WHAT A YEAR!!!

Hey people!!! such an amazing year, wasn't it? so many stories, so many blessings, so many cultures, so many new friends and so on! heaps of new things. This time overseas has really opened my mind to the world. After a while overseas I've learnt so much and grown as well. Really life-changing.

This photo was during my road trip with my mates, there we were in Byron Bay, such a beautiful town. That is the light house there, awesome view from there.

I'm still reflecting about 2008, but I'm so grateful for all that happened. God's been so good to me!

Today we are going to the Sydney Harbor to watch the famous fireworks here! hehe... we are going soon, about lunch time and stay there till the midnight! it's gonna be a long day!

So, HAPPY NEW YEAR for everyone! Thank you again for all support!

Byeeee!!

See you in 2009!!!

And so that was Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!
This year was different to be away from family at this time of the year. Really missed you Dad, Mom, Jack... hehe... however we had a quite brazilian celebration. we went to celebrate with some friends from the Advestist Church. So, we could have some brazilian food, awesome by the way, really yummy!

As you can see above, there were some asian faces. We invite two koream mates to join us, they liked despite we had spoken a lot in portuguese. And I got a book when we exchange gifts during the secret santa (amigo secreto), I didn't really want a book now, but it might be a good reading! haha... this was in the christmas eve.

In the Christmas day in itself, we went to church. it was actually the first time ever I attended church at the christmas day. but I found all right! we had a nice service. Then we had a lunch with some friends and we went to the beach!! first time I went to the beach at christmas day as well! hehe...

Now, the new year is coming and I'll be at the harbour to watch the fireworks. putting a lot of expectation on it! haha.... it's gonna be great!

Ahhhh, nice news. I'm going to a mission in early january, from 2rd to 10th. We are going up to the central coast and take some kids to a camping at the beach. my friend invited me to join them. so it's gonna be like a kids camping. and I'm so grateful for this opportunity, God knows how I missed the EBF this year and I think he decided to give me this! hehe...
So, be praying for this. I think it's gonna be fine.

wish you all a happy new year!!! hehe....

ahhh, there are lots of photos of my road trip. so I will post them soon!!

see you!!
byeee!!!

Thank you Lord!!!

Hello everyone!!! I'm back after two weeks on the road! It really was an amazing time. We visit my mates' families, the church I attended in Brisbane, had heaps of fun, time to pray and worship, beaching almost everyday, beautiful places, awesome food. We are very thankful for all things God provided during the trip, the days were getting better and better. Anyway, I think you won't understand if I say the name of the places, so I'll let to explain when I go back. all right?

The thing is, it was much more than I could imagine.


That's me and Jimmy, we got the little car, only two seats. haha...
As it was only two of us, I couldn't have a nap. hehe...

Now I'm back to Sydney. Christmas is coming soon and so is my homesickness! hehe... I think I will spend with some friends. But nothing like family.

Well, now let's enjoy the Christmas time and new year! hehe...

We are still filtering the photos, so that I can post some in my orkut and facebook! hehe...

Yeah, I'll never get tired to thank God for this time here.

A bit more than a month to go!!!! hehe....

Byeee!!!

Summer is on!!! OH yeahh!!!

Hey guys!!!
Summer is on at last! So is holidays!! hehe... Time to go for a trip, UHUULLL!!! Tomorrow we'll start off our road trip. Heading to north tomorrow, I'm not gonna tell you the cities couse won't make any difference, I'll tell you when I go back and show the shots. So, I'm really excited about that, it's gonna be awesome! But I'll tell you how it went afterwards.

So, as you can see below, I went to a real football game last Friday, the game was Sydney F.C. x Queensland Roar, the score was 1x1 and the match in itself wasn't that good. That made me remember when I went to Morumbi to see my tricolor!!! By the way, we are about to win our 6th title and 3rd in a roll! haha...


That was quite nice, ahhh... the match was at the Aussie Stadium, the second biggest in Sydney, I think.

Today, a brazilian mate rocked up. Some of you might know him. His name is Jun, he went to IMel Saude a few times and he was a member of ABU. Anyway, he was in Perth since March and came down here to spend the summer. We did some tour today around the city and went to Hillsong at night.

So, I gotta go now! Some stuff to organize and hit the road!!! hehe....
I think it will take at least two weeks for the next post! So, see you then... hopefully I'll have lots of good stories to tell you after this trip!!

See you guyss!!
Byeeee!!!!
