Task #12 - Song translation

Gwen Stefani - If I was a rich girl. Feat. Eve
If I was a rich girl (na, na....)
See, I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl

Think what that money could bring
I'd buy everything
Clean out Vivienne Westwood
In my Galliano gown
No, wouldn't just have one hood
A Hollywood mansion if I could
Please book me first-class to my fancy house in London town

All the riches baby, won't mean anything
All the riches baby, won't bring what your love can bring
All the riches baby, won't mean anything
Don't need no other baby
Your lovin' is better than gold, and I know

If I was rich girl (na, na...)
See, I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl

I'd get me four Harajuku girls to (uh huh)
Inspire me and they'd come to my rescue
I'd dress them wicked, I'd give them names (yeah)
Love, Angel, Music, Baby
Hurry up and come and save me

All the riches baby, won't mean anything
All the riches baby, won't bring what your love can bring
All the riches baby, won't mean anything
Don't need no other baby
Your lovin' is better than gold, and I know

[Eve]
Come together all over the world
From the hoods of Japan, Harajuku girls
What, it's all love
What, give it up
What (shouldn't matter 4x), what
Come together all over the world
From the hoods of Japan, Harajuku girls
What, it's all love
What, give it up
What (shouldn't matter 4x)
What happened to my life
Turned upside down
Chicks that blew ya mind, ding, it's the second round
(Original track and ting, mmm)
You know you can't buy these things (no)
See Stefani and her L.A.M.B., I rock the Fetish
People, you know who I am

Yes ma'am, we got the style that's wicked
I hope you can all keep up
We climbed all the way from the bottom to the top
Now we ain't gettin' nothin' but love

If I was rich girl (na, na...)
See, I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl






Kui ma oleksin rikas tüdruk
vaata, mul oleks kogu maailma raha kui ma oleks jõukas tüdruk
ükski mees ei saaks mind proovile panna, mulle muljet avaldada, mu raha vool ei lõppeks kunagi
sellepärast, et mul oleks kõik maailma raha kui ma oleks jõukas tüdruk

Mõtle mida raha võib anda
ma ostaks kõik
ostaks tühjaks Vivienne Westwood'i
oma Galliano kleidis
ei, see ei oleks ainult üks hoone
hollywoodi villa kui ma saaksin
palun broneerige mulle esimese-klassi pilet mu peenesse majja Londonis

kogu rikkus Kullake, ei tähenda midagi
kogu rikkus Kullake, ei anna mulle mida armastus võib anda
kogu rikkus Kullake, ei tähenda midagi
ma ei vaja kedagi teist
sinu arm on parem kui kuld ja ma tean

Kui ma oleksin rikas tüdruk
vaata, mul oleks kogu maailma raha kui ma oleks jõukas tüdruk
ükski mees ei saaks mind proovile panna, mulle muljet avaldada, mu raha vool ei lõppeks kunagi
sellepärast, et mul oleks kõik maailma raha kui ma oleks jõukas tüdruk

ma muretseks endale 4 Harajuku tüdrukut
inspiratsiooniks ja nad tuleksid mind päästma
ma riietaksin nad vingelt, annaksin neile nimed,
Armastus, Ingel, Muusika, Kullake
kiirusta ja päästa mind

kogu rikkus Kullake, ei tähenda midagi
kogu rikkus Kullake, ei anna mulle mida armastus võib anda
kogu rikkus Kullake, ei tähenda midagi
ma ei vaja kedagi teist
sinu arm on parem kui kuld ja ma tean


Tulge kõik üle maailma kokku
jaapani õuedest, Harajuku tüdrukud
mida, see on kõik armastus
mida, loobu sellest
mida, mida
Tulge kõik üle maailma kokku
jaapani õuedest, Harajuku tüdrukud
mida, see on kõik armastus
mida, loobu sellest
mida
Mis minu elust on saanud
pea peale pööratud
Tibid, kes sind pöördesse ajasid, see on teine võimalus
Sa tead, et sa ei saa neid asju osta
Vaata Stefanit ja tema L.A.M.B'i, ma rokin (Fetišit?)
rahvas, te teate kes ma olen
jah madam, meil on vinge stiil
loodan, et peate sammu
me ronisime põhjast tippu
nüüd meid ainult armastatakse

Kui ma oleksin rikas tüdruk
vaata, mul oleks kogu maailma raha kui ma oleks jõukas tüdruk
ükski mees ei saaks mind proovile panna, mulle muljet avaldada, mu raha vool ei lõppeks kunagi
sellepärast, et mul oleks kõik maailma raha kui ma oleks jõukas tüdruk

Task #11 - My favourite artist

1.When/ where did you first hear them?
 I heard it first when I was browsing youtube for some good DnB mixes.
2.What music do they play?
DnB
3.When did they first become well known?
They're not very widely known now, which is one of the reason I like it ( not mainstream). They've been around for about 2 years.
4.Has their music been influenced by anyone?
Not that I know of.
5.Do they write or record their own music?
Yes, they compose their own.


