Another week goes by ...



I know, I know. I have not posted anything for a while... THings have been crazy busy here at work and I never have time to do it. After I am done work normally it's way too late for me to want to sit in front of the computer and type anything. And YES I do work even though my blog makes it look like I am always traveling ... ;-)

Well last weekend was uneventfull... involved a lot of drinking and going out to clubs and some shopping and preparing the apartment for the big arrival of the week. Mila is finally getting to Singapore so I decided to decorate a bit. By "decorating" I mean I finally bought a bed, bedside tables and a plant (now that someone will remember to give it some water) and I hired a cleaning lady!

Now I am wondering if I will actually have time or space in my fridge for any food. Right now it's full of booze. Funnny thing is that I never drink home so I end up with my fridge full of booze all the time... I guess it's not such a bad thing.

Some more GREAT news are:

Jason and Callie had a baby girl: "... Carmen Jade is doing well as are both Callie and I. We are now almost 1 month in and apart from a lack of sleep everything is going well so far...."

Roberta and Flavio are arranging the last details to come visit in July and we are planning a little weekend trip to Thailand to meet them... probably Ko Phi Phi.

Marcia and Tobin are moving to Australia ... one more place I can go visit. NICE !

Mi arrives this week ... =D yeah I know I mentioned before.


I still have to download the rest of my Paris Pics and post some wedding ones but I do not have any of them yet.... will get to it sometime soon ! Hopefully I will not forget !

Hope everyone is well ... Miss you all !

BTW. Julia is way to lazy to update her own blog and asked me to say hi to her family (specially mom) and friends since they started to follow my blog instead. =)

Cest la vie !!!





Here I am again, back in Singapore and writing about my past week. It's been a great week and Brazil was awesome. I got to go to Juli (my sister) and Edu's wedding and rest a lot. I got to see the family and introduce them to Mi... Needless to say that they loved her and every 2 minutes I had someone telling me never to let her go. I was not planning on doing that anyways.

On my way to Brazil I got to see Paris for the first time ever. The Pics here are all from my first day there. For those who have been there, you can notice the thing I did the most was WALK. I walked a LOT. I started the day by going to "Sacre Coeur" and walking and having breakfast at Montremarte. After breakfast I went for a walk on "Le Marais". After that I took the subway to "Le Arc de Triomphe" and walked to the top. From there I walked the all the Champs Elysee to the "jandin des Tuileries and the Louvre where I took a sit for a bit and imagined my parents on their French days sitting at this place for days and just looking at the scenery around them. Paris is an AMAZING place... wherever you look you see history, you see great looking old buildings and dressed up people.

From the Louvre I figured I havd not walked enough so I decided to see Notre Dame, the last stop of my first day in Paris. On my way back to Paris, I only did the Eifel tower and walked some more on Champs Elisee. It was a shorter stop. The pics from that are still on my camera and I will try to post them soon. PICS from the wedding will also be posted as I get them from the photographer in Brazil.

Thanks to Sophie for all the directions on Paris !!!
