What goes around comes back around

Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man?
You know I gave you the world
You had me in the palm of your hand
So why your love went away

I just can't seem to understand
Thought it was me and you babe
Me and you until the end
But I guess I was wrong

Don't want to think about it
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way

Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fair?
Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?

Should've known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry
It's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find...

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were moving on now
And maybe I should do the same
Funny thing about that is

I was ready to give you my name
Thought it was me and you, babe
And now, it's all just a shame
And I guess I was wrong

Let me paint this picture for you, baby
You spend your nights alone
And he never comes home
And every time you call him
All you get's a busy tone
I heard you found out
That he's doing to you
What you did to me

Ain't that the way it goes
When you cheated girl
My heart bleeded girl
So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt

Just a classic case
A scenario
Tale as old as time
Girl you got what you deserved
And now you want somebody
To cure the lonely nights
You wish you had somebody
That could come and make it right
But girl I ain't somebody with a lot of sympathy

You'll see
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey

See?
You should've listened to me, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Because
(What goes around comes back around)

Bookcrossing

O Bookcrossing é um clube de livros global, que atravessa o tempo e o espaço.
É um grupo de leitura que não conhece limites geográficos.
Os seus membros gostam tanto de livros que não se importam de se separar deles, libertando-os, para que possam ser encontrados por outros.
O objectivo do Bookcrossing é transformar o mundo inteiro numa biblioteca.

Os três "Erres" do Bookcrossing
Read - Lê um bom livro
Register - Regista-o. Cria um diário para esse livro, dá-lhe um número de identificação(BCID) e cola-lhe uma etiqueta
Release - Liberta-o para que outra pessoa o possa ler (entrega-o a um amigo, deixa-o num banco do jardim, esquece-te dele num café) e recebe uma notificação por email cada vez que alguém encontra o livro e escreve uma mensagem no seu diário.

Parece fácil, certo? Pois é! É também um exercício fascinante sobre o destino, karma. E além disso é totalmente grátis e privado.

Por isso tira um ou dois livros da tuas prateleiras (não estão lá a fazer nada pois não? Apenas a ganhar poeira), regista-os em http://www.bookcrossing-portugal.com e depois oferece-os ou deixa-os onde podem ser encontrados por alguém.

Where did your fantasy stopped?

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff,
and brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff.

Oh Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name.

Oh Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave.

Oh Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

New beginning...

Time to face what you are hiding from
Don't have to do this on your own
Together we are strong
We don't need anyone
No matter what they say the time has come

I'm ready now to start a new beginning
With all our hopes and all our dreams
And I know the stars will shine for you and for me
From the moment you believe

I know they think that I'm no good for you
But we both know that they're wrong
Together we can fight
Show everyone we're right
I don't care what they say our time has come

When you believe there's nothing you can't overcome
When you believe the earth is brighter than the sun
I believe

Big girls don't cry

The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself and center, clarityPeace, Serenity

The path that I'm walkingI must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown,
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my Valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too

We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry

Ditado chinês

Até aos 30 anos és a cara q Deus te deu
a partir dos 30 és tu próprio.

Diz-se que por volta dessa idade há uma crise. Mas crise não é sinónimo de algo negativo, antes pelo contrário. Nós só vemos isso negativo porque estamos enraizados na nossa forma que não vemos o conteúdo, não percebemos o que realmente é nosso e o que é de nossos pais, familiares, amigos.

E a crise é mesmo isso, é perceber que este padrão não me serve mais, é como se fosse uma peça de roupa que deixou de servir e ou tu olhas para o q te está a causar atrito ou o q te causa atrito olha para ti. Não há como fugir a isso

Ou maomé vai à montanha ou a montanha vai a maomé.

Little wonders

Let it go,
let it roll right off your shoulder
don’t you know the hardest part is over?

Let it in,
let your clarity define you
in the end we will only just remember how it feels

Our lives are made in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain

Let it slide,
let your troubles fall behind you
let it shine until you feel it all around you
and I don’t mind if it’s me you need to turn to we’ll get by,
it’s the heart that really matters in the end

Our lives are made in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain

All of my regret will wash away some how
but I can not forget the way I feel right now

In these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away
but these small hours
these small hours, still remain, still remain
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away
but these small hours
these little wonders still remain

Would you?

