1 Week Worth of Posts! Yay!
yup… this one is going to be a big one… heheheh… Partly because I haven’t been inspired to write lately (my book has been suffering because of that for the past 2 months) and partly because I have been either to lazy or to tired to do it…. I blame Virgin Active!!! 
But anyways… here goes a lil resume of the past week! yup… 1 week worth of posts in a very resumed way… hopefully… heheheheh
Let’s get it started…

Saturday: It was mum’s b’day in Kent. After loads of consideration about the best way to commemorate it we all agreed on some brazilian style lunch at mum’s house after vetoing a picnic in some park close to hers because of the weather. From the last post you can read that we left the gym to go to mum’s… well we still stopped to buy me a nice gym kit (2 shirts, 2 shorts, socks, new trainers (the ones I had weren’t appropriated for running or any impact exercise for all that matters), new boxers (apparently mine are falling apart… hey…), and a new belt (one that is not so… social)) and after that we did a quick pit stop at Starbucks to refuel with coffee for the trip to Kent. We made our way through a packed M25 going through 2 diversions and arriving a stunning 2 hour late (the trip should take 45min) to arrive and find out that the picnic idea was back… Vic got furious because she didn’t prepare anything to take for herself (she knew mum would only cook or buy things she can’t it such as cakes, pies, donuts, etc etc etc… and she was right… needless to say hell broke lose… but it was a tiny bit better after she found some apples at the tee shop in Knole Park, Still not a happy bunny because of all the cake etc they had to sell there… but hey).
All in all it was a good day and TB loved to feed the deers (something that mum and Yuska should not have done as they started chasing after them because of the cakes they fed them… after we told them not to do it…
Other thing… needless to say Vic’s not the most outdoorsy sort of person… so she wasn’t impressed by the choice, by the deer or by their poo… lol… women!
On the way back we decided to stop at a fairground on the way back home we’ve been wanting to go for ages (u can see the pics on the album above). It was it’s last week there so we thought WTH… let’s do it. LOADS of fun! My favorite bits were going to the bumpy ride thing with Vic and TB and hear him laughing his head off whenever someone crashed in my car… hehehehe… Loved the last one we’ve been too… the one Vic almost went sick on (see her account of facts here)… and even though I have sustained some war wounds (one of the bullets on target shooting exploded and ended up on my cheek cutting it and making me bleed… well a lot) it was GREAT fun!
Sunday: Trip to Nan Gerda’s (Vic’s grandma). It was uneventful… same as always… LOADS of food… some pocked money for everyone… TB’s goody bag with toys and sweets… only difference was me driving most of the way… and the whole way back. GREAT change from me getting stressed over Vic’s driving (not that she can’t drive… if I say that she’ll cut my balls off) just that I usually get stressed when I’m in the car and SOME people are driving…
Monday: well… it was monday… so no comments there… only good thing is I went to games (disneyland! heheeh) and bought Battlefield Bad Company (half price! yayyy), one extra controller for the X-Box 360 so TB can play Spiderman Friend or Foe with a friend (usually me… but Giovanna was the victim this whole week) and Bionicle The Game. ah… and some peace by the end of the day… TB went to Nanny Lowe’s with Aunty Betty to spend the night… good stuff!
Tuesday: 2 words for you… Gym Induction… Nowhere nearly as painful as I thought it would be… I actually think I’ve coped well with everything the Personal Trainer threw at me! I was going to post my exercise menu… but it is somewhere inside my gym bag… and I don’t really feel like adventuring myself inside of it right now…
Also went to the hub in our first full time work day there. and on my way there I’ve noticed something on one of the tube walls:
A billboard for Tropa de Elite (Elit Squad)… one of my favorite films lately! on cinemas… here!!! COOL! Wanna know what it is about… well see the trailer!!
I know I know… another film portraiting the best side of Brazil… but… WTH… still GREAT! Plus I don;t like Rio anyways… and don’t recommend it to anyone… many many other better places to visit.
I’ve been so long out of Brazil, all over the place, that I don’t consider myself fully brazilian anymore… hell I don’t really consider myself a citizen of anywhere anymore… I like to think of myself as a “Citizen of the World”…. but all it takes is to hear or see great stuff from there shown or spoken about anywhere in the world to make me feel proud of my country again.
Wednesday: I felt the pain of the previous day for the whole day! So much that I couldn’t actually function very well… so much that my day wasn’t very productive… at all…
I did finish the new template for my blog tho! did you like it??? Widgetizing it was A LOT easier than I thought it would be!!!! Only problem is that I could do it only to one column! gave up doing the others after 3 hours trying… heheheehhe still looks cool!!! Next one will be Vic’s… poor thing has been asking me to change hers for ages… I think I’ll try and do it tonight.
Thursday: Took TB to swimm!!! First time in ages. He loved it and so did I! he needs to regain the confidence he used to have when in the watter… but all in all he did fine when I put him to actually swim laps on the kiddo pool (he did cheat a bit by keeping a foot on the bottom once in a while… but hey… hehehe) He now wants to go to the Gym with me at some point… he said he can “help” me exercising… could be FUN!
Today: Woke up first thing in the morning with Tommy sleeping between me and Vic. I don;t remember him getting into our bed… and Vic can;t either… but he woke up there… taking over good part of the bed. then deciding he didn’t want to go to the swimming pool with dad till the time I left to go to the gym at 9am, by when he decided he wanted to go with me. I was forced to leave him behind… have some “me time”. I was told that is more than needed… and as much as it pains me seeing him crying when I leave I know I need it. When I arrived back at home he was fine tho… mum had arrived and he was busy showing her his new X-Box games.
Right after I got home Pitney Bowes guy arrived. Yup… we’re now fully equipped to meet the demand for leaflets, posters, invitations, large range letters and other kinds of prints, meaning we can now print our own booklets and part of our printer material paying half of what we would spend in a year for it. And it means we don;t need a third part to print our brochures for the E-learning programs anymore… and can even offer printing services… cool uh!
Gotta step up on finishing and getting curse coordinators to finish their modules for Global Missions Study Programs (a part of CWI… some of the courses include film making, editing, graphic design, Internet Presence, music, photography, etc… if you’re interested… gi’me a shout! 
hehehe).
Got TB’s uniform!!! And a unjustifiable parking tkt while doing it… I had the PAy and displey thing on the car when the SOB Traffic Warden gave the TKT… and it was Valid. he was VERY lucky I wasn;t there or even… HE wasn;t around when I saw the TKT… he would have been trucidated! I HATE Traffic Wardens… specially thos that thing they can make money out of me without being right… grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! gotta calm down… it is just that just remembering that makes me want to break his/her neck!!
On a brighter note… TB looks soooo cute on his uniform!!! will post pics soon!
Dinner’s ready… me is hungry… Promise not to stay that long without posting again for laziness… hehehe… But if I HAVE to stay away for that long… keep an eye on my twittering!!! They appear right bellow the posts as well so no excuses that you couldn’t find it… heheheheh…
zya soon!!!
