tenho tres ambições:

- Nos próximos dez anos ter um mestrado para poder dar aulas
- Nos próximos dez anos ganhar mais de 50 000 ano (ainda não gaho isso, já l´´a estive perto :))
- a começar já antes dos 35, quero ser Dj nas minhas próprias festas, dá-me gozo por música, começar no roque, passar para um pop dançável e acabar com house do melhor :D

o surf é uma ambição mas já disse há mais de 15 anos que começava aos 33, por isso vem para o ano :D

Bruce Dickinson flies the A320

I just love this guy's show on bbc Radio 6 show-

and i heard he was flying some commercial flights

really cool

uns golitos

2009-07-04T01:07:00.001+01:00

Dizem que depois da primeira passagem pelo barcelona nunca mais foi o mesmo, pois bem, 0.47 de me´dia de golos no barça, 0,5 em todos os clubes por onde passou depois.. a ver vamos se marca uns 15 golitos pelo Glori

they say he didn't perform after his spell at Barcelona, guess what 0,47 goal average in Barça, and exactly 0,5 in every club he has played ever since, I don't mind if he plays let's say 25 games in benfica and scores 13 goals, I don't mind at all

nice headers and left footed goals (he is short and right footed)

El conejo!

2009-07-03T23:24:00.003+01:00

fico contente porque há anos que achava impossível esta contratação do pouco que vi, gosto muito deste jogador.

curiosa esta notícia em Maio do record, vejam bem um comentário de um super portista (que o elogia e queria no porto) e de um sportinguista que diz "quem sabe o benfica não o vai buscar)

Aposto que vale entre 10 a 15 golos no campeonato.

Glad Benfica finally got him, 5 mio is a good deal, I bet he's worth 10 to 15 goals this season

"Fenerbahçe tenta levar Reyes por 5 milhões "

acho que este já foi, é pena porque foi um dos melhores este ano e acho que podia ser outro Simão, que quando chegou não deslumbrou e tinha dias e depois se tornou um ídolo.

De qualquer forma, se for por questões financeiras, acho que são sempre válidas.

Il Mostro Roberto Benigni - Mitica scena al bar

2009-06-21T11:59:00.001+01:00

tive de ir á procura desta cena... fantástica.

vejam o filme e como encadeia depois com a polícia...

Aula de vendas

2009-06-21T11:48:00.001+01:00

Costumo mostrar este vídeo nas sessões de técnicas de vendas que dou.

Muito bom, tenho saudades de filmes do benigni, este nem é o melhor, o delicioso "Il Mostro" é uma obra prima...

Jesus o Salvador

2009-06-21T11:33:00.003+01:00

e pronto, enqaunto andava pelas escandinávias confirmou-se o que eu não queria (por várias razões, porque quero um treinador que mau ou bom fique pelo menos duas épocas seguidas, e porque os media ganham razão).

Jesus é o salvador até de Inglaterra tive amigos a dizer "hey Nuno I heard that Jesus is your coach, no excuses now".

Ponto prévio: não gosto do jesus, não gosto da arrogância, não gosto da maneira muito mesquinha de ser e da prepotência de ter sempre razão. Não gosto também, porque não se conhecem títulos... e arriscava-se a ser outro cajuda, um incompreendido do futebol. Não gosto do Manuel José, mas esse percebeu, pirou-se e provou que é treinador (se calhar em Portugal não dá e eu continuo a não gostar dele, mas provou!)

Posto isto, digo: espero que o Jesus fique entre 3 a 5 anos no benfica, porque há de ser campeão se ficar assim tanto tempo... é que só falta isso a todos os treiandores que passaram pelo benfica... O único acima da média que veio foi mesmo o trapattoni porque tinha anos e anos de futebol e várias ligas. Se querem um treinador para ganhar esta próxima época só conheço dois que o conseguissem fazer, Mourinho e Hiddink, porque de facto são de outro mundo nos três níveis que um clube precisa (táctico, estratégico e de gestão da comunicação e expectativas), qualquer outro que venha vai ter os mesmos resultados que no passado, nesta próxima época.

Para mim, pegava-se num destes senhores dizia-se que num projecto a três anos se queria ganhar 5 títulos sendo um deles o campeonato e daqui a 10 anos dominavamos o futebol...

ou até o João Alves...

Continuo a confiar no Rui Costa!

Scandinavia

2009-06-21T11:10:00.004+01:00

Estive por razões profissionais (que se vão repetir mais e mais) na Escandinávia.

