Recently I've realized how most stepfathers seem to be liked by the children of the woman they decide to get married with, while stepmothers seem to be hated by them. Of course this is not a rule, but from what I got, it's the majority.
I don't get what's the difference between them.
( Stepmothers => ENGLISH )
**Português**
Recentemente eu reparei o quanto os padrastos parecem ser adorados pelos filhos das mulheres com quem decidiram se casar, enquanto as madrastas são odiadas por eles. Claro que isso não é regra, mas pelo que tenho percebido, é a grande maioria.
Eu não entendo a diferença entre eles. ( Madrastas => Português )

Does anyone else get freaked out by looking at the past year and realizing how much has changed on such short time? Or is it just me?
I've been through so many different emotions since the last times I was here.
That could also be my bipolar mood anyway, but I laughed out loud and then suddenly felt the urge to cry until I could not even open my eyes anymore, and suddenly a stupid smile lights up my face from my bizarre thoughts.
10000 emotions in 1, that can be odd and exciting at the same time.
Well, it´s like a famous brazilian´s song´s quote says:
"Se chorei ou se sorri, o importante é que emoções eu vivi" (whether I was laughing, whether crying, the one thing that matters is that emotions I have lived)

I'm thinking about getting this back.
Just not sure whether to post in English, like I used to do, or starting a whole different journal in portuguese for my friends in Brazil.
Still, yes, I´m back! And happier than I could ever be! Guess who's the new bride to be? Yup, yup, "c'est moi, mon cher"! Carlos proposed on my birthday (and most of you guys thought this wouldn't last, huh). There's still over a year to go (we´ll only get married on August of 2009, but that won't keep me from being excited. Actually, I'm starting to feel crazy for being so anxious about it, I have almost everything set already and look how long I still have to go. Good thing is, with ALL this planning, it can't go wrong (shhhh, I knwo it can, but let me think positive here, ok?!)

| Dangerous Prank Calls! |
[05 Feb 2007|06:23pm] |
I don´t know if this is happening in the US too, but here in Brazil it´s happening quite often. People were always mentioning it, but since it had never happened to us I just thought it was one of those "urban legends".
But recently it´s happened to my boyfriend´s cousin and to me!
They were different situations, but both involved the same issue:
Someone saying we had a member of our family kidnaped, and requesting for money to let them go! Since the city where I live is quite dangerous (not as much as Rio, but still dangerous) everyone gets scared, for it could happen, and they alays get the money. They have all the information they need to convince you, so it´s quite hard telling when they´re for real or not. And they make you believe you can´t hang up or they´re killing them.
I was getting ready to go out when our maid came running to my room telling me my grandma was in shock in the kitchen because my uncle had been kidnapped and the guy was telling my grandma he´d kill him in case the money wasn´t available in 2 days (poor granny, she´s 80 years old, she´ll believe anything you tell her!). When I got in the kitchen she was already negotiating with them, saying she didn´t have $20.000 but had $10.000 saved (that´s all the money she´s got!!!). I took the phone from her and she started crying asking me to do something cause her son would be killed. After a long conversation I told the guy to put up my uncle on the phone and prove he had him, otherwise I would not pay anything...so he put a stranger screaming in the back, telling us to help him and do whatever they asked, so I asked for his sister´s name (my mother) and of course they took my "so called uncle" away.
Thing is, I only did that cause my bf´s cousin did give money to people who did that, and I´ve read about it everywhere, otherwise, I´d probably be one of those desperate ppl too.

Which are you?
made by Jen
That made me hungry. I don´t know how I got addicted to japanese since I used to hate it, but now I just can´t get enough.
I know, i´ve been gone for quite a long time and most of you have probably deleted me from your friends lists. SHAME ON YOU, PEOPLE!!!
Time for the updates:
*I´m still happily in love with Carlos, his kid is 1 year and a half now and he´s adorable, good thing: Im FINALLY starting to get along with his family but Im still in the process of getting them to like me, since sometimes it seems like Im the enemy whos stolen him from their beloved "carlos´ex gf" who should be the one visiting them instead of me, also the one who made carlos apart from his kid. Oh well,I´m getting there, they shouldn´t be able to resist my charm!! lmao
* I don´t know how many of you actually knew my stepfather had lungs cancer (i´ve written about it in the past). So, he died last december, it was such a sad death and from now on Im one of those annoying chicks who will complain if you´re smoking and the smoke gets in my way!
*Still God is so amazing that he arranged to bring another life to this place since one had been taken away, and my sister is pregnant again, this time it´s a girl, I´m so excited, being an aunt rocks. I get to play with those lovely kids and not needing to educate them! This is the good thing about being a stepmom too!
Those are the major news, the rest is pretty much the same here.
Let´s see who still remembers me=P

