Our International British!

Hi everyone!

As you can see, our British Council is very international. Once again I took a photo of it. This time in Malaysia – Kuala Lumpur.

It’s impossible for me to forget the British Council even when I’m on Holiday!!

For those who go to do the FCE Speaking on Sunday 7th June, I wish good luck or – better – “break a leg”!

See you Sunday or Monday!

Would you consider wearing a especif uniform for no more than 4 kind of activities till the rest of your life?

Uniforms are very common among Organizations of many kinds, it’s no more than a standard clothing, it helps within the recognition of specific brands and developing a standard corporate image, even when considering questions like racism, for instance, in scouting is used to cover the differences of country and race, making all feel that they are members one with another of one Brotherhood.

Taking the information above into consideration don´t you think that it works just like fashion?

After all, doesn´t everyone’s image in the eyes of everyone else is created after an X Ray of each individual outfit/sense of fashion?

And did you know that the first service uniform registered with the US Patent and trademark office was the Playboy bunny outfit? Isn’t it bizarre?

Family

Hello!
Last Tuesday, the April 28th, was my daughter birthday. Margarida is now two years old.
A few years ago my mother and my brother were my close family but now there are also my little daughter and my wife, not forgetting “enemies” family!
A first child transform a family. Sons became fathers, parents became grand-parents and brothers became uncles!

What about your family? Is it growing?

Natural disasters

Hi everyone,

Sorry again for the delay but I can’t avoid!

As you may all have seen on the evening news, Italy is suffering from natural disasters. Firstly, an earthquake that destroyed lots of buildings and house and made lots of homeless and now the bad weather, with very low temperatures and rain, that is making homeless life very difficult.
My question for this weekend post is: Have you ever experienced such natural disasters like these? Have you ever lived such a terrible situation?

Are you afraid of storms, snow, lightning bolt or even earthquake?

For instance, when I’m home and there is a storm, I like to watch the lightning bolt through my window. It makes me feel very safe and I think that these kinds of phenomenon are a very beautiful way that nature has to show its anger.

Let me know a little bit about your feelings.

See you next Monday!

Easter time...

Easter is the most important religious feast in the Christian liturgical year. In Christian belief, Jesus was resurrected from the dead three days] after his crucifixion. Many Christian denominations celebrate this resurrection on Easter Day or Easter Sunday (also Resurrection Day or Resurrection Sunday), two days after Good Friday. The chronology of his death and resurrection is variously interpreted to be between the years 26 and 36 A.D. (in Wikipedia).

But Easter time is more than this! It’s time to have family and friends at home, and of course my God Son! And it’s time to eat chocolate, cinnamon, liquor, sugared and caramelized almonds … chocolate eggs shouldn’t be forgotten!

What about you? Do you usually eat sweets?
