"Um dia você vai se lembrar de mim. Os números da sua agenda passarão claramente na sua frente e você..."
“Um dia você vai se lembrar de mim. Os números da sua agenda passarão claramente na sua frente e você não terá nenhum para discar. Talvez, até tente o meu, mas até lá posso não querer mais te atender ou talvez nem seja mais meu aquele número. Você vai tentar chamar alguém, mas não vai haver ninguém pra sair correndo e te dar um abraço, nem te colocar no colo ou acariciar seus cabelos até que o mundo pare de girar. Nessa fração de segundo, quando seus pés perderem o chão, você vai lembrar do meu carinho e do meu sorriso infantil. Virão súbitas memórias gostosas dos meus beijos e abraços, da minha preocupação quando você saía e esquecia de pegar a blusa de frio… E só terá uma música repetindo no seu rádio: a nossa doce sinfonia. Em um novo momento você vai sentir um aperto no peito, uma pausa na respiração, e vai torcer bem forte para ter o nosso mundinho de volta, mundinho difícil, mas cheio de amor e carinho. Vai ouvir a chuva cair e vai sentir um imenso vazio por não ter um grande amor pra compartilhar esse momento. Não terá alguém para brincar de se jogar na grama nos dias ensolarados, nem para admirar o pôr-do-sol sobre a ponte da pequena cidade. Talvez, nem consiga mais sentir o frescor do vento. O nome disso é saudade, aquilo que eu tinha tanto e te falava sempre. E quando você finalmente bater na minha porta, ela estará trancada, ou se aberta, mostrará uma casa vazia. Seus olhos te ensinarão o que são lágrimas, aquelas que eu te disse que ardiam tanto. E você vai lembrar dos carinhos nas costas pra você dormir, dos paninhos quentes pra aliviar sua dor de madrugada, da minha inocência que ria de tudo que você falava, do meu jeito bobo, do meu jeito de tentar te fazer feliz… O nome do enjoo que você vai sentir é arrependimento, e a falta de fome será a tristeza, a mesma que eu senti por tanto tempo. Um dia você irá se deitar, e quando olhar para o teto do quarto escuro, vai se lembrar que as estrelas poderiam estar lá, para iluminar todas as suas noites frias. Mas tudo o que você verá é a escuridão. Então quando os dias passarem e eu não te ligar, quando nada de bom te acontecer e ninguém te olhar com os meus olhos encantados… você encontrará a solidão. E você vai ver que diante de tudo isso, alguns dos meus defeitos poderiam ter sido perdoáveis. A partir daí, o que acontecerá chama-se surpresa. E provavelmente o remédio para todas essas sensações… é o tal do tempo em que você tanto falava!”

“Portanto, agora, ali estava eu. Sentado ouvindo a chuva. Se eu morresse agora, ninguém verteria uma lágrima em todo o mundo. Não que precisasse disso. Mas era estranho. Até onde um trouxa pode ficar solitário? Mas o mundo estava cheio de velhos rabugentos como eu. Sentados ouvindo a chuva e pensando para onde foi todo mundo. Aí é que a gente sabe que está velho, quando fica pensando para onde foi todo mundo.”

“Você repete baixinho “não posso perder você” e fico imaginando o porquê. Não consigo manter ninguém por perto durante muito tempo, eu me conheço, eu me canso, eu faço os outros cansarem. E, por incrível que pareça, dessa vez eu estou me esforçando muito para que isso não aconteça. Eu sou caos na maior parte do tempo, mas um dia desses eu descobri que teu caos também é contínuo. Pensei então em conseguirmos fazer do nós o nosso próprio porto seguro. É que eu te olho nos olhos e sinto vontade de guardar teu olhar em um cantinho dentro de mim. Eu te olho rindo e sinto vontade de emoldurar seu sorriso na parede do meu quarto. Eu te olho indo embora e sinto vontade de gritar pedindo para viver sempre dentro do seu abraço.”

