Last Friday Night

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars, yeah we'll be counting stars

I see this life like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and you shall find
Old, but I'm not that old 
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, coudn't I, could lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive…
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars                                  (Repeat 2X)

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learn                                         (Repeat 3X)
               Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone
New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say, "Oh, this feeling that you can't fight"
Like this city is on fire tonight
Could really be a good life, a good, good life
Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick
Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cause hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say, "Oh, this feeling that you can't fight"
This city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life


Listen,
To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or 
Paris to China to Colorado
Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's somethings that don't work now
We all got our stories but please tell me
What there is to complain about?







It might seem crazy what I’m about to say
Sunshine she’s here, you can take a break
I’m a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don’t care baby by the way

Because I’m happy       (Happy……..…)
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do


Here come bad news talking this and that, yeah,
well, give me all you got, and don’t hold back, yeah,
well, I should probably warn you I’ll be just fine, yeah,
no offense to you, don’t waste your time
Here’s why

Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Hey, come on         (Happy……………)
bring me down…  can't nothing…
bring me down…   my level's too high…
bring me down…   can't nothing 
bring me down…   i said (let me tell you now)

bring me down…   can't nothing… 
bring me down…   my level's too high…
bring me down…   can't nothing… 
bring me down…   i said,





Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do  
(Repeat 2X)

Hey, come on      (Happy…………..)
Bring me down… can’t nothing…
Bring me down… my level's too high
Bring me down… can’t nothing…
Bring me down, I said (let me tell you now)
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do
(Repeat 2X)

Back to the river

Back to the river

I don't know where I'm going

But, I sure know where I've been

Hanging on the friendship 

In songs of yesterday

An' I've made up my mind,

I ain't wasting no more time

But, here I go again

Here I go again!

We were back in the river on the canoes but for that tivemos de dar provas que estávamos à altura na aula de sing and dance...

A noite prometia com o animado Karaoke mas depois de um dia de pura canseira as vozes já não conseguiam chegar aos ceus...  mas ainda deu para uma song or two...

Já hoje o dia despertou as usual, bem cedo e de mala aviada para o dia out. We went trekking at Coval and after that we end up at the pool of Mangualde for enganar o calor... Os water games estão terminados... agora é fazer contas e pronto... será desta que a habitual vencedora é destronada?

Almoço tomado it's time to put some cream on it. Vamos dar um mergulho rápido e slide nos escorregas de água cá da terra. 

Ainda estamos na piscina e por hoje ja não blogamos mais... we will only be back tomorow.... they are waiting for the afternoon snack and we have to go...

see you tomorrow 

Miguel e Pedro

Skills and Accuracy

Skills and Accuracy 

Aim... breathe in and shoot... They all looked like Robin Hood or William Tell. Tiro com Arco, tiro com Zarabatana, tiro às latas e até uma brincadeira de bolas voadoras... tudo acompanhado de uns "aguaceiros" forçados para distrair o calor...

Pelas ruas de Darei até os locals ja cantam as nossas canções... as vozes estão cada vez mais in tune... na dança so falta uns little acertos e depois estamos prontos para o grande dia.

O calor aperta... A LOT!  e nós não dispensamos o bom dive na nossa beach. On the way home a nice barbecue dinner was waiting for us... as febras, o chouriço and the sausages foram um sucesso... e claro está, acompanhadas pela bela da batata frita e salada.

A noite previa emoção. The mission Impossible, um clássico dos nossos Summer Courses, está quase a começar... Vistam roupa dark e venham connosco

Keep it down and have fun

Pedro e Miguel

Parents and canoes

To all our readers, yesterday we took the day off of our blog...

But we're back!!!

So on Saturday a lot aconteceu... ele foi ensaios, ele foi arrumações, ele foi barrela, ele foi Mata e Bola ao Capitão championship, ele foi visita de alguns parents... enfim uma canseira que até os morcegos vão contra os postes de cansados... 

E isto foi só durante o dia... a noite trouxe one oldie but a good game back. Pictionary, com algumas modernices mas sempre com lot's of fun and laughter.

Já hoje o dia começou um pouco mais late. Deu para dormir mais um pouco mas o ritmo rapidamente foi recuperado porque, as always, a agenda está muito preenchida de things to do.

Canoes in the afternoon com direito a guerras de água e muitos mergulhos. Mesmo de molho a curiosidade sobre o novo world champion pairava no ar... por isso, foi mastigar o dinner a correr para ir até à Sociedade de Darei dar uma espreitadela at the tv.

