PARIS - THE MUSIC HEIRESS


OOOOOh I'm sooo bad!
I couldn't resist this icon, but the truth is...I like Paris!
I mean, I know she isnt symbolizing the correct role model which affect so many insecure teens nowadays, but she knows how to market herself, and for that, I give her all the credit!

From time to time, I have to nourish my teenage needs and praise Paris Hilton's ability to sing, which is for my surprise, not that bad!

I just downloaded her new cd - It is simple, shallow, happy bubble gum, good beats, sexy, hot r&b pop!

So excuse me, but I really like it!

FLIRT SCHOOL DO'S & DO'S



Looking back at my past male conquests (I'm kidding!), I analyse how I managed to get them interested in me. To flirt successfully is sometimes harder than science. Reading through my 10.000 different magazines, I go through the flirting rules to see if I did the following:

	Smile
	Psychology and body language experts agree that one of the easiest things you can do to make yourself instantly attractive - and approachable - is to smile. [ ]

Look at him
Harvard psychologist Zick Rubin discovered that when deeply in love, couples look at each other when talking, and are slower to look away when someone else joins the conversation. Simply lock eyes with the person you fancy and keep them there, even when they've finished talking or someone else joins in. This way he'll know that you're more interested in him than the other person. [X]

Match his movements
Mirroring someone's body language is the single most effective tool in your Flirting Box. All you need to do is match or imitate his gestures and movements. If he crosses his legs, cross yours. We like people who are like us. If someone is mirroring our behaviour, we sense they're on the same level. We feel both accepted and flattered. [ ]

	Listen
	Listen to what he's saying. Being heard will make him feel interesting. And if you make him feel good, he's going to want to stick around. [X]

	Touch him
	Touch is the number one instant bonder. The briefest touch can have an electric effect on how somebody feels about you. [ ] Compliments

Compliments work wonders on you, don't they? Flirting,involves feeling good about yourself and making others feel good. [ ] Isn't that interesting, according to the flirting rules i missed out on 3 and yet, I still succeeded - or? Guess there are no clear flirting rules to follow.

...

Here are a few cheesy pick up lines for those moments our lack of repertoir within charm is on minus:

'Are we near the airport or is that just my heart taking off?'

'Did you hear the latest health report? You've got to up your intake of vitamin me.'

'You must be Jamaican, because Ja-makin-me crazy!' (my personal favorite!!)

'Can I borrow your library card? I wanna check you out!'

FO SCHIZZLE, BITCH!!!


If there is something I'd love to be able to say but can't (for moral reasons) is to say to my girlfriends, 'What's up, Bitch?' like guys say to one another...

(!!!)

"Fo schizzle, my sizzle" will have to do for me.. hahahaha!!!!

Confessions of an unglamorous 20 something girl


"You speak out all you feel is defiance All you need is some self-reliance Cuz this world is gonna always try us And all you wanted was to run for cover Well here’s looking to your self and no other We’re all searching for that special something And we keep on running"


Lately I have been reflecting over a lot of aspects towards human behaviour and mentality. We all have our own ideas and opinions, so this time, I feel like I want to write down and let you world, know how I see it.

This time I am reflecting over Mr Right issues and all its unlogical meaning.So I will use the word as a metaphore....

This issue overwhelms me to a great extent. At this phase of our lifes we can’t avoid the issue, and if you think about it, we are surrounded and reminded of it at every chance we get.
I often ask myself what is the most important thing for us, in this life. .When we are small, the most important thing is is the latest toy which sings and moves, and Mom. We all have a Mom.
When that phase is over, we want to experiment and become daredevils, not worrying about consequences – drugs, drinks, parties, loud music, make out, make friends..


And now, at 23 I ask myself, what is the most important thing to me, at this very moment?

*I still want to experience, but not in the same level as in when I was a teenager. Another sort of experience.

*I want love – all sorts of love, in all its pureness, faces and colors.
I depend strongly on feelings and security at this very moment of my life. Security that my sister will always be there, that those precious friends from the past still remain in my present, that the one I chose to love sees me the way I see them. The love of my family and support.

*Security in myself – that I make the right choices, that I follow my heart and try to be true to it.

*Identity – to find the source of what Is the purpose of my life but above all, to enjoy it and to have the capacity to shed some warmth and love in the hearts of the people whom I love and chose to share my experience here with.



Now that you got a picture I will get to the point – Mr Right..

