MY IDOL

My name is Allan and my idol is my father. He is my idol because he is rather honest, hardworking and, of course, he roots for Corinthians.
My father and I have been to the stadium to watch the Corinthians matches since I was four years old. This is one of my idol’s hobbies. The other thing he really likes is watching motor racing. He also appreciates listening to jazz music, but what he is crazy about is playing basketball! He has played it since he was a child. He would like to play besides two idols, having bread made of mixed flour, Jordan and Oscar. What a dream!

This is my idol, my FATHER!

Anahí Giovanna Puente Portilla

My idol is my favorite singer Anahí Giovanna Puente Portilla of RBD. She was born in Mexico 23 years ago. She likes dogs and has one. Her boyfriend is Affonso Herrera of the same band she takes part in.

She likes Brazil and our soccer player Ronaldo. Her eyes are blue and she has brown hair, but she had her hair dyed blond. She started on TV in an advertisement when she was five. Today she works in “Rebelde” and RBD. RBD has six singers: Dulce Maria, Christian Chavéz, Christopher Ackerman, Affonso Herrera and Anahí Portilla. RBD has come to Brazil twice. When they came to Brazil for the first time last February, there was a tragedy: two fans died and the band was really miserable. On the second time they gigged the show here, in October, I had the opportunity to go. It was perfect!

What I like most about the band is their style, their lyrics and the singer Anahí.

Ronaldinho Gaúcho

My favorite celebrity is Ronaldinho Gaúcho, because he is a big and famous soccer player.
Ronaldinho is twenty-six years old and he’s from Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul. He started playing soccer when he was three years old.
He is a great player who used to be a humble person. In spite of defeats, he believed that he could become successful.
Nowadays he helps poor people. In my opinion, Ronaldinho is the best soccer player in the world.
For these reasons and other ones, he’s my favorite celebrity.

BLINK 182

Blink 182 was formed by three men: Mark, Tom and Travis.

IN May 1993, Blink released a demo tape entitled Flyswater, recorded in the drummer Scott Raynor’s bedroom, who left the band two years later. It is their first album and a 4-track was used to record the material, resulting in poor sound quality and according to Mark, only around fifty copies were produced. Their first real show took place at a bar and as they were underage, they were only allowed to enter when it was time for their set. They bought fifty tickets to sell, but no one came to see them. After only one song, Blink was kicked off the stage and out of the bar. Before the end of the year, the band released another demo tape known as Bubddha. Around 1,000 copies were produced by a little recorder (owned by Mark’s boss).


Shortly after the release of one new CD, Blink was threatened with legal action by an Irish pop band of the same name.In order to avoid a lengthy law suit, Blink added “182” to the end of their name. There are several rumors as to why these numbers were ultimately chosen, such as their correspondence to the number of times Al Pacino repeats the word “fuck” in Scarface, the 1985 Timothy Hutton film – Turk 182!, their representation of Mark ideal weight, or that they represent the alphabet position of the letters ‘R’ and ‘B’, referring to the northern San Diego suburb of Rancho Bernardo. However, the band members have dismissed such claims and mantain that the numbers were picked at random. Not mentioning that Barker , in one interview, stated that the “182” was the U.S. radio code meaning ‘homicide’, apparently confusing “182”, the radio code for conspiracy, with “187”.

For now, Blink-182 is in indefinite “hiatus” as Mark and Travis made a new band called Plus 44 ( +44 is the “DDD” of London) and Tom made another one called “Angels and Airwaves” ( AvA is the name of his son).

MÔNICA SALMASO













Born in São Paulo in 1971, Mônica Salmaso is the one of the best young voices in Brazil.
She recorded with many important musicians like Edu Lobo, Eduardo Gudin, José Miguel Wisnik, Marlui Miranda, Guinga, Nelson Ayres and the Jazz Symphonic Orchestra of São Paulo.
She recorded, with Paulo Bellinati, in 1995 the Afro-sambas of Baden Powell and Vinícius de Moraes. This is a wonderful Cd, very delicate and with beautiful arrangements. With this Afro-sambas CD she was nominated for Prêmio Sharp - 97 as Best New Singer in Brazilian Popular Music.

