Whoopi Goldberg QUOTES

“The way I see it, you should live everyday like its your birthday”

I STAY IN LOVE

(CHORUS)
(refrão)
We've said "let go"
E sei que dissemos "deixa pra lá"
But I kept on hanging on
Mas eu continuei presa a isso
Inside I know it's over
Por dentro sei que acabou
You're really gone, it's killin' me
Você realmente se foi, está me matando
'Cause there ain't nothing that I can do
Porque não há nada que posso fazer
Baby, I stay in love with you
Querido, eu continuo apaixonada por você
And I keep on telling myself that you'll come back around
E continuo dizendo a mim mesma que você retornará
And I try to front like "oh well" each time you let me down
E eu tento enfrentar, com um "fazer o que?" cada vez que me decepcionava
See I can't get over you now, no matter what I do
Veja, eu não consigo esquecer você agora, não importa o que faça
But baby, baby, I stay in love with you
Mas querido, querido, eu continuo apaixonada por você

WHEN LOVE TAKES OVER

Its complicated, it always is

É complicado, sempre é
That’s just the way it goes

É assim que funciona
Feels like the way it is so long for this

Parece que a espera é sempre longa
I wonder if it shows

Me pergunto se é mesmo assim
And under water now i can breath

E sob a água, agora posso respirar
It never felt so good

Isso nunca foi tão bom
Cause i can feel it coming over me

E eu posso sentir isso vindo contra mim
I wouldn’t stop it if i could

E não pararei se puder
Chorus
When love takes over yeaaah

E quando o amor toma conta
You know you can’t deny

Você sabe que não pode impedir
When love takes over yeaaah

E quando o amor toma conta
‘Cause something’s here tonight

Há algo aqui essa noite
Give me a reason I gotta know

Me dê uma razão, eu preciso saber
Do you feel it too?

Você sente isso também?
Cant you see me here on overload

Você não consegue me ver aqui sozinho
And this time I blame you

E desta vez eu te culpo
Hmm looking out for you to hold my hand

Procurando você para segurar minha mão
It feels like I could fall

Sinto que posso cair
Now love me right, like I know you can

Agora me ame, como sei que consegue
We could lose it all

Nós podemos perder isso tudo
Chorus
When love takes over yeaaah
You know you can’t deny
When love takes over yeaaah
Cause something’s here tonight
(tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight ....)
I'll be loving all the time, it's true
Cause I want to make it right with you
When love takes over, when love takes over
When love takes over, when love takes over ...
Over, over, over ....
Chorus
When love takes over yeaaah
You know you can’t deny
When love takes over yeaaah
‘Cause something’s here tonight

BACKPACKING!!!

Jeff: Now the world is small and there's this type of people who are called backpackers, and you've been a backpacker, or you are a backpacker. What's a backpacker and what do you think of them?
Jonathan: I don't know if I'd go so far as to say I'm a backpacker. I actually have a bag that rolls on wheels, so I don't know if I fit that category. When I was younger, then I certainly did go around with the backpack and considered myself to be a little bit a part of that community. I wouldn't say I really would consider myself one anymore because a lot of people that I meet who consider themselves to be backpackers, they almost have a little bit of an unusual perception of what they are, and they think somehow they're different from say tourists, and I meet people who say these things, like, I'm not a tourist, I'm a traveler, or "I'm not a tourist, I'm a backpacker" in some way suggesting that they are above being a tourist in some way, but in the same hand, I'll meet people who are in some area like say Khao San Road in Bangkok, which is famous as being a backpacker street, and I meet people who stay there for two weeks and only talk to other backpackers, and they end up at the end of their holiday saying how much they love Thailand, whereas the realty was they never really went anywhere except perhaps a little bit to a temple or something.
Jeff: So, are backpackers boys and girls, old people and young people, Indians and Canadians? Is there any, like, are all backpackers Americans for example?
Jonathan: Oh, no, actually, I meet very few Americans when I travel surprisingly. It seems that certain nationalities have a greater predisposition to travel. I meet as many Canadians as I do Americans despite the population of the United States being ten times larger than that of Canada's. I meet a lot of New Zealander's, whereas their population is comparatively tiny, but they can come from any place. I've met backpackers from all kinds of different walks of life, different age groups, different nationalities, but you do find that the majority of them are young people. Perhaps they're taking a year off before or after college. Maybe they just want to see a little bit of the world before they know they're going to be rooted in one place because perhaps from their field of study they think that their future is going to be more or less planned out and they want to get a bit of travel in before they embark on their career.
Jeff: So you have a wheely case, and you're not really a backpacker so is it OK if I call you a wheely-packer?
Jonathan: I suppose you could call me that, but I'm not sure whether other people would know that term, and if you don't mind, I'm not going to refer to myself as a wheely-packer.
Jeff: OK. Good luck on your next trip.
Jonathan: Thank you.

