amor, naquelas...

Fato: quando a gente está amando (do diabo), a gente some... Então, romance nelas!

Dizem também que o amor atrai... mas, num mês de tantas comemorações a dois, quanto mais distante a uruca, melhor!

Xô, inveja!

Todos felizes assim ♥

greedy eye

I believe that it exists. So, I avoid that and fight off it. With all my forces. Against ill, envy, cynicism and jinx.

What's more, it's worthless try to make up intentions, playing the goody-goody, sweet well-behaved, because I am old hand. I know who I'm dealing with - although relatives don't... while feeling bad energies about.

It wont be necessary any contact (anymore). Distance is going to overrule, more and more. My faith doesn't fail.

For good... Bye. Amen.

happy Chinese new year!

The year of the snake.

So much good luck, professional success and prosperity in love for everybody :)

(I also wish all you guys, who like it, lots of "snakes" during this year!)

However, when it comes a catty and treacherous animal as serpents are, I prefer to be prudent.

___________________________________________________________ 

I sincerely and strongly want that all 'snake-women', the spiteful, jeaulous and envious ones (who try to poison others' happiness, both betraying and cheating), stay away from me, my couple, my house, my family and friends - even if making part of them. Not only by this year, but forever!

 

marplot

Doesn't matter if due jeaulousy or spite... Given the facts, I just strongly believe that some specif people who disturb others happiness (even if virtually) could simply doesn't exist, disappear, stop walking around, move away! Seriously.

Maybe, this is one of my primary wishes for this new year. It wastes... For goodness sake!
 
Playing a silly game of competition (online, inclusive!)... Come on! It's ridiculous. No one is a teenager anymore... Cut that out!

Frankly, each one to his trade! A place for everything and everything in its place. SIMPLE AS THAT!

Semancol feelings...

love means no shame

Well, everybody recognizes that, once in love, we do crazy things. Passion makes us behave as insanes.

Yes, a romance may turn you into silly person, a fool of you! Sometimes, even exposing you to ridicule while declaring yourself flamed.

And you know what? You don't care (actually, maybe, just until this state of euphoria end... blow out. Then, you might repent it. Anyways, you live it intensely, with all your heart and soul.).

Public declarations of love, photos, phone calls, sms and messages... cute gestures, cherished statements.

Towards both of you, but it can contaminate others... everybody! After all, this is delightful, pleasurable, ineffable, gratifying. Not tawdry, indeed.

If the happiness of the others bothers people, probably they are 'un'- or badly loved. Unfortunately, it happens oftentimes! Therefore, I wish them for 2013 to find their other half. Having a hubby is the best medicine in this case. Seriously.

novelty! (like it or not) 

Having said that, I can say I love Montreal, its four well-defined seasons - ergo: snow during the winter (despite that sometimes may be too much).

It's something new for me, and for my friends and family. To all of those to whom it is not understandable, I do not give a shit!

Lots of photos will still be posted (such as on Facebook), liked, and commented as well. Many texts will also be written about that once in a while - whether they mean to or not. 

For some, boring; for others, magic!

ame e dê vexame!   
(in a loud and clear Potuguese)

Luis Fernando Veríssimo said: "...eu desconfio que a única pessoa livre, realmente livre, é a que não tem medo do ridículo". So do I. 

Hence, please, DO NOT feel embarrassed for me. My love and happiness are not worthy of your empathetic embarrassment. I absolutely do not deserve that!

I am, in fact, very well (enough) - with all my utterances and exposure. And you? 

 

discourtesy

act 1

(M) - I should go, girls...
(F) - Why?
(S) - She'll make the dinner.
(M) - Actually, it's my husband's turn tonight. He just called me to know what I want to eat.
(F) - Ah, cute...
(M) - ... but, what's the problem in going home to cook for us?
(S) - Oh, in fact, no one. I just miss these 'couple's things'... Sorry.

___________________________________________________________

act 2

(M) - If you want to pay less, I know where the prices are lower.
(S) - Great! Thanks for helping.
(F) - God, you really seems be a housewife with all these tips of specials!
(M) - But, actually, I AM! I've been being for years - even while single, or when I was working... I always buy according weekly flyers. Though, now, the difference is that I try to optimize my husband's money.

