Its my Sunday afternoon and its raining a lot! which is good, really, perfect weather to stay home trying to entertain myself with books, internet and DVDs. Doing everything I can to occupie my mind so time will run and Dec 19th will arrive faster.

I started reading “Shopaholic ties the knot”, Sophie Kinsella. Good.

Also, I was posting at Orkut (www.orkut.com) in a community of brasilian girls married to kiwi guys and two of them think about doing handmade embroided towels to sell. As I told them, artcraft wont get them anywhere (and this is the truth). I suggested to to learn reiki, massage, Bach florals therapy… and start a business as therapists. Very low costs, they can work from home and pretty much everybody is looking for a way to avoid stress.

Today I watched one of my favorite TV shows, which is the australian “Whats Good for You”. Oh! I LOVE thi TV show! You learn so much about pretty much everything that can make your life healthier or could harm you. I love you! I also watched a bit of Jamie Oliver at Home DVDs (my husband gave me the first season) and it just feel so great watching Jamie at his wonderful garden and cooking absolutely gorgeous food! Yummy!

I woke my husband at his 7AM and now he´s off to work. Cant wait to have him online with me, it feels so comforting to have him online. Even if we are not saying anything. Just to see him I feel better.

Well….. I will continue my book now.

, This is my Saturday afternoon and the day has been pretty good so far.

Its very cloudy and cool, which means its perfect for a walk. So, I went to Gavea Mall (havent been there for quite a while) and they have new shops (a couple more just about to open) so it was very good to walk around. Stayed there for like one hour and then walked to another mall Leblon Mall where I spent some time reading books and magazines at a bookshop called Livraria da Travessa and, after that, had a coffee and came back home. Tided few things in my little bedroom and baked two cheese and turkey croissants. Not bad!

Now I am (of course) writing and listening to the radio Paradiso FM (nice song now – its a brasilian guy called Nando Reis).

I am almost finishing the book: “Shopaholic Abroad” (Shopie insella). Its good. Fun, light reading.

I was watching a TV where they interviewed some women who had a career and then they decided to make a big change so they started again and opened a business. Very interesting. Specially one of them who used to work with publicity / marketing and now she owns an Holistic Terapy Center (very close to my father´s place, by the way). The holistic center is called CHI and is pretty much about relaxation, well being, massages, reiki….

I would love to own a business where I could provide those kind of natural therapies, plus astrology, for instance. I think this could be sucessful in New Zealand. Maybe in the future, Cam and I could open a business like this.

Changing subject, I got very shocked when Cam told me about a guy who got stabbed because he tried to help a wman who was being attacked in Central Auckland at daylight….. Oh, my God! Such a terrible thing…. The poor guy, a good samaritan, had a wife and kiddies. I think my husband got shocked as well, because he sent an email to friends (myself included) telling about is ICE contact (his father…). Jesus! I got upset for not being my husband´s ICE contact – but I didnt get upset with Cam, I got upset with the situation of being here in Rio so that I cant be his emergency contact.

To me, its weird to see that a brutal crime like that ould happen in a peaceful country like New Zealand (and I live in Rio…. if you know what I mean), specially in Central Auckland, during the day !!!!!! It makes me wonder… tragedy is probably destiny. I dont know…. when you see a thing like that happening, its hard to believe in God and that there is a “God´s Justice”. Like: why bad things (like terrible things) happen to good people and good things happen to bad people. This is a question with no answer.

BUT there is something I do believe, which is: we always arrive in the exactly place at the exactly time when and where we are expected to be. So, for some very strange cosmic reason, the good samaritan had to die.

I got a cold and it started this week. I have to blow my nose all the time. Its been rainy (which I like) and I hope the weather will stay like this for a while.

My aunties will arrive back in Rio (after 20 days spent between Rom and Paris) this Wednesday and it will be fun meeting them. To hear everything about their trip (and they will be talking at the same time, of course).

Work has been a bit stressful, there are 5 persons on holidays so we are just a couple of persons trying to cope with loads of boring BORING files and angry nasty stupid lawyers. But the ones on holidays will be back next Wednesday and things will finally go back to normal.

Its raining a LOT now. Perfect weather to be snuggling with Cam.  I am daydreaming… Cam & I having a nice relaxing bath togther…

HOW I WISH I COULD TRANSPORT MYLSELF TO CAM´S ARMS……… GOD! I MISS HIM!!!

Its almost time to wake Cam up…..

Almost finishing my book.

This Saturday, 13th of September, was our 2 years and 8 months Anniversary!! And I want to say again and again to my beloved husband that he is the love of my life, that he is my perfect partner, my lover, my love and my very best friend. He is everything to me. May God always look after us and helps us to be living together ASAP!!

By the way, on 16th September, it will be 4 years since we met first time, at Auckland Airport arrivals area. I still remember all the details of that wonderful week we spent together like if it was happening now. Like if I am watching a movie. 4 years! We are so blessed. Since that day, September, 16th of 2004 Cam and I are TOGETHER.

I was thinking about the times when Cam brought me to Auckland Airport to get the plane back to Brasil and also the times when I brought Cam to Rio´s Airport for him to get the plane back to New Zealand. Both options are devastating. We feel absolutely broken hearted and in serious emotional pain every time we have to say “see you soon” to each other at the airports. But, for me, its a bit harder when I am leaving New Zealand to come back to Rio.

Anyway… I am reading “The time traveller´s wife” (its a bit hard for me to sit down and concentrate so I stop and read and stop and continue reading). Its an AMAZING book! Oh my God! Debbie suggested it to me and its one of the best books ever. I kind of relate with the story of the unusual marriage Clare and Henry have because, so far, Cam and I have an unusual marriage because we have to spend time in distance because of our jobs.

Well, I am going to continue my reading….

Hello readers,

This my Saturday afternoon and I miss going to the Aunties, have lunch and talk. They are in Rome now (they will go to Paris after that).

I am feeling a bit depressed today and I am MISSING Cameron so much. Anyway, there is nothing I can do but wait for him to arrive here.

Cam has been working on his garden and its lovely. Here are some pictures:

Very soon my husband will be able to use herbs, spices and vegetables planted in his very own garden. This is so lovely! Of course, I would love to have been there with him and help him to set this beautiful little garden.

I MISS my husband.

Nothing on the TV and the only thing left to do is read a book. Wait for Cam to wake up. But he wont be able  to be online with me because he has to work in the factory.
