was in the World New 7 Wonders show, one of the artists invited to sing there was Alessandro Safina........till then, i havent heard much about him, so i was ignoring what was going to happen........only who was there can understand what i felt.......when he started to sing his wonderful song Luna in that beautiful stadium, the magnificent music coming from everywhere, it was like a dream, and in some bits, the highest moments of the song, the most touching, i confess i even felt a cold in my spine..........

its a very special song and its sung in a very special way.......and even being spoken in italian, i understand most things that are said there........italian is one of my favourite languages, it belongs to my 3 favourite languages (the portuguese, the english and the italian).........its such a sweet and romantic and beautiful language, i think :-)

and that song also talks about the moon, thats a planet i love, it has so much importance in my life, it gives us company in the night, it shows how in different places in the world so many people can be watching at the same time the same moon and how that connects those people who are so far away from one anothers...........

so i thought that song deserved a post here in my blog, and i will put here its lyrics both in italian and in english, and ill put two videos i found in YouTube, one its the original video and other one its a great video with wonderful images of the moon :-)



Luna
(Alessandro Safina)

Only you can hear my soul
Only you can hear my soul

Luna tu
Quanti sono i canti che hai ascoltato gia
Desideri che attraverso i secoli
Han solcato il cielo per raggiungerti
Porto per poeti che non scrivono
E che il loro sennospesso perdono
Tu accogli i sospiri di chi spasima
E regali un sogno ad ogni anima
Luna che mi guardi adesso ascoltami

Only you can hear my soul

Luna tu
Che conosci il tempo delléternita
E il sentiero stretto della verita
Fa piu luce dentro questo Cuore mio
Questo cuore d’uomo che non sa, non sa

Che l’amore puo nascondere il dolore
Come un fuoco ti puo brucaire l’amima

Luna tu
Tu rischiari il cielo e la sua immensita
E ci mostri solo la meta che vuoi
Come poi facciama quasi sempre noi
Angeli di creta che non volano
Anime di carta che si incendiano
Couri come foglie che poi cadono
Sogni fatti d’aria che svaniscono
Figli della terra e figli tuoi che sai

Che l’amore puo nascondere il dolore
Come un fuoco ti puo brucaire l’amima
Che l’amore puo nascondere il dolore

Ma e con l’amore che respira il nostro cuore
E la forza che tutto muove e illumina

Only you can hear my soul

Alba lux, diva mea, diva es silentissima



English Translation

(Only you can hear my soul)

Oh Moon
how many songs you have listened
wishes that wandered the centuries
cutting the heavens to reach you
refuge for poets that never wrote
and all those thrown into lunacy
you invite the sights of lovers
and give a dream to all souls
moon, who guides me, listen now

(Only you can hear my soul)

Oh moon
who you know time and eternity
and the narrow walk of truth
send more light into this heart of mine
the heart of a man who doesn't know, oh doesn't know

that love can hide pain inside
like a fire that will destroy your soul

(Only you can hear my soul)

Oh moon
you light the heavens in their infinity
you show only what pleases you
just like we do every time
angels made of clay, inable to fly
souls made of paper, that will burn
wilted like leaves, that fall
dreams made of wind, that will fade
children of the earth, children of the moon, that know

that love can hide pain inside
like a fire that will destroy your soul

(Chorus sings latin: light of the dawn, my goddess, my so silent goddess)

but it's love our heart beats with
and love is the force that moves and illuminates everything

(Chorus sings latin: light of the dawn, my goddess, my so silent goddess)

My desert

My heart is like a desert
where the only voice I hear
is my own voice

Walking for years
among dunes all alike

The sand is hot
but my soul feels so cold
And at night
I can't see any stars in the sky

I think it's too late
to find my flower
in this desert

I think it's too late
to find my oasis
that will save me

But I will keep walking
and walking
until my feet hurt
until I have no more strength

And one day
I will give up
of looking for nothing
in this desert

The desert of my life

You Are So Beautiful to Me

Today this song doesnt leave my head.......why is it?

You Are So Beautiful to Me
(Joe Cocker)

You are so beautiful
To me
You are so beautiful
To me
Can't you see
You're everything I hoped for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful
To me

Such joy and happiness you bring
Such joy and happiness you bring
Like a dream
A guiding light that shines in the night
Heavens gift to me
You are so beautiful
To me

About the airplane accident in Brazil

I feel so sad with what happened today in Brazil, that awful airplane accident, so many people who died.......and their families who were already there in the airport waiting for them, and suddenly this happens, oh my God it must have been so painful for all them.......

a few days ago, brazilians had such a great joy when the Chirst Redeemer statue was elected one of the World 7 Wonders, so happy and proud they must have felt, i also was happy for them, because Brazil is our brother country..........and today this horrible accident happens........all the country is now crying for all the victims......

it seems people have no right to be happy........it seems they must pay for the good things they have........is this fair?

sometimes life is so, so unfair :-(

i wish all those people who died today are now resting in peace, and i wish all their families will be strong enough to handle all this pain they are feeling now......