___________________________________________________________

an actual fairytale

I'm sure that, when with someone, in a real relationship, forming their own family, the ironic and coarse speech of little girls like these will be not the same. They'll not complain about cook, or even take care of their family finances. Everything will be done with love, gladly.

Being a housewife is neither my dream of life nor is a life model for me (not at all!). However, I prefer to be a happy one than a jealous or unloved woman.

I sincerely don't think I should (nor do I deserve) to ride defensively because of that...

la diplomatie

Inspirée pour qui ma aidé dans le passé, j'ai decidé de le faire aussi.

J'éspere pouvoir également appuyer quelquun, lui donner une direction, si le cas échoit.

C'est le minimum, car est juste à ma portée...

'Gentileza gera gentileza', comme disait déjà le prophète.

___________________________________________________________ 

lourde envie

Je n'aime pas avoir besoin de raconter mon histoire pour faire quelqu'un y croire.

En effet, ce moment maintenant est là, pour tout le monde en profiter.

L'amour est léger. Faque je me sans comme ça aussi...(même si) attachée à ma vie ballon. Je laisse faire...

Pauvres de ceux qui n'y le croient pas.
 

someone's green

Surreal! It seems we still are children or teens... but, come on: we matured! (besides things have changed too)

At the same time, I'm "a little" proud that our relation is able to make others eat their heart out! (even if we DO NOT want it, or DID NOT instigate it!)

However, the limit is when jealousy becomes disrespect. Low blow... unacceptable at this point, in this way, between us. 

I swear I never thought I'd be in this embarassing situation... How deal with people who have bad intentions while we wish just love and peace? 

We really don't want any tiff. For the good of everybody, we'll work out a solution as adults we are. We think it will be enough...

Oh, I hope with all my heart the problem is ONLY this, not anything else!

take care!

Hell has no fury like a woman scorned...

a place for everything and everything in its place

It's no use: other's mother IS NOT ours.

Lucky me to have mine, even far!

Going out of her way, truly pulling the universe out of her soul to help me and make me happy, this is priceless.

everything has it's price!

Lately, Queen Elizabeth II revised the Royal Household Order of Precedence. Little changes involved only Kate Middleton, though, in order to remind her about her commoner roots.

At this newest protocol, the Duchess of Cambridge must curtsy to your husband's relatives unless she is with him. Probably the worst part will be do it, whether in private or in public, to Eugenie and Beatrice, two blood princesses, cousins of Prince William, when she meets them alone.

Well, if it is humiliation caused by Queen's jealousy of her popularity (as magazines have speculated by now) or if it is just respect for their old royal tradition, I really don't mind...(!) In my opinion, all monarchy stuff is completely old-fashioned and out of place nowadays.

After all, who pay for it? By the way, I sincerely don't understand how a country as Canada, for example, still maintains its political system tied with the British Royal Family, supporting them and their caprices (Kate's expensive new dresses, included!).

Tant pis au Québéc! (yes, unfortunately we are also paying for that...)

in the bargain, I feel very blessed not to having a mother-in-law like princess Diana had.

Fortunately, I love mine! ♥

surprises for good

After to be struck for someone who I thought could be my (new) friend, but won't - definitely... I'm positively surprise with other people's attention and affection with me. Ultimately, help comes from who we least expect it...

Even far from my close friends, I had acquired my new ones. True ones.

Life it's not a bed of roses, but there is always a person even better and more important than others who simply don't care of us. Though luck! Now I now who can I rely on... This is more important than everything else.

___________________________________________________________

This episode made me remember Julia Roberts in 'My Best Friend's Wedding', the movie... I never thought one day i'll think of me playing the Cameron Dias role, but that is it!

Good surprises at the end.

killing (my) joy

Even without any intention, sometimes friends can disturb us. For instance, if you are flirting, trying got to know somebody, while a friend (who has your same gender - or not, depending of your sexual orientation) is around you… Of course he is persona non grata there, while pooping your party.

