THINK PINK:

02

A gente já começou o mês de outubro em uma vibe bem pink. Além de ser a cor desse mês e nós apoiarmos totalmente a campanha de conscientização contra o câncer de mama (tá todo mundo com os exames em dia?), nós também amamos essa cor e ela tem um espaço bem especial na nossa coleção Flutuar. Afinal, o rosa é muito versátil. Além de combinar com looks noturnos e com produções para o dia, essa cor também fica linda em qualquer tom de pele e cor de cabelo.

Seja em peças lisas ou em estampas inconfundíveis, essa cor deixou a nossa coleção mais colorida e vai colorir o seu verão.

I am back!

Faz muito tempo que não mexo no meu Blogger, mais devido alguns pedidos resolvi voltar!

Agora não só com uma cara completly America, mais algumas tentativas de virar uma blogger!! kkkkk

Be yourself!

"Pensamos muitas vezes que a atitude ideal é dar a vida por um sonho: nada mais errado que isso. Para atingir um sonho, precisamos conservar nossa vida, e, portanto é obrigatório saber como evitar aquilo que nos ameaça.

Quanto mais premeditarmos nossos passos, mais chances temos de errar – porque não estamos levando em consideração os outros, os ensinamentos da vida, a paixão, e a calma.

Quanto mais acharmos que temos o controle, mais estaremos distantes de controlar qualquer coisa. Uma ameaça não dá avisos, e uma reação rápida não pode ser programada como um passeio durante à tarde de domingo.

Portanto, se você quiser entrar em harmonia com o seu amor ou com o seu combate, aprenda a reagir rápido. Através da observação educada, não deixe que a sua suposta experiência de vida o transforme em uma máquina: use esta experiência para escutar sempre a “voz do coração”. Mesmo que não esteja de acordo com o que essa voz está dizendo, respeite-a e siga seus conselhos: ela sabe o melhor momento de agir, e o momento de evitar a ação."

 LANGUAGE BUT DIFFERENT

BY DAVID CRYSTAL

We use language to Express our thoughts, form of relationships with others, and built communities. The focus is always on the individual. If you study language you study people and people are different as chalk from cheese. So their language will be different too.

Sometimes it is regional background that makes the difference. If you hear someone say That is a bonny wee child, the speaker is probably from Scotland, because words as wee (little) and bonny (pretty) are hardly ever used anywhere else.

Often it is social background that makes the difference. In 1950s in Britain there was a lot of publicity about how upper-class (U) people used different words from those who used by other classes (non U). U speakers had luncheon (or lunch) in the middle of the day and dinner in the evening. Non-U speakers, had dinner in the middle of the day. Luncheon is rare today, but there is a still social divide between lunch and dinner.

Above all, these days, it is technology that makes the difference. The internet allows people to express their individuality in ways that are inconceivable few years ago. Emails vary from highly formal ( Dear Professor Crystal) to highly informal ( Yo, David!!). Older people often keep the rules of punctuation and capitalization they once learned, younger people often try out NEW WAYS ( I don’t think so- LOL).

BUT TIMES ARE CHANGING. AS MORE OLDER PEOPLE START USE THE NET, THEY ARE ALSO USING THE LATEST ABREVIATIONS MORE AND MORE. BRB ( be right back).

And you, do you really think that Rich people speak differently to poor people?

Thanksgiving Day in the United States is a holiday on the fourth Thursday of November. It precedes Black Friday.

What do people do?

Thanksgiving Day is traditionally a day for families and friends to get together for a special meal. The meal often includes a turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, pumpkin pie, and vegetables. Thanksgiving Day is a time for many people to give thanks for what they have.
Thanksgiving Day parades are held in some cities and towns on or around Thanksgiving Day. Some parades or festivities also mark the opening of the Christmas shopping season. Some people have a four-day weekend so it is a popular time for trips and to visit family and friends.

Public life:

Most government offices, businesses, schools and other organizations are closed on Thanksgiving Day. Many offices and businesses allow staff to have a four-day weekend so these offices and businesses are also closed on the Friday after Thanksgiving Day. Public transit systems do not usually operate on their regular timetables.
Thanksgiving Day it is one of the busiest periods for travel in the USA. This can cause congestion and overcrowding. Seasonal parades and busy football games can cause disruption to local traffic.

Background:

Thanksgiving Day has been an annual holiday in the United States since 1863. Not everyone sees Thanksgiving Day as a cause for celebration. Each year since 1970, a group of Native Americans and their supporters have staged a protest for a National Day of Mourning at Plymouth Rock in Plymouth, Massachusetts on Thanksgiving Day. American Indian Heritage Day is also observed at this time of the year.
There are claims that the first Thanksgiving Day was held in the city of El Paso, Texas in 1598. Another early event was held in 1619 in the Virginia Colony. Many people trace the origins of the modern Thanksgiving Day to the harvest celebration that the Pilgrims held in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621. However, their first true thanksgiving was in 1623, when they gave thanks for rain that ended a drought. These early thanksgivings took the form of a special church service, rather than a feast.
In the second half of the 1600s, thanksgivings after the harvest became more common and started to become annual events. However, it was celebrated on different days in different communities and in some places there were more than one thanksgiving each year. George Washington, the first president of the United States, proclaimed the first national Thanksgiving Day in 1789.

English is new!

 

 

The language continues to makes new daily in many countries. And the headline isn't stating the obvious.

 

Some interesting questions to explore about English language:

 

• What does it means exactly?
• Is it saying that everyone in the world speaks English?
• Is it saying, then, that every country in the world reconize English as an official language?
• What does it mean to say that a language is a global language?
• Why is English the language which is usually cited in this connetction?
• How did the situation arise?and it could change?
• Or is it the case that, once a language becomes a global language, is it there forever?

 

I really wanted to know all these answers, but it is a matter of fact that We as Portuguese speakers have a mix of feelings related to English.

 

You may be strongly motivated to learn it, because you know that will put you in touch with more people than any other language, but at the same time you know it will take you a great deal of effort to master it, and you may begrudge that effort. Having made a progress, you will feel pride in your achievement, and savour the communicative power you have at your disposal , but may none the less fell that your mother tongue speakers of English have unfair advantage over you.

 

And you how you feel about it ?
