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!!!

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.