It is such a cliché to talk about these things because everytime we hear about it we immedietaly criticize and judge the topic as silly and very “Sex and the city”-like. But no, I refuse to be put in that category, as silly as this topic may sound in your ears as you read it. I too, alike my sister, like to observe human behaviour and this topic carries a great meaning to me at this very moment of my life.

To begin with, the word “Mr Right” is a bad term. It makes us obsessed about its meaning and if such utopia does exist. In other words, it pisses the hell off me. It brings me to reflect over my own life, and not that that is a bad thing!! – the very contrary, but it scares me. I feel pressure to analyse every small detail and behaviour around me.

I am constantly observing and questioning and at the same time trying to lead a normal life believing, or at least trying to believe I am a smart cookie when it comes to love (believe me, that is a tough one).

I don’t have a romantic flick-like relationship, nor do the clouds turn pink everytime we share the small space and fragments of seconds the moment before we kiss..and that is alright. I know reality is everything but that – it is in fact, better.

However I do question my relationship(s). That is right. Not only the current one. For me, each and every one of them we very different from eachother. I was different in every one of them and so were the guys. The needs, the special language between the two, were different as well.What kind of person do I really need, and what do I have to change in myself in order to make it work with the special someone? I too, have the responsability to be a Miss Right and work on my own faults.

The truth is that, every girl in this stage of life, who has a little turmoil going on inside, wonders the very same and goes through this 3 headed monster called Mr Right -blues.

I myself, become very upset at the situations we have to go through in order to figure this monster out. It has digged deep inside my core and its there to stay - so I might as well make peace with it. Nevertheless, I know this will take a long time to become a reality – afterall, all sorts of wars in the world take an endless amount of time to solve.....so why would this be any different, even if its another sort of war?

Women will feel extremly betrayed by me when I confess here that I have accepted the fact that I no longer expect as much from men during this phase of our young lives as before.
Dont get me wrong, I am not dependent on anyone nor do I live of ilusions. To have a relationship and make it work during our 20's is at its most delicate, insecure, unstable and breakable state right now.

Love needs space and time to grow in us and then to become truly & completely embraced by us - but in order for that to happen, we have to have lived and learnt a little and finally let it come into our lifes naturally. That is how it should be. If time is what we need, why do we have the need to have so much control over it?

I just wish things weren’t so complicated for us when we are in our 20’s. Man, what a burden! I don’t think we are capable of being satisifed to a 100% with our relationships right now either. We are supposed to follow the pace we are given, and the unwritten rules which nobody talks about.

We are slaves of this punishing silence, and we live ignorant in this sort of distorted bliss. I am so insecure about so much concering this, because all I want is to be sure I am doing right and nourishing my heart, rather than strangleling it with lies.

Mr Right does not exist for us in our 20’s as far as I am concerned – Mr Right, right now, are the men we meet now. What will come out of it, only time will tell, and along the way we will learn from our mistakes, although i dont believe in mistakes. You know what I mean.
We problably won’t ever know. But if there is a time when we can’t be sure at all, is right now. So much happens in our lifes, so many insecurities and specially, finding out what we really need.

Love doesn’t have to be a prison. It will always be hard on the heart, but love is a battle – and we chose to be a part of it.

There is so much I want to experience, but I want to share a rollercoaster of experiences holding the warm hand of a special someone, but not because Im afraid of being alone. Not at all! I believe life tastes better when we share it with our special ones. That is what life is all about.

..we are still growing up and fighting our own fears and discovering what the world has to offer.. its too hard to hold on to an ilusion. We don't dare to expect so much...It's too risky. It's simply too much of an emotional burden tp the heart.

I want to be able to enjoy what life and the boys in our lives have to give right now - as well with how much I can give. I want a turbulent peace – accepting how things are and enjoying the ride at the same time.

But oooh, if you only knew how much it hurts and tortures my heart to truly embrace this ideology. I'm fighting, I'm fighting, I'm fighting....

...


I "accept", but I will not give in either.
The battle goes on... @)-'--,'--'--

LOVE IS IN THE TRAIN

Stockholm's approach to single life: Create a wagon in the subway exclusively for singles!

That's right. Believe it or not its true. Apparently Stockholm is riding on the NY trend, where the wagon for singles was a fact a few months ago, but the idea fizzled out quickly when passangers graudally became annoyed at the fact that this idea takes away their freedom to chose where to sit.

