that window & things about Me
I'd just arrived in our room at the hotel in Buenos Aires after a long day out and about, saw that beautiful light that was it! I changed quickly, set the camera on the tripod, timer and clicKs! I wanted to throw myself in bed and just relax for a little while, I'm glad I didn't, this turned out to be one of my favorite self portraits so far.

1- I love my Family, I miss my late Dad every day, still learning to deal with his passing away.
I was born in Niterói/Rj, where most of my family lives. I've lived in 5 cities, Curitiba is the one I've been longer. I lived in Foz do Iguaçu from 10 to 18 years old, I grew up on a condominium by Paraná river, among children of Egineers who came from all over Brazil, to help make Itaipu Binacional happen. My father was one of them.
I had cool wonder years, living close to nature, friends with people with different accents and stories. Every year I had to say good-bye to a good friend though. I'm still in touch with some of them, it seems we all share the same feelings about those unforgettable times.
2- I value friendship, often put myself in other people shoes, I can be counted on. When I make a mistake I apologize, if I realize I'm wrong I admit it.
I like talking, I'm a good listener too. If a friend "screws up" in something important, I'm honest about my opinion, I don't pretend I agree just because we are friends. Friends often come to me when they are facing difficult times.
3- I love music, meaningful happenings in my life have their own soundtrack in my head. I usually have goose bumps when I listen to a song I love.
4- I love dancing, sometimes, while I'm working on the compter, I put a song I like, turn up the volume and dance for a couple of minutes, let my body move with the rhythm, it helps me relax and focus. Once in a while I feel like going to a party and Dance, it's been rare dancing songs I really like, when it happens I dance with my soul and body.
5- I'm a light sleeper, wake up easily, usually sleep with 3 pillows and a fan on, I connect with the sound of the fan or air conditioning. I love when I have the opportunity to fall asleep listening to the sound of waves or falls.
6- I love walking, I walk pretty fast, I like walking on beaches and parks. I'm always barefoot at home, I love it on the beach, grass, everywhere it feels good! I also love shoes, if I could I'd have hundreds!
7- I'm a peaceful person, I don't mess around with others, I don't like to be messed around. If I need to stand up for myself and the ones I care about, I certainly Do. If somebody tries to screw me, act in a mean way, tells lies about me, things like that, I'll keep the person away from me.
It usually takes a lot to make me furious, if it happens it can get tempestuous, one wouldn't want to be around, I rarely get to this point, I do my best not to.
I'm myself wherever I am.
I'm not a fan of people who one day act like a friend and the other like they don't know you, and lame attitudes alike. Not a fan of those who are always trying to take advantage of others either. I dislike when people are Rude.
8- Travelling is one of the things I love the most, there are so many places, countries I'd like to visit. I wish every 3/4 months I could travel to places I want to, that would be awesome!!
9- I dream a lot when I'm sleeping, sometimes it feels I go to other dimensions, many dreams are so vivid, real, some seem to last so long that they feel like a movie. From 6 years old till when I was around 11, every time I had a nightmare I would scream "POTENCY" and would wake up immediately, one day this word stopped working. Nowadays when a dream is horrible I manage to wake up somehow. I could write many lines just about dreams I've had all my life. Some of them are like a warning, when I dream about dirty water (and other particular things) bad news/things are on the way. I've had 2 serious premonition dreams, It's been a long time since the last one.
10- I love animals, we used to have cats and dogs all my life, after the last one died, we haven't had any but I miss them a lot. I can't understand why some people are cruel to animals.
11- I' m a romantic person, I believe in love. I like holding hands, kissing, cuddling, hugging. I have no problem in showing my affection to the ones I love/like. Words are important to me but Attitudes are More Important.
12- I love movies, going to the theaters, eating popcorn while watching a good movie. I often cry, have goose bumps when a beautiful scene touches me.
13- I read very fast, when I have time I read many books in a row. I love reading on the beach, under a sun umbrella.
14- I love good food, going to good restaurants, love it! I like spicy food, mixing salt with sweet, I like almost everything! including candies, cakes, merengues, chocolate, ice cream... I'm a little "ant"! I like cooking but I haven't had any time to cook.
15- "Looks can be Deceiving", what I value the most in people: Character, Ethic, sense of Friendship, Consideration, Honesty, Sincerity, Loyalty, Goodness. I cannot stand arrogance, envy. The more I grow older the more selective I've become about people in my personal life.
16- Violence in general, evil... these things scare me.
... I'm a slow typist, not good at typing! which means it took me a while to type this list!
I could go on, but I've passed the 16 things quite some time ago... :~)
