Hi,

Its been quite sometime since I don't post here. Anyway, the main reason of this post is to check if someone can help me with a song.

I'm with a really crappy HD right now, and I'd like to download two songs without having to download the entire discography.

It would be these two songs: crazy, from both seal and alanis morissete. Call me faggot but I listened this song the other day and really liked it lol :D. If anyone has them and is willing to send me or something plz let me know

Anyway, things has been quite nice for me lately, except that I'm so fucking busy and can't really focus much on lp or my other job because of college. I'm in the middle of a week exam and have to both study a lot for the exams and deliver some paperwork to the professors. Two of those are 20pages work, so I have to focus a lot on that.

I'm also posting the newsblog about the WSOP and believe me or not it can take up to 40min or 1h in order to write those posts. Of course I could write anything in 5min and post, but I like to read everything about each event from a lot of sites, so I can have more information about the event, what happened etc. And also I don't wanna make mistakes so I like to confirm what I read.

Besides that I have an obvious lack of english vocabulary so it takes more time for me to write those posts than it would take for other person. Apart from that I think I'm doing ok, and I'm really having a lot of fun reading about every event. This way I'm getting to know a little bit of the poker scene, as I'm new to it. 3 months ago I didn't know anyone, had to be asking for good players name all the time (still do, but a bit less now hahaha).

Anyway I'll finish this post with some pics I got from the trip I made last year to Fernando de Noronha (a paradise island i visited, even made a post about it by the time). If you have opportunity to come and visit, do. It's awesome and not as expensive as other paradise islands.

Thanks for reading. This post was intended to be a lot shorter. But if you've read this all and have those songs I mentioned, plz contact me!

Forgot the name of this beach


Praia do Sancho (Sancho Beach)


Praia do Sancho from another angle. You have to step down some stairs in order to enter the water. There are 2 6m vertical stairs, and then some really weird stairs, but it's 100% worth it!


that stone reminded me very much of egypt by the time I took the picture. Looked like those hats they used, don't know how to explain.


sunset. all you need is: chair, beer, company. then you can relax and enjoy.


every idiot takes a picture like that. I think 92% of the people that go to that place take a picture like that. I liked it tho =]

Yesterday I played the 1st tennis match of my life. It was a 1 set match, in club-tourney, but instead of the usual "who wins 6 games first" rule, it was "who wins 8 games first".

It was a disgrace. I practise tennis for 5 months now, lost 8-2 T__T. Since I have very little experience other than practise sessions, I was very unused to the speed of his serve. Couldn't return his 1st serve for shit. All I could do was to hope he would miss the 1st serve. It happened a lot tho, but I still couldn't take advantage of his crappy 2nd serve.

I felt I was much better player than him, except that I got so nervous I was missing everything. I mean I wasn't shaking, feeling cold or anything like that. It's just that my ball wasn't going the right way and I started feeling if I hit it harder I'd miss it, so I was hitting very weakly on the ball.

I wouldn't mind losing 8-2 if I played my best. I'm just kinda sad because I played terribly and the guy was way worse than me. Well he serves much better than me tho.

On Poker: I was doing pretty well playing 5$ HU until yesterday. After I arrived tennis I decided to play poker, and for the first time I lost like 6 in a row, and was getting sucked out all the time. Like losing AKs vs 79o, KK vs T5, A8 vs 23, anyway, every sort of defeat that frustrates you.

Anyway, I fishly tilted so bad that I fishly did something I don't want to talk about because it doesn't make me happy and ended up losing the $183 I slowly built from playing headsup.

I guess now I won't "lose" time with poker. Maybe in a couple of months I'll sign for some LP promo and have some fun again with poker. Especially now that Pinball said he would be my coach and follow up closely my game until I become a winning player, all of this for free. Ei Erik no need to block me on MSN I'm just kidding hehe.

I arrived yesterday from a trip to Belo Horizonte, Brazil. I went there to visit my nephew, who is 5 months old now and of course get to know a bit of the city.

First day sucked. Our plane had connections, and the woman from desk service made a huge mistake by sending forgeting to mark "connection" on our luggage tickets. So the bags and etc stopped in the conection city, instead of heading to Belo HOrizonte. There were three bags, we received two on the 2nd day, and one on the third day. It sucked because we spent four days there, so most of it without our bags.

Anyway, we survived because we were at my sister's house, so we didn't need to buy new stuff. (ach I just lost a HU because I completely and suddenly felt like no playing and just did a lot of stupid plays in a row to quit fast).

There was this guy named Fabiano who was really cool. He works for my brother-in-law and did him this favour of showing us the city. He was like a tourist guide, showing places and telling histories about the city, how it grew up so fast and etc.

He drove us to one of the highest point of the city, we could see everything from there. You can see the pic of the view here:

Not that beautiful if you are too much into 'nature' stuff, but it's a powerful view, it was nice seeing the sun (behind the clouds ) go down and watching the lights turning on everywhere.

I also got to watch a football match of our 1st division, Cruzeiro vs Botafogo, in one of the biggest stadiums of Brazil, Mineirao. It was really cool, it's very different from watching home. They are singing and cursing the referee the whole time.