On the other hand, If I was working for the Swedish Railway Company, this would have been the last of my priorities, because as a few of us know all too well, Sthlm's trains are notoriously problematic..

If i were single, I can just imagine what an awkward feeling it would be to sit in that wagon full of singles. You find your seat, read a little to kill time, and then what? How do we go from there?

How bizarre! How bizarre *singing*

What do you think? Is this a crazy idea?!

THE GRASS ISN'T GREENER..

I should be in bed. Actually, come to think of it, I should a million things, but I don't. I was lying down in my bed, but instead of relaxing my mind, I began to process all the feelings and thoughts I have had lately. So this is what I have been thinking about lately . I am only 23 and I want it all, but I'm not quite sure If I can trust those urges. At this age, what do we really know? Do we only live by our impulses at this point of our lives and believE they are the absolut truths which will lead us to have it all?

Alright, I haven't been specific enough. I want it all, I want the security of a relationship. I want the boring, stable, full of routine hang-ups, small argues, grown but fun, rock hard commitment, nothing can separate us, unconditional adventurous trusting relationship.
I'm only 23, but do I really want that? I cant help but wonder what is making me feel and think this way.
However on the outlook of my life as it is now, none of the above will happen in the near future. Things never turn out the way we expect, so maybe it is true, we can't completely control our destinies..

Why does it have to be so hard to have it all at the age of 23? I think culture and society sets our priorities for every phase of our lives. So if I should follow the norm, I should be single, persuading my studies to 100%, meeting an endless amount of people spending my late nights walking barefoot with complete strangers and exchanging my most inner thoughts with these. Breaking hearts - not keeping any. Moving on. Moving forward. Moving so fast our shadows can't keep up..
So I ask myself again, "Why can't I have this and have it all at the same time?" - who said it isnt possible? Should I accept it the way it is? Is that the right thing to do? What the hell..I resign these norms! They are only made up to control our inner voices and possibilities.

I don't want the control and why should you?

I will quote BEFORE SUNRISE once again, because it fits in this topic so perfectly:


Celine: I guess when you're young, you just believe there'll be many people with whom you'll connect with. Later in life, you realize it only happens a few times.
Jesse: And you can screw it up, you know, misconnect.




The grass isnt greener on the other side..

BEFORE SUNRISE

Today is a typical sunday - quiet, lazy and with a lot of time to spend on..absolutely nothing!
So I decided to dowload a movie I had seen 6 or 7 years ago called "Before sunrise" with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy.

A young man and woman (Celine and Jessie) meet on a train in Europe, and wind up spending one romantic evening together in Vienna. Unfortunately, both know that this will probably be their only night together..

I like these kind of movies, for the simple fact that its a conversation movie. It is simple and genuine. No special effects, no great action scenes, just reality..and that is magical to me - a thousand times more interesting than any smart over the top 20 million action flick.

I am sure many people recognize this movie, as it became very famous. The follow up came 10 years later as "Before sunset" shot in 2004. I strongly recommend it.

Here are a few quotes from the film which I am very keen of:


I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt.


I like to feel his eyes on me when I look away.


Daydream, delusion, limousine, eyelash / Oh baby with your pretty face / Drop a tear in my wineglass / Look at those big eyes / See what you mean to me / Sweet-cakes and milkshakes / I'm delusion angel / I'm fantasy parade / I want you to know what I think / Don't want you to guess anymore / You have no idea where I came from / We have no idea where we're going / Latched in life / Like branches in a river/ Flowing downstream / Caught in the current / I'll carry you / You'll carry me / That's how it could be / Don't you know me? / Don't you know me by now?

You know what's the worst thing about somebody breaking up with you? Is when you remember how little you thought about the people you broke up with and you realize that is how little they're thinking of you. You know, you'd like to think you're both in all this pain but they're just like 'Hey, I'm glad you're gone'. Isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more? Well, who says relationships have to last forever?

Now quotes from the follow up, "Before sunset":

Jesse: In the months leading up to my wedding, I was thinking about you all the time. I mean, even on my way there; I'm in the car, a buddy of mine is driving me downtown and I'm staring out the window, and I think I see you, not far from the church, right? Folding up an umbrella and walking into a deli on the corner of 13th and Broadway. And I thought I was going crazy, but now I think it probably was you.

Celine: I lived on 11th and Broadway.
Jesse: You see? Memory's a wonderful thing if you don't have to deal with the past.

Celine: Baby, you are gonna miss that plane.
Jesse: I know.

