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"

NYC shades of grey...

in a city like that, everything seems to catch your attention...

Crazy buzy week! (loving it, btw!)
Hope you don't mind the NYC shots...

"There's enough metaphysics in not thinking about anything.

What do I think about the world?

I don't know what I think about the world!"

(Alberto Caiero) 

(I found this old Pessoa's - my favorite poet - book while I was cleaning my bedroom this week...)

killing time...

at the airport...

Daddy's going away on vacation and decided to take me with him. Actually, the whole reason of the trip was that I would come along... :o)
We're taking the american music road, from New Orleans to Nashville, stoping in Memphis.
Boarding in about about an hour... will read, comment and post as much as I can... 


For now, I'll leave you with a few images of my busy busy busy week...
wishing you all a lovely weekend!

petits bouts de ma Paris à moi...

Paris can be many things for many people, but let me tell you that for me it goes beyond the Eiffel Tower...
is the place where I have my second family... 
is where I have such dear friends...
the greatest souvenirs...
where know my way around...
where I feel safe and "home", even if it's so far away from mine...


heading to the airport... 
I leave you with a few images of "my Paris"...

the day of the dead...

I saw a movie called "nosso lar" (which would be something like "our home") last Saturday... It's about after life...  I don't discuss religion, but, it did get me thinking... a LOT! Borrowed the book from my grandma... it was my grandfather"s... it's written Antônio Alves Sobrinho São Paulo Maio 1979... I wasn't even born!!!
I miss my grandpa very much, even if he died almost 15 years ago... but we talk a lot... if you know what I mean? ;o)
Do you guys ever think about those stuff?

Well, as usual, it's been crazy around work... yesterday I arrived at 7h15 AM and left at 9h30 PM!! Thank's God today was a holiday! I was writing to a friend and while doing it I thought that I'm actually starting to learn to like what I do. It's NOT what I've always dreamed of, but it's a nice job... I get to meet different people... practice my languages... drive a lot (even if it's tiring sometimes, I still LOVE it!)... and I laugh a lot...


Well, I took the day off to get some rest!
Read a bit, watch a movie (saw "the bad teacher"), and now I'm off to have same japanese food with a friend. yummy... :oP
Tomorrow fridge images! 
For now, the usual random of the week...
and some music, of course...
