numa, POA e caramelooo

Returned from POA (Porto Alegre)today, Sunday. It was a whole busy 2 days trip, full of meetings, with doctors potencial customers and a half day training for the sistem in a clinic. I was programing this trip about a week ago. I entered in the website and bought the tickets a week ago returning on Saturday, but then the last moment there was an error after the payment was completed. At the moment I thought I should check it, but then the workload, etc, I forgot all about. Late at night hours before I go to the airport, something as a whisper in my ear made me check the confirmation nuymber. To my surprise could not find any clu about the flight, so called to the azul air and found out that the ticket was not issued and it stroke me back! Then after compring the solutions of abandoning the whole trip and buying an expensive ticket, I took the decision to come back on Sunday. The trip started with an incident that proved me once again how the universe conspires in our favor when we are conected to the life flow. I need to find someone to help me built a special case and mecanism, but did not know how. I made some contacts etc, but nothing concrete. Then when I entered in the boarding room in the airport, I noticed a guy, who proved later to be seating next to me in the plane. We talked and he was going to a furniture fair. Then it crossed my mind and ask what his company was producing, he told be it was Business to Business projects, for components of chairs and stuff. I then thought that this was nothing to do and kept quiet. Still the idea of sahring my problem kept on my mind. Definately my spiritual guides were whispering to my ears. So I asked what exactly he was doing in the company. He then told me that he is a project manager and developer of business solution for the clients, trying to adapt to the clients needs the products of the factories. Then I explained to him my problem and guess what, he is the solution to my problem. After 2 hours flight, we exchanged cards, and each one continued his way. Porto Alegre is a state capital, of a population in majority italian and german origin. The so called gauchos, are beautiful ones, and most women models are from Rio grande do sul state. It is the only state that gay marriege is legal, still could not say I noticed any special gay liberty or anything, but on, the other side did not look for it.
During the 2 days stay, I met several interesting persons, but the Saturday afternoon last meeting was highly beneficial for me. I learned a lot from a doctor that is a user of the sistem the last months.
Between other, he explained in simple words the so called caramelization of modern humans. This is a term he used actually. Think simple as this: take jelly (protein) and sugar and mix it is water of a 30C degrees slowly, what will happen at the end? It will turn into caramel... This is what happens to us too! We consume 30kg of sugar every year or more when in the past it was about 3kg per year! We are caramelizing our inner parts, that is what happens with diabetics, and this is why more and more diabetics appear in the world...
Anyway, in POA, I checekd the rua padre chagas, a very nice road, full of restaurants and bars, where it is full of nice fancy women. Also it was the anniversary of the city of 237 years, but did not feel like going to the open air festival activity, it can be depressing when you are alone...
Actually I tried to find what gay places are in POA, but there were few results in google. I tried to get in touch with someone gay though the gaydar (had not used this for years), but people are online but in chat, do not get it... Anyway nobody responded to my appeals, so I decided to check in the center a near to my hotel art and restaurant. It was a small place in the kind of sub-ground floor, where there was a theater of traditional mapets. By the way a favorite song that was stuck in my mind in my 20ies...

The best mupets show ever...
Anyway, the show had started when I showed up, and thought that I will not stay in an empty restaurant waiting for a show... so went on. The second cafe in my list did not exist, and then I decided to go ahead for the rua padre chagas where I hat a rodizion of delicius combination of sashimi and italian starters(how does this combnines do not ask).
Maybe the worst part of my stay was in the Lido hotel they have this old arconditionings, that after a certain moment, start to produce water drops, and the higher one was droping on the lower one, creating a unique orquesta reaching my room on the lower floors, at 3 o clock in the moring, keeping me awake!
Then I found out the impressive story of this gay hit.

I work too much, which keeps me not informed, but the whole thing is impressive, this fat guy turned the song a national hit in USA, and turned this gay trio band, famous there...
Actually their video is really nice but cannot copy it here, but can clck on the link to see it. As it is obvious is a clearly gay video. Now what impressed me is that this is a romanian band! And Romania is the most homophobic european country, at least to my experience I saw high prejudice fromt he local even young guys. Anyway, the song is silly but has dancing rythm...
Sunday, took back my flight witht he AZUL company, which is quite agressive in enetering the air territory market of Brazil. The best part is that they use Campinas my city as main airport, which makes it wonderfull. Cannot complain, they treat clients very nice, plenty of choice to eat, tv programs, smooth flights, no delays so far...it is approved.
On the way back met my new friend again, and we chat a lot, exchanging stories about life...It was pleasant. Arriving in the house a very bad smell welcomed me. Daniel took off the power fromt he freezer in order to iron roupes and forgot to put it back... all the food in side was unfrozen and stinky after 3 days of upsence... spent hours clearing the mess... By the way he is in Europe for a week...
Then just slept for the lost Lido hotel hours and a week end passed over...

In the mood of love

In the mood of love, one of my favorite movies, Had forgotten it and a blogger friend Alex reminded it to me. Tony Leung and Maggie Cheng are the best chinese actors and Wong kar wai a great director. The film is so poetic and emotional, with all these unexpressed love feelings, surpressed by both caracters...

I bought all Wong Kar wai´s movies in a collection in China. I was disappointed with the continuation, of this film, I think that in the Mood for love was his masterpiece and the music is simply fantastic...
Enjoy this material...

Economy crisis in the world

I was in Maimi for a 2 days technical training.
I was shocked from the effects of the crisis. I was in Maimi one year ago, cannot say I like the place, too american dream for my tastes. But USA is in deep troubles, this consuming society came to the dead end, the huge mega stores with big bargain deals, are closing one after the other, and what remains open is empty...
This is a normal consequence of the buble. How a country that transfered it´s production to a third country (China), that imports everything almost, increased every year the PIB? Not producing and consuming without limits, using credit (borrowing money to spent today from the future), is totally uncompatible with real development.
We all knew that this crisis would occur, the economy must have a real basis, nos speculations...
Now we will all suffer from this, until we find the right balance.
The extreme consuming model of the USA could not survive longer anymore... Westerners do not pay the real value of the products they consume. When you buy a chinese product, you know that this product was made by a 100% exploration of a chinese worker, who might not even received payment for his effort, you know that the production consitions do not respect he environmental conditions therefore poluted the production spot, maybe it has a % of a workers accident that will not be recompensated, the transfer incorporated does not include the polution of the air/sea, and the package plastic, that you throw away will polute further. And all this for a momentaneus pleasure of consumption...
Well, it is time for a change, we need to turn more consious consumers, consume from nearby production, choose labeled and certified products, recycle, etc. All our actions are coming back to us. This crisis is not anythng more than the effect of our own actions...

Macedonia issue and Berkley University

Hoje quero oferecer um assunto historico, que se tornou de um absurdo problema politico moderno. A existencia da "Macedonia" como um estado independente fora da Grecia moderna. O artigo está escrito por um profesor da universidade de Berkley e está baseado em fatos historicos, algo que debería ser investigado por cada um de nos que temos uma relação (muitos indireta)com Grecia para ter uma imagem clara e verdadeira da historia. Abaixo os link em espanhol e inglês

La existencia de "Macedonia" como un estado independiente fuera de las fronteras de Grecia moderna. El articulo está escrito por un profesor de la universidad de Berkeley y está basado en hechos historicos, algo que debería ser investigado por cada uno de nosotros que tenemos una relación (aunque muchos indirecta)que debería ser investifado por cada uno de nosotros que tenemos una relación (aunque muchos indirecta) con Grecia a fin de tener un imagen claro y verdadero de historia.

Past life memories, reencarnation

I also have mine, and I do not believe in reencarnation, I am convicted of it.
Anyway, this is an amazing case...



Back in the ´90ies I did my trip of confirmation of my memories... I discovered a story of the 2nd world war in a european city that even if it is one of the most important one, almost nobody knows, except from the people of that country...
remembering past lives is not important, or even it is better not to know, but I am sure that it can change your attitude towards life. Anyone that realizes that this is not the only life, looses fear of death, and start to value life itself.
I want to have a meaningfull life, every moment is important, and every person you treat bad or good, means you create a certain relationship that you will suffer or gain from the consequiences.
There is no paradise as the church wants people to believe, here is the your chance to improve and enter to a spíritual paradise once you become wise enough through experiences that you collect durign all your earth existance...

Old good times mousakas

The Attack of the giant Mousakas, (Η επίθεση του γιγαντιαίου μουσακά) the greek film form 1999, by Panos Koytras. I have seen the film many times, all this gang I personaly knew while in greece, reminded me of an old times, 10 years passed. The movie a total metafora, directe as a b movie. The vídeo bellow is with the actress Themis Bazaka as Evi Bei the reporter who does double duty between having sex in the toilet and reporting on the gory events of "the barbecue of terror." Mousakas is a nacional greek dish, extremelly difficult to cook, but you should try it once in your life. Anyway, an accident with aliens, results that an innocent piece of mousakas, turns into a huge monster walking around Athens, with terrified citizens, running for their life. Several caracters during the film, are dealing with the issue, until love wins... The film with special effects, had sucess in france, and Japan, as far as I know, and I am after a copy of the original...
The trailer of the movie...

Themis Bazaca´s reporter caracter is busy working, when she hears about the big story, or should I say the huge mousaka story


The aliens, worse than blondies... see why this all happened and experience the first attack of the oily mousakas...hahaha


I found also the next movie by panos. Totally different style. More serious, panos is dealing with a complex story. Watch one of the beautiful parts of the movie, inside the swimming pool.


Searching I found also this trailer, never seen the movie, full of famous actors in greece, the main part of the trailer is about a nervous guy, that admits he wants to have the gay experience...

but he more nervous cause he asked for the gay caracter to use the condom on himself.

Well, it has been a long time that did not see any film, but one that I do not want to miss is Milk...

Do not divorce us

USA, California.
Don't divorce us ! The Supreme court has issued a promise to have a final answer regarding gay marriage by June 5th,2009.
The campaign is emotional, I thought it should deserve a look at it...
I wonder what about the gay marriage in Tilos island summer 2008, what happened with this case?
Durante alguns meses o casamento homossexual foipermitido no Estado da California, mas com a aprovação da PROPOSAL 8 os casamentos foram suspensos e os que ja aconteceram correm o risco de ser cancelados. A campanha é muito emocional...

Very busy working, traveling all the time, do not get a chance to update on my interests... But happy in my life, things are getting very nice, expanding. Love life is great, it is so reliefing to have a relationship of trust and love, I do not remember how was life before...
I was reading a post of a fellow blogger that is suffering with the issue of infidelity. And I think to my self, am I too lucky? How did I manage to get this life? Seems so easy, looking back, but god I konw how many dificult choices, and high risks I had to take...
Well, I believe you make it happen, with your choices. Life is the result of our choices, god or bad, and it goes on...
