Now you might ask: Why, dear Phil? Why, mr Vaca Louca? WHY?
And I answer you: My own convenience! I was just connecting all my accounts around the internet (Google Account, YouTube, Blogger, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, etc) and I couldn't cuz I created a new Google account to use a better address on Gmail cuz the other one was just too stupid! I created just to use orkut 5 years ago, never thought it would be phagocytosed by Google, and well, my Gmail was something soo dumbass...
Ok, now you know the reason! You just have to follow the new blog and unfollow this one (;
Hello everyone! Long time since my last post uh? Sorry about that, I'm in a really not easy moment actually, trying to make some choices, trying to find my way...
Anyway, I know you don't wanna know that, right? Jajaja
About the title? Well, last sunday I shared with the church about the end of this ministry. Not easy to finish something you watched growing, lived with...
Shine Style still is part of my life, I still love dancing and I learned there! I'm not gonna write anything else today, just gonna copy the letter I wrote to the church (actually I wrote but with everyone helping me). After all, a video I made a couple of years ago, hope you enjoy it (:
Carta de Phil, representando a comunidade Shine Styliana, à Igreja Metodista Livre da Saúde:
“Para tudo há uma ocasião certa, há um tempo certo para cada propósito debaixo do céu:
Tempo de nascer e tempo de morrer,
Tempo de plantar e tempo de colher,
Tempo de matar e tempo de curar,
Tempo de derrubar e tempo de construir,
Tempo de chorar e tempo de rir,
Tempo de chorar e tempo de dançar.”
Tempo de treinar e tempo de apresentar,
Tempo de dançar e tempo de se aquietar,
Mas sempre tempo de brilhar e nunca tempo de apagar.
Com Eclesiastes 3 podemos começar a explicar um pouco da história do Shine Style, assim como toda história teve começo, meio e fim. Mas não como um fim num livro que será fechado, guardado e esquecido, mas sim como o fim de um capítulo e o começo de outro. Como o primeiro livro do Harry Potter, onde o final da Pedra Filosofal apenas abre as portas para o início da Câmara Secreta.
Pensar que tudo começou sem querer, ainda lembro que num domingo uma tal de Keyla, que também se chama Panny nos finais de semana, me perguntando se queria aprender street dance! Quem imaginaria que a partir daí seria o início de uma história incrível?
Marquinhos, Digão e Massaki pensavam em algo parecido e começaram arrastando os móveis num quarto na casa do Knhz pra ter um espaço pra treinar, mas o início de tudo foi numa tarde de sexta-feira na IMeL, onde estavam Knhz, Digão, Massaki, Panny, Espelhinho e Sayuri, que tiveram a vontade de começar um grupo de dança por diversão e passar mais tempo juntos!
Começamos nos encontrando nos sábados às 10h da manhã na IMeL Saúde, não tínhamos noção do que iríamos encontrar! Não éramos todos exatamente íntimos, mas um pouco depois nos tornaríamos irmãos inseparáveis! Tudo podia acontecer durante a semana, mas aquele momento do sábado estava separado e nada podia tirar aquele tempo de nós! A dança foi um pretexto pra estarmos juntos, fazíamos o almoço e dávamos risadas, fomos ao parque Ibirapuera andar de bicicleta e fazer piquenique, treinar le parkour e mortal. Dentro da casa do Pai sentíamo-nos em casa, cada um sentia-se acolhido e, sem perceber, acolhia o irmão. Não nos sentíamos bem porque éramos legais, mas porque o amor de Deus era refletido na vida de cada um.
Talvez as primeiras intenções das pessoas que entravam no Shine não fossem as mais certas e talvez o foco não fosse Deus! Algumas vezes a pessoa nem conhecia Deus! Ir à igreja era uma rotina ou então não era nem uma rotina, era algo inexistente! Algumas pessoas nem eram tão fãs da dança, e mesmo assim, na imensa criatividade do Pai, mudanças eram feitas de maneira especial e singular em cada vida lá presente! Os que já O conheciam, mas estavam longe, eram trazidas mais pra perto dEle e os que ainda não O conheciam eram apresentados à Ele! E Deus usava as pessoas pra isso! Ele nos usava! Amigos eram usados pra apresentar um novo amigo que valia a pena: Jesus! Olha a honra, poder ser usado na obra do Pai e fazendo algo que nós gostávamos!