Emerald Wave

A beautiful image for today, i found it in internet, its called Emerald Wave.....

maybe the best image to stop a bit and enjoy it and forget all things in our lives that annoy us......and only feel the beauty of this sea.........the silence of an image that says so much......

goodnight to everybody who spends a little time of their lives reading my messages in this blog :-)

My birthday message........

I need to write something but dont know what, im just feeling so bad, im feeling sad, i want this day to finish quickly, im not enjoying this day, im so fed up of everything, i wanted to go away forever, i wanted to hide somewhere and cry the whole day, im not happy with me, im not happy with the world, i feel lost, i feel im being silly, im stupid, im getting old and the world doesnt need me, its hurting my head and im tired of crying, where is my rainbow? where is my sunshine? where is my reason of living? what am i doing here? why my nights are so dark? where are my stars? where are my angels? theres a music somewhere but i cant listen to it.....why?......i feel im walking in a desert for days, months, years, and i havent found yet a simple drop of water.......im thirsty, im so thirsty......people say theres a fountain somewhere, a fountain with fresh water, but i know theres no fountain, and even if i find one, i will realise its dry.......and it never had water in it, i know it........dreaming about something i never had, dreaming about something i will never have........does love exist? i dont believe in love.........wheres happiness? theres so much pain in this stupid world.......in this moment, so many people hurting so many other people, so many innocent children crying............so many people being cruel to so many animals........so many trees dying and dying............stupid world where i live, im so tired of everything, im so tired of me, im hating this day, why theres a day where people celebrate the day they were born? only very special people should deserve a day like that, where they will be surrounded by people in which lives they have made a difference........ive not made any difference in any people life.........world isnt better with me here, world would be better without me here, but ive no courage to go away..........im so selfish, im breathing an air i dont deserve, i dont belong to this world........."the language of love" Robbie Williams said now in his song Misunderstood, whats that? birds are singing outside, maybe thats the only language of love........

i think im needing a hug right now........

The little prince - Chapter 6

Oh, little prince! Bit by bit I came to understand the secrets of your sad little life . . . For a long time you had found your only entertainment in the quiet pleasure of looking at the sunset. I learned that new detail on the morning of the fourth day, when you said to me:

"I am very fond of sunsets. Come, let us go look at a sunset now."

"But we must wait," I said.

"Wait? For what?"

"For the sunset. We must wait until it is time."

At first you seemed to be very much surprised. And then you laughed to yourself. You said to me:

"I am always thinking that I am at home!"

Just so. Everybody knows that when it is noon in the United States the sun is setting over France.

If you could fly to France in one minute, you could go straight into the sunset, right from noon. Unfortunately, France is too far away for that. But on your tiny planet, my little prince, all you need do is move your chair a few steps. You can see the day end and the twilight falling whenever you like . . .

"One day," you said to me, "I saw the sunset forty-four times!"

And a little later you added:

"You know--one loves the sunset, when one is so sad . . ."

"Were you so sad, then?" I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets?"

But the little prince made no reply.



happy birthday to me...........

About my birthday tomorrow :-(

So tomorrow its my birthday, one more day in my life, one more year, me getting older and older, and when i look backwards i realise how silly has been my life, how little i have made in this world.......most people make a difference in the world, starting for making a difference in other peoples lives, but i feel i have not been making any difference in any life of all people i know...........i believe all people i know very easily would live without my presence in their lives......and maybe some of them would feel really reliefed with my absence, i feel it :-(

usually my birthday is always my favourite day of the year......because in that day, i feel a bit special, my closest family and friends remembering me and calling me to wish me a happy day, or giving me nice presents, and writing to me cards with sweet messages, or making me wonderful surprises.....or simply being with me and giving me all their love.........and then the "cake moment" when i feel really special, everybody clapping at me :-) also in that day i know i dont need to prepare anything, as it happens in other parties, where i always have lots of things to organise, and i feel always so responsible if i forget something or somebody lol

but this year, dont know why, i feel my birthday will be really crap.....i know im being unfair because my family who loves me so much, will be here with me, as they always are, always, in the good and in the bad moments, i know it..........but im not talking about them, im talking about me, i feel my stupid dark clouds decided to invade my heart and they wont go away, specially in my birthday.........ive this sad feeling that something very important to me is missing, its always missing, and how can i feel happy with that?

its funny how my life is like a jigsaw, and in that jigsaw of 3.000 pieces theres a little piece missing.......and instead of being happy with the 2.999 pieces i already have, i insist on thinking only about the one thats missing.........is this fair?

i know its my fault, i should fight against this feeling, i should try to do something, but i simply cant! i feel i needed something that would give me enough strength to make a difference not only in my life but also in the lives of the ones around me..........

and time keeps passing, years keep going, and here i am in the middle of nowhere waiting for nothing..........and one day its too late, i will go away and in my last seconds i know it, i will regret all my life, all my feelings, all my thoughts, all my actions.........but it will be too late and i wont have more time to change things, to change myself........

and the world will keep turning round as if i have never existed........

and people will keep living their lives as if i had never made part of them......

will anybody really miss me when i will go away?

