wooo wooo wooo Rock in Rio!

well, i've never written a review before, so i probably suck at it lol i am gona try anyway. im going to talk more about the festival itself than the paul maccartney show... firstly i want to say that i never thought i could go because i could not pay 53¿ for each ticket, and i was very lucky. one afternoon the last week my mum called to a tv show that we're offering tickets and the next day they called her telling she had won two. my thoughts: "woohoooooo!!" her thoughts: "oh my god, what have i done?!". we only got the tickets on 27th May, the show was on 28th... i was starting to think it was just a joke. anyway we finally got them, and the next day we went there (not too excited about paul maccartney to be honest) but we wanted to have a look at the whole thing. right outside the subway there were two persons from the organization to give us directions in case we didn't know. then on all the way there was police agents to control the selling of unauthorized tickets. after that loooooong way to get to the entrance we had to open our bags, show everything inside and take the caps of any bottle we had (potential agressive material). oh and another thing, they said everyowhere no one could take their own cameras, i called the organization myself cause i wanted to take some decent pics and they said any kind of camera were not allowed in... ok, i left mine at home (first thing i didnt like, but ok...) when we finally got in, after showing our tickets to God-knows-how-many people we finally got in. first thing i thought: "the place is big, but its not as huge as they paint it". right at the entrance were more people from the organization selling Rock in Rio cameras (10¿) "Ahh... right, i see... people have to leave their cameras at home, then want to take pictures, one more way to get money, ok, lets have one" after that we started to walk around the place, there were mini-hospitals in each corner. first thing ive done was going right to the place where they were selling the official items, to get some souvenirs for me and my friends. 4 key-keepers and 1 pin (5¿ each). "Lets stop from here" i thought. tshirts were 25¿, but just to show off ive been there!? no way, thanks. then we had to change our money for tickets, 1 ¿ = 1 rock, so we could buy food and drinks (sandwish 3 rocks, water 1 rock, other drinks 2 rocks...) after that we went for a "little" walk around, i remember thinking its like a camping park, really nice and quiet... then started the teints and the mini shopping, there was a place to take pictures in front of the world stage, on another teint they were painting peoples hair pink, and making temporary tatoos lol then the better world teint, ive been 20 minutes or so there, someone i don't know who was playing but i liked it, the electronic teint was kinda open, just with very loud music and bars to sell beer all around it, thats near the shopping. there was another teint but i didnt see it... then we sat on the the floor, left side facing the stage... eating and drinking and waiting for the show, watching some guys flying over our heads... lol but of course after drinking alot, usually people need to go to the bathroom, and we're no different. the "bathrooms" were nothing more than dirty, disgusting sinks. or better - holes, with no flushing cistern... so we had to do it where other people have done it already... YACK!!!! thats the only thing that failed big time, i dont know what were in they're minds... in my opinion its one of the most important things, a clean bathroom!! i just remember thinking i had to wait other 5 or 6 hours to get home. thank god i had eaten before that, cause i could not eat after seeing something like that! well, we tried to forget it (and don't drink much more water) and sat again waiting for the show to begin... and i started to look around and seeing CAMERAS!! not rock in rio cameras, personal one! i could not believe!! i was completelly pissed off all night because of that!! 9.30h(the time it should have started), still nothing... i dont remember the right time, but after sometime we saw a big show of light and dance to open the concerts in the world stage. and after that, with a full massive crowd, paul maccartney entered the stage under the mainly 45 to 60 years old people delirium. 3 hours of show, more than 30 songs, an amazing performance - not much more to see. only beeing there you realize the greatness of the show.

he tried to speak portuguese lol and he did it very well actually, much better than the other members of the band that tried some words and i didnt understand a thing lol he also cried while singing a song dedicated to john lennon... some curiosites: he asked for 250 towels to his cabinet, it had to be full of roses and the stage had to be completelly in black.
at some time the whole stage was set on fire and at the end of the show there was a rain of confetis all over the crowd and fireworks above the stage. we tried to get out as soon as possible, and it was really easy there were LOTS of people walking the same way: the subway. all the way were people selling unofficial items, so i bought a tshirt (10¿) and a paul maccartney poster(2¿). when we finally got near the subway i chocked: an huge row of people and the police men at the entrance just letting in some people from time to time. i thought i would have to wait hours cause no one had tickets, they would have to buy them, it would take time, but they let everyone in, no one payed and it was better that way, not only because of the money...
i got home around 3am, tired from walking and dancing, but not exhausted as i thought i would be. it was nice, i'd like to repeat the experience, speacially 30th may and 4th june, but i know it wont happen so im happy just with this :)

oh, and the pictures, the 10¿ f*cking camera was ace!! the only ones that turned out ok was the ones taken at day light and the ones taken to the plasmas on the stage grrrrrrrrr

A nossa música

bem, nem sei por onde começar... ultimamente é mesmo só pimbalhada! e as poucas excepções também deixam muito a desejar. parece que neste pais só são mesmo reconhecidos os pimbas, esses sim aparecem nos programas de tv a toda a hora, para subir as audiências. ah!! outra coisa que se vende muito bem também em portugal, ou pelo menos é muito requesitada, é aquele tipo de música... de discoteca!... ok... sem comentários...

só mesmo o clássico rock para me encher as medidas!!