Os que eram novos na fé tiveram um espaço pra conhecerem mais um pouco da boa, perfeita e agradável vontade de Deus! Tornar-se mais íntimo do Criador, poder entender mais do amor dAquele que nos amou primeiro! Conhecer pessoas que num futuro próximo seriam irmãos na caminhada, que nos levantariam se caíssemos!
Passamos por momentos de turbulência, troca de líderes e conflito de mentes pensantes. Éramos adolescentes, não queríamos que cuidassem de nós, achamos ser independentes e capazes de superar aquilo sem a mão dos adultos. Olho pra trás hoje e vejo que erramos, eu como líder na época, errei. Olho pra trás e vejo que nunca fomos cortados pela igreja, mas sempre cuidados. O amor do Pai era tão grande que pessoas que nem dançavam se levantaram para cuidar dos Seus filhos, saíram de suas zonas de conforto pra cuidar dos amados filhos de Deus! Imaginem, o que o Hugo e o Nilton estavam fazendo no meio daquele monte de adolescentes dançantes? Eu jamais poderia acreditar que aquilo fosse nos ajudar, mas ajudou! E eles não estavam lá porque eram mais crentes ou mais gospel que a gente, mas porque o Pai os colocou lá! Foi o primeiro ministério em que se envolveram dentro da Saúde, e mesmo com as muitas idades de distância, foram acolhidos!
Hoje podemos ver frutos vivos desse trabalho na comunidade, foi tempo de pessoas conhecerem ao Pai e também de outras que eram novas na fé firmarem raízes na igreja. Ficávamos mais perto de Deus, nossa intimidade com Ele era maior!
Crescemos vendo a igreja crescendo, a primeira apresentação que fizemos nem tinha taco no chão do salão superior, numa outra já tinha taco, mas não estava envernizado, na última tinha taco, palco e já estava tudo envernizado!
Apresentamos inúmeras vezes, conforme o tempo ia passando, novas apresentações surgiam! Dentro da comunidade no culto de louvor e adoração, no antigo intermediário e hoje ABCDeus, HipHop4GOD, festas do sorvete, Açaideiras, colégios...
Nossa primeira apresentação fora da comunidade foi no Colégio Cardeal Motta, onde o Marquinhos estudava e eu estudei depois. Ficamos na correria de fazer uniformes, compramos camisetas brancas e tintas pra tecido e fizemos nossas próprias camisetas na mão! Depois evoluímos e resolvemos mandar fazer os uniformes, dando início aos pontinhos laranja no meio do yakissoba: Shine in Box!
Estávamos em meio à colônia japonesa de São Paulo, onde o que importava era ser o melhor, dançar melhor e saber mais que o outro, mas podíamos mostrar que pro Pai, o que importava era o nosso coração! Com o nosso coração nEle, a nossa dedicação, esforço e crescimento eram apenas conseqüências!
Dividimos o palco e vestimos o mesmo uniforme muitas vezes, e com certeza Jesus estava no meio de nós! O palco não era espaço pra nossa dança, mas sim para o amor de Deus refletido em nós para aqueles que nos assistiam.
O Shine não era apenas o grupo de dança, mas um grupo de irmãos, uma grande família! Quando íamos sair juntos, a referência que era dada quando os pais ou tios da igreja perguntavam com quem íamos sair era: “- Vou sair com o pessoal do Shine!”. Tinham até gente de outras igrejas conosco.
Lembro que um grupão teve que se programar por conta de uma apresentação do Shine, não porque todos iam dançar, mas porque muitos queriam assistir!
