How Can I Help Someone?!


So this being the first weekend
... as a year older...
I thought of going ahead
and doing something helpful
to someone whom I haven't
the faintest clue
because ... for me ...
if I actually know the exact person
to whom my aid is going
... I guess I get a little full of myself ...
which causes me to sin!
More sin in my life... no thanks~
Soooo yeah,
I went and donated some blood
at Hospital do Coração ... Maaaaaaaaan, it was tough!!!
... I was poked and searched for a blood stream ...
and when they finally found a liiiiiiiittle one,
I had to do the open-close of my hand insessingly,
otherwise no blood would come out! haha...
It seemed the longest 15 minutes of my life
to pump just 470mg of blood.
The nurse said that I have
very thin blood vessels.
Anyways, after the 'hard part'
there came the 'fun part'
... got free snack ... Yuhuuuu!!!
Hahaha ... I have to admit,
kinda felt like the Pavlov dog ...
if ya noe wutta mean~
What a shame, eh! ^^
Well, it was another interesting experience.
Lord willing, I don't have any problems and my blood will be useful to someone
... save a life, maybe~?!
Oh, I almost forgot to mention...
they'll send me all the results of my blood 'test'
in a month or so to my home address ...
and I'll even get a donator's card! Hehe~


Dear Hm-hmm...


Awwww, how cute!! Hahaha ...
this is the cutest Happy Birthday I've ever heard!
... a dear friend, John, found it on YouTube ...
"Where else would I find such things!" he said.
Anyhow... I loved it!
Thanks Joooooooooooohn! ^^

Amiga Dalva


A Dalva é aquela amiga que SEMPRE me faz sentir bem.

ela é a minha melhor amiga!
Hahaha... Ok ok...

Poxa, se não fosse por ela,
não teria comido um bolo de aniversário de verdade.

Ganhei uma rosa linda!
Ganhei duas camisetinhas!
Ganhei uma amiga pra vida toda!



Dalva, obrigada de coração ...
sou super grata a Deus por vc.

Teacher's Happy Hour


So every Wednesday we have teacher's meeting
after school hours until ... 6PM ...
Lyle, my boss, suggested going for a drink afterwards.
So ... among the MANY hardworking teachers,
only the few of us went.
For those of you who know me,
know so well that I don't take part in these
'happy hour' bonding moments ... hahaha ...
but just cuz it was my bday, I guess I made an exception.
It was nice to NOT talk about school and be 'normal'.

Cebrating my birthday with my students


This year I turned ... oops, I lost count!
Hahaha ... anyways ... I DID want to celebrate my birthday
with the special little guys that I spend every single day.
So, I took a few 'choco-pies' ... one for each student ...
and a few candles ... also one for each student ...
Noooooo, I didn't light any of the candles,
even though I took a little box of matches. ^^


It was so funny, cuz I gave them a little invitation card
at the beginning of the afternoon saying that at exactly 3:10 PM,
there was going to be a birthday party in our class.
... that would be exactly when they leave their art class
and rush out for their busy aftenoon ...
I was 99.9% sure they would be not even remember the party
... and all my birthday plan was going downhill~


But hey!!! During Arts class,
they all made a birthday card for me!!
It was sooooooo sweet... one for the sweetest surprises ever!!
We exchanged surprises ... hehehe ... It was fun!



I think this is one of those moments that reassures me
that working with children is the best thing in the world.
They're trully full of surprises!
Btw, the kids think I'm ... at most ...
25 years old. ^^
