It is so wonderful to have the summer coming!!!! The sun was shining the whole day...and I was..inside the schools' building doing the BEC (Business English Certificate) Vantage exam. It was very difficult!! I hope I'll pass it..'cause it was really expensive..hehe..and it will be my grade for english...we didn't do any other exams. in the afternoon we had the speaking part.

I had lunch with Steffi at Migros Restaurant...we had a great salad...wow...it was so warm!!! surely 30 degrees in the shade :-) After the speaking part I went outside and read a little bit for myself...forgetting about school and exams coming up.
I stayed there for about 15min and the sun was covered by dark clouds...a warm wind...and well...now, one hour later, it's very dark outside but it isn't raining yet.

On May 26th I read a very interesting article about suicide rates in the world. Switzerland is at the 6th place...after Lituania, Russia, Hungary, Japan and Austria. Most men kill themselves with a gun and most women with poison. But in general, the suicide rates are higher by men...the swiss government is trying to make something to change that...there's even a organisation: "Initiative zur Praevention von Suizid in der Schweiz". Do u know how it looks like in other countries? Are there organisations? or are there people that do something against it?

Hope u r not shocked!! I just thought it was really interesting :-)
Oh and take a look at my pictures...I've been updating it a lot!!!
take care and sending u sunshine + love from here!

Obs: hmmm...I love thunderstorms...it reminds me of Brazil...of my sweet home and mostly of my father who loves to watch the dark clouds coming :-)

You are the color pink. As a beautiful and sweet
human, you are everybody's favorite person.
Healthy and energetic, you're often seen
spreading the happines. As an unusually
charming and sweet person, you're always ready
to comfort people who are down. You sympathize
with everyone, but not always yourself. Aside
from that, you are light-hearted and cheery.
And you make it your duty to make every cloud
have

What color are you? (Amazingly detailed & accurate--with pics!)

"Long, long time ago..." hehe..do u know this song?

Well..I haven't written for a big while now...but I thought I should write something small for Valentine's Day...Hope u r all doing fine..and I wonder if u still read my adventures..hihi..

Today I went with my classe to Pospers, is a very small city somewhere near here...up in the mountains.It's snowy, windy and cold day...but I had fun anyway:-)Daniela, from my class, she also loves to have fun, so we made angels on the snow and played like little kids:-)it was great! Now I'm back home...I just ate my lunch and soon I have to go to English classes.

Oh, and before u go, just read this lyric...u have probably already heard this song:

My Funny Valentine
- Frank Sinatra -

My funny valentine, sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, unphotographable
But you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's day

Lots of love to all of you!!

sleigh adventure

6.01.05 - Dreikönigstag (3 Kings day)

In the evening we went with the people of the studentenschaft(students organisation in the university) to the mountains...we were in 2 big buses.We had apperitive in a real iglu and afterwards we ate cheese fondue at the restaurant. At 21:45, Katja (from my class) and I started going down the 11km road.pfff...that`s toooo much...but we had sooo much fun!!!mY muscles still hurt...but we enjoyed it!The sky was full of stars and we even saw a comet...so I made one more wish for this year.We had about 1:30hours to get down...so u can imagine how we were tired afterwards...such a long time, 2 women sitting on a sleigh and taking care not to fall because of the ice on the road:-)I´m not very inspired to write this...but we really had fun!and down there we had to wait about 1hour until all the others came...complaining they were tired and that it wasn`t very nice how everyone wanted to get down at the same time...many had accidents...but not veeery serious...well...the problem was not only that they wanted to get down at the same time, but also, because most of them were drunk:-)

Now it`s saturday and I`m still kind of tired and my muscles r hurting...I`m talking with someone on orkut, washing my bed clothes and studying economics.Now I´ll study something else...take care and hey..leave me a note at my guestmap or guestbook:-)
kisses

ohhh Gosh...what is going on with the world...I really felt sad and I even cried when I read about the earthquake and tsunamis in south Asia...Exactly one day after Xmas, that`s also very hard!!!And I just read that exactly one year ago, also on the 26th, Israel lost 35000 people in an earthquake. I just wonder how this world is going to be in some years...
hehe..I just got a call from Lucas, he and Cacki want to go out, to a bar or smthg today...but I`m not really in the mood for that...:-)

It was so great on Xmas...my dad called me and the whole family shouted on the background...it was very cute, but I would love to be with them!!!How was ur Xmas?

I`m not sure when I`m going to write here again, but I wish u all a very good New Year Party and a better Year:-)!!! By the way, whoever is on the beach...please enjoy it for me 2!

I`m in Adliswil now...and I`m gonna start my study marathon tomorrow...hehe...
I woke up today...opened my window and...surprise!!!everything was white...wonderfull:-)but it wasn`t that wonderfull to walk with my bagpack...it began to rain and the snow transformed itself into that awfull "platsch,platsch"...

2004-12-06T10:02:00.000+01:00

I had a week like all the others...with problems on writing the essay that we have to hand in this week...and on Thursday I went dancing salsa again and afterwards to a bar where we also played dards:-)(no idea how to spell it)... Friday afternoon, from 13 - 18 o`clock we corrected our essay and than we ate pasta together. On Saturday afternoon we met again to correct the rest. In the evening I went to ZH...and now begins the story:-)

Lost in ZH!!!

I let my things at Jacquelines place and went with the bus to Carinas home. Lucas was there already and we ate the great lasagne that Cacki cooked!It was a very nice evening but at 24:30 Lucas and me took the bus to go home...back to the city.
I should have gone out with Lucas, at Bucheggplatz, but I thought that the bus would go to Nordstr. where I could walk to Jacq.s house. I was wrong...it went to Hardplatz...don`t ask me where that is...I still have no idea!!!I went to the bus driver and asked him for directions...he just sad "you have to go out, I`m going to the garage"...hmmm...ok...there was also an english speaking couple that wanted to go to the Langstrasse (where all the brazilian women are...if u know what I mean)...we decided to go somewhere and ask..there was a Bar, or restaurant, no idea what it was...so I went in and...hmmm...only weird rockers, with leather clothes...haha...ok...I asked..and they gave us some directions...so I decided to go walking until Jacquelines house...and I think the couple took a taxi.
well, first I followed the way to Escher-Wyss-Platz...than I thought I should go to the centre of the city...`cause from there I would know where I was...it was 1o`clock in the morning...cold...and I was walking alone in dark and weird streets...aaaaahhh..no...go back to where the people are..that`s what I did...until I got to a Cinemax..I knew I wasn`t far from home...but no idea where exactly...so I decided to call Jacqueline...normally she doesn`t let her celphone on...but she did!!!! My hero!!!! So she helped me get back home...but...before I got home I also got into a "tram"...thinking it would go to the right direction...wrong again!! I went to the "tram" garage...hehe...it was soooo funny...I was all alone in that garage...wanted to go out...looked behind me and the doors were closing...than I screamed, to see if there was someone who would hear me. The Tram driver was still there and there was another way out....uuffff....ok...than I walked home and got there around 2 o`clock in the morning...I was sooo excited that I couldn`t sleep...hehe...but it was a great adventure:-)thank u Jacqueline!!!!

Thank got I was in ZH and not in SP:-)

On Sunday morning I went to the city...`cause Xmas is coming and all the stores were open...wow...so many people walking in the Bahnhofstrasse!!!
I finally bought the trousers I needed and a black sweater too...ohhh...and I "visited" the new Zara store that was opened 2 weeks ago.
At 14hs I met Carina and Laura at the mainstation...we walked a little in the ZH Xmas market and at 14:38 we took the train to Einsiedeln to see the famous Einsiedeln Xmas market...it was very nice...but so cold...the first thing we did was to drink a hot wine (Glühwein) :-) It was really a great day!!! we also went to the famous church and listened a little to a concert...but it wasn`t that intusiastic...than I went home...ohhh..and yesterday evening I also met a friend, he`s working in the restaurant very near from my place. He`s the portuguese guy I met when I went to Brazil last time.

Now it`s monday...and I should be in class having geography...but the teacher has no material to give us, so he just showed us a movie about a family in the alps..it`s interesting..ok, but I could be at home reading the book...so that`s what I`m going to do now...go home and read the book...study accounting and Right...but I had to write my ZH adventure for u guys...

XOXOXO

It's such a sunny day!!!! But soo cold:-) 0 degrees.

On Friday I went ice skating with 2guys + 1girl from the house I live in.It was so funny...it began to snow really hard...so romantic and just wonderful!Well, I have to say that my butt was hurt, 'cause I fell 2times on the hard floor, but I got up and continued:-)My poor toes were freezing!

Shanti came to visit me here in Chur yesterday. We had a great time!We enjoyed the good weather and in the afternoon when it began to snow, we enjoyed my warm, small but cozy room:-)

Today I woke up and saw that the sky is totally blue.. but I have to write an essay...I think I'll go outside, somewhere in the sun and write a little:-)

Have a great day!!
Oh, and I put some new pics on shibiru.multiply.com

Do you know this song? It's very nice...it's playing everywhere here in Europe now...and it's Salsa:-)

Obsession (by Aventura)

Son las 5 de la manana y yo no e dormido nada

Pensando en tu bellesa y loco voy a pararel

imsomnio es mi castigo

Tu amor sera mi alivio

Y Hasta que no seas mia no vivire en pas

Y conosi tu novio pequeo y no hermoso

Y se que no te quiere por su forma de hablar

ademas tu no lo amas porque no da la talla

no sabe complaserte como lo haria yo

Pero tendrr paciensia porque no es competencia

Por eso no hay motivos para yo respetarlo

Noo, no es amor,

lo que tu sientes se llama obsession,

una illusion, en tu pensamiento,

que te hace hacer cosas,

asi funciona el corazon

(etc...)

Wacek (Tapis cousin) and me. He's has a great life story...We'll soon put it online.

2004-05-31T13:21:00.000+02:00

Zürich is crying and saying goodbye to my grandmother and my cousin that were here with me, enjoying this sunny weekend.

It was a really great weekend!!!My grandmother (Tapi) came from Warsovia, Poland on the 28th and I got her at the airport.Tuco, my cousin, was also suposed to get here at 18o`clock...but...well...I`m not sure if all of you know the TAP airlines...anyway...they always delay and well...his flight from Lisbon to Zürich was cancelled. So, he slept one more night in Portugal, while Tapi and me had our first traditional polish dinner...with various types of meat and champignons.The afternoon was great...so we could enjoy the last hours of the day at the sunny balcony. Saturday morning we took the train to Genebra (a 3 hours trip). Sibyl Roessingh (a good friend from the family) got us at the train station and took us home.We saw all the important buildings in Genebra...hehe...sooo funny...the american consul building is totally surrounded by army guys with big guns...security...electric things (cerca eletrica)..haha...crazy...too bad that I couldn`t take a picture:-) Anyway, we got to Sibyls` house and some hours later Tuco arrived with a rented car. We had a great lunch together and went for a tour in Genebra...it`s such a beautiful city!!!
Afterwards, we met went to Wacek Micutas house (Tapis` cousin)...we met him + Jacek (his son)+ Marc & Yann(grandchildren) + Roslyn (Jaceks wife) and a really nice polish friend from the family who takes care of Wacek...(he`s 86 years old)...she cooked a very good polish dinner for all of us. We had a really great time together...talking about the familys` history...genealogic tree...etc, at the end, the people who could speak polish stayed at Wacek and the young people including Roslyn went to Jaceks` house...it`s a little outside the city center...but uau..really nice!!! We slept there and in the next morning travelled back to Zürich...a great bed & breakfast:-)
In Zürich, we had lunch with Ann(Sibyls` sister), Doris(their mother) Roessingh and Shanti...

In the afternoon, Tapi went home to take a rest, while Tuco and I walked a little in the city...seeing the lake...and river...talking a lot and having fun together. We even enjoyed the nice sunset near the lake, with Tapi.

