Fighter...

"After all you put me through
You'd think I despise you
But in the end, I wanna thank you
'Cause you make me that much stronger

When I, thought I knew you
Thinking that you were true
I guess I, I couldn't trust
Called your bluff, time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were, there by my side
Always down for the ride
But your, joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out of shame

After all of the stealing and cheating
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter


Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Never saw it coming
All of your backstabbing
Just so you could cash in
On a good thing before I realized your game
I heard you're going round
Playing the victim now
But don't even begin
Feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave

After all of the fights and the lies
Yes you wanted to harm me but that won't work anymore
No more, oh no, it's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now
And never back down
So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter


Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust, so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretended not to see the truth
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
Through living in denial
But in the end you'll see
You won't stop me

I am a fighter and I
I ain't goin' stop
There is no turning back
I've had enough

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Thought I would forget
But I remember
So I remember
I'll remember

Thought I would forget
But I remember
So I remember
I'll remember

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter"

Christina Aguillera

Don´t get mad, get even!

"Enquanto gritas à tua mulher,
companheira ou namorada,
há um homem desejando sussurrar-lhe ao ouvido.
Enquanto a humilhas,
ofendes e insultas,
há um homem cortejando-a,
recordando-lhe de que é uma boa mulher.
Enquanto lhe bates,
há um homem desejando dar-lhe amor.
Enquanto a fazes chorar,
há um homem que lhe rouba sorrisos."

Inspiração de Alex Esteves

Reflexões

"Um dos factos mais constantes da vida é que ela muda. Nem sempre muda quando ou da forma que queremos, mas muda. E a minha vida, porque me considero uma pessoa abençoada, mudou para melhor. Não sei se é verdade, mas sei que é aquilo em que acredito e isso, para mim, é o suficiente."

In "O Dia Em Que Te Esqueci", de Margarida Rebelo Pinto

Páscoa 2010

Rumo a terras alentejanas,
Teixinha como destino,
muita criançada,
brincadeira e risadas.
Terras distantes,
gentes simples,
sol,
campo e descanso.
Escalada em Figueiró dos Vinhos,
Escusa e Port Roc.
Dias bem passados,
só correr é que não deu.
Chocolates com fartura,
jantaradas e família à mistura.
Já passou,
de volta a casa,
para o ano há mais.

There cames a time in our life
that we only regret the chances we didn´t take,
the relationships we were too scare to have had
and the decisions we waited too long to make.
By the time we get there,
we realize who really matters,
who never did
and who always will.
We finally understand the reason why
the people from our past
didn´t make it into our future.
In the end we only sorry for
taking so long realizing that life
is actually so simple
and happiness was inside waiting to be found.
So,
we must held our heads high,
open our hearts and start enjoying
every step of the way
that will leads to happiness.

"Poema Mulher

o poema
é como um corpo
de mulher

há-de ser suave,
leve, belo,
há-de possuir
pontos sensíveis,
em que um simples toque
o faça vibrar

há-de ser forte
e delicado
flexível
mas inquebrável

para alguns é impenetrável
para alguém especial,
é aberto, transparente, claro."

de Aníbal Albuquerque

And so it is...

This is a bleeding heart
and an exhausted tongue laying it out there,
dripping with brutal truth and honesty.
Sometimes,
the people you hold so dearly in this life are the ones that hurt you the most.
Life is to short to keep loved ones away,
too hold grudges,
too judge someone by their looks or age…
As humans we are interesting creatures,
we are the only ones with the capacity to love someone genuinely,
the willingness to put someone before ourselves,
and the commitment it takes to truly be with someone…
But sadly we also possess an innate propensity to
betray and hurt the people most important to us,
we turn off backs on our friends,
sometimes our own family,
even our lovers…
we say things we don’t mean
and we do things we don’t mean to do.
With so much going on at times,
it’s often hard to find the right way,
the right things to say,
the right way of doing things,
but the only thing we can do to get by is seize each and every day.
We can’t keep turning our backs on what we should truly cherish in this life,
because there truly is absolutely nothing worth regretting
and certainly nothing worth going over the deep end for.
Even when we find ourselves in hell
we must breathe,
we must take the time to let the dust settle
and we must accept the events that transpire.
HOLD STILL,
no matter how bad the sting,
how hard the fall or how severe the pain,
there’s always a way and reason to carry on
In this harsh world like today,
friends and family are all you have,
they are all you can count on!
CHERISH THEM!!!
