Beaujolais Nouveau...

Yes, I've lived in Paris for 6 years and yet I don't drink wine...
nevertheless, every single year she would invite me for the beaujolais nouveau... and I used to go... and even tried one of the not so great wines in France... just for he fun of the game... but after a sip or two I would just go back to my friend coca-cola.... :o)
Sometimes I look back and have some trouble realizing that it was all true...
I don't know f I make sense... But the thing is... it WAS real... and I still have some trouble not calling that "my life"...


I know the sight is not new, but that's the only bedroom view I have, and I quite like it... You can take the girl out of the city, but you can never take the city out of the girl... :o)

you've got mail...

and I got this the other day...
made me smille... :o) 
When I was little they would say that if we dig a hole into the ground, we would end up in Japan...
Well, I'd rather take the plane... it's a long enough trip for me to tire myself digging an enormous hole...

may you always do for others and let others do for you...

Yesterday we had our dearest import/export manager b-day party here at home...
We've barbecued, laughed, gossiped, drank, etc etc etc from 6PM till 4AM. (quite a party, huh?)


Times like this I think back about what I was told back in Paris... and even though I'm liking it a lot, I can't help but being amazed with the people I'm turning closer...


Anyway... it was a great weekend... I'm tired and ate a great deal, but had a very good time!
Hope your week end was also fine!


listening... 

panoramic...

One of my tasks at work is to take pictures. Actually is to take boring pics of the clients art work (and by art work, I mean anything that comes with a frame). But the good thing is that, the company provides me with a camera... since mine broke, a couple of weeks ago they gave me a new one, and guess what? It takes panoramic pictures!!!! I was so so so so so so happy that I spent the entire day taking panoramic pictures around the office...

how big do you need it to be?

Here's baby fridge... and some great news! grandma is refurnishing her apartment and she decided to give me her old set of sofas... now we're renewing them and I'll put one of them in my bedroom (I'll just save the others for when I have my own place).
Now I'm looking for a micro wave... but I want a cute and functional one... any suggestions?
Since I can't afford to have an apartment, I'm, for now, turning my bedroom into a small one... lol :o)

this one is on repeat...

that would be my living room/dining room/study room/kitchen. Not bad, huh?

just breathe...

I know I promised the images of my fridge, and they WILL come (actually the post is ready)...
The delay is due to me attending my teenage idol concert last night...
I remember that the first time they came to Brazil it was, like, a 
month AFTER I moved to France... I was sooooooo disappointed... 

When I look back I remember clearly the first time I set eyes (and ears) on them... it was THIS video... (OMG can you please not look at the date? lol). I ran to the phone and colled my friend saying: who the hell are them? I'm in love! lol :o)

Back on the VHS era (and long before youtube) I would stare at MTV for hours to record the videoclips and then, watch it over and over again... some of them (like this one) I still know by heart (and when I say by heart I don't mean the lyrics, but every single movement of the video... oh the teenagers... lol)
Well, the thing is, I went to their concert in Paris and then, again, last night... it's amazing how something can just drag you back in time... for 2h15 they turned me into a 12 year old all over again... 


here's one song that I really like and they played last night...

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...
