Well, here we have the adorable and cute Alexa Chung and the genious Karl Legerfeld saying a bit of truth. Enjoy!
Today I've learn: when rains a lot... my swimming pool gives loads of bubbles out of raindrops.

"... and I too suffer."
My English teacher gave us this to read and, well, I just fall in love with it... Hope you like it!!
What I have lived for
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knoledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy- ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness- that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last-- I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which numer holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.
Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by opressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.
This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered to me.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) won the Nobel Prize for literature for his History of Western Philosophy and was the co-author of Principia Mathematica.

Today I've learn: Dreams are a gift!

Significant, actually!
Today I went with my friends to watch Remember me at the cinema. Sad, very sad story. But it is about this quote that I want to write about: "Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it", a quote prom Mahatma Gandhi that it's very repetitive in the movie.
I don't agree.
I think everything you do is significant because it touches others and it touches you. I mean, every action in our lives have consequences on everything that will do also in the future, everything counts, everything matters and everything is significant to our lives and the lives of others that could or could not depend on us. People are important as individuals and as groups. Of course it is very important that you do this things, it takes courage to walk every day, to breathe and to smile, also... but it isn't insignificant because it matters, you matter, I matter, we all matter. Maybe it is time to understand this: it is both important and significant that we do things. Everything can change from our decisions on.
About the movie: Rob Pattinson can act something that isn't Edward Cullen... great to know! Also, Emily de Ravin acts really good as well but her american accent wasn't the best. And... well, Rob Pattinson was freaking gorgeous in the movie!! ^^
Today I've learn: Drama movies+ice cream matches great!!
Quote I DID like from the movie "If you could hear me, I would say that our finger prints don't fade from the lives we've touched."
XOXO
