Parabéns «Figueira Na Hora»

7 de abril de 2013. Há precisamente um ano atrás nascia o «Figueira Na Hora». Um projeto pensado para a Figueira da Foz, feito com e para os figueirenses.
Ao longo destes 12 meses foram, e são cada vez mais, os que diariamente nos acompanham, interagindo das mais variadas formas.
Em dia de aniversário, em nome deste projeto, a todos o nosso muito OBRIGADO!

Um especial obrigado à jornalista Andreia Gouveia, que esteve na base deste projeto jornalístico que entretanto se tornou muito mais do isso. Hoje é, indiscutivelmente, um ponto de encontro de todos os que têm a Figueira da Foz no coração.
De igual forma, um especial agradecimento ao Rui Castro que, também desde a primeira hora, acarinhou este projeto.

Nesta linha dos agradecimentos, não posso deixar nunca de agradecer aos que desde sempre acreditaram e apoiaram o «Figueira Na Hora». Desde os cronistas, os atuais e os que já aqui deixaram os seus pontos de vista, passando pelos colegas de profissão. Uma referência especial ao Pedro Cruz, profissional da imagem de muito mérito.

Hoje somos mais a levar até si muito do que vai acontecendo pelo concelho da Figueira da Foz e até da região centro. Ao jornalista José Santos, outro sentido agradecimento pela forma como tem abraçado este projeto.

Hoje, em dia de aniversário, apresentamos a nossa nova imagem. O «Figueira Na Hora» é uma marca registada no INPI (Instituto Nacional de Propriedade Industrial) e, também hoje, passou a estar oficialmente registado na ERC como órgão de comunicação social.

Queremos fazer muito mais e contamos consigo desse lado para nos acompanhar neste caminho.

Obrigado!

Hoobastank - The Reason

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with every day
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Snow Patrol - Run

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done.

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

[Chorus]
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
It makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do.

[Chorus]

Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess.

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Reason

That's The Way It Is

I can read your mind and I know your story
and I see what you're going through yeah
It's an uphill climb, and I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you yeah

don't surrender coz' you can win
In this thing called love

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When you question me for a simple answer
I don't know what to say, no
But it's plain to see, if we stick together
You're gonna find the way, yeah

So don't surrender coz' you can win
In this thing called looove

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
(That's the way it is)

When life is empty with no tomorrow
And loneliness starts to call
Baby don't worry, forget your sorrow
'Cause love's gonna conquer it all, ALL!

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

Don't give up on your faith
love comes to those who believe it
and that's the way it is.

That's the way it is
That's the way it is, yeah
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is.

Vi-te na Figueira da Foz

"Vi-te na Figueira da Foz".

O título é apelativo e leva a querer conhecer mais.
Esta página do Facebook, no dia em que a conheci, tinha cerca de 50 "gostos", ou "likes", se preferirem.
Ao final do dia, eram já mais de mil os que apreciavam este espaço centrado nas vivências da e na Figueira da Foz.

À hora em que escrevo isto (23h39 do dia 9 de fevereiro), são já mais de 2.300 os "gostos".
O modelo é simples, como se impõe, para poder funcionar.

Quanto mais complicado, menos funcional se torna.

A explicação pela administração do "Vi-te na Figueira da Foz" é igualmente simples, no bom sentido. Curta e direta:

"Tens alguém que gostasses de reencontrar, ou alguma história/ memória que queiras partilhar ? Conta-nos tudo!

Descrição absoluta tanto para quem nos conta as histórias como para quem se acuse de ser um potencial procurado".

Com recurso a imagens, acompanhadas por texto, pede-se a todos os que de alguma forma se sentem intimamente ligados á Figueira da Foz que contem histórias, que partilhem momentos, que divulguem imagens.

E isto é fazer história. É recuperar história. É divulgar o que é nosso pelos quatro cantos do mundo.

Aos promotores, desejo que nunca parem e que possam crescer cada vez mais.

Parabéns!

my baby you

James Blunt - Carry You Home

Trouble is her only friend and he's back again.
Makes her body older than it really is.
She says it's high time she went away,
No one's got much to say in this town.
Trouble is the only way is down.
Down, down.
As strong as you were, tender you go.
I'm watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.
I'll carry you home.
If she had wings she would fly away,
And another day God will give her some.
Trouble is the only way is down.
Down, down.
As strong as you were, tender you go.
I'm watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.
I'll carry you home.
And they were all born pretty in New York City tonight,
And someone's little girl was taken from the world tonight,
Under the Stars and Stripes.
As strong as you were, tender you go.
I'm watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.
I'll carry you home.

Father and Son

James Arthur - Supposed

I should've known better
Than to ever
Look to heaven questioning
Whether I've found it
Put it up, sounded
Better than it looked
Now I'm your friend
Yea, yea
I'm stuck in this dead end

And all these words, they come too late
You could never compensate
For this pain oh

I should've said it all when I was close to you
I should've said it all when I was close to you
Like I was supposed to do
Like I was supposed to do

I should've known better than to be pacified
Now you just pass me by
I'm stumbling through this life like a man with no sight
No sight
Yea, oh
Like a man that lost his fight

And all these words, they come too late
You could never compensate
For this pain

I should've said it all when I was close to you
I should've said it all when I was close to you
Like I was supposed to do
Like I was supposed to do

It's too late
The hands of fate
Oh the hands of fate yea
Just won't wait
No, it just won't wait
No, it just won't wait
Help me change
Help me change, help me change
It's too late
The hands of fate
Just won't wait
No, it just won't wait
No, it just won't wait
Help me change
Help me change, help me change

I should've said it all when I was close to you
I should've said it all when I was close to you
Like I was supposed to do
Like I was supposed to do

Oh like I was supposed to do

My spirit flies to you
