I can't be. Every time Carnaval comes all I want to do is stay home and rest. I don't like football (or, for people in the U.S., soccer), I don't care about going to the beach so much... and I don't drink beer. I don't like the flavour ( Read more... )

In some states of Brazil, it is raining so much that some places are suffering from floods. Here where I live there hasn't even been raining, but we all see on the news what's happening in states like Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro ( Read more... )

And OMG! It's hot here in Brazil. I actually envy you, all of my friends that are enjoying winter. I think I'd enjoy my summer more if it wasn't so dawn hot ( Read more... )

It's been two years here, travelling almost every weekend so I could go home, taking a five-hour bus to go and another five-hour bus to come back. And I'm finally getting transferred back home. Well, not exactly home, but nearer, so I'm happy. Very happy ( Read more... )

Finally some GREAT news: CONGRATULATIONS TO MAUREEN MAGGI (long jump) AND TO OUR FEMALE VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS! Thank you for making me proud of being Brazilian! Oh, and to Natália Falavigna, who got the bronze medal in the taekwondo. It's very special for me, she is from my city!!! And it was one of those bronze medals that just feel like gold, you ( Read more... )

So, I won't even say much about the Brazilian men soccer team, I'll only say that we deserved to lose. Even if it is humiliating to lose for Argentina ( Read more... )

I'm watching it right now. It's beautiful, and I'm waiting for the Brazilian athletes to finally appear. Chinese alphabetical order is very different. You never guess who will be next. :D

But it's a beautiful ceremony and I'm enjoying it!