Aceitam-se apostas para o winner...

Até amanhã 

Miguel e Pedro 

Safari 'R' Us

Safari 'R' us

I saw the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause we are the champions and you’re gonna hear us roar
Louder, louder than a lion

'Cause we are the champions and you’re gonna hear us roar...

A regular morning at the office... dancing and singing e logo depois the english class always with lots of desafios.

Clothes and body parts were parte of the nossa aula. And there was even time for a catwalk bowling alley...

The lunch is served at 1pm SHARP and we are running a little atrasados... Rápido e corda nos shoes porque the safari is waiting for us.

Depois de algumas landscapes e a few farm animals we got a ride to the beach e hoje ninguém faltou à water call. It's getting hot in here!!!

The night game chegou após o jantar at the twilight. Bem camuflados seguimos to the backyard, onde a border patrol impedia os mais afoitos dealing the sweets to other members of the team. 

As always the winner were os mais gulosos... 

Brush your teeth and sleep well because tomorrow is, again, a long day... 

Pedro e Miguel 

Who do you think you are?

I like to move it,move it 
She likes to move it,move it 
He likes to move it,move it 

You like to... move it!

We were unstoppable!!! Piscina de manhã para despertar even the sleepiest of all, logo de seguida uns water games para warm up uma temperatura menos aprazível. Não creiam que ficamos por aqui... 

O peddy paper levou-nos a conhecer a city of Mangualde: do Largo da Misericórdia, ao palácio dos Condes de Anadia, passando pelo Largo Dr. Couto, com direito a um meeting with the Mayor de Mangualde. Depois de crossing todo o Rossio we finally found as piscinas e o tão desejado lunch!

A afternoon foi repleta de splashing and diving!

O nosso dinner waited nas tables enquanto os mais lentos terminavam os seus showers.

A noite foi calma e recuperadora pois amanhã will be a brand new day full of música e dança!   

Swing, Shake, Move, Make, Trust, Use, Show, Groove it...

Miguel e Pedro

Challenge It!!!

Challenge It !!!

Let's get physical foi o lema de hoje...

Tudo começou bem cedo com uma aula de aeróbica ao nivel dos melhores ginásios nacionais.

After that a habitual dance class onde cada vez mais as vozes estão em grande. E a dança nem se fala... step to the left, and step to the right... always in English of course.

Oh, this has gotta be the good life

This has gotta be the good life

This could really be a good life, good life

Say, "Oh, this feeling that you can't fight"

This challenge is on fire today

This could really be a good life, a good, good life

In the afternoon foi uma canseira. Run this way... climb up here... slide down there.. jump over here... 

Deu tempo para uns dives na nossa beach mas sem grandes demoras porque o jantar is served at 8pm SHARP!!! 

Hurry up, eat fast the night game is about to começar...

See you tomorrow

Pedro e Miguel 

Let's get Happy!!!

Let's get Happy

The day começou com mais um fabuloso rehearsal. Desta feita especialmente virado para as performing arts que é como quem diz: cantar e dançar...

The groups are preparados  a coreografia é introduced, it's time to practise. 

After a delicioso almoço made by D. Rosa, the games have started com o Captain Kill... 

Jogámos, brincámos e até transpirámos, don't forget que estamos em Darei e o calor aqui aperta... 

Antes do dinner o shower foi o nosso melhor aliado, ajudou-nos a refresh ideias para um night game que não foi nada easy.

De letra em letra, palavra por palavra até vislumbrarmos a nossa tão desejada midnight snack.

Happy birthday to you Gonçalo...

Time to go 

See you tomorrow 

Miguel e Pedro 

We are back!!!!

Pois é, estamos de volta a Darei e trouxemos alguns repetidos de outros anos... Mas é com "new and old" friends que a nossa aventura começará!

Chegados a Darei demos início à arrumação da trouxa. Rooms, teams and even tables... tudo separado mas sempre together.

Algumas regras mais tarde e depois de um ice breaker game caímos na desejada bed. Temos um long day pela frente full of new songs, dances and games.

The river beach was waiting for us mas só depois de um Fun Run Game cheio de obstáculos e muitas peripécias.

Banhos tomados e cabelos penteados time for dinner. 

The night game is starting temos de ir... 

Let's get happy!!!

See you tomorrow...

Pedro e Miguel