We'll do it all, everything on our own
We don't need anything or anyone.
I don't quite know how to say how I feel
Those three words are said too much
They're not enough
Forget what we're told before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time chasing cars around our heads
I need your grace to remind me to find my own
All that I am all that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

o ir abaixo é o mais fácil

Devido a uma coisa que se chama força da gravidade. O desafio está em manter-nos lá em cima, a flutuar.

You Were Meant For Me

I hear the clock, it's six a.m.
I feel so far from where I've been
I got my eggs and my pancakes too
I got maple syrup, everything but you.
I break the yolks, make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots off the mirror
Don't leave the keys in the door
Never put wet towels on the floor anymore' cause

Dreams last for so long
even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.

I called my momma, she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee but didn't wanna talk
So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news
More hearts being broken. people being used
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same
'Cause it was happy or I was sad
And it made me miss you oh so bad 'cause

Dreams last for so long
Even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.

I go about my business, I'm doin' fine
Besides what would I say if I had you on the line
Same old story, not much to say
Hearts are broken, everyday.

I brush my teeth and put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
I pick a book up and turn the sheets down.
And take a deep breath and a good look around
Put on my pjs and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll be all right
I shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause

Dreams last for so long
Even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon I know you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you

Yeah.... You were meant for me and I was meant for you.

Window in the skies

The shackles are undone
The bullets quit the gun
The heat thats in the sun
Will keep us when there's none

The rule has been disproved
The stone has been moved
The grain is now a groove
All debts are removed

Oh can't you see what our love has done
What it's doing to me

Love makes strange enemies
Makes love when love may please
Soul in a strip tease
Hate brought to its knees

Sky over our head
Can reach it from our bed
If you let me in your heart
And out of my head

Please don't ever let me out of here
I've got no shame

Oh I know I hurt you and I made you cry
Did everything but murder you and I
But love left a window in the skies
And to love I rhapsodize

Oh can't you see what love has done to every broken heart
Oh can't you see what love has done for every heart that cries
Love left a window in the skies
And to love I rhapsodize

adeus!

Dizer Adeus é difícil Pois com ele matamos a única forma de sobreviver, Que é dizendo Adeus a todos os nossos sonhos. Dizer Adeus é difícil Pois é quando acreditamos Que não existe mais nenhuma alternativa. Dizer Adeus é difícil Pois vemos desmoronar a esperança De tudo voltar ao que era... Dizer Adeus é difícil Pois só aí temos a certeza Que o real e o sonho, se uniram E chegaram ao fim... Mas dizer Adeus é tão difícil Que não consigo dizê-lo !! Ou não quero dizê-lo? ... Não sei ... Por isso estou aqui a escrever Para não ter que dizer ... ADEUS !!!

On a day like this...

Com que então Plutão...

...o tal planeta anão

You Are From Pluto

You are a dark, mysterious soul, full of magic and the secrets of the universe. You can get the scoop on anything, but you keep your own secrets locked in your heart. You love change and you use it to your advantage, whether by choice or chance. You don't like to compromise, to the point of being self-destructive with your stubborness. Live life with love, and your deep powers will open the world to you.

What Planet Are You From?

Não basta...

...dizer que está tudo perdoado, que está tudo esquecido, se não se der um clique interno, se não sentirmos isso dentro. Caso contrário não avançamos, travamos o percurso, abrandamos a busca.

Rose and Air

Como te sentes hoje?

Hoje sinto-me...

Nem carne nem peixe, um ovo estrelado estatelado no chão.
E ainda por cima vêm molhar as batatinhas fritas.

há dias em q me sinto cor de burro quando foge, hoje é um desses dias.

Empate fora...

... nada mau mesmo.
Só eu sei porque não fico em casa!

Lista de coisas para fazer

Ontem ia a passar pela papelaria fernandes e resolvi entrar.
E encontrei um bloquinho para escrever a lista das coisas a fazer em determinado dia.
Fiz logo a lista para hoje, mas para ter a certeza que ia fazer mais de 50% do que me propunha, resolvi acrescentar coisas bem mais interessantes que reuniões e telefonemas de negócios.
Eis um exemplo de uma lista de coisas para fazer bem mais divertida!

E o resumo do dia é bem mais positivo do que se fosse só trabalho ;)

Aviõezinhos de papel

Pois é!
Hoje é dia de brincar com aviõezinhos de papel, pelo menos é o que diz o meu horóscopo.
É melhor aproveitar, porque parece que amanhã o sol não vai brilhar tão radiante.

