Sweety... I pray that ALL your dreams come true!!
It was a priviledge to be your teacher.
Always be yourself ... and true.

Love always, Miss Kang~

Birthday party ...!?


Birthdays are supposed to be spent with those you love, right?
... well, because I love my students,
I shared my 'special day' with them.
Thanks to Mr. Clouston,
I was able to join my class from last year (4th grade)
and the one I teach now (3rd grade) and have a mini-party.
... honestly, I couldn't have handled them by myself~
but hey, I had fun! ^^







Thank you for all the joy you bring into my life!

PS. the cupcakes, I got them at La Vie En Douce

Dociousaliexpisticfragicalirepus ? @.@

So yeah ... from Wikipedia ... ^^

The roots of the word have been defined as follows:
super- "above"
cali- "beauty"
fragilistic- "delicate"
expiali- "to atone"
docious- "educable"

with the sum of these parts signifying roughly
"Atoning for educability through delicate beauty."

M&M presenting Dalva & I


Hahaha ... we actually went to watch a movie The Accidental Husband
in the Eldorado shopping mall ... but we found these lovely statues
and we just HAD to snap a few shots with them~ ^^




Dalva, te adoro!!

La Femme de Trente Ans



Então, li esse livro A Mulher de Trinta Anos
pelo escritor francês Honoré de Balzac.
Confesso que não foi tão fácil entender,
pois não sou culta o suficiente
para ler uma obra literária desse nível
assim como algumas pessoas que me cercam
... hahah ... mas foi uma boa experiência.

O amor é a poesia dos sentidos.
Ou é sublime, ou não existe.
Quando existe, existe para sempre
e vai crescendo dia a dia.

Bom, se quiser saber do que o livro se trata ... leia você mesmo! ^^


Love Story




Love Story
Songwriters: Taylor Alison Swift

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

São Paulo Restaurant Week



31 de agosto a 13 de setembro de 2009

O Restaurant Week é o maior evento gastronômico do mundo, que surgiu há 17 anos em Nova Iorque e acontece em mais de 100 cidades,
em vários países.
São Paulo é reconhecida internacionalmente pela sua gastronomia:
abriga excelentes restaurantes, onde podemos apreciar
o melhor da culinária mundial.

O que esperar quando o RW acontece em São Paulo?
Vamos descobrir de 31 de agosto a 13 de setembro quando acontece a 5ª edição paulistana do evento que chega prometendo superar as expectativas.
São 202 restaurantes participantes que aceitaram o desafio de criarem menus especiais a valores populares. Os menus são compostos por uma entrada,
um prato principal e uma sobremesa com valores fixos
para todos os restaurantes:
R$ 27,50 no almoço e R$ 39,00 no jantar.
Em homenagem ao Ano da França no Brasil, alguns dos restaurantes participantes da edição de inverno do SPRW também prepararam pratos para você degustar o melhor da culinária francesa.

O objetivo do SPRW, além de democratizar o acesso à alta gastronomia, é contribuir socialmente: em todos os menus é acrescido R$ 1, destinado à Fundação Ação Criança.

Por isso, visitar os restaurantes durante o período do evento
é uma ótima oportunidade para conhecer os melhores restaurantes da cidade
e contribuir socialmente.
Vale a pena conferir os menus que os restaurantes da capital mundial da gastronomia oferecem para o maior evento gastronômico do mundo!

Milestone~



The length of our days is seventy years --
or eighty, if we have the strength;
yet their span is but trouble and sorrow,
for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
Who knows the power of your anger?
For your wrath is as great
as the fear that is due you.
Teach us to number our days aright,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 90:10 - 13

Waiting ...

Wanting,
lusting,
to be held,
to be loved,
to feel warmth,
to feel your beating heart.
Wanting to be sheltered from the cold,
heartless winds.
Falling into invisible arms;
into an abyss of love.
Wishing,
hoping,
that my desires will be filled;
my desires of loving warmth.
Wanting to be held,
comforted,
loved.
Dreaming of passionate embraces,
of tender kisses,
loving words,
romantic nights.
Waiting for undying love.

Changing my ride ...


So, it's Sunday afternoon, REALLY not in the mood to do anything concerning work. I've been going to work for this past week, but there's only been meetings and planning ... Honesly, I haven't got much done ... I've been too lazy and I'm not ready to start working again!! Heeeelp!! Hahahah ...

Anyways, my parents have been here in Sao Paulo with me for the past few weeks and our primary goal was to look for a 3 bedroom apartment with garage etc and start paying for it and ... eventually in a few years ahead become my sole property. My parents were to help me with the downpayment for the apt, BUT, things didn't turn out the way I thought they would. Things got a little better actually, for me at least.
I GOT A CAAAAAR!!! Hahahah ... How cool is that?!
I never thought of getting a car ... or at least didn't think of getting one till after I have my own house. I think my parents felt sorry for me having to take so many buses to and fro all about town. So now I'm changing my ride~~

... I don't have it with me yet, for it's being shipped and brought into town within the next 15 days ... Meanwhile, what I've been doing is going online and checking out things about it and what they say about it out there~~

Smokefree State?


As I'm always a little behind on what's currently happening around me... heheh ... here I am a couple days late with the NO SMOKING law adopted by the entire State of Sao Paulo.

From the O Estado de S.Paulo... A lei antifumo começou a vigorar hoje, à meia-noite, com tranquilidade na capital paulista. A lei prevê multa inicial de R$ 792,50 a R$ 1.585, dependendo do porte do estabelecimento, aos recintos que não banirem fumo e fumódromo, deixarem de colocar avisos sobre a lei em local visível e não retirarem cinzeiros. O valor da sanção dobra em caso de reincidência. O terceiro flagrante rende suspensão das atividades por 48 horas e, na quarta infração, o gancho para o estabelecimento é de 30 dias.

I wonder how it'll actually be carried out
... but as long as everyone does their part ...
there's hope for us to live in a healthier environment, right?
This is the website for the antismoking law ...
Ah, e pra quem conhece o Paulinho Chun ...
ele esta em um dos clips do Antifumo.