Tudo parece que fluía bem, mas o tempo não parou, assim como nós não deixamos de crescer e envelhecer! Podemos dizer que o vestibular muda a vida das pessoas, afinal é quando escolhemos o que estudaremos e trabalharemos por um longo período da vida. Não foi diferente com a vida do Shine, adolescentes que iam ficando jovens, o tal do vestiba chegava e tínhamos que dedicar mais, ou começar a dedicar, nosso tempo aos estudos. Alguns tinham aulas aos sábados, enquanto outros já entravam na faculdade e também tinham novas prioridades. Talvez esse tenha sido o principal fator que iniciou o fim da nossa dança.
Paramos de dançar juntos, mas o Shine foi e continua sendo um ministério na vida de cada um que permanece na igreja. Ainda nos sentimos acolhidos dentro da igreja e acolhemos os que chegam, saímos juntos, damos risadas e conversamos, não porque dançamos, mas porque Cristo continua trabalhando nas nossas vidas e tem nos usado pra alcançar aqueles que ainda não O conhecem.
A dança ainda é paixão para alguns de nós, como eu, Renan e Peixa, por exemplo, continua fazendo parte na nossa vida, mas eu posso dizer por mim que já não tenho mais o mesmo fôlego e força de antes, como algum cara famoso já disse antes: perdi pro meu corpo.
O Shine talvez seja parecido com diversos grupos dentro da comunidade, sejam ministérios ou células de estudos, onde as pessoas estão juntas pelo sangue de Cristo Jesus, que morreu por cada um de nós e nos permite conhecer pessoas incríveis em lugares onde nos sentimos amados e acolhidos. Apesar de olharmos pra trás e podermos ver várias coisas maravilhosas e muito loucas, não fomos perfeitos, não éramos livre de tropeços. Erramos durante a nossa jornada, mas Deus sempre cuidou de nós, colocando pessoas pra nos darem o suporte necessário.
Esperamos que o Shine possa ser um exemplo a ser visto por outros grupos, mas que não terminem, por favor! Permitam que o amor do Pai flua na vida de vocês para que outras vidas possam ser resgatadas, que outras pessoas possam sentir o amor dAquele que nos amou primeiro.
Termino com um trecho da carta eletrônica de Nilton, que disse:
“Durou o tempo que devia durar, vieram as pessoas que deviam vir.”
Em Cristo,
Uma dentre as mais ou menos, provavelmente mais, 57 pessoas que passaram pelo Shine,
Geez, long time I posted here for the last, huh? Really sorry, if someone mind about it...hahaha
Just a quickly post! What about? Check it out (:
That is it!
Do you believe in that? I really do! Are you doing something to make it a lil bit closer to the possible?
Wanna know something? I believe it is possible and also that every single person in this crazy world is loved by someone, who is called God! The one who gave His only son because of our sins! My mistakes, your mistakes!
I just turn on my notebook or TV and just read and watch lots of bad news around the world! Natural disasters, bad politicians and violence, where is this world going? Where is God? Why is it all happening?
I DON'T KNOW!
The only thing I know is: He has a purpose over it all!
Maybe now is time to Japan realize that even being so intelligent, they cannot be like God. They need Him and maybe that's what He is saying!
Hello everyone! How are you doing? I'm a bit worried, but fine as well!
Why is that worry about? Well, actually it is basically cuz even in my holidays I have lots of things to do...I cannot say it is boring, I am worried because I don't know how it is gonna finish! I don't know what God is planning to this Camping, I wish I could know all this, but I don't...well, maybe it is better, maybe I wouldn't comprehend His plans...
Today was an awesome day! I cried! Geez, I cannot remember when was the last time I cried! Wanna know why? Well, actually it was not just because just one single thing, but lots of...
Cried for me and also for the others, cried for some people I've never seen before, cried for things I had cried before and thought I would never cry again...
