- "Sonhar Acordado"

My post today is going to be about the event we had today, called Dia de Sonho. The "Sonhar Acordado" is an institution that, together with many volunteers, help many and many children to built up their future. So, today we went to the Hopi Hari park... We left Chapel around 9 in the morning, but I can't remember at what time we got there =/ Anyways, we needed to wait a couple of hours due to the distribution of kid (I know it sound weird, but there is no other way to
explain it hahaha), but we finally got to the line where each volunteer would receive a kid to take care of during the whole day. When it was my turn, I "received" an 8-year-old called Nicole, and she was really, really, really cute ! I couldn't wait to talk to her and take care of her... Luckily, her best friend Flávia wasgiven to Ana Carolina, and all of her friends were given to some of my friends, such as Caio, Carol, Malu and Marina... So we (us 12) decided that we would stick together as a group. We had loooooads of fun ! Especially when we were at the line waiting, where we danced, sang and did all these kind of stuff to entertain the kids ! We bought them food, we "died" their hair (and even ours...) with those colored sprays, we carried them, we gave them piggyback rides, and much more ! However, since the park wasn't closed for us, there were many other visitors and consequently, longer waiting lines... So we couldn't visit the whole park.. When it was 4 p.m., we had to go to the entrance, take photos, and say goodbye to our kids... Nicole was, again, really, really, really, really cute, and I wished I had more time to spend with her. We could all make really significant contact with our kids; I can surely say that we became friends with them. Finally, besides being exhausting sometimes, such as waiting HOURS at lines, running after the kids, we had a really good time and I can't wait to go again next year ! It is just an amazing experience that I will never forget =)

"aha, uhu, o Hopi Hari é nosso !"

To be honest, this week's post was actually going to be about another TMZ photo gallery... This, until I found something that totally freaked me out/almost made me sick. As some of you should know, the “pop star” (if she can be called one), Miley Cyrus made of her new music video a REALLY big deal (just as Gaga has made with Telephone) and it finally appeared on TV this week. When watching it, I didn’t know if I should laugh, I should cry, I should throw up or if I should break my computer. I personally hate Miley Cyrus since she started to hate the character that made her a celebrity; Hannah Montana. Not that I am obsessed or that I even like Hannah Montana, but I always agreed with the popular saying “don’t bite the hand that feeds you”. When Miley realized she was quite popular, she decided it was “time to change and to grow up because she was lot more mature and knew what she wanted for living”... COME ON ! She was only 16 and she was absolutely mature.. SUREEE ! Anyways, back to the video thing, besides having a terrible title, “I can’t be tamed” (I CAN’T BE TAMED!!!), and a horrifying singer, it also has awful lyrics such as “for those who don’t know me, I can get a bit crazy, have to get my way 24 hours a day. ‘Cause I’m hot like that, every guy everywhere just gives me mad attention like I’m under inspection, I always get the 10s ‘cause I’m built like that. (...) If you’re gonna be my man, undestand I can’t be tamed, I can’t be saved, I can’t be blamed, I can’t be changed, I can’t be tamed”. Now you got the point of throwing up. Also, Miley tried to act somehow like Lady Gaga... but it just doesn't work. NOT AT ALL. She just looks more ridiculous than she already is. Ah! By the way, the "story" behind it is that she is an unique BIRD (yes, she is TRYING, fail, to be a bird) that can't be tamed... LAME! It's just ridiculous and frustrating... Finally, for those who want, I ONLY recommend for those who want to laugh really hard, otherwise it will be a waste of time, to watch the video.. Here it goes, but I'm not sure if enjoy is quite an appropriate word...

- 'Memba Them?!


While searching on TMZ what I was going to write about, a very interesting section came across me. It is called "Memba Them?!" and it has many pictures of all those people we don't see anymore ! For example, do you remember little Jane Banks from the good and old "Marry Poppins"? Well, she is now a 52-year-old ! I personally found it amazing (beyond entertaining) and I was really glad they still give, at least a little bit, the recognition those people deserve... They tried their best to make our childhood fun,and nowadays, they are just put aside because producers only want "new faces". In addition, there are also some photos of celebrities who are still recognized today (Madonna, Fergie, and Queen Latifah), but I just put them because it is funny to compare who they were before and how they are now =) Finally, the last, but not least, photo is from Gleen McDuffie, the 91-year-old is the famous girl being kissed on the photo she is holding ! Amazing how people change right?! Well, enjoy !

- Hugh Hefner


Last week was Hugh Hefner's birthday, and the millionare just turned 84 years old ! Without losing his enthusiasm, Hefner threw a party in Las Vegas at the Palms Cassino Resort followed by "late-night good times at the Playboy Club" (E! Online). There is no need to say that his present, and former girlfriends, Crystal Harris, and Holly Madison, respectively, were there. The Playboy founder, and participant of the reality-show Girls Next Door, also known as Girls from the Playboy Mansion, really had a great time ! Details were not spoiled yet because, well... the party was just yesterday... But whenever it comes out, be sure I'll update you all =) In my opinion, the party must have been a great one, once it was filled with celebrities... In addition, I also believe that Hugh is one of the most influencial celebrities world wide, and I particularly love his character.

- MJ x Dr. Murray


Almost 10 months passed after Michael Jackson's death, and still, the case has no solution. The last accusation was that his doctor, Dr. Murray, had given MJ a lethal dose of Profopol, a drug Michael was already taking, consequently, causing the death of the idol. There is no need to say that most of MJ's fans, including myself, believe this what truly happened, however, there are those who still think MJ committed suicide. Some of these believers are, of course, Murray's lawyers. According to Perez Hilton, "sources say the defense plans to argue the fact that Dr. Murray only administered 25 mg of Propofol to MJ, but when he left the room to use the bathroom (for two minutes), Jackson self-injected the rest of the bottle (close to 20 ml) because he was 'frustrated'! The defense will also be arguing that MJ 'liked to push it' when it came to his sleeping meds". The date of the trial isn't set yet, but I personally can't wait to finally find out who killed the pop-star Michael Jackson.

- South Park

As all the 10th graders know, during English class we are reading J.D. Salinger's classic novel, The Catcher in the Rye. Sadly, the writer was found dead January 27th of this year... This tragedy besides being a loss to many people, was also an inspiration for a particular animated sitcom... South Park, is already known for its satirical and dark humor when criticizing something, or someone. In this particular episode, the students are assigned to read The Catcher in the Rye and are told by their teacher that many schools do not keep this book in their list due to its content and inappropriate language/scenes... This is enough to make Stan, Kyle, Eric and Kenny eager to read it. When they finally make through the book, they are in pure disappointment because the book lacks really inappropriate scenes and then, start to criticize, in their unique way, how stupid it is to banish this book... If you want to see the whole episode, in which they decide to write a really obscene book, go to South Park Studios =) Enjoy
