We are the champions

After a long year watching all the games from my team, We are the champions. The emotion is absolutely incredible. Amazing, fantastic and marvelous... We are the champions!!!
Last December 2, we played our final game from Brasil's Cup. Like the game finished only after midnight, the exactly day was December 3. After a year going in absolutely almost all the games at home, I was there in the final game against our rival Santos. We had lost our game on road, and was necessary win the game and after that the penalties to be champions. And we did. Now, Palmeiras is champion from Brasil's Cup. We are the bigger nacional champions team in Brasil with 12 titles.
I have cheered all the time during this year and in this final of the year we were rewarded with a espetacular award.
Palmeiras lived a marvelous year, playing three championships, winning one, being second in other and finishing the third in the upper middle part of the rank. We have enjoyed a lot this year with a lot of parties and happiness within our new stadium. I hope that the next year may be so awesome like this year. A green 2016 for all of us!!!
Palmeiras, Champion from Brasil's Cup 2015! Palmeiras, the bigger national champion in Brasil!!! Some photos taken during this year within our stadium...

A green hug to you... See you...

Black Friday and the crisis in Brasil

I saw a lot of people talking about our Black Friday and all the things around it. In first place, we need to understand that this is a cultural thing in USA and totally different for us. In USA, they have the Thanksgiving (the most important date for them).
We are copying the Black Friday from there, like we have done with a lot of things more, but either we have the enterprises doing the right thing with promotions or other enterprises only making misleading strategies. Unfortunately, this second choice seems more common in our country.
We saw during these last days a lot of companies cheating the people. They declare a lot of discounts and cheaper prices but acting out with dishonesty.
A second thing that we need to consider is the economics crisis in our country. In this moment, neither the population nor the companies have good situation, and I think we may see this reflected in our business now. Then, we need more time to evaluate whether the Black Friday will be a good choice for all or not. In a country without crisis we'll evaluate better the real situation.
A good tip for you: Black Friday is a good date to buy books in English. Every year I have bought a lot of books.
Have a nice week.

Are we crazy?

The  government in the State of São Paulo is closing some schools. I don't understand. This is the kind of thing that doesn't make sense for me. We should open schools and not close them. Our children in Brasil need to be at school. This is the unique form to shift our reality. This week I watched on TV some people protesting within a school, because this school was closed by State government. The population is absolutely right. We need more schools in Brasil. We need more teachers. We need more opportunities. For that, the children need knowledge, education, formation and support from the society. Where the biggest part of these things will be achieved? At school. With good teachers, parents and colleagues. Sometimes seems like our leaders are absolutely crazy. The first better solution for the troubles in our nation is increase our educational system. We need to struggle for a new and good country. We need to fight for our rights. More schools less politics!

This is my daughter. Children need to learn, to play and have a good place for the development. See you next week. 

Acquainted with the time

Time flies... Nowadays this is the unique thing that I know on the time. I know that I can't control the time. Stop the clock won't work too. The unique thing that I can do is living the time. Like we may read within the Bible, there is a time for all the things under the sky. There are people that have concerned about the fact that time flies. I think that more important than to be worried about the time is to live all the time with strong intensity. If you think the time is running so fast, find out a form to do less things, because the time is a reflex about our swift lives. I think that we need more time enjoying ourselves and our realizations. If you work more than necessary, have been complaining unnecessarily about the time or spend time doing things without worth, maybe in the future you will be wistful with this lost time. Pay more attention in the good moments that you are ignoring now and stop thinking about the older age being nearby you. Time flies... But it's a good thing if you can appreciate the good times with attention and wisdom. Enjoy your time and see you soon.

An Ozzy Osbourne's book

Think in a crazy guy that did a lot of odd and insane things. Now, Imagine this guy giving good advices to the people. Is it haunt, is not? Yes. Definitely I had had a good surprise when I did read the Ozzy Osbourne's book called "Trust me, I'm Dr. Ozzy". I hadn't ever imagined that a guy that was addict of the drugs, alcohol drinks and bad habits like eat a bat on the stage, could give us some good advices like we find on. There are a lot within this book. Of course, he is not a doctor like the title claim. Neither he is a specialist in medicine. And the language he is using into the book isn't perfect, but something that we need confirm is that Ozzy can influence a lot of people. He is a public person. Giving ourselves a lot of good tips and advices is definitely something that I didn't expect. The biggest part of the book are the texts that he had written for the Rolling Stones's magazine with the fans' questions. An Ozzy Osbourne that can save some people from the darkness, from where he loves be called "The princess of darkness". Amazing contradiction. A wonderful week for all...