Ok, forget it! Hahahaha
Wanna know about the title? Did you realized the title is in portuguese and the text is in english? I wouldn't! I would read the title and the text and would not mind se começasse a aparecer some text in portuguese! Actually it is because both línguas are walking and talking in my head! Sometimes, used to happen when I am angry, I start to think in english, and not in portuguese! I don't know why, but it happens! English is not even my native language! Well, I think english is much easier and simple than portuguese! Deeply easier to express how I feel and what I want! Maybe that is the reason I started to write in english, it's way easier! Maybe I'm writing in english for laziness and not cuz I'm practicing! Jajajaja
Ok, let me try again...wanna know about the title? If you thought I got 30, you are deeply WRONG! HAHAHAHA, I'm 20 now (:
Wanna know how do I feel about that? I will answer you! N O T H I N G!
Yeah, I am just the same! I received lots of messages on Facebook and one of the messages was:
Vaca louca!!!!!!!!!
Parabeeeeeeeeeeeensss.. tudo de melhor ai pra vc!!
Que vc seja menos zuado com mais esse ano de vida (oq eu duvido, mas nao custa desejar ne) huauaauau
Well...I don't think I will exactly the same but I really feel the same! I swear, nothing change! No magic, no pain! A friend of mine told me something I started to think about...she told me "One year less!". I know it is just a joke, but it is right! Each year I complete is a year over! Geez...that is sad! Hahahaha
To all of you who sent me messages, I am really really thankful! I really appreciate the time you spent to send me a message! All I can say is: Thank you very much! (: I wish I could hug all of you, if you did not give me a hug, you can do it anytime! Won't expire, I promise! (:
Ok, enough for today? Enjoy some pics and videos!
This is from the zoo! (:
Another one from zoo!
And this is from...yeah, you are right! From the zoo!
Hello everyone! Today I'm gonna write in portuguese cuz it's about something that happened to me today and I really want you to know how exactly it was...so, here I go!
Hoje eu ligay pra TIM pra ativar um pacote de mensagens SMS e a atendente que agora eu sei porque é atendente de call center e que continuará nessa, ou pior, por um bom tempo super inteligente disse:
"Só um momento senhor."
E esqueceu ou não sabia porque provavelmente deve achar que quando não se está usando o super apetrecho ele simplesmente para de funcionar! de deixar o microfone no mute, aí eu só ouvi um tititi e várias vozes femininas fofocando falando:
"Acho que você não merece ficar com ele."
E coisas do tipo...E eu calmamente entenda puto dizendo:
"VOCÊ TÁ CONVERSANDO ENQUANTO ME ATENDE? FAZ LOGO MEU PEDIDO E CONVERSA DEPOIS CARAmbolas!"
Mas a graciosa imbecil atentende não estava com o fone, e quando ela colocou as budegas nas orelhas eu gentilmente perguntei gritei:
"MANO, VC TÁ MESMO CONVERSANDO OU É SÓ IMPRESSÃO MINHA?"
E a moça mocoronga, desgraçada, incompetente tem a coragem pra mim é muito mais burrice do que coragem de responder:
"Ah, eram as meninas aqui do lado."
...
...
...
...
Pausa pra abrir um parênteses...
(O que será que passa ou não passa na cabeça provavelmente vazia de uma pessoa um animal que diz uma coisa dessas? Como ter amor por uma pessoa que fez isso com você? Como acreditar que infelizmente isso não é anormal no mundo de hoje? Se isso nunca aconteceu com vocês, POR QUE ACONTECEU COMIGO?)
E eu na minha maior calma possível com vontade depassar uma folha sulfite entre os dedos das mãos e dos pés, martelar o dedinho do pé, queimar os cabelos e só pra terminar bem, dar uma voadora na cara da cruz-credo, disse:
"PARA DE CONVERSAR E TERMINA LOGO MEU ATENDIMENTO! FALA COM AS 'MENINAS' DEPOIS POxavida."
Ela terminou a porcaria do negócio que nem eu lembrava mais o que eu tinha pedido e quando ela terminou eu gentilmente ironicamente comentei:
"Pronto, pode ir conversar com as meninas agora."
E desligay...
