Travel Site!!!!

Ola pessoal!!!

E ai, alguem pensando em fazer uma viagem????

Bem, o Hady, meu marido, resolveu investir em um site de viagem... Estavamos querendo comecar um negocio onde eu pudesse trabalhar, mesmo que em casa, e que pudessemos ganhar uma $$$, foi quando ele encontrou essa oportunidade... A minha primeira acao foi ver a aceitacao do site e dos valores oferecidos, entao fui em algumas comunidades do Orkut e passei o link pedindo a opiniao. A resposta nao poderia ser melhor. Como nas comunidades todos sao brasileiros e a maioria vivendo no Brasil, achei que os precos nao seriam bem aceitos, mas o feedback foi otimo.

Por isso resolvi dividir isso com voces, pois sei que a maioria dos meus amigos blogueiros sao pessoas que gostam ou necessitam viajar muito, sendo assim, seria uma oportunidade para todos de encontrarem precos mais em conta....

Este eh o link para o site http://bestdealstoday.globaltravel.com/

Gostaria que vcs dessem uma olhada e a opiniao. Caso se interessem por algo basta entrar em contato comigo ou com meu marido... Vou fixar o site nos meus links tb, pois caso alguem quera a irformacao mais pra frente fica bem facil de achar...

Abracos para todos

The History Of The Canadian Tulip Festival

Queen Juliana of the Netherlands 1909 - 2004 The Canadian Tulip Festival pays tribute to Queen Juliana who will always be remembered in a special way for her Gift of Tulips to the Canadian people. Thanks to her, the Tulip Legacy holds a very important place in Canadian history and is particularly celebrated by Ottawa and Gatineau residents. She is, in many ways, responsible for the creation of the Canadian Tulip Festival.

The 2004 Festival featured a Tribute to Queen Juliana Tulip Bed in Commissioners Park, at the corner of Queen Elizabeth Driveway and Preston Street.

A celebration founded on friendship

The 2003 edition of the Canadian Tulip Festival celebrated Australia's tulips and its tulip festival - Canberra's Floriade with the theme: "Tulips Down Under - G'day Australia." The Australian High Commissioner, His Excellency Tony Hely, served as the Tulip Festival's honorary president.

The Canadian Tulip Festival has grown into the largest tulip festival in the world from a gift of thanks given five decades ago. In the fall of 1945, Princess Juliana of the Netherlands presented Ottawa with 100,000 tulip bulbs. The gift was given in appreciation of the safe haven which Holland's exiled royal family received during the Second World War and in recognition of the role which Canadian troops played in liberating the Netherlands.

The tulips have become an important symbol of international friendship and the beauty of spring. They also have special meaning to the people of Canada's Capital Region. During the war, the Dutch royal family was hosted at Government House in Ottawa. Princess Margriet was born at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. The floral gift that began in 1945 has established this region as "The Tulip Capital of North America".

A few years after the Dutch tulips arrived in 1945, they became a strong attraction. Stunning pictures were appearing in newspapers nationwide. More and more events began to centre around the annual bloom of tulips.

The first Canadian Tulip Festival was held in 1953. The Ottawa Board of Trade, at the suggestion of world renowned photographer Malak Karsh whose photographs have immortalized the tulip, formalized the Canadian Tulip Festival to coincide with the tulip's annual bloom. In the next 10 years the Festival grew in size, with a staggering display of over two million flowers.

Each spring, the National Capital Commission (NCC) is the official 'guardian' and designer of the national capital's gardens by managing the colourful splendour and stunning display of millions of tulips, creating a magnificent backdrop for the Canadian Tulip Festival. The NCC is responsible for many of the impressive flower beds and green spaces found throughout the region located on Parliament Hill, along Confederation Boulevard and the Capital's scenic parkways and recreational pathways, in front of national museums and institutions and along the historic Rideau Canal.

The most spectacular display of tulips is found in Commissioners Park, the official site of the Canadian Tulip Festival located at Dows Lake and near the Rideau Canal, where the NCC plants more than 300,000 tulips each year. Commissioners Park is also home of the Tulip Legacy Exhibit, an exhibit implemented by the NCC explaining the history of the Dutch Royal Family's refuge during the World War II and the contribution of Canadian troops in the liberation of the Netherlands in 1944-45.

Here are some highlights from the Festival's proud history:

Prime Minister John Diefenbaker presides over the Opening Ceremonies (1958).

Prime Minister Diefenbaker, Governor General Vanier and U.S. President John F. Kennedy meet for talks during Tulip Month (1961).

Princess Margriet of the Netherlands returns to Ottawa to officially open the Festival which celebrates the good relations between her country and Canada through the twin themes of "The Friendship That Flowered" and the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Holland (1995).

The Canadian Tulip Festival's Floral Tribute to Nice and its Bataille de fleurs, the grandaddy of all floral celebrations (1996).

Canadian Tulip Festival celebrated the Floral Artistry of Japan with a spotlight on the Festival's friendship partner, the Tonami Tulip Fair (1997).

A Celebration of Canada's Provinces & Territories shared the gifts of the tulip and friendship with all of Canada. Entertainment from 27 festivals across Canada was featured at the Canadian Tulip Festival (1998).

"Between Friends", a celebration of the unique friendship between the United States and Canada, twinning with the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, was one of the most successful festivals ever (1999).

Tulips 2000 - A Capital Celebration! was a special millennium floral showcase for floral designers from 20 capital cities around the world and featured the blooming of over two million additional tulips planted as part of the Millennium Tulip Challenge.

