King or not? haha...

Hello everyone!

So, as you know we had our formal party last Friday. It was very good, just like a wedding or a graduation party. They call pron, do you know those party we see in the North American movies? Then they have the king and the queen and you have to invite someone to go with. That was it, but we didn't need to invite anyone, because we were all invited already.

Ahhh, we needed to dress up for the occasion, haha... those are mates from my house. Chic boys! It's only missing Ash.


As I said we had that King and Queen thing, so everyone voted to one king and one queen. And guess what? Me and my mate Howard were elected Kings, hahaha... that was funny, and Hillary was the Queen.

The night was only beggining, after the party we went to the top floor from the Shopping Mall close to our house to hang out a bit. That is the view we have from there.

Then some of us decided to go to the Pancakes on the Rocks, it is a place who sells nice pancakes. But the place is close to the Opera House. We decided to go walking, a very long walking, so we walked from 2am to 4pm to get there, of course we had some stops in the middle.
After the pancakes was like 5:30, then we went to Opera House to watch the sunrise.

Everyone was a bit tired as you can see on the photo above! haha... I'm gonna post more photos on my orkut if you wanna see more or I can show you when I go back! haha...

Then the sun was rising, it wasn't so wonderful because there were so many clouds. So, it was a long and enjoyable night.


Also last week we had gone to the World Passion Tour, such an amazing time, worshipping, praising and praying. It was a privilege to be there. Just encourage me to take the gospel to my friends.

So, that is it. Some thoughts?
Well, there are still three months to go and this has made me think about the future. I don't really know, but let's see what happens! hehehe...

I have to chew over a bit more my thoughts about this. Then I'll tell you guys!!

See yaa!!

Waiter or not?

Hello everyone!
Today I worked as a waiter helping in a kind of formal party, it was voluntary, but it was good to see how it works. So, I will have a training at the hospitality agency tomorrow and another next week, then I will start to work for them in some events here. That is gonna be a nice experience. The labor thing seems to be hard now, I've called the labor hire, but he hasn't had jobs lately. So, I'm trusting in God and is in his hands whether I work as a waiter or a labor or anything else.

I will tell you somethings that has happened over here. One of my mates here studies radio and media comunication. He works at a radio station as a speaker, so he can put and dedicate songs for people. Last Friday he played a brazilian tune from "O Rappa" titled "Eu quero ver Gol!", hehe... that was good!

We just went to our backyard, turned on the radio and enjoyed his show. It's called "Time with Tim". Good time!

Last week I drove for the very first time here, my friend got a bad knee, so I helped him to go to our school to enroll.

That was pretty scary in the beginning, the wheel is on the right side and the way is all inverse, haha... but after a while you can manage to get along with.

Also last week we had another monthly event, it was a Carnivale! haha... everyone got a costume and went to 66. It was very good! Some plays, food, dance and so on...

That is Hilary, as you can see, she was really into the thing.

Saturday was shop day! We went shopping cause we have a formal party from our house this Friday, so everyone is gonna dress up to go there!
We went with some girls and as every girl, they took so long to choose. haha...

That's us waiting, haha...
The boys also took a bit long, but not as long as the girls.

So, that was my week.
Tomorrow, I'm going to the "World Passion" after my training, it's gonna be great!
On Friday we have the formal party! hehe... it's kind of a graduation party. Food, dance, everyone chic... haha...

Please keep praying for me, not for job in particular, but that I may trust in God.
One thing we heard last service was the we are all servants of God, so we belong to him and all things we have, He has given to us, it's not ours. And if sometimes we get sad or angry when we lose something, that we may remember that we just give things back to God. Thing or even people that are in fact His, not ours.

Oaiii Shongo!!!

This means "I love China." There are two Chinese guys living here and one of them, Howard, is doing his PhD in Economics. He is only 21, haha... Last week we had his master's graduation at University of Sydney. Quite nice to go there and celebrate this moment.


That's Howard, very wise guy. So, after the ceremony we went to a Chinese restaurant with his parents. We had some Chinese food, very spicy food! haha... my mouth was on fire, we had to ask for a jug of water to keep eating. That was nice moments, his parents shouted us there.

Last weekend there was a great service at the church, we gathered the three services, the morning and the two evening services. Heaps of people, about 500 I think. It was good to be with the other people from our church.

Next week the Passion World Tour will be here and it's gonna be very close to my house, so I might go. I think they were in Sao Paulo a few months ago.

So, still looking for a job. hehe... still enjoying this present.
Somethings hasn't been like I had planned, but I have nothing to complain. God's been so good to me that I only have to thank him for all he's provided.

That's it. Thank you so much again for prayers and support.

Byeee!!!

Vegetables? NOOOOO!!!

Hello guys!

As most of you might know, I just hate vegetables, the vegetables I eat are potatoes and... fried potatoes. haha...

Okay, now everyone knows about this. So I went camping last weekend with my brothers and sister from Seventh Day Adventist Church. We started on Friday, we gathered at the church to go, it was going everything well, some troubles with baggage and lifts, but nothing very bad.

We got there in the evening, we set up the tents and the "kitchen", the place to cook.

Okay, I started to know people, talk with them. The hunger came up and it was dinner time. I asked what we would have for dinner. Then they told me what would be like a curse for me. They told me, it was a vegetarian menu. Ahhhh, I hadn't had this information before I went there. So, we have no meat from Friday to Monday. Can you believe? I'm not sure, but lots of adventist peeps are veggies. How can they survive? hehe... Anyway, I ate pasta with tomato sauce and vegetarian sausage, Bread with cheese and catchup, rice mixed with some veggies and hot dog with veggie sausage. That was the hardest time here for sure, hehe... just kidding, we had a good time. They are a portuguese church, but heaps of them were born here and learn portugues from their parents. It was very funny when they started to mix portuguese with english, even in the bible study and prayers. Very good time.

And this week, God has rewarded me already. We had a barbeque yesterday before the bible study, hehe... good to eat some meat!

Heaps of meat, by the way. Those are, Myles, Nick and Sanchez.

So, I ate heaps. And of course, we had some "farofa" that I cooked. hehe...Those are me, Jess and Kate.

I tried to make a carrot cake, but it wasn't like mom's, so I'll try again soon.

Job? What is it? hehe... Yeahh, I haven't worked for a while. Yesterday I went to a hospitality agency and they were really nice of me. They will train me and then I can work for them. However I have to wait until the end of this month to do the training. During the meantime I'll keep looking for other jobs.

Ahhh, this Sunday we will have a great service gathering everyone from the church I'm going. There are different services during the week and on Sunday. So, once a year we gather everyone! And we will have another BBQ before the service.

See you guys!!!

Byeee!

Miss you!!!
