Meet the world






This is an magazine campaign call "Meet the World" from GRANDE REPORTAGEM MAGAZINE "FLAGS" CAMPAIGN. The message is shocking and provoking.

The creator, Icaro Doria is Brazilian, 25 and has been working for the magazine Grande Reportagem, in Lisbon, Portugal, for the last 3 years. He is part of the team (with Luis Silva Dias, Jo�o Roque, Andrea Vallenti and Jo�o Roque) that produced the flags campaign which has been circulating the Earth in chain letters via e-mail. In his own words Icaro:

"The magazine Revista Grande Reportagem is a Hard Journalism magazine, on the same line as the Times. The idea was to bring across the concept that the magazine offers profound journalism about topics of real importance to the world of today.

This is how we thought of the concept Meet the World.

We started to research relevant, global, and current facts and, thus, came up with the idea to put new meanings to the colours of the flags. We used real data taken from the websites of Amnesty International and the UNO.

The campaign has been running in Portugal since January 2005. There are eight flags that portray very current topics like the division of opinions about the war in Iraq in the United States, the violence against women in Africa, the social inequality in Brazil, the drug trafficking in Columbia, Aids and malaria in Angola, etc.

With regards to the email presenting the campaign as being done by a Norwegian diplomat, this information is completely wrong. There is no Norwegian diplomat called Charung Gollar, there was no presentation in the UNO, and the campaign is not called �The Power of the Stars�. This was all invented and is going round the world via email.

That�s it, basically."

Makes you wonder...how "fair" and "wonderful" the world is...

Historia De Un Amor

Written in 1955, this bolero is possibly the most famous love song from Panama, often considered its "Romantic Hymn". Bolero lyrics often talk about the suffering of love.

This is one of my all time favorites. It is really touching, especially when you're the one who got hit hard.

There are two version of the song. One is a male singer version, another one is female. They actually have different feelings...

You're no longer by my side, my love, and in my soul I have only loneliness, that now I cannot see you, because God made me love you, to make me suffer more (Carlos Eleta Almaran)

Ya no estas mas a mi lado, corazon
En el alma solo tengo soledad
Y si ya no puedo verte
Porque Dios me hizo quererte
Para hacerme sufrir mas.

Siempre fuiste la razon de mi existir
Adorarte para mi fue religion
Y en tus besos yo encontraba
El calor que me brindaba
El amor, y la pasion.
Historia de Amor
Es la historia de un amor
Como no hay otro igual
Que me hizo comprender
Todo el bien, todo el mal.

Que le dio luz a mi vida
Apagandola despues
Ay que vida tan obscura
Sin tu amor no vivire.

You are no longer by my side, my love,
And in my soul I have only loneliness,
that now I cannot see you,
Because god made me love you,
To make me suffer more.

You were the reason for my existence.
Adoring you, for me, was religion.
In your kisses I've waited,
For the warmth given me,
By love and passion.

That's the history of a love.
Which has no equal,
that made me understand,
All that's good, all that's bad,

That gave light to my life,
Then turned it off.
Oh what a dark life.
Without your love I will not live.

Thats the history of my love.

First draft of my dream


Its been 2 years since I wanted to write something about the sea, submarines, and war. I�ve studied about the ocean, and the techology where the war will be taken in. I still remembered those night when I can�t sleep because of all the imagination running in my mind. All is in a state of suspend now for other earthly troubles.

I really want to write it down. It is my destiny. I don�t care if I am a poor man or successful man or even a evil man. I want to have my name remembered after my death. I want to write.
