- Britney Spears


Britney Spears is back - once more - with a number one song and is giving fans another glimpse of the video for the new tune; '3.' On her Website (photo was taken there), Britney revealed that the wait to see her new video is almost over. "1...2...3 days until the premier of my new video but don't stress, I will be sending out lots of pics and clips for the next 3 days," she wrote.

Earlier this month, Spears published the releasing of the video '3' by posting some behind the scenes photos from the video shoot, and I can guarantee, it worked.

I personally think that Britney is a great singer and even though she passed through some difficulties in life, she is strong enough to let it go and live her life. I am really happy with her come-back and certainly anxious to hear her future songs, such as '3'

- The Big Bang Theory

Today's post is about a great TV show called "The Big Bang Theory". The American sitcom was created in 2007 by Chuck Lorre (also the producer of "Two and a Half Men") and Bill Prady already won the best comedy series TCA (Television Critics Association) award. The program already counts with 3 seasons telling the story of "a woman who moves into an apartment next door to two brilliant but socially awkward physicits shows them how little they know about life outside of the laboratory" (IMDB). Personally, this is one of my favorites sitcoms ever ! The way Sheldon (one of the main characters) is totally disconnected of his social environment is absolutely hilarious ! The video above shows Sheldon after Howard gives him some of his mother's valium... It is, indeed, one of the most funny (and priceless) videos/episodes I have ever watched. Enjoy =)

- Rafinha Bastos

Changing the routine... Today's post is about one, GREAT, Brazilian comedian; Rafinha Bastos. For those who don't know him, just google him. I guarantee you, you won't regret it. Rafinha Bastos is known as a comedian (even though he studied journalism) for about 10 years, however, only last year he became famous. Through the Brazilian program, CQC (“Custe o Que Custar”), Rafinha Bastos was nationally recognized for his humor talent. Nowadays, besides working only in CQC, he has his own stand-up comedy show and has already participated in another famous comedy show called “Os Improváveis”.

I can assure that he is one of the bests (if not the one) comedians ever… His “trocadilhos” are just hilarious! For instance, in one of his presentations, which I was able (and luckily) to go, he jokes about the ceremony of marriage; “the saddest day in a man’s life is the one in which he is getting married… It is not coincidence that while the woman dresses white, he is in black… Also, the man is never fully satisfied; when he is single he wants to get married. When he is married he wants to die...” And so it goes...

If you speak or at least understand Portuguese, I strongly encourage you to watch the video above. Also, feel free to search in Youtube for more videos, there are plenty of them in which you can laugh until your stomach hurts. At least thats what happens to me...hahahaha. Hope you all enjoy it =)

- StumbleUpon



Today's post is actually a recommendation for all those who sometimes get really bored with the same old visited websites. The website StumbleUpon is, indeed, an excellent site to visit when you are searching for different news and posts. Divided into sections such as News, Arts, Photos, Videos, Lifestyle, Fun, Science, Technology and much more, StumbleUpon is one of my favorite sites. I first visited it when my friend Caroline wanted to show me... something that I can't quite remember. However, I must tell I got completely addicted. In StumbleUpon you can search for basically anything, places to travel, ice cube formats, extraordinary images and etc. I sincerely don't have a favorite category because I really can't choose only one. Posts such as the man who tries to pay his bill with a drawing, the unusual ice cube formats, facebook do's and don'ts and much (I mean, MUUUUUUCH) more are examples of how StumbleUpon is one of the best ways of spending time when you are totally bored while surfing on the internet. Enjoy =)