Hell yeah, this story is real and happened to me just today! I have the name, but I think it is just fake, and also the protocol number, but of course I won't write it here (:
Well, comment if you want to!

Hallo leute! This is an old post I was writing but I had to go to somewhere to do something and well, did not finish this nutty story! Haha, hope you enjoy!
Oooooooooe, wazzup guys! Geez, I just returned from a crazy trip I had with my dad to Argentina and Uruguay, BY CAR!
It was AWESOME, even the final result being FAILED, it was unutterable! All this insanity started in São Bernardo do Campo, on saturday at 1:30 pm I guess...we were planning this trip kinda one week before, but it was not confirmed till this time cuz we were plannin to go on sunday and return on tuesday! The purpose to all this madness was to take a sample of some kind of beans in Buenos Aires, and if everything got ok, Brazil would start to buy those seeds from Argentina to produce it in Brazil, well, ok...but by airplane it would not work, because it was a big amount of seeds to carry...so, we had to try by earth!
We decided to go on sat, but it was already sat...it was kinda 1:30 pm and we decided to just organize our stuff and take a lil nap to go asap! We left home nearly by 3:45 am, I was still not believin I was gonna help my pa to do that...I don't even speak spanish as well! My spanish is kinda basis on basic! I am just able to understand everything, but Im bit slow to answer things, and also my vocabulary is not so good...haha, nuts!
Ok, we crossed south of Brazil, crossed Santa Catarina under a very heavy unstoppable rain, crossed Rio Grande do Sul and just stopped a few kilometers of the frontier, slept for a few hours in a hotel in Uruguaiana - Rio Grande do Sul acreditem, a cidade da fronteira do Brasil com Argentina chama Uruguaiana...hahaha, had a good coffee and tried to go to Argentina, but we had to return cuz we didn't have kinda insurance green card to join there...ok, we were lucky and took it in a couple of hours, and finally got into the tierra de nuestros hermanos! The policemen stopped us for SIX times, just because we were from Brazil, in a brazilian car...well, let me tell you something really cool, somebody maybe brazilian trolled the argentines for ever! LOL
The reason? Well, I'm quite sure they don't follow their laws, but they should carry two triangles I am not really sure if they call that as triangles in english, but never mind! I know you got it cuz you, who is reading my blog, might be brazilian! Hahahaha, a 1st aid kit and a steel rope to tow someone (?). Well, I googled it when we were in Brazil and also found we had to carry two white sheets to put on supposed victims of accidents, and hell yeah, I thought it was an absurd and it really was! We got into the argentine consulate to ask the veracity of those informations and they gave us a document which was written:
THERE IS NO LAW IN ARGENTINA WHICH OBLIGATES YOU TO CARRY TWO WHITE SHEETS
LOL, someone created this bullshit and now everyone asks to them, so they had to create a doc to warn everyone it is a LIE! SUCK THAT, ARGENTINA! (;
A funny video to break this long text (:
Well, those dirty policemen fined us in almost R$150,00 cuz we did not have two triangles...bah, we just paid the fine and left, we know they were trying to get some money from us, but I will NEVER give money to them, all I would tell them is "BURN IN HELL, YOUR ASSHOLE!", ok, maybe that's not the best I could say but that's what I'd like to...
Ok, we returned to the road and stopped in a gas station and bought another triangle and the 1st aid kit and the steel rope, well, you can check our shoppings just under the text! (:
The road till Buenos Aires was not so calm, the policemen stopped us maybe a couple of times after the fine, but we were using the last one as a excuse, hoping they feel a bit of...mercy maybe! Hahaha, well, we got into Buenos Aires and found the hotel we would stay, left our things, took a shower and gone to a bar to have a good beer...well, I really have to say I've never had such a good conversation with my dad! Well, maybe God was just planning this trip to give us that single moment! Ok, maybe not just THAT moment, but this whole travel! We talked a lot well, if we had just kept the silence during almost 5000 km, that would be the worst-crazy-nuts-travel-by-car-from-São-Bernardo-to-Buenos-Aires-in-a-Uno-Mille EVER! Hahah
In the next day we took the seeds and started to go home yeah, we stayed there just one day! CRAZY, I know...