We all bleed red...
By Anthony Kisley
Maybe I can’t write a sentence or one word at all,
But does that mean you can push me against the wall?
Maybe I can’t read as good as the rest of the class,
But does that mean you have to trip me as I walk past?
Maybe I can’t kick a ball as far as the best,
But does that mean I stand out from the rest?
Maybe I can’t shout as loud as you can,
But does that really make me any less of a man?
Maybe I’m a different colour, a different race,
But does that give you the right to hit my face?
Maybe my glasses make my face look round,
But does that mean you have to throw them to the ground?
Maybe I’m poor, and have no money,
But does that mean you can mock me so your friends think you’re funny?
Maybe I wear clothes by Adidas or Nike,
But does that give you the right to steal things I like?
Maybe I’ll never win, and I’ll always lose,
But could you leave me alone? Do I get to choose?
Maybe you don’t care if I’m alive or dead,
But you won’t be the one visiting a hospital bed.
If there was only one thing that I wish would sink into your head,
“We are all the same. We all bleed red…”

"Todos sangramos vermelho"
Talvez eu não seja capaz de escrever uma palavra ou dissertar,
Mas isso significa que você possa me pressionar?
Talvez eu não consiga ler tão bem quanto à sala inteira,
Mas isso significa que você possa me passar uma rasteira?
Talvez eu não consiga chutar a bola tão longe quanto os melhores,
MAs isso faz de mim um dos piores?
Talvez sua voz seja mais grossa que a minha,
mas isso faz de mim uma menininha?
Talvez sejamos diferentes na raça e na cor,
Mas isso lhe dá o direito de me causar dor?
Talvez meus óculos me façam parecer um bobão,
Mas isso significa que você possa atirá-los ao chão?
Talvez eu seja pobre,esteja sempre sem dinheiro,
Mas isso significa que vOcê tenha me esnobar o tempo inteiro?
Talvez eu só vista Nike e Adidas,
Mas isso lhe dá o direito de roubar minhas coisas preferidas?
Talvez eu nunca vença,e seja,para você, um perdedor,
Mas será que você poderia me deixar em paz? Por favor?
Talvez com a minha existência você não se importe,
Mas você não será aquele que terá de lidar com a morte.
Gostaria que vc entendesse uma coisa mais:
"Todos sangramos vermelho.Somos todos iguais."
This is what I´ll have to bring to my translating class tomorrow.I´m enjoying this so far.We´re learning how to translate poems (all the rhyming,perfect rhymes,poor rhymes and there you got). I have to fix this one yet though. The rhymes are perfect but they should also be rich rhymes (most of them should,not everything though).

| Finally an update...with pictures! |
[12 Feb 2005|01:12pm] |
And now the decent update.
Love life:: *sighs* It was a complete MESS,that´s what it was. I don´t think I can count how many times Carlos and I argued this past year.We broke up at least 3 times,and one of those times got really ugly.
This is what´s happened in one of them...
Nope,the baby isn´t mine,this is Gustavo, Carlos´son (remember the ex,Vanessa? Yeah,my life was pretty haunted this past year).
This happened around May,I was really depressed. Even when things seemed to be alright,it just didn´t seem that way to ME. The baby was born in October.His family still won´t accept the fact that he´s not with her,that he came back to me instead.It´s hard,but at least things are all rainbows and butterflies now. Gustavo is adorable,he looks exactly like Carlos (which is a good thing,he got the looks from the good side of the family,lucky kid).
Family: My stepfather is still sick,lungs cancer,you can´t get rid of that.Still...he´s living his life as if nothing was happening to him (and we´re doing the same). My mother is no longer as depressive as before( thank God).We´re moving to another apartment(a better one) within 2 or 3 months.
Job and College:I´m scared I might be fired pretty soon.I became a collector(internacional collector),thought that´d be easy,but I really wasn´t born for that.Debtors are really rude.And also,sometimes I have to be mean to old ppl,and DAMN,I Can´t do that,so I always end up getting no money cause once they say they have nothing,I might even get my money and give it to them!!! So,I don´t know how long I have left there. And college,same old. Nothing new,I was on my summer holidays,but I´m going back on monday.
Last weekend was the famous Carnival,do you think I partied much??? If your answer was YES then you are sooo wrong. I don´t like carnival that much,so I took the chance to travel with Carlos.We went camping on this really deserted beach,it was great.
the weather SUCKED this day,but it was pretty sunny the other ones)
My tent! ISn´t it cuuuuuuuuuuute?Oh,oh,check out the mud on the pants! Hahahahha nice Drop,Carlos!
See,it WAS sunny!
Carlos a little bit before rolling down on the mud!LMAO!
Cuddling inside the tent.
I loved my carnival,was way better than all the mess that it usually is.
I also have some pictures from my NEW YEAR
I went camping (another beach though,a little less deserted,but still hidden from the crowd).I´m getting addicted to that.
Our house...
...our swimming pool...
Our kitchen! lol
Things are starting to be the way they should...or so it seems.I´m happy now.