Disturbing Things That Happened To The Corpses Of Some Famous Historical Figures (7 pics)
You won’t believe but the body parts of some famous historical figures were stolen from them.
Thomas Paine - One of the founders of the United States, the man who actually wrote the phrase, "the United States of America", died a penniless drunk in Manhattan. 10 Years after his death his bones were dug up by William Cobbett, who shipped his body back to England to build a proper memorial. Having not raised enough money for the shrine, the aforementioned Cobbett kept the bones in his attic, locked in a trunk until his death. The remains of Thomas Paine is still unknown.
Geronimo's Skull - The famous Apache chief's skull was supposedly stolen by the Skull and Bones secret society in 1918, and was put in a glass case at their headquarters. The ancestors of Geronimo tried suing the secret society in 2009, although, it was dismissed due to lack of evidence. However, in 2005, historian Marc Wortman discovered a 1918 letter between two members of the society, stating that, "the skull of the worthy Geronimo the Terrible, exhumed from its tomb at Fort Sill."
King Badu Bonsu II Head - Kind Badu Bonsu II was the kind of Ghana in 1838 when the Dutch were trying to take over the land for their own. He famously cut the heads off of two Dutch soldiers and hung them from his thrown. He himself was beheaded and the head remained lost for years until one day it resurfaced in a glass jar of formaldehyde in The Hague. Members of the Ahanta flew to The Hague to retrieve the head and take it back to Ghana, although not before performing a mourning ritual in with they spilled gin libations on the floor of the Foreign Ministry.
Mozart's Skull - Like many European graves of old, the bodies need to be cleared every once in a while to make room for new ones. Mozart was buried at St. Marx cemetery in Vienna and when it was time to move the grave in 1801, a music lover who worked for the cemetery took the skull of the musical genius. The skull was passed around Vienna for awhile until finally in 1902 it was donated to the Mozarteum museum, where it still lies today, however not on display.
Napoleon's Penis - Possibly one of the most famous body parts trying to be sold, was of former French military and political leader Napoleon Bonaparte. His penis was apparently cut off during his autopsy in Corsica and give to a priest. The penis has been said to resemble beef jerky or a shrunken eel by TIME magazine while it was on display in Manhattan in 1927. A wealthy urologist purchased the leader's little guy and kept it under his bed for nearly 30 years.
Anne Boleyn's Heart - This is more legend than actual facts, but it is said that after her execution, Anne Bolyn's heart was cut out and placed in a small heart shaped casket by Henry VIII. The heart is supposed to be in a secret alcove at a church in Suffolk, being found and buried under the organ of the church in 1836.
Mussolini's Brain - The brain of the fanatic fascist dictator showed up on eBay a few years ago, with the asking price of 13,000 euros. The website not allowing the sale of body parts, took it down a few hours after it had posted. No one is sure where the brain of Mussolini is real, he was shot and hung upside down in Milan with his mistress Claretta Petacci and the government did an autopsy, giving the family the body back in 1957. Who knows if this evil man's brain actually resides in some kooks house.
Thomas Paine - One of the founders of the United States, the man who actually wrote the phrase, "the United States of America", died a penniless drunk in Manhattan. 10 Years after his death his bones were dug up by William Cobbett, who shipped his body back to England to build a proper memorial.

5 Things About The Japanese Education System That Will Surprise and Inspire You
So you say you like Japanese culture, but you’re shocked to know that Japanese public school students eat lunch in the classroom with their teacher? Read on, then, to discover more commonly unknown facts about the Japanese education system.
1. No Exams for The First 3 Years of School
The theory about why Japanese students are not required to take exams until after fourth grade is that the Japanese value excellent manners. According to the Japanese culture, it’s more important to teach proper etiquette to young students than to focus the classroom energies on cramming for upcoming standardized tests. The underlying belief is that children’s character must be developed. Therefore, it’s best to avoid judgement students’ learning progress.
Developing respect for others is taught in the classroom. Students must show deference to each other and, of course, the teacher. Of utmost importance is the student-teacher relationship. Ostensibly, students who don’t want to disappoint their teachers won’t act out.
2. Not Janitors, But Students Clean The School

Japanese students have to clean up after themselves. They clean the classrooms and the bathrooms. The point is to teach students how to teamwork, share responsibility, and develop greater respect for taking care of things (not just people). Perhaps, the lesson here is that how students care for the place in which they learn reflects how the care for others. Opportunities to build character are not to be taken for granted.
The students are split into groups according to tasks. The groups rotate throughout the year, so each student gets experience with all of the tasks. When cleaning, students are divided into small groups and assigned tasks that rotate throughout the year.
3. Students Eat The Same, Balanced Meals
Aside from students with serious food allergies, Japanese students are served meals from a standardized menu. These aren’t just your average, American public school lunches, notorious for the poor nutrition, added sugars, and trans-fats. The Japanese teach their kids healthy eating from the get-go by prioritizing quality ingredients and realistic portions. Menus are a collaboration between healthcare professionals and trained chefs. Additionally, school lunches are largely made using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients.
Teachers eat lunch with their students, a practice that further solidifies the relationship between the students and teachers. Oftentimes, Japanese students serve lunch to one another as a way to distribute the responsibility of the well-being of the entire class.
4. Public Schools Teach Traditional Art
What is considered fundamental knowledge to the Japanese public school system goes far beyond the scope of the foundation identified by most American public schools. Japanese students are taught traditional arts like Shodo (書道、Japanese calligraphy) and haiku, a formal style of poetry. Shodo involves writing kanji and kana characters with a bamboo brush in ink on rice paper. The art requires language knowledge and help instill respect for cultural traditions. The craft of writing haiku works similarly to promote in students an awareness of and value for national, cultural traditions.
5. Japanese Students Wear School Uniforms

From junior high school on, almost all Japanese public schools require their students to wear uniforms. Standards vary, but many uniforms share the following aspects: military-style, black uniforms for the boys, and sailor blouse and skirt for girls. School uniforms are modest in color, cut and decoration.
As with all school-related standards, there is a point behind the uniform regulation. The idea is that when students wear the same outfits, they feel a greater sense of community. Also, any social stigmatization that come with outward appearance is lifted, allowing students to focus on learning. Some Japanese schools also have strict rules on accessories like backpacks, as well as makeup and even hairstyles.

