half way...
I've been here in Brazil for almost 11 weeks now and there are only 12 weeks left... so I can say that I'm starting the second half of my 'Brazilian adventure'....
I remember that last year at that time I had no idea that I would have a chance of going to Brazil although going to South America and living there for some time has been always one of my biggest dreams...But dreams are just dream and some of them never come true...This time it was different... I think that if you believe in yourself, if you believe in your luck, if you do your best and if you have some faith something like 'the impossible' just doesn't exist..:)
So now I'm here in Sao Jose.. living, learning a lot at work, experiencing things, getting to know others, getting to know myself.... There have been great and amazing moments so far... very happy moments... Of course, I 've had my ups and downs but nevertheless I strongly believe that everything happens for some reason even if I I don't know that reason yet...
It's just good to remember what someone once said ' if something doesn't kill you it will make you stronger..'
Lucky are those who know how to take the rough with the smooth..I'm still learning that... But what I 've learnt so far is that I know how to appreciate every single moment in my life... this is what everyone should do..:)
And the last thing .. what makes every place so special are the people... the people who are your friends no matter what... the friends whose smile and presence give you joy... the friends who sahre with you not only good moments.. the friends who care... Lindsey, thank you for being here for me..:)
I hope those next 12 weeks will be full of nice surprises and unforgettable moments... You never know what may happen...life is so unpredictable...

Moni, believe me or not by I know very well what you mean with appreciating every single moment of your life. Recently I have realized that I have only 1 month left in India and I'm going crazy trying to organize the time as well as I can. The rain here (monsoon time) can easily spoil your plans but still, I enjoy the stay very much. We are all learning much away from home, aren't we? Your thoughts here are so deep. We open ourselves so much right here - our blogs, etc. This must be effect of starting to begin to understand some other things. All that you write here is close to my heart as I go through similar emotions. I'm sure that the second part of your stay in Brasil will be also wonderful if not better;)I keep my fingers crossed!kisses!

Minia. Widzę że u Ciebie wszystko dobrze. Ja dostałam kolejną pracę w szkole pomaturalnej. Żadne rarytasy (finansowe), ale wyzywanie językowe że hej (i dobrze, dośc nauki o kotkach i pieskach, pora na logistykę i turystykę po angielsku). Mam też 3 godziny korków w tygodniu (mąż koleżanki z pracy i była uczennica). Jak się tak wszystko połączy to troszkę więcej niż 1000zł miesięcznie wyciągnę, więc nawet jak troszkę poszaleję (a chciałam zauważyć, że póki co nie mam z kim), to i tak sporo mi zostanie (bo nie jestem aż tak nawiedzona by wydawać kasę na prawo i lewo).
Sprawa z DLC trafiła do syndyka, więc może za jakiś czas odzyskam moje ciężko zapracowane pieniążki.
A jeśli chodzi o Porto, to gdyby Renato był tak miły i odebrał nas z Lizbony to za bilet lotniczy w obie strony zapłacimy ok. 500zł - 600zł(z wszelkimi opłatami lotniczymi itp)!!!
Ja się nie odzywam, bo teraz pracuję 7 dni w tygodniu i padam na ryjek. Rika też siedzi cicho od obrony, ale to już omawiałyśmy.
No a ja od wczoraj mam grypę jelitowo-żołądkową, więc wiesz co jest grane, ale do pracy chodzę (te wstrętne, zasmarkane, kichające i kaszlące małoletnie paskudy mnie zarazily).
Bardzo mi Ciebie brakuje, a ty jeszcze mnie pocieszasz, że 12 tygodni do Twego powrotu... Wytrzymam! Wytrzymam?! Wytrzymam?
Wiesz jak tu smutno bez Ciebie!!!
Jak się pozbieram po chorobie, to postaram się skrobnąć parę słów w tradycyjny sposób. Daj znać, co słychać.
Nasza sieć komórkowa Idea została juz przejęta przez Orange (tydzień temu), ale nic się nie zmieniło (nic taniej, ani drożej, no chyba że dla firm), więc częściej wkładaj polską kartę do telefonu, dobrze?!
Trzymaj się słodko kwiatuszku!!!
Aaaa ja też mam ochotkę na drinka, ale mój żołądek chyba odfrunie :)
Rany już drugi dzień nie jem i jak sobie poczytałam, czym się opychasz, to mnie skręca z... głodu. Cholerna grypa!!!
