deux poids et deux mesures

Mon astrologue m'a dit une fois, en analysant ma carte du ciel, que s'il y a quelque chose que m'écœure, c'est bien de l'injustice... Puis elle a frappé au but!
 

Voici un example d'une situation que me fait chi*r:
 

M est avec F. Cependant, ses amis l'incintent à tromper sa blonde avec C, car C est une (vieille) fille très tripante, alors que la belle F est pas mal timide et ne participe pas tellement des activités du gang de son chum.  
 

Un jour, la relation de M et F est finie à cause de leur problèmes conjugales. Au bout d'un moment, F trouve quelqu'un d'autre, puis M se fâche contre elle. 

Et encore pire: les mêmes camarades qui l'avaient appuyé à tromper sa copine dans le passé, la jugent maintenant. Après tout, "pauvre lui..."!
 

De l'hypocrisie, je ne supporte pas ça!

Au lieu de condamner son ex pour poursuivre sa vie, pour quoi Monsieur M (à la fin: célibataire) ne profite pas de ce moment où il est libre pour conclure ce qu'il a commencé pendant qu'il était encore en couple?

Si C était aussi parfaite, pour quoi il n'est pas avec maintenant? En plus, il a toujours eu l'aveu de ses copains! Tous comptes faits, où sont justement ces compagnons pour le stimuler à faire la bonne chose là là, en définitive?
 

M n'a pas été correct avec F avant, en ayant l'appui de ses proches pour la trahir. Au moment où F finalement essaye d'être heureuse avec une autre personne (peut-être un homme plus loyale, qui la valorise, enfin), la critique tombe sur elle.
 

F*CK YOU! Qui a un toit de verre ne tire pas de pierres chez son voisin...
 

Je hais les gens comme ceux-ci. Je me demande ce qu'ils ne pensent/parlent pas de moi dans mon dos!   
 

Il y a une leçon qu'on apprendre en veillissant: qui dit des choses méchantes à propos des autres, va le faire contre toi aussi.  

Des faux amis... Mangez de la m*rde!

I'm not taking current circumstances as a tax. No... Let's look on the bright side: each obstacle we pass through, make us even stronger.

Difficulties adduce the truth. Barbs, grief and bitterness come along. It's impossible hide to it for long time.

Before, I was alone... Now, two years on, I'm happy, settled, sharp, hearty and powerful. After all, who has good friends and a family who loves you, has everything ♥

I'm married and blessed. And you?!

The giant has just awoken to finally make a living. 

in Rio

No words to describe how beautiful is this DVD of Bebel Gilberto... I was simply agape while watching it.

Everything perfect: her voice and the melody at that unequaled landscape - during the day, sunset and night... Wow! So nice... I just regret not being there for its footage.

I miss Rio so much! - not only the postcard, but everything which comes along: friends, buzz, career, respect, recognition...Well, it must come at the right moment. 

After all, I remember who I am:

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand / Just like that river twisting through a dusty land / And when she shines she really shows you all she can / Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

A gold gift! Thank you ♥

R.I.P.

Dominguinhos waited all St John's parties pass to finally rest in peace.

Bye feline friends ♥

well come on

My friendship's mantra from now:

"Because we are your friends You'll never be alone again"

everything

Friends... Who has them, is never alone.

hey...

Today, is the 241st anniversary of Porto Alegre, my birthplace.

I miss it a lot - because of my family and friends, and also by virtue of its singular charm. I'm very proud to be originally from there, to can say I'm 'Gaúcha' even before considering me a Brazilian (deep roots we never lose, despite the fact of moving far away).

What is more, I would like to show all you guys from where nice people like me come... that's why I chose this encyclopedic pic besides writing a long introduction in English, which is more universal.

Well, here it is: my homage! Poa, I love you ♥

 

vida que segue...

Aniversário  do Rio! 
(saudade dele e dos meus...)

Alegrias e decepções da vida. 
Medo, dúvida, dor...

Amor, fé, esperança. Outro recomeço.

Inspiração pra escrever. Desabafo...

classy

Honestly: 

Don't you want to be my friend???

So, f*ck you!

I don't give a shit.

Seriously. 

It's better without you, indeed.

warmly

Specially now (while seeing everybody at sea course), when questioned about what I miss the most, the answer is simple and comes easily: the beach.

Summer culture, carioca life style... hot season, taking a dip, sun on skin, friends to have a draft (actually, many...), to enjoy music and the city - with swing. Carnival, I love you!

Finally, the family to heat my heart.

Saudades, Brasil!

two Valentinas;

two other boys and one girl whose parents haven't choose their name yet;

and two others we are expecting to know the sex.

The best of all these babies and pregnancies is that they are of friends. From important people to me. Real, close.

the last kiss

 

mais amor, menos rancor

O quanto podemos suportar desajudados?

Alguns dizem que quando falamos algo, isto ganha força ao exteriorizarmos.

Ao mesmo tempo, pergunto-me quão mal nos faz o fato de remoer sentimentos interiormente, sem desabafar a respeito. Com o tempo, podem tomar conta da gente!