Applying Vicks On Your Feet Can Clear Cough? Experts Explain
Vicks ointment has been used to treat cough and colds for many years. The vapor rub is mainly used on a person’s chest when they are suffering from a cold or even the flu. It has been put into steam vaporizers to help relieve a stuffed up nose and help us sleep better. Others have used the ointment on the outside of their nostrils to help clear up a sinus infection. A newer method of using the well known vapor rub is to apply it on the feet of the person with the cold. After the Vicks is spread over the feet, the person should put socks on.
Holistic practitioners have known for centuries that many ailments can be healed through the soles of the feet. Dr Anthony Weinert, a holistic foot specialist located in Michigan, believes that “health issues that can be discovered with holistic podiatry can range from nutritional imbalances or deficiencies in the body to noticing signs of changes in your feet that may indicate health conditions such as diabetes, fungal infections, cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure.” If all of these things can be cured through the feet, then the Vicks solution being applied on the sole of the foot to help with a cold makes sense.
Of course, there are many people out there that claim that using Vicks Vapor Rub on the feet will not help with a cold at all. There are just as many, if not more, believers out there that swear that it works to not just stop a cough, but it will actually cure a cold. Some experts believe that it may only work as a placebo, which is where the mind fools itself into believing it is working, so somehow it does. Placebo or not, if it works to stop the coughing, then why not try it.

What Will Happen When You No Longer Go To The “Top 10 Attractions”
1. You’ll do less cramming and planning, and do more relaxing and having fun.
Sure a full itinerary seems exciting before you reach your destination. Planning is half the fun right? But once you arrive at your destination, you’ll find yourself over-scheduled and overwhelmed. How can you possibly see everything and do everything in the time that you have? Short answer: you can’t. So let it go, and just focus on seeing the city or town you’re in. Spend your first day in any city simply by being there. Soak up that feeling of being somewhere new, being away from work, your city, and being carefree. Eat different stuff. Talk to strangers. Stop and really see things and their beauty.
2. You’ll have time to search out some authentic local experiences rather than visiting places that have been so completely tourist-ized.
Staying away from the most major tourist attractions will also put you in places where more locals are (since they stay away from crowded spots with long lines when at all possible). For instance, staying at an agriturismo or monastery in a small town in Italy, often yields a far more unique and rewarding experience than staying at an expensive hotel in an area crowded with tourists. Moreover, by staying in places a bit off the beaten path, you’ll be able to visit places and take photos without as many people photo bombing all your candid shots.
3. You’ll eat better and drink better.
The farther away you stray from the main sights, the better the quality and prices get. Forget plastic menus with photos and low quality food churned out by the bucket to appease un-discerning tourist palates. Head for the shrinking price-tags and dishes you can’t pronounce to get a real taste of the country or city you’re visiting. For example: When I was in Croatia, I befriended a local restaurant owner and asked his advice for great seafood spots (we were in Dubrovnik). He recommended I get away from Dubrovnik completely (overall lackluster restaurants with high price-tags), and visit the nearby small village of Ston (and it’s counterpart Mali-Ston). He had some friends who ran an unofficial ‘restaurant’ from their house. What followed was the best meal I had during my three week vacation in Croatia. Six courses of seafood pulled straight from the sea, a stunning view, no crowds, and a price tag that was a 1/3 of the price my friend and I would’ve paid for 1/2 as much at any restaurant in Dubrovnik. Plus we stumbled across an amazing crumbling 15th century wall and stairs, that led up over mountains on the way back to Dubrovnik. That’s a day we’ll never forget, and we’d never have known those places existed without throwing away our guidebooks and just chatting with the locals.
4. To be able to truly say that you have ‘experienced’ a place, it is important to meet and talk with locals and discover things for yourself.
Rather than walk blindly from place to place following your guide book, walk the streets, grab coffee or drinks at random bars, and get lost. Discover things you weren’t looking for. Seeing the same things every person sees, and having no memories other than racing to and from top attractions, standing in lines, buying tickets, and then taking too many unnecessary photos, isn’t the best way to create true and lasting memories. Dare to veer away from the crowds and figure things out on your own. Get lost in a pitcher of good wine on a sunny porch and find yourself leaving a place with only a photo or two of the landscape– only because you had such a good time you forgot, for once, to pose in front of everything. Live.
