My Home


There is no place like home. No matter what happens or what you are feeling, coming home is one of the best feelings in the world. At times you can get tired of your home and you just want to get out but after a while you just want to get back home. That is at least how I feel. Sometimes I've been home for a long time so I want to leave and maybe travel or something. However after just a couple of days, no matter how fun the trip is, I can't wait to get home, to my own bed, to my room, etc. My home can be really annoying at times because I get sick of just staying at home doing nothing or being around my family 24/7. But then if I'm gone for a couple of nights, I always miss my home and everything it includes, such as my family. The worst thing about moving around a lot is changing homes and that uncertainty of maybe not liking your new house. But every time I've moved, I have liked my new houses and eventually made it my new home. I think that I can create a new home so easily because as long as I am around my family, it doesn't really matter where I live. I love my home and no matter what I always like coming home to my own things.

Presents


One of the many great things in life is presents. It doesn't really matter whether you are giving or receiving because although they are very different, it's very fun. Let's first talk about receiving presents. It can be on your birthday, christmas or just those random ones any time of the year. It's so exciting to get presents because most of the times you have no idea what they are and opening them is always an adventure. For example, one christmas I got this huge package from my parents. I was small and since the package was soft, I thought it was clothes or something so I immediately thought it would be boring. However when I opened the present it was a big teddy bear. I loved it, not only because it was cute and very nice but because I was happily surprised thinking it would be a "bad" present and it turned out to be the best one that year. Now giving presents is also very amusing. The process of getting a present and just finding the perfect one for the perfect person is a great feeling. I love shopping and as long as it is for someone important, it's great. Especially when you see the person opening the present that you had put a lot of thought behind and they get so happy. It doesn't matter whether I am giving or receiving presents, it is absolutely one of the things that make life better.

Favorite Post: Traveling

Personal/Reflective/Inspirational


There are so many destinations in the world to travel to depending on what you want to experience, or see. Do you want to see animals up close without being in a zoo? Do you want to relax in the sun with the crystal blue water only some meters from your hotel? Do you want to experience real city life? Do you want to go skiing in high, beautiful mountains? Today there are so many places that can satisfy whatever you want to do. Traveling is a great way to see life through a new perspective, learn new things, acknowledge different ideas, meet diverse cultures, etc. I really enjoy traveling because it's a way to learn new things through fun activities, and just get away from my daily routines. I think everybody sometimes have to get away from their usual lives to experience something fresh, and enjoy themselves. I've always appreciated traveling even if at first I'm might be a little reluctant to go to a certain place, such as Pantanal, which is only forest and animals. One of the essential things to have when traveling is an open mind, you have to be open to the new things so that you can really appreciate the whole trip. For example, trying new foods that you could never have imagined eating, or snorkeling in a sea full of sharks. I find it hard to sometimes do these kinds of things but when I do it, I feel so much better afterwards because it has usually been fun and exciting. Traveling is one of the best things in life, and I love it!

Christmas


I had no idea what to write about today although there are so many things in life that makes it better. But while I was thinking, I remembered christmas. I realize it's a little bit off topic since there are still more than 7 months until christmas but whatever. I love christmas because it's like a birthday but better, not only do you get presents but you give. It's always fun to get presents, some things that you were longing for because you knew already what you were getting and others that you had no idea you were going to get. My favorite christmas present of all times (that I can think of now) is when I got this huge Teddy Bear from my parents. I was kind of disappointed before opening because I was young and since the present was soft I thought it would be clothes or something else boring. But when I opened it, it was a big white Teddy Bear with a ribbon on his neck and I LOVED IT. It was the best present ever because it was something that really made me happy and took me by surprise. I really like to give presents as well. It's really exciting to go shopping for presents and finding this perfect thing that you know the receiver will love, those presents that you just can't wait to give. Another thing that I love about christmas is the food. There are so many options and it's so hard not to eat everything. My favorites are meatballs, prinskorvar (kind of like small hot dogs), and janssons frestelse (I don't really know how to explain it but it's like potatoes and fish made in the oven). The absolute best thing about christmas though is getting together with your family. I get to meet my grandmothers, grandfathers, cousins, aunts and uncles and just enjoy some time together. Every christmas is the same thing, at 2 we watch Donald Duck which is this show that is on every christmas with all these different parts of disney movies. After that we eat and then there are presents. I love christmas.

