Happy New Year!
















I spent my new year's eve again at Copacabana beach watching the fireworks. I've done that almost my whole life, with a few exceptions. Well, I lived there, and now still live very close, so it's been the obvious choice. I heard this year they hired specialists from Disney to coordinate the fireworks with the music. For me, it was amazing like always :) I just LOVE the shiny colors everywhere!

This time there were my sister with the kids and my brother in law, and our dear friends that now live in Germany, Fabiano, Katrin, and their kids Fiona and Valentina. She is almost the same age of my Valentina, who helped me taking a firework foot pic holding my leg up high :))

My resolutions for 2010 include finding a job that I love, learning how to play the guitar, making more friends, writing, laughing more, keep singing, practicing more yoga, travel more and, of course, keep walking :) No matter what.

Happy 2010!

I won't settle for anything less than butterflies


one of my favorite songs... PRESS PLAY Time of your life - Green Day


The Butterfly Effect is the "notion of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory; small variations of the initial condition of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system", according to Wikipedia. The expression refers to the title of a paper written by Edward Lorenz in 1972 entitled "Does the Flap of a Butterfly’s Wings in Brazil set off a Tornado in Texas?"

Hum... so, should a butterfly be worried everytime it flies?


I'm happy the chaos in my life brought me to where I am now...

...and butterflies in my stomach keep flapping their wings and beginning unpredicted events :)

Original Sin or Invitation or the first step 2


This first started with me trying to make a background for an invitation for a very small dinner party that I will have next friday to celebrate my birthday...


...my bedroom wallpaper, some images I like... and somehow I ended up with this.

Lilli is Barbie's mom. She was a "post-war, sassy and ambitious and had no reservations talking about sex. As she had her own job she earned her own money as a secretary but wasn't above hanging out with rich men". I guess what they mean is that she was a whore... How sweet! I was really surprised when I found out. Not to mention the name thing, it was through Barbie that I could be the woman I wanted to be for many years, as I grew up.

Anyways, it's always about how you choose to look at things - she was a pretty chic lady with fabulous dresses and a very strong personality. "I could do without balding old men but my budget couldn't!", "As you were angry when I was late this morning I will leave the office at five p.m. sharp!", "Which piece do you want me to take off?" (to a policeman who told her that two-piece-swimsuits were banned), "The sunrise is so beautiful that I always stay late at the nightclub to see it!". These were some of her pearls, on the comic book. Ah, the dolls was inspired by a comic caracter. Well, despite of the fact she slept with man for money, she was a woman ahead of her time, and with a very sharp tongue, who knew exactly what she needed and did what she had to do to get it.

Lilith was Adam's first wife. She was made of the same substance that he was made of. She left Adam because of a fight about gender equality. She is accused of being the snake that made Eve eat the apple. Legend says that her kids became demons. She is often described as a demon herself, and considered to be a bearer of disease, illness, and death. Supousely she is also the incarnation of lust, causing men to be led astray.

Poor Lilies. They can't have an opinion...

As you judge so you will be judged.

cave woman



Cave at Parque Lage with stalactites and stalagmites. It was kind of dark inside, and I hate the flash from automatic cameras, so... it's a little blurry... but I like it :) I don't think the focus is that important anyways... many perfect things in life happen out of focus...

color test 2

experimenting with camera settings...


I was just laying on yhe floor, playing with the cat, looked up and liked the composition. So since I hate flash light from automatic cameras, I started playing with the different camera settings to try to capture a good light for that picture.
They are all different pictures, they are all the pictures I took and I swear I didn't plan this color scheme.
It's lovely how sometimes we somehow make perfect things, only by just listening to ourselves and not thinking much, just doing it, whatever it is.

I LOVE sincronicity.