Ok, a marplot friend could be such a non sense, but sometimes a little careful is necessary to help the other one to find a love. I believe the worse thing is how to say him that (without hurt anyone). However, as I could not avoid my instincts, the best choice is always the truth, not to repeat the same situation again.

A real friend is going to understand your reasons, without any jealousy or envy. I hope so...

my best friend's wedding

He would give me on my 30th year birthday a wedding ring, he would be my best partner for every event I could go, he would plan our abroad vacation travel with our children for the end of the year… he could be everything ‘best’ in the world… however, he is not my husband because I simply don’t love him (not as "MY" man). We can’t ordering our feelings to choose somebody to like him. It happens independently of our will.

Randiness is something we don’t control. It is impossible to ask ourselves “please, want him (or her)!” - further: right now! It doesn’t work like that… It simply “plim” - as I’m used to say… Moreover, this ‘prince’ guy, who I’m going to want with me will appear complete for me soon, without “nevertheless(es)” - in the same way he’ll be more than my best friend… as he is for his wife - the fortunate woman that chose him (or he chose her… whatever! They are perfect for each other).

I’m full of satisfaction with myself since I’m not jealous, or have no envy about her. I’m not this kind of possessive friend that doesn’t want his happiness, as a result of my negative decision to became involved. On the contrary, I’ve supported his new relationships, his affairs and now, his marriage. I want all the best for them. After all, I like her too. I was there when he met her and I hoped further for them…

It is something I’m awaiting that he (and also she) wish for me as well… knowing someone special to pass the rest of our lives, constitute a family, live a beautiful love long-lasting story, besides keep them company at meetings, travels... any kind of couple's programming.

the movie

While I was putting the title of this post, I remembered the movie of the same name… Julia Roberts, a successful almost 30-years journalist, was invited for this 3-days happening wedding, occasion when her best friend is going to become a married man. At this moment she realized she loves him, only owing to the sensation of loss. Human being is a [fuc*!] selfish animal.

At the end, even with all tries, he decided for Cameron Diaz (NOT BAD…) and they lived happily ever after.

pretty beach, but low profile

(in reason of nobody knows who she truthfully was - not even her real name!)

In fact, she used to be high profile (because has been famous). However, her face can’t be seen on TV anymore… If she is still on men’s mind, I think so! - after all, television is a (false and faked) fantasy that doesn’t show the dark side of reality - her nonsense and slovenliness.

After a painful surprise against me, I'm sure she is bearing the chances of her (ill) fortune - now, taking care of people's head (in the exact meaning of the expression). So, limited like that, she doesn't convince altogether as before(!).

*I don’t know (more) nor do I care…

da onça

(actually, they are birds of a feather!)

How much evil could affect somebody? Envy is, without doubt, one of the worst feelings that someone can experience - mainly when is from someone who SHOULD wish our happiness, and doesn't take us as an "adversary".

Unfortunate is who tastes its own medicine. Selfish, remaines grieved - and, as a result, stays (always) behind, worried about others’ happiness (or trying to hamper it).

 

With me, in vain… In fact, this act just strengthen me!

An indubitable reminder: the evil that men do lives after them.

wearing of the green

(the hope color)

Lá Fhéile Pádraig - finally a good news (and energy!) against the "descarrego" session above...

Today is Saint Patrick’s Day, an important holiday mainly in Ireland. So, I’m going to drink some beer to celebrate!

My faith is more powerful than all these stumbling blocks. I’m not going to became worn away, just go ahead and leave all these ill things behind (me).

What will be will be! - with or without backing.

o melhor trabalho do mundo

Com certeza é aquele que se gosta de fazer. De alguma forma, tem que orgulhar, compensar, satisfazer, dar prazer.

Num bate-papo informal com um rapaz que trabalha num coffee shop in Amsterdam, ele me disse que é bastante invejado por sua labuta diária. Pensando cá com meus botões, lembrei já ter ouvido isso sobre meu ofício e tenho certeza que é páreo duro nesse ranking também. 

Nós trabalhamos com o lazer alheio. Para nós, sexo e drogas é algo sério. O resto sim,  é diversão. Tudo é uma questão de vivência.

tem pra todo mundo

Conhecem a máxima: “Pode encher a sua piscina, mas não esvazia a minha bacia”? Pois é justamente assim que as pessoas DEVERIAM fazer, agir e ser – porque se trata de um posicionamento moral, inclusive.

