http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Michelle That's the world from my perspective - sail away from the safe harbour... catch the trade winds in your sails. EXPLORE! DREAM! DISCOVER! en Michelle2 Michelle2 Wed, 28 Jun 2006 18:34:53 +0200 daily 1 I just saw some publicity from a campaign launched by the India Cancer Patients Aid Association. The campaign ads were put on the ceiling of some smoking public areas. The idea was to give an impression to the smokers that they were inside their own grave. By the way, it has won the Bronze Lyon during the Cannes festival in the category of external advertising. Interesting, but a bit evil, don’t you think? I was just wondering if this kind of campaign does really work. If you were a smoker Would you stop smoking after seeing this kind of advertising ad? below you can check some of the ads...

Have you ever met anybody who does not dream? All of us have dreamt of something good or bad before Some dreams are believed to foretell the future While few dreams remind us of things we have forgotten Other dreams are just hallucination and nightmare What do you dream about? Some people dream every night While the others dream once a while Do you dream straight or opposite? To dream straight is to see a vision To dream straight is to have a revelation Is your dream good, bad or frightening? Has your dream ever come true? Do you day-dream or dream while you sleep? What do you really dream about? Politicians dream of winning elections Students dream of passing exams Soldiers dream of winning battles Everybody dreams of promotion on the job Fishermen dream of catching lots of fishes Some men see their future wives in a vision Few women see their future husbands in a dream Almost everybody dreams of winning the lottery What do you...

I think it was a good way o saying that we have lots of differents worlds realities althought we all live in the same world but we choose to ignore it, dont you think? below you can have a look at some of the ads...     Tue, 20 Jun 2006 17:05:31 +0200 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Michelle/IN-WHICH-WORLD-DO-YOU-LIVE/16/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Michelle/IN-WHICH-WORLD-DO-YOU-LIVE/16/     A friend of mine just sent me a spot about, guess what... in times of FIFA World Cup Germany 2006... yeh, it is about football!! :)) But it is a cool one, you can look it up at the link below, enjoy it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4m2cYxWIsA Thu, 15 Jun 2006 19:47:12 +0200 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Michelle/Cool-spot/15/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Michelle/Cool-spot/15/ Dont know if you can get it, but this is the latest political problem in Brazil! wether the ´phenomenon´ football player Ronaldo is fat or not... well... what is your opinion? :)) Wed, 14 Jun 2006 19:17:08 +0200 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Michelle/BRASIL-LATEST-ISSUE/14/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Michelle/BRASIL-LATEST-ISSUE/14/ Afer a very long time without any entries, just decided to get back to the blog and to give it some life!

And i thought, do we really learn with our mistakes? Sometimes i think not... because sometimes we rightly say, never again, but action is much harder... it is easy saying then put it in action.... The world has, to its shame, failed more than once to prevent genocide, lots of examples.. many wars..  and yet even after a century that witnessed the blood-drenched regimes of Stalin, Mao Tse-Tung, Hitler´s ¨final solulion¨ stands alone, not for its scale of barbarity, but for the way it organized the murder of millions as you would an industrial process.   It is unspeakable... i keep thinking that after that we...

Having exams at uni, working.... making up for such long days!!!! well, life isnt easy always! , it is just a result of our choices...isnt it? ...when im feeling a bit stressed out i like to listen to some special music... having a bath and well, just relax doing nothing... and i love  jazz, it can be very relaxing... for me it is a nice way of reality desconexion... and i love saxophone!!!!! ... have you ever heard of Se rge chaloff? he was arguably one of the greatest baritone saxophonist in jazz history, but unfortunately his lifelong drug adiction and untimely death prevented him from achieving his full potential as one of the saxophone most dominant figures. I love his style... it has a kind of swinging feel, grace and passion. His life was a bit well, dont know how to say.. intense... and it makes me think how life can be weird and tragic! When Chaloff eventually overcame his addiction to drugs, he tragically contracted a spinal tumor shortly after...

His works are full of sensibility. So i though i could share a litlle bit of Neruda´s work with you guys... ´...I have learned something: that it is we ourselves who create the phantons of our own mythification. From the very mortar with which we create, or hope to create, are formed the obstacles to our own evolution. We may find ourselves irrevocably drawn toward reality and realism - that is - toward an unselective acceptance of reality and the roads to change - and then realize, when it seems to late, that we have raised such severe limitations that we have killed life instead of guiding it to growth and fruition... ...we have imposed on ourselves a realism heavier than our building bricks, without even having constructed the building we thought was our first responsability...¨       Fri, 14 Jan 2005 16:40:26 +0100 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Michelle/Some-poetry/7/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Michelle/Some-poetry/7/ HEY DEAR VISITOR!!!!

All you could see at the streets were people packed with shopping bags! It is incredible how people are crazy about shopping... we actually buy lots of things that we dont really need... oh, well... we humans... so superficially empty sometimes... how can we live our lives trully in a false world??????     Mon, 10 Jan 2005 12:28:53 +0100 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Michelle/Rebajas/3/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Michelle/Rebajas/3/ ...yesterday was a bank holiday called los dias de Reyes here in spain.  It is a day when the Reyes Magos bring presents for everybody...oh well, nearly everybody...