I also like that they're music is original, you can never catch resemblance in different songs. The songs are powerful and I like to listen to their mixes with both earphones on and the volume maxed out, that's when it really gets to me.

Task #10 - Film review

Directed by David Fincher
Starring Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Helena Bonham Carter
Film cover:























Trailer:


The movie talks about a narrator (Edward Norton) who suffers from insomnia. His doctor refuses to give him medicine and advises him to visit support groups, he then joins support groups that don't relate to his problem ex. cancer. But then he meets another person doing the same thing (going to support groups) Marla Singer (Bonham Carter). After a flight home from a business trip, the narrator finds his apartment destroyed by an explosion. He calls Tyler Durden (Pitt), a soap salesman who he had met in the plane, and they meet at a bar. After leaving the bar Durden knows the narrator is looking for a place to stay. He stays at Durden's place. Later they visit the bar again, after that Durden wants to know wether the narrator can fight, when was the last time he fought and such, so he asks the narrator to punch him, few punches from one another it leads to a (friendly) fight. This attracts other citizens to do the same thing. Soon it goes "officcial", they rent a special place to do fights every night. Durden and the narrator, being the leaders of it, set up a few rules and there assembles the "Fight club".

The film is good, it's old but it's good. The good film isn't that good with the good actors ofcourse who fit there perfectly. The director excluding the fight club has made other good movies I have seen like: "Se7en" (Seven) and the Social network. The Fight club is not booring to watch at all. It ends rather unexpectedly. So you can't predict what happens in the end, as you can in most of the Hollywood films.

Task #8 - An exciting job

Jaime Rascone is no different than the rest of us in that the. But the Chilean lothario has all of us beat by holding the type of fantasy job that just sounds too good to be true: Quality Control in a brothel. Rascone, an occasional male model and DJ, first happened upon Fiorella Companions in Santiago, Chile while working on a story about the country's sexual revolution. He was offered the gig by Madam Fiorella, who needed somebody to provide that final "interview" in her hiring process. It goes like this: girls who are interested in working as VIP escorts for Fiorella have to undergo interviews, psychological testing, and a photo session. The applicants are whittled down to a final six, who are then f***ed one after the other in a single day by Jaime.

The article describing Jaime's profession really needs to be seen to be believed, as it describes the yawning coffee-slurping Director of Quality Control starting out his day on "Mariana the stewardess" after making a phone call to a nightclub he manages. His day continues in this fashion as each candidate, all in their early 20's, make their way into his "office" (which is equipped, of course, with a stripper pole and a suitcase full of condoms.)The strain of the job is actually such that he can only do it once a month, testing around seventy girls or so a year.

We want to believe that this, like any other job, just eventually gets really boring and tedious, inevitably draining you of your soul and will to live.

Christmas in Paraguay

Christmas is the most important event in Paraguay. It's also a tourist destination for people who want to see how they celebrate christmas. People are enthusiastic about christmas in Paraguay because the people are mostly Roman Catholic and celebrate the festival of christmas.  Paraguay Christmas is one of the widely celebrated festival throughout the country. It is popular among tourists as well as the local people who are very interested in celebrating the grand festival in a traditional way. The people of Paraguay are in a mood of holiday during the festival since they enjoy it with their friends and families. The streets are well lighted and decorated with flowers and other decorative materials. The New Year in Paraguay is also celebrated with a grand festival. And toursit are also interested in the festivals. New Year in Paraguay is celebrated with charm and joy.


 The reason I chose Paraguayan customs is because it was the most random country that had enough information on christmas. Unlike some (Gambia, Cape Verde, Congo, Sierra Leone, Guyana, Eritrea, Burundi, Barbados, Lesotho, Central African Republic, Mauritania, French Polynesia, Benin, Malawi, Togo, Malta, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Tajikistan, Gabon, Zambia, Rwanda, Niger, Mayotte, Western Sahara, Serbia and Montenegro, Guernsey, Liberia, Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, Montserrat, Tokelau, Svalbard, Guinea-Bissau, Niue, Wallis and Futuna, and Benin, Swaziland, Lesotho)which are the ones I considered.
I guess I didn't have a second reason.