Convite: Espectáculo Medieval

An irish blessing

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm up on your face,
the rains fall soft up on your fields.

And, until we meet again, may God
hold you in the palm of His hand

PS: To JB's father

Obrigada!

Depois de um dia para esquecer, um motivo para celebrar!
Simplesmente fantástico!
O leão mostra as garras.

à beira de um ataque de nervos

O melhor é olhar para cima

Regressando de férias

 

Mais um momento Nicola

Sabia que...

E tu? Do que é que estás à espera?

The Lake House

I'm very sure, this never happened to me before
I met you and now I'm sure
This never happened before

Now I see, this is the way it's supposed to be
I met you and now I see
This is the way it should be

This is the way it should be, for lovers
They shouldn't go it alone
It's not so good when you’re on your own



So come to me, now we can be what we want to be
I love you and now I see
This is the way it should be

This is the way it should be, for lovers
They shouldn't go it alone
It's not so good when you're on your own

I'm very sure, this never happened to me before
I met you and now I'm sure
This never happened before

Last kiss

Give me one last kiss
Love me one more time
Give me the last embrace
Give me another kiss

Give me your shining eyes
Love me one more time
Give me your trembling hands
Give me your lips again

And please sorry
Kiss me
Kiss me again
And please love me
Touch me
Touch me again and again

Give me a faint smile
Love me one more time
Give me a second life
Give me another kiss

Give me the rising sun
Love me one more time
Give me your fairy grace
Kiss me and kiss me again

Ashram

Los castillos

Los castillos se quedaran solos,

sin princesas ni caballeros.

Solos a la orilla de un río,

vestidos de musgo y silencio.

Ciegas sueñan las armaduras

el más inútil de los sueños.

Reposan de largas batallas,

se miran en libros de cuentos.

Los dragones y las alimañas

no los defendieron del tempo.

Los castillos están solos,

muy tristes de sombras e misterios.

De volta...

da magnífica Cornualha e da fantástica Avebury.
Ainda estou para perceber que energia é essa que existe nesse centro geográfico que é o Stonehenge, para me chamar constantemente lá. É que dia sim, dia não, lá estávamos nós a passar pelo Círculo de Pedras.
O solestício de Verão foi lindo (tirando a chuva, claro! derivado de um pequeno desentendimento com o S. Pedro que achou que a água purifica a alma, com alguma razão evidentemente).

E uma estranha ligação a canadianos e australianos. Estão por todo o lado e proporcionaram-nos momentos inesquecíveis.

Catarina em fuga em...

What's your destiny?

Catarina, your destiny is to be a Provider

Whether you know it or not, this is the role that is most in tune with who you are at your core. As a Provider, you have a genuine nurturing concern for the welfare of others and you're eager to serve them. You can recognize exactly what people need and your friendly, helpful, social nature makes them feel comforted. With your kind and generous heart, you are personable, talkative, and outward with your emotions, and your openness and sensitivity makes you concerned about the way others view you. Along these lines, be careful not to blame yourself when things go wrong. You cannot prevent bad things from happening, even though your tendency to be orderly with a strong sense of right and wrong may lead you to believe you can. Accept that you do what you can to take care of things and that this will get you far in the world.

Aqui estou eu...

... em contagem decrescente para esta fuga magnífica.

Your Soul Number is ONE

You are a strong, self-reliant individual who is willing to stand apart from the crowd and act according to your own beliefs and convictions. You have a deep inner sense of authority and of your own power, and you prefer to either work alone or to be in charge, directing and leading others. You have a dominant nature and greatly influence others, even without trying to. Self-sufficient and independent, you are not easily swayed from the path you set for yourself. However, you tend to be proud and unwilling to ask for help when you need it. You also become so involved with carrying out your own will and desires that you neglect to consider others' needs. Your inability to cooperate and compromise, and your tendency to be subtly domineering may cause trouble in close relationships. Also, you have trouble accepting any authority and can be rebellious when challenged. Your gifts are originality of thought, the courage to be different and take risks, and a deep core of inner strength.

Inner voice

Know what you know
Feel what you feel
Desire what you desire
Listen the small still voice in you
and you may bring blessing to the troubled, the sad, the lonely.
You will be LIGHT.
You will be LOVE.

