Listen carefully to this video to understand the story.
The mother asks: “Where are you off to?”
It’s another way to ask: “Where are you going?”
“Where are you heading to?”
“In which direction are you going?”
To be off means to leave, to go, especially in a hurry.
Examples:
“I must be off.”
“Right, so where are you off to then?”
And what about the message of this story?
Yesterday I was talking to someone abroad and at the end of our friendly chat, he said: “Don’t be a stranger!” Do you know what that means?
Got it? So “don’t be a stranger”! Come back soon to visit my blog!
Coldplay returned to Brazil this last week for the final shows of the record-breaking A Head Full Of Dreams Tour!
My best memories of them come from a very special graduation ceremony I attended, in which this song was played!

Não faz sentido deixar ir algo que você teve por tanto tempo. Mas também não faz sentido manter/segurar, quando na verdade não há nada.
A frase inglesa sense of humor é facilmente entendida até por brasileiros que não estudam inglês. Mas, é difícil inferir corretamente o significado das orações come to your senses e make somebody see sense. Você as compreende? Se não, leia com atenção.

Eu suponho que algum dia tudo fará sentido.

TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.
TEDx is an international community that organizes TED-style events anywhere and everywhere — celebrating locally-driven ideas and elevating them to a global stage.
This last weekend Blumenau hosted the TEDxBlumenauWomen, an independently organized event, one of the two licenses granted to Brazil, to hold the TEDWomen2017: Bridges , a three-day conference about the power of women and girls to be creators and change-makers, which took place in New Orleans a few days ago.
“Let’s take part of this global conversation about our shared future! The more you enter into it, the more you will take out!”
