I went to Brugges on July 2005. My mom said so much about this place, I was really curious to go. They told me it was a small village, but I had no idea it was THAT small! But even though it was small, our guide didn’t stop telling stories and stories! There are some reeaally old constructions that go back to the XIth century! It’s all so cute, and so well conserved… I’d really like going back there.

Summer break is almost here for us, south hemisphereans, lol!
I don’t even know if I’m going to travel, I’m just glad I can have a little time for myself!
I love summer: sun, beach, relax… christmas, a new year comming up…! It’s all so exiting. The only thing is we can’t really hope to have a white christmas in Brazil… No fireplace on, no sleighs… but oh well! We have other good stuff…like, we can eat ice cream! mmmm…
Yeyy, I’m really looking foward to our school break!
I guess at some point we have to be happy we go to school, or else vacations wouldn’t be so much fun!

Foo Fighters is my favorite band, so I decided to write a post about this group. There are four members in this band: Dave Grohl who plays the guitar and sings (he used to play the drums in Nirvana), Nate Mendel who plays the bass, Taylor Hawkins who plays the drums and Chris Shiflett who also plays the guitar. The band actually started only with Dave Grohl. On the first Foo Fighters CD, he played all the instruments himself.
One of my favorite songs is called Resolve, not just because melody, but too because of its lyrics (http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Resolve-lyrics-Foo-Fighters/0FE4DF7CA6E9C99148257018000A4CA6).
I always associate songs to periods of my life, and this one represented a pretty long time of mine. Its about him not being able to move on, he’s stuck on someone, and he wants “a little bit of resolve”. I really like it.
Here’s the videoclip:
The first time I saw a picture of this place I couldn’t beleive it was actually real.
Wow, since then, I saved millions of photos of this place in my computer and I keep imagining what it would feel like to be in contact with such beautiful sight. Bright bright ocean and sand… it looks like paradise!
I heard that, in some decades, the french polynesia islands won’t exist anymore because of the global warming, and consequently, the level of the water will get higher. So sad to think humans are capabable of destroying the few spots world could seem like heaven. Where is this world leading to?

I want to draw the perfect house. Wishful thinking? Maybe…
The first word you’ll think of when you enter it would be “space”. I love space, clean space. A huge white and minimalist house made of glass, steel and concrete. Nothing else. There’s nothing really impossible about that. But this is just the start… it’s a very general idea of my ideal house. It will be placed in a very high spot, and it’ll have a wonderful view to the ocean and to the mountains. But it will also be really really close to the city, and will have a view to its’ buildings. Even though the house is huge, its size will be imperceptible from the outside. The 25 meter pool is on top of the house, with the oportunity of putting or taking off the ceiling, in case of sun/rain.
2 levels each room (with secret connections to all parts of the house) with wheels…so that if your tired of where your room is placed, you’ll just have to press a button that will automatically push your room to the place you asked for.
If I’m a dreamy person? Yeah…a little, I guess
I can’t tell more…just research my name on google some years from now, who knows maybe you won’t see crazy houses!
I always wish I could sleep more! Before bedtime I’m so exhausted because of such a looong day, and when I finally get some time to rest, it seems time flies aways. Don’t you ever wake up having the impression you fell asleep like 10 minutes ago, when in fact you slept for 7 hours?
It’s funny how we disconnect completly from time. It’s even more interesting when we dream… why do we dream? I dream pretty much, and 50% of the time I dream is about things that actually happen the day after…spooky!
The other 50% corresponds to dreams about things I really want… like travelling, or… drawing…
Anyway, to me, sleeping is escaping from reality, it’s so releiving! That’s probably why vacations are so good…we can sleep all day long =)

The sea.
It’s funny to imagine how, many years ago, people used to look at it and think that the ocean had an end. I keep imagining what they thought would come after. A huge precipice? Monsters?
Now that we all know the world has a spheric shape, there’s not really anymore mystery. But there’s something about it that gets me wondering. Maybe because it’s so big. There’s a whole underwater universe that, happily, humans (almost) haven’t invaded yet. Many things go on over there, and this whole amout of water is like a mask to me. A mask that hides secrets, lives (and deaths), stories and legends… The ocean occupies the biggest part of earth, and nobody is able to explore it all. So I explore what I can with my imagination: it’s like a huge space where minds are free.
It’s so sunny outside, and I’m at school wondering…Why is this taking so long?
Almost sixteen years of routine. It’s true that school is great because it prepares our future, but it seems to me that the educating system has stopped in time. School is boring most of the time, and it’s not motivating. Isn’t it wrong? Isn’t school supposed to make us WANT to learn, and not always feel like we HAVE to learn, study, pratice, be evaluated… I’ve always had fun learning new things. To me, it was always interesting. But school brought us to a certain point where all we do is forced, mendatory. Rare are those student that work because they feel like it, and even more rare are those who are actually volontary to do more than what was asked. This is not the way educating is supposed to go, is it? Today’s educating mentallity is completely nonsens, incomprehensible. What’s the use of forcing students to work? Those who don’t want to, just won’t ever, no matter what educators do. And the more educators force them, more the lazy students won’t want to work. And when that happens the applicated students will feel more and more pressured, thinking that what the teachers say concerns them. In general, teachers have the habit to get mad at the whole class, when few of them are responsible for the mess and disorder. They blame all student for something that doesn’t praticularly concern others. In plus, their only reference to juge a student is from what they see, and the vision is not a strong enough instrument to make a opinion. It hurts to realize that some refuse to see efforts we do, and that they only see our mistakes. To me, school is the center of injustice. And I simply just can’t tolerate that. I can’t wait untill I’m out.
While people wishes us all sorts of things such as health, peace, love… Why not just wish for happiness? It includes all of it in it! Life is actually all about being happy. Everything we do is directly or indirectly related to the search of happiness.
So this is it… I just want to be happy!
I just wanted to say a word about last weekend. It was my best friend’s birthday, so I felt like posting something “in her honor”, lol…
She invited her closest friends to her house, and we had a lot of fun!
I wish her the best!