The weekend is over and Tapi + Tuco are in the plane...I`m not having a good day...the weather isn`t helping:-)

hope to hear from u soon:-)

Ah, e Gustavo, valeu por comentar sempre alguma coisinha:-)

2004-05-26T12:03:00.000+02:00

I'm just testing this...there's a new way to send my pictures to my blog:-)

2004-05-21T21:42:00.000+02:00

Hmmm...I'm drinking a great and hot erva cidreira tea here...and jsut preparing myself to write something interesting to you.

First of all:I'm not writing so much anymore, 'cause I'm not really sure of some still reads this blog and well, sometimes, I just don't have the motivation to write.
At least, I'm posting a lot of pictures on the 3 different sites for photos...there r some nice pics of the Braunwald (where I'm gonna work for 2-3 months), from the hours that my grandma was here and some other nice pics.
Ohhh God, I hate these annoying pop-ups...I have 2 pop-up stoppers, but it looks like they aren't good enough...grrrrrr

I went to Chur for on day and visited 3 different appartments...the one I'm intereseted on didn't answer yet, I hope I can live there:-)

On the 19th (Tom's b-day!!!I called him...but he wasn't there:-()I finally went to Glarus, where Braunwald is...it was a long 2 hours trip...but reeeeally worthwhile!!It's a place u just 4get about everything, u keep on listening the birds, looking at the wonderful mountains with snow and it's just....another world! I visited the hotel I'm going to work in..and I really liked it...I didn't take any picture of the place, but u can look at it on the web-site.After having lunch there I went for a walk to explore this new place. Well, the city is a so called "kaf" (in swiss-german, it means a reeeeally small place with nothing...somewhere...nowhere:-))there's only 1mini-market, 1bakery and some other small things...but there r a lot of places + paths to walk with or without children...difficult and easy paths...and all of them wth a great nature!!!
I wasn't wearing sunscreen, that means, I was red....hehe...the sun was shining the whole day and on the mountains, we have to b careful.At +/ 16hs in the afternoon I went to Zuerich.

On Thursday my grandma got there...and stayed a few hours with us...

Today I was at home again...in St.Gallen...I had lunch with Laura, a friend from the university and we had really nice and funny hours 2gether!I saw some of her great paintings and just wondered, why she's n such an university...where everything is so grey...:-)

Well...the pop-ups are multipling here and I'll save the post before I lose everything

2004-05-14T12:53:00.000+02:00

Thanks you girls!!!!Thanks for commenting and remembering me:-)I also miss u a lot!!
These last days have been nice, but full of things to do.
Last weekend my father was here and we had such a nice time together!!!It passed on very fast, but we walked a little here in St. Gallen...he saw the city and a little of its surroundings...but wow...it was so cold...the days he was here were the coldest in 2 weeks...it even snowed on the 5th(one day before his arrival).Saturday, the 8th, we went to Zuerich and met my grand-aunt and uncle. We had lunch together and even saw james bonds' car:-)hihi...we had to take a pic...I'll post it on one of my pic sites:-)

ohhh..and by the way....I finally solved the problem with my digi cam, so I'm posting the easter pics: trip to Bellinzona.

Well, on the 8th, after having a nice time with Rosmarie and Goetz, we went to Jacqueline and Noirins appartment and had a nice dinner together. Sunday was Mother's day:-)so we went to have lunch with Jacqueline, Noirin, Doris (my fathers godmother) and Anne(her daughter) in a nice resaurant, where we could see the city of Zuerich. The sun wasn't shining, that means, the view was cloudy, grey and rainy...

I'm going to study at the "Fachhochschule in Chur"...I hope I can get in...but before, I have to find a job...I hope I can get one in a hotel or tourism agency!!

It's laundry day and I have to clean the apt too...the sun is sometimes shining...I just had lunch...and I'm trying to upload the pics. In all sites there r new pics...if u have some time, u can look at them:-)well...I really don't know what else to write...so...take care...

2004-05-05T14:24:00.000+02:00

Wow...I did a lot of things these last days. On friday I went to Zuerich and met Jacqueline and my sweet little cousin Noirin. When May started I got at 11o'clock in Luzern and went walking through the small market...seeing the city, the famous bridge, the hundreds of swans and I even went to see the famous Lion "Denkmal". At 14 I met Cacki and we talked a lot...something we haven't done for quite a while. Rapha and Michel arrived around 15hs and we went to the "Konzerthaus Schuer", where the Australian Event took place. We worked together with 3 more guys at the barbecue...filling sandwiches with Kangaroo meat or other meats...it was very nice...I liked it:-)we stayed there until 4o'clock in the morning, but we had a lot of breaks too...we also had our Party Time:-)At the end, Rapha and I helped at the "garderobe"...wow, it was a caos, people were drunk, lost their papers...no..it wasn't that bed, but we had a lot to do. We got some "australian-feeling" T-shirts and yeah...it was fun.

On Sunday I arrived around 6 o'clock in the morning at my aunts home and slept 4hs...in the afternoon I could sleep 2more hours:-)
Monday morning I got the train to Brig, in Wallisand after 3hours looking at wonderful mountains and landscapes, I finally got there. The Coordinator from the university got me at the mainstation and took me to the university. I got a room in the "Good night Inn", where 70%of the students live and went back to university to have lunch. It's interesting that you have to speak English all the time; 'cause otherwise, the international students from all around the world(Asia, South America, Mexico, England etc...), wont understand you. I made some new friendships and had a really good time. I visited some classes, like services, intro in hospitality, tourism and marketing. I slept only one night there and came back to St. Gallen, wow, it was a 4hours trip...I was sooo tired:-)
I'll make a list of all the pros and contras of each university and let's see which one is better:-)Tommorow my father arrives here, so he'll help me on the decision.
How are you guys doing?

2004-04-29T16:35:00.000+02:00

Today is my Iminini:-)Most of you might be asking what that is, well, it's the day of my name...:-)
Last Sunday was great, Rapha, Michel, Lucas and I went walking to Rorschach and there we had a great lunch in a restaurant where we had the choice of 32different Roestis:-)I took a very good one, with fruits (Grapes, mango, ananas...).
On Tuesday, Laura Martinez, a girl who studied in the same school where we were, but one year younger came to St. Gallen.we made a tour around the city and the 3 little lakes that we have nearby.She's going to study here in St.Gallen and she'll live in Piters' room:-)
I'm deciding where to study Tourism here in Switzerland, there are a lot of interesting universities, some are private and sooooo expencive, these aren't in my list anymore...hihi...if you are interested in looking and telling me what you think about these 2 universities, here are the websites:

- HTW Chur (Hochschule fuer Technik und Wirtschaft) -> I went there last week, it's pretty nice, there are only 2 classes per year with +/- 30 students.At the end I have the BBA (Bachelor Bussiness Administration) in Tourism & Hospitality Management and some job experience.

- Cesar Ritz (Excellence in International Hotel and Tourism Management Education) -> they said that it's possible to stay there for 2 days as a guest, to see how it is to live in a campus etc. I'll try to do that to see if I'd like to study there, this university is in the French Part of Switzerland.They also have universities in Australia and USA.

I asked for more infos about another University of Tourism,but I have no idea how it is: Academia Engiadina

Well, hope to hear from you someday:-)I'm so happy!!My father is coming next week and my grandmother in end of May:-)

Aiaiai....the weather was great these last days....we had 30degrees in the sun...and now...it's rainny and sad...hmmm...but spring is here and flowers, plants and everything is living again. People are a lot more friendly and smiling. My weekend in Zuerich was very nice...I stayed a little in Adliswil, with Shanti...we went to the "Hallenbad"(indoor swimmingpool), visited Tante Dorli(the sister of my great grandmother...she'll be 93 years old this year:-)), we made white cheese together (with coalho from Brasil), I read a lot on my book "Jamais sans ma fille" (it's famous story about that american woman that maried a guy from Irak and went there, with their daughter for vacations...but he doesn't let them go back to the US...it's wow...an impressive, terrible, sad story...).
On Sunday Shanti and I went to Zuerich and visited the Graubuenden Markt(it's a market of one of CHs "states"). We ate lunch with Jacqueline and when Shanti went back home, we went again to the city and afterwards to a small "goodbye party" from the ex director of TAP, it was, actually a brazilian Party...we stayed a little and went back home to maybe go to the movies. We couldn't decide, so we stayed home watching "10 things I hate about you" on RTL.
Monday was a nice day, in the morning Jacqueline had to work, but in the afternoon, it was "Sechseleuten", it's a tradition of many years ago. People make a big tissue snow man with "polvora" inside and they put fire on it...the faster it explodes, means that the summer will be good/very good ...last year it exploded in 5min...the summer was reaaaaally warm...this time it exploded in 11min...hmm...it's gonna be ok, I guess:-)

Lucas, Michel, Piter and I went to the cinema watch "Lost in Translation"...a cute movie:-) and afterwards, Rapha came to Zuerich to watch the traditional explosion with us.
During the week I kept on searching for universities and different studies...I was feeling ...
On Thursday Rapha and I went with Julia and Sanela to a b-day party from a friend...it was really nice...I met many people from the uni that I haven't seen for a while:-)Before the party I had a streetdance class and met Natascha (Carinas sister)..it was very nice, but the other teacher made better coreografies..
Yesterday was an interesting day, in the morning, I went to the BIZ, where I talked to a woman who will, maybe, help me in my decission (what to study?). I went home and at 14o'clock, Rapha came back from the uni and went together to the infonight at a uni in Chur...it's a very interesting study; Tourism and Hospitality...the classroom is pretty small and it looks like a school, but the diplom is also BBA(Bachelor Business Administration).
Today I'm feeling lazy, tired...hope it'll get better:-)
Michel is coming tonight (haha...it sounded like "Santa is coming tonight")and we'll maybe walk to Rorschach 2morrow....
that's all folks..

2004-04-16T14:24:00.000+02:00

I've done so many things these last days:-)I'll try to write it in a short and interesting way..
Easter in Bellinzona was pretty rainny but I really liked it, we saw the 3 castles and we also went to Locarno on Saturday + Sunday...when the sun finally appeared. We went up to the "Madonna del Sasso" where we had a good view of the Lago Maggiore and the city of Locarno. After our lunch (sandwiches), we went to the "church" to visit it...Brother Nikolaus even asked us for help, on cleaning the candles which people use to make wishes. Afterwards he asked Rapha and me if we wanted to have a cup of tea with him. That's what we did, he even offered us the famous "Colomba di pascua" it's a type of panetone, but for Easter:-)the Hostel we stayed, in Bellinzona, was very nice, we had a nice view of the "castello Montebelo" and we were near the city (18'000)habitants. On Sunday night we came back..oh..it was a long trip, we had to take hmmm...3 or 4 different trains...and Rapha took me home, 'cause we got out in a small city.
Monday was ok...like everyday, but at night, I was invited by Rapha's mother to go have Easter dinner at their house. It was really very nice, we made a kind of grill and for dessert...strawberries:-)I also met Raphas grandmother.
Piter didn't pass the 1.semester too, so he's going back to Brazil in June...that's why we let +/- 3 "articles" in the internet, saying we are looking for someone to live with us...'cause Piters room is already free. On Wednesday the first guy called, he's 21years old and works at the "Radio Aktuell", he's very nice, but we don't want to take the first person that comes here. Today another person will come, a doctor, she's 30years old...let's see...
At 19:11hs I'm going to Zuerich and than to Adliswil, where my grandmother lives...I'm gonna make a little visit to her and than, on suday, I'll visit my aunt:-)
Hope to hear more from u guys!!
see ya