Gostei da experiência embora a maior parte do tempo fosse passada em negócio do que em passeio.

O que trago de cada um dos sítios onde passei:

Estocolmo

cidade bonita, foi onde fizemos mais vida "local", almocei no clube real de golfe, tem muita gente bonita, a mais cosmopolita das 3

- Oslo

cidade surpreendemente organizada e arquitectura bem interessante, é capital de um país com 3000 kms de comprimento e "apenas" 5 milhoes de habitantes, estava pouca gente creio por ser "midsummer", gostei imenso das colinas e do aeroporto

- Helsinquia

a cidade mais "russa" das três, foi onde ficamos mais tempo, tem zonas muto bonitas como a que "olha" 'para o báltico em direccção a Tallin, tambem com pouca gente e dimensão

e de todas, a luz á noite, os enormes paquetes mesmo ao pé das ruas e a absoluta fluência de quase toda a gente em inglês

Due to professional reasons I sepnt last week in scandinavia:

Stockholm - pretty city, where we migled a bit more with/like the locals, had lunch in the royal golf club, loads of pretty people, the most cosmopolitan city of the three

Oslo - surprinsingly tidy, very nice architecture, not many people around as midsummer was on

Helsinki - the most "russian" of the three, nice spots by the sea small and cosy city.

All three, have an amazing light during the "night", huge cruiseliners just by the streets and of course, incredible fluency in english

não gosto do circo

2009-06-06T13:02:00.002+01:00

Não é do verdadeiro, que nesse tenho raízes, mas sim do mediático de pré época.
Nest gosto sobretudo, que das pessoas do benfica, nem uma palavra, veremos (espero) se será bom prenúncio.

""Cada um puxa para seu lado", adiantou (Mariano Andujar), sublinhando, porém, que "a liga portuguesa não é o mesmo que a liga italiana".

Tá visto que este vai para o Catania, e os jornais só estão a dar a notícia para depois andarem o ínicio da época a crucificarem o redes titular e dizer que o benfica não contratou o titular da selecção argentina...

haja alguem sério

2009-06-04T23:11:00.002+01:00

eu nunca vi declarações oficiais de ninguem do benfica.
os jornais acham-se....

"«Benfica nunca me ligou», diz empresário de Álvaro Pereira"

quer-me parecer que ainda vou ter de tirar o chapéu a dupla LU-RU.. que estar calado é a melhor estrategia.
Se mantiverem o Quique converto-me e faço-me sócio!!

P.S. os jornais, e os media em geral a todos os níveis são a maior corja... (espero que não haja nenhum cliente a ouvir :))

inteligência

2009-06-04T13:27:00.002+01:00

para contrapor ao que postei anteriormente:

" Não me fazem falta os mimos. Encanta-me jogar, adoro treinar. Necessitava ficar bem e não me enganei na escolha." quando um jogador inteligente como AImar diz isto, so demonstra que estamos no bom caminho.. agora é mantê-lo.

Por mim, saiem dois jogadores (entre di maria, luisão e katso) e fica-se com todos os outros (e com todos, digo balboas e afins), mantenham o treinador, e para o ano acho impossível não ficarmos nos dois primeiros lugares.

burrice

2009-06-03T00:10:00.003+01:00

Este post não tem nada a ver com o anterior.

Mas cada vez me sinto mais pedante, acho que há gente que nao merece que sequer lhe dirija a palavra, haja paciência.. e eu perco-a rapidamente, o que me vale é pensar que "eles não sabem.." e nem vale a pena

Because we're big:

2) others even in their victories can help it but to talk about us.

Quique é um senhor

2009-05-17T22:14:00.004+01:00

Primeiro ponto: Aconteça o que acontecer, passo a ser fá de mais alguma coisa para além do benfica e do vilanovense, o Quique, para one quer que ele for, vou puxar pela equipa dele!

A seguir: Um homem que assiste a uma arbitragem em termos disciplinares fraquissíma, que diz "é uma vergonha, é uma ergonha é uma vergonha" e é expulso a 2 mins do fim, e que depois na conferencia de imprens,a diz o que acha, que o katso saiu lesionado por um lance que levou duas cartuchadas e não houve amarelo e depois há amarelos como o segundo ao Yebda, mas mesmo assim, mantem que os arbitros tem uma missao dificil e pede desculpa se exagerou... é um senhor!!!! como este só só outro pssou pelo benfica, o Eriksson (e tantas alegrias)

depois: espero que o quique fique, mas pelo que ouvi, quer-me parecer que está nas mãos do quique e já sondaram o jesus

e: a rádio elegeu o urreta (e o cardozo) como homens do jogo, para mim, começa no moreira que é uma p... de uma diferença para o Quim (agarrou as bolas todas...) passa pelo Miguel Vítor, que passa por um momento de forma fantástico e esse sim para mim o homem do jogo, e depois e por esta ordem, o Ruben Amorim, maxi (que se transformou num excelenete e experiente jogador!!)o Katso e o di Maria (que fez um jogo fantástico) e o Cardozo que fezum grande jogo, o urreta fez de facto um jogo muito bom, mas não exageremos.
Ora se virmos que destes todos os mais velhos (tirem o katso que vai para o hambugo) têm 26 e o mais novos ainda não fizeram 20..

No próx ano, com esta equipa, com o quique ao leme, com tempo para preparar porque vai entrar mais tarde em competição (comparando com o sporting por ex) podemos fazer bastante.
e não sejamos ingénuos eu nos ultimos 10 anos só melembro de 3 títulos, e um foi este ano... (taça do camacho, liga do trapa, e taça da liga do quique, frente ao sporting)

inflexão

2009-05-16T14:19:00.002+01:00

Espero que isto signifique que o Quique fique!!

gostava que me apontassem o que é o que Quique fez pior do que os últimos 10 treinadores que passaram no benfica... (exceptuando a raposa que é bem astuta e não conta)...

http://www.maisfutebol.iol.pt/liga/benfica/quique-quique-flores-benfica-liga/1064254-1456.html

e subscrevo completamente o que ele disse. A direcção tem de mostrar que de facto tem os olhos no rumo e não se vai desviar!
vendam o Di Maria e mais um para fazer dinheiro , mantenham a equipa e nem é preciso grandes contratações

continuidade já!!!

Man utd close to third title in a row

2009-05-13T22:20:00.002+01:00

So please tell me what you all say (specially in the media) and all you football "experts" that in Portugal bla bla bla.

So Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and even Man City (10th in the league), not to mention former champions, blackburn and Newcastle struggling to stay in the premier league, are not good clubs, well managed and successfull? The same Arsenal that kicked Porto in the beggining, the same Man utd and Liverpool that were kicked by benfica a couple of years ago?

So please.... get your facts (and minds) right!!

Portugal does it right!

2009-05-10T10:46:00.002+01:00

thre things make me want to celebrate what good Portugal has/does:
1) I am back to my country from London, because I wanted it, and I love it
2) everybody seems to focus on what's wrong and reporters are a cancer!!
3) working for a leading company based in portugal working in a global marketplace

So I found a couple of links that make you realise we do it right!

I hate Quim!

2009-05-10T10:43:00.002+01:00

There is no need for any explanation, and it I am know to have each season one player where I focus ll my frystrations, but my hate for QUim comes a long way... I hate his attitude, I hate what he says, I hate is skills and I think it is is stupid...
I'll be coming back in two weeks to give in two or three posts my view on the team, the season, and each individual player, then What I think should be done next season, and after what I thin will be done.

Cheerio!!

Viva o Porto

2009-05-02T22:47:00.003+01:00

After te two matches tody, Porto is even more champion, so "Viva o Porto".
I watched the whole game today, somehing I haven't doen for quite a while, and even though I like to think of myself as a football fan that understands just a bit how the game works , I just cannot explain....

After playing today it was even more fun watching the game, and really understanding how I love the game, but it really hurts... damn, it is unbelieveble.. I hope they keep the team as it is, sell just two players (Di Maria and katso) and are patient enough to keep all the young player that started today. It was just like my game today, so many missed goals and then, we just take goals... Football is about GOALS!

I hate Quim to the death (even more after his f$%&/( smile after the 3rd goal (where he could have done quite better) and the opponents goalies always save 2 or 3 done goals, and he doesn't, I HATE HIM!!! (hope he reads it).

Oh well, no more interest in this league, uefa cup again it is next year :(

Next year I have to keep to the promise, to buy a season ticket... Maybe it wil be Porto, maybe it will be Boavista, who knows even benfica, but I have to go at least once a month to the stadium

take care ya'll

Political marketing

2008-03-14T17:12:00.004Z

Haven't made my mind about the two democrat candidates in the U.S (which is irrelevant as I vote in Portugal :)).

I am a big fan of Clinton, Bill that is, even more as I read his biography.

Nevertheless Obama is pushing political marketing to a new era.

Today I read on "Meios e Publicidade" that a new company in Portugal is offering the second pic.

Definitely in my top ten advertising pieces.

1) It says it all

2) the produtc is (unbelievably) there

3) it is completely relevant

4) when you first see it, it is already good, when start looking at the details, it is a wonder.... and you start thinking whether it is photo only, or some photoshop

If you draw a circle around Bangalore, (within) a four hours flight, you can basically (tap) 70 per cent of the world’s population and 70 per cent of the future GDP growth,”

Says Wim Elfrink, from Cisco, the only chief globalisation officer in the world (he said to google it to assure he is the only one)

Well found it funny, in a globalized world, with Internet and stuff, geography still counts.... which means, people and relations still count, which means Portugal is still faraway from loads of places....

this is one of the greatest ads I have seen.

the second time you view it, place your fingers covering the two poles seen on the first image, and leave your fingers there.....

Remarkable!!

Nike just announced it bought Umbro for 490 mio euros aporx.
I am sad, I love football, I like Umbro, in fact I will buy some Umbro football shoes today. They are dedicated to football which is great and they have good taste, both in advertising as well as sponsoring Deco.
I don't like Nike... I mean I loke the brand, and the way they build it, don't like their shoes, specially the football ones.
Nike is a fashion brand, not a sports good one.
Oh well life goes on, I guess I will have to keep on loving Adidas.

How (not) to use focus groups

2007-10-11T16:51:00.001+01:00

Funny...
Makes you wonder.
I don't really agree with some people that say this means focus groups should be dead, also because people are analysing just the idea (number one) and also because they do it nowadays.
Nevertheless, very interesting

good campaign

2007-10-10T16:02:00.001+01:00

Very good campign from Dove in England (why do every work I enjoy usually comes from "the isles"?)
Of course one can argue that they are not really preoccupied with the kids, but rather in getting them before others do (like they claim to their moms) nevertheless, good idea, good copy, good advert.

best show ever

2007-08-06T15:59:00.001+01:00

Hi there,

In these past days I have been quite nostalgic about Britain, don't ask me why, so I have been watching Allo Allo (in Dvd) and Top Gear, Probably the best tv show ever.
Not because of the cars, not because of their knowledge of cars.
It is because everybody relates to these 3 crazy bastards.
They always tell a story while delivering good car reviews... Brilliant!!!
They would teach a lot of marketeers a lot, really a lot. When I watch the show I can only remember what I read in Primal Branding.
Perfect.
This is my favourite (well, one of..) episode. The fun they have when they jam some french guys for one hour in a parking lot...

Take care ya'll

bye bye

2007-07-26T19:10:00.001+01:00

this video tells it all, goals and and a team on his back.....
Good luck!!!

Good Copy

2007-07-17T18:27:00.000+01:00

This is a good copywriting example of what is done in Portugal (too bad it is in Portuguese) it says something like, "Run Portugal from top to bottom with "ferrador" socks on your feet" (in portuguese "top to bottom" rhimes with "feet"

Yaicks.....

Take care ya'll

The season is over....

2007-04-18T06:35:00.000+01:00

I am sad to say the season is over.
Europe is gone, national league is gone... hmm the only two bad things are:
1) I made a bet with someone I know and I hate losing
2) There is no further emotion in football until September (when the season starts again)
It will be some painfull 5 games still to come.
no pic today, I am sad :)

Take care ya'll

Gigi Galli

2007-04-01T15:57:00.000+01:00

This guy just got my attention, after the "departure" from rally world from the best of all times, Colin Mcrae that i was "orphan" in the rally scene.

Two days ago a crazy italian got me off.

Anyone able to climb to its car, still running and going, moving with no driver, stand on the top of the car wearing a t-shirt of the portuguese national team and waving. to an enthusiastic croud in a footbal stadium.....

He got me and a lof of portuguese fans I am pretty sure, who cares if he finished 12th, he is my rally hero

Hurray for Gigi

Take care ya'll

countryside

2007-03-31T22:06:00.000+01:00

And again, relaxing on the countryside not far away from where i live as you can see on the map.

Some cool stuff happened this time, some thousands of frogs (ok ok i am exagerating but just a bit) were along the road (dirt road) when we arrived close to midnight.

I had never seen one frog even before here, so....

Then you can also check (again) the view around here as well the small house i want to buy.

Take care ya'll

life standards, the good life

2006-12-21T17:22:00.000Z

Today I decided to take the day off.

So we went for a ride by bike.

A small thing, click here to see our path (one way).

Nevertheless, one thing is for sure, we don´t really have too much to offer business wise, or career wise, we are not in the big capitals line, but we sure as hell have a fucking good life standard.....

The pic is at the beach at 11:00

We went to Espinho had tortilla, "Polvo" (octopus), some cheese and a glass of Planalto (see it here on my other blog).... 20 meters away from the sea with the sun burning my forehead.

Hell of a life.

Take care ya´ll

codfish for christmas

2006-12-18T21:11:00.000Z

Today I decided for 2 new things.
First, to post here the exact same post as in my other blog (if you are reading the cooking one this is it), chef Nuno where I post my culinary deeds.
Secondly, for some time now, I was willing to introduce something (kind of) invented by me.
Here it is.
Doesn't have a name yet, so I launch a challenge, please post on "comments" the name you would give it, I will then ellect the best name, and the person who wins gets a bottle of Branu wine.
The pics are not the best sorry.
Basicly this is, codfish, some spinachs, sme shrimp, some garlic, some potatoe (both stewed and mashed) all built ito what you see.
I have to confess (modesty aside) it is delicius (I am eating as i write :))
Delicious.
Take care ya'll

office view

2006-12-13T15:29:00.000Z

Hi there,

Today I decided to share with the world (that is if Kaweh is the world, as it seems he is the only one reading this :)) the view of my office and its considerable balcony.

Hope you enjoy it.

The view is part of Gaia, and Porto at its best.

"And now for something completely different"

2006-12-07T21:29:00.000Z

I can only imagine how it was back in 1971 when a bunch of middle class british youngsters started this.

It is slightly compared to "Gato Fedorento" in Portugal, but back then, in old conservative Britain..... wo ho!

I think Monty Python are great, I also think they are completely out of their minds, all of them, including John Cleese the mentor behind one of my favourite series (and dvd).

OK, just to say I have been watching for some days now "And now for something completely different" as I got it from the local Fnac for less then 10 €, a bargain for such a primework.

Take care ya'll

P.s. looks like I am posting!!!!

Mojca the girl!!

2006-12-07T20:16:00.000Z

I am happy to announce that my good friend mojca is an inspiration, she just got promoted as head of Publicis Slovenia strategic department for a year!!

How cool is that?

Here i am tryig to get somewhere with my company and this girl I met for the first time 2 years ago in Brussels makes quite an achievment.

Camon Mojca, now you have to hire me and branu for something, or at least introduce us to publicis portugal :)

Coming soon to Ljbljana one of the loveliest cities I have been too.

Take care y'all

Benfica

2006-12-06T22:28:00.000Z

I don't usually post about one of my greatest passions, Football.
But since i promised I would blog more often here it goes.
I am on strike.
I am on strike for a while because of the goalkeeper of my favourite team, Benfica, his name is Quim, or better, Joaquim, and he his the worst of the three goalkeepers Benfica has.
Onde again today, even though Benfica played very well, he just played as..... I would on goal, so, just plain normal.
When you play with the best that's not enough.
That's why I am a Marketeer and not a footballer (maybe becuase i suck also :)).
Nevertheless I love football it was a great match and most of all.
I am back in blogging :)

Take care ya'll

The will to blog

2006-11-26T21:25:00.000Z

Hello once again (how many people in fact read the crap i write here?)

I have been wandering for some days.... I know a lot of people who blog frequently.
My intention was to do so to.
But it is the same here (in my blogs) as well as in my outlook, my pc, oh well and someothers.
When I miss one post (either I had too much to do or no connection) when I try to write the next one, it looks like a task for hercules.... well you can now imagine how may posts have not been done yet.
Once again I post here, i will try to post more often.
I think never in my life I had so much to post... Never in my life I had a camera always at hand (my sony eriksson K750i), so no excuses.
Please endulge me to... and too :)
The pic u see is from the floods in Douro the river that passes by porto.

Take care y'all

News

2006-10-29T20:49:00.000Z

Incredible how long it has been ever since i last wrote some lines here.
I really whished to write more often, nevertheless, and unfortunately, it is very difficult nowadays.
I now have to positions in two different companies, plus the same as always.
So, quite hectic I must add.
Today (it is the end of october almost beggining of November), we went by bike to the beach... fantastic weather.
18:00 o'cock in the afternoon, no light but extremely mild.
Hope I can write more often here in the next days.
Meanwhile I leave you with a pic of the new puffs (i don't know if that's the word in english) of Branu's office

Take care y'all