Tulips Forever! A salute to Britain, was a celebration of Britain's tulip history and world-renowned gardens. It featured a Tulip Twinning Ceremony between the Canadian Tulip Festival and the Spalding Flower Parade, Britain's largest tulip festival (2001).

Tulipmania! Tulips like you've never seen them before. The Canadian Tulip Festival celebrated its 50th Anniversary with the creation of Tulipmania throughout the new Cities of Ottawa and Gatineau (2002).

The Canadian Tulip Festival is a 50 year tradition attended by people from throughout North America, Europe and Asia. The event, which grew from a Dutch gift of friendship, has become the world's largest Tulip Festival and Canada's most colourful event.

Ola pessoal... Nossa ja tem quase 2 semanas q nao apareco... Mas foi falta de inspiracao mesmo... Por aqui anda tudo indo bem. O inverno chegando ao fim, soh temos um vestigio de neve descongelando, as temperaturas subindo, dias mais longos e o sol brilhando praticamente todos os dias.... E nao posso esquecer a quantidade de amigos que chegaram nesse meio tempo soh nesse final de semana foram 5, a Luly e o Wan, a Mari e o Anderson, e o Cleber (ainda esperando a amada vir).... Que sejam todos benvindos as Canada, espero q sejam muitos felizes.....

Nessa semana tive q separar toda a documentacao para o pedido de extensao de visto, ja eh a segunda vez e eu gostaria q fosse a ultima, mas nao sei nao.... Enquanto o processo nao acaba tenho q ficar pedindo a extensao a cada 6 meses, com isso ele ficam ganhano $$$ em cima da gente, mas fazer o q, ne? Amanha estou mandando tudo. Resolvi pedir com 1 mes e meio de antecedencia, ja q da outra vez eles nao foram capazes de evitir um visto em 1 mes, apesar desse ser o prazo de antecedencia q eles mesmos pedem qdo enviamos tudo... E melhor previnir do q remediar.. Nesse caso, ficar sem permissao de permanencia por alguns dias...

Tenho feito minhas visitas aos blogs amigos praticamente todos os dias, mas sei la, eh impressao minha ou ta todo mundo meio parado mesmo????

Qto ao Rob Thomas, recebi muitos comentarios dizendo q nao conheciam ele... Entao resolvi colocar uma fotinha e uma musiquinha para voces.... Mas de qq forma vou tentar reavivar a memoria... Ele cantou com o Santana a musica "Smooth"... Tb tinha aquela musiquinha da novela Mulheres Apaixonadas "Disease" (Matchbox 20)....

Eh uma fotinha antiga mas quem conheceu nessa epoca ira reconhece-lo, agora ele esta de cabelo raspadinho... Hehehehehe

Aqui vai uma musiquinha...

Lonely No More

Now it seems to me

That you know just what to say

But words are only words

Can you show me something else

Can you swear to me

That you’ll always be this way

Show me how you feel

More than ever, baby

I don’t wanna be lonely no more

I don’t wanna have to pay for this

I don’t want another lover at my door

It’s just another heartache on my list

I don’t wanna be angry no more

You do know I could never stand for this

So when you tell me that you love me, know for sure

I don’t wanna be lonely anymore

Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh

Now it’s hard for me

When my heart’s still on the mend

Open up to me

Like you do your girlfriends

And you sing to me and it’s harmony

Girl, what you do to me is everything

Make me say anything just to get you back again

Why can’t we just try

I don't wanna be lonely no more...

What if I was good to you?

What if you were good to me?

What if I could hold you till

I feel you move inside of me?

What if it was paradise?

What if we were symphonies?

What if I gave all my life

To find some way to stand beside you?

I don't wanna be lonely no more....

E ai, ja sabem quem eh agora????

Bem, amanha vou estar falando sobre um site que eu e o Hady estamos trabalhando, para adiantar eh um site sobre viagem, mas explico melhor amanha e coloco o link....

Bjks para todos e aparecam

Aniversario de Namoro e Show do Rob Thomas

Ola Pessoal,

Ontem eu e o Hady comemoramos 3 anos de namoro e para celebrar fomos ao sho do Rob Thomas... Foi um presente MARAVILHOSO...

Adoro esse homem, e o Hady aprendeu a gostar dele de tanto que eu escuto.... O show foi o maximo, ele eh muito fofo e simpatico. Durante o show e corre, pula, danca, rebola, conta piada, ate dizer pra baixar uma das musicas dele na internet ele falou... Nao tinha muita gente, na verdade estava bem vazio, acho que isso fez com que fosse ainda melhor... A gente foi de pista, nao ficamos muito longe (se comparado ao Bryan Adams), dava para ver ele perfeitamente, sem telao nem nada, na verdade eles nem colocaram telao.. O unico problema, eh que como sou nanica, as cabecas me atrapalhavaram um pouco, mas nada que nao valesse a pena estar la....

Olha foi a realizacao de um sonho... A primeira vez que o vi foi num clipe com o Santana, "Smooth", dali pra ca foi soh alegria.... Mas sabia que a possibilidade de ve-lo no Brasil era remota, qdo cheguei no Canada ficava soh acompanhando para ver qdo ele estaria aqui, e nao deu outra...

Parece ate coisa de tiete, ne? Mas nao gripo nem chora... Fico en extase, hehehehehhe, canto, danco..... Adorei, e ja conto os dias para poder ve-lo novamente...

Aqui vai uma fotinha do show... Vou colocar mais no album... Tb tenho dois videos, mas nao sei como colocar, se alguem souber me ensina que ai eu posso compartilhar um pouco com vcs...

Bjks para todos
