Octomom or maybe act about men men she I

4:56

don't know how to say it in Portuguese

4:57

but there's a word that looks almost

5:00

exactly like the word actually and it

5:02

means now in your language but in

5:05

English don't listen to your heart in

5:08

English this means in reality it does

5:11

not mean now so we are comparing

5:15

something to reality let's take a look

5:18

at a couple examples the food looked

5:21

strange but actually it tasted good so

5:26

here we have a comparison between the

5:28

way the food looked which was strange

5:31

and the way the food tasted which was

5:34

good so we have reality the taste and

5:37

the way it looked maybe the way I

5:39

perceived it in my mind the other day I

5:42

was gonna go to a museum and I said oh

5:44

we can't go to the museum because I saw

5:46

that it's closed on Mondays and my

5:48

friend said actually in the summer it's

5:52

open on Mondays so she was comparing my

5:57

reality to her reality that well in

6:04

summertime