I like football a lot but don't watch many games in the stadium because the team of my city doesn't even play ANY national level game. It sucks so much that it can't qualify for the 3rd division. Disgusting.

I'll stop this post here and come back later, have work to do.

I'll talk about the dream later in this post.

First the poker part. If you read my blog before you probably know that I don't play poker. But lately I signed up for the CDPoker promo and starting playing 5$ heads up. Not very smart for a beginner. The problem is that I can't stand cash games, and I'm not much of a fun of SNGs too, so all I have left are HU and Tourneys, that I really like.

So I decided to play HU only the enough for be able to play HU. You know, I don't care if I win/lose in a 50/50 rate, I just want to keep the 50$ there. But since I started playing I think i've won like 20 HU and lost 2. I pretty much know that, since I'm not a good player, it's probably because the tides are at my favour atm, but I'll probably lose more and even stuff eventually.

I like HU because of the mind game between you and the other player. It's funny how most of them start really aggressive until you win a big pot. Then they slowdown a lot their play and you kinda put them under control. That's I like about it. Except when I feel intimidated hehe, then I try to clean my thoughts and play a bit agressive.

The dream

I started learning dutch a couple weeks ago. Actually, teaching myself dutch, according to one of the book's title. Ik heet Antoniel, Ik kom uit Brazil. So, if you read a bit about dutch language, you know that their G is sick hard to pronounce. Looks like you are scratching your throat. What I didn't know is that their G also have a sound other than this one.

Then in one of the lessons there was the word 'Engelsman' and I start thinking to myself how would be if the G sound of Engelsman was like the 'throat scratching' sound.

So, in my dream (finally) I went to a CHURCH, where they were teaching DEAF people how to play POKER, to ask a teacher how was the sound of that G. She said it was like 'throat scratching' (she was wrong lol).

Today I talked to joy aka meat about it and he taught me how to pronounce that. Not hard but I'm still doing it wrong hehe.

Anyway, dutch soo hard, when I'm trying to read texts I get kinda unmotivated because of how complicated the words look, but I guess with time they will be more familiar to me.

One thing that made me 'happy' was that meat said my pronounciation is good for someone who just started learning the language, so it's a positive thing.

Thursday I'm going to visit my sister and nephew in Belo Horizonte. My nephew has 5 months now I never saw him. Nice that I'm also going to meet some internet friends and of course get to know the city. I heard the city is kinda cold, so that's a plus in my opinion. Let's see how that goes

Damn I'm so tired right now. I really want my vacation time to arrive soon. I don't think I can continue like this for many more time.

Right now I have two job, thanks god I love both. But I'm quitting the one in the tourism agency to start working with advocacy in my father's office.

My 'side' job, that I really like, is liquidpoker. I doing some services for the brazilian site, like translations (lot's of them), taking care of the forums, trying to come up with new stuff and other things to make the site more attractive for whoever visits it. I'm probably going to do some minor stuff for lp.net as well, but the focus is the brazilian one.

I'm glad because like 1 month ago the site was kinda dead, it had visitors but they pretty much didn't post. Now they are posting a little bit more. Not as much as I'd like them to, but I'm definitely with good hopes for the best.

Appart from those two jobs I study law and practise tennis and tai chi (iaaaaa!). So everyday I get up 5h30am, then alternatively practise tennis/taichi. After that I prepare breakfast for my family, and study or do some stuff for the site. Then I head to the tourism agency and stay there until 2pm. After that I go home and do stuff for the site again. Around 6h30 our 7pm I go to college. When I arrive home around 10pm I do some more stuff for the site or study for college, depending on the needs. Then I sleep and wake up at 05h30 again.

The problem is that I can't really control myself to sleep at like 10h30pm or 11pm. I usually go to sleep by 12. Then it's a vicious exhausting circle that I don't know how to stop.

On top of that, on the weekends I'm so fucking used to waking up early that even if I arrive 4am from a party I wake up at MAXXXXXXXXXXXX 10am. And If I don't go out I wake up 6h30 or 7am. It's sick. I mean, I really like all the things I do, but it's so exhausting.

When I move from the tourism job to the office job I'm definitely going to have more time for myself, and a little rest too, because I won't have a rigid schedule on the law office.

Last week has been great funwise. There was an event that lasted a week called FENART in my city. So lot's of parties everyday (yes, instead of working/studying after college I went to FENART). Had lot's of fun with my friends. It's so fucking funny to hang with them.

One of them tolds us this history:

He was together with his brother buying some dvd's in a small box on the street. It was a "DVD store". Okei, little after an oldman (you can pic him like this) arrived and asked:

Oldman - Hey, you have DVDs?
owner of store - yes. Hold on a sec. I'm talking to these two guys and right after I talk to you.
(my friend looks back to check out the man and goes back to looking for dvds)
Oldman - Ok, no problem!
*** 30 sec later***
Oldman - you have porn?
(my friend stops, looks back once again, and check the oldman from top to bottom)
Owner - Yes. Just a minute please.
Oldman - ok, no problem!
*** 30sec later***
Oldman - With animals?
(my friend can't believe what he hears and look at nowhere, thanking god for the unbelievable story he has now, so he to tell others)
Owner - Only with dogs
Oldman - Mann! This thing is so good!
owner (talking to my friend) - Can you believe :D? A dog fucking a woman!

this story is obviously more fun in portuguese, I cried listening to this.

