HEART STATION

This past weekend has been very awesome, and yet very boring. On friday, when we left school at 11:15 a.m. we went straight to Renato’s birthday party, which was a great one.

The party was in Outback, full of fabulous plates, and the best company in the world, Ah, nothing’s better than eating chicken with mushrooms, bacon and cheese, and be surrounded by your friends. After everybody was done, the part 2 of the party started, everybody kind of scattered through out the restaraunt, and Sofy and I stayed at the couch. She was real drowsy and sleepy, so she asked me if she could rest her head on my lap, so I said “sure, why not?” and then, this perverted, sick, disgusting man kept looking at us the whole time, with this perverted, sick, disgusting grin on his face. He looked at his friends, mocking us, and laughing, and back to us. (Message to the perv) Look, you freak, do I have a sign on my head announcing I’m public property, or part of a TV show? NO! so turn around, be ashamed of your indiscrete glances, and get over my beauty your ridiculous cheap pig!

We told Cary about our slight observation, and we went to sit down again. Not only was he still looking at Bo (Baby + So [Sofy]) and I, but also at Cary and her boyfriend. (message to perv) You really have issues, and we ain’t a part of your issues. Stop friggin’ looking at us.

I decided to avoid the sick perv, and the third part of the party started, the CAKE! It was so DELICIOUS! it was orange from the thick layer of frosting on it, and had this cute spider web theme to it. I gotta tell you, it was THE cake. After that, we took a small trip to the mall and went home. Cary and Sofy went to my house instead of going to their houses, since their parents had difficulty picking them up, and we had yet another party. We played a little bit of the Buffy game, and Sofy took a shower, while Cary just changed. I took a shower as well (Don’t worry, in another bathroom, of course!) and we left for the party. The mother of the girl made fantastic homemade beverages for us, and everything was great! We even got a chance of knowing Cary’s boyfriend a little more! The party ended at midnight and Cary and I went home while we took a little nap in the car.

Saturday was terribly boring to me, since I had to read a 136-paged book, ENTIRELY, since the portuguese teacher told me I had to (Me and some other people) so I missed Halloween, and one of my meetings with Alice *sniff* *sniff*. That was mostly it for my saturday.

And finally, Sunday was great, since I stayed the whole day watching TV and playing video games! WEE HOO!

I know teacher’s day was monday and all, but I’m more inspired today than I was before. I’m feeling real guilty for not giving them a present, so I’m dedicating a post to them. I have 4 favorite teachers this year, and they’re people who I really admire! My message to them:

Baby C: I think I ran out of ways to express how much of a great friend and influence (fine, and teacher) she is! She’s our teacher for 2 years now, and they have been 2 PERFECT years! Thanks Baby C! I’ll never forget you! (Like it or not). Baby C has an amazing way of teaching that involves jokes, entertainment, sharing interests, and including everybody in discussions. These are all great methods when teaching a class, and english is my favorite subject now, because of her! (Yeah, this is how great she is!) Thanks again for the wonderful years!

Tooms: She’s SO cute. Everybody loves her, and just like Baby C, she teaches english in such an amazing way, that the time just flies by, and just being near her radience makes us already so cheery! Even before our first class with her, Sofy had told me how she said the word “fabulous” quite alot, and yes, it’s true. Now, everytime she says the word “fabulous,” Sofy and I glance at each other. Tooms has the cutest laugh I ever heard, and she’s one of the best teachers I ever had. Her projects are super fun, and so is her class! Tooms, thanks for everything! (Oh yeah, she looks like Sarah Jessica Parker’s twin too, only with short hair)

Beebs: She’s our computer teacher, and we always look forward to seeing her during the day. She’s SO funny, and her classes aren’t ONLY classes, they seem to be musicals as well, since she walks around singing various songs out of the blue, which makes her a little weird, and that’s part of her humor! The weirdest, yet funniest teacher! Beebs, I don’t imagine computer class without you! Your classes are THE BEST, don’t ever change, and thank you for the best first months in 8th grade that we could have!

Mrs. Hogan: She is a teacher who has alot of pacience, and a wonderful heart! I love the way she teaches, since she always makes sure we understand everything, she makes everything so clear, and doesn’t make us ashamed of asking any kind of questions, silly or not, she answers them extreme seriousness and gives an explaination that makes anything easy! Math is VERY easy when you have classes with her! Thank you Mrs. Hogan! You’re the best math teacher in the world!

Here’s a video I’ve been wanting to upload for a long time, and I’d love for y’all to listen to the song, it’s very beautiful! Here’s There She Goes by Sixpence None The Richer! In the name of all the best teachers:

I guess most of you know my favorite actress in the world is Sarah Michelle Gellar (Especially since my “Sarah Michelle Gellar” post is one of the posts that cause most traffic until today) and I was watching her commercial for “Burger King” when she was 4, and believe me, she is the cutest, beautifullest, adorable-est, lovable, (Any other adjectve in that genre)-est girl I have ever seen! My favorite part is when she says “Unbelieeeeevable,” it’s the CUTEST (Yep, capitalized and all) thing! I recommend every single human being watching this video, it’s gonna make you smile and want to take her from the computer and keep her as a little sister!

There are two videos, the “Burger King” one and the holiday “Burger King” one, and her they are:

Burger King:

Burger King Holiday:

Angra dos Reis wasn’t THAT bad, since the previous post. After we left the hotel in Angra dos Reis, we went to Paraty, some city near Angra. The hotel was real cute, it had these little houses surrounding the pool, like as if it were a little town. These houses were the places where we were gonna sleep! My room had:

1 living room
2 bedrooms
2 bathrooms
And it was real beautiful.