2004-04-08T12:35:00.000+02:00

2004-03-31T21:22:00.000+02:00

Uhh...it's almost a month that I haven't written anything here...hehe...the blog gave a problem so I lost all the www adresses that I had...anyways, if u remember which they were and u guys who have blogs and sites, tell me, 'cause I'll add them again.
Time has passed by and I have been doing a lot. My 2 week holidays ended this monday and yesterday the lessons at the university began.
My trip to Brasil was very nice, I managed to see some people even if everyone was working and/or studying...I also went to many doctors to make a check-up...I'm ok...but not 100%...no one's perfect, right?I'm trying to add some pics to the photo album...let's see if it works:-)I had a lot of rain in Sao Paulo, but in Juquehy and Sao Roque we had some sunny days.
The flight back to Switzerland was late, again, so I had to wait 7 hours in "Lisboa", Portugal. It tok one hour to get out of the airport...Sao Paulo, with its strike is even better than POrtugal:-). Than I took a taxi to the "castelo de sao jorge", it's a wonderful place, where I could have a good look at the entire city, 'cause it's on top of a hill...I walked back, passing through nice neighbourhoods until I got to the center of the city...I had lunch and went back to the airport. Here, Rapha was waiting for me in the airport and we met Lucas in the train, it was difficult to carry all the luggage but the boys were a grat help!!I haven't opened the box of my bike yet...let's see how it got here...hehe...tomorrow I'll have more time, 'cause I only have a french lesson.
Yesterday I got a great visit here in St. Gallen, from my godmother, Vivi and the girlfriend of her eldest son, Andressa...it was a beautiful day and we walked a little in the city and I showed them where I live, but the time passed by fast and I had to go to the university to have a math lesson.
sorry for writing so little, but I have to go and take a shower....it's not allowed to take showers after 22o'clock...hehe..and I have to sleep too...the first day in the university was so difficult...I was almost sleeping during the classes...now, I'm much better:-)

2004-03-08T13:06:00.000+01:00

I don't have much to talk about, so I'll post another result of a test:-)ohh..the sun is shining again:-)

What Sound Are You?

Rain: You are the sound of rain. You have two important sides. There is your strong, powerful side and your calm, gentle side. Both are very important. Rain also reflects a bit of darkness in your personality. It isn't bad, just shows that along with the good, you also can see bad, which can come in handy.

2004-03-03T16:20:00.000+01:00

ohh..I couldn't imagine anything better...ok..I could...but this is really nice...I'm sitting on my window...with the laptop on my lap(hey...that's why it's named like that:-)) and correcting an essay that my sister wrote in German. In the morning I had my Law exam...it was ok..I guess...I wasn't really scared...and not at all nervous...but well...now let's see the results:-)Rapha and I went a little to the city...it's such a wonderful day!! The sun is shining and the sky is perfectly blue!We walked a lot, searched a little for a gift...and than we had to go home...I had...I still have to study management for tomorrow...Rapha doesn't have to...he's smart...hehe...he really is...he studied everything in these weeks...I did that too...but I still have to review a lot:-)Here, at home, LUcas, Piter and I did the famous "frang au Luek"hehe...it's just chicken with some mostard, salt and erbs:-)we ate with rice and curry Sauce(the ones u can buy ready in the supermarket:-))...I'm answering some emails now and brrr...it's gettin cold here at the window:-)People r passing by down here...talking a walk...with their children and dogs...oh...there r a lot of couples too:-)kids playing with the remaining snow...women comiong back of the supermarkets...and every hour...maybe two hours...a car passes by...Piter is listening to Mixfm and they r looking at an airline site that was just invented in USA...where the stewardesses r stripers...hehe...don't they have anything else to do?Some people just don't know where to spend their millions...so many people without homes to live, food or clothes....I hope it might change some day...maybe I can help...studying management...hehe:-)

What kind of kiss are you?
It's a cute test, that's my result:-)As always, these quizzes have nice results...:-)

You have an entrancing kiss - the kind that leaves your partner bedazzled and maybe even feeling he is dreaming. Quite effective; the kiss that never lessens and always blows your partner away like the first time.

Now, in the afternoon, the sun is beginning to shine...but there r too many clouds.I'm a little tired of studying, that's why I'm posting now...hehe...

2004-02-24T19:50:00.000+01:00

how were ur carnival holidays? Here things r very weird...I'll tell u the nice stuff and than the wird ones,ok? As I told u,on friday, I went to the surprise party with Raphas family...it was really nice...they were all very kind to me:-)we had a lot of fun being together and also playing table football:-)afterwards, we ate dinner: raclete and grill...and than a lot of dessert options...I even got a recipe from Raphas mom: Orange Tiramisu..mmm...pretty good! On Saturday night Rapha was really kind and took me to Adliswil(I planned to go with the train), where my grandma lives, 'cause she and my aunt just came from Brasil(I know that in English it should be written with a "z",but I think it's just wrong...hehe...) and brought many things my mom gave me and also many christmas gifts...from my grandma and my aunt(from BR):-)We had a nice dinner together and than I thought it was like the sharing on christmas...the only difference was, that I was the only one getting a lot of nice things: artesanal necklaces and earrings...maracuja bubble gum, bananinha, goiabada, medication etc...I tried to help Shanti (my grandma) with problems on the pc...it didn't solve anything...:-)On Sunday we went to Zuerich, to Jacqueline's home and she also gave me some things, even a cute "havaiana" with hearts containing the BR flag. After eating "paes de queijo" I went back to St. Gallen.
Yesterday, in the afternoon we had a nice visit from Claudia and Renato (her b-friend), Rapha and Lucas also came. they gave us so pretty and creativ christmas gifts: pillows for the small "living room" and a carpet for our corridor.It was snowing when we went to eat at the Migros Restaurant. We bought a 1000pieces puzzle (a beach pic) + another game.Eating our desserts: tiramissu ice cream and after, vanilla ice cream with "Himbeeren" we started the puzzle. Rapha had to go home and Lucas also...so we, Clau, Renny and I stayed infront of the puzzle for +/- 4hours...and after dinner a little more...hehe...we had more than 1/2.
Today we ate breakfast, also doing the puzzle...after that, they went home and now I have to finish it by myself...the worst part...the blue heaven...hehe...I studied for one hour and had lunch...after that my stomach began to hurt soooo much...u can't imagine it...I never felt that before...it was an intensive and weird ache...I hope it's nothing serious...I thought of going to a hospital here, but I couldn't walk very well 'cause it was hurting so much, so I stayed the entire afternoon, until now(20hs) in bed, with a pillow on my tummy.It's so stupid, 'cause I wanted to study so much today...anyway...I'll try to study now that I'm better...and I'm afraid of eating dinner, 'cause I might have that ache again...and I reeeeally don't want that...otherwise, I wont sleep at night...hehe...I hope u'll never have to feel that:-)and hope u r all allright...if u like pictures, u should visit Pedros blog...there he has a link to a nice web site where digital cam owners post many wonderful pics...and he made a great trip in the north of Brasil and took amazing pictures:-)ohh...I'd love to go there some day=)
so good night,good afternoon or morning,no idea when u'r reading this:-)

2004-02-15T11:35:00.000+01:00

Hey:-)I actually wanted to post yesterday, on Valentine's day, but I didn't have the time for it...'cause I did so many things. Friday Carina, Rapha and I went to a party that Natascha was organizing in the university where she's studying (also in SG). I wasn't feeling good so Rapha and I went home +/- 24hs, on Valentine's day!!
Yesterday we went to a free time and holidays exposition....uau...it was really nice...and big, but, unfortunately, we saw only the stands of European countries, we ate cheese, bread and even candies that they were giving...and of course, we also subscribed for many free trips, language courses, nights in wellness centres etc...let's see if we win something. I already won 200Fr. for a wall street english course...hehe...:-)afterwards we cooked together, we made mexican food..hehe..not so difficult, we bought the tortillas and did the fill in with meet,tomato and so...it was really good, the only thing that missed was guacamole...'cause it'd be pretty expensive to do it (Avocados r expensive) and we didn't know where we could find ready. Wow...we ate so much...hihi...we couldn't even get to the dessert...yeah, that was my Valentine's day, and how about yours? I just read the post of Claudia in her blog, she was complaining about this day, 'cause it's a way to get money, 'cause everyone buys gifts or cards...but, I have to tell u something about that...have u ever stopped and think about what this day is?It wasn't always celebrated the way we do today. In reallity, it wasn't made up to gain money, it has a history behind it...have u never asked yourselves who Saint Valentine was? I searched for it in Internet and found a very interesting and different history, or better said, a legend, because there are no exact sources. The Valentine's day originated in the 5th century Rome. For 800 years romans had a pagan celebration commemorating young men's rite of passage to the god Lupercus. : The celebration featured a lottery in which young men would draw the names of teenage girls from a box. The girl assigned to each young man in that manner would be his sexual companion during the remaining year. In an effort to do away with the pagan festival, Pope Gelasius ordered a slight change in the lottery. Instead of the names of young women, the box would contain the names of saints. Both men and women were allowed to draw from the box, and the game was to emulate the ways of the saint they drew during the rest of the year. Instead of the pagan god Lupercus, the Church looked for a suitable patron saint of love to take his place. They found an appropriate choice in Valentine, who, in AD 270 had been beheaded by Emperor Claudius. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with his jailors daughter.Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. The first Valentine card grew out of this practice. The first true Valentine card was sent in 1415 by Charles, duke of Orleans, to his wife. He was imprisoned in the Tower of London at the time. Cupid, another symbol of the holiday, became associated with it because he was the son of Venus, the Roman god of love and beauty.
You have also to remember, that Valentine's day is not only a boy-/girfriend, but also a friends and family day...it's not like june 12th, that we celebrate only in Brazil...this day was really made so that the market income would grow...:-)Well...this day is past again and I have to go back studying...:-)hope u'll have a great sunday and tomorrow a good week.

Ok, I think I should write something again:-)one week has passed...wow...sorry...
mmmmm...last week I got the theme for a big essay we will have to hand in, in may...and, as usual, I had bad luck. First, we had to "tell" the uni the priority of the themes...I chose administration as the first one, economics the second and as the last one, 'cause I don't like it: Right. And guess what I got.........yeah....RIGHT!!grrr....I have to write about "Kollektivgesellschaft" don't ask me how that's called in any other language, 'cause I have nooo idea!!ok, it's a little, but just a little interesting:-)I had a wonderful dinner at Raphas home on the 4th...his mother cooked...veeeery nice!!:-)
On saturday we had the accounting exam...uhhh..I studied the wrong things...hehe...at least I can do the exam again...in may:-)
I just talked to Clau for 2 hours on the phone....hehe...lots of things to talk about!!and now I'm pretty tired...and can't really talk about what I did or din't do last week...:-)
Tomorrow I'll meet Rapha in the afternoon and we'll probably go to the Constance Lake...we hope the weather will be good...
Last week we had a lot of snow, but the sun appeared again...and..it's a vicious cycle...the weather is getting crazy...snow, cold, warm...and so on.
Good night..sleep tight...