Confiança

Como fazer sair o que há de melhor nos outros?
Demonstrando confiança neles. Por exemplo, reparamos que alguém não está a lidar connosco de forma honesta: essa pessoa sorri e felicita-nos, mas critica-nos injustamente nas nossas costas. Para resolver este problema de uma forma harmoniosa, temos de continuar a mostrar que confiamos nessa pessoa, como se de nada suspeitássemos. Mesmo quando dissimulada, a confiança pode ter muitos efeitos benéficos.
Podemos dizer que isto é deturpar um acto, mas isso depende do que é que nós chamamos um acto. Para mim isto é "educação". É uma questão de nos dirigirmos à parte mais nobre da pessoa, desconhecida para ela própria, e conduzi-la a uma consciência das suas responsabilidades e deveres. Isto não se trata de lhe mentir, de a trair ou fazer-lhe mal; pelo contrário, é apenas uma questão de ajudar a acordar a sua verdadeira natureza, dando-lhe as condições em que isso se pode manifestar. Não é deturpar um acto. No entanto, para se conseguir isto, é necessário trabalhar sobre nós mesmos durante um longo período de tempo; é necessário aprender auto-controle a fim de não nos permitirmos cair nas reacções instintivas da raiva, retaliação e orgulho ferido.

Há dias em que...

só me apetece estar assim. A olhar pela janela e a contemplar o mundo, como se da primeira vez se tratasse. Hoje é um desses dias. Mas a vista daqui não é tão espectacular como esta. Não há mar, apesar de haver azul, mas é dos azulejos do prédio em frente.
Há uns tempos atrás vi um filme (não me recordo o nome) em que o protagonista andava sempre com uma fotografia de uma praia deserta para que, sempre que estivesse em entrar em ponto de ebulição com as partidas diárias que a vida lhe pregava, pudesse respirar fundo e viajar até essa praia deserta.
Portanto aqui estou eu a fazer a minha fuga diária, a olhar pela janela. E para sempre aqui estarei. Independentemente de tudo o que as outras Catarinas que eu também sou estejam a fazer, a Catarina sonhadora vai continuar a olhar pela janela e a descobrir as maravilhas do que é viver.

Este bem pode ser...

FIRST DAY OF MY LIFE (Melanie C)

Video Code provided by VideoCodeZone.Com

So I found a reason to stay alive
Try a little harder see the other side
Talking to myself
Too many sleepless nights
Trying to find a meaning to this stupid life
I don’t want your sympathy
Sometimes I don’t know who to be

Hey what you looking for
No one has the answer
They just want more
Hey who’s gonna make it right
This could be the first
Day of my life

So I found a reason
To let it go
Tell you that I’m smiling
But I still need to grow
Will I find salvation in the arms of love
Will it stop me searching
Will it be enough

I don’t want your sympathy
Sometimes I don’t know who to be

Hey what you looking for
No one has the answer but you just want more
Hey who’s gonna make it right
This could be the first day of my life

The first time to really feel alive
The first time to break the chain
The first time to walk away from pain

Hey what you looking for
No one has the answer we just want more
Hey who’s gonna make it right
This could be the first day of your life
Hey what you looking for
No one has the answer they just want more

Hey who’s gonna shine alight?
This could be the first day of my life

O Público apresenta no seu site

Esta semana é um de Luis de Camões, muito conhecido.

Aquela triste e leda madrugada
Aquela triste e leda madrugada,
Cheia toda de mágoa e de piadade,
Enquanto houver no mundo saudade
Quero que seja sempre celebrada.

Ela só, quando amena e marchetada
Saía, dando ao mundo claridade,
Viu apartar-se de uma outra vontade,
Que nunca poderá ver-se apartada.

Ela só viu as lágrimas em fio.
Que de uns e de outros olhos derivadas,
Se acrescentaram em grande e largo rio.

Ela ouviu as palavras magoadas
Que puderam tomar o fogo frio
E dar descanso às almas condenadas. 

Rainy day

Hmm, chocolate quente! Era mesmo o que me apetecia... 

Não sei... se a vida é curta...

Não sei...
Não sei...
se a vida é curta ou longa demais para nós.
Mas sei que nada do que vivemos tem sentido, se não tocarmos o coração das pessoas.

Muitas vezes basta ser:
colo que acolhe,
braço que envolve,
palavra que conforta,
silêncio que respeita,
alegria que contagia,
lágrima que corre,
olhar que sacia,
amor que promove.

E isso não é coisa de outro mundo: é o que dá sentido à vida.

É o que faz com que ela não seja nem curta, nem longa demais, mas que seja intensa, verdadeira e pura...
enquanto durar.
