Verka Serdushka - My Idol


Verka Serdushka, or Andriy Danylko, was born 2 October 1973 in Poltava, Ukraine. He is a comedian, pop singer and a dancer. In 2007, he represented Ukraine in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 and ended in second place.


Andriy Danilko started to create Verka Serdushka, a flamboyant middle woman, at a humor contest in Poltava on 1991. He invented the name by combining the randomly picked first name Verka, and the last name from a former school classmate, Anya Serduk.

What can the money buy?

The money can buy a house, but not the home.
The money can buy a watch, but not the sleep.
The money can buy a book, but not the learning.
The money can buy a doctor, but not the health
The money can buy a statute, but not the regard.
The money can buy blood, but not the life.
The money can buy sex, but not the love.

Conclusion: the money can buy everything less what you need in reality.

Profissional life

I like to have a career connected with economy and administration.

My working conditions are building my business, but so after of go to in the field, to watch and to confirm contability of young and big business and exercises the competences acquire of economy. But all this, Ikeep a big interest and struggle, for I have a stable life.

For consequences, I like to have a stable salary, I haven't as objective have a big salary and of a moment for other I lose all.

With this, I am realise the profissional nivel.

Violence and insecurity

It seems to me that Portugal is no longer the quiet and safe country it used to be. Episodes of extreme violence happen almost everyday, everywhere. A couple of days ago someone I know was working and minding her own business when she got shot during a robbery... and my uncle's house was robbed by two men in broad daylight... and the two situations took place about half a mile away from my home! One thing's for sure, the senses of fear and insecurity are getting hold of many Portuguese citizens and I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm one of them. But most of all I'm very concerned about the kind of society that today's children are going to inherit tomorrow.

A new school year

Here we are once again for another school year. For some students it will be a complete new experience as it will be the first time they attend a secondary school. However, as everything in life, the problem lies on the first days... once you get the rhythm, everything will be different. This also applies for the ones who are not here for the first time.
The best thing to do is to organise yourself, think that there are priorities and never forget to enjoy school life as much as you can without jeopardising your final results.
Have fun!!!!!!

The Story of Stuff

Now that you have a bit more time, here's a great video about how we produce, distribute and consume goods, the negative consequences of our over-consumption and some things we can do to help curb the problem.

The "Story of Stuff" explained by the author:

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.

Bill Gates's last day at Microsoft

As you may have heard, Bill Gates is stepping down his responsibilities at Microsoft to dedicate himself to his and his wife's foundation (it's about bringing innovations in health and learning to the global community, not about technology or making money). I think it's great to see someone as powerful and important as Bill Gates have this sense of humour about himself and the things he does (and the same can be said about many of his friends appearing on the video). I found this really funny.

Remember to give it a try, and hopefully you wouldn't live much longer (what a pitty) :)
