Keeping up and back on!!!

Wow it has definitely been a long time since i have done anything on this virtual pages, and while checking my old posts out i kept thinking of the purpose that they served.

Well pretty much since i was a kid i have always thought life was a ride to be cheered and remembered,
I mean, you wanna do many things before you´re off from this journey, and looking back on the things i wrote and the pictures I've taken has always made me nostalgic, through them i´m able to relieve the feeling i had while i went through the experience that culminated in either one of those, more than that i like to be able to tell on my tales of life to my kids and whomever i come to meet in this wonderful thing called life.

I´m a bit faulty i might say, for i have left so many of those moments go by without writing or shoot a pic for the past couple of years compared to how much i used to do when i was travelling by myself, but i intend to regain that part of me from here on, back to same idea i had when i started this blog i need to write down at least on post a week from here on.

A few things that happened after my last post
- I came back to live in my country
- Met the most important person who would come to be my fiancee, and soon to be my wife
- Worked on an oil platform and had the first of many helicopter flights of my life
- Moved on to working as a manager on my field of work
- Left my city RIO DE JANEIRO to live in São Paulo (Which didn´t worked out very well)
- Got to say goodbye to a huge person that meant a lot to me, my grandma, may she rest in peace
- Got to say goodbye to a beautiful companion that was my little Dog Bob

Now i´m back to Rio, unemployed but i have my fiancee (Tati) and i´m living at her house with her awesome family, soon we´ll be renewing a part of the house that is not used to turn it into our place and with all the ideas we have i´m pretty sure is gonna look nice, last but not least as Tati is half japanese she´s been teaching me the language i have most wanted to learn, and in time for when we have our kids to be able to talk to them in all the languages we speak in order for them to be polyglots from child hood hehe.

That´s all for now, feel free to read if you want but this is nothing more than a journal of my life!!!

On valentines day my GF gave to me......

Last Sunday on Valentines day(for us in Brazil is a different date), i took my girlfriend to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 4, which by the way i thought it was pretty good, and thought that Johnny depp oughta be one of the best actors there is, he's is definitely one of my favorites.

The guy simply created one of the most memorable characters of all times, Capt. Jack Sparrow is full of personality, unique, and  even though he was not the one that wrote the character, he was the one that gave him life in his own way. I'll be drawing a piece on Jack Sparrow soon.

Another good thing that happen to me on Valentines day was my gift, or rather the gift i was given by my girlfriend Tatiana Yu, check it out it another of those favorite characters of movies!


Predator rulez big time, my favorite alien character for sure, the pic was done by me, using a plants vase on my "front yard" !

Cheers to all!

Time goes by and life goes on!

Happy birthday to me hehe!

    Not much is going on in my life at the moment, apart from a beautiful girl i'm going out with, i still don't have a job, i have a cold since last week, but as i said before life is a collection of good and bad moments and i believe that if i'm going through a rough patch now, things will get better soon!


By the way the one on the pic is me, unfortunately the Vader's armor is not mine was just borrowed for the pic itself, The lightsaber was done on Photoshop!



Cheers!

Happy geek pride day!

Well i was just informed by a friend this morning( 25/05 ) that today was Geek pride day, i was unaware that we had a pride day, hehe, i mean it does make sense as being a geek nowadays is sort of in "fashion" right?!

I am and have always been a geek, and very proud of being one, grew up watching cartoons, anime, reading manga and comic books, I still read them, instead of playing with toys i collect them now, mostly action figures that are statue like, but mainly i have always stood by the stuff i liked because i never felt like denying who i was, and today i can celebrate it as another geek around the world hehe!

Cheers folks!

Live up your goals!!!

Kia ora folks,

    I know i know it has been a very long time and no post, there are times that we feel like nothing interesting is happening in our life and therefore, we don't feel like writing or doing much, it's a bit of a vicious cycle...
 ...that is not the case here. As a matter of fact i had a lot going on. My last few months in New Zealand and the start of my new life back in Brazil.


    Travelling is my life, it defines who i am and so far it has been 35 countries, 3 continents, thousands of liters of beer, wine, kilos (or Pounds) of various food, several kilometers (or miles) driven, flown, sailed, on tracks, pedaled, walked, ran, hiked, climbed, handstands in famous places, people met, fancy cars, jet skies in beautiful paradisiac beaches, expensive night clubs, extreme sports, concerts. Played with all seasons within their proper weather, snowboarding in Colorado during winter, biking on the reddish Central Park during autumn, snorkeling on crystal blue Caribbean waters on a hot summer day, going for a run up the mountains breathing clear springtime air in Akaroa NZ, natural disasters such as earthquakes, tropical storms at sea, hurricane storms, hail, snow storms, cyclones, bad rain and lightening, bruises, smiles, pain, relief, happiness, memories, moments good or bad, the list is almost endless.
 
   Trying to write all of it down, makes me think how wonderful and much like a Hollywood movie my life as been, i'm not rich financially and yet i was able to do sooooo much that made me rich on the inside, i have achieved most of my goals, a total of 20 % of the world, and from here on i'll be working on settling my life on my biggest dream;  ARTS, by getting involved in courses, and getting to know people with the same interest.


    I still intend to do some travelling, my new goal towards travels is to be in all of the five continents (not counting Antarctica) before i reach my 35th year, i'm 16 days away from my 27th birthday which gives me about 8 years to visit Africa and Asia, ahhh and also to learn Italian and French hehe.

Folks now i'm back to my online "duties", i'll be posting new journals here and drawings on DA, so tag along if you like and share my perspective of life, leave a comment if possible!

C ya!!!