2004-02-02T15:18:00.000+01:00

Hello:-)wow...I haven't written for a long while...well...the only reason, is 'cause I thought u guys would vote and tell me what u think about the subject..some of u did, thanks:-)some didn't, probably u r all in vacations and can't stop by to say hello...hihi...thank u Marcinha!!to com saudades!!
Let's see what I've done...the last week was really nice it was snowing all the time, here in the city it came to 30cm. of snow and on a hill nearby the new snow was 1 meter deep...I can't imagine how much it snowed on the mountains:-)But, unfortunately, the last 2-3 days it became "hot" and now, there's only a little dirty snow on the street's sides.
I went to bodyattack again...oh..how I missed it, it's great to do sport again!!!
hihi, a little disaster happened, my shelves, that were in my room...of suuuch a good quality, fell...hehe...I just came back from a shower and suddenly...boooom...:-)all my books and CDs were on the floor!!What now?I decided to buy a better one, maybe in IKEA, a great store!!!Too bad it doesn't have one in Brazil:-(anyway...I went there on saturday, with Rapha and Berit, a friend from the uni:-)it was really nice!!I found good and cheap shelves, they r surely better than the others + prettier:-)I'll try to put a picture from them:-)mmm...what else have I done...oh, we hand in the essay already and 2morrow we'll get another theme for the "Wissenschaftliche Arbeit"(=a big essay, hehe)
Yesterday I was studying accounting, when I jsut got very skeepy and tried to sleep...Lucas came into my room and gave the good idea of going for a walk somewhere we haven't been yet. The weather was great...the sun was shining...and it was +/- 8 degrees, we looked at the map of SG and saw a river surounded by I forest a little outside from the city, so we decided to go there. Our walk that was supposed to be short, was actually long: +/- 2 hours...but very beautiful!!!the river has almost no water,but there's a path that goes through many different bridges: very interesting for ingenieurs:-)(no idea how I should write that:-))We were both exausted and as we got to the city center, we decided to eat something small at the MacDonalds.
today I'll go to bodyattack again, with julia, also from the uni, a good friend from Berit:-)we'll try to see if there's time, in the 2. semester to do streetdance:-)
Well...I'm gonna stop here, congratulations for the people or person who could read until here...wow...I wrote too much!!!

2004-01-23T17:55:00.000+01:00

The majority of u know Brian Adams, don't u? I hope u like it...hehe..if u don't...well...the blog is mine right?:o)
well...I'd like to ask u something, just to make this blog a little more interactive too:-)what do u guys think about gen technologie?do u agree with it or disagree?I'd really like to hear what u think! We had a case study on management class about it...and I wondered about what people think about it.Maybe some of u don't know much about it,but I'm sure u can search on the internet and find some nice infos about that:-)it's a pretty interesting and t's important for us to think about it, because it concerns our future, the wolds future. Scientists are studying how they can change plants, foods etc. gens...what is a gene? well...how can I easily explain that...mmm...for those who don't know what it is: every living organism has it and it's a combination of information in ur body that results for example on blue, brown or black eyes...on blond,brown, red or black hair:-)what they want to do is to change this combination for example in watermelons, so that it'll be a big red fruit without seeds...or, what they also think about doing is to make chickens without feathers(wow!can u imagine that?). These changes on living beings are ment to help our lifes. Another example is changing plants, so that they don't need to be sprayed by chemicals, they'll have an intern "insecticide"...I would really like to hear what u think about it,ok?What I just told isn't everything...there are many pros and contras:o)I'll let this post for some days so that u can comment and think about it, afterwards I'll tell what I think, ok?hehe..
I have to go back writing on my essay:-):o)bye!

2004-01-20T21:09:00.000+01:00

At every minute the weather is changing...it's impressive...I look outside of the window right now, it's snowing...in a few minutes, I'm pretty sure it'll be raining, or snowing more or just stopped...today, the whole day, was like this...it's weird....and we always have to carry an umbrella...so...whenever I feel sad, I listen to Bob Marley and everything comes to life again....hehe...kidding...but really...this music remembers me how it's great to be on a beach, with sun and bikini:-)I miss it even more, but than, I don't feel cold and angry with this stupid weather, I look at the good side of everything...:-)I like snow, I like rain...ok...it's stupid to walk around holding on the garden fences not to fall down on the icy and slippery floor..but, somehow, it's funny...and I always have to laugh(Piter and Lucas make fun of me...hehe...but in a good way):-)
I'm not stressed,but I have to write a big essay...and I'm actually not inspired...but I'll make it!!!That's what I've done last weekend...but I had a little bit of leisure too...of course:-)
I got some nice pictures of my family...pictures of vacations at the beach...ahhhh...I wanna go there!!!hehe
About the comments..it's boring that it's not done yet...but I'm trying to solve the problem...but hey,don't hesitate to click on that little moving white animal on the left...where it's written "MAIL"...hehe...kidding...Soon everything will be back again:-)
Well...I have to do some things here...oh, and at Funny Stuff I added a site that my father send to me...it's pretty interesting:-)Have fun!!and remember Carpe Diem!!!!

2004-01-17T13:20:00.000+01:00

Wow...5 days went by and I haven't written a single word...sorry...I'm pretty much concerned about the uni...the works that have to be written and so on...I'm now doing a little pause after lunch...'cause I can't study very well with my full stomach:-)
I guess u saw that the comments desappeared...well..I just discovered that the problem is that blogspeak,the server for the comments, has failed, so, u guys who have comments on this site, go to Haloscan...u have to register and they get all ur comments that were posted before, again...but it takes a while, because of the high number of people doing this.So my blog will continue having no comments, but only for a while...don't worry:o)
Today it was snowing...but now it's raining again and the snow is melting away:-(. Hope u'll have a great week-end!! I had classes this morning...and now, I'll work on my history essay...so...see ya!!

Hi:-)how were ur weekends? My wasn't very nice...I spent saturday and sunday, the whole day, in front of the pc; writing on a critical literature report. We got a text and had to make a summary+a critic:-).On sunday night I made a great and long break...going out with Rapha:-)It was such a windy night...and can u imagine? it's January, right?It should be winter, but at 1 o'clock in the morning it was 10+degrees!!!that's hot for these times of year:-)It's so weird: I'm getting used to the cold...it's gonna be funny when I go back to BR:-)
Today, monday; I didn't do much for university...I had to buy food and still have to clean the bathroom + my room..hehe...I also got an email from Catharina, a very good friend in BR..with whom I haven't talked for a long while:-)and hey, guys, thanks for so many comments!!!!the maximum 'til today!!
I guess u saw that I'm not really inspired to write...so I'll end up here...:-)

2004-01-09T21:46:00.000+01:00

I'm listening to Mixfma very good brazilian radio...here in CH the Radios aren't as good as in BR:-)It's really true,but I'm getting used to the music that they play here...it's not so bad:-)
I had a nice day today...in the uni everything went ok...oh...I forgot to tell u, yesterday I had french class and got my "simulation"test back...I got an average mark...that's really good, 'cause I didn't study at all to do that:-)I just have to review the 'grammaire':-).
I went to the doctor again, to get the results of the blood exam...good news...I'm all right the only thing is; I have a low quantity of Ferritin (iron...Eisen...ferro...:-)), but it's normal for women and the thing is: I have to eat more meat...
I just heard that it's raining in Sao Paulo, here's it's windy and also raining =o) I miss these brazilian propagandas!
Today I got my first tax declaration papers...ihh...I'll have to see how to do that...hehe...well...I'm pretty tired, so I'll go sleep:o) good night!!!
Music that's playing: "she drives me crazy"

2004-01-08T21:02:00.000+01:00

I haven't done anything really interessting these hours...the only thing is that Rapha came today and he helped us taking a picture for a competition of the best WG(group of different people living together...or something like that) I put the selected picture on "my pictures":-)it's funny...cause it has to be the coolest WG and we decided to take the picture in the bathroom...only to be a little different:-)hope we win...hehe...beside that?I studied...and...studied...hehe...oh...I also ate something:o)
The best way to relax...at my view is to play piano or listening to music..but...I don't have a piano here,so the thing is: listening to music. Piter came from Brazil and bought the new Robie Williams Cd "escapology" it's really nice...here's a lyric of one of the nice songs. Sleep well!!:
Feel

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This rope I've been given
I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand

I just wanna feel
Real love fill the home that I live in
Cos I got too much life
Running thru my veins
Going to waste
I don't wanna die
But I ain't keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I'm preparing to leave her

Scare myself to dead
That's why I keep on running
Before I roll eye
I can see myself coming
I just wanna feel
Real love fill the home that I live in
Cos I got too much life
Running thru my veins
Going to waste
And I need to feel
Real love and the love ever after
I can not get enough

I just wanna feel
Real love fill the home that I live in
I got too much love
Running thru my veins
To go to waste

I just wanna feel
Real love and the love ever after
There's a hole in my soul
You can see it in my face
It's a real big place

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This rope I've been given
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand

2004-01-07T12:51:00.000+01:00

It`s NEW YEAR!!!!!How were ur parties this night?I had a lot of fun here at Jacquelines home...we were 5 adults and 3 kids:-)at midnight we went to the balcony and watched the fireworks...it was very nice!I talked to my family in BR..oh...you surely had fun on the beach!!!I also talked to my grandpa, he called us...I miss him!!!Well, I wish u all a very nice first day of the year and hope it`ll be a great start,middle and of course the end of the year too...I scanned some new pictures...:-)including pictures of my room here in St. Gallen and, as funny as it sounds, there`s also a picture of our refrigerator...u`ll have to guess which is my shelf..it`s not difficult at all.
When I took the following picture, I thought it wouldn`t focus very well...but it actually did...and I think it came out well: This is the city of St. Gallen, with its 72000 habitants and there on the top of the other "hill", is the university.

PS: My aunt, Jacqueline, created a blog:-) it`s on the Friends Links.

2003-12-31T13:47:00.000+01:00

Hey:-) I guess I have to change the subtitle of my blog…I’m not writing every day…hehe..well…I’m sure u understand me. I have been doing a lot of things…and, after all, everyone is traveling around and having fun, u surely didn’t access internet so often:-)
I have a lot to tell…Christmas was very nice…first we went to the church and at home we had dinner at about 21o’clock..pretty late…Noirin, my cousin, was so tired, that we only finished opening the presents on the next day.We always have nice times together. On the 25th at night, I went back to St. Gallen and the next day I read some pages in the management book…oh…there’s sooo much to read…The 27th was different, so many things happened…maybe because it was a long day..I couldn’t sleep the night before ‘cause I got sick and couldn’t even drink water…At 13:30 Rapha and I would meet…he came anyway, brought some medicine that his mother send to me and took care of me…like my mom always did when I was sick…making tea and toasts:-)really cute and sooo nice!He stayed here until I felt better and I actually could sleep really well the next night.Can u imagine that...I was a mess, but now,yes… we’re actually dating…hehe…no comments:-) We passed a lot of time together these last days and they were great! When I was feeling better we went to the cinema and finally watched Nemo:-)…I loved the movie; if u didn’t see it yet, go and buy the ticket or rent the movie!I just read Claudias blog again, she’s in Brazil…I miss Sao Paulo, the caos:-)…here it’s very nice too, but it’s everything so perfect: if u get out of the house 1min. later u might actually miss the bus…then everything turns upside down.
By the way, it’s almost 2 o’clock in the afternoon and it’s snowing since 7o’clock…everything seems so clean, covered with a white sheet. The sky is gray…
Next year we’ll have to pay even more to send letters at the post office…today is the last day of 2003, so I send some letters, to family and so…also thanking those who send me a Christmas card: so sweet:-)hope to hear from u soon!!!
I wish u all a great New Years party!!!!Wow, it’s already 2004!!! The time really goes by so fast…that shows us that we have to enjoy everything, everywhere, all the time! Have a great beginning of the year…but only the beginning…the whole year…I think it’ll be a nice year, full of surprises…:-)Enjoy the holidays!!! Kisses to all of ya!!!