Inveja e má fé é péssimo. Buscar a sua felicidade sem ficar urubuzando a vida alheia é o caminho do bem. Quem muito se preocupa com o outro, administra mal seus negócios. Então, que tal focar em seu próprio umbigo (ou rabo)? – é melhor para todo mundo.

O futuro está aí com suas oportunidades. Cada um tem e terá o que merece. É só fazer por onde, conduzir com sabedoria o barco da vida. Uns rebolam, alguns rezam, outros remam. Essa última é a minha filosofia. E a frase acima é de comunidade. Salve Gabriel Moura, Jovi Joviniano e Aranha, pela voz de Seu Jorge!

mulher carente procura

O que faz de uma pessoa carente? A baixa autoestima, a ausência de amigos, a inveja da felicidade alheia, um sentimento de inferioridade? Não sei, mas não gosto nem um pouco desse comportamento de algumas mulheres, para ser mais específica.

Acho perigoso, na verdade. Algumas atitudes assim me fazem lembrar de Hedra Carlson, personagem de Jennifer Jason Leigh no filme Mulher Solteira Procura (Single White Female), que desiquilibradamente queria ser Allison Jones, interpretada pela bela Bridget Fonda. Psycho total. Pânico!

Pareço radical? Não é à toa. Tá cheio de gente assim por aí, acreditem. Já me vi em algumas situações que em muito se assemelham a essa obsessão em ter o que não lhe pertence, em querer levar a vida de outra pessoa, ou mais comum ainda: os homens. Bom, esse realmente é um problema corriqueiro. MUITO.

Dá muito pano pra manga essa história de disputa amorosa(?), de relacionamentos. Tem casos que não se pode nem comentar certa empatia por alguém que a ‘amiga’ já se adianta, vai lá é créu. Ou então, diz que está fazendo com “cordialidade” uma aproximação do casal. Me poupe, beirando os 30 NINGUÉM mais precisa de vela (e muito menos de um encosto desses).

Depois de anos de praia, posso dizer que felizmente estou super ligada em quem está na volta e tem esse perfil desagradável. Não por homem nenhum, mas pela tranqüilidade de se poder viver sem ter um exu por perto querendo urubuzar a carniça alheia, assumo uma postura contra esse tipo de mulher-problema.

Xô, perereca!

meias frações

Nada como uma meia-calça para enlouquecer os homens!

Descobri isso cedo. Desde os quinze anos uso e acho super feminino, elegante, sensual. Antes eu era menina, claro, deixava outra impressão quando vestia, mais de ninfetinha, colegial... Hoje a peça ainda causa frisson e mostra todas as minhas boas (ou más) intenções de mulher.

Prefiro, para alegria de quem me vê passando, as meias sete oitavos. São aquelas que podemos usar com cinta-liga, para não ficar descendo em direção ao joelho. Se colocadas com um vestido, podem aparecer sutilmente, deixando à mostra parte da coxa. Arrancam suspiros.

Podem ser três quartos, cinco oitavos, de renda, arastão, coloridas, lisas ou estampadas... Meias são um fetiche masculino. Excitam, provocam. Mexem com o imaginário do ‘homaril’ e causam inveja nas outras mulheres. É normal receber olhares femininos de reprovação. Sabe-se que, no fundo (bem lá no fundo), elas que gostariam de estar assim, chamando a atenção.

Uma mulher semi-nua de meia-calça e salto-alto - combinação perfeita. Já deve ter acontecido, mas agora não me lembro de algum homem ter desenrolado uma meia minha até tira-la por completo da pontinha do pé. Acho essa cena muito sexy. Tem que ser devagarzinho e pode ser com a boca também. É um convite ao prazer.

Inverno agora - melhor momento para se usar e abusar das meias, em frações ou não. Mulheres, ponham as suas para circular! Muita gente vai querer tira-las COM CERTEZA. E homens, presenteiem suas damas com as que mais gostam e depois se deliciem à vontade. Nesse jogo da sedução, todo mundo sai ganhando.
