I had a dream!

Hello people!!!

A while ago, when I was living in Brisbane and taking English classes my teacher once told me she had a dream, it was a normal dream just like others, however there was a slightly difference from the other dreams she'd had. She dreamed in Portuguese, yeah, in Portuguese. As she was learning Portuguese for a while she told us that and apparently her Portuguese was very good, so she said that when we dreamed in English our English would be all right. And just a few nights ago I had this dream. It wasn't a dream that I dreamed in English, but a real dream. So, I suppose my English is not so bad now. Haha... I can't really remember the whole dream, only the English words, hehe...
This shot was taken by my roomie, we went up to my roof. We are not really allowed to go there, but everyone goes because this nice view. So I had to check it out.

Thing here are all right, this week more people are leaving to go to their homes, my house is pretty empty now, so we have to hang out with people from other houses. I've been to a gym lately, only because we got ten days free of charge, watched the new James Bond movie...

Ahhh... we planned our road trip already, we are going up the east coast and stopping in my friends' relatives and friends. Maybe we'll stay at the church I attended in Brisbane when we get there. yeahh, the route is done now, next week we are hitting the road!!!

Unfortunatelly no work this week so far, I've called my agency, but nothing yet. Hopefully they will have something tomorrow.

See you guys!!!

Byeee!!!

Holidays, farewells, end of the year...

Hello people who have read about my journey in Australia. The year is coming to the end and so is the holidays. yeah, everyone is pretty much on holidays now, but I still have classes. So, some of my mates here have gone back to their hometown, but hopefully I'll meet them once more before I head back to Brazil! hehe... Talking about Brazil, what a game our soccer team played this week, we smashed those portuguese! hehehe... good stuff.

Last weekend, there was a big market along my street. It's called Glebe Fair Street, kind a market on the street, very alternative. Very famous over here, it was really a privilege and it was just in front of our house.


That's me, looking like a tourist, haha... My house is just a few meter behind me on the left hand side. This was a massive market. It went over the hill you can see behind me and there was more in front of me. A lot of walking this day...


...but as it was just in front of our house we put our couch in our varanda and sat down there to hang out together. Nice day, everyone from my house was there.

The weekend was all right, I worked for long 9 hours at the racecourse, this time as a waiter. Church on Sunday. One of the pastor is leaving the church to teach in a missionary college here, so it was his farewell last service.

Have you heard about a movie called "Australia"? They release this movie here last Tuesday, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman are in the cast, they are both australian, I'm not sure what the movie is about yet, but I'll find out next week. hehe... So there was a premiere openning for the movie and all stars showed up.

Then we went up the cinema to check out the stars. This photo above was taken by Jess, who was over Sanchez's shoulders (this guy just in front of me). She couldn't take a shot from any of the stars but me and Beck, haha... we waited for a long time, but we couldn't see anyone. That was a shame. After that we saw them in the news, they were all there. Afterwards we had a bbq at the girls house but we ran out of gas, so I make my steak in the oven.

Yesterday I worked at the Chinese Consulate. The place looks like a prison, but that was okay. Easy shift, only 5 hours and after we finished, they let us eat whatever we wanted and we also could take something home.

And the week is not over yet. I'm not gonna work this weekend, but we have a clean up at home, as everyone is leaving we have to clean the house for the summer residents. I'll be here by the time so let's clean it up! hehe...

yeahh, a bit more the two months to go.

See yaaa!!!

Rest in peace Grandma

I just received the message that my dear grandma passed away. She was the only one alive between my grandparents. I can't tell you how I'm feeling right now, because I think I haven't realised this loss totally.

However it's hard to go through this moments far away. I can't really feel what's going on.
I'm glad I could see and talk to her through the webcam at least, before she goes.
I'd like to have thanked her for all she did for me and my family and said sorry for all naughtiness. I don't know how it's gonna be when I go back, but it's gonna be weirdo to be at home and don't hear her knocking our door during the week and coming over on the weekends.

May God give peace and strength to our family to bear this loss.

#82 Trivia Night

Hello peeps!!

So, as I told before we had the monthly event organised by my house, we did a trivia night, kind of quizz. We make up some sections and I did questions about Brazil. It was very good, a lot of knowledge! haha... Ahh, good food as well. I made this awesome brazilizn carrot cake, they put some nuts in the carrot cake here and it is brown. I reckon it was good, not as good as my mom's cake, but eatable. We had a good night together.

We are in the middle of november. You know, I was thinking of staying one year more. That's is the thing I was chewing over. However now I've cleared my mind and I'm going back. I've talked with my family, some friends, heard about what's going on over there. Remembering all that stuff made me miss our land a lot. Despite that would be a good opportunity to grow if I stayed one year more. Anyway, now I'm kind a mix of feelings like longing to go back and enjoying the last moments here with my mates. Most of them are leaving by the end of this month since they finish their final exams.
I'm really happy for what has happened, I think I've learnt and grew heaps here.

Job? Yeahh... I'm still doing some shifts for my agency, this Saturday I'm going to go to another Jockey.

Thanks again for all support!

See you!!!

Waiter? I'm a barman!

Hi everyone!

So, as I had said I started working in hospitality now. I had a training for a waiter, but my first shift was as a barman. Crazyyy!!! There is a horse race here called Melbourne Cup, it is like World Cup here, everyone stops to watch this three minutes race. I worked at a big racecourse, a bunch of people went over there only to gamble and watch the race on the screen. Anyway, about the job, it was quite hard to get the orders, because sometimes they asked a drink that I didn't know what it was, so I asked to my mate a lot of times and it was busy busyy!!! After a while I started to get the names and how to do. In the end I had broken only one bottle of Heineken and made some mistakes with the drinks. It was fine, this Sunday I'll be working at the Acer Arena, it should be the same thing, there should be happening a concert over there, not sure yet.
So, I think I'll keep working with them depite the fact that it's not very regular, but it's better than nothing, hehe...

Last Friday we also had a Masquariedy Party, it wasn't so chic as at Saude, but it was fun.

We had some performances, plays and guess what, Peter Parker showed up there! haha...
We played a improvisation game, like you have to act and improvise according to the theme. It is not really easy when we played in Brazil, now imagine in English. It was embarassed!

Yesterday, it was my roomie birthday!We had something different to celebrate, we had a Happy Breakky Birthday! We just went to have a breakfast together at "Well connected" as you can see above!! haha... good way to start a day!

So, many thing happening now, everyone is doing exams, some of them have finished. It's pretty much all done, but I still have some weeks at my College.

Ahhhh, tomorrow night (Friday) is our monthly event, so we will have a trivia night. But I'll leave to post about this next week, after the event.

Some thoughts: when I was working this week, I saw lots of rich people spending their money gambling and drinking. I don't know their lives to judge, but after my shift on my way to the bus stop I saw people totally drunk on the street. That was sad, because although they were happy when they were drinking, that was just a temporary happiness. I'd say worthless and meaningless compared to the eternal life Jesus has given us. And this is surely a eternal happiness as well.

See you guys!!!
