About me

Hello! My name is David I’m 21 years old and I’m from Lisbon. I’m a student of LLC, I’m enjoying it so far! So a little about me… hmm I don’t know, I like playing guitar although I’m still learning so it’s basically just noise. I like music, all kind of music, if it’s good music. My favourite band is Metallica, although I hate load reload and St. Anger albums! Don’t listen those ones. Hmm more things… I like languages, a lot, I really like to be able of expressing myself in various languages and communicate with people around the world.

The curious case of Benjamin Button

As a "Cineholic" I recommend you this movie! Believe me...it is worth the 5€ you pay to see it! I really loved it! After winning no award for the Goldon Globes, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button has now 13 nomenations to win an Oscar! It is an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's story, with Brad Pitt in the leading role -I think he deserves the Oscar. It's about a man who was born in New Orleans just after World War I and he was already in his eighties but proceeds to live his life aging in reverse and dies has a baby.
That's all I can tell!

AMAZING!!!!

Mother Nature - Breath taking!!!! Just watch it!!!!

Addictions: everybody has one...

What’s your favourite thing in the all world? The one you miss the most? The one that is always on your mind? The one you can’t live without? That one thing that you always have with you, that one you can’t start your day without...if your answers to all these questions are the same, than I have to tell what you probably already know (but can’t confess): YOU HAVE AN ADDICTION!!!
An addicted is someone who has something he/she can’t live without; like, for an example, you can be a coffee addicted, you can’t go through one day without drinking like 5 cups of coffee, if you stop doing anything else to drink coffee, if need coffee at every occasions of your day, than, I must say, YOU ARE DEPENDENT ON COFFEE! And who says coffee, can also say chocolate! There are many people out there that claim they can’t live without chocolate!!!
I guess I may be one of them...

Hi everyone!

I’m Bárbara and I’m a Translation student in Lisbon! I’m not actually from this city but I have to live here because of being in university! I came to this course because I like languages (and my favourite one is English!); I love reading, that’s my number one addiction, and my dream career is to became a writer! I’m a big fan of the Fantastic genre in Literature and also in Cinema, which is another big passion of mine! In this subject, I enjoy movies like Twilight, which is based on the book with the same name, by Stephenie Meyer, but I think that the book is much better than the movie...well, I had to say it! I also like movies such as Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Mission (that has the most AMAZING soundtrack) and Mamma Mia, a great and refreshing comedy!
I love listening to music; I like bands such as Paramore and the great Xutos e Pontapés, the ultimate Portuguese rock band; in their songs, it’s noticeable their love for music and also their social conscience about themes such as poverty, the homeless and the political situation of our country! (here’s a link, CHECK IT OUT!!!: http://www.xutos.pt/abertura.html )
I’m crazy about green (and also sort of mythical) landscapes...forests, rivers...I really enjoy going to Sintra, because of all that sort of magical atmosphere, all those trees and Palácio da Pena on the top of the village, like watching it...my love with the Fantastic, I guess...and that’s a few things about me...any questions, just send me a message!

Are you a mp3 player addict?

Can't leave the house without your mp3 player? do yo get mad or depressed when that happens? have you been warned several times by your teacher to press the off button? is you new 16 gb
i-Pod already filled? In that case, you should consider the chance of being a mp3 player addict.

mp3 addiction has turned out to be a world wide problem. Parents, by offering mp3 players to their kids at an early age, are part of the problem. And kids, always competing to see who has the lates i-pod, or to see who can hear the loudest sound, are also another factor for this problem. the consequences? when listening to too loud music for long periods of time, your hearing can be damaged. Most musicians need to get earplugs, because by being exposed to loud music every single day, can make them go deaf. Another consequence, but at a social level, is the fact that when listening to the mp3 player, a device made for one person only, the individual tends to drift apart from others. The result of this action? The lost of the social skills, and withouth the social factor in their life, people get depressed, paranoic and even get rage-control problems. All of these consequences put people's lives at risk.

How to deal with this condition? easy, just put the i-pod at a lower sound level, and when you're with your friends, just turn it off. If you find it hard, to follow this simple instructions, you should consider the option of consulting a counselor.
