With some work friends ... ^^

HAHAHAH ... Always fun with them~

.: Rhino Mania :.

Depois do "Cow Parade" ... os rinocerontes invadem as ruas de Sao Paulo!

... hahaha ... it's called the RHINO MANIA! ^^ Bonitinhos tambem.

Essas sao as que eu vi perto de onde moro e trabalho.

.: Bolo de Cenoura :.

Entao, depois de muuuitos anos, fiz um bolo de cenoura!

.: SPRING is here!! :.

In 2011, Spring began today ... Sept. 23rd!

And because I yearly go to the flower market to begin my spring all flowery,

I went to CEAGESP today again!

The feeling that I get while I'm driving over there is anxiety,

then once I'm there, I have a mix of feelings

... excitement and tranquility! How could this be?!

But it's true! Looking at so many beautiful flowers

make me feel peace within my heart,

then again, the anxiety comes watching so many people there

so early in the morning (it opens at 5AM) carrying flowers

and arragements for ornamentation ... It's thrilling! ^^

That's why I think I go every year! Hihih ~

Well, I decided to take the day to just 'celebrate' this new season!

... and from the market, I only brought home with me a few types.

Sorry for the bad pictures.

I haven't been quite good at taking'em lately.

Yes, I did put some flowers even in my bathroom. ^^

.: Brotherly Love :.

On my way to work today,

this is what saw ... a brother holding hands

wih his baby sister waking to school.

How sweet, eh! ^^

Whenever I see beautiful things like this

I believe there's hope in this world.

.: After 18 Years :.

There are some friends that you have during school years

that once the school year is over, or when you leave that school

you just know you won't be in touch with anymore.

Well, to be honest, for me, James was one of them! ^^

(he knows I think ... or at least thought of him this way,

and if I'm not mistaken, he thought the same of me)

Anyhow, I do have to say that Facebook is what brought us together

after almost two decades!! Hahaha ...

It was unexpected, but truly amazing!

... as if we'd never been apart for all these years ...

conversation just flew like a daily snack time chat between classes,

if you know what I mean. And the best thing was ...

that we didn't talk about anything from our school days

... to the contrary, we talked about our current lives

and our near future plans.

James, our meet was incredible.

Just made me realize how good of friends we really were back then.

You're very special to me.

.: Love me Love me :.

... Love me love me
Say that you love me
Fool me fool me
Oh how you do me
Kiss me kiss me
Say that you miss me ...

.: Letter :.

Now, how sweet is this!

I got a "I miss you" letter from one of my pupils.

It was a very hard week for me at work,

but this little note just made all my stress go away,

and realize once more how everything I do does make a difference in the chidlren's lives

... for good or for bad.

So, dear Lord, help continue to do good

and the best I can ... to all around me!

John, you saved my week. Thank you!

.: My Very Own Masterpiece :.

... So this is what I'd started about two months ago ...

only this week I managed to finish it up!

I have to say that as my first knitting ... it turned out excellent!

... more knitting and crochet-ing are yet to come along ...
oh, just in case you're not sure what it is ... it's an afghan. ^^

.: Crochet & Knitting :.

I think I'm going to change my hobbies to cooking, sewing, knitting ...

I've found so many cute websites with so many talented people's handywork!

Hopefully I'll become like them someday~ ^^

Agulhas Pra que Te Quero

.: Jazz :.

First time I went to a jazz or jazzy bar here in Sao Paulo.

... it was out of the blues! Hahaha ...

I shall go back! ^^ Piratininga Bar

.: My Mansion :.

So today has been my official 2 weeks of living in my new apartment.

I have to say that these past 3 months were 'living hell' for me.

Of course there's a tone of complaint as I write this, but ... it really wasn't easy.

Well, I no longer want to think about the past.

From now on ... it's only JOY and HAPPINESS and PEACE

... and MUCH LOVE!!! ^^

.:Bizarre Love Triangle:.

Every time I think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
but it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
But there's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of the fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
Well, everyday my confusion grows

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say

I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way

I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
