fly high

After some changes, living permanently, in Canada.

Onward and upward!

dreaming does not costs anything

That's why I throw myself into, living it acutely.

Nonetheless, in real life, our safe harbor has a price.

649 - that's all I want (and we need) by now. Actually, only half of it!

perfection

Seeking mine, our peace. 

at home, anywhere...

Forget twitter, facebook or any other social media... 

My real and most loyal daily follower is my cat.

No matter what I do, my kitty is always there(!), moving behind me.

For many others, dogs. 

Unconditional love. True one ♥

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.

big deal!

Our dreams have the size of our wishes.

Once everything in the world becomes an expression of the Will (according my favorite philosopher, Schopenhauer), I think big!

A house for a cat - it's not too much to ask... ;)

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...

il sogno

(malgrado la realtà)

Però, un giorno, loro si incontrarono per via...

La Casa
Vinicius de Moraes, Sergio Bardotti e Sergio Endrigo 

Era una casa molto carina,
senza soffitto, senza cucina.
Non si poteva entrarci dentro
perché non c'era il pavimento.

Non si poteva andare a letto,
in quella casa non c'era il tetto.
Non si poteva fare pipì
perché non c'era vasino lì.

Ma era bella, bella davvero,
in Via dei Matti, numero zero.

danse gastronomique

Salades, hamburgers 'maison' (de bœuf ou de porc),  filets de poissons, sandwiches à l'œuf frit ou aux tomates et oignons,  croques-monsieur, œufs bénédictines, grilled cheeses, tacos,   poulets marinés au vin blanc ou tikka masala,  lasagnes d'aubergines ou de courgettes, pâtes (à la carbonara, à la sauce à spaghetti ou pesto), légumes grillés, saucisses miel et ail, saumons au jus d'orange, riz aux poireaux, crevettes, fondues, sauces hollandaises ou aux champignons, viandes panées, lentilles, patates pilées ou écrasées au fromage, sandwiches à la crème glacée,  gâteaux, 'caipirinhas', des jus, thés glacés, cafés (brésilien, au lait, à la crème ou cappuccino glacé)... Tout ça, chez nous, goût l'amour! 

Alors, on en profite. ♥

C'est le festin de "Vavette"!

Malheureusement, on ne fait pas (encore) du sushi à la maison.

Miam-miam... mesant que j'ai hâte! 

Bientôt, au restaurant. 

the knowledge house

That's what a library is! (even the small ones...)

They are full of wisdom. Most part of answers are there... So many explanations!

Further: magic stories, (fairy)tales, dreams... maps, recipes, tips, meanings, alternatives. Several universes in a single (unique) place!

Its books are its windows for the world, while through each one we can see it in a different way. A lot of possibilities, entire prosperity.

Well, I feel myself comfortable there, secure. I really appreciate only look at this silent and ample paradise (although he tells me a-plenty!).

My safe port. Enriqueta's too (actually, for anyone!).

faire contre mauvaise fortune bon coeur

On respect les choses de qui on aime, en défendant de les prendre pour rien n'arriver avec. Cependant, une "n'importe qui" vient chez nous et fouille "innocemment" dans ses affaires ... Câline! 

Intrusion: franchement, personne ne veut ça.

Il semble qu'il n'y ait même pas du Semancol ici... PANTOUTE!

P.S. Je suis tannée de faire toujours la discipline, de jouer la fine.

private garden

I support campaings of urban farming. However, differently of community gardens which exist in Montreal (an excellent idea, by the way!), I have my own organic one, which I cultivate alone.

Well, I'm also in favour of home gardening:

Mon jardin... I love that! ♥

less = more

Better than do nothing sometimes, is do it TOGETHER, with who you love...

Being at home on weekends, calm, naked (or almost...), laying down on the bed or couch, just standing to get something to eat, or change movies on DVD... This is life!

Happiness = simplicity, in good moments - mainly married.

cool

Music, dancing, beer/wine, among other things - besides of love, of course.

Sincerely, we don't need anything else... neither no one.

