Muchas cositas!

My dad always says that I'm a good writer, but I guess he's only being a father. Nevertheless, I might admit that I do have some joy in writing, although my performance with the pen & paper set is better in Portuguese, or at least it was. Am actually writing about the art of "writing" because right now I'm in the middle (beginning) of my thesis, and I must admit that my skills aren't good enough for something big like this. At least that is what my tutor thinks, not that he said so, but the actions of scribbling over all my ideas, effort and time makes it self-evident.

Besides the red pen attack, I am still figuring out the logistics of my "return". Now that I've been homeless for more than six months (meaning not renting an apartment on my own, cause I've been warmly welcomed by Mrs. Maria and Mr. Robert to their house for the past months!), my things are all over the city! Still have some things with my friends, four boxes plus miscelaneous at P's and all my daily gadgets back at Qing Pu. Don't know how and not even WHEN will I gather everything at one place and then find out what am I going to do with all my stuff!

And that leads us to another question: What am I going to do with my life afterwards? Oh! So many things to think about right now, that I wish I had more time to do so...

More time for my thesis, more time for my logistics, more time to figure out what am I gonna do... Guess that in a way everything is linked! Messy messy life!

Muchas cositas para hacer en tan poco tiempo!

Time management: almost eleven o'clock and I still haven't been through the notes from yesterday... My cue to stop here...

Black thoughts.

Sometimes you rely too much on people. Sometimes you need to, it's like religion, you need it. But just as putting faith in God and blaming him for not doing things according to your plan, you get disappointed with people in whom you blindly rely on and put so much expectations on one's actions and attitudes. Today I felt hit by a tsunami. Suddenly I had no "job", no boyfriend, no friends and no family to talk to, to cry on their shoulder, to feel safe just for the fact that you're being held at that moment. And the worst part is that when you actually gather the strength to call them, they don't even have a clue of what you are going through and you feel guilty to drag them into your "not-so-perfect" world, or you just feel ashamed and have no guts to admit you are a complete failure. Then when you most need the people you love, you make an effort not to, and let them live their lives without concerning about yours. At the end of the day, the only one that you're disappointed with is YOURSELF.

Random thought...

Am drowning in philosophical thoughts, thinking about "meaning of life" and that sort of things... And I must say that I'm not really amused by these cloudy thoughts. It must have been easier to live in the middle age...

AIDA: A New Broadway Musical!

I've been wanting to write for a while, but time is a commodity right now. Have been working on my final projects and that can be really consuming! Anyways, last Sunday, 28th of September, I went to the see AIDA, the Broadway musical. Here's a little bit more about it:

"Aida is a musical drama in two acts based on Giuseppe Verdi's Italian-language opera by the same name, which is based on a story by Auguste Mariette which is based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The musical was produced by Hyperion Theatricals, a unit within Disney Theatrical, with music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice, and book by Linda Woolverton, Robert Falls, and David Henry Hwang."

Overall, the musical was amazing and I was more than impressed with Aida's singing! Ops, have to go now, write more about it later... or not!

Airplane Ticket = Christmas in Brazil!

I'm doing an extensive research for cheap flight tickets Shanghai-Brazil round-trip lately but the efforts done until now were pretty much in vain. The average fare is around 18000RMB, which is almost 5000 Brazilian Reals! I really want to spend Christmas with my family, but am having second thoughts now. Too much for oil crisis, rocketing fuel prices and an increase of over 20% in air tickets taxes. My thought would be getting a cheap flight to Europe, Germany or France, there's always special offers and promotions of that kind. Then, from there buying a ticket to Brazil. It turns out that by doing this I can save up to 1000RMB, which is not bad. Any other suggestion or solution, please don't hesitate to drop me a line! Thanks!

My new blog!

I am certainly new at this. Am only used to writing on random pieces of paper, scribbling ideas, thoughts and feelings, and, as usual, they always get lost. Lost ideas, thoughts and feelings. Don't really know why I haven't thought about creating a blog before (I might have actually, but guess that particular thought and paper got lost). So this is it: my new blog! Hope you enjoy it as much as I am now! ;)