Wow...it`s almost one whole week that I havent written anything..sorry...I actually wrote something on tuesday, but the net was awful and I couldn`t post anything..so I`ll try to make a small summary of everything I have been doing. On Tuesday I came home after the uni and guess what, there was a box from "Laeckerli Huus" for me...from my grandmother, she sent me lots of sweets...really cute!!! And I also got letters from my mom!!:-) The week was ok...on the 16th Lucas, Piter and I went to the "3 amigos" a restaurant here in SG with the Latinos group from the uni...it was really nice...we ate a lot and had fun!! We had many snowball fights, `cause on monday it was snowing a lot!!! Today, Raphas birthday...all the snow is gone, because the sky was blue the whole day and the sun shining!!! We went to a Zoo near from the uni....it`s a wild zoo...I made a picture of the three boys (Lucas, Piter and Rapha) let`s how it looks like...I promise I`ll post it. WE had a nice last week...today, holidays begin!!! We have been doing many things with Rapha together...he even send us a christmas card written "3 amigos". Yesterday I got a christmas card from the Treuer, nice family, that live in USA ..I miss them!! Today I got a letter from my grandparents...I was surprised and loved it!!! I want to send some christmas cards too, but I`d like to send with a new picture of me...and I haven`t got it yet...it will surely get late in ur homes, but hey, I hope u don`t care..hehe...

2003-12-15T11:03:00.000+01:00

Sunday was a typical Sunday…hehe…it was a rainy and cold day...perfect to stay at home in comfortable clothes:-). In the morning I spent 3 hours baking Christmas cookies…wow…it’s difficult to do them alone…Lucas woke up only at 14hs…so I couldn’t listen to any music while I was preparing the cookies…but it was ok!! In the afternoon…at +/- 4:30 Lucas and I went to the city to meat with Carina, Natascha (her sister) and Sabrina (she studied with Natasha in BR). We walked a little and had the idea of going to the cinema. The problem was, we wanted to see the movie in English, so we had to wait till 20:15:-). How would we do that? Of course: eating and drinking. We went to a restaurant named ‘US Mex’ and stayed there for a while. Sabrina and I went to a different movie: Love is all around or maybe it’s called Love actually…while the others went to see Finding Nemo. The movie is sooo cute…u guys have to see it…it’s with Hugh Grant (a cute British guy), some other people and more important of all: Rodrigo Santoro, the gorgeous Brazilian actor:-) and he talks in English…ohh..it’s just a lovely movie and the moto is: In Christmas time u have to tell everyone what u feel about them…it’s time to say the truth:-) The movie is about love, but not only boyfriend and girlfriend love: all types!! After the movie we went home and to bed.
Today I woke up, opened my window, and guess what….yes!!! it was snowing!!! It’s a great feeling!!! I did my laundry and put some things together to have a good last uni week before the Christmas holidays (2 weeks).
By now, that’s it:-) and don’t forget to tell the people u love, how u feel about them!! I’m not going to write down in my blog who I love, ‘cause it’s a little public…all people in the world r able to see what I’m writing…but those people who I love, know it!!! :-)

2003-12-13T22:54:00.000+01:00

Wow, u can’t imagine how the city of Zuerich is wonderful with all those lights and Christmas markets!! U can hear every language u could imagine…and see many different people. The main Christmas Market is placed in the main train station:-) and in the middle of it, Swarovsky, a famous jewelry store placed an enormous trees with crystal and diamond decoration!!! It’s just wonderful!!!
On Friday, I stayed at home with Jacqueline and Noirin. It was very nice…and Noirin is getting so big, she is 6 years old and learning how to read..it’s sooo cute!! She has a good future ahead…she’s so young and can already talk 4 different languages..Wow..Hehe..!!! After dinner I went home…I took the same train Lucas did…so I wasn’t alone in the “trip” home (almost 2 hours). I baked some cookies and also had a great talk with Yuji:-)
Today I had the accounting class and afterwards went home to copy some cookie recipes for my mom, from Raphael’s family books. I met him in the city and after a walk I went back home again. I started baking speculaas… while Lucas was watching America Pie 3 on the computer. It was a good afternoon…ohh…an Ma, u should here Eros Ramazotti to do cookies…he sings really nice Italian songs.
U guys wouldn’t believe and would actually laugh of me if u heard what I’m hearing, while I’m writing this. It’s swiss music: Patent Ochsner…hey…it’s weird in the beginning but the rythmus is ok! If u’re interested, u can search for some songs on Kazaa: Trybguet, Novaember, Ke Schtaern, Umloufbahn. Well…I have to take a shower, ‘cause actually we can’t take a shower after 22hs….hehe..weird:-)

2003-12-11T16:26:00.000+01:00

Hello:-) How r u guys? I think there are many visitors that don`t let their comments or any message, why is that? Just kidding, but it would be nice to hear sometime from u:-)
Well...on Tuesday I went for a walk in the city with Raphael, it was really nice...cold, but nice...and than we even stopped at a small "coffee shop" (not those of Amsterdam, a normal one, where u drink real coffee:-))and I had a cup of tea.
Yesterday morning I studied and in the afternoon Rapha and I went to Constance, a city in Germany. It was a one hour trip...and the day was just great...the sun was always shining, the only thing was that the nearer we got to the constance lake the colder was the wind:-). It`s a cute city...we walked a little in the old city and than finally found the Christmasmarket. Wow, they sell everything there...and of course..."Gluehwein" (=hot wine) and all tipical winter food + drinks. At the end of the market is the "food place" where we ate two crepes...there was even a ship with small stands and a restaurant. At 16o`clock it was beginning to get colder and colder...my feet were freezing...I have to buy woolen socks...so he invited me to make and eat pizza with him and his 2 brothers at home. It was very funny, we ate pizza and cookies that Lukas, his brother, a cook, made, saw pictures, listened to music and talked a lot. He drove me home at +/- 1 o`clock in the morning...it was full moon:-). He has a car that Flavias mother loves, the smart...it`s really small...it looks like one of those small cars boys like to play:-) but the "ceeling" is a window, that doesn`t open so it`s perfect to see the sky:-). I put a link to the smart site, but there are all models, it`s one of the simplest one I`m talking about.
Today I`m in Zuerich...I came with Piter who went to St. Gallen to make his test...and I`m here in Jacquelines computer again. The day today was also very sunny:-) I think, that at night, I`ll go and walk a little in the city, `cause the "Bahnhofstrasse" must be wonderful with its christmas decoration and the "Landesmuseum" too...well...enjoy ur day!!!

2003-12-09T11:14:00.000+01:00

Uhhh...today it`s cold....in the morning, it was -3,5 degrees...brrrr....:-) I`m wearing my winter coat...it`s on the picture from the Saentis...oh yes, sorry, I forgot to tell u who is who in the picture. well...I`m the one at the left side, than comes Lucas, beside him is Rapha and the other two are Jean-Michel and his girlfriend:-) Michel is taking the picture.
I was sooooo nervous yesterday and today, because of the oral test...I was never so nervous..it was weird...I had a terrible night and well...I just had the test...it was awful...I forgot everything!! It was really bad!!! I`m not kidding...I know how it was...and when I was there I startedasking myself what I was doing here...I`m at those days in the month where everything falls apart...I hope I can handel it...and Christmas is coming...also a depressive time for me...I don`t know why...that`s just how it is with me...
the good thing is that the test didn`t give many credits...I will certainly get a bad mark, but at least I`ll only have 1 minus credit...:-) while the other, important tests, give 5 credits....
I`m going home and I asked Rapha to do something with me after his test, so that maybe I`ll be happier, otherwise, I`ll have an extremely depressive day. U were telling me good luck with him...:-) there`s no need...he`s only a very good friend...well...I`ll go home now...its not snowing outside, but it`s everything white, because of the early snow in the morning and because it`s reeeeally cold:-) Kisses to all of ye!!!!

2003-12-07T04:26:00.000+01:00

It's 4 o'clock in the morning we're watching friends on the laptop:-) it was really a nice party we had here at home. No, let's begin from the end of the accounting lesson. Raphael, Jean-Michel + girlfriend, Michel, Lucas and I went with the car of Raphaels mother to the Saentis. The cloudy day turned out to be a sunny and great day!! In 30-50min. we got there and went up:-) 2500m...it was reeeeeally cold and windy, but wonderful. There was a little snow and we could see the mountains and so all around...but all the cities were under the clouds. We stayed there for some hours and went back home. Everyone went to their homes and when we got home, Claudia and Renato (her boyfriend, from Germany)had arrived and they prepared the lunch(16:00), macarroni!! My parents called me, and it was soooo good to talk to them...oh yes, by the way, happy St. Nicolaus day, a little late...at 19o'clock people sarted to arrive, we invited +/- 20 people and it was really nice...I even played a game with some people...I really had fun...and I think the guests too:) now, we're Michel, Renato, Claudia, Christine, Piter, Carina, Lucas and I drinking tea and watching friends..at 4:30..lets see what we are going to do on sunday...sleep...I guess...oh...and at my pictures I uploaded some of Michels camera...on the Saentis...and some from the party:-) I'm soo sleepy...good night!!!

2003-12-05T20:18:00.000+01:00

The temperatures are getting lower and lower:-) but today, the sun appeared and I even got red cheeks. The sun shines were comming directly into my room, on my bed, and that`s where I was studying. I didn`t do much today...I had and am having problems with my pc and studied a little. Michel comes today, from ZH and Lucas jsut went to the movies with him, they will watch the same movie I already saw. I added a link to a friends fotolog; Soninha:-) and in "my pictures" I added some pictures that Raphael sent to me...he was on top of a hill near his village and took these pictures today:-) at the few hours of sun...
Tomorrow will be a busy day...we`re planning to go to the Saentis, after accounting classes and at night we`ll have party at home. At 12 o`clock Claudia is arriving from Germany with her boyfriend and Christine...wow...:-)

2003-12-04T21:05:00.000+01:00

Hi!!!! I just had another great day, I made so many things!!! I woke up at 8:30 and slept very well =o), after breakfast I went to the city, to see how the christmasmarket looked like…it’s small but cute, and than I went to the supermarket. When I got home, at 11o’clock, Lucas was still sleeping and I had already done somany things: -) I studied a lot, read +/- 60 pages from the script and I also did laundry in the afternoon. I talked a little with my father through msn and I also learned a little more about my family, ‘cause he sent me the family tree…it’s so interesting!!! It goes back to the 1500s with all the Russian czars…there’s even Ivan, the first Russian czar!! Those were very different times..hehe…
Now I’m tired and soon I’ll go to sleep under the wonderful moonlight….the moon has a magic light tonight…and like a friend told me: “the moon connects u with the world” example: if u, that are far away from here look at the moon, I might be looking at it too and we’re connected : -) Good Night!!!

