What to do???

Daily, I think about what I can do to change the world and also to change my life! It is so complicated!

Every day new ideas come up to my mind, such as to change my job; opening a new business; helping NGOs; to live in Australia … etc.

Today for example, I am willing to have my own business. But until yesterday I was planning to move to Australia and live around there in 2 years from now.

To be honest I would like to do everything! My dream is to achieve my goals as below:

Now: to fund-raising for NGO called “Casas Taiguara”.
6 months: To get a promotion or to get a challenger job.
1 – 2 years: Opening my own business.
2 – 3 years: To live in Australia.

It doesn’t seem so difficult. However I usually change my mind about what I should to focus first.

Anyway, I will endeavor to accomplish my dream!

WISH ME LUCK!!

Holidays

At the last 2 months I have worked a lot! So much that I used to wake up to work, and get back home just to have dinner and sleep.

After this crazy time at work, at least I will have a rest during the New Years Eve. As the Company where I am working for has a break in the week between Xmas and NYE, I will travel to Bahia with my girlfriend. 2 days in Salvador e 4 days in Morro de Sao Paulo.

I can`t wait for this trip!! Today I start the countdown: 40 days … Bahia here we go!



If anybody who is reading this blog also goes to Salvador and Morrod e Sao Paulo from Dec,26th to Jan, 2nd let me know. We can maybe meet up …

I love beach!!

I can’t measure how much I love beach! It is a passion no measurable. Living in Sao Paulo is being hard after 1,5 year living in Australia and New Zealand. I used to go to the beach at least 3 times a week. Here in Brazil 3 times per semester, I think! Very upset!

Anyway, as much as I can I go to my girlfriend´s beach house in Caraguatatuba, Sao Paulo north coast. However, the weather is a problem there. The sun appears rarely. Lol… actually not so rarely, but it rains a lot.

Last Monday was national holiday, so we could go to the beach. Even if the sun came only on Monday, we could enjoy Friday, Saturday and Sunday outside the city. Time enough out of the office to forget job problems.

In this trip my mom also went with us. She could meet my girlfriend´s parents and relatives.

Follow some pics below ...



Since a few days ago, we are thinking about going back to Australia. It wouldn’t be a bad idea! Who knows if in 2 years we don’t get back to that paradise???


Already dreaming...   OH BONDI BEACH!!


News

Long time without writing on my blog. At the beggining no changes. Then, i had a lot of work and no time to write

So, I will update the changes of my life by subjects:

- Education: I keep studying since I am back. Many courses with majors in Foreign Trade, International Affairs, Negotiating, Trade Marketing and Business Management.

- Work: Since May I am working in a German Company called Arvato Digital Services. Its main business is Media replication (CD / DVD). I am responsible for customer service of local and international clients.

- Personnel: I am now dating a girl who I had met in Australia. Funny, hun? She’s not Australian, though. She’s actually Brazilian and lives in the city next to mine. A bit far away but until now we had no problem. The bad thing is that we can meet each other only on weekends. On the other hand we don’t get bored to each other.

These are all the last changes of my life... then, i will post some of the trips i have had in this period.

Carnaval 2010 - Brazil

Here in Brazil, the Carnaval, is probably the most famous Holiday, as it is a 5 day party all around the country.

Everywhere you go, you can enjoy parties of all styles of people, music and places. The most famous places for Carnaval are Rio de Janeiro and Salvador. I have already been to Salvador in one day of this holiday, when I went on a cruise, called Carnavio. The party in Salvador is spectacular!! Shame that it was just for a day.

In Rio I have never had the chance, unless to see the “rehearsal” at the Avenue. There were only 3 samba schools, but one of the most important: Mangueira.

Although in Rio I have never watched the Carnaval Parade, in São Paulo I have watched 2 times. First, in 2002 I think, and last time, this year.

Along the year, there are many rehearsals in each samba school court, where they choose for the lyrics, costume and everything necessary to win the parade. During the rehearsal everyone can go to know the samba school, to know the music theme and to enjoy with friends.

I have gone to the Rosas de Ouro court, where I usually go before the parade. This year I went there many times with friends. What a surprised, after many years this school won the 2010 Carnaval Parade. I was so glad!


It was a pity that when I went to the parade, this school wasn't on the roster for that day, but for the day before.

Anyway, after come back from overseas, I could enjoy the rehearsals during January, one day of Carnaval Parade and BBQ washed down with beers and swimming pool, in my friend’s country house.
