Dolce Vita Porto

O Porto passou a contar desde ontem dia 06 Maio com mais uma superfície comercial, desta vez de mais um grupo económico nortenho, o grupo Amorim.
O Dolce Vita Porto está inserido naquilo que vai ser a nova Cidade das Antas ou melhor a "Antas Lifestyle"
Tive o privilégio de ter sido uma das pessoas a estrear esta nova grande obra do Porto (e muito polémica aquando da sua construção) e fiquei fascinado. Posso dizer com toda a certeza que este é o shopping mais bonito que a cidade do Porto (e arredores) tem e com certeza, um dos mais bonitos do país.

O Dolce Vita em números:

129 Lojas distribuidas por 5 pisos
1 Hipermercado Continente
Cerca de 30 Restaurantes
7 Salas de Cinema Lusomundo, todas elas VIP
2200 Lugares para estacionar


O Dolce Vita em fotos:

Casa da Música (House of Music)

Finalmente a obra de referência da cidade do Porto vai ser inaugurada após um atraso de 4 anos na sua construção, mas valeu a pena porque vai ser com toda a pompa e circunstância.
Projectada por Rem Koolhas para ser a obra mais importante da Porto 2001, atrasos fizeram com que a mesma não fizesse parte da capital europeia da cultura.
Já votada pelo jornal "New York Times" como uma das grandes obras mais importantes do Séc XX/XXI.
Se quiserem ver a Casa da Música mais em detalhe vejam então o artigo online do "New York Times" aqui (tem audio em inglês)

Isto sim é que se chama de grande pássaro / This is in fact a big bird

Uma das minhas grandes paixões sempre foram os aviões. Como nasci na África do Sul, desde bébé que me habituei a andar de avião, desde o mais pequeno, até mesmo ao majestoso 747, mas o reinado deste está quase no fim. Eis que surge o A380...para mim, dos aviões mais lindos que existe. Pena que não o possamos ver em Portugal porque os aeroportos ainda não estão preparados para ele devido às suas dimensões.

One of my big passions is without doubt, planes. Because I was born in South Africa (and I live in Portugal), since very young I got used to travel by plane, from the smallest to the magestic 747 but her reign is almost ending. Here comes the A380...for me one of the most beautiful planes ever built. It's a pitty that we can't see them in Portugal becuase the portuguese airports are not yet prepared for birds that size.

A isto chamo eu de grande pássaro...

Papa João Paulo II / Pope John Paul II

Uma vez que estive ausente não pude prestar a minha devida homenagem a tempo.
Aqui vai...à memória de um grande homem que soube aproximar os jovens à igreja e soube respeitar raças, credos e religiões (não sendo eu católico, isto diz-me muito). Que a memória dele seja eterna e que viva agora na paz dos anjos que ele bem merece.

Because I wasn't at home these past two weeks I couldn't pay my respects to Pope John Paul II but today being the last day of the funeral I decided to write something.
He was a great man that knew how to approach the youth to the church and respected races, creeds and religions (not being catholic myself).
That his memory lives long and that he can rest now in the peace of the angels that he deserves it.

Frase da Semana / Quote of the Week

Pois é meus amigos e amigas, cá estou eu de volta após duas semanas de ausência (que me souberam bastante bem, devo confessar).

Hi my friends, here I am back in action after a 2 week period away from my hometown (it was very well worth it, I have to confess).

Aqui vai então a frase desta semana...

"A tua forma de estar na vida é nada mais que um reflexo do teu estado de alma."

Nothing Else Matters

Quando se gosta, nada mais importa mesmo
When we like someone...nothing else really matters...

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

V: The Second Generation

Como eu dei a conhecer num post anterior, a série de culto V que estreou em 1983 em todo o mundo, vai ter uma remake. Chama-se The Second Generation e encontra-se já em produção devendo estrear mais lá para o fim do ano. Os fãs desta série e adeptos deste tipo de ficção que aguardem que teremos mais da Diana e companhia já que o elenco creio que será basicamente o mesmo, isto apesar uma consulta exaustiva na net.

Synopsis:

"O telefilme de 3 horas será chamado de V A Segunda Geração e será realizado, escrito e produzido por Kenneth Johnson, o criador da série original. Johnson está em conversações com o elenco original da série, incluindo Marc Singer, Robert Englund, Jane Badler e Faye Grant para que voltem de novo ao telefilme. A segunda geração tem lugar 20 anos após a série original, com os extraterrestres tidos como senhores da Terra. A força extraterrestre está bem fixada e conseguiu que muitos humanos se tornassem seus seguidores e indo a caminho duma nova e perigosa conquista. A resistência continua a luta que parece perdida quando de repente a Terra ganha um poderoso e misterioso novo aliado."

As I told previously in a past post, the cult series V that was first broadcasted in 1983 worldwide, will have a remake. It's called V The Second Generation and is already in production maybe being broadcasted at the end of the year. The fans and followers of this type of fiction, keep waiting and we'll have more news of Diana and company, because I believe the cast will be mostly all of the one from the past series, after consulting the web searching for news.

