Beautiful animation video

Today a friend posted this video on Facebook, OMG, it's SO beautiful!!! I loved it and had to share it with you!!!



That reminded me of two other animation videos I watched that I really liked, the first one is really funny, the other is a game-retro clip really well done, both are amazing!

Outback

Me and a couple of friends are TAing Molecular Biology to an undergraduate class... To celebrate that classes are almost over (they finished all pratical lessons, now they only need to hand in the final project and do the final exam) we went out to drink at Outback! LOL
It was really fun 'cause several other friends joined in the celebration, it was good to laugh!

Ana Lucia's Birthday & Brahma Bar

Yesterday we went to this bar that Ana Lucia kept saying she wanted to go and we never did... Well, now it was her birthday so what could we do? XD
The "Bar Brahma" is a tradicional bar located in the historic center of Sao Paulo, preciselly in the corner of Sao Joao Avenue and Ipiranga Avenue, a very poetic place as it was already sang by Caetano Veloso, a well-known singer from the northeast of Brazil, upon his arrival in Sao Paulo in a song dedicated to the city: "Alguma coisa acontece no meu coração, que só quando cruza a Ipiranga e a avenida São João" ("Something happens inside my heart when I cross Ipiranda and Sao Joao avenue" - lousy unrhymed free translation).
Inside the bar there is always people playing samba and there are presentations at night, it can be music or stand-up comedy. The food is rich, we ate something that might resemble as jerkies and manioc... So good! It is always good to know about different interesting places to go! We had a really good time!

And of course, Caetano Veloso's "Sampa" (tender nickname of Sao Paulo):

Halloween

The only reason I didn't make this post sooner is that I was recruting all photos before I put this up...

We here in Brazil don't have the habit of celebrating Halloween, or as we here call it "Witches' Day", but this year we've tried something different...
Since last year's halloween we've been trying to throw a costume party, but we haven't been able to. This year it was finally possible! We managed to gather people who got excited with the idea and we did it! Actually Tati this year decided she was gonna organize it, and being the perfect host that she is, she made it flawlessly!

Me and a friend decided to go as Zombies, I think we were the only girls that weren't dressed in "cute" clothes... But it was funny, we made flesh wounds using latex and when we were going to the party some people were staring... LOL