2003-12-03T12:43:00.000+01:00

Note: there`s a new link on Funny Stuff:-)

2003-12-03T12:33:00.000+01:00

The people who tried to enter my blog yesterday noticed that it was impossible...well..it was also impossible for me to post a new message, so I wrote what happened on Monday, yesterday and today...
Monday was a great day! The first day from the break…we have two weeks without lessons, that’s wonderful!! I woke up at 8 and at 10:15 Lucas and I went to the city to buy Piter’s birthday present and afterwards we bought some food. At 14o’clock I went to the train station and met with Raphael…we walked a little through the city and I told him what I thought about the “special friendship”. I told him that we didn’t know each other very well and that we should keep friends and maybe something might develop in the future. He understood it completely, he even agreedJ. So we spent the next 2-3 hours together…we walked near our apartment, to see the Constance lake and than, with the car, we went to the “Drei Linden” or “Drei Weiern”…the three little lakes that we have here. At 16o’clock the sun began to go away (!!!!). These three lakes are on top of a hill, that means, we saw the city from the top and with Christmas lightsJ. Raphael brought me home and I went back to the studies. It’s good to, sometimes, forget about the Uni. There’s a warm wind, the Föhn that is passing here…On Tuesday, it was 14,5 degrees at 9:30 in the morning! At night I went to Nataschas home (Carinas sister) and ate pancakes with them and some other girls, `cause it was her birthday. It was a nice way to end up the day:-) I got home at 10 something and went to bed...
Today it`s also a warm day...and very cloudy too:-) We have to hand in our essays!! Lucas went to the Uni, `cause he has his test today, and I`ll only have on the 9th...We`re organising a small get together for the St. Nikolaus day here at home:-) I`ll study a make some summaries now...
Oh, and I wanted to write this song on the beginning of the week...but well..I couldn`t :-) I didn`t know this singer, he sings mostly in italian, but Raphael had only the spanish version...so here it is:

Las Cosas Que Defendere
Artista: Nek

"Hoy me quedo fuera
fuera de tantas confusiones
donde pierde el nombre la verdad
siento como suena
esta armonia al tocar mis cuerdas
y la sensaciones que me dan
todo va en directa
pero no siempre en linea recta
lo que nos espera, que será
valoro la importancia
que significa tu presencia
y el fuego de la ausencia
que me provoca ahora 'nunca cambiarás'

tengo por aqui
muy dentro de mi
agitandose
las cosas que defendere
todas por aqui
la primera de todas tu
ya no hay mas porque
bajo el signo tuyo vivire

Asi me voy notando
Que estoy de nuevo preparado
Para afrontar el mundo junto a ti
Porque los dias van pasando
Y el miedo es cosa del pasado
Porque mis emociones
Continuaran hasta el final diciendo así

tengo por aqui
muy dentro de mi
rebelandose
las cosas que defendere
todas por aqui
la primera de todas tu
ya no hay mas porque
bajo el signo tuyo vivire

y reencuentro en tu mirada
esa respuesta que buscaba para mi

tengo por aqui
muy dentro de mi
rebelandose
las cosas que defendere
todas por aqui
la primera de todas tu
ya no hay más, porque
bajo el signo tuyo viviré..
las cosas que defenderé"

2003-11-30T14:32:00.000+01:00

Saturday was such a weird day…soooo many things happened and my mood was so many times influenced!!! First, I was reeeeeeally angry with Piter, ‘cause he made the stupid joke of hiding an alarm in my room, which began to ring at 6 o’clock in the morning. Ok, it can be funny if it doesn’t happen to u…but it’s not a nice joke…and I thought he already new that I have serious problems falling a sleep and that I mostly do not sleep very well. Anyway, u can imagine how my mood was…it even got worst when I remembered the “conversations” I had on Friday with my ex boyfriend and some other friends…actually I was angry with all men. At least, Lucas didn’t know about the joke, so he was the only guy who I was ok with. The thing that most irritates me is that many male friends begin to like me or just interpret things the wrong way. From 6 till 7 o’clock I was in my bed trying to fall asleep again and than I had to get up because of the accounting lesson. Lucas was really cute he send me a card telling that most boys are stupid etc…really nice, it made me feel better…and than I met Raphael, the friend with whom I went to the cinema watch Master and Commander …and he also made me feel better. He wanted to forget a little about the uni and so did I, so we thought about going to the movies again. The accounting class passed and Lucas and I went home. We cooked a nice lunch, ‘cause Lucas’ grandfather came visit us. It was really nice, but I was somehow still in a little bad mood…thoughts were flying in my headJ. After we finished, they went for a walk, to see the Constance lake from the top of the mountain (it’s a hill), here near our home and I went to the city and met Tibi (Barbara), the 17 year old friend, that works nearby. We had a nice talk and we were going to drink something when we met Lucas at the bus stop. The three of us went to drink something….and she paid. She went home and so did we. So many things happened and it was still 5 o’clock in the afternoon…and wait…there’s much more!J I worked on my written assignment…it must have min. 18000 characters with spaces and max. 20000. Raphael and I were settling the movie night by sms…at 20:15 we met. Lucas and Carina went to the Mac Donalds. The movie is called “Achtung, fertig Charlie!” it’s a Swiss production and yes, the language is also Swiss…but I could understand ¾ of the movie, so, it was okJ. It’s a very nice movie, I didn’t expect much and I was surprised! It’s about the recruiter school here in CH and Raphael also had to be there for 15 weeks so he told me how it was…really interesting!! After the movie we sat at the bar and drank something…hehe…juice and ice teaJ. As most of u know…I actually don’t like alcohol. We talked about almost everything! It was a really pleasant night!!! He wanted to pay for everything…of course I didn’t let that happen…I feel it’s not fair J He drove me home, I talked about how nice it was that our friendship developed fast etc and we said goodbye…than…he said: “I think it’s more than just friendship”…I FREEZED…I didn’t know what to say…I never thought about that…we really had great times when we are together…but…ohh..I don’t know…so, I’ll have to decide what I wantJ let’s see!! I thought about it the whole night!
Now, Sunday, it’s the 1. Advent, the weather is awful…I’m writing my essay and I just told him we should meet to talk about it, he agreed…let see what happens:-)

2003-11-28T15:56:00.000+01:00

When we were having dinner yesterday, Lucas told us, for the 20th time that it would snow today...but this time he was right:-) we woke up, like we always do..hehe...and it was raining but St. Gallen is a kind of a valley, so only in the city it was raining but on the hills it was snowing:-) where we live is exactly the "line" where it wasn`t snowing! I had only two lessons today, exercices:-) it was great to learn economy and look out of the window and see the snow falling and everything was white:-)
At home we made pommes frites:-), spinach and chicken..it was very nice!!!
I was looking for a picture with snow..so that u could see how it looks like here, if I had a digital camera it would be easier:-) but well...I`ll let ur imagination flow!!!
well...let`s study...:-) time is flying away!!!
kisses to all!!! and many hugs!!! I miss u!!!!

2003-11-27T13:56:00.000+01:00

Hello:-) I`m much better today !!! I slept very well and woke up as fit as I could ever be:-) it was weird, but great!! In the uni I had only two classes: Right and French...in the french class we made a test simulation...it was an article we had to read and afterwards answer 9 questions. This part was ok, the second part was pretty difficult, I`ll have to study that for the real test:-) we had to write an application letter...it`s good we did this simulation `cause now, I`ll know what I still have to study:-
I got home today and had a surprise...in our mailbox, there was a big box for me...from Doris, my fathers Godmother. I wondered what it is...:-) soooo cute...she sent me a letter with sweets beacuse o December 6th: St. Nikolaus day:-) I have to call her and thank her!! I also got some free recipe magazines...mmm...so many good things that can be done:-)
About the aspirines...hehe..I didn`t mean, aspirine, only those Vitamin C tablets...u know? I know I shouldn`t take aspirines...and I don`t, only Weleda:-)...if I really get sick, than I should take these strong medicines.
Now that I`m a little better, I`ll try to study a little...ohh...yes...if u want to make a blog, it`s easy. There are many sites with free offers, I found this Blogspot, there u learn how to build up a blog and u can choose which login u want to use and so on:-) If u have any questions, just ask!!
There`s a new picture on "my pitcures", it`s not that new, but u never saw it:-) It`s here in St. Gallen, in a sunny day on the street near our appartment.

2003-11-26T16:06:00.000+01:00

I normally wake up at 7 o`clock in the morning to go the uni, today, I don`t knw why, I woke at 6:30 and feeling really bad, with headache and feeling sick. I don`t know what it is...I hope I`m not going to be sick, I`m taking Vitamin C "aspirine" and now, I just got home and I`m feeling a little better:-)
Yesterday I had a great day...:-) the sun was shining and I had a lot of "free" time. THat`s the weird thing, I was 100%healthy yesterday and today I`m half sick....how can that be explained?
I don`t know if u saw it, but I added another link to a friends photoblog. She`s a friend from Curitiba:-)
I^m looking out of the window right noe, the trees are almost without leaves...and so is the forest that we have hear nearby. There`s a little bit of sun light...but it`s a cloudy day. Oh, I went to the city the other day and saw that they already put some lights and christmas decoration:-) it`s wonderful!
Well..I`ll try to do some exercices, study and rest...I hope I don`t get sick...the good thing is that the next two weeks we have break...that means...two weeks without lessons to study and write essays.

2003-11-24T21:51:00.000+01:00

At 15 o `clock I went to the uni to that experiment again..I know, u have no idea about what it is, `cause I can`t explain it...hehe..but the one today is a little easier to explain. It`s a computer program and there are 28 people doing the experiment. There`s always a group of 2 people, no one knows whose in the group. The X is the Employer and the Y the employee...there`s a contract and the worker has to accept it or not. Ok, well, if he accepts it, he can ask for less work hours with the same salary or just accept what was offered. Then there`s a table explaining how much it costs for the worker to work for example for 10 hours. Depending on the hours and salary X and Y have a gain. mmm...did u understand it?
Afterwards I went to the bodyattack and had a lot of fun! I even met a girl who`s doing exchange for 6 months and she comes from Kopenhagen :-).
When I got home Piter had already arrived from Zuerich and they were waiting for me to eat chääääääschüechli (little salty cheese "cakes"). Both boys are playing mancala, it`s a strategy game from Egypt with little stones..I love it...and I guess they turned into kids again:-) I`m not the only one...hehe...they are having fun!
I was just talking to a friend from Brazil per SMS, `cause I have free SMS on the internet:-)
Tomorrow it`ll begin :-) let`s see how this week will be.
Oh, and in the uni they are selling tickets for the "uni ball"...like prom, but more serious with long dresses and old music:-)

2003-11-23T21:43:00.000+01:00

it was a wonderful day!!! the sun was great and the sky was blue. Yesterday, at 24o`clock we had some visit, Jean Michel and his girlfriend...they wanted to go to a party and we weren`t very up to it, so they passed by...we hadn`t interesting things to offer, but we had a great talk!!! Before that I was in the city, with Tibi, the first girl I met here...she`s very nice..younger than me, but a good friend :-)
Today I`m tired of sitting the entire day infront of the computer, I wrote a lot on m essay, but I`m still on the half of it...I`m really interested on theme, and I`d love to write more and more...but I don`t have many writing skills...no...that`s not true...I love to write reports in portuguese...and I had good grades...but in german...ihhhhh...hehe...
Carina came here today..we had some hours of fun and she went home again...but she`ll go back to Bern only tomorrow, so we`re going to the bodyattack together.
A nice song:

Beautiful Day
Artist : U2

The heart is a bloom, shoots up through stony ground
But there's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care,
The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere,
You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace

It's a beautiful day, the sky falls
And you feel like it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road but you've got no destination
You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town even if it doesn't ring true
You've been all over and it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

Touch me, take me to that other place
Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth

After the flood all the colours came out
It was a beautiful day
A beautiful day
Don't let it get away

Touch me, take me to that other place
Reach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
You don't need it now, you don't need it now
Beautiful day

2003-11-22T10:29:00.000+01:00

Hi!!! Ups...I`m again late...hehe...last time I wrote was Thursday...that day, when we got home after meeting with the group, we ate fondue...mmm..it was delicious...tipical swiss :-). WHile we were discussing about the exercises, in the uni, there was an exchange program presentation....and some stands from Singapure, Japan, SOuth Korea, China, Budapest, ENgalnd, SPain, India...these are some countries where the uni has partners...people who are in the second year are alowed to do an exchange year or semester :-). Yesterday the day was great...After the uni, at 14 o clock, I went to the city and discovered many cute little stores...but...everything is very expensive...so I just looked at the windows...hehe...can u imagine that? two pieces of chicken cost 7,4 francs here (=5,92 dollars)!!!
I jsut went out of the Accounting class...I`ll go to the city and then home...work on the essay...hehe...
I spoke with my parents yesterday night...it was great!! I`ll soon install a microphone on my computer, than we can talk for hours...:-)
I just got an email from my grandmother, in Brazil, she was worried about me being tired and so...don`t be afraid, I`m fine...sometimes I don`t sleep enough, but I`m ok...not overloaded...on the weekend I always try to make something different, not only study and so...
I opened a photoalbum...so that I can post all the actual pictures...I don`t know if it works yet, but I`ll tell u...:-)

2003-11-20T17:12:00.000+01:00

Yesterday I was tired and depressed...hehe...but than, I went to the cinema, `cause I got two free tickets from the banc to see "Master and Commander", premiere. I went to the cinema with a friend, called Raphael...he`s very nice, he doesn`t live here in St. Gallen but with his family in a city nearby. Hlaf of the audience in the cinema was from the uni:-) When I got home I was ok again..oh..and the sky was wonderfull!!!
Today I was so tired in the Math lesson, that I really almost slept...hehe...but now I`m ok...I`ll meet with a group to make some exercises...and than go home...I think I wont go to bodyattack...there wont be time for it :-( .
Piter was sick today in the morning...of course...they ate heavy food before sleeping :-) but now he`s better!
I have to go...bye...

