Chinese Travelers are in the whole world today!

Digitally strolling on USAToday's site, today, 01.02.2012, I noticed that US Travel Industry couldn't be happier.

President Obama has eased visas for chinese travelers to come into US. Chinese travelers (rich people, of course) usually spend a bunch of money wherever they go.

US site says: In New York, Chinese spent on average $3,197 per person in 2010, the highest among foreign travel groups. "

They're sort of the new Japanese," Dixon says. "Ain't" it weird? Chinese labor force must live with a monthly income of less than 50 USDollars! Yet, the new "middle class" from China can fly to US and - believe me! - purchase "chinese made products", in New York, at a cheaper price... than in Beijing! Oh, world!

There is, to my understanding, a major problem: US travel industry people are now compelled to "get ready" to welcome chinese and - sure: please them, by understanding their ancient culture, not exhibiting certain numbers (like 44), speaking Mandarin, etc.

US and Europe facing tough times on their economies... The time (and Economy) changes minds, prejudices, etc. Yes, I know: Obama also eased visas for brazilians, once our economy has been booming over past 5 years...

Let the chinese flock to the world!

Oh, by the way: how many languages, do you speak?

Xie xie (thanks, indeed - in Mandarin!).

Berlusconi resigns in Italy Berlusconi finally goes home (or elsewhere!).

He was actually the main cause of Italy to be in troubles on the Euro Zone until today.

Money is not everything, reported my grand-mom a few days ago. Berlusconi has lot of money, but less brain year-after-year...!!!

Italy and the Euro Zone hope things gradually fit to the right place. Some friends of mine in Europe told me that the "very big mistake" was "to add" many countries to Euro! Wow! That is true!? IF it is true, then something might be done to adjust the thing; IF it is not true; many things must be done "to add" more intelligence to the "Heads-of-Government".

Ciao Bello!

USA DEBT CEILING AGREEMENT REACHED DEAL


It is said that Republicans are working together to expell Obama from White House sooner (preferably) or later...!!! The point is that USA economy still sets Globe rolling over and over, again and again, 24h a day!

Stock markets world-wide were astonished on belated decision from USA to reach some agreement, which will give more time for the economy to recover and Obama to breath a little bit - while next elections comes in!

Should we say that US "Empire" is about to decline? Yes and No! Yes: no Empire lasts for ever. USA cannot - as before - politically determine everything in the world. China + Europe (Germany - mainly) + India + Brazil and other countries are playing important roles nowadays. Budget cuts will have to be implemented immediately by Obama. No: Empire(s) do not decline so fast - not at all! It takes time, centuries...!!!

We should all remember: if any default comes from Obama, the whole world will suffer - a lot! Hum, better help uncle Sam-Obama!

DALAI LAMA SAID TO BE MARXIST!

This week, at University of Minessota (USD), Dalai Lama said to 150 chinese students that "He is marxist"!

In fact, no big deal for those who actually follow Lama's steps.

He keeps being political & spiritual leader to millions all over.

He is very good at marketing himself, when needed!

"Better is a dry morsel, and quieteness therewith, than a house full of sacrifices with strife" (Prov 17.1).

The reading of the above proverb dicloses a deep truth usually hidden: the prosperity, the abundance, the consumism have been preached as something "godly" and should be achieved at any cost! This is big lie!

In millions of residences there is abundance but not life, but not peace, but not contentment, but not respect, worse of all: but not love! Money is not everything.

Well, what to do pastor?

1. Search for peace inside of you. Search peace in God;
2. Re-search your priorities: to have or to be; peace or "crazy life";
3. Do not consider many words people say about you. Worse: they do against you;
4. Be selective in choosing friends. Friends indeed are like pearls, not easy...;
5. Deliver yourself to God. He knows what is best for you.

Do not follow this world. Do not follow any "fashion"! Be creative: copy what best suits you and then re-creative your own way of living!

Have a blessed day! Keep coming back for more! God is good!

Fortaleza - Brazil, April 8th, 2011

Dear readers,

It's been some good time since I last updated this blog! I've been working too much to pay bills... and time is to short!

Anyway, I thank you for paying me your visits! Life has been hard in the Tropics and not not a paradise, as pictured-dreamt by 99% of foreigners, when thinking about life in Brazil!.

