“I belong to this notebook and this pencil”

I read books over and over again. I have an enormous list of books I want to read (some of them I already bought), and then, I catch myself reading one of my favorites for the 1000000000th time.
I've been dreaming in French, so, I think I got nostalgic and Hamingway's "a movable feast" is my new old best friend.

"But then I knew that everything good and bad left an emptiness when it stopped. But if it was bad, the emptiness filled up by itself. If it was good you could only fill it by finding something better."

A glimpse of souvenirs

It's weird but cold and rainy days make me think back to my childhood, when mom would dress us up in our big blue school uniform coats and we were supposed to stay inside the classroom waiting to be picked up. It's either that, or some random rainy, chilly, grey walk at the Champs Élysées, running to catch a movie.

Minds do work in mysterious ways... 

"hanging around, nothing to do but frown

rainy days and Mondays always get me down"

Just take a look around...

Wandering through São Paulo streets on these sunny winter days...

Are you living your dream?

Just for today, let’s pretend everything's ok. More than ok, just for today, let’s pretend everything’s perfect. Just for today, let’s pretend there’s nothing else but this. Just for today…

Just for today let’s focus on the bright side. Let me remind myself that I’m actually where I wanted and worked hard to be, just for today. Just for today, I’ll put all my worries aside and will smile.  Will smile for things may, actually, not be perfect, but I’m on the right path, just for today. Just for today, I’ll have it in mind. What about you, are you living your dream ?

I'm not led, I lead!

Today's a local holiday... it's São Paulo's 458th birthday...

"A new day started

The ones that were going are now coming back,

It's time to arrive.

By metro I'll get there first,

If time's money

Great, I'll make some.

Always fast on the street,

As someone who knows what they want.

The Paulista goes on

Ready for better or worse.

The city does not wake up,

it just sets its position.

Because everything is repeated,

It's seven, and at seven

The crowd explodes.

Iron door lifting...

Everybody seems to be running...

They're not running '"from" they're  running "to"

To make São Paulo bigger!"

la chute!

Those pictures were inside my Nikon when I decided to use it after a couple of years... I had NO IDEA what to expect, I even hesitated and thought that I shouldn't develop it... glad I did, though... It had 3 images, taken about 4 years ago... one ugly pic of the notre dame and those 2... I liked them for some reason... I remember those flowers on the right side behind of the Eiffel tower when you're facing the école militaire... ad my bedroom window...
gret moment to find those french memories...
Happy 14th of July everyone! :o)

I thought myself to believe every story I told!

For so long I was out in the cold,
and I taught myself to believe every story I told.
It was fun hanging onto the moon, heading into the sun,
but it's been too long. Now I wanna come home.

Came so close to the edge of defeat.
But I made my way in the shade, keeping out of the heat.
It was fun shooting out of the stars, looking into the sun,
but it's been too long. Now I wanna come home.

Home. Where's there's nothing but sweet surrender,
to the memories from afar.
Home. To the place where the truth lies waiting,
we remember who we are.

For too long I was out on my own.
Every day I spent trying to prove I could make it alone.
It was fun hanging onto the moon, heading into the sun,
but it's been too long. Now I wanna come home.

Home.

For so long I was out in the cold,
but I taught myself to believe every story I told.
It was fun hanging onto the moon heading into the sun,
but it's been too long. Now I wanna come home.

Yeah, it's been too long, now I want to come home.
Been too long, now I want to come home.

Sunny Sunday...

familia, ê! familia, à! familia...


my first "real" camera was this Nikon FM10 that I tried out last week...