I'm designed to feel slightly dissatisfied!

Maybe what I'm saying is, is the world might be evolving the way a person evolves. Right? Like, I mean, me for example. Am I getting worse? Am I improving? I don't know. When I was younger, I was healthier, but I was, uh, whacked with insecurity, you know? Now I'm older and my problems are deeper, but I'm more equipped to handle them. At least now we don't have to pretend that each new sexual experience is a life-altering event.

Celine: I guess when you're young, you just believe there'll be many people with whom you'll connect with. Later in life, you realize it only happens a few times.
Jesse: And you can screw it up, you know, misconnect.

The concept is absurd. The idea that we can only be complete with another person is evil! Right?


And my personal favorite...

You can never replace anyone because everyone is made up of such beautiful specific details. - isn't that true...

A walk in the Kungstradgarden park

A WALK IN THE PARK

A few days ago I came back to Sthlm from Uppsala to visit my sister.
Summer is ending and all students have about a week or two of vacations left.
With that in mind, Becca took me to Sthlm to finally meet her uni friends. We decided to meet up at 18pm for a picknick and wine in the park near the KINGS GARDEN in Stockholm.
They were indeed very nice girls, a bit shy in the beginning but after 2 glasses of wine I noticed the atmosphere began to losen.
The funniest one of the girls was out of doubt Daniela, the girl from Ecuador. She was hilarious and a complete whacko. I havent met anyone quite like her since...well, Maria, an old IB mate who is very special ;)
I think my sister and I are lucky when it comes to meeting eachothers friends for the simple fact that we end up liking them very much.
Anyway, back to the picknick.
3 hrs later we headed over to Medborgarplatsen to a bar. However by then Daniela was a bit too drunk for her own good hehehe.
I met up with a few more of my sisters friends later on and we headed to a persian bar together with Josef, another great friend of mine whom I havent seen since the beginning of summer.

It was cosy to go out in Sthlm and socialize a bit. Meet new people, think of lighter things, reflect... because everybody needs a break from the heavy shit sometimes, so thank you sizzle, its nice to find comfort here..Uppsala is so empty now and I needed a distance from it all..

Im looking foward to the fall..

Purple fingertips and summer bliss

PURPLE FINGERTIPS AND SUMMER BLISS

Hello dear bloggers and readers!
I was supposed to post this a while ago, but because of private reasons, I haven't, but here it is!!

Last week I went to Ludvika in Dalarna with Daniel to visit his family and enjoy the last weeks of vacation.
On one of the days we decided to go blueberry hunting, since we surprisingly stumbled upon quite a lot of them by the water where we were walking and adventuring. I can't describe what a beautiful view that was.
Anyhow, we managed to pick a big bucket of blueberries and a few raspberries.
It took about an hour to clean and separate the blueberries from leaves and bugs (yes, we found a cute little green bug which looked exactly like a leaf - very well camouflaged).
During the evening, Daniel made a quick blueberry crumble pie of it and added some vanila icecream on the side, pitty we didn't take a picture of that, but it was doubtlessly, delicious..It tasted indeed like swedish summer.

On the picture above, you see our purple hands holding the berries in the bucket. Blueberries are known to stain, so it took a while till I got my normal color back around the fingertips :)

A special person

Today my post goes to my wonderful boyfriend Daniel.
It is his 26th birthday and becoming a lot before my eyes. I see him grow and develop. Sometimes it scares me how fast time has passed and how much has changed. We have been together for about a year and a half now. This time of our lives is a big question mark. Nothing is certain and life feels exciting but yet a bit scary. We don't have full control of anything. On our way to the future ahead, we make friends, we lose friends, we find love, we lose love..Indeed emotionally charged. I am not sure though, if I like the fact that we don't have control of anything. A wise man once said that nothing is to be kept or owned. I wonder, deep inside, how he managed to keep his sanity in times when everything became an uneasy question mark. I would like to ask him that...


Anyhow, this is Daniel. My partner, my best friend, my lover and my life.. He issmart, funny, a child inside and a tough idealistic man on the outside never seizing to try to shed light in my darkness..
He has left a strong impact in me. It is one of those people who we always remember throughout life. Although he is going through a lot of doubts and decisions to make, I support him in any decision he makes. I hope he knows that. Looking back, I would have like to have changed so many things that happened, but this is how life is. I just hope that whatever happens, happens for the best..


I love you, Daniel as long as forever goes.