2003-11-19T10:55:00.000+01:00

Hello :-)
Yesterday I had only 2 lessons, but I was exausted...hehe...right now, I`m in the computers room...and we`re learning about how to use power point, but I`m actually too tired...and the things he`s saying aren`t very important...he`s talking about how to write, to make a new page etc. I Think I`m soon going to eat something...`cause otherwise I wont have time for lunch...
I jsut got an email from my mom, she`s asking about the experiment, but it`s difficult to explain how it works...I think that by MSN-messenger it would be easier...
It`ll be a long day...we have a lesson from 18 to 20...
well, I`ll end up here, cause I think the guy here is beginning to say something interesting :-)

2003-11-17T17:29:00.000+01:00

I just did the economy experiment...it`s really nice...and it`s great `cause u can earn money doing it...I earned a little...better than nothing :-) Maybe they call me fo rnext time too...that would be nice! The day today was ok, I went to the MIGROS (supermarket), read a little more from my skripts and came to the uni. Soon I`ll go to the Bodyattack lesson :-) than home and the week will begin..hehe...ohh..my mom asked how to put comments: u have just to click on the orange comments below the posts...and than another smal page will appear...well..that`s it...bye..

2003-11-16T20:34:00.000+01:00

I did a lot of things today!!! Laundry, cleaning (it was my time to clean the bathroom...), I read a lot, I'm still reading, writing my essay, studying, studying, studying..hehe...I'm actually enjoying studying...it's very interesting..the problem is, having to write something about it...I have to really read everything with 100%attention. Two girl that I met when I got here...both are 12 years old came here today, just to "hang"...they remember my youth...haha...:-). I just talked to Carina, she's also doing fine, and she finally found a good appartment in a WG (Wohngemeinschaft=mmm...I have no idea how that's called). Oh..and by the way, I didn't male raviolis yesterday, it was cannelloni...hehe..and they are great...if I had time, I would cook everything!!
I talked to Stephanie today, through ICQ...but just for a while, 'cause my internet failed...again...it was great to talk to her...I miss everyone!!! You can't imagine how I would like to be in Brazil with u at Christmas...the entire family together...that decoration...the pictures...the cookies :-)...I'll have to make them myself...but maybe I can invite some friends to make it with me...hehe..than, at least, I'll have a little fun :-)
In the Uni we met a guy named Jean-Michel...he's swiss, but very nice...he called me yesterday and asked if I wanted t go out with him, his girlfriend and some friends...I actually wanted to go...but I woulnd't again go alone...next time I while go out...it has been a long time that I haven't been in a party...my english sucks..sorry...and I'm tired so I'll end up here...

2003-11-15T19:43:00.000+01:00

I had a nice day…I’m still having a nice day J. In the morning we went to the Accounting lesson, I was really tired, but I could follow it and I learned things from exercises. Afterwards we went back home and the boys put their things together to go to Zuerich. Now, I’m alone at home!!! Yiiipi!! Hehe…I like to be alone here…I can do my things at my time and study better, listen to music and well…I guess u know how it feels J. After lunch I went to the city and bought some winter stuff…and than..suddenly, in a store, another weird coincidence: I met a girl who studied with us in the swiss school in Sao Paulo a long time ago…she recognized me and vice versa…maybe my mom remembers her, she’s called Michelle. From her I found out that another friend of us, who studied in Rio and Sao Paulo with me, is married and…she’s also pregnant. She’s one year or two older than me…that means, 20 or 21…Michelle told me she stopped studying and is now working…I’ll call her to see how she is. I went back home and cooked…let’s see how it comes out…”maroni”(=castanhas) raviolis…mmm…if it’s good, I’ll put the recipe on my blog. Now I have to study something…I haven’t done anything for the uni yet…wish me luck!!

2003-11-14T16:34:00.000+01:00

Hi!!!
I havent written for a time...it`s really bad...but hey, I`ll try to write more...I haven`t got many news:-)
Yesterday, I was waiting for the bus to go to the Uni (for Bodyattack) and saw a family, with two daughters...they had just bought 2 pairs of skis...we would NEVER see that in Brazil, 7pm, a family, with skis, waiting for the bus :-). It`s impressive how security is better here, I also got home alone, at 9pm, with bus...the independency here is great. We can really go everywhere anytime...the condition is; the last bus is at 24 and on Friday and Saturday at 1am...but things are really near here, so we can go home by foot after a party. What else do I have to tell...well, these days the weather has been very cloudy..oh...yes, I just put the temperature on my blog..I thought it would be useful...from St. Gallen and from Sao Paulo, so we`ll always know how warm or how cold here/there is;-)
Hey, you people from Brazil...if you have TIM`s mobile phone, u can send me SMS...I can send them to u too...so if u`re interested, send me your number!!
Tomorrow I have contability classes...but then, I`ll have a nice weekend...the boys will be in Zürich...I`ll be alone at home...I`m going to study a lot..of course..hehe...write my essay and go shopping...`cause I still have to buy the Christmas gifts...yes, Christmas is coming...I can`t even believe it...time passes too fast!!
The lyrics from the song below are great...I love this song...it makes me remember many people in Brazil and many nice moments...also from the trip I did with Flavia:-)

In My Place
Martin/Berryman/Buckland/Champion. 2000©coldplay

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah
And I was lost, I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed
I was lost, oh yeah

Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
Yeah, how long must you pay for it?
Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
(Oh for it)

I was scared, I was scared
Tired and underprepared
But I wait for it

If you go, if you go
Leave me down here on my own
Then I'll wait for you (yeah)

Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
Yeah, how long must you pay for it?
Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
(Oh for it)

(Sing it) Please, please, please
Come back and sing to me
To me, me

Come on and sing it out, now, now
Come on and sing it out, to me, me
Come back and sing it

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
And I was lost, oh yeah, oh yeah

2003-11-12T10:15:00.000+01:00

The first break today was funny...on the main "place" was a little stand with sport clothes...Adidas and many others...shoes were also there...for half price...in the uni...that was weird, but interesting. And now, I`m going to have an informatic lesson...about word...

2003-11-11T22:05:00.000+01:00

Hello...long time no see...or write :-) Well, I`m actually a little stressed that`s why I haven`T written much....I have to hand in many essays and read a lot to prepare for the classes. I`m really tired, so I`m going to bed now...:-)

2003-11-09T17:29:00.000+01:00

I`m very tired but I had a great week end!!! Yesterday I was supposed to go to the city with a portuguese friend from the uni, but I didn`t `cause Chris was coming and it was her birthday. That means: I baked Brownies and did "brigadeiros"(tipical brazilian sweets for b-day), at night we invited Carina, who aided us doing the chicken strogonoff...and Natalie, from Portugal came with a friend, Andi. We had a great time together!!! we ate a lot, talked, laughed and of course, sang "happy birthday to you...". We also watched Friends, the chapter that Lucas downloaded from Kazaa (the best program to download music and videos clips etc...from interenet, for free:-)? It was a very good night! We had a lot of fun together...and the food was great too!!! I slept late...at 1 am...and at 7:30 I had to wake up, `cause my grandmother came from Zuerich today and I had to pick her up, at the rail station. We had a lot of fun too...the they was wonderful, sunny, so we went for a walk and we also did a great lunch...uhhh...I ate too much this week end...hehe...to many guests at home:-). Now my grandmother already went back and Lucas took Chris to the station. I`m going to sleep early and tomorrow I`ll have to work for the uni...I didn`t do anything yet...I`m a little stressed, `cause I really have to work on it...but I`ll manage it!!!!

2003-11-06T21:03:00.000+01:00

When we went out of the uni, the weather was extremily weird...the clouds were heavy so they were all down here, on the village...we could only see 20m. ahead of us. It looked like those horro movies:-) we bought a lot of things in COOP...the supermarket...so that our refrigerator and kitchen in general is full...we have food for the winter...hehe...
I just got back from the bodyattack training...I look like a tomato...my face is totally red...hehe...it`s awfull...but I`m feelling better than ever...it`s good to do such a sport...I`m relaxed and I`ll certainly sleep well tonight :-) so good night...and..oh...it`s almost full moon!! It`s perfect!!! I have to go home...it`s 21hs and I didn`t eat dinner yet...I just ate some cereal bars...good night!!!

2003-11-06T13:38:00.000+01:00

I`m studying a little every night...not studying, I would say, reading...there`s a lot to be read.
I`m doing fine, a little tired, but I`m seeing that I`m not the only one, people are getting stressed and others are getting out...I mean, many students are getting really out of the uni, they`re going to study somewhere else...a girl (Sandra, she was in my group in the fisrt special week) came to talk to me about that...`cause she was feeling lonely here, without family and friends, while she could be studying in Zürich, where all her friends are. The teachers and some older students do to much pressure, and who`s weak can`t handel it.
My french class was nice today, I went to my real group...and the classroom was completely full...people were sitting on the floor.
Now I just did some administration exercises, for tomorrow and I`ll have Math...afterwards the boys and I, we`re going to "shop" in the supermarket...we have to use our 15% discount..hehe...
In the morning the weather was wonderfull again but it`s cold...2 degrees...:-) I`ll go and study a little now...

2003-11-05T17:55:00.000+01:00

Good Afternoon!!!
It`s 18hs here and the only thing I can see outside is other peoples lights and my reflection on the window :-). Yes, the winter is coming and so is the time passing...in the real winter the sunset ends at 16o`clock...we almost don`t see the light :-) These days are wonderfull!!! today was a tipical autumn day...again...:-) I had economy class, history (today it was very boring) and the last class was math, but not real lesson, I mean, in this lesson I learn things I learned in school...it`s very good to remember. It`s facultativ...
We got home, by car:-) Piter took his stepfathers car for some days...it`s nice!! we don`t have to feel how our ears and nose get frozen...hehe...
Flavia, my friend from Brasil, called me yesterday at night...and she`s probably coming to visit me between dec. and jan....
Michels home page is great...and Ma, there`s the picture of me with the "trancinhas".

2003-11-04T13:26:00.000+01:00

On this exact moment, I`m eating lunch at home, `cause I have 4 hours free...and than back to the uni...to the Math class. I have to make the Trainingspaper 2 `till 24hs today.
Yesterday I went to the Power Yoga lesson, but again it was full so I decided to try something else; Impact Aerobic...it`s not very nice, I thought it was too easy...I mean, it was more choreography and so...not a real sport, not even a dance lesson...if u know what I mean :-) I came home and finished some things in my room...I "nailed" my mirror and the Brazilian flag on the walls...and, well, I guess that was it.

Today it`s a great day!!!It`s a sunny day (a nice picture of the real sun!)the sky is blue and it`s 25 degrees on the sun!!! It`s really beautiful!!!Some trees already lost all their leaves and some are still with autumn colors.

I`m seeing that I wont have time to write every single day on the blog, but I promise that whenever I have some minutes I`ll put a new post.

