Unforgettable, that’s what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that’s how you’ll stay
That’s why, darling, it’s incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
No never before
has someone been more ooh

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that’s how you’ll stay
That’s why, darling, it’s incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

My Coworker, Pam, showed me where she went for the Chinese New year festival in Liberdade district, São Paulo,Brazil.

Of course, wikipedia has the information about it. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinatowns_in_Latin_America)

São Paulo, Brazil, has no permanent Chinatown, but the Chinese-Brazilian community is centered around the Liberdade district.. Besides being an area famous for its strong Japanese presence, a significant number of Taiwanese immigrants settled in Liberdade, and many Chinese immigrants have come to Liberdade following the Communist revolution in 1949. Many Cantonese from Hong Kong and Portuguese-speaking Macau — including some Macanese of mixed Chinese and Portuguese descent — also settled the place after their return to mainland Chinese rule in 1997 and 1999 respectively. These Macau immigrants can usually speak and understand Portuguese (and sometimes also its creole, Macanese or Patuá), allowing them to adjust more easily to life in Brazil. A very sizeable number of Chinese Indonesians settled the area as refugees when they were violently forced out by Indonesians of Malay descent in the 1960s. Today, Chinese Brazilians usually speak a mixture of Chinese and Portuguese. Japanese and Koreans who have also settled permanently alongside the Chinese community have truly made Liberdade a multi-Asian community.

Evita (1996) - Madonna - Don’t Cry For Me Argentina

MADONNA LYRICS

“Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”

[Eva:]
It won’t be easy, you’ll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I’ve done

You won’t believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she’s dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn’t stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun

So I chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

[Chorus:]

Don’t cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don’t keep your distance

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired

They are illusions
They are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don’t cry for me Argentina

[chorus]

Have I said too much?
There’s nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true

Antonio Bandera - Evita (1996) - “High Flying Adored”

MADONNA LYRICS

“High Flying, Adored”

[Che:]
High flying, adored
So young, the instant queen
A rich beautiful thing, of all the talents
A cross between a fantasy of the bedroom and a saint
You were just a backstreet girl
Hustling and fighting, scratching and biting

High flying, adored
Did you believe in your wildest moments
All this would be yours
That you’d become the lady of them all?

Were there stars in your eyes
When you crawled in at night
From the bars, from the sidewalks
From the gutter theatrical
Don’t look down, it’s a long, long way to fall

High flying, adored
What happens now, where do you go from here?
For someone on top of the world
The view is not exactly clear
A shame you did it all at twenty-six
There are no mysteries now
Nothing can thrill you, noone fulfill you

High flying, adored
I hope you come to terms with boredom
So famous so easily, so soon
It’s not the wisest thing to be

You won’t care if they love you
It’s been done before
You’ll despair if they hate you
You’ll be drained of all energy
All the young who’ve made it would agree

[Eva:]
High flying, adored
That’s good to hear but unimportant
My story’s quite usual
Local girl makes good, weds famous man
I was stuck in the right place at the perfect time
Filled a gap, I was lucky
But one thing I’ll say for me
Noone else can fill it like I can

Happy New Year to everyone!!! Today it’s the Chinese New Year of the pig. I had my third birthday celebration for this year yesterday and it was also the first celebration for my birthday this year according to the Chinese Calendar. Thank you Miko for the gift and the lovely Birthday Cake with my Chinese name on it. You know exactly the kind of the cake that I like. I loved the cake and the gift so much.
Today, I shared some of the Chinese pudding cake (發榚) (pinyin: Fa-Gao). It is for good luck the New Year.

(http://www.flickr.com/photos/bibi/111576018/?#comment72157594543095420) - XIN NIAN KUAI LE - FELIZ ANO NOVO

Facts:

1. XIN NIAN KUAI LE is exact how it’s pronounced for “Happy New Year” in Chinese (新年快樂) .
2. Why dog? Becuase it was taken in 2006, the year of the dog.
3. FELIZ ANO NOVO - Happy New Year in Portugese(Happy year New actually)

Last night, we were so depressed to watch the finale for “Will & Grace”. It was really a good show. It was like saying a goodbye to a best friend. Miko and I had so much fun watching them. However, we didn’t finish the finale last night because we were so tired and also we found out that we are actually missing 2 seaons, season 6 and season 7.

Main cast of Will & Grace. (left to right) Sean Hayes, Debra Messing, Eric McCormack and Megan Mullally.

It was so Blockbuster’s fault. We don’t find Season 6 and Season 7 by searching “Will & Grace” in Blockbuster.com. Thought Season 5 was the last one. Now through Netflex.com, I found out there is more seasons for Will & Grace. It happened before for me to find Battlestar Galatica also.
