One more year

Today, I'm officially one year older.
The perfect birthday gift will be everything working out so I can move to my new flat on Saturday morning. Fingers crossed!

Os Filhos da Pauta

Personally, I hate hated Carnival in Brazil. I don't didn't like the samba schools, the parades, the parties. The exception are the traditions in Recife and Olinda, but I think these are interesting and that's it.
But friends can convince us of doing unexpected things. This is how I ended up at a party organized by the Journalists Union, in Santos. It was on the beach (not my cup of tea either) and I still had lots of fun. Of course, this has nothing to do with the music they played there.
It was just really good to meet friends from college. It's been four years since I graduated and I haven't seen most of them during this time. It was so nice hearing the stories and knowing what they are doing.

New flat

Lately, I'm reading magazines and checking websites about construction and decoration. Very soon, I'll choose what I want to get for my new flat. It's pretty exciting and such a big step. At least the bureaucratic part is all solved.
During some time, I thought I should be happier about this. But as moving time approaches, I think more and more about it.
I wanna go shopping for sinks and taps and tiles!

The year started with lots of things to be done. I feel a little bit messed up and not really motivated for a couple of things. On the other hand, I feel so hopeful about good things happening in 2009.

2009

I wish everyone a great 2009.

Never Gonna Fall In Love Again

Something snapped me out of a dream that I was having
I'd falled down an elevator shaft but now I'm back again
Tidying up after the fight we had
Happy with yourself?
Well, you've never looked so satisfied
Teasing me with stuff like a spolit little brother
You finished yet?
Have you got what you really want?

Relief

Today was the last day for the semester of the photo course I'm taking. I handed in a folder with the exercises I did. The photo above is in it.
At the same time I'm glad I'll have vacation, because I really need to rest a bit, I'm anxious about starting the second part. I've been told it will be a totally different rhythm.