I even bought an ear piercing over there, don’t worry, y’all, it’s a pressure earing. The piercing is a pressure one, it’s a little sword with this little thing behind it, which pushed a little part of your ear up, and you just have to clip it on your ear and it looks SO much like like the sword is piercing through our ear!

Even though these things happened, and they were real good, the biggest highlight was how RUDE (Yep, capitalized and all) the people in Paraty are. Here are all the events that back up m statement:

1. When I was ordering an ice cream in this weird italian ice cream store, I didn’t really know how to pronounce the ice cream I wanted, so I said whatever I thought it was. The two giys at the counter started to laugh and mock me until I got the bitter ice cream and left.

2. Later on that day, we were having pizza at this restaurant and I was in the bathroom when the waiter came. I came back to the table and the waiter was looking at me, so I asked “What?” and he screamed at me, saying “Are you gonna order or not?!”

3. We were coming back to Campinas when we stopped at some little lunch place, named “Fazendão.” When I got out of the bathroom (Which apparently, is the source of all our problems) I saw Renato crying. When I came up to him, he told us that some boys from the other school started to ask Renato if he was a female. But that’s not the worst part, they were teasing Daniel because he was chinese. I told Pamela about it and she went to the monitor of the other school and told her everything. She made all the boys apologize to Renato and Daniel.

Even though things like this happened, the trip was alright, nothing incredible, but it was okay.

So far, Angra had its highs and lows and lows and lows. First, the bus. We were only able to watch one of my twelve movies because the teachers wanted to watch some stupid, boring movies that weren’t sad, nor funny, they only had afro-haired people and a white ball with red lips on it, and apparently, that “thing” is a woman. We met this very cool monitor, “Peteca,” or “Milena,” which is her real name, but we call her “Petchy.” One of the boys, Renato fell in love with a dog, which he had to leave because we were leaving the island they first met, but before, they had broken up because the dog smelled real bad.

 It’s been a very good trip, other than the fact that we were called spoiled and unploite but one of the monitors individualy. I had to stay the whole time in this weird ship, I don’t swim, so the whole day, I just stared at people do that (And I ain’t regretin’ anything) but I just wish I brought SOME source of entertainment, I have hours to kill, and the only thing I can do is watch Sofy watch movies, which isn’t interesting at all, especially when she’s watching “How I Met Your Mother,” which I don’t know.

Oh! and we kidnapped a cat and named it “Milena” after the friend we met here! She was so cute, and just like Renato’s dog-friend, we had to leave her in the island. Today we had to go on these little chair thingies to get to the boat, and they’re SO cool, I could go on them all day long, the view is so cool, and this girl, Talita almost got her foot stuck on a truck that was passing by, so it’s a bonus to laugh at her possible incident. Well, that’s pretty much it… We got scared from the Grudge 2 movie and Renato got scared of his own reflection on the window. I have to go, I’m paying for the internet and I took 21 minutes writing this post… Bye (Oh, and Baby C, if you’re readin’ this, you should be ashamed of your back-commenting)

Tomorrow, I’m going on a trip with my class to a place named “Angra dos Reis,” in “Rio de Janeiro.” We’re stain’ there for 5 days.

Today I did not have time to do anything BUT focus on the trip (And watch “The Nanny,” but that’s not the point). I’m now arranging my clothes my perfumes, and all the hygiene products into my bag, ’cause I’ve already took care of all the entertainment-related objects… Now, just so y’all know the sacrifice I had to go through to get “The Grudge 2,” I’ll tell y’all the story:

First, as soon as my mother got home (10 minutes after I had gotten home) I already told her: “Mom, lets go out, cut my hair and later we gotta buy “The Grudge 2″ and she told me that it was OK. Later, I had to remove the stitches in my back becuase I removed a mole, and get my father in the way (Since he’s a doctor in the hospital, he’s an oncologist!) so then, I only cut my hair some time later, at about 6:00 p.m. Then, my father needed to go to the bathroom, and we rushed home, my mother and I had to leave again to get my sister, since she was waiting for my dog’s surgery to be completed (Yep, Nina had a surgery). It was THEN that we started to look for “Kayako” (You’d understand the joke if you saw the movie). I was sure that it was for sale in “Iguatemi,” a mall very far away from my house, but my mother didn’t want to go all the way there. We went to “100% Video,” a video store near my house, but the problem is that they only sell old movies, their specialty is renting. So, after the failure at “100% Video,” I started to argue with my mother because she didn’t want to go to “Iguatemi,” and I told her a week ago that we’d be going there, but she kept on saying how she was tired and all. I, the naive little boy, told her that it’s OK, there’s always a tomorrow. Today I got stressed since today IS tomorrow. I guess she felt guilty for that, and she deicded she wanted to buy it for me (Aw, mom, I love ya, baby!) We were so desparate that we ended up at a video store also very close to my house, which is SO bad, that the only places that they have videos is against the short walls of the store, guess what? It ended out to be better than any other, I asked the woman if she had the video, and she pointed straight to the shelf where it was found. Immediatly, birds sang and twirled around it, while this holy light from god appeared from it peremeter and ribbons flew everywhere. I immediatly got the video and bought it, and now, here it is, ready to go travelin’!

I’m SO looking forward to the trip, I hope I have tons of fun with the best friends EVER! I love y’all! Now, I gotta sleep, ’cause wakin’ up at 5:00 a.m. ain’t somethin’ pleasent!