The internet is a lunatic center

My patience is becoming shorter and shorter with the internet lunatic world.
The things I get to hear are mindboggling to say the least. What has happened??????
Let me explain, lately I have seen friends and friends of friends go through hell on online communities because of psychotic women after them. Envy, jealousy...you name it!
The things they do in order to get underneath ones skin makes me wonder what kind of life these women live, if they spend so much effort and energy on women they clearly envy. I dont understand. What scares me the most is the fact that they dont have a reason to envy these people. I wonder what is the point, and hope they get therapy fast because what these people do is an attempt to break down a persons integrity and private life.
Alright, by joinging an online community we are bound to be exposed, so that makes me wonder if we should have our real names flashing on the pages with pictures of us, because this is definetly a trend going on the internet, and it isnt funny.
The thing they dont understand is that by criticizing the women the envy, reflects such an obvious jealousy and you know what it tells us? It tells us that these little bees want to have the bigger jar of honey these girls have (PICTURE ABOVE)

I am happy some of these stories which I have heard have solved themselves, like my sisters friend, who has sued this psychotic woman..
Justice DOES conquer in the end and it is really easy to see through these lunatics, one can see through them, crystal-clear, lacking soul......

A sizzly day!!

Wow, what a day! Today, Rebecca, Ale ( dressed from top till bottom in Brazilian clothe!!!!) and I went to Stockholm's tivoli "Grona Lund".
It was a "sizzly affair" full of candy, speed, action and a big hole in the wallet after we left - hahaha, no not that bad, it was definetly worth it, specially because we don't get to see our small family members so often, unfortunately. This is the time to spoil them, indeed!!

One of the highlights was the mirror room - heck, those mirrors made me look like a freak! First i got a big head, it made me look like i had developed a headache, a neck as long as a girafes, legs of a model - djesss, Rebecca and i agreed that we should get ourselves one of those to do good for our self-esteem ;). The three of us had a great time in there!!
The funniest one was definetly the one which gave us the longest chest - Becca looked like gravity had not been very kind to her. Horrendous but oh so funny!

The day ended by the obligatory stop by good ol' McDonalds and 1 hr and a half later Ale had sinked in bed in record time.

We will definetly miss our little "Ale Berry", but it will be even nicer when the whole Dietz clan come over for christmas in our new house.

Doubtlessly a day to remember, when we look back. These are what memories are made of...

Women behaving badly

Human beings are curious creatures, as I am one myself, I know for a fact that sometimes we are more interesting to observe than watching a program on Animal Planet.

I know that morals and what we considered "right" and "wrong" differs with every individual. It is interesting how our differences in thinking and handling creates us to argue, discuss and agree, but sometimes it goes overboard, leading us back to Animal Planet mode - handling by instinct, acing like animals, instead of acting like rational and mature adults.

I believe we try to behave our very best, until our resources become limited, but on the other hand, some people overreact before thinking, and that really gets my blood to boil over. I find that utterly unnecessary and unfair. No doubt about it.

I confess I have been irrational at times, but never have I judged someone before knowing the truth. It is the same as reading a gossip magazine and asuming that one relies completely on shady resources without questioning it, without thinking for oneself and acting like a primitive robot. Yes, pityful.

That makes me wonder how we can be so different from eachother - I know that our differences lie in childood, experiences, lifestyle, personality and so on, but still, I dont get it.

For example, women who fight over men, in such a vulgar way, to the point that they act desperate to protect their property - but wait a minute, we do not own people, we cannot control that and it is highly unrealistic to be able to control someone. That is just wrong! What an utopia!

If women are upset at a situation with their man, comfront them, not the woman on the outside. Isnt that obvious? If we feel that something is wrong, it is clear that there is a crystal clear problem in the relationship - we all do things for a reason, our boyfriends or even ourselves aren't angels. If we feel hurt or angry, get to the bottom of the problem, if we want to solve the root. Sometimes women blame the wrong target - isn't that a sign of lack of self-esteem? Maybe some people prefer to take the easy way out, blindfolded...

Last but not least, If your boyfriend has betrayed you in any way, why would you still want him? He makes his own decisions, he does it for a reason, its up to you to find out the source of your problems, and girl, the problem isnt a 3d "skank" in the picture. Something is clearly missing, and it isnt sexy underwear.....
So please, rise above! Dont give us a bad image. Keep the catfights to Jerry Springer, that is the purpose it serves us. E-N-T-E-R-T-A-I-N-M-E-N-T....


ps Before I get any death threats I would like to be clear with a few main points:

I am not trying to pick a fight with anyone.
I am of a jealous nature as well, and I understand that at times it is natural to feel possessive and angry, but I decide to grab the bull by its horns rather than acting like one.

