vasa!

Sometimes, we just want to disappear (or somebody else to...) not believing in what is happening.

Nobody dies due to a low self-esteem. What is more, time heals everything and tomorrow is another day! 

God works in mysterious ways. I'm pretty sure it was a blessing in disguise.

Let's live each moment as it comes, after all: what doesn't kill me, makes me stronger.

Deu o cano, agora vasa!

be mine

I found it, hung on the handrail of a bar, missing. Perfect for me! At that moment and then.

About a year and half ago, I don't know how, when or where, I lost it. Unfortunately.
 

Brown, warm, versatile, basic... I confess that, many times, it was hard to manage without it.
 

One fine day (yesterday, to be more accurate), I went to a second hand shop, looking for something similar to wear under the coat. I even told my husband about that... Surprisingly, there was one! I-d-e-n-t-i-c-a-l. 

What a goog luck! Amazing. So far... So good! 

Well, it's said "If you love something set it free. If it comes back to you, it's yours. If it doesn't, it never was". Thus, more than never, I pretty think that it REALLY belongs to me. 

my life without me

No, it's not about the movie, despite having enjoyed it... It's about life, the real one. Mine.

Everything I've planned has become of others. On the side, at the time when I'm not there anymore.

It's just strange... Being a beholder of my old dreams which are finally coming true. However, too late for me.

Out of complaints, regrets or even sad unpleasant griefs, I can say, proud, loud and clear: so much the better!

Before, only possibilities; now, detachment.
 
Things happens when they should. It's not by chance the way they do... All in good time.

Otherwise, I'm pretty sure that everything it would be different. That is to say no changes. And, in the end, that's not what I've wanted.

All told: Away, I'm better. New aims! 

mettre le cap au sud

Laisser faire, se faire laisser, ou laisser - lui, nous... la ville, le pays (la planète, si possible!)?

À chacun, son destin.

Pour le bonheur des autres, d'une façon ou d'une autre.

Moi, j'ai déjà choisi: le mien. Au revoir!

on the board

Only one year together. So many things to celebrate, though.

A whole life changed, a big decision made. Choise... opportunity.

What is more, we have a promising future ahead of us. Everything which has passed, strengthen what is coming.

Nothing happens by chance.
___________________________________________________________

For this special moment, a good song by Cícero.

bridging people

It's astounding the way how certain people simply entered in our lives only in order to accomplish a mission. Sometimes, even unintentionally.

They come, and later they go... In some cases, we'll never see them again.

Could be they some kind of angels? Maybe.

In anyway, I would like just to thank these enlightened beings, specially for connecting me to others, bridging the gap between me and my dreams. They give them a chance to come true!

___________________________________________________________

Nothing happens by accident... let alone love.

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.

hands tied(?)

It’s wonderful when something you have expected for a long time finally happens, even more if you go all out! At this moment, you simply don’t know what exactly it means, though. Why?

Something changed at this meantime: new plans are in your mind; other feelings in your heart. Perhaps it was not the exact time to occurs…

However, if it didn’t happen before, it has a reason, although we don’t know that - or it is hard to believe. Actually, it was meant to be.

Probably, something better is coming… or, you are NOW, ready for it - able to enjoy it entirely as you couldn’t when you tried earlier.

Use your time well so as to give you enough experience to learn how to deal with any situation. Furthermore, nothing is better to be prepared to face challenges with no fear.

If destiny is in our hands…? I can’t answer that. I just know that life give us some skills to drive it in a greater way after take some advices before - even being patience to wait for the right time arrive.

in destiny's hands

Some predictions have already been determined. Doesn't matter whatever we could do, our designment is already written in the stars, it was previously decided.

So, my destiny is not in my hands(?) - I’ve wondered about that for a long time, everyday - each one in a different way. However, my main doubt is: Should I stay or should I go?

This answer depends exclusively on me? Well, thus, I guess I know… with some kind of planets tips, for sure.

not yet in a fairy tale

It wasn’t my time…

The reality is that: if in one month I didn’t meet no one special, this happened because it was not the right time for that.

Therefore, when ‘it is written’, doesn’t matter where we are. THE ‘prince’ is find you, coming on a white horse.

In my case, for the time being, I’m writing while I'm going for my main dream… (yes, love is a secondary cause in my story!)

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.

coming back

Fallen out of the course, without an exact route to go ahead... 

Sometimes, we will understand the real need to be like that only after has past some time, in its season... in due course. Whether this is good or not, I don't know right now. However, I am conscious of it is really necessary.
   
I am so sorry to had left this my personal project… Despite to had set aside my skill to write and show my point of view about many things that are happening around me for a long period, now is time to restart - again and over! This excites me to go on, hard-set.

For sure: a small step back now leading me to two steps forward later!

God works in mysterious ways

In Portuguese, it is said that He writes correctly on winding lines. It’s true. Probably now, at this exact moment, we are not going to understand why some things are happening in this or that way, but someday (soon) we’ll.

