Well, over here people consider that the year only begins AFTER Carnival. It’s a Tradition. The whole country, after 1^st of January, lives in a lazy mode, like they are saving their whole energy to spend in 4 days of pure non stop carnival parties. Lots of tourists come over to see one of the most famous things about Brazil and they absolutely love it. Of course, if you come from a cold country of North Hemisphere you obviously going to enjoy the warmth, the burning sun and party environment that involves Carnival. Its pure fun for them and I understand that. But, for me, it doesn’t work anymore. I used to like Carnival, but nowadays I just don’t have patience to crowded places and the hot, sweat people over me anymore. I like the music and stuff, but I don’t like being squashed like sardines in a tin. No, not for me, thanks. Also, Carnival is more like a single person kind of party: you can kiss whoever you want, how many people you want, wherever you want and everything is allowed in that period: sex, fun, kisses. And Fidelity definitely is not a word that belongs to the Carnival Vocabulary.  And as you all know, I’m married =PPP

I love my husband, despite he bugs me to death, but I think that’s the fun of our relationship: he picks on me all the time, for everything, a natural moaner that the most pleasure moments of his days are when he’s got something to call out my attention. But believe me, folks, he wouldn’t be able to live without me anymore, that you can count on =PPP

I have been with him to Carnival parties, he knows everything over here, I introduced him into that world, and he enjoyed, but, like me, we prefer the silence and quiet days that Carnival period give to us, no crowded streets, supermarkets, cinema, etc. Also, the fact that he is a workaholic helps very much =PPP

What am I doing now? As I told you before, I’m getting entertained by Big Brother Brasil show. Some people hate it, but its fun you watch them, its like rats in a laboratory cage where we can watch their behaviors in extreme situations. I like to observe human behaviors, change of personality, mind games, twist evil plans to put down your opponent, anything for one purpose: money. And that just show us where the human being can reach to get what they desire: money, fame and power. Of course there are people that don’t get corrupted by material things and get on the game just playing as themselves and firming their convictions and personality that they got over their life time. Other just over cross any limits to get what they want no matter what shows ahead of them: if it’s another human being or a bag of potatoes, for this person both things means the same.

Who said that reality shows doesn’t show us what human beings are in their essence, after all?

 From January to mid March, every year, we have Big Brother. Everytime I say to myself that I’m not going to get involved to the program, that I’m not going to watch, that I’m not going to loose my time, etc. But I contradict myself again and again =PPP Lately is what I’m doing the most in front of the PC: watch Big Brother Brasil, on its 8^th edition… Each year I think is getting more boring, but even thinking that I cant stop watch =PPP Specially because on TV we don’t have any new series or new seasons to watch, they repeat the previous ones, so even worse.

But you must think what a crazy person would do, loosing their time watching any program when you are in the middle of Summer and the sun out there is an invitation for you to go out, go to the beach, swimming pool, get tanned… I tell you: I cant get tanned at all! Last year I started a face treatment that didn’t get right, so now, to get my face back, atleast OK to go out without being embarrassed, I cant get any sun on it. Even in the shadow, if I step out of the house, I have to use sunscreen SPF 60! I know that’s important nowadays use sunscreen, to the sake of your future, but even though I cant use less than 60. So I’m avoiding the sun, full stop.

So, this Summer, at home, watching Big Brother Brasil and laughing with some stupid people that’s got in that program =PPPP

 Sorry, folks, I have disappeared but its because I’ve been a bit down these days. On 18^th was 5 months that my father passed away and its painful. Life goes on, I know, but it just hurts so much… Anyway, as I don’t want to cry on the keyboard again, lets change subject.

Lately I have been browsing a lot of jewellery websites. I confess I love branded stuff, just a shame I’m not rich enough to buy everything I want =PPP

I love CK jewellery. Last time I went to UK I bought 4 rings, and I just didn’t buy more stuff because I ran out of money =PPP Just after xmas, on a sale, I purchased 2 more for less than half price and yesterday on ebay I won a bit of another ring. I also love their necklaces, bracelets, earrings, but my favourite is buying rings. I like the clean style of CK jewellery, you can go anywhere and you never get wrong. I also like pieces made of stainless steel, I think it’s modern and a good option when you cant buy gold jewellery ( I prefer white gold).

I also like Swatch jewellery because of its funny part. Not all of them catch my eyes, because some of their jewellery is too childish. But I loved a colorful effect crystal cluster kind of ring that I even put its image as my wallpaper =PPP

Certainly, a glamorous choice is Swarovski range of jewellery. I saw on their website about 4 rings that I fell in love with. All of them expensive, but breath taking. I still going to get my husband to give atleast 2 of them until the end of this year =))) =PPPP

But nothing takes away the diamond’s place. They are the girls best friend!!!! I have some pieces on sight over here but I’m still crossing fingers to get a good job (or my husband gets a great job too) so I can afford them. But as I’m building up my confidence in thinking positively by reading the book The Secret: I think, I feel, I believe and I get it =))))

And at the moment I’m entertaining myself watching Big Brother, we are on our 8^th edition… we have had better ones, but its always funny you spy once in a while. Its still in the beginning, only one is out already and the second one will be leaving tomorrow.
