Meu muito obrigado em Português




É chegado o grande dia! Reconheço que estou mais feliz no meu retorno ao Brasil do quê na minha vinda para Trinidad e Tobago. Esse país maravilhoso foi muito proveitoso tanto para meu crescimento profissional quanto pessoal, isso porque família, amigos e nacionalidade são melhor entendidos e amados quando estamos longe das nossas raízes.

Quero agradecer em Português a todos que de uma forma ou de outra têm me ajudado na realização de mais um sonho, em especial a minha família, meus amigos e a todos os alunos que acreditaram nesse projeto. Próxima sexta-feira estarei chegando a minha pátria amada Brasil, que Deus abençoe a todos. Muito obrigado.

‘The Mystery of the Runaway Ghost’

             

I read my third book in English last week! When I was in Brazil, I had already read two books in English; one of them is the classic: ‘The Little Prince’. However, when one book is been reading in a native English country, the atmosphere helps a lot.

             


The book that I read was: ‘The Mystery of the Runaway Ghost’. It tells the story of four brothers who used to live alone in a boxcar. Now they have a home with their grandfather, and they are trying to catch a runaway ghost! When they visit their friend Fran, they can’t wait to hear her tell the story of the runaway ghost and about a treasure. The runaway ghost is a cow which was painted for a mysterious artist. No one knew that the picture of the cow had been painted by the most famous artist, so the painting was really valuable. After solving a riddle, they help Fran to sell the painting  and she solves her financial problems.


                This book was created by Gertrude Chandler Warner. Though  the book was developed to teen I enjoyed reading because its vocabulary is easy to be understood.

I ate cuscuz in Trinidad!



                Before I left Brazil, I thought that I would find the same corn flour that we use to make cuscuz in Trinidad. Unfortunately, this specifically kind of corn flour is found only in Brazil, so if I had found “cuscuz’s corn flour ”, I wouldn’t have had this food abstinence. Fortunately there is an “angel” called Candida who is studying with me in the English Course. Coincidently, she is from Pernambuco too. She had brought “fubá” to prepare cuscuz in Trinidad, so she did the kindness giving me one bag of this precious food!


             I couldn’t believe that I was making cuscuz in Trinidad, I was so happy that I forgot to take a picture of this fabulous moment. Even though I don’t have any picture to prove that I really ate cuscus, believe me: I did it!

About the film "My sister’s keeper" (2009)

                

                 
          The film is based on the novel “My sister’s Keeper”, by Jodi Picoult, played brilliantly by Cameron Diaz, Abigail Breslin and Sofia Vassiliera. Produced by Stephen Furst. This drama tells the story of Kate who suffers from leukemia. Her family in order to keep her life force the younger daughter who was conceived in vitro to donate a kidney to the sick sister. Tired of fighting for keeping her life, Kate made an arrangement with her sister that she no more wants to continue to make her sister mutilate her body to keep her life. As it was made in secret, Ana looked for a lawyer for her medical emancipation. Their mother will not accept that, and will try to force Ana to donate the kidney to her sister. An incredible mix of thoughts and feelings, this movie will make you think more about life. I recommend this film!

Hindu Temple




I had this fantastic opportunity to visit a Hindu Temple in Trinidad.


               One of the most marvelous things that I realized when I was visiting the Hindu Temple was the fact that we have different religious, cultures and races around the world. I couldn't imagine how dull the world would be without these differences. Though you have your own religion and your own thoughts, we need to give value about our differences between each other and respect them. Yesterday, I learned exactly that. 


                During my discovery at this Temple, I had met a kind man who explained something about the Hinduism, like: what those images were representing, what we need to do to follow the Hinduism, about the particular power of each gods, and what will happen with us after the death. 

            Nowadays I am not following any religion, I believe in God; however I don’t think that I will be a good person if I follow a specific religion. The Temple’s architecture is fantastic. My first impression about this structure was that it had been built 200 years ago. But to my surprise the Temple is only nine years old! Can you imagine that? They are really detailer and they preserve their architecture. 
        
       Do you know that people who follow the Hinduism are cremated after die? The elder told me about the importance in this ritual, he said “you need to give back all that you borrowed from the earth, if you are a good person and had been following god’s order, you will reincarnate on a new body, if not you will reincarnate on inferior kind of nature, like a dog”. I hope I am being a good guy, sometimes I bark like a dog, but being a dog would be terrible.