How many times this happened yet? Many - I guess. After some time, the answer comes… and everything start to make sense, forming a big and complex puzzle - piece by piece, until complete our lives.

However, the landscape it will show, you can and should choose by yourself, using your free will while you are constructing it.

nobody said that would be easy

Ok, but I don’t understand why the process is SO difficult... Sometimes, seems that it isn’t up to me my own future. Such is life.

I want only one thing and I wonder if is impossible OR just if it isn’t for me. Maybe now, and this is a "simple" way to notify me. Happens...  or not. I wish so, though. 

If it wont be now, I'll get it after - sooner or later. Everything will come out right in the end. God's will be done. Bless me!

maktub

It’s impressing how things could be predicted. Maybe it could happen slowly… but it will! By the way, ‘patient’ is the main word of my current life.

I can say that I’ve passed just waiting for my future. I’ve been putting things in order to, then, move on.  

Any change, lots of feelings, everything is connected (likewise written on stars!). Nothing is by chance (even the itching that consumes me intensively).

It's almost impossible to avoid my destiny. By the way: where am I going?

Let’s see… (tickets bought, though)

keep loving amy

I swear I would enjoy to go in one of her awaited concerts here in Brazil in the next days (or wherever! - Amy’s presentation is always worthwhile. However, here are some objections:

- I’ve not taken a VIP ticket or invitation;
- R$ 200 is too expensive. For me, in my present financial status, it is more that I can pay for;
- the place chosen by production  (HSBC Arena) is very far from home. It is necessary a transfer service... “Perrengue”(!);
- no one of my closer friends is going to (for me it is essential be in good company in this kind of event…)

Ok, I know that the life’s opportunities are over there and we should not waste it. Nevertheless, I’ll only another time…

Anyway… I’m (still) loving her - junkie or not (I’m not just paying for a risk - thus, I prefer her CDs, high fidelity recordings)!

somewhere

He is over there… walking, in metro, listening music, on the beach, watching concerts, drinking something, attending some course, driving, parking his car, stopped due to the traffic red light, taking for a walk his dog, telling a short story for his child, seating on the park, at club, shopping at the supermarket, choosing a DVD for tonight, cooking, working, studying, reading a book, taking a pícture, painting, riding a bike, learning another idiom; writing a poesy, an essay, a book, a thesis, a letter or lyrics; going to a stadium; playing an instrument, cards, tennis or soccer; surfing, jogging, planting flowers on the garden, travelling, giving a party; dinning, having lunch or a breakfast; supporting his team while is watching its game on television in a pub;  gazing at the sunset or sunrise; diving into the sea, sailing, flying, fishing, trekking, dancing, singing during the shower, connecting, being online, writing my blog, waiting for me… or mounting a horse - after all, what else could princes do?

Is it possible cross me on the street, looking at me (astounded), while I simply don’t see him? I must pay (more) attention... Also taking care with my appearance - even going to the bakery! It happens (of meeting someone special) when we least expect it! - maybe not, but PROBABLY, in these days your look is terrible, seems very tired and (all the worse:) you are dressed badly. [Oh, shit!]

Sinterklass

Oficialmente é hoje, mas comemorarei a Saint Nichola's Eve na noite do dia 24 (no Natal católico) mesmo. Ano que vem, no próximo dia cinco de dezembro, farei melhor, como manda o figurino.

Santo dos marinheiros, comerciantes, crianças e estudantes, é ainda o patrono de Amsterdam, Liverpool e Nova York, entre outras cidades. Deu origem ao famoso Santa Claus (depois associado pela Coca Cola ao Papai Noel), pela distribuição de brinquedos, tradicional ritual nos Países Baixos feito nessa data.

Há pouco tempo, tornei-me devota dele - aqui, chamado de São Nicolau. Não duvido que esteja do meu lado, pois já me provou sua força e bondade de forma surpreendente.

Fico feliz em ser abençoada por sua proteção. Tudo a ver com meu momento. Nada é à toa... A visita à sua igreja não foi mera coincidência. Futuramente, estaremos ainda mais próximos. Amém.

em algum lugar...

Não ele não está TÃO a fim... Não preciso nem ver o filme para saber (se bem que vou! - a fase pede).

Não é o trabalho, a chuva, tampouco o caso mal-resolvido... falta atitude! - quando um homem GOSTA de uma mulher, de verdade, não há NADA que o impeça, não há desculpa (mesmo sendo covardes como são). Vontade é tudo, rege o mundo.

Palavras ao vento... Já aprendi que eles não são o que falam, mas o que fazem. O telefone não toca e alguma tristeza bate, admito; incertezas não tenho mais no entanto. O que sei é que o amor está em mim, e só falta achar o outro, certo, para brilhar. E esse é quem (me) queira.

Eu acredito. Não adianta insistir. Agora, é “esperar” o melhor que está por vir - quando for a hora. E eu quero. O que é meu, está guardado.
