Carol asked me how (or where) did I learn english and I'll tell ya a short story. Once upon a time...lol...ok, I'm kidding.... first of all I was 16 and I did realize the need of learning english. I never had patience to courses or something like that then I tried to do it by myself.
My brother and my uncle learned english by theirselves and I thought if they could do it I could do either. And I did. With mariah Carey's help I learned english....lol...I started translating her songs, the lyrics and the dictionary helped me and I had a lot of hard work.
Well my english is bad, I know, but it's much better write like I do then don't know nothing :) And I helped a lost boy from Israel that I found in a bus once. He was speaking english and nobody understood a word (learn it: almost nobody here in Brazil speaks english and some don't even speaks spanish - I don't speak spanish- but everybody speaks portuguese :) ).
Look at this, the guy comes to a strange country, just him and a friend, don't know a simple word in portuguese and go to a small town where almost nobody understand a word in english...
It was late, 9 PM and he was trying to find the road station to take a bus to somewherelse. Someone screamed in the bus "Hi, does anybody here speaks english???" I looked to the left, looked to the right...nobody! Well if nobody speaks english- I thought- I'm better than nothing.
And....I did talk to him!!! And he understood!!! And he told me that my english was pretty good....and I didn't believe, of course, his english was worst than mine. And whatever the point is communicating, isn't it? Well I guess that's what I'm doing right here...or trying to.
Now I'm living in Porto Alegre, South of Brazil. I forgot my dictionary and it's late of night, I'm sleepy...please, forgive me if I said something wrong I have reasons!!! A lot of them...wanna choose ? ;)

That's me...yeah, I'm very happy...most because of the fact that I found the love of my life...I know it sounds weird but I've got no other way to express at all. Then you can see all my joy in my eyes....and if you wanna face that translation tool in My Blog go there and enjoy the news! If you do understand a word...

Vanishing.... yeah, I've been busy. I was traveling to the south...I will move until the end of this year. I'm a little bit bored now and I promise that I'll be back when I get some enthusiasm. Kisses and Hugs. And yeah, Belle, I'm still breathing. Keep going!!!

Believe me, I won't run away from here anymore. That's my new home and now I have comments!!! Looking In didn't have comments (just that tagboard) it's an evolved blog... now I can post images and I can also write.... :). Well, about those translation tools in my other blogs....it works, at least you can understand something, but that's some funny situations, it translates "Gato" (cat) as "Good looking one" and one of those links (Adopt a kitten) turned to "It adopts a good looking one"....hahaha....that's great! I could adopt a good looking one...where's the link? And it just can't translate "Vocês" (you, if it's more than one person) and other things. Just compare:
Translated by the tool:
It remembers the girl-oyster, Ciclope ? That one that many times left vocês alone in the interval and disappeared for the nothing,
without giving explanations nobody? Therefore it is, to the times it comes back, resurging of leached ashes and to the times I have homesickness of it... of everything because it was depressive and this does not make lack, but do not feel lack of the freedom
sensation that the escape brings... was much more comfortable to only coexist me, the papers and the nothing.
And that's what I meant:
Do you remember the oyster girl, Ciclope? That one that left you alone in the interval of the lessions and just disappeared to nowhere without explanations? Well, sometimes she comes back, like phoenix and sometimes I miss her...not at all, coz she was depressive and it isn't worthy. But I miss the feeling of freedom that escapes brings...it was much more comfortable dealing with myself, my papers and nothing else.
As you can see, nobody's perfect.... but the tool is better than nothing..at least if you know portuguese enough to read my texts and understand better than the tool....

Ok, then go there, I did put two translation tools, one on the top and another after the counter, near the other banners, click on the flag. Go there and tell me which do you prefer, at fact I guess the both are the same.
I need to improve my english, I'm writting almost like an illiterate trying do be understandable. Well if you can understand something here better than you could understand there in my blog I feel a little bit better. Hummm...where do I start? I'm studying a lot, in a couple years I'll be a journalist.
For while I'm writing a lot in "Another Monster" and they published one article of mine on the University's webjournal...well, I don't even know why did I link it if you don't understand a word in portuguese... well, you can try. I'll put a translation tool on "Another Monster", but I don't know if it will works coz the translations done by these stuffs are worst than my precarious English. Anyway let's try! It can be useful. And welcome back, I won't let you abandonated anymore...I mean it. Kisses and hugs...See ya!!!