Feel

One of Robbie Williams best songs, so romantic and beautiful and so touching :-)

and i love the lyrics because they say so well what im feeling in some moments of my life.........

i will post here the lyrics and a video of his amazing performance in Knebworth, and i will dedicate it to a very, very special friend whos very far, but its always on my mind :-)

FEEL

Come and hold my hand,
I wanna contact the living.
Not sure I understand,
This role I’ve been given.

I sit and talk to god
And he just laughs at my plans,
My head speaks a language,
I don’t understand.

I just wanna feel real love,
Feel the home that I live in.
’cause I got too much life,
Running through my veins,
going to waste.

I don’t wanna die,
But I ain’t keen on living either.
Before I fall in love,
I’m preparing to leave her.

I scare myself to death,
That’s why I keep on running.
Before I’ve arrived,
I can see myself coming.

I just wanna feel real love,
Feel the home that I live in.
’cause I got too much life,
Running through my veins,
going to waste.

And I need to feel real love
And a life ever after.
I cannot get enough.

I just wanna feel real love,
Feel the home that I live in,
I got too much love,
Running through my veins,
going to waste.

I just wanna feel real love,
In a life ever after
There’s a hole in my soul,
You can see it in my face,
it’s a real big place.

Come and hold my hand,
I wanna contact the living,
Not sure I understand,
This role I’ve been given

Not sure I understand.
Not sure I understand.
Not sure I understand.
Not sure I understand.

Friday 13th and other numbers

Today is Friday 13th and its funny how so many people dont like this day saying its a day of bad luck..........only because its Friday and the 13th day of the month lol

thanks God, ive not this superstition, as i dont have so many other superstitions, such as not opening umbrellas inside home, or avoiding to pass below a ladder or being afraid of black cats........oh my God what should i do because one of my cats is black? lol.........and i love her so much and she gives so much joys to me :-)


(Titó, my beautiful and lovely black cat)

but its funny because there is something i keep making, cant avoid that, its to knock on wood everytime people talk about things that im afraid it may happen, i know its so stupid but cant avoid that lol

but the Friday 13th i really dont mind about it, i even like the number 13, its a cool number, maybe my second favorite number, because my first one is the 8 :-)

i love the number 8 its the coolest of all, now please dont ask me why because i dont know why :-) i remember my 8th birthday when i received a yellow ball and i loved playing with it with my sisters lol......but i dont believe thats the reason, its a cool number all round, it recalls me a snowman, the zero is also round but its boring all equal but the 8 recalls the infinit, the 8 also includes all numbers in it, we can see that in a calculator, when theres no number in the little monitor, which number we can see there? the 8 and with it we can type all the other numbers, thats so cool!



8 is also the number that from 0 to 10 we can divide more times in equal parts, 8 we can divide in 8, in 4, in 2 and in 1, no other number has that privilege :-)

well, im not sure why i like so much the number 8, maybe i should prefer the 7, because my birthday its in July, the 7th month, and because the 7 is a number plenty of meanings, but dont know why i prefer the 8.......even in pool games my favorite ball is the black one with the 8 :-)



and why the icon of the "cool" is made with an 8? ------> 8-)

so today its Friday 13th and i must not forget to play the Euromillions, i hope it will give me luck :-)

(and as usual, one of my numbers will be the 8.......but today i will also chose the 13!)

wish me luck :-)

*crossing fingers and toes*

About the New 7 Wonders show

I havent written here yet about the wonderful event of the New 7 Wonders where i had the luck to be watching live :-)

i loved it so much, it was a show plenty of light and music and colour and visual effects and fireworks, it was a very special moment, plenty of emotion, those moments that are unique in our lives and that we will never forget.........

40 000 people in the Stadium and 1,6 millions spectators all over the world!

