The leaves are back!

Today arriving at the university I realised that the trees are starting to grow back their leaves...

It's so beautiful these new light green leaves, I always enjoy seeing them sprout... The trees are so ugly leafless... :)

Youtube

After I posted this video of the chinese boy in love from Youtube here yesterday, I caught myself thinking of several funny videos I watched in Youtube... Two of them that I always laugh when I see are the ones from a boy and another from a girl after they have been to dentist... Which leads us to the question... What the hell do they put in anesthesia in the US? OMG, this people are completely drugged!!! XD

PS: I'll try to post some videos from youtube I like here from time to time...

Chinese boy in love

Someone showed me this video today... Sooo cute! XD




Which remminded me of this other video:

Prague

Done with my newest puzzle: Prague... It was only 500 pieces :P

Hot and dry

Today at São Paulo:

7h: 16°C / 56% relative humidity

15h: 31°C / 13% relative humidity

It's been hot, eventhough we are still at winter, but the most disturbing is this dryness... It hasn't rained for quite a while, which also prevents the pollution to dissipate... I already have a throat ache that is keeping myself from sleep... How long is it going to stay like this?

Hohenzollern Castle

Yesterday I finished another of my puzzles... This time was the Hohenzollern Castle of 1500 pieces. Well, now I have to choose the next one... Which one should it be?

Achiropita Feast

Since 1926, the Our Lady of Achiropita Feast takes place in Bixiga, the traditional italian quarter of São Paulo. Taking up three streets and presenting 32 tents of typical italian food (pizza, fogazza, pasta, etc.), with decoration and italian music playing in the background, this feast attracts around 250,000 people during the five weekends of its duration.

Yesterday, I went there with a couple of friends from the lab, as we do every year, to pay cheap and eat good food. :) We had a really good time, and enjoyed the food a lot, the only thing is that it is very popular, hence it can get a bit crowded sometimes. And as a popular feast in electoral year, we always meet candidates in the streets... This year was Ronaldo Esper... What a tragedy!! LOL... And he stopped to talk to us... It was all because of Gi that wanted to get a picture with him in the background and Ana that smiled at him when he passed...

In all, it is always very animated, and an interesting event to attend to!! =D Check out the pictures (click on the photos to visit the album in myphotoalbum and see the images bigger and comment the pictures)!

We usually get revolted when we see someone throwing garbage on the streets, don't we? Well, today I witnessed something even worse... As I was on my way to the university I saw this guy walking down the street, he obviously wasn’t just anybody, he was rather well dressed... I hadn't even realized he was eating something until he threw the package, or the paper that was wrapped around what he was eating... directly into a drainage well!! Now come on, the main reason why people shouldn't throw garbage in the streets (besides keeping our streets clean and because it shows a lack of education, hygiene and sense of society) is because when it rains this trash goes together with the water down street gutters and option 1: ends up in our rivers, option 2: clogs the drains! Then why, why on Earth would someone just throw trash inside it? So that it doesn't need to rain for it to get obstructed? To pollute our rivers even more? It is not a god dammed trash can!! ¨&%&#!%@$!

Sorry about the unload, but seriously, I had never seen anything like it... Throwing garbage in the streets is already dumb, but in the drainage well is even dumber!!!

The beginning...

I have always found it interesting the idea of having a blog… But I used to wonder… What the hell am I going to write about? Then came the first idea… I have already lived through so interesting situations and seen so many wonderful things in my travels, not that I have traveled around the world… faaaar from it… But I still have a lot to recommend and stories to tell… Why not then create a blog about travels? Where I could, little by little, tell a bit of these funny events? It is decided then, I will create the “Around the World” blog to share all that.

Then came another idea that kept also bugging me… I have so many public profiles in these so called “social networks” about subjects I really enjoy… Tripadvisor, for my travels, Goodreads for my books, Raptr for my games, last.fm for my music, and of course Twitter, Facebook and an online photoalbum, who doesn’t have one of those? There are other not so relevant profiles, but still they are part of communities I belong and I would like to share them. So, I have all these profiles and nowhere I could connect them all, show that I am not only interested in that particular subject.

Together with this thought came again the blog idea… I don’t love travelling alone, I also love reading, watching good movies and/or TV series, playing games, etc. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a blog that comprises a bit of everything? But… Wouldn’t it get confusing and all the information would get lost? Moreover, I love those cute little thematic blogs *_*

And at last came the final idea… It may not be the best, but in my case it was what left me more at ease: why not build a blog network? One of travels, one of literature, one for music, one for every subject I wish for, with one single “key” blog connecting them all together? Whoever wants to get a panoramic view of all I have/post will visit only this single one. On the other hand, who is looking for only an specific type of blog, or subject would follow just the one they are interested in… Crazy? Yeah… Megalomaniac? Hell, yeah… Will I ever be able to go through with this? No idea… Mainly after taking into account the life of a graduate student (which I would also like to have a blog about)… But then, it is what I decided for… It is what I feel like trying… So… Let’s go!!

PS: Brazilian friends, don’t be mad at me for writing in English, I started it in Portuguese, but then I remembered that everything else I have is in English (my photoalbum, my Twitter, my Facebook… then why not also this one?) Besides, I know most of you can perfectly understand, and it is an incredible practice for me (maybe I should consider making a blog in French? Or one in German? XD)
