    This is part of my living room, still not well furnished not painted yet. There´s the corridor, there are 2 bedrooms and at the end of it it´s the bathroom.



    This is a pic of the avenue behind my condominium. There´s a subway station (on the right) and my building is this one on the left. Very practical, convenient and nice place. Also, this avenue is full of pubs and restaurants…

  • Easter Message


    Greetings to everyone observing Easter this year. During this joyful season of new life and renewal, Christians around the world celebrate the central event of their faith — the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, whom Christians believe is the Messiah, the Son of God.


    The life and teachings of Jesus has inspired people throughout the ages to strive for a better world and a more meaningful life. Jesus’ death stands out in history as the perfect example of unconditional love.


    The four Gospels of the Christian Bible recount Jesus’ amazing life, his miraculous death, resurrection and ascension, and his unending offer of salvation to all. The story of Jesus wondrous resurrection comes alive again for Christians each year at Easter.Easter Sunday commemorates in song and celebration the joy and promise of Christ’s triumph over evil and death.


    May Easter be for us, not just a happy annual holiday which is soon past, nor a short religious digression, but the renewal of a firm commitment to our Faith which will be evident to others as they observe our way of life. If we walk in the light of the Resurrection, Easter will renew and refresh us. Even if we have known it only as the retelling of an old story, let us have the courage this year to bow in faith to the Master who died—who suffered an ignominious death for us—and has given us life. This Easter can be the beginning of a new life as well as of a new day.  


    For all its personal import, Easter is not a feast for individuals alone. It is experienced in the company of the Church and in the communion that binds us to each other in the Eucharistic Body and Blood.


    Have a Nice Holiday

  • This is one of those days in which I just don’t feel like doing anything, and I  can’t force myself. While out and about, I´ll probably shop just enough to take care of essentials, and at home, it’s probably vegging out in front of the TV! Won´t  get an attack of the guilts over it. In this ambitious day and age, all of us need days like this. Taking it easy, relaxing, and I´ll  be my old self again tomorrow. Seing the sights tonight…I may go for a walk on Paulista Ave(picture above) when there´s light. Or hang around Ibirapuera Park(below) where there´s peace. I just need… something different tonigh…

  • Love is a decision, not a feeling

    It is true. I have been thinking about it and recently stumbled upon a discussion online
    among believers that love really is a decision, not a feeling. I truthfully can’t deny the fact
    that feeling is present, but it is very dangerous to just associate “love” with feelings alone.
    In addition, 1 Corinthians 13 – the famous bible passage about love, does not associate
    love with state of feelings at all. But it’s a decision, it’s an action. That is what I have recently chosen. To love and be loved.

    Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude,
    it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not
    delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,
    always perseveres.


    Love is definitely a choice and a decision that you have to make. Love can’t be based on
    feelings cause feelings come and go and feelings fade. At the end of the day, you have to
    CHOOSE to love that person. Love is a sacrifice in all ways and it will take ALL of you to carry
    out that sacrifice to make it a commitment.

  • Bliss…


    Have you ever been outside and everything is so beautiful to look at it almost hurts? The sky is a brilliant shade of cerulean blue, lined with a soft layer of misty white clouds. Over to the left is a clump of bushes, a loud but attractive yellow-green. The rust on a bridge overhead shines brilliantly in the sunlight. A semi passing by causes my breath to catch, because it is just the right shade of orange. Everywhere, color and sunlight. Warm colors, brilliant colors, off-setting each other, meshing into a diverse but cohesive landscape; a balm for my eyes, my senses, my soul.

    That’s how I’ve felt recently, when I’m outdoors and I take the time to look around.

  • Strength and weaknesses as someone willing to write

    I think I am generally an average writer. There are many things that I have problems writing but then there are other things that I write much easier then other things. I have problems when I write analytical papers because I have a problem writing down my opinions, I am better at saying them and speaking. I find it is much harder to put something down on paper then it is to say something because when you write something down it can look wrong and sound wrong. Looking at what you are trying to say makes a difference, I don’t really knw why though. Writing just takes time and many different drafts to try and express my opinion, eventaully I will get it down. I think I am a better editor then a writer. In high school we had to write many different papers and it was always after I wrote a paper and it was always a terrible paper that I could do something. I need somewhere to start. Starting anything is the hardest part because there are so many places you can actuall start from. When editing you can say no this sounds better here and that needs to be re worded. I think that is the only reason that my papers come out ok, it is because I can make them flow if I read over it enough because I catch the mistakes while reading not writing. Though I also admit that my grammer isn’t perfect. I still do make mistakes. Sometimes I think somethig sounds better then someone else and there is nothing that I can do about that. I think I would do a better job editing our paper and I would help us make more proegress if I did that, rather then writing the paper.
    I think writing is a necessity and everyone should be able to write an adaquate paper. Everything a person does will cause them to write something this day in age. Especially with the internet and e-mails. Although it isn’t a piece of paper it is still a form of communication and I think that writing shows a lot about a person. I think that as the years go by I will make more progress in my writing and I will learn many different writing styles since everyone you meet will have a different style.

  • Romance blossoms for you today, Shy


    Things regarding love and romance are going well around here at this time. Something has sparked the detective within me who is anxious to probe, inquire, and search out the core truth in every situation. My grounded, stable, and practical approach will be my greatest asset.I just need to make sure that I let someone else be the martyr today - Let another also be  the one who needs to take control. Or… just be the one.

  • between what it is and what isn’t


    If the hands, as these words are typed, are real
    If your eyes, as you read them, are real
    If my thoughts are more than just a fantasy
    If I am real


    Would you take me?
    Without any other expectations
    Without dreams or obligations
    Would you take me?


    Every word
    Every thought
    Without facial expressions or scents
    Living between two parenthesis

    **Armour…this one is to thee…