Portugal was chosen for this event because its considered a safe country with a stable politics, its known for organizing very well these kind of events, and because Portugal in the past had a main importance in the discovery of new lands all over the world......

thats why i feel so proud because i was born in a country that not only has great qualities as a country and as a people, but also it has such a great History :-) in the past we had the courage to go away to the sea and to go to far places where nobody has been before.......and during the trips we didnt know the dangers that were waiting for us........we have a very brave History :-)




in the first partof the show, it was the election of the portuguese 7 Wonders, and i must say ive voted in most of them :-)

here is the list:

Mosteiro de Alcobaça
(Alcobaça Monastery)

Mosteiro dos Jerónimos (Lisboa)
(Jerónimos Monastery-Lisbon)

Palácio da Pena (Sintra)
(Pena Palace-Sintra)

Mosteiro da Batalha
(Batalha Monastery)

Castelo de Óbidos
(Óbidos Castle)

Torre de Belém (Lisboa)
(Belém Tower-Lisbon)

Castelo de Guimarães
(Guimarães Castle)


such wonderful monuments, indeed :-D

in the second part, the New 7 Wonders of the world were finally elected:

The Great Wall, China
Petra, Jordan
Christ Redemeer, Brazil
Machu Picchu, Peru
Chichén Itzá, Mexico
The Roman Colosseum, Italy
The Taj Mahal, India

here is the information about the New 7 Wonders:

The New7Wonders organization is happy to announce the following 7 candidates have been elected to represent global heritage throughout history. The listing is in random order, as announced at the Declaration Ceremony on 07.07.07. All the New 7 Wonders are equal and are presented as a group without any ranking.





Official New 7 Wonders of the World status is subject to a final validation process, and will be confirmed during a forthcoming New7Wonders Inauguration Tour.

and here is a little film i found in YouTube about this wonderful show :-)

Image

My sister Ceu sent now to me this picture saying that it made her recall me :-)
such a wonderful image isnt it?
and it says so much.......

Don't think

Don't think
Don't think about things that hurt you
Don't think about how you are feeling right now
Don't think about where you would like to be now
Don't think about what you would like to be doing now
Don't think about the ones you love and you miss
Don't think about dreams you know they will never come true
Don't think about smiles you can't smile
Don't think about joys you can't have
Don't think about hugs you can't share
Don't think about anything that makes you suffer
That makes you cry

Don't think
Just try not to think
Even only for one second

...

Life is so wonderful now, isnt it?

Angels

I need my angels.....

please dont leave me......

Anybody knows...?

Anybody knows the feeling that the sky is so blue and bright, the sun is so warm and nice, and suddenly, for some reason we ignore, theres a dark cloud that appears and it hides the sun behind it, and it insists in being there, the sky gets dark, so dark, and you feel cold, so much cold, as if everything inside your body and your soul had frozen?

anybody knows this feeling?

anybody knows the feeling that suddenly, for some reason we ignore, a big emptiness enters your heart, and you want to have positive thoughts but you simply cant have them, you feel your empty heart invaded by an enormous sadness and you cant avoid your tears?

anybody knows this feeling?

Chinese proverb

I love this chinese proverb, so true and wise :-)

About money

With money you can buy a house, but not a home.
With money you can buy a clock, but not time.
With money you can buy a bed, but not sleep.
With money you can buy a book, but not knowledge.
With money you can see a doctor, but not good health.
With money you can buy a position, but not respect.
With money you can buy blood, but not life.
With money you can buy sex, but not love.

The New 7 Wonders of the World

Im so happy because this Saturday 07/07/2007 it will be in my dear Estádio da Luz the ceremony of the new 7 Wonders :-)

it will be a wonderful moment plenty of meaning not only historical but also artistic, and its important for all mankind.........it will be watched in every television all over the world and ILL BE THERE! :-D

to be honest im very proud because Portugal was chosen for this important ceremony and the place was the stadium of my dear Benfica team, thats the most beautiful stadium all over the world i must say :-)



the tickets are very expensive so i bought the cheapest ones for me and my sister and my nephew but i dont mind to be far from the enormous stage, as long as im there :-D

we will have there lots of artists and known people, lots of visual effects and fireworks, it will be a very special moment, unique, and i feel so happy because i had the luck to find tickets for me and my family :-)

months ago i voted in the 7 Wonders, one of them were the Pyramides of Gisa (Egypt), but after that they decided to give to them a special honour and i agree with them because, in my opinion, they are the most important Wonder of all.......as the votes depend on people all over the world who are still voting, i was afraid that for some reason my dear Pyramides couldnt be chosen and it would be really unfair........but now, they have this special honour that they deserve so much, and i think that was a wonderful idea :-)

i also voted in the Acropolis (Greece), Christ Redeemer (Brazil), Easter Island Statues (Chile), Stonehenge (UK), Taj Mahal (India).......cant remember very well the last one lol, ive voted so long ago, but i think it was the Kremlin (Russia) but im not sure lol



it will be an event that only in 2.000 years it will organised again so i must say that i feel very proud for watching live to this historical ceremony.........and its also important because they will chose there too the portuguese new 7 Wonders :-)

i think they chose Lisbon for this event because its called the City of the 7 Hills :-) that would be so cool, isnt it?!
