Well, changing the subject(In Portuguese we say "mudando de assunto" when we want to change the subject. (Do?)You use something similar to?)

I've already made(done?) some posts about music. I don't remember of the all songs I posted here. I just remember these songs posted: Relativity - Siún Ní Dhuibhir and Nest - Otterheart.

Today I will post a good song by another Finnish band called Tenhi. The band play progressive folk/dark folk, some songs of the band are a little melancholy. I love this song, because it is so calm and it sounds in a way that I can't explain... I just say it is amazing. The video is very good too.

I hope you like it.

Until next time!!!:-)

I've studied English since the beginning. I still have to write many things. I have already written about Definitive/Indefinite Articles, Nouns, Pronouns, Quantifiers, Prepositions, Genitive and Verbs. But I need to write many other things. I like to write because this way I do not forget the information. I'm also looking for a English Grammar book, but the good books are very expensive. I'm studying on the internet, of course it has many information about English, nevertheless I still want a grammar book.
I'm getting to learn more about English studying alone in my home than at school. At school I "learned" English during 7 years, but during this time I learned little things. English classes at public schools are very bad in my country.

Bye bye guys!!!:-)

I'm a bad cook, but I like to make candies and they are delicious. I always hear that I need to learn to cook, but I don't mind because I know to make the food I like.

I like to make sweet popcorn. Did you ever ate it?

It's very easy to make. Recipe: Well, everybody know to make popcorn, so it does not need recipe, right? The sweet sauce: In a pot mix 1 cup of currant syrup and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Wait on low heat the mixture boil. When the sweet sauce is thick pour the popcorn. Mix all on low heat. Done that pour the popcorn in a bowl.

This is the easiest way to make sweet popcorn. I hope you like it.

Bye bye guys!!!:-)

Well, I need to memorize the Past Tenses. My "Kryptonits" are Present Perfect and Past Perfect... It primarily because I'm always confounding. Today, I don't have idea for a text and I haven't done interesting things lately. Then, I will write some phrases. Albeit even for phrases I'm no idea.

Present Perfect:
I have watched some fights on TV lately. I have not talked to my friends since last month.
You have got(or taken)good notes since last week. You have not eaten your vegetables.

Past Perfect:
They had arrived at the party when Meg fell out her chair.
We had fallen the ladder by the time our Mother arrived.

Well, To finalize... Please... Could somebody explain when to use "get out"?

Bye bye guys!!!:-)

Today I decided to write about two Brazilian typical candies "Brigadeiro" e "Beijinho". Both are typical in Birthday Parties too(I think here doesn't have Birthday Party without this candies).

Beyond very delicious(I only like Brigadeiro) they are very simple to cook. Both are made with the same ingredients... Almost all. The differences is: Brigadeiro is made with chocolate and Beijinho is made with coconut.

The recipe of Brigadeiro is: 1 tin of condensede milk; 3(or more) tablespoon of chocolate powder; 1 tablespoon of margarine. Method of preparation: Mix everything in a pot(panela) stirring constantly. When the mixture is dropping of the pot it will be ready. After, you must wait chilly(esfriar); With a little tablespoon remove some and put in your hand, so roll the candy; Done that put in a recipient with granulated chocolate and sprinkles(polvilhe). Is ready the candy. The recipe of Beijinho is the same, but change the chocolate for shredded coconut, of course the granulated chocolate for crystal sugar or shredded coconut. In the Beijinho we always put a garnish, one clove.

I'm sure that I write in a strange way but any question ask me and I write in Portuguese... I'm in a hurry.HEHEHE Well, I hope you like them.

:-)

Days ago I wrote a phrase saying I'm reading an interesting book called "The Mists of Avalon". The book was lent and who lent me the book was my neighbor.

This Monday I got a gift of my friend. I'm happy because I got the four books of serie "The Mists of Avalon".

I still reading the first book of serie and I'm loving that book. Maybe I will write about the book here... But my vocabulary is very poor. However write about they(or them) will be good for my learning.

I also want to watch the movie "The Mists of Avalon". The book is cool, so the movie must be cool too. Have you read or watched "The Mists of Avalon" yet?

Today I'll write about Mortal Kombat. I think MK is the best game in the world. In my opinion, people have a video game and don't play MK not fully enjoy the video game... But it's a question of opinion.HEHEHE

I've played MK since I was child. I used to beat in my middle brother in the game but now I think he is better than me. I've played Mortal Kombat Armageddon lately.

I want so much a PS3 because I really want to play MK9. The Fatalities are realistic and brutal. I liked three fatalities: Kung Lao, Sektor and Kenshi. Do you like MK?

Saturday I wrote a post about music. Today I'll write again about music. I've been no(or without) idea. However I've been very angry. Well, Saturday I posted a song that in my opinion is amazing but I forgot to post another song.

However I've been no ideia, so I though better and I decided to post a new song each day.

I think is complicated to choose a favourite song because I have many and I belive it is common with many people. The song of today is spectacular. It's a Celtic song by Irish/Scotish band. I found the lyrics in English but I don't tried to read it yet. If I'm not mistaken the language of song is Irish.
http://youtu.be/LtffAHzAL7M

To finalize today... How I say in English this proverb "quem vê cara não vê coração". If had a version in English, please say me. Bye bye guys.:-)

I've wrote some phrases lately. Today I'll write a little text about music.

I was not fan of music, in other words, I rarely listened to music. During a time I listened to pop music but I really did not like them. Sincerely I listened pop music because they was the only thing that I would have in comum with my friends.

I stopped listen to music I really did not like. For some time now I've listened only music I really like. For example: I love Celtic, Medieval, Pagan, Folk, Ambient, some Metal etc. Below is one musics amazing in my opinion.

http://youtu.be/f8KNMU18M40

I hope you like it. Do you have a prefered song?

The text is a little confused but I hope to improve each day. I need to engage more with English.
