optare

If it means 'to hope' (in latin), I just CAN NOT 'desperare'!

My right motto is 'sperare' then.

After all, this was our choice...

decisive moment

By now, at the limbo part, 

between the worst which already passed and the best that will still come, 

I just keep going on.

Surmounting, step by step, arriving where I want.

good luck

Do you believe in that story of finding a suitcase full of money (on the street, for example)? 

Well, I DO! I believe I found one.

However, when it seemed happen, I avow I doubted. I always think that this kind of thing is a TV prank, or a kids trick. After all, I didn't looked for that.. not even played the lottery or went until the end of the rainbow to find a pot of gold... It came so gratuitous... Finally, I didn't take it.
 
In Brazil we often say that "quando a esmola é demais, o santo desconfia" (translating... when it's a great alm, the saint suspects), in the same meaning of the proverb: It's too good to be true. Because, truly: IT IS!

It would be perfect: just on my birthday. What a gift! What a blessing! A boon in life. Probably, it will give us the opportunity of a (nice) honey moon, that we haven't had yet.

Anyway, there's something else for me to be defensive about that...while living abroad, I simply fear the fact of taking (someone else's) dollars, which DO NOT belong to me, could harm me. Seriously!

It was not dullness, but caution. Prudence. Unfortunately, it wasn't THE time. Not mine. 

(Althoug it's said that a lightning never strikes twice in the same place...) I beg: Please, good lucky, don't give up on me! Try it again, later. Maybe something I'm aware I deserve it.

the year!

Mine.

There are some crucial years in our lives... Well, 2013 is going to be one of them!

13, or the contrary... it looks promising anyways. At least for me.

experience

Bizarre.

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...

good sportsmanship

For who learned how to play cards before writing, amuse myself by games it's not a novelty.

Nevertheless, it's ALWAYS a good experience! - between friends, couples, in family, with own children, or other kids.

I like competition, use track logically, improve performances, share knowledge, help people in order to enjoy the moment together.

The die is cast... Good luck!

sacrement!

tight

Take my hand and I will follow you, wherever! Forever.

Sometimes, we just need this: being together. Closer.

Other, only a tender look can prove that by itself... Little acts of kindness. 

Everyone has his own way to demonstrate affection, which varies across different cultures. It's solely important that love doesn't ever be put aside, let behind. Never.

Not alone: the best one in the world.

Just wanting love and peace.

The ideal.

des citrouilles

Partout:

ma vie en rose

I'm sure we can chose the color of our lives - both the saddest and the most happy one. It s up to us!

So, after special changes, for instance, I decided not to have my kitchen utensils orange anymore. By the way, nothing against Holland… on the contrary! However, I have already come a long way.

From now, I'll take it easy and restart seeing this (current) world through (my) child's eyes. Thus, for me everything is all right again - even if it said it is not all a bed of roses.

Actually, living in (a) Rosemont (réal), finally I guess it may be - at least for my new stuff, besides the romantic language I've learned and the opportunity to be happy.

Here, I definitively feel satisfied.

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 honey moon period

My current moment is quite atypical!

I’ve never thought I will be able someday to eat things with mustard and enjoy their taste. I really don’t know what is happening with me… However, it’s a good moment of changes. And I like novelty, the unexpected.

I didn't found the three new Ruffle’s flavours in Rio so I tasted it in Porto Alegre and I’m “simply” amazed, specially with the Eduardo's invention: the honey + mustard one! - Exotic, it’s even better than both Strogonoff(les) and Yakisoba(aaaa), the others. It’s delicious, such as those special periods you pass along who you are in love with.

I vote for him! Oops… for that: honey moon… stard! Do him a favor too voting here.

By the way, I’m involved with mustard now, as never before. A sweet moment for me…

in the endgame

At tension days, US are not permitting themselves the luxury of keeping at full pelt, a sort of technosphere which they have been maintaining since the beginning of the Space Age in the 60’s.

Actually, I believe it is more a matter of ‘at any price’ than anything else. Once they are passing through a troubled economic period, they are not able anymore to continue the old dream of total domination.

Being abroad, fluctuating through the vacuum (with high tech stuff, of course) means being powerful - politically, socially, economically… no matter where. However, nowadays, it is not the North-American reality indeed.

Lately, they have had in much more to invest here, in Earth. It's another moment! So, extraterrestrial beings from Mars or any other planets must wait - maybe for a agreement between US and Russia, or even China. Why not? While out of Cold War, everything is possible...

Ok, by the last 40 years, who could believe that one day it would be possible… Well, the old vain and puffed up lion became a little kit which walks by smaller steps… not as the leaps from the past. After all, the patterns and needs of mankind have changed a lot. Or rather, their priorities!

More info? Read the article “The end of the Space Age” published by The Economist.

independent means

In fact, I’d rather refer myself with it than using the word ‘possessions’ for what I‘m writing about... I’ve already written something similar before, at a resembling period of my life. However, now it is for real.

Or the first time, I’m finally inclined to set me free easily of many things which have left me connected to this place. Thus, more than be strongly attached to things which I have acquired during these last years, I’m now ready to move on, without anything that haven’t allowed  me to do that before…

As far as I’m concerned, everything I have don’t represent exactly who I am, but who I was when I bought that. My life have changed. Although I still like my furniture and all my stuff, I can't keep it with me. Now, I feel myself wanting things which are uncertain, while gives me some hope of future opportunities.

Finally I believe I’m becoming prepared! Bye, I’m selecting what is really useful to belong me, and what is worth to be sold or left behind. Overall, I’m sure it is the best way to reach what I want, to go softer for my dreams.

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.

a fancy funny enterprising

I’m honestly as impressed as satisfied with my new capacity to play as a child. Wearing costumes, or playing some ludic roles haven’t been my main well-known skills until now.

As a Capricorn girl, I've maintained myself refrained once I'm shy. However, after this night, no one will doubt that I’m a creative person.

I've just started a new period in my life - in which I can be who I really want at the moment. Equally, I intend to leave free my children to embody their own carachters, besides support them to fantasize.

Special moments allow us to do what has been unthought... All in all, I'm the Queen of Hearts (today).

tiresome

One is an unfortune, two is a mistake, three times is enough!

I’ve wondered myself about the relation between what is worth and things I’ve been doing without any advantage for me. Ok, I reckon that always is possible to gain some of any circumstances. However, I’m not interested in waste my time with what is not going to give me results in a short term.

I’m as impatient as unsatisfied - it is not necessary lie about that. At the same time I’ve been going the extra mile without a pleasant reward, others are earning what I’m not. 

I can't satnd injustice anymore. So, I'm regretted (besides avoiding) this situation.
