I'm so excited about this looooong weekend! ;)
A girlfriend of mine has come from São Paulo to visit me (in Rio)...
I've picked her up at the airport, we've gone to the beach and now... we are heading up to the Christ Redeemer!
The interesting thing is... I am always so busy that I don't stop to admire the place I live...
I've forgotten the reason it's called Marvellous City!
So, today I am happy like the tourists, like my friend... :)
..Cuz I'll have the opportunity to enjoy the city...

Estou tão empolgada com o fim de semana prolongado! ;)
Uma amiga minha de São Paulo veio ao Rio me visitar...
Eu a busquei no aeroporto, fomos à praia e agora... estamos indo ao Cristo Redentor!
O interessante é que... estou sempre tão ocupada que não paro para admirar o lugar em que vivo...
Esqueci a razão pelo qual é chamada "Cidade Maravilhosa!
Então, hoje estou feliz como os turistas, como minha amiga... :)
... Porque terei a oportunidade de curtir a cidade...

What's the difference of being different?

Yesterday I felt like Shrek... not belonging to the world. I felt like a stranger and that made me feel really sad. But you know what? Today I see a positive side of it. I mean... what is the point of being like everyone? Being different doesn't mean, in the first place, being wrong. Being different means being yourself. How many brilliant and talented people have contributed to the world? Weren't they different? That's why they could make the difference. From this point of view, I kinda like the idea of being different. In fact, I love that! Check out what people think about being different... "In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different." (Coco Chanel) "Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary." (Cecil Beaton) "Share our similarities, celebrate our differences." (M. Sco...

Changing your perspective

A few weeks ago there was this huge blackout in Brazil, caused by a technical problem in Itaipu dam, the second-largest hydroelectric power producer in the world ( Yahoo news here ). It was very weird and a bit scary to realize how dependent we are on eletricity. For hours there was no TV, no radio, no computer. Some cellphones weren't working and despite my notebook being ok, it seemed useless without internet. I was at home when it happened and I prayed for those people who were out of their homes at that time. I imagine how many of them were in the subway, in the elevator, at the office, alone on the street. I remembered people in hospital and all kinds of situation in which people are highly dependant on electricity. I took that time to think and I realized we should be always ready to live with little, even though the media keeps saying we need more and more, in this endless consumption world. I remember the day after the blackout some people would complain about missing a...

Priorities...

I am impressed by the fact that most people doesn't know what is really important in their lives. In fact, everybody knows what is best and could make their own top 10 list, but theory sometimes is far away from the reality. I myself have had a hard time trying to balance my priorities. And it seems that I never get it. I had a teacher in my master who used to compare economy to a short blanket. He used to say "If the country reduces the interests in order to acelerate the economy, it will suffer from inflation. On the other hand, if it increases the interests in order to control the inflation, it will suffer from stagnation". From that I want to make a parallel to our lives. To cover all we need or want we sometimes change our priorities. In this way, we are constantly trying to balance our lives, though not always with success. Since the last few weeks I've had some struggles. I've had no answer for them or maybe I just couldn't see their real importance. Th...