Two books:"If I stay" and "Where she went"

I'd like to recommend two sequencial books from Gayle Forman that likely will bring emotion for you. All the story is about the effects of the music in some lives. In the beginning of the story a tragedy happened with a car accident where an unique person from a family survived and lived a long time in coma. Beyond the fact of this accident that is very impactant, this story is about family, love, relationship, overcome the limits and of course, the miracles under the power of the music.
Sometimes when you are sad, tired and stressed, you can listen the musics and turn all these things. This is the power of the music: change moods, join two people and shift lives.
We human beings find out in the music several possibilities to take emotions and win the bad situations in our lives. The music is powerful and have authority to change lives, shift fates and do miracles. These are things that we figure out in these two marvelous books. "If I stay" is a book for you find out the power of the music and love, and the second "Where she went", you will discover the ways of the fate and the effects that music and love have on the human beings.
You will read only in few hours and nevermore will forget about this story. Welcome to the Gayle Forman's world. See you next week.

 

Daytona Beach

During the time we were in Orlando, we went to Daytona Beach. The city is located in the coast of the United States among Tampa Bay and Miami. The city is a small place nearby the beach with good buildings and a few options for eat and buy on the main avenue. The beach is a little common against our beaches in Brasil. In my point of the view, Brasil has better beaches than United States. Even the fact that Daytona has soft and white sand, that is a little uncommon in United States, our beaches in Brasil with trees and stunning landscape are better. On the other hand, Daytona Beach has more infrastructure than our beaches in Brasil, with free parking, showers, grillers for barbecue, toys for children and other resources. Like all the area, the sun was absolutely hot and the time there was marvelous. Meanwhile the water is cold for the Brazilians patterns. One and half hour from Orlando, Daytona is a good option to flee from the massive parks in Orlando. In fact, beaches aren't the strength of the United Stades but may be a good option to rest and appreciate a time with the family. Some photos...

See you next week.

The best park...

Today, let's go to talk about the best park in Orlando. Islands of Adventures is amazing. If you enjoy adventure and excitement, you need go there. Whether you don't enjoy this kind of thing, even so, this is an incredible place. The children can appreciate taking photos with Spiderman, American Captain, Popeye and others. Like the area is smaller, it's more easy find all the attractions. Seems that the attractions are nearby one another.
When you pass by the entrance of the park, you can see the fast and heavy roller coaster from "Incredible Hulk Coaster". During the time that you are pushed by the green man, you almost don't get breath. Nearby this insane option you can jump on a tower called "Fear Fall", that's not so tall. And if you want to be dizzy you can spin inner the "Storm Force Accelatron" from X-Men's. Other good option is "The amazing adventures of Spider-Man" where you ride into an amazing simulator.
If the idea is wet places, you have two good options. First a splash from Popeye called "Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges", and, second "Jurassic Park River Adventure" inside a boat with haunting dinosaurs. Children also has good options at this two spots. Talking about children, "The Cat in the Hat" is the marvelous land inside this park for the boys and girls. There are rides and play areas.
Who loves presentation will certainly enjoy "Poseidon's Fury" with explosions from water and fire.
The best from the park comes from Harry Potter with the castle and the other part of the Hogsmeade. (Remember that the other part is from Universal Studios Park, like we talk in the last post.) Islands of Adventure has four big attractions from Potter. First, a wonderful ride simulation through the Hogwarts on Potter's broom ("Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey"). Second, a family roller coaster called "Flight of the Hippogriff". Third, "Hogward Express" that takes you to Universal Studios Park, like I said the last post. And finally, the best attraction from Islands, the insane roller coaster with several loops called "Dragon Challenge" that you ride on two ferocious dragons.
My final point of view is: this is the best park in Orlando. I wish come back there soon. Some photos to you.

Take care and see you...!