This week, a son-of-devil, about 20 years old, came into the same school he studied before (Rio de Janeiro) and with the use of 2 (two) guns he killed over 11 kids and injured over 20! Complete disaster! We, brazilians, innocently thought that this kind of tragedy was something only in US + Europe, etc! Then, we realised that, as I said above, life is too hard here, too!

But, God is merciful and will confort the families, as we pray for them!

I see some people in Internet defending the use of guns, training with guns etc etc etc. Tst tst tst! This will lead us nowhere! The son-of-devil had an easy access to guns... and he did what he did! Governments must rpt must elaborate rules about the purchase and use of guns. Brazil will - now, regrettably - discuss about guns in the Congress! Yes, dear reader, we are actually a bit late: say 100 years late!

God bless you! Keep coming back!

At nights, I usually preach the word of God here! Monday thru Thursday, 21h30 - 22h brazilian time! Watch it!

I thank you very much for taking your time to read me!
This is actually a privilege and honour to me!
Brazil has a new president (Dilma - she, yes!).
Only God knows what is going to happen in next 4 years!
No, I did not support her, at all. I do not believe her!
But, maybe I might have a surprise: for the worse...!!!
Let's wait and see... God is merciful on brazilian people!

It has been raining in my hometown: Fortaleza (1.900.000 inhabitants).
Fortaleza lies in Northeastern Brazil. It's worth a visit. Come on in!

Miners in Chile (rescued, after all)

The world stopped to watch miners being rescued in Chile. Millions and millions of viewers through TV. Chilean president, Mr. Pinera, today is well known all over! I heard that some film-maker already trying to sign contracts with miners as soon as possible! Yes, out of the chaos God can produce miracles and miracles...

Today, situation is as follows:

1. The whole world knows that Chile is located in South America.
2. The whole world knows that Chile speaks spanish.
3. The whole world knows that Mr. Pinera is president of Chile.
4. The whole world knows that miners work under very difficult conditions.
5. The whole world knows that it is possible to use technology to rescue lives.

There were 33 miners. The one who knelt down with a Bible in hands, was the espiritual leader of them all. They are all heroes, yes - that is for sure! To survive 72 days beneath the earth... is actually an act of God!

May God bless each one of the miners!
May God bless Chile!

Wacky election candidates reveal problems at heart of Brazil politicsBy Maria Luisa Cavalcanti

BBC Brasil


Francisco Everardo Oliveira Silva is expected to be voted in by more than a million people "What does a federal deputy do? Truly, I don't know. But vote for me and I will find out for you."

This is one of the political slogans of a man who is expected to enter the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of Congress, in the general election on 3 October with the backing of more than a million voters.

If the phrase sounds like some sort of joke, perhaps you will not be surprised to learn that this particular candidate is a professional clown.

Francisco Everardo Oliveira Silva, or Tiririca as he is known, started working in a circus at the age of eight in the impoverished north-eastern state of Ceara, and is now a TV comedian.
_________________________________________________________

This is what I myself think on the subject:

1. Tiririca is actually a professional clown.
2. Brazilian Chamber of Deputies is full of amateur clowns...
3. Had I been born in Sao Paulo State, I would vote for Tiririca ehe ehe ehe!
4. Voting for a professional clown would be my way of protesting against amateurs!

May God bless Tirica... At least, I shall laugh and laugh and laugh a lot!

KORAN PROTEST PASTOR TO GET £100,000 BILL



Preacher Terry Jones, who planned to burn the Koran, is to receive a £100,000 bill
Monday September 20,2010
By Lianne Kolirin MAVERICK preacher Terry Jones, who sparked an international crisis over plans to burn the Koran, is to receive a £100,000 bill for police security.


More than 200 officers, including members of a SWAT team, were on duty at the church in Florida where Jones planned a burning of the holy book.

A huge security operation was put into place even though the pastor called off the protest, which was condemned by US President Barack Obama.

EXPRESS OFFER: CLAIM £15 IN FREE BETS HERE!


The police bill in Gainesville comes to more than £50,000 and the Sheriff’s office spent a similar amount after putting almost all its officers on duty.

Pastor Jones, 58, and members of his Dove World Outreach Centre planned to throw 200 copies of the Islamic book on a bonfire on the 9th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on America.

The event was cancelled after US Defence Secretary Robert Gates called Jones and told him soldiers in Afghanistan would be put at greater risk by the stunt. With 48 hours until the planned burning, Jones scrapped the event saying he had secured a promise from the backers of a mosque at Ground Zero that it would be moved to a new site.

He flew to New York for talks with the Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, who is behind the project, but he was snubbed.

The bill could bankrupt Jones and his church but he insists he will not pay, saying: “If we had known this in advance, we would have refused the security.”
_____________________________________________________________

This is what I myself think about the subject:

1. Terry Jones tried to call the world's attention to himself, to his church;
2. Someone at Terry's church should have warned him about consequences of his acts;
3. Many muslims burn flags, bibles, etc and nothing happens in Western world;
4. Western has been super tolerant with Islamism; not the opposite is true;
5. In fact, we should all respect someone's religion.

Life is too short. We should all live in peace. Peace, please!

Susan Boyle: she deserves all the very best...

I must say my heart went out to her since I saw her singing!
She is actually a great singer, hidden for quite a good time!
But the Lord made her sing in public (Britains Got Talent).
Now, Susan deserves all she will certainly get!
A reader (radical, for sure!) might say: how the Lord could possibly use her!?
Easy to explain: the Lord has his own ways of doing things...!
The Lord has his own ways of taking people out of poverty-misery-hidden places!
May God bless Susan Boyle. She deserves it all!

"Do everything without complaining or arguing" (Philippians 2.14)

We do many things.
We do not do many things.
Things were made to be done
Things were made to be destroyed - sometimes.
Life is like this: some good & some bad things taking place every single day!
We complain a lot! Hu-mans complain too much; animals do not! But, we are all animals, right?

We argue a lot! Hu-mans argue too much; animals do not! Aren't we all animals!?
In which way(s) are we hu-mans better than animals?
In fact, many animals are far much better than hu-mans!
Many hu-mans behave worse than animals!

May God forgive all hu-mans and protect, and protect all animals!

STREET PREACHER
Every month, I use to go to the beach Beira-Mar, in my hometown, to preach the word of God. I do not use electronic equipment because this would require especial permission from local city hall. It is widely known here that our lady-mayor is not, by no means, fan of believer!

The text used was Matthews 6.24: you cannot serve-dedicate yourself to two Lords: God and the money! You ought to make a choice in your life!

On today's world, people do not actually only run for money, they transpire, they breath, they smell money and long for it everywhere!!! How sad indeed!!!

Bible says that ALL who breath-transpire money shall have consequences. The problem is not - by no means - the money itself, but the LOVE for it, for the money! Therefore, be wise and:

1. Ask yourself: who is my Lord?;
2. Am I happy?;
3. Happiness means money?;
4. Should it not be time enough for a change in my life?;
5. Think your whole life over and over again - today, today, today.

Remember: life is too short for you to waste it running after money.

Such a long time such a short life!

There are commandments to obey, but who actually obey them?
There are roads-ways to be chosen, but who actually follow the best!?
There are misteries, un-seen things, things to be yet disclosed...!!!
In fact, we are all pilgrims in this land, and so shall be until our death.
Our lives shall be around 70, after that, we shall all feel tired... (Salm 90.10).
Taking into consideration our short life, we ought to:

1. Focus on our God;
2. Focus on our family;
3. Focus on our relationships;
4. Focus on things from a precise-intended angle;
5. Focus on ourselves, not on someone's else life.

Concentrate on a few things... You, dear reader, will NOT have a long time...

He gave them these orders: "You must serve faithfully and wholeheartedly in the fear of the LORD (2Cr 19.9).

(...) and that love might be eternal, while it lasts! (V.de Morais, brazilian poet).

We all know that eternity means "non-duration of time"!

If my reader has made pledges of love before a priest-altar, he ought to be faithfull, for God's sake!

Some people say that women are not un-faithfull, she just "get revenge", wow! That is nonsense! Men & women are un-faithfull sometimes...!!! But it should NOT be this way, not at all! Ok, then what to do!?

1. Be faithfull;
2. Cultivate the relationship, for it is like a rose... needs water;
3. Have a "good heart" and and not a bad-one;
4. Have J.Christ as prior-superior example;
5. Stop now and start praying! Yes, yes, yes, start praying for you!

Remember: you will be judged by your words & actions, actions, actions!