2003-11-02T13:06:00.000+01:00

Again I didn`t have the chance to write earlier...
On Friday, halloween, I had my three lessons `till 14o`clock and went home. At 19:11 Lucas and I got the train to Zürich, Piter got the train right after the classes. Getting here I went to a little Halloween Party that my aunt was organising, helped clean it up and went with my grandma to Adliswil. We had a good time together! On Saturday we had lunch in the "city" with Jacqueline (my aunt) and afterwards we went each to another side...hehe...I went to the library to get some books for my big assignment that I`ll have to hand in on December 4th. The them is about the continous development in the Mediterranean Region...I think I`m going to write about the desertification development...and the water problems in that area.
Christine, a friend of mine that is doing au pair in Basel, came to ZH for the weekend. So, at night, we went out with Lucas and Michel.
Today, it`s a tipical winter day, it`s cloudy and cold. We`re going to walk a little in the city...and at night I`ll go back to St. Gallen.

2003-10-30T22:30:00.000+01:00

Hello!!!
I didn`t go to theParty yesterday...:-(...first of all, because I had to take the last two buses at 23:15, second I would have to come back with taxi at 4 am...I had classes at 8 am and, the most important point, I wouldn`t go alone to a party. Lucas went with some of his friends from the uni and Piter didn`t want to go...so I decided to stay at home, after making myself pretty for the party..hehe..it`s true, I had my party clothes on and make up...but it was ok...Piter and I stayed at home drinking a "cup of tea", eating Kellogs and talking about life...and the other good thing about it is that I wasn`t tired when I woke up this morning and I could actually pay attention to what the teacher was saying...hehe...just kidding...it was the nice teacher...the funny one :-)
This was my only lesson today...from 8 to 10 am...afterwards I came home, did lunch and was free!!! I arranged to organize some things in my room...I finally glued some pictures and nice things to my garderobe doors...and my desk isn`t the same mess it was...hehe...now I was studying Right...uhhh...there`s a lot to read :-).
I decided not to study spanish this year, I have to pass it, so, next year, I`ll do it...and this year I`ll give my time to studies and the university :-)

Oops....I din`t write something yesterday :-) sorry...hehe...we all had to hand in the essay until midnight so I sent it, while the boys used the internet until the last minutes..hehe...no, just kidding...they were using their computers and the INternet in mine isn`t workin very well...:-(
Anyway...yesterday was a marvellous day, the sun was shining and the weather wasn`t so cold...the only thing that I`m feeling is that the air is veeeeery dry...my nose is suffering :-). The day was full of lessons and even skiped one..hehe...hey...don`T think that I`ll do that everytime, it`s just that the lesson isn`t interesting at all and if I have doubts I can read the book...it`s about learning how to write an essay and so on...I learned that at school...and the professors are extremily boring :-). I went to the library and researched for literature for my essay.
Oh...at 10:30 we had to take our themes for our first big written assignment....900 students and 300 themes...I had luck...they gave us an envelope with the them inside...I`ll have to write about the development in the mediterranean see...I just have to ask the teacher which development she means...:-) and I`ll have to hand it in, in one month!! A lot of work to do!! But I heard they do that only to freak the students out...`cause they want to "eliminate" at least 40%...I hope I wont be one of them...hehe...many people get stressed and get out of the university...some stay and don`t pass...
we had french lesson and we`re learning how to write a CV... in french...:-)
At the Math class something extraordinally happened...first...I didn`t go to the same teacher as the last week...I went to a better one...and so did all the rest of the 900 students..but...the thing is that last week I met a guy on math class, called Johannes...and this week he came and send me greetings from his sister...who, in fact, is my grandmothers massagist , and I know her...:-) the world is too small...900 students, many different math groups and he was in my group, sitting on my side...

Today:
I`m going to history class now...I had economy and 2 hours free...to eat something, study, write in blogs...:-)
The weather was wonderfull in the morning...now it`s getting cloudy...I think it will rain...and they say that tomorrow or on friday it will snow!!!
Tonight I`ll go to the "Erstsemesterparty" (I think u can understand it...first semester party), they say it`s big...I heard they talk about it even on the radio!
I just got an email from my grandmother in Brazil...i just loved it...and I miss u soooo much!!!!
Soon, I`ll have to go into the class, so...bye...

Today I had a bad day...it wasn`t that bad..but I`m tired...I did too many things...I woke up at 7 am `cause my grandmother had just arrived from Brazil and called me. I couldn`t sleep anymore, so I decided to begin my laundry. At 11:45 I went to the uni to make my Power Yoga lesson, but I got there a little too late, so I didn`t do it. I went to the library and read books for my essay...I`m soo tired...I think I`m going home...and sleep a little before this week starts. I saw many blogs and interesting sites today...maybe I`ll put some new things into my blog:-)
The snow is still visible...!
My mom wrote me an email saying that I made some mistakes....I know, I`m sorry...some of them are typing errors or just my isability to write english...hehe...

2003-10-26T23:11:00.000+01:00

I woke up early today, 8am...because I couldn`t sleep more. I began reading the papers for my first written assignment that I`ll have to hand in on Tuesday. At 13 o`clock we went to Nataschas (Carinas Sister) appartment, `cause we were invited for lunch. Unfortunatelly we had to go home after few hours, to keep doing our essays.
The weater is great...the sun was shining and the snow still melting...many orange leaves on the floor and a very cool breeze...it`s getting colder and colder...
That`s everything I did today :-)

2003-10-25T22:54:00.000+02:00

I had to wake up early, even being Saturday, `cause I have contability lessons...:-) the lesson was very interesting and the teacher was great....next Saturday we wont have classes `cause it`s a catholic holly day (how do u say that?)...he wished us a happy halloween wearing pumpkin glasses, so cute!! At home we ate the pumpkin soup I did last week and went for a walk, to take pictures of the wonderful sunny day and the snow melting! It was cold... -3 degrees, but a very nice day!!
Today I was trying to make some things on the blog, but it didn`t work very well hehe...I will keep trying to improve the site...and sorry dor errors...hehe...send me an email if something goes wrong, ok?

Life is difficult sometimes...but we have to go on and see the good things and the positive side of everything!! That`s how it`s being with me, people here are too different, I mean, more superficial than in Brazil and the uni scheme of classes isn`t perfect for meeting friends...`cause in all my courses I have different classes...so that I know many people but no real friend. At least I have my friends here and you guys in Brazil!! I know that I can`t get sad and I`m enjoying everything as much as I can and even more....!!! :-)
Do u know "The Rasmus", a Scandinavian music group? They have great lyrics, a little depressive, but some parts correspond exactly to our lives:

First day of my life
"Feel like I'm stoned
wanna be alone, just for a while, unknown
Weeks on the road a long way from home
just shut off the phone(...)

Still feels like the first time
to stand here by your side
together regardless
we'll walk through the darkness
Still fells like the first day of my life

Remember the times
together we swore, never give up this life
still hanging on, still going strong
here I belong

And maybe I'm crazy
but I just can't slow down
And maybe I'm crazy
but at least I'm still around
(...)"

This is only a piece from a song...they have many others that are very nice! Some have nice melodies too!

U can’t believe, or imagine it… yesterday at 16hs, walking home it was raining, but not normal raining, it was like small pieces of ice…and as soon as we got home it got heavier…and it turned into snow!!! It snowed the whole night and morning…the streets are white, all cars covered by the white and clean snow!!! It’s wonderful!!! It’s still autumn, so that trees are still losing their leaves…that means: here are many orange, red and green trees and plants covered by snow…I can’t explain how beautiful it is J. Kids are playing their snow games and buses were having problems today. We got a little late in the uni J…hehe…because we have to take an electric bus and the electric wires were covered with snow, so they weren’t as good as they should be. Looking through my window, here at home, I see white houses and a typical Christmas tree. It’s cold…hehe…the minimum today was 0 degrees…brrrr…thank God someone created the heating system J.
Today we were assigned to do 2 written works already…one for Tuesday and the other for Friday. At 15hs we got home and ate lunch, stroganoff….Carina came visit us and now, both boys are sleeping…doing siesta hehe…and I will study.
Carina came here and we all ate pizza :-) it`s getting colder...hehe...good night!!

Ok...I didn`t have that much time to sleep...`cause yesterday night I studied until 24hs with Piter, while Lucas went to the "Welcome Party". We studied "Right" and I did some Math exercises...there`s a lot to learn and remember :-). The management class was moved to 8-10 o`clock in the morning, so we had to wake up early. After that the three of us went to a spanish lesson....it was extremily easy,...but we never had a spanish lesson, so it`s good to learn things from the beginning, like grammar and so on...There are 4 hours each week....I`m probably going to attend only 2 of them...or we`ll go to another group. I just had lunch at the Uni`s restaurant....it isn`t as cheap as eating at home, but it`s also not as expensive as in a restaurant. Things are doing fine and I haven`t got that much to talk about...as soon as I have something new, I`ll tell u :-)

2003-10-22T14:43:00.000+02:00

The Math class wasn`t what I expected...it was awfull...the teacher is very insecure and she`s always making mistakes...and well...I didn`t understand anything...the good thing is that I already learned these things in school :-).
Today I had my first economy lesson...it was ok...interesting...but I was tired :-). This lesson is given for all the 900 students...so that they don`t fit in only one room. Lucas, Piter and I were in a room where we saw the lesson through the screen :-) weird...hehe
My sotry lesson was great...I chose for "Mediengeschichte" (communication history)...it was the most interesting of all topics...I could have chosen Philosophy, Psicology or Sociology...but history is the best ! My last lesson ends at 20 o`clock...:-( tomorrow I have to be here only after mid day...so I`ll have plenty of time to sleep! :-)
I guess that was it...
Oh, my aunt will help me introducing more things into the blog...like a msg board or something like that...:-)
bye

The Bodyattack lesson yesterday was great!!! It`s a condition training...with tecno music and fast movements :-) Today I`m feeling my muscles hurting...hehe...`cause power yoga isn`t that easy either. It`s good to do some sport again!!!
Today, the real first day in the university is being ok...we had some lessons (Right, how to study and french) and now 2 hours `till Math class. All classes have 45min. and there`s always a 15min. break between them...they are always double classes! I wanted to attend spanish classes too, but it`ll be only on Thursday.
I met two guys that studied in our school in Brazil Rafael(1st semester) and Mucki(7th semester)...like everywhere, we can find all types of people...the majority is very nice...:-) we met a girl who comes from Portugal, so we have been talking a lot of portuguese too...hehe...most of them are from Germany or here, CH.
All the university sponsors are giving many "gifts"...all the time...like Knorr soups or Uncle Bens Risoto...even Gel and shampoos from Nivea.
Well, to those who don`t know it yet: 70% of all the university students are men...most of them are ok...cute :-)...and the rest are women...Piter, Lucas and others friends say that they are nice and what it counts is the quality and not quantity...so..I guess everyone is happy here...Even the gays...`cause one of many organisations is the "UniGay" with 50 members...
I think I`m going to be a member of the "latinos" organisation...and maybe also international students....
900 students entered the Assessment year, but the uni has +/- 5500 students !!! That means, everyday we meet new people...but there`s also the bad side of it...it`s difficult to see the same person twice...if the classes etc. aren`t the same...
The weather wasn`t very cold today...8 degrees and raining...I hate the way it rains here...it`s not like those summer rains in Brazil...:-(
The library here has two floors...I`m sure it`s good for studies...
Well...I`ll end up here...
kisses to all!!!

Today I came to the uni, only to try some sports...at 12 o clock I "practiced" Power Yoga...and now I was traying to connect my laptop to the wirelless network in the university...unfortunately, it didn't work :-( but I'll try again tomorrow! I'll soon go to another type of gymnastic...and than home...'cause tomorrow the real thing starts...I'll have administration as the first lesson and than only at 18 I'll be free to go home.
I just met a guy from Uzbekistan...how do u write that? He's an exchange student here in St Gallen...he's going to start the Master years after the exchange. Interesting.

In the uni I have my own email and 70MB of space, so, if u want to send me pictures or such big stuff, send it to: sybil.juzwiak@student.unisg.ch
