lusarab

It's impressive how similar we, Brazilian people, descendants of Portugueses, are in relation to Arabs. Namely concerning gastronomy.

Some ties I've noticed:

- Cabagge;
- Condensed milk;
- Esfihas;
- Kibes;
- Lentils;
- Olive oil (in Portuguese: azeite, from the Arabic az-zayt);
- Oranges (in Portuguese: laranjas, from the Arabic naranj);
- Rosemary (in Portuguese: alecrim, from the Arabic al-iklil);
- Sirup (in Portuguese: xarope, from the Arabic xarab);
- Sugar (in Portuguese: açúcar, from the Arabic as-sukar)

More:

- Blue (in Portuguese: azul, from the Arabic al-lzaward);
- Cotton (in Portuguese: algodão, from the Arabic al-kutun);
- Custom (in Portuguese: alfândega, from the Arabic al-funduq);
- Market/warehouse (in Portuguese: armazém, from the Arabic al-Makhzan);
- Migraine  in Portuguese: enxaqueca, from the Arabic xaqiqa)
- Tile (in Portuguese: azulejo, from the Arabic al-zuleij)

Among lots of other examples...

Well, it's natural. Moors invaded Portugal from 8th century... Something always remains, in different branchs.

Actually, even in both languages we detect a huge association. Probably, the fact of living abrod has enabled me to distinguish and recognize such parity more easily.

a la italiana

I just realized that in Italian I’m more than only ‘Vanessa’: Bruna, Bianca, Carina.

By the way, due to my (European + Brazilian) features, it is said I look like an Italian woman. So, it would not has been impossible being some kind of inspiration for Leo work?!

Who doesn't want to have his own image immortalized? However, I’d rather to be someone’s muse at the present moment, even not represented in an art product, but being only in this person's mind and stand by his side in a lovely way... forever. 

Forse un Italiano, perche no?!

não sei o que acontece...

Bebês e japoneses são tão lindinhos enquanto pequeno, pena que crescem... Na boa, deve ter, mas eu não conheço UM japonês homem adulto realmente gato.

Mulher sim, existe. Há, inclusive, todo um fetiche acerca das gueixas, orientais em geral - seja por sua beleza excêntrica, exótica, ou por sua submissão, comportamento esse que agrada a muitos... Mas homem nipônico, ou nissei, sansei, yonsei, gossei... não sei, de fato.

De repente, quanto mais misturado, maiores as chances da receita dar certo... Lamento, pois, uma vez que seus filhotes nascem agraciados, poderiam eles envelhecer assim também! Quando e por que isso acontece? Onde se perdem belos traços?