DONE. This post got so much bigger than I ever thought it would, I don't know why I post this since it has no poker in the middle, but ya, nice to share this stuff once in a while.

So it's been an year since I went to this beach of the post below. It's fucking awesome there. If you wanna go to a paradise beach without spendind what you would spend in Caribe for example, then go to Fernando de Noronha in Brazil.

I'm not studying as much as I'd like to. I'm very very very busy right now, but things are going to get better around may, when I'm quitting my current job (I work in a tourism agency) to focus on college, working with my father and working for lpnet.

Ya, I started doing some work for lpnet a couple weeks ago, and hopefully I'm gonna be able to help them as planned.

Dunno if I'll post again soon but I felt like doing so today and thats it.

Hi.

It's been a long time since I don't post here, so I decided to update something for myself. I'm not studying as much as I thought I would be, as I mentioned in one of the posts below, I'm still studying well though. My life will change a little bit in the upcoming months I think. First of all, I'm changing jobs. One of my sister is opening a business and I'm going to work with her on it, I hope everything will work out great, my money will depend on that

Maybe another sister of me will move out. She is about to marry and I'll now, maybe, live only with my parents. I have 3 sister and my house was once full of people. There were 7 living in the same place, counting one uncle/brother I have. Now there will be, oficially, once 3. It's nice but it also gives me some nostalgia . I said oficially because my sisters keep visiting us, which is great because two of them have kids, and we get to see some new energy kidding and making us laugh everywhere.

So yeah, I think that is it. Next week I'm going to travel to a paradise beach in Brazil (I live here ) called Fernando de Noronha, it's actually a very beautiful 'complex' of Islands. I'll try to post some images here (heavy pics):









Done! Visit Brazil people! GL and Peace!

So I thought about writing in english once again. This was a nice week, I only had 3 days of classes in the university instead of the usual 5. Carnival started in Brazil so people are travelling everywhere. I wish I could travel far away this carnival but I can't, not enough money right now.

Roger Waters (of Pink Floyd) will play in Brazil in march, and I'm pretty much dying to go there, but again I'll be stopped by the lack of green paper, god that sucks. I hope I can at least gather enough money to go to Sao Paulo in the middle of the year to watch my team win the Libertadores (south american version of Champions League).

I had a friend staying in my house this week. He is cousin of my cousin's husband, and stayed for 4 days. Pretty nice guy. He is travelling down the brazilian coast, visiting many cities in a small amount of time, meeting many places and people. That's something I'd like to do in the future, but since I have a girlfriend it's more difficult. Maybe I can do it with her, who knows?

I went to a weird but fun party yesterday. You dress like if you were in the 80's and in a really ugly way. Many many people were there, like 120k people, and they only play the really bad musics from the 80's and beginning of 90's. Just like in the first (top) picture of this newspaper: http://www.correiodaparaiba.com.br/foto.capa.png

that's it, I hope I can have a nice, peaceful and fun carnival!

not much to say, but i'm quite happy because 2nd part of the "negotiation" I posted some days ago went really well. I got what I wanted in a nice talk with the guy. Besides this was also good for me because I was kinda worried with it, and since i'm somewhat of a shy person I was a little bit afraid the negotiation would not turn out ok, but it did :D

err, I'm also very motivated toward my studies this semester, I started studying every single day since monday (after the disaster of the competition last sunday), and I can pretty much feel it is getting 'incorporated' to my daily routine, I hope I can keep it up until the mid of the year, take some rest, and restart until december. There are some important competitions for me this year, one that i'm really looking forward to is coming soon, feb. 9, there is an exam that can cut off 50% of my expenses with the college (50% of the monthly fee).

thats it, bye.

I don't really have anythign worthy to say. Hm, this week I got backstabbed by myself. I completely forgot I had a job competition tomorrow (sunday mourning), and got tickets for the VIP section of a nice Concert that is taking place in my town tonight (saturday night). So yeah I got really happy with that ticket (it was more like a bracelet), but then found out I could not use it due to the stupid competition.

To make it worse, I didn't study shit . I think I'm going to use my frustration of not studying to this competition to learn something and never do the same shit (not study) again.

On a side note, more of a daily thing.. these days I joined the elevator with some old woman, then I said something like "mourning" or "good evening" don't really remember. But she didn't reply. I don't know how this kind of thing work in other countries than Brazil, but here we have the habit of saying hello to people inside the elevator, and OMG how can she, or any other person, not reply??? That's the minimum you can do "good mourning" back or something. How weird.

Btw, about the competition tomorrow, the only good thing is that I think I'll be able to watch the big final of Australian Open, but that REALLY doesn't make up for not being able to go to the concert . So sad, I can't abuse the VIP and it's open bar, I'm gonna cry.

bye