If I have offended anyone, I am sorry, I try to stand on a neutral ground.

Update

Aloha!
Long time no read, huh? I know, I have been bad at keeping up the posts since I left Uppsala to Stockholm. I have been home now, and calmed down after the world cup. First I thought of writing about Zidanes tatanka moves, but then i realized every second blogger will be writing about it, so I let it go.

Now to the updates:

1. It has been enjoyable to be home, we have had my brother Carl and his family visiting us for a few days, Daniel came along too and spent a few days with us. It was definetly full house.

Last weekend is what I could easily call the "weekend of hell" - even though it was nice to have so many kids and people at home, everything that could have gone wrong did - the house decided to break down : the pool got a crack, the water overflood the cellar - we still dont know where the water is coming from, the toilet seats broke, my brothers little son, Alexander, nearly drowned ( it wasbt a pleasant experience, luckily I managed to get him out in time - nobody saw that coming, it all happened in a split second, and it took a few seconds for us to realize he had jumped in the water, so my brother jumped from the veranda into the pool with all his clothe to save Alexander, but i managed a few seconds before - thank god...)
2. And last but not least, my dad broke the back of his left foot when he jumped in the pool, so now he cant walk for nonetheless 8 weeks, it makes him basically paralized (and the fact that we are moving in september-october doesnt make it better nor can my parents travel and enjoy summer, so typical isnt it!?!)


It always happens to the best families ;) as i would like to believe.

3. My niece Alessandra has been here in Sweden with us for a few weeks now, she is only 6 years old and came all by herself from Switzerland, where my oldest sister lives - I must admit, I enjoyed having her around more than expected. She is so funny, sweet, easy going, happy, loveable, talkative and creative..it will be definetly hard to let her go, now that i got used to having a cute little thing lying down next to me. I really hope one day to have an exact copy of her ;) - if it doesnt work out, i will just have to ask my sister to "make me one of those" hahahaha!!!!

Well, not much has happened other than that. Have met friends, hung out with family, played beachvolley in Uppsala with some friends, been with my boyfriend enjoying his company, being lazy, reading, enjoying the unusual summer heat that has blessed Sweden this year - all in all, easy-going and enjoyable - it is definetly nice to change environments now and then.

Losers match

I'm sorry, but the most overrated team of this world cup must be Germany. I know that goals are decisive wether or not the team will win, but honestly, I didnt find Germany to possess the most exciting game nor best team of this world cup
Of course, i will not hide my bitterness towards Germany winning over Portugal. I thought Portugal had much more football spark to show for than Germany. The opportunities were there, and they definetly deserved to have won the bronze - It would have been fair, it would have been nice.
However, this world cup has so far upset me deeply and surprised me not once but a couple of times.
I root for Italy to win the gold medal - you know why.. On the other hand, I like their agressivity. But as it seems, this world cup is becoming more and more alike corruption and unfairness - just like the brazilian politician mentality..
If France wins, I will consider this the world cup of the witches - no doubt about it. I dont find football to be a sport anymore as it once was, it is losing its essence and I am sure all of us suporters are aware about it - This world cup smells more and more like rotten fish to me...fishy indeed.
To wrap this post up, let me tell you, Brazil will wake up from their deep cinderella sleep..*yawn*
Now if Brazil ever meets Portugal in 2010, well..that is a whole new story.

My admiration belongs to you this world cup, Portugal! You did after all reach the 4th place - well done!

Lets set the record straight!

Se o meu coracao tivesse cor seria verde e amarelo..
Cansei de certas pessoas me enchendo o saco e tentando tirar satisfacao comigo sobre o fato de que o time magico perdeu. Ah nao, isso nao tem cabimento. Sera que a tradicao brasileira de futebol nao pode fracassar de vez em quando? Ate esse time maravilhoso que tivemos esse ano fracassou, mas tudo por falta de planejamento, de pratica. Eu acredito no nosso time, e eu entendo a pressao de ter que prestar 100% toda vez que eles joguem - ate em treinamento! Primeiro eles idolatram o time quando vai bem, e depois catam pedra...que hipocrisia!



I rest my case.