Compartilha-los parece-me ser afim de aliviar as tensões, as agonias e transtornos pessoais, não?! Uma vez divididos, penso que enfraquecem dentro de nós.

Se fôssemos capazes de superar sozinhos tais problemas, creio que seria dispensável o trabalho dos colegas psicólogos e psiquiatras. E não é o caso... Ombros e ouvidos amigos se fazem igualmente necessários.

Bom, o que eu sei é que as coisas tem a dimensão e importância que damos a elas. Independemente. Só tememos o que (a)creditamos.

resolução

O primeiro a pedir desculpas é o mais corajoso.
O primeiro a perdoar é o mais forte.
E o primeiro a esquecer é o mais feliz.

for every thing there is a season

When we are in our twenties, we love to be always surrounded by friends, to share everything with... even our room, the apartment, our entire lives and home. However, growing up, things change. Mates too. 

Privicy is required, then. Being in forties, in couple, married, with a family formed, it's not the ideal live in some kind of tree house, accomodated like in a camping, as teenagers, in an eternal immature party(life). 

Time passes... Ok, unless you are an indian, a hippie, a member of alternative communities, a junkie, or if you are VERY broken to have autonomy, you are not going to agree. It's nonsense, com'on!

Helloooo! Welcome to adult normal life. 

___________________________________________________________  

Divorced, with kids, as showed in La Galère (a big house divided by four women and their children), I sincerely suspect that it doesn't work anyway... After all, in fiction everything looks great.

Maybe, in the seventies, in a place as Les Résidences Soleil, community life might be a coherent option.

l'automne est bon pour moi

La phrase est du livre de Mara Tremblay que je suis en train de lire, 'Mon amoureux est une maison d'automne'. Un beau cadeau que j'ai reçu de chers amis.
 

C'est vrai: ce période me fait rêver... Travail, famille, voyages, rencontres, maison, minou, pitou, bébé, enfants. L'avenir de la vie.
 

Tout ça va arriver, mais chacun à la fois, au bon moment. Comme il faut.

Pour une autre saison...

good sportsmanship

For who learned how to play cards before writing, amuse myself by games it's not a novelty.

Nevertheless, it's ALWAYS a good experience! - between friends, couples, in family, with own children, or other kids.

I like competition, use track logically, improve performances, share knowledge, help people in order to enjoy the moment together.

The die is cast... Good luck!

avec beaucoup d'amour

Comme le temps passe rapidement! 
(presque six mois depuis notre mariage déjà...)

Nous sommes plus heureux que jamais. Alors, on profite de cette bonne phase pour remercier à tous amis et parentés pour votre générosité et affection.

Cela restera pour toujours en nos cœurs.

Merci! ♥

unFARTunatelly

Guys fart... fact! Inevitably. 

Since they were kids. Sometimes, between friends (as a competition, a men joke); others, as a "tradition" (or skill), passed down from father to son. Anyway, they have fun doing that!

Loud and clear. Further: WITHOUT shame!

Even while trying to be gentle, in couple, during 'romantic' moments as making love, for example, they simply CAN NOT hold in. It's stronger than them.

Regardless, there are different types of farts for each time... 
(*well, once we can't avoid it, let's laugh at least!)

If you can't beat them, join them... (!)

Men: can't live with them, can't live without them.

one year has passed since then

366 days in Montreal (*2012, a leap year). Not even one of regretting, though.

I'm very happy about my choice, all changes.

Good luck maybe? Yes. I would also say: good FRIENDS.

Furthermore: I found love! (or he found me... actually, BOTH!).

Life giving us another chance... the universe conspiring in our favor.

Ok, I'm REALLY pretty lucky. I couldn't ask anything else!

Only good things to celebrate today and so on. THANKS, life!

___________________________________________________________

By the way, SPECIAL gratefulness to Dedé, Beto, Isadorable and Jeremy!

(besides my mother, evermore! ♥ ) 

Oh, and I couldn't forget: for that la pétanque redhead guy I fortunately met at Lafontaine Park, too. Their friend... An impressive story! After all, nothing happens by accident.

How could I foget Saint Nicholas? 

Once he pointed me to this destination (literally!), he is also responsible for my happiness.

cool in my way

What is necessary do to be accepted by others?

I may say: be in your own way. Well, that's what I've been doing, even if I err sometimes (after all, nobody is perfect!).

Exotic, shy, a little uncommunicative maybe (a insecurity on my part because of idiom)... I hope it is just due to that I feel myself put aside sometimes.

step father

He is ALMOST a father, in many cases. 

Furthermore, if he has his own children, and, even though, he DOES deal with us as with them, well, it proves he probably likes us as his ones.

We must respect that! It's important, the minimum... Efforts of  both parts.

Time has gone and what is really important remains. That's why we should valorize who is closer, participating of our lives.

___________________________________________________________ 

Being a member of a the family or equally integrate a circle of friends: it could be a big challenge!

specially for today

One swallow doesn't make a summer! 

Friends warm the life. 

I love mine. I miss them.

I'm very happy not to be alone, even far. 

Friendship has its internal feature. Genuine, it's something from inside to outside.... sincere.

My love is my best friend ♥