Synopsis:

"The three-hour television movie will be called V: The Second Generation and will be directed, written and produced by Kenneth Johnson, the creator of the original. Johnson is in talks with the original stars of V, including Marc Singer, Robert Englund, Jane Badler and Faye Grant about returning for the film. The Second Generation is set 20 years after the original, with the alien Visitors firmly ensconced as masters of the Earth. The alien force is deeply entrenched, has turned many Earth people into followers and is sweeping them toward a dangerous new conquest. The Resistance seems to be fighting a losing battle when suddenly Earth gains a powerful and mysterious new ally."

V: A Batalha Final / V: The Original Series

Fiquei a saber hoje que uma das minhas séries favoritas ia ter um remake. Quem não se lembra daqueles aliens que se vestiam de vermelho, que tinham a voz disturcida e no seu interior eram repteis?
Pois é...vai haver um remake da mini série original, realizada em 1983. Quanto às 2 seguintes ainda n se sabe se vão ter direito a remake. Trata-se da V: Batalha Final e V: A Série.
Aguardo com expectativa para saber mais novidades sobre a mesma. Os novos actores e o enredo.
Quanto à antiga série...aguarda-se também que algum dos canais portugueses volte a transmitir a série que tanto sucesso teve mundo fora.
Fiquem atentos para novidades!

I discovered today that one of my favourite tv shows was going to have a remake. Who doesn't remember those red dressed aliens, with strange voice and lizard skin beneath the human form?
That's right...almost 25 years after it's first release, the original show (season 1 from 1983) is going to have a remake. As for the other 2, The Final Battle and the Tv series, nothing much has been told if there is going to be a remake or not.
I'm waiting to know more news about the show. The new actors and storyline.
Keep in touch!

What you're made of

Obrigado por me teres mandado este música. Puseste-me a ouvi-la o dia todo e a pensar na vida. É simplesmente linda. Mais uma vez...obrigado.

Just like I predicted, we're at the point of no return
We can go backwards, and no corners have been turned
I can't control it, if I sink or if I swim'
Cause I chose the water that I'm in
And it makes no difference who is right or wrong
I deserve much more than this'
Cause there's only one thing I want

If it's not what you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
You where willing but unable to give me anymore
There's no way,
You're changing,
Cause some things will just never be mine,Y
ou're in not love this time...
but it's alright.

I hear you talking, but your words don't mean a thing
I doubt you ever put your heart into anything
It's not much to ask for, to get back what I put in
But I chose the waters that I'm in
And it makes no difference who is right or wrongI
deserve much more than this'
Cause there's only one thing I want

If it's not what you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for

Only You

Todos me tem perguntado como eu ando, o porquê de andar muito calado. Aqui tem a resposta...
Apenas ando um pouco mais introspéctivo...

This is how I'm feeling this moment...

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

There's a song that's inside of my soul.
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold.
But you sing to me over and over and over again.

So, I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope.

Sing to me the song of the stars.
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again.
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again.

So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I know now, you're my only hope.

I give you my destiny.
I'm giving you all of me.
I want your symphony, singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs, I'm giving it back.

So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I pray, to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope.

hmmmmm, hmmmmm, oooooh.

A Boy Can Dream

This song is dedicated to you. I'm thinking of you...always...


Image hosted by Photobucket.com


When I was a child the story would say
Somebody would sweep you off your feet someday
That's what I hoped would happen with you
More than you could know
I wanted to tell you that my heart's in your hands
I prayed for the day that I would get the chance
Just when I worked up the courage to try
Much to my surprise
You had somebody else
Cause these feelings
I keep to myself

I may never get to hold you so tight
I may never get to kiss you good night
I may never get to look deep in your eyes
Or so it seems
I always will be wishing you were mine
I think about what could be all the time
All the happiness that I could find
Baby, a boy can dream

From the moment I wake up
Till I fall asleep
I imagine you not with him
But with me
Talking and laughing
Sharing our dreams
It's just a fantasy
Cause you had somebody else
Cause these feelings
I keep to myself

A boy can dream it's true
And to call you my own
Is the sweetest dream you know

Oh a boy can dream

Onde estás? / Where are You?

Hoje decidi sair um pouco do mundo da prosa e arriscar-me a fazer algo mais. Confesso que não tenho muito jeito mas ao menos não posso dizer que não tentei. Espero que gostem. Pelo menos foi feito com sentimento e tem um pouco a ver com o que sinto de momento. Depois dêem a vossa opinião, thanks.

Perdido no sonho
penso em ti...

Onde estás?

Procuro...
Procuro! Mas não encontro
Desejo...
e não te posso tocar
Imagino...
o teu cheiro, o teu tacto, o teu olhar.

Onde estás?

Sonho no dia
mesmo numa noite fria
que batas à porta
da minha alma já morta
nesta solidão que atormenta
apesar deste amor que me alimenta.

Onde estás?

Olha para mim...
neste horizonte sem fim.
Toca-me com a tua mão.
Sorri...
Com um brilho nos olhos
sinto...
és mesmo tu o dono do meu coração!
(by R... aka Capricornking)

Lost in my dreams

I think about you..

Where are you?

I'm searching..
Searching! But I can't find you
Desire you...
but I can't have you.
Imagine you...
your smell, your touch, your eyes

Where are you?
I dream of day
even on a cold night
that you nock on the door
of my already dead soul
in this solitude that torments me
although I have all this love that nourishes me

Where are you?

Look at me...
on this never ending horizon
touch me with your hand
smile...
with a glow in my eyes
I feel...
it's really you the owner of my heart!
(by R... Capricornking)