It's great that we can party in couple at home! (just the two of us ♥)

mermaid feelings

Like a child! Further: for the first time... I owned.

Having a bathtub at home is SO fun. I feel myself as a mermaid inside.

Vanity, peace and water and body contact - a perfect relaxing moment (alone...)!

*Maybe, later, in couple, it will be even better...

camping at home

All children enjoy playing that. At these days, I have a little less patience, I admit… mainly when in fact it is happening in my real life. As in its 'adult's' beginning, I’m living right now an atypical situation which requires me unfastening.

Although I’m not completely satisfied, I know that it is just a mere period which will pass very fast. Then, I will be able to laugh a lot due to that (soon!), while seeing stars in another context, exactly when my ‘little girl’ dreams come true.

*All in all, being grown ups sucks... It's too much responsability, many changes and problems to face that sometimes I wish to live an eternal childhood! (safe at my place, of course)

a homelife process

I used to be happy when living in an overfull house. Each one of my furniture meant a bit of my effort to make my place a comfortable one to live in.

Of course I know that a empty ambient is better to energy flows… to acquire others. However, it is necessary to give space for that!

It’s time to get in touch with things I always used to dream about… Thus, I’m trying to get rid of things to put me in a way of doing it.

One by one, I’m selling my history, everything I’ve conquered by now… Today I gave the first step for my dreams.

I sincerely would like not to have to come back, to carry back many things with me. I want to have some different from now.

I wish fill my new life, my home, with happiness, replete of useful things which will achieve me, bring me the materialization of my plans. Not material ones, though.

home sweet resistence

It’s unbelievable (as inadmissible!) how much cost to sustain a house in Rio. Lately I’ve read news about the abusive prices to maintain a dignified carioca life.

Properties here is more expensive than Paris! This, without include other spent such as feed, health, transport, communication…

Trends have increased sharply since 2006, reaching the peak at 380% compared with the past values. However, after knowing that Brazil is going to host the World Cup in 2014 and also the Olympic Games later, in 2016, it started to be really quite unfair.

Considering most part of local population salaries which remained constant or plateaued, the fact is that the economy is going exclusively along with the touristic numbers. Carioca’s reality is diverse of this bed of roses that is believed we live. But ok, I understand that is envied our way of life, even being poorer than other’s worldwise patterns... Blame of overvalued beachs and other postcard views.

Although it said that can open the window and admire Christ, the redeemer, is priceless…(!), this is a private treasure, just for a few  privileged rich people, who can pay (much) for seeing this beautiful known landscape so close. Thus, I'm miserably blessed (also for keeping the wolf from the door)!

aiming so far

Bad news… I received a bomb a couple years ago, which has changed my way, my routine. Not my objectives, though - fortunately.

I believe that nothing happens at random. Everything has a reason to be. Nevertheless, I haven’t found that yet.

I’ve felt lost, homeless - although I have my place besides knowing where I’m going to: keep moving on to, finally, move out, going for my dream.

About one year ago, I never thought it would be possible. It’s incredible how destiny works… Nowadays I have asked myself why I haven’t done it before!

I’m prepared to face all challenges related, setting my future.

transcending ideas

Words simply flows in his mind. He has sang both beautiful and smart verses as far back as I can remember. A perfect combination between writing and sound, structure and spelling, meaning and significance... That is the Arnaldo Antunes's music.

He have touched me so deep, always saying something about my present or past moments - home, life, love, desire, all feelings… His works seems me intensely complete, although I haven't read everything written by him. It's not necessary, though. I'm already convinced about.

I admit I didn't know this his last job live recorded in his own house last year to its full extent before going to see him in Circo Voador yesterday night. In fact, incredibly: I hadn't seen a entire concert of him yet, until now (in that unforgettable occasion).

Despite many (crazy) people don’t like him, I love his odd style. I don't quit to struggle for saying: it’s doesn’t do any good… for me, “tá consumado”! [Room and board - laundry too... After all, as its job's names already says: A casa é sua!]

My kingdom for knowing in what are he thinking about right now...even whitout saying anything using his unmistakable voice - my favorite one, inclusively!
