Once upon a time in a far away land…… this is the line that i always heard when someone was giving us a story telling….. When i was a kid, my language teacher will give us a story telling every friday…. In those days, I’ve heard the story of Cinderella, of Sleeping Beauty, of the Beauty and the Beast and Snow White… All these story was all about Princesses who are so humble and waiting for their Prince. Known to be a Royal Prince. A blue blooded white man, young with blue eyes and blond hair…. and when i grew up, these stories faded…. change to finding Neverland of Peter pan, the aminated cartoons and some japanese tvs astroboy, Bioman and Shaider…. teenager years, I never thought of anything about these since i came to Spain. The Royal monarchy exist…. Prince Felipe married to Princess Leticia….. And my eyes saw and live with it. I have been there while the known to be Princess wedding cars passing along the street…… And now at 2011. The son of the late Lady Diana’ wedding today…. So then I realised that every dream when your a kid will still come true… It’s not that we are waiting for our Prince or Princess or we live in a Castle or Palace,the important thing is still keep on dreaming, besides its Priceless…
To Prince William and Catherine Middleton… Congratulations–
Yesterday i was looking at some stuff at home and some notebooks. I saw this red covered like thickler of mine. I wrote here some of my daily journals and also i wrote here some short stories that i was so inspired of the situations and it depends as well the day and the mood. So i am sharing you some of it. Excerpt from the red diary.
It was August 20,2010 when Carlos and Nelson meet after a summer break when Carlos went to Italy. Nelson was so happy to meet Carlos so he can tell his stories of his trip. They met during the night and they went for a dinner, Even though Carlos didn’t told Nelson that it was his birthday, Nelson bought something special for him. Something too keep.. A reminder of their love. That was the start of a chance of sharing each other love for each other…. (to be continued).

Thanks again for your words.

Bernie Paez, just last month contact me about this post that i featured him since 2009. He is now residing in Mexico and working on his next project. Again i would like to share this post for 2011.
Previous post:
Bernardo Paez is a 23 year model. He’s a Latin America raced. With his eye catching looks that anyone can me hipnotized with and his inocent look and smiles that captivates someone who is looking at him. If he will be given opportunity not only for modeling, he will be totally hearthrob!

After Fados da Tristeza Alegre (2006), singer Marco Rodrigues released last september his second album, Tantas Lisboas (2010), through Universal Music. In this album he collaborated with artists such as Carlos do Carmo and Mafalda Arnauth and among the composers and lyricists Tiago Machado, Boss AC, Tiago Torres da Silva and Inês Pedrosa.
Marco Rodrigues who live in Arcos de Valdevez believes that ” fado” are incredible. Coming to Lisboa with her mother changes everything. At home people knew that he had a talent in singing, so at that time television gave you popularity so then on he win in the Coliseum in Lisbon for Grande Noite do Fado.
After 10 years had passed, Marco has proved an enduring one, now release another album not pretending to change something but the way on how he sees the musical genre.
Marco says that ” In this CD have a theme that I wanted a song in which he had an array of fate, that people identify not even having the usual characteristics. I wanted to make a topic to talk about love, but a happy love, “clarified Marco Rodriguez, referring to the theme” The inverse of Fado “, where you can hear a passage that says:” When you walk in the night it is … and clarity has emerged on the street every time. “This is what the singer describes as “fado, but not cliché, as it has a fresh letter and this music can also be joyful, “.
After partnering with Carlos do Carmo and Mafalda Arnauth and have sung in stray with Mariza, Marco Rodrigues now cherishes the dream of making a duet with Cameroonian bassist Richard Bornata, which is a fan. “It was a funny mix, because he plays world music and traditional music with various influences, “explains the singer, and yet it is not distracting from the moment his priority: “to build a career. “
Tantas Lisboas, the title of his second album has inspired him the city of Lisbon. The city of Lisbon is present naturally in many songs on the album. Of them all, Marco Rodrigues highlights “Saldanha Man“, a duet with Carlos do Carmo, with lyrics by Boss AC and music by Tiago Machado. “This song is a typical character of Lisbon, which is one man who spends his nights at Saldanha waving to people with whom I identify, because I lived on the periphery of this zone. And Tiago Machado, who is part of the band Boss AC, asked him to issue the letter, since made sense that he was writing about an urban figure, he also being a singer of urban music. After that came the opportunity to do a duet with Carlos do Carmo – which in addition to my personal friend and always have been a reference for me, it was through him that I began to hear fado – and everything has combined to perfection. “
