Demonstrations in Brazil Today, different states in Brazil demostrated against the corruption and the current goverment. The huge turnout in streets shows the situation is not perfect. People claim for Dilma impeachment, while the president says she will not resign since she has no reason for that. Brazilians are complaining about the corruption scheme and skimming of money in Petrobras. The previous president of Brazil, Lula, was inqueried last week and many people say he must be in jail. On the other side, lots of people say that who complain about political-party PT is only rich people and that pre previous political-party, PSDB, was worst than PT. In this point of view, Brazil has improved a lot since PSDB lost the charge. I'm not sure what to think about this demonstration. I understand some point of view of both sides, however, I see a lot of contradictory ideas in a same person. Hence, I don't completly agree with any side. I just want a better Brazil, it doesn't matter what political-party is in charge. I have friends who supports both sides and, for now, I am just trying to position myself.

Have you ever dated somebody at your workplace? Many times this can not be a good idea. Some companies have a policy against dating ate workplace, but a survey showed that this is very common. About 60% of interviewed people have already dated in theirs jobs. It's very also very common a manager having relationship with someone he is managing. Is it correct? This can interfere in their judgment of work and in their productivity. For instance, if you dated a college and you broke up, it can have a uncomfortable situation at work. If you find a significant other in your company it can be a good idea to quit or at least change departments. Another good advice is to keep it secret until you both know it's really serious. But be warned: some companies has guidelines against it. Therefore, you better know before dating a college because you can be accused of violating harassment policy. I met my husband in our previous job. I was an intern and he was a corporal (military) there. At beginning we kept it secretly, but after 3 months the romance just cropped up. We didn't have problems there. At least not because our relationship. However, at the present moment we both are militaries at navy, and since I am an officer and he is a corporal, this can not be good for us if we work in same places. So, we must work in different organizations.

I finished Harry Potter and the Philosoper's Stone After 16 days I finished reading Harry Potter in English. It was not the first time I read an enrirely book in English but it was the first time I read a book I really liked. Before that, I just read two or three books in English which are used for English learnes. For this reason, I must to say, it was a great challenge. In the beginning I marked in yellow all the words I didn't know and after reading about 10 pages I would look for the meaning, but soon I realized it would took me hours to finished that. So, I decided to mark the words but just look for the meaning of some. In the front pages I didn't know about 15 words (each page). But this didn't upset me. I kept reading. A brief summary of the book: after discovering he is a wizard, Harry Potter went to Hogwarts, he made friends there and also enemies. He did wrong things and also fought against you-know-who. Thank Harry Potter his "house" won the annual championship. Now, Harry is ready for his second year with new challenges. I will try to read the second one, but since I will come back to work on Friday, I don't think I will have much free time!