Pensamentux

acho que começo a sentir falta dos meus dias em que assistia a programas de tv! eram bem fixes, e agora quando ouço estes novos sucessos da nossa música portuguesa lol dá-me umas saudades que nem conto! mas agora também não existem programas nenhuns de jeito, senão vejamos:
nas manhãs temos: a Praça da Alegria, na rtp, no Porto (é quease impossivel, não me estou a ver a apanhar o combóio para ir para lá); o Sic 10 horas, na sic - este é perto, mas os convidados... minha nossa senhora!; e o Olá Portugal na tvi, que também é perto, mas alguém pelo amor de Deus me arranje um alinhamento como deve ser para aquele programa e dê uns calmantes ao Luis Goucha!
á tarde: o Portugal no coração na rtp, no porto também (no way!!!); o Ás duas por três na sic, também com o mesmo alinhamento do sic 10 horas, deixa muito a desejar; e na tvi, o A vida é bela, uma autêntica desgraça.
conclusão: deixaram de existir programas decentes em que podiamos assistir a um "mini-show" gratuitamente. obviamente a maior parte das vezes levavamos com um grandecissimo banho de pimbalhada, mas de vez em quando apanhávamos alguns grupos de qualidade, e de qualquer forma podiamos nos divertir.
o último que ainda se aproveita é o herman sic, mas ultimamente tem vindo a perder qualidades como os outros... os convidados internacionais estao a desaparecer a pouco e pouco, e os nacionais........ continuamos com o alex o fabuloso todas as semanas!!

Rock in Rio

EU VOU!!
weeeeeeeeeehoooooooo

poem 01

Title: ...

A Baby tomorrow should be called mistery
A Yesterday just another day of misery
B Lay down, close your eyes and cry
C Cause there's nothing left to dream
B No angel will teach me to fly
C Nothing's gonna be the way it seemed

D Look back - look what we've lost
E A dream that never came true
E A hope we could paint the sky a different blue
D Lies that are now what hurts the most

F Let your cry sing all night
G Like a prayer no one will ever attend
G Let your body obey your hearts demand
F Let the dark replace all the light

love love love hehehe

Se eu soubesse

¿¿Se eu soubesse que era a última vez que eu te veria, eu te pediria uma foto...¿¿

¿¿Se eu soubesse que todos os momentos que eu vivi com você me marcariam tanto assim, eu teria me preparado para nossa despedida...¿¿

¿¿Se eu soubesse que você iria embora naquele instante, eu teria te dado mais um abraço¿¿

¿¿Se eu soubesse quanto tempo nós vamos viver, eu faria de tudo para ficar todo o tempo possível ao seu lado...¿¿

¿¿Se eu soubesse que a vida nos foi dada para nós amarmos ao próximo como a nós mesmos, eu teria te amado mais do que eu te amei...¿¿

¿¿Se eu soubesse que o meu coração choraria sentindo a sua falta, eu teria feito ele chorar também quando você estava comigo...¿¿

¿¿Se eu soubesse o quanto é difícil ficar longe de uma pessoa, não pediria para aqueles que perderam alguém parar de chorar...¿¿

¿¿Se eu soubesse o quanto a vida é valiosa, não choraria por bobagens ou por tristezas feitas de fantasia...¿¿

¿¿Se eu soubesse que esse seria o nosso último beijo, eu faria dele o beijo mais amoroso de todos...¿¿

¿¿Se eu soubesse que o amor é o maior sentimento de todos, eu teria te dito mais de uma vez o quanto eu lhe amo...¿¿

¿¿Se eu soubesse que o que mais importa não são as palavras e sim os sentimentos, eu teria feito de meu olhar a palavra mais nobre e doce para ti...¿¿

¿¿Se eu soubesse que tudo ficaria escuro nesse momento dentro de mim, eu saberia o quanto vale a luz do sol e a luz do amor...¿¿

Enfim... Se eu soubesse de tudo isso, não choraria a saudade de quem se foi, mas que me marcou de alguma forma.... As pessoas que amamos e que nos deixaram sua marca são pessoas nobres dentro de nossa alma, seremos eternamente guiadas por ela, e pelas estrelas..... Chorar quando a pessoa parte, é fácil, difícil é saber o quanto ela foi importante enquanto estava ao seu lado.....

¿¿Se eu soubesse que te amaria assim, eu teria feito desse amor, um amor eterno e imortal...¿¿

u and i

I left my heart open to anyone to get in... you were the first and closed the door behind your back!

Poema

Para Atravessar Contigo o Deserto do Mundo

Para atravessar contigo o deserto do mundo
Para enfrentarmos juntos o terror da morte
Para ver a verdade para perder o medo
Ao lado dos teus passos caminhei

Por ti deixei meu reino meu segredo
Minha rápida noite meu silêncio
Minha pérola redonda e seu oriente
Meu espelho minha vida minha imagem
E abandonei os jardins do paraíso

Cá fora à luz sem véu do dia duro
Sem os espelhos vi que estava nua
E ao descampado se chamava tempo

Por isso com teus gestos me vestiste
E aprendi a viver em pleno vento

Sophia de Mello Breyner

My new love

Nostalgia

I remember so well when I was younger I spent hours in front of the tv watching my favourite anime series, and I would tape everything, I still have 100+ tapes. I wonder if they still work. lol
Anyways, one of this days I decided to search for my favourites, and I found this two:

Link: D'Artagnan and The Three Musketeers
Link: Ox Tales

Unfortunatly I didn't find more, but I love other tv series like "Tom Sawyer", "Puchi" and many other. Much better than the dragon ball's and pokémon's of this generation in my opinion.
