My Name

Maria.

The chosen, loved by God.

It's from hebrew origins: Jesus' mother.

Characteristics: She is idealist, sensible and polite with other people (yes, always). She often needs time to think (yes, a loooot of time). She expresses herself through her comprehension towards other people (yes, I'd consider myself as comprehensive). She likes to solve everyone else's problems (indeed, and I've had trouble because of it) and be a good friend (well, I often put others before me... very often, but not always).

Camila.

She who is present in God.

Some say is from Portuguese origins, others from the spanish "Camilla", and finally others say it comes from the french "Camille", I think, though, it actually comes from latin origins, so... my name is a bit... disperse hahaha.

Characteristics: Independent (indeed, in many ways), confident about what she does (Hmm... Not always) and decided (definitely not me). She may also be a perfectionist (hahaha indeed) and argues abut what is and isn't fair (yes!). She loves to feel complemented (of course) and loves humor (that's for sure, I love when people make me laugh).

The Oscars

To be honest, it has been a long time since I last saw The Oscars, yesterday, for example, I completely forgot about them. So today's question is weather the Ocars are interesting anymore, and my answer shall be no. I'm sure they are pretty entretaining but this time I forgot and last time I fell asleep. I think it is interesting to watch the movies which were nominated, but sincerely, I think waching them is a bit...boring. I guess it's just me but in my opinion, they've become more of an excuse to show off in fancy dresses and assist to such a party.

Anyway, it's fine to watch them for a little while, I mean it only happens once every year, it might actually be worth it. Perhaps it is just that I haven't take the time to really appreciate them.

World War I

The Great War, WWI or The War To End All Wars took place in Europe. About 70 million soldiers took part in the fighting and about 60 were european.

What makes this war different form the others, is that it was faught in trenches. People fighting this war had to live in dugouts, waiting to be called to the front line to fight the German army. Here is more information about the life in the trenches, the trench system and the trench warfare.

And finally, here is an article about how it really was to live in a trench:

My honest opinion about emos.

Emos are just different. The fact that they believe in different things than most of the population doesn’t mean that they are wrong or that they are stupid, it’s just that they are very emotional. I wouldn’t harm myself, but this doesn’t mean that the fact that they do it is plain stupid. I don’t know their reasons, I don’t feel what they feel when they do it, so I can not judge them.
In some ways, I even like the concept. Many emos write to let out all their emotions, and as they are very deep, their writing is often true, very real, showing things as they see them, form a point of view that maybe we haven’t even considered.
I don’t believe I’ll go to “the black parade” when I die, but that doesn’t mean I’ll go to heaven either, so I can’t see why people criticize them the way they do.
I have nothing against Emos, the ones I don’t like are the POSERS. I think posers only like to be the victims and say they are going to kill themselves so people go and beg them not to do so. Posers only want to call attention. If you’re emo, that’s fine, you’re emotional and you do feel like the world is crumbling down on you, but posers… I mean, please, there are better ways to call attention than pretend you’re something you’re not.

Something I like.

Something I like can be many things. I've already written about reading, writing and playing the piano, but this is more specific... I'm going to write about a song I really like, Life for Rent by Dido.
I really like her songs, but more than the music itself, I like the lyrics; sepcially the lyrics of this one.

I haven't really ever found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind that your heart ain't exactly breaking.

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't lean to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

I've always thought that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone and live my life more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive

If my life is for rent...

I truly like the first line which talks about how she's never felt like she belongs with anyone, or anywhere, but also she accepts that it's her fault for she has never been enough time to make anywhere feel like home.
If my life is for rent by this she means that her life is not hers and that she must start to do something to own it again.
