Films, Sports and Hobbies

Hello friends,



It appears that we let flourish the journalist inside us this month, Amy. Lovely your post. I’m curious to see the star, how does he look like?

I’ve heard about Bollywood before reading the news on 蜜芽传媒 but I’ve never watched a film. As I’ve said before about books written in English, the same I say about films. Most of the films available here are from Hollywood.

I’m very selective regarding to films. It’s not easy to satisfy myself with a film. The last good film I’ve watched was The Constant Gardner but I love musical films as Phantom of the Opera and Moulin Rouge so, I think I would love knowing the Indian movie.

It’s pretty much the same with games, mostly American games. My son and his friends loves playing games and I have to keep an eye on them because I don’t let them playing violent games like GTA or playing for long time.

I also think he can’t spend all his spare moments at home so I’ve always encouraged him to practise sports. His dream is to take part in Formula 1 racing one day...Oh! What an expensive dream! A pie in the sky! Football would be easier or any other activity. But I think sports in general are good not only to professionals.

We need an escapism. I like football and rafting just for pleasure when I don’t want to stay at home reading, listening music and watching films. My brother is crazy for triathlon or any marathon. Last month he took part in a half marathon that runs every year. We were there supporting him.

Well friends, I’m planning to answer all your comments tomorrow because maybe my last post will be on Saturday. It’s not because I’m planning to do rafting and relax but because I have a surprise for you all to compensate your nice and supportive presence during this month. This post sounds like a good-bye...

Dear Adri, I am happy to see you avoid your son to play GTA. I have done the same with mine. He is now eleven, had got a copy from a friend an asked me if he could install it. As I did not know what kind of game it was I supposed it was only a car driving game and allowed him to install it. Few days later I watched him playing and I got to know what kind of game it was. I had then a chat with him and he accepted I uninstall the game. I am happy to have done it. But overall I have appreciated the understanding of my son. I see that everywhere seems to be similar. I always have to keep asking them, my daughter (14) and my son, to stay away from the computer, to go outside, to have a bath of fresh air. Children and parents the eternal conflict ! Have a nice day. Antonio

Hi Adriana! Aahh! Your son is so cute driving the car :-). Oh... Don麓t say good bye! It麓s too early to say that :-). Good night, Ana Paula.

Hi Adri, the music films are among my favorite ones. But I prefer those with a good psychological or educational background such as documentary 鈥楻hythm is it鈥, 鈥業beria鈥 or 鈥楲isbon story鈥(for me it鈥檚 much of a music film thanks to Madradeus). 鈥楲isbon story鈥 is the cult film for most of my friends and it was really funny when recently we鈥檝e heard from a Portuguese student that he has never heard about that film nor about Madradeus. So we started to recommend him that unique move about the city he used to study in ... The world is really small and the men鈥檚 dreams are so common 鈥 my sons also dream about driving in F1 racing or Paris-Dakar rally, love planes (especially acrobatic ones) and one of them used to take part in marathons. Adri, it鈥檚 so good we don鈥檛 have to say 鈥榞ood bye鈥 鈥 we鈥檒l hear from you next week, next month .... though in much more condensed form. Thanks for all you鈥檝e done for us, it was much more than we expected or even dreamt of. I wish you to wake up every morning with the joy of life you share with all of us so generously. From Warsaw with love,

Hi Adri!You鈥檝e posted a lot! That鈥檚 all we wanted. But it鈥檚 really amazing how you can well manage your busy life as mother, wife, house keeper, footballer and dentist. Furthermore, you also find time to be involved with social project and this blog. Super-woman! I had to give up a project to be able to just follow this blog. That still takes me a lot of time. I鈥檓 trying to keep contact as much as possible, due to enjoy the latest days. I鈥檝e been writing comments immediately after I read your entries (it鈥檚 the sixth one). That鈥檚 really a pity that it wasn鈥檛 possible to write you before. Anyway, we still have some time left. We can here easily find Bollywood films but although I do like Musicals and sweet comic romance, I don鈥檛 like much the Bollywood movies. If you really like Musicals movies, you must have seen 麓麓Everyone says I love you`` from and with Woody Allen, 麓麓Chicago``with truckloads good actors and 麓麓Hairspray`` with John Travolta as a woman. If you really like Musicals, you should come to London because they are better than the Broadway. I prefer rather English actors and productions than the Americans. My son always wants to spend his leisure time (off school time) at home, exactly in front of the computer or TV. I also must stimulate him to play outside or do sports. Here he can play outside without any preoccupation, what is very nice. You told once that a prior you have to be careful everywhere. I feel very secure here and that 鈥榮 one of the reason I want to stay here. In Rio, it would be completely different. Well, Iago looks very comfortable in the race car in the picture. I bet you鈥檒l have to buy more save boxes. Until next time.

Dear Adri, I can鈥檛 think how fast time flew away and still we are hopping to share our ideas, some glimpse on Brazilian life and many more nice photos from your side. When you mentioned you have only three days to post as student blogger and share you opinions to us, I get stunned for few minutes and started to think what to write to you in this short period of time. I have enjoyed very much in your blog along with photos and get some ideas about historical background, beautiful scene and sceneries and recipes for Traditional foods. All the materials you posted make us feel that Brazil is not far away from Nepal and one day I may visit it.