After that, on the road again, but still close to Buenos Aires, the policemen were already stopping us again...hell yeah, we knew they would not allow us to go in peace back to Brazil...well, we were stopped by 3 times I guess when we stopped to put some gas in the car and have a coffee when we decided to get out of Argentina ASAP! We checked it on the internet and saw we were just a few kilometers from Uruguay, and we remade our planning and took the way to Uruguay!
When we got to the border, they did not allow us to join in Uruguay with those seeds, and well, when we just stopped the car to give the documents to them I saw a very big and readable board, which was telling to all the people able to read that was not allowed to exchange nourishing things! Ok, in this moment I saw God telling me we would not bring those seeds to Brazil!
When we took off all the seeds, we felt much better, we were so relieved! After that our journey become way better, in Uruguay we were not stopped! Not even once! I'm not complaining about that, it's just an observation! (:
We bought a GPS in Argentina cuz we didn't know anything about that country, and it was way easier to go to anywhere! And there was the map of Uruguay there, thats helped us a lot to choose this way to go home, and well, we just putted the address of the city which was the border to Brazil and we were just goin in this direction...when we were close to there, we started to saw some boarders about the custom between Brazil and Uruguay, and we were following them and also checking on the GPS...but the GPS was always losing his signal and it was already late...we decided to sleep in a hotel and take our way back just in the morning, when we found a hotel, I just started asking about the price in spanish, well, believe me, it's not that hard! Hahaha and the attendant was talking to me in a very similar accent...kinda south brazilian portuguese! Bah, WE WERE ALREADY IN BRAZIL! Thats why the GPS was failing! lol
In the morning we walked a lil bit and we saw that there was no frontier! It was just a small square with the flags for you, to take a picture!
That place was an absurd, kinda opened sky duty free! Lots of things being sold without taxes! We joined in Uruguay several times, and also to Brazil as well...we had our lunch in Uruguay and after that gone to Porto Alegre, our next and last, and I can't forget to say: our best pit stop...
We stopped in Porto Alegre in my uncle's place, I never visited him and his family, they always go to São Paulo and nobody goes to Porto Alegre! Of course it is way easier if they go cuz they are just four! You have to agree with me now, we were so close to them and we HAD to stop there! Even if it was just to say hello! my dad was not planning this, but I begged him so much that he finally surrendered!
Well, all the moments were awesome, unfortunately my cousin was not there cuz she was in Rio to make the things about her visa to London, but I could enjoy some good and unique moments with my cousin! We played Wii and another game on a arcade, before having dinner, in the restaurant!
I also talked a lot with my uncle, well, I can call him as a really nice friend, not just an uncle! (:
In the next day we woke up, had breakfast with my uncle and his family and returned to São Bernardo...our final destination! I was sooooooo tired, I drove just for a few hours, my dad finished the journey when we finally got home. We just parked the car, locked the gate and lied each one in its own bed...we were really exausted!
Well, thats my story! It IS true and I KNOW IT WAS AN INSANITY! Hahahaha, hope you enjoy this with me!
Some people were following all this in my twitter!
You might be askin why the title is "Las Malvinas son Argentinas" if I didn't mention anything about something about this! Well, during the road, we found lots of boards with this phrase! I know it is nuts, I really thought they were idiots to put those things, spending public money to do it...if you don't believe me, just write the title on Google Images! You will find this:
Cool, isn't? Well, maybe they were bothering us cuz I'm british! Well, we will never know, but I would not discuss if that was the reason! Hahahah
Here goes another good videos and some pics! Enjoy it and comment if possible (:
Funny and nuts japanese dancers! Hahaha
A nice A Cappella!
A pic from the border of Brazil and Uruguay!
This is in a house of a friend of mine, in Guaratuba, really close to the beach (:
