Meaning of The Portuguese Flag! =D~~

Explanation of the Portuguese flag:

• The five blue shields represents the five moor kings defeated by the first King of Portugal, D. Afonso Henriques, at the Battle of Ourique.
• The dots inside the blue shields represent the five wounds of Christ when crucified. Counting the dots and doubling those five in the center, there are thirty dots that represents the coins Judas received for having betrayed Christ.
• The seven castles represents the fortified cities D. Afonso Henriques conquered from the moors.
• The globe represents the world discovered by the Portuguese navigators in the fifteen and sixteenth centuries.
• The green strip is meant to symbolize the hope in the future and the red the blood of the nation’s heroes.

Family Guy ~ I dream of Jesus

Just thought I change my posts a little.
And add a video of the only show that can make me stare at the TV for hours:

"Lois: It seems today, that all you see, is violence in movies and sex on TV
Peter: But where all those good 'ol fashioned values
All: On which we used to rely?
Lucky there's a family guy
Lucky there's a man who, positively can do
All the things that make us
Stewie: Laugh and cry!
All: He's our family Guuuuuuy!"

A peaceful weekend in Kansas?

People usually don't appreciate little things.
(even things you don't have to pay for...)
Like... a smile! Or a mere: "Good Morning!"
Or a walk to the park...
A walk on the beach...
Listen to the waves just coming in... and breaking through...
The sunrise, the birds singing... [I miss home]
The stars, the sky, the clouds, the sun, the rain...
I could just stare at the sky forever sometimes... :)
Paddle boats!
I could stay here all day naming things.
"Stupid" little things!
Anyways, all this to say that we dragged each others out of the house and went and done something different and here is the proof:

[This is how my mornings look...]

[It attacked me! Because the flash was bothering it tried to jump on me!]

LOL... Me and my Madrinha could not get out of the park without hitting the paddle boats first... She had her foot under water every time she paddled. OMG it was so funny!
We also had a bunch of little kids attacking us, hitting their boats against ours! It was funny.

Drinking Dr.Pepper instead of water... IT WAS HOT outside! Should of wore shorts.

Couldn't help but grab the balls!
They have mini-golf at the park... [woot!]

*For Me?* [aww...]

She has a quiet peacefulness,
Gently touching those who wade in her presence.
A soothing voice,
Reaching out to an opened ear.
Violently she can rise to an impassioned fury,
Destructive; dangerous in her reach.
Screaming anger,
She yells out to beware her wrath.
Rolling toward, she offers herself willingly,
Pulling back, daring to take her on.
Fiercely she attacks all who stand their ground,
Leaving dismissively as if never having appeared.
Returning swiftly over and over again,
Gracefully departing with equal consistency.
She is home to countless who live within her love,
Embracing against her breast all that breath her life.
With total abandon she bombards years of perfectionist creation,
The slap of her hand eroding what has stood through time.
She is stubbornly independent,
Basking in a freedom that cannot be tamed.
She is hopelessly dependent,
Wilting at the whim of men, who contaminate her heart.
She is alive; beautiful.
She is withdrawn; ravaging.
She is a million built continuities,
An equally measured marked discrepancies.

She is all that.

~ Prince Charming, not... ~

The soothing voice that fills my ears

A laughter tender so
Every moment within his midst
Is all I need to know.

Finally re-felt his gentle touch

His body warm to hold
Kisses melting upon my lips
His beauty I behold.

He lays behind me & there is quite a "flow"...
In his arms he holds me tight...
His passion rises in basking glow.
My love I can’t deny.

With morning comes new realizations
Another evening’s past it seems
Even as loving as it was, with new aspirations...
Was just another of my dreams.

Now each life I cling with need
My lover I hope I find
As eyes grow heavy and thoughts grow dim
I seek him in my mind.

I've been dreaming for days,
Nearly or close to fall,
Prince Charming, If I may,
Isn't a Prince after all...

Charming, yes you are,
Manners are alack,
You're not worth wishing that star,
I always wait for you to be back?

And Prince, I'd like to tell you this,
At least once before I go,
I really LIKED U A LOT.
I've got no more cards to show.

Glass slipper ain't mine,
I am not asleep either,
I have two feet just fine.
So don't think I'm your Princess neither.

I won't be dreaming today,
Neither will I fall
He may or not be a Prince,
But He ain't mine after ALL.

[before getting in the tanning bed, should I do it?]

[after I got out of the tanning bed... ]

I just want to register my first time going tanning.
So this post is precisely about that!
I went tanning for the first time today.
I must admit I felt a bit scared and awkward laying on a bed to get color. (how lame)
I find it stupid since we have all summer to do outdoor activities and stuff but hey... who cares.
Body is just matter... if it rottens... oh GREAT! [it happens]!
I laid there... A lot of things were going through my mind,... to the point where I had the radio playing and if you asked me any of the songs that were playing I cannot tell you.
Thoughts going through my head:
- It's getting hot.
- It's getting hotter.
- It burns a little.
- Maybe I should try to open this back up just to make sure I am not stuck here (so I did..)
- Will I stay with the mark of these little stupid glasses on my face... ?
- Will this tell me when to get up?
- Will it get any hotter?
- Turn little glasses around so I don't get the mark of them on my nose...
- Do they say there's Regular, Maximum and whatever ... just to pretend all settings aren't the same?
- Oh, I feel it burning my skin now.
- Yup, it's frying...
- Why am I doing this again?
- What if I fall asleep?
- I am sure that are people that come here tired and they fall asleep...
- Wow, this is crazy.
- Let me try to open this back up just to check if it STILL opens... (so I did...)
- Let me check the timer...
- 3 Minutes...
- Time for one more song...
- Some lame country shit playing...
- I can't believe I'm doing this...
- Lights on the tanning bed go off...
- I get up... put clothes back on.
- OH SHIT... I LOOK LIKE A FUCKING LOBSTER! [picture above]
- 10 minutes, wow... this is crazy.
- Is this normal?
[Then I'm just tripping about it the whole way home!]

Life Happens...

You have to take the good with the bad,

smile with the sad,
love what you've got,
remember what you had,
always forgive,
but never forget,
learn from your mistakes,
but never regret,
people change,
things go wrong,
but always remember life goes on.