In 1999 Mônica Salmaso won the Visa-Mastercard-Eldorado Prize for best singer in Brazil. After this prize Mônica’s talent started to receive more attention.
Her first solo CD (Trampolim) was recorded in 1998 .










In 2004, she released her fourth CD “IAIÁ”. That is in my opinion the best CD, because the songs have an amazing simplicity despite the complexity of the arrangements. There is in this album an economy of instruments that results, in my opinion, in a Cd with excellent arrangements and wonderful delicacy.

I would point out the songs Vingança (Francisco Mattoso / José Maria de Abreu ), Menina Amanhã de Manhã (Tom Zé / Perna) and É Doce Morrer no Mar ( Dorival Caymmi), because they are in my opinion the most beautiful songs in this CD and I think that everybody should listen to them once in life.
I’ ll finish this report with Edu Lobo’s comment about Mônica’s voice "...she has the best voice I have ever heard in recent years."

A PERSON I ADMIRE...

This person is Miss Neide Trevisan, the manager of the group of three buildings where I’ve been living for twenty four years.

She had been a regular spouse and mother until she was near her sixties. When some evidences emerged that the ex-manager was dealing for his own illegal profit, based on corruption, it came the opportunity to Miss Trevisan to change the path of her life.

Then she got the chance to perform her managerial skills out of home. She doesn’t have any deep academic knowledge, but she has a strong sense based on intuition, empiric observation. She has a tendency to authoritarism, but this feature helps her to deal with some workers and businessmen that have the same trait. Generally, she imposes her orders or choices without resistance. She presents the arguments and makes good decisions.

As she is very honest, she is respected by the owners, as by the employees, by the suppliers and all people with whom she deals. Even when she tries to solve particular demands, she always keeps the major interests of the group she represents.

She has been reelected for successive biannual periods. When an alternative candidate appears, she wins easily, without any electoral campaign.

Recently, she joined the building in a group which is inter-connected for security issues, in a new schema of reciprocal defense against all kinds of robbers and thieves. This strategy can be spread as a new efficient model.

Recently, Miss Trevisan’s husband preferred to move to a smaller city. She moved with him, but she kept the responsibilities with the building, and she divides her time smartly. So, she continues with the responsibilities at home and managing the building, dividing her time in a flexible way.

Doing so, she looks like a happy, satisfied and well succeeded person.

My father, my big Idol.


Yes...I like music and I have idols in this. And I admire some actors and actresses, but my real idol is someone who is near to me. I am talking about my father.

My father is a wonderful person. Everybody likes him, because he is a good father, a good husband, a good son, a good friend.

Although his bad mood sometimes, and all of his other flaws, he has a big heart. He is always helping everybody. I say that if everybody was like my father, the world would be so much better.

The education that my father and my mother gave to my sister and me is the most important thing that we have and I will be grateful all my life for this. I think that the dignity and the character is something that the human being has to acquire when is still a child and if it’s strong, nothing can change this.

My father never let something lacks to my family. He is a working man and always works so hard to give the best to us.

He participates a lot in my life. He worried about my grades at university, about my job, about my dating. He gives me a lot of advises and I always listen to him.


I don’t like to think in my life without my father, he is my safe port. I love him so much and I am so much proud to look like him.

Every night, before I sleep, I thank God to be part of this family.

My Idol










Hi! My name is Ana Laura and my idol’s name is Daniel Radcliffe. Most people know he likes the character Harry Potter, and up to now he had already taken part in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Globet of fire (I love all of them). Since the beginning of this year he has been acting in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Daniel has gorgeous green eyes and black hair. He plays the guitar and has a band (they don’t make success).The shy guy began in the actor cart way doing a test to perform who? Harry Potter, obvious! Before many negative answers of his parents to do it, Dan did the test and passed on it! On his time out he plays in his band, does magic tricks, writes texts, watches films, reads Harry Potter (he had already read all the books, just like me), and he doesn’t like seeing himself on the screen, because he thinks the screen is too big.

He loves Japanese food and hates trash food. At school he hates Math and French, and like most of teens, he hates doing homework!
