Maloqueira internacional.....(ou, canadense da quebrada)
A while back, I said to my mom, "Nóis é tough." If you understand why this (or anything else in this post) is funny, consider yourself bilingual in English and São Paulo slang. She thought it was hilarious and told me to post it on my blog, along with my question and answer to myself during the last election campaign: "Você vai votar em quem?" "Corinthians!" I'm sure Lula would agree with me. To top it off, I recently appeared on TV Corinthians!
Since the World Cup will be opening in São Paulo in the not-too-distant future, and I know my way around Itaquera (home of the new soccer stadium for the opening game, as well as the Corinthians soccer team), I would like to offer my services to all the foreign tourists out there who are in need of a very cute translator/bodyguard. Here are a few of the places and events in Itaquera that I've been to lately; for a small fee, I'll take you to all these fun places between soccer matches!
COHAB José Bonifácio with Artistas Viajantes da Nossa GomaParque Raul Seixas
Garbage clean-up in my party dress! (OK, this isn't Itaquera, but doesn't it prove how sophisticated I am?)
Reggae na Rua in the rain
All this fun thanks to the nice itaquerenses from ALMA Ambiental! Here I am checking out slugs with my friend Nayê, in front of ALMA's office.
But after all this excitement, plus two trains and two buses to get home from Itaquera, I'm one tired kid!

Can't beat the system (a.k.a Justin Bieber mania hits São Paulo)
My mom was chatting with our neighbour, so I sat down in front of the TV in our neighbour's living room.
Returning from the kitchen to find me glued to the TV, my mom said, "Elis, you know you're not allowed to watch TV."
My smart response?
"But it's Justin Bieber!"
He's playing in São Paulo tonight. If only I were thirteen, and not three....

Whitehorse...
Foi corrida minha visita à minha cidade natal, Whitehorse, e não tive tempo para mandar notícias! Então, aqui vão as fotos, todas de uma vez!
A viagem:
Cheguei no Canadá!
36h depois de sair de casa, cheguei na casa do vovô.
E o dia seguinte comecei a fazer amizades....
E aproveitar das coisas legais no Canadá:
A viagem:
Auto-retrato às 5h - Houston, Texas. Não tem fila prioritária para ninguém e demorou un século....Não gostei! |
Pelo menos o trenzinho entre terminais em Houston compensou a má recepção nos Estados Unidos! |
36h depois de sair de casa, cheguei na casa do vovô.
E o dia seguinte comecei a fazer amizades....
E aproveitar das coisas legais no Canadá:
Adoro banho de banheira! |
Amigas da minha mãe - Shauna e Sabine |
Cachecol do Free Store (Brechó gratuito) da estação de coleta de recicláveis |
Urso feroz na margem do Rio Yukon |
Observem meu crachá de guardaparque, do qual eu sou muito orgulhosa! |
Pancakes! |
Cheezie |
Já vi esta cena |
Minha amigua desde nascimento, Mali |
Árvores para subir....preciso treinar! |
Levando a Maggie para o parque |
Andando no trenzinho de Whitehorse |
Chique no último! |
Ajudando o vovô montar a nova churrasqueira |
Brincando na chuva com a Maggie |
Primo Carter |
Priminha Sophie |
Brasileira no desfile do Dia do Canadá (1ro de julho). Foi uns 10 minutos de desfile, mas tudo bem, tentaram.... |
Bagel com cream cheese no Tim Horton´s |
Não falei que sou chique no último? Com meu uniforme de escola particular e salto alto.... |
Fireweed |
Copacabana canadense (Carcross, Yukon) |
Ajudei a arrumar a casa do vovô todos os dias |
Cansei! Preciso de um whiskey....(Meus pais também!) |
E agora, novas aventuras me esperam! (Daqui umas horas, bem cedinho, embarco para Toronto.) Tchau! |

Em fevereiro, tem Carnaval!
Moro em um pais tropical, mas fez frio em São Paulo neste Carnaval de março. Meus pais ficaram trabalhando e não me deixaram fazer nada...então tive que pular Carnaval em casa!
Happy Carnival, everyone! Here's me showing off my samba skills to bad Brazilian pop music! (Note to self - fairy wands and samba are a potentially dangerous combination....)
I was, after all, born on Carnival weekend, 3 years ago....I'd better know a thing or two about samba!
I must say that I've improved a bit since the beginning of my dancing career!
Got to work at it a bit longer before I get to the sambódromo, though....But if these kids can do it, why not me?

3 aninhos!
Wow, I've sure come a long way since that chilly February morning in Whitehorse in 2008. In case you've forgotten, check out these photos:
Birthday (as in, the day I was born!)
First birthday
Second birthday
As of today, I'm 3 years old - can you believe it? If you're in the neighbourhood, why don't you stop by my birthday picnic?