Why does your dog do that?

Just like humans, animals have their own little behavioural quirks. But what are the reasons behind why your dog does the things they do? Here we explore some of the top behavioural traits that most dogs share.

Why does my dog like to ride in cars with his head out the window?

This is an unusual one. Most dogs will react unfavourably when a person blows in their face yet, for some reason, they find it perfectly acceptable to stick their head out the car window and into the wind. The fresh air inundating them with interesting new scents is what makes your dog want to ride with the windows down. But be careful; debris flying past could damage your dog’s eyes or face.

Why does my dog eat grass?

Dogs eat grass when they have an upset stomach or digestive system. Although usually carnivorous, eating grass alleviates this sick feeling. If you see them eating grass a lot, a trip to the vet may be in order.

Why does my dog go through the garbage?

They probably smelt something in there they want to investigate further. Dogs are curious animals and like to be at the forefront of the action; unfortunately this is why your garbage is now strewn everywhere! Make sure your bins are secure and that anything that could emit an odour is out of reach of your dog.

Why does my dog get dirty as soon as I’ve washed him?

Sorry to say but this one is a basic instinct and won’t be trained out easily. Dogs roll in the dirt in order to mask their scent and make them less susceptible to predators.

Why does my dog chew my shoes?

If your pooch is a puppy, it may be teething and needs something to chew on, like a human child. Or your dog could just want attention from you, even if it’s negative. Put your shoes in a secure place, buy your dog some actual chew toys and give them some more attention; maybe praising them for not chewing your shoes.

Why does your cat do that?

»
Why does your cat wash your hair or face? The first thing a kitten experiences, even before it can see, is its mother licking and washing. Grooming is a demonstration of love and caring. So, if your cat occasionally washes your hair or licks your face, he is showing you his acceptance and caring of you as a fellow feline.
»
Why does a cat "knead" or "make biscuits"? When a kitten is nursing, it typically kneads its paws against its mother, either as a sign of contentment or to encourage the milk flow. When the cat matures, it kneads to show its contentment and pleasure.
»
Why does a cat go to the visitor who doesn't like cats? When one cat is threatening another, it stares boldly, sometimes hisses, and frequently moves in toward the other cat. Usually, the person who doesn't like cats avoids looking at it, doesn't talk to it, and sits quietly, hoping to be ignored by the cat. The cat, therefore, sees the person's behavior as "cat-friendly" and practically inviting.
»
Why does your cat push its head against you? This is called "head butts". This is a cat's way of showing affection. Some cats will turn their head, and push it against a human (or another cat).
»
Why does a cat do a stiff-legged hop/touch against a human? That is the cat's body language of saying, "hey, hi there, how ya doin'?"

Madonna's quotes

“Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another.”

“A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That's why they don't get what they want.”

“Sometimes you have to be a bitch to get things done.”

“I'm tough, ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.”

“When I'm hungry, I eat. When I'm thirsty, I drink. When I feel like saying something, I say it.”

Get 30 minutes of exercise every day

Regular physical activity decreases the risk of death
from heart disease, lowers the risk of developing
diabetes, and is associated with a decreased risk of
colon cancer. It also helps prevent high blood pressure
and helps you lose weight and keep it off.

• Think of yourself as an active person.

• Make physical activity a part of your everyday routine.
Go for brisk walks. Ride a bike. Dance. Do chores
around the house and in the yard. Take the stairs
instead of the elevator. Rake leaves.

• Get 30 minutes of activity that makes you breathe
harder, on most or all days of the week. If you can’t be
active for 30 minutes all at once, get at least 10
minutes of endurance activity at a time.

Make the most of your commute

Use your commuting time to relax, feel good, and
make the transition from home to work and back.

• Listen to books on tape. You might listen to a novel,
language tapes, or an inspirational recording. Many
public libraries have audio books.

• Be a discriminating listener. Avoid radio shows that
make you feel annoyed and that waste your time.

• Spend some time in silence. Revisit your day, think
about what’s ahead, and spend time in your thoughts.

• If possible, commute with someone you like one or
two days a week.

• If you can, take public transportation. Use the time to
read and reflect on your day.