Just felt like letting you all know that...
I'm alive!!!
It's been quite some time since I've last written anything here,I just don't have as much patience for the internet as I used to. It's actually weird,I'd usually be all excited once I'd sit on the computer to chat with my friends,but now I usually ignore most of the "hellos" I get(sorry I was a bitch! You know I love you all),check my email and turn the comp off.
What's new with me...I'm back into college (not sure if I've mentioned this already or not),hopefully,soon I will becoming a translator. And you'll all hire me! huh?huh?
Actually...there's a favor I'd like to ask...whenever you guys notice any mistakes on here,pleeeease correct me.I mean it. I DO MEAN IT
Do any of you guys have ORKUT?Am I the only one who gets amazed by how we meet ppl we haven't heard from since...FOREVER?? Gosh,I've met ppl who used to go to school with me when I was 7 years old! I love that!!! It does get annoying sometimes though. (Just like most things in life)

[18 Jul 2004|07:52pm] |
You guys know how addicted to Light Coke I am...right?
So...today I had my first Light Coke SHOWER!!! How awesome is that??? </sarcasm>
I just made a mess in the kitchen,and I had just cleaned the place (I was bored to hell so I was cleaning the apartment), everything was so nice and clean,then I was getting some coke out of the fridge (it was way too hot,I wanted it coooold),it was frozen...and just when i opened it...IT EXPLODED!!! I was pretty mad at first,being all covered with coke, but then I tried picturing it was someone else who had been there and seen the scene...and cracked up. Now Im back to being mad again cause there goes my cleaning!!! There's coke on the ceiling!!! *sighs*
( My soooo clean kitchen )

To the ones who have been reading my journal for quite some time now, does anyone remember this post I've made...??
The post
It's funny how time goes by so fast, and a looooot has happened since that, but I didn't realize it had been one year untill yesterday. I'm really glad some things have changed, and I can say I am really really really happy with the changes.
I wasn't lying there as you can see truth is,I love Carlos,and this wont ever change.I can like other guys,but none will have the effect he has on me it's still that way,and insist,this won't ever change. It's even scary how my feelings for him keep growing each day!! It's funny how someone can have this effect over us...
...I do love this man

Do you ever feel like crying and have NO idea of whatever the reason for that sadness might be??
What is there to do when you feel that way? Being with the ones you love the most? That should work,but what if it doesn't. It makes you feel safe,you want them there with you but you STILL cry when they're there.
I don't know what's wrong with me today,I woke up feeling weird,I was sad for no reason AT ALL, Carlos and I went to Holambra ( a small city colonized by dutch people,they pretty much keep so much from the dutch culture there...only,ppl there are BRAZILIAN and THINK they are dutch just cause their ancestors were!Pffft!)yesterday,we slept there, I actually woke up in the middle of the night feeling SOOO GOOD for being able to sleep with Carlos by my side...but then...when I woke up I had this weird feeling inside.
It's almost the same feeling I used to have when I was taking those medicines (which I stoped taking since they made me depressed).
And how about now? Im not taking anything,so...there's nothing for me to STOP TAKING and make it away. Maybe I should START taking something again? Maybe I should blame it on that DAMN TIME OF THE MONTH where most women get stressed, and I get depressed.I guess I will only figure that out when the damn period comes and the PMS goes away...and if it doesnt...then I should really take something!(yes,I know I will have to see a doctor first,Im not that desperate)
