New Year!

Always full of hope, I walk into a new year of that wonderful life of mine!

Surprises might come, dreams might take place in my brain and heart, and there we go again, enjoying life as much as possible.

This year is a bit different, since I do not have my family around but I found a company... That fellow is helping me recover happiness I have forgotten a long time ago... The happiness of enjoy life with somebody. I have been doing that alone for a while.

Anyway, 2008 was a amazing year, full of new actions and new challenges. Exactly the way I like it: full of surprises without expectations.

For 2009 I will burn my non desired behaviors, the attitudes that does not fit with me anymore and old habits. Make yourself a list of undesirable habits, the ones that put yourself in trouble, write them down and burn the paper. With the writings, the words will be burnt. And you will fell clean and fresh for the new year.

Many sunshine days for all.

Peace inside, and parties outside!!!!

December 24th, 2008.

Yes it is Christmas!!!!

To say the truth: I didn't feel it coming and I don't feel it now.

Being way from the West makes us forget the comemorations that take place in this period of time.

No decorations at the houses, no Santa Claus giving gifts in the Malls, no "Red and Green" around. 

I feel like today is a normal day, probably because it IS a normal day.

The clubs are opened normally, we don't have many costumers, they are maybe celebrating. 

People in Brasil sending messages of Happiness and Joy. Good friends I have.

My heart is divided today: my life here and my family in Brasil.

Soon it will pass. Soon.

Merry Christmas Marcia. Merry Christmas everyone.

Dance is the hidden language of the soul.

Dance has always silently expressed my deeper feelings.
The wish to find someone that could read that language was profound and discret.
What about dance up to 3 o'clock in the morning and lose contact with time and space? Thousands of unspoken words said in a variaty of languages without saying anything?
I lived the dream I haven't dear to dream: to dance and be understood by someone that also wanted the same.
Maybe it was a dream, anyway...

Surprises...

What about arriving home after a stressed day and receive that surprise....

I have to say, I LOVED IT!!!!

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it

It was a beautiful afternoon Sun Set.

Perfect lines and simetry. Impossible not to photograph it!
 

Light drawing wonders at the sea...
 

Before having the hair cut.

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

It was posted on Orkut. And it is an unavoidable truth.

It seams as much you run towards the sucess, it runs away from you! As soon you get busy with something else and forgets about being "special", it knocks at your door!

Amazing life, really amazing. Maybe to be a sucess is not that important, anyway. We just have to be happy, with happy people around us!

Trying to be good does not mean you are good!

"Trying" is not necessarily the answer for all questions. After trying there is a long road to reach sucess.

I feel people trying like desperately to do "something" to get results. Any results. And then, after trying to get it, they just abandon the projects. No following steps, no checking rules, no continuing developing.

And sudden forgetness. 

While we are trying to reach a mark, we struggle against all obstacles, agains bad energy, and we should fight against lazyness, amateurish attitude, and lack of focus.

In Kuwait people are still "trying" to do something, it doesn't mean they are effectively doing anything.  They should not rest until get it, whatever it is!

I still have to tune my expectations to that ones of my colleges'. My own expectations are very high! I always push myself to the maximum! It seams it will be misused by the "trying people"... Again full power for blowing a candle!!!

What I see is...

Enjoying cold weather at the Golf.

Beauty, different from what I am used to. But definitely beauty.

Since first day I appreciate the Sun, the Mosques shadows, the Gulf and its secrets...

The amazing miscelaneous of the streets and dressing habits of this Babel TOWER.

The constrasts of believes and cultures makes me stop to observe it!

Yes, we live in the Era of acceptance of differences. And this is the place to practice it!

Jogging in the same side walk we have "hijabs", ladies covered, children from many nacionalities, americans enjoying the sun heat, teen agers talking desperately on the mobiles, ladies in full make up at 4pm,  loud black music, also loud arabic music, people watching other people, people watching the Sea, and a brazilian amuzed with this garden of variety!

Most of my feelings come from the patterns I have, I am very aware of it. And it is the curious and interesting aspect of being an observer here. The antagonism that happens when we face openly the differences makes us better people. Acceptance heal us from inside. 

Of course it is  much easier blam

e the unconfortable feelings we have on other people nacionalities.

'Their food smells!' (as ours don't!)

'Funny accent!'(oh, nobody has accent...)

'They are all thieves!'(it doesn't matter your education, if you are born in certain country, you steal!)

And many other special expressions about other people's aspects...

Sad.

We miss the oportunity of  getting in touch with real people and their histories.

It is precious and should not be neglected!

As I walk among the people, I feel the waste of time of pre jugdmenting others.

Maybe we could find a good soul among the other soccer team fan club, couldn't we?

Is it so impossible to believe?

What is so different anyway? Earth will eat us all at the end.

Don't waste your time, I don't waste mine. 

And life is showing me people are all the same, anywhere, anytime, any religion.

We are all running towards the same direction, aren't we? 

Towards GOD?

So.... Better do it together.
