I’m not the one to wear a lot of accessories at once. I like wearing one or two pieces that I really like and generally they outward my mood or a message I want to send to whoever sees me.
Accessories are pretty important to me (I realized that in a hard way since I can’t wear anything at the place I’m working at the moment!) and I’m more than happy to find places like Laços de Filó! Laços de Filó is an online store that sells handmade almost exclusive accessories. Everything there looks like a dream and I just want to have it all. I’ll post some of my favourites :)
Eu não sou de usar muitos acessórios ao mesmo tempo. Eu gosto de usar um ou dois que eu realmente goste e que reflita meu humor e a mensagem que eu quero passar.
Acessórios são muito importantes pra mim (eu descobri isso da pior maneira porque no lugar onde eu estou trabalhando não é permitido usar acessórios!) e eu fico mais que feliz de encontrar lugares como o Laços de Filó! Laços de Filó é uma loja online que vende acessórios quase exclusivos feitos à mão. Tudo que eles vendem lá parece um sonho e eu quero ter tudinho! Esses são alguns dos meus favoritos.
The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.

I have a huge love for dogs specially Golden Retrievers. They’re the best breed one could have in my opinion. They’re always happy for no reason, they’re insanely crazy for balls and water, they’re incredible companies, they’re so warm to sleep with, always want to play and always welcome a loving pet. Describing them like that doesn’t seem to make them very different from dogs in general. It’s hard to explain it you just gotta have one and get to look at their happy eyes everyday :)
They’re just too pretty to look at :D
if you get more than 30, get some counseling.
if you get more than 20, you’re paranoid.
if you get 11-20, you are normal.
if you get 10 or less, you’re fearless.

now re-post with:
“i’m afraid of 17 out of 62 common fears”
I always wanted to read that book even though I had no idea what it was about. I had a totally different idea of it before! I’m glad I did read it.
The Catcher in the Rye from the american writer J.D. Salinger is a modern classic even after almost six decades after being published and it’s one of the most selled in american history.
At age sixteen Holden Caulfield was expelled from school e decides to go back to his parents house in New York. He was released three days before school holidays begin and decided to stay in hotels, bars and at Central Park before going to his parents and getting the ranting.
The book is told in first person e surrounds the reveries and discoveries of a teenager on 1940′s.
Holden Caulfield is a rebeld teenager, hero and vilan at the same time who looks to find himself and ends up discovering a world full of selfish and fake people. During the time we spend with Caulfield we notice his dark humor, his capacity of criticizing every single thing and his tendency to lie as often as he can.
The only opinion the caracter knows for sure is his love for his younger sister (Phoebe) that shows to be a strong and decisive caracter in the story. The reveries lived by Caulfield show clearly the indecisiviness and pressure teenagers have to deal with.
The questionings of life brought by Holden are simple but hide the search for deeper answers and more complex matters. It is the famous teenager’s identity crisis I’d say.
The book does not have ups and downs since it contains no major events. The narrative is steady and a bit tiring because the character derives various other matters to an event he’s describing and both end up having no influence or importance in the story.
It’s worth reading to understand the dilemmas of the famous teenager character Holden Caulfield and meet the peculiar writing style considered a classic and was highlighted at its launch in 1951.
Want to hear something weird? The killer of John Lennon, Mark Chapman was reading The Catcher in the Rye in the time he was arrested. Lennon had autographed the book moments before being shot by the fan. WEIRD!
O Apanhador no Campo de Centeio do escritor americano J. D .Salinger é considerado um clássico moderno mesmo depois de quase seis décadas de publicado, sendo o livro um dos mais vendidos da história americana.
Aos dezesseis anos Holden Caulfield foi expulso da escola e decide voltar para a casa dos pais. Faltavam ainda 3 dias apara o término das aulas e com intenção de adiar o esporro que ganharia de seus pais quando soubessem da novidade Caulfield decide passar um tempo em hotéis, bares e no Central Park.
O livro é contado em primeira pessoa e conta os devaneios e as descobertas de um jovem adolescente na década de 40.
Holden Caulfield é um adolescente rebelde, herói e vilão ao mesmo tempo que procura descobrir a si mesmo e acaba topando com pessoas interesseiras e falsas. Durante o tempo que passamos com Caulfield podemos perceber seu humor negro, sua capacidade de criticar tudo e sua tendência em mentir sempre que possível.
A única opinião que o personagem traz com firmeza no livro é o fato de amar sua irmã mais nova (Phoebe) que se mostrou um personagem muito forte e decisivo na história. Os devaneios do personagem demonstram claramente a indecisão e a pressão vividas quando se é um adolescente. Os questionamentos de Caulfield sobre a vida são simples mas escondem a procura de respostas mais complexas e profundas. É a famosa crise de identidade eu diria.
O livro não possui altos e baixos já que não contem grandes acontecimentos. A narrativa é constante e um pouco cansativa pois o personagem deriva vários outros assuntos a partir de um acontecimento e ambos acabam não tendo nenhuma influência ou importância nos fatos relatados.
Vale a pena ler para conhecer os dilemas adolescentes do famoso personagem Holden Caulfield e por conhecer a escrita tão peculiar considerada um clássico da literatura e que ganhou destaque em seu lançamento em 1951.
Quer ouvir um fato esquisito? O assassino de Jonh Lennon, Mark Chapman estava lendo o Apanhador no Campo de Centeio no momento que foi preso. Lennon tinha autografado o livro momentos antes de ser baleado pelo seu fã. CREDO!

Is that $12 movie ticket worth it? Fflick tracks what your friends on Twitter say about movies and might help you decide whether or not spending your money and time on a watching it. If you follow lots of people like I do this might be twice as helpful.
The design is fabulous and everything is very neat! The tweets are organized by movies and you can see the percentage of acceptance of each movie and how many times people tweeted about it. That’s my page.
If you have a twitter account you already have a fflick account. Isn’t that great? Your account is http://fflick.com/your twitter username.
I think that page is going to be permanently open on my browser. I want a version of this for books? Anybody knows if there’s something similar?
If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.
