gratitude

Maybe because I'm getting old, becoming more mature and wise, then start to see things im a different way... Perhaps also inpired by some movies as Le Scaphandre et le Papillon, Amores Perros, among others we've watched. 

The fact is that, by now,  I strongly feel we should thank for being fine. Only this. In other words: not just realize while bad, sad, or sick, how both pleasant and great is being happy, having good health and peace of mind. Thus, praying heavily to heal as soon as possible, summoning all saints, God and nature.

Life might change so fast... we never know. So, I've thought about that, when well. Furthermore, I'm very grateful when I can smile freely, easily, with no pain, no ill(ness). And then, remind all of them (that are always there), spellbound by beauty of life, possibility of changes... as butterflies one.

Thanks! ♥

I really don't know if they realize that their country (where they were born, live, moved... whatever!) is fantastic! Without false modesty.

Of course it's not perfect (there are many problems, a lot of points to improve). Anyway, though, it's perfect in the imperfect way it is: too cold and so far, (or even 'that smooth!') - as almost all suppose.

For me, five stars: a d-r-e-a-m!

That's how I honestly see it: with much love. After all, I fell of it! I own... Here, I'm very warm in that I am in my lover arms.

I'm immensely glad for coming. I feel myself welcome here, "home".

Furthermore, their goal (at leat in Quebec) seems not be the same of their neighbors. Overall, hey don't partake of American Dream, not even their crazy fears (ironically presented by Michael Moore in this funny video of Bowling for Columbine). 

Ñe'ẽ

More than words... A tragedy in Brazil!

Firstly, it was the colonizers - Portugueses and Spanishs. Then, Catholic church. Later, farmers and cattlemen-landowners (well, leaseholders... inasmuch they took possession of wide territories which before belonged to Indians), passing for young bourgeois criminals who lit native people on fire alive (supposing be dealing with a indigent - honestly, a ridiculous excuse!). Finally, both government and police... All accomplices to native Brazilian indians extinction.

Well, their enemies are many. Indirectly, they are even more copious... society, included! - after all, silence implies consent. Nevertheless, a huge repercussion took place on social networking in the last days. Even though just online (and so late!)... It's something!

Tired of fighting for the right of living in their own land, the entire Brazilian tribe Guarani-kaiowa (a community of 50 men, 50 women and 70 children) decided to commit mass suicide. It's pitful and regrettable the incompetence of  Stade towards their cause.

A genocide has happened since the discovery - many murders, besides living waiver, from Indians. It's not difficult to understand their intends once we give their concept of live its rightful relevance. Thus, we will understand all complexity and difficulty of their Teko Porã (welfare) nowadays. Furthermore, grasping their reasons, we'll learn more about word, the true and soul based on it (for them, Ñe'ẽ - soul word; for us, something worthless, once we are used to not keep promises). 

So, considering their letter announcing their extermination, we must not wait another thing by them - unless Brazilian powers don't let the worst achieve... Hellooooo! Somebody there?!

Sincerely, for me (from the bottom of my heart), the life of these 170 persons is more significative and also important than the ones of our 531 federal deputies or even of the hundreds owners of farms located in Mato Grosso do Sul. Or all them together!

love transforms!

A frog to a prince, a skeleton to a rose (healthy) person.

What a difference! Further: what a power of changing! 

Stronger than love, only the determination for it, for good.

Pull somebody out of the gutter its not possible when it isn't a personal will, a wishing one. Others just help.

Certain: true/self love =  welfare!

a shot in the arm

Sometimes, far in the day, the only thing that every woman (or most part of them) need is a delicious éclair - just to relax, in addition of making clear the ideas, to think better...

On the other hand, each one eaten, represents at least one hour at gym, working out. Compensations… Thus, I swear I can’t feel myself guilty once I’m sure that later I’ll make good a loss.

As I have taken it into my life, stable physical exercises serve so as to make me happy, less angry. When moving, I'm lastly relieved, free of any blame or hate... Of course, no more bombarding anyone even during the PMT!

gaining my ends

How far can I reach while running more than seven kilometres and riding a bike for one hour every day?

Sometimes, during the exercises, I think about that: where am I going? To my dreams, once I can imagine me slimmer.

It’s a paradox, but my aim is 'less'. .. fatness, fewer kilos than in my early working out days. As a result of so effort, getting the better of it, obtaining more strengthened muscles, vigour and robustiousness.

When health is the main issue, less is more - both wellness and life quality. In this case, weight and self-esteem are inversely proportional.

I’m sure I’m in the right way: making me thin, besides turning me more physically attractive (ready to love again).

wellness feelings

It’s quite good when can be seen the workout effects. As a result of frequent visits to gym, little (but significant) changes have been noted on my body.

Further, some alternative attitudes are important to turn it possible faster. Going upstairs, having less soft drinks, walking more… Thus, is clear that not only physical exercises are necessary.

Behavioural modifications are essential. So, I’m naturally avoiding the idea of eating much chocolate on Sunday Easter, or by all holiday. However, stirring the body allow me to take ice cream blameless and my pop corn appetence irresistible.    

Goals - I'm satisfied with mine (even being hard to be gotten).

Em homenagem à minha mãe, que sua e sofre muito em dias como os que seguem:

Mas que calooooooor! Chama o capeta, que o inferno é aqui!

Noites sem brisa, sol escaldante, interiores abafados, quentes. Nunca vi isso! Nem dois circuladores de ar estão dando conta! - um de teto e outro direcional. Serão necessários três aparelhos a partir de agora?

Tudo bem que Rio é 40º, mas tá demais! Quase impossível dormir sem ar condicionado – e olha que eu sempre preferi os ventiladores. Seu efeito parece menos maléfico por não me atacar as ‘ites’ que acabam comigo no dia seguinte, logo pela manhã.

Com ar, lá pelas tantas, passo frio. Não fico à vontade. A pele resseca. O vento, por mais que faça folhas voarem, e remexa em tudo que está solto, é menos intenso. Para mim, parece perfeito o intervalo de sua rotatividade.

Pescoço suado, cabelos encharcados na nuca, muita sede, falta de apetite... Quando é assim, digo sincera que gostaria de morar nos saguões gélidos em que chego, permanecer eternamente no conforto de uma temperatura agradável, refrescante.

Tá certo que, por vezes (e principalmente aqui no Rio), exagere-se nos poucos graus celsius em alguns ônibus, metrôs e outros ambientes mesmo quando não é necessário. 20º na rua e em torno de 15º dentro - não é racional isso.

O melhor dessa sauna toda é que é ‘bom suar’ - principalmente NAQUELES momentos especiais. Não em exagero, claro, mas que faça colar os corpos. Sexo sem isso pra mim parece que não tem graça... E para você?