Chocolate


The feeling when really excellent chocolate melts in your mouth is truly amazing. If there is something I really love, it's chocolate but not any chocolate, only the really good ones like Marabou (Swedish chocolate) and Lindt. There are so many varieties of chocolate flavors and sometimes I have a really hard time to choose one that I want because usually they all taste great. For example, take Marabou. They have about 10 different flavors (if not more) and even though I prefer the original milk chocolate, I sometimes want to try another one but then I don't know which one to choose. My favorite flavors when it comes to Marabou and actually any other chocolate is the original milk chocolate because it's simple and just tastes wonderful. The reason that I love chocolate so much is because you can never get tired of it. No matter which flavor you choose, you'll not be disappointed because just the chocolate component makes it awesome. Another reason I really love chocolate is because it can make me happy any day. When I feel stressed, sad, or I am having a really bad day, chocolate is always able to cheer me up. Sometimes just the thought of having chocolate when I come home makes everything a little bit better. It may sound stupid, but chocolate really is one of the things that make life better.

Hotmail

Hotmail is one of the things I can't really live without. It's my way of communicating with others and sending important files and messages. I actually use Hotmail a lot and I consider it a lot better than G-mail or other e-mailing sites. I've used Hotmail since I was little especially because I have moved around a lot and with this site I can continue to keep contact with my friends even if I don't live close to them. Although Facebook has somewhat taken over for Hotmail, I still believe Hotmail makes my life better because I can send files and talk to my teachers, which is really important. Since I've used the site for quite some time, I have seen it evolve and these days it is so modern and easy to use. Hotmail has very good features and it is easy to use. It is easily connected to MSN and all your users from Hotmail are automatically your friends on MSN. It's very easy to organize your mails into different folders and you can search for old mails and find them without much difficulty. One of the best things is that you can put certain mails that come from sites that you don't want as junk mail so that you won't have to keep seeing them and it's faster to delete. Hotmail is a very good e-mailing site and I'm sure I'll continue using it for a long time.

Easter


Easter is one of the best times of the year. You get to meet and spend time with your relatives, and eat lots of excellent food and candy. Since every Easter I can remember my family and I have gone to my grandmother and grandfather's house to have dinner. They always make tons of food and even though we are around 15-20 people, it never gets close to finishing. I get to see my relatives on my mother's side, which include my aunt, her husband, my other aunt and uncle, and of course my six cousins. It's a lot of fun since we don't see each other very often, at least not me and my family because we always lived in different cities. We always have a lot to talk about and catch up, but in the end everybody gets so tired because of all the food consumed. The best part about Easter, though, is getting the easter eggs. In Sweden, we have paper eggs filled with different types of candy and it's so good! All the children get one and even though some of my cousins are over twenty years old, they get just as excited as they used too when they were younger. However these last couple of years, I've lived in Brazil and we haven't gone home for Easter so we have missed some of these dinners and it really sucks. But this Easter my sister and I actually went home, and we ate sooooo much and just had a lot of fun!

Beach


Many people might think that I hate the sun and the warm weather because I always complain about it however I actually love it, as long as I am at the beach. No one likes to go around sweating in school but as long as you are at the beach with the ocean to swim in, the warm weather is very nice. There are many pretty beaches in Brazil and they are really worth visiting because they all have something different to offer. My favorite beaches are Juquehy and Riviera. I really like Juquehy because it is very beautiful, it has good restaurants, fun shopping, and the beach offers a variety of things to do like play sports, etc. The main reason I really like Riviera is that I have many excellent memories from being there with Jéssica but it is also very pretty and it has an awesome shopping. If you live in Brazil, you have to visit the beaches because they are one of the prettiest things Brazil has to offer. I love going to the beach because I get to relax, have fun, swim, spend time with my family, and for many other reasons. The bottom line is that the beach is wonderful and as long as the weather is good, you'll always have something to do instead of just watching TV all day.

Facebook


Facebook is one of the most popular social networking websites right now, and it has over 400 million users. It's a great site for staying in contact with friends, share photos, and see what people are up to, basically a great way to follow others lives. I started using Facebook since about 1 or 2 years ago and in the beginning I barely used it because there were not a lot of people using it. However, now I don't let one day pass without visiting Facebook because there are so many people using it so there are always new status updates and other things. I also use Facebook a lot because I can stay in contact with my friends from Sweden in a very simple and easy way since I can both use Facebook Chat if he or she is online or just send a wallpost for the person to see later if he or she is not. Another reason I really like this site is because it has groups for the user to join and there are some really funny groups that you can join such as "Dear Pringles, I cannot fit my hand into your tube of deliciousness" . I think Facebook is a very modern site and because of it's huge popularity, Facebook will probably continue being used for many years to come.

Happiness

To feel happy is one of the best feelings in the world and it can be caused by many factors. These include getting a new friend, getting a new boyfriend/girlfriend, getting a new family member, seeing your idol, acquiring what you have been longing for, listening to good music, just feeling good, finding out something truly exciting, doing well in school or work, feeling confident, traveling, the list could go on forever. I know that happiness is something everybody wants and some people spend their whole life searching for it, some people find it and some don't. There are many reasons to be happy and I think we all have some, even those people who are pretty miserable can usually feel happy for at least one reason. It is just about being optimistic and trying to see the best that could come out from whatever happens, we can usually see something that is motivation enough to feel happy. Today, for example, I became happy when I realized it was thursday although I thought it was only wednesday. It is a very small thing but just seeing that the week was a little closer to the weekend made my day and made me feel happy. One of the feelings necessary in life is happiness.

House

House is a very famous TV Show, which sixth season is now sending on TV. It's about a doctor, Gregory House, who is the head of the medicine diagnostics at Princeton-Plainsboro (a hospital). He is very smart and seems to know all the answers to every bizarre case of undiagnosed diseases he receives. However, he is very mean, sarcastic, and doesn't display feelings or affection towards anyone. Many people believe this is because House is in constant pain because of the lack of muscles in his thigh, which makes him a cripple since he can't walk without a cane. Together with his three employees, House solves cases that no other doctor is able to find the answer to. I love this show because House is so funny and he always seems to be able to turn horrible things into jokes, simply because he really doesn't care about them. I think that although he seems really harsh, you can see at times he regrets what he just said or did and all he really wants is to be understood. He treats his best friend Wilson really badly but you can still see that he really cares for him even though he pretends not to. I can watch House for hours without getting bored and I recommend it to everyone.

Blackberry


The best phone right now is definitely a blackberry, it has all the basic things every phone needs but also some extras that make it stand out next to the others. A blackberry is easy to use because there are no real complicated features that can't be understood. Most people think of the blackberry as a big, work phone but there are phone versions from blackberry that aren't bigger than any other phone. I love the blackberry because it has the real keyboard, it is not complicated, and it has awesome applications. It's also very easy to surf the internet or talk to other people by using a normal SMS, MSN or even facebook. My favorite thing about the blackberry is BBM (Blackberry Messenger), which allows you to talk to other people who have a blackberry for free. It's perfect because it is so simple to use and easy to connect with others, you can send photos, documents and links among many other things. It's like MSN but only for those who own a blackberry. BBM is continuously upgraded, and better and newer version come out all the time, and these downloads are for free, which makes it even better. There are many different types of blackberry but my favorite (the one I own) is the Blackberry curve 8520! It is relatively small without making the keyboard complicated to use, a good camera, and has a trackpad (a small version of the ones on laptops). If you are thinking about buying a new phone, you should definitely buy a blackberry!

Carnival


I think it is perfect to write about carnival right now since it is soon here (next week to be more exact!!!) I love carnival, not only because it is a whole week off school, but because it gives us a whole week to relax after starting the stressful life of going to school and we can just travel and be with friends and family to have fun. This carnival I'm going Rio de Janeiro and I'm really excited about, it is the second time I go there during carnival and I can't wait to go back there. Like last time, I'm going to see the Carnival train, which is so exciting and fun, and since this is my last carnival in Brazil it will be good to end it in the sunny city of Rio. I'm planning on getting really tanned and enjoy the week off school. Carnival is a great week to relax and forget about school for a while, and give all the students a chance to enjoy themselves. No matter if you're staying in São Paulo or traveling to another city or country, I'm sure that everyone will have a great time and agree with me when I say that Carnival is one of the best parts of the second semester of school :)

(The photo is part of Carnival train that I saw two years ago and if I don't remember wrong, it was the first one that came during the train.)

Sleep

One of the worst things with school is that we can't wake up whenever we want, we never really get to sleep as long as our bodies should. When I wake up for school, I'm almost always tired because I didn't wake up by myself but by the stupid alarm. However when I do get to sleep as long as I want, I tend to wake up feeling nice and alert because my body got the hours of sleep it needed. Not only is sleeping extremely comfortable and relaxing, it is very important and to be healthy we need to sleep. Many teenagers tend not to get enough sleep because they go to bed too late, which is usually caused by them not wanting to sleep, or they are very stressed with school and other factors that they simply can't. Although most of us know that sleep is extremely necessary to be healthy, many people still don't sleep enough and don't seem to try and do something about it. I know that I love to sleep but sometimes I don't sleep enough because I don't have time or I want to read my book, stay on the computer, or watch some TV program, so I stay up late although I have to wake up early. Nothing is better than waking up feeling completely rested and just knowing that you just had a really good night sleep.

Losing Track of Time


When you are doing something so fun that you simply lose track of time, all of sudden hours passed and you didn't even realize. I love when that happens because that really shows you enjoyed yourself and didn't care enough to keep checking what time it is. I know that when I'm bored or I am doing something really dull, I keep looking at the clock because I just want time to pass. But then when I do something extremely exciting and I don't want the moment to ever end, it passes by in what feels like a second. Isn't that just so ironic? When you want time to pass, it doesn't but when you don't want it to, it goes by way to fast! Losing track of time is a great way to show that you actually relaxed and just let lose for a little bit. You didn't let yourself be defined by what time it was because it just didn't matter. It's like when I go out with my friends and I have a time that I have to leave but I just don't look at the clock all the time because I'm simply enjoying myself so much I don't see the purpose to why I would want to know what time it is.

Shopping


When I'm having an awful day, I find that something that can always cheer me up is shopping. It's the perfection of finding a pair of shoes or jeans that can make you feel so fulfilled and happy. I believe shopping can take your mind of the troubles that you are facing and just let you relax to do something that is truly exciting. It can be a pair of earrings to a dress, it doesn't matter the size as long as you like it and it was exactly what you had in mind. It can just cheer you up in a second. Shopping is a way of meditating (it might sound stupid, but it's true) because it is an easy way to enjoy yourself and find excellent things instead of worrying about school or other problems in life. The best thing about shopping is when you find that perfect thing that you weren't even looking for but when you saw it, you directly knew it was meant for you. It is such a great feeling and can make you forget everything around you since you are only thinking about that dress, shirt, or pair of jeans that you just bought. I also like coming home and I start putting the clothes in the closet because it gives me time to admire the things I bought and just imagine myself wearing them to some special occasion or just simply for school the next day. You don't even have to feel sad to enjoy shopping, you can have fun shopping any day, any time.

BIG 8


BIG 8 is a basketball and soccer tournament for people in the Varsity teams (15 years or older). BIG 8 is one of my favorite things during the whole school year because you get to meet new people, play sports, and have a lot of fun. This year will be my second BIG 8 as a basketball player, and I can't wait to go. I think it will be very exciting especially this year because all of my closest friends are going. One of the best part of this tournament is the game playing because here people actually come to watch the games and cheer for the athletes, which barely ever happens at Chapel. At BIG 8 there is actual cheering, and people, who show their support for you and your teammates. This tournament brings together eight different schools from all over Brazil, and even some other countries. This makes it even better because you get to interact with new people and make new friends. It is also a great way to have an amusing time with the friends you already have. You get to be together for a week and it usually brings you closer together. It's a awesome memory to have because you can look back and see how easy and fun life was, even if it was for only a week. And of course, another good thing is you miss school :)

Cinema

There is something so different from watching a movie in the cinema compared to watching it at home. It doesn't matter if you have a surround system or a big screen at home because there is something so different with going to the cinema. Not only is the screen huge, but it's totally dark and you feel like you are in the movie because everything is quiet and everyone is concentrated on the movie (at least if it's a good one). The cinema I prefer right now is the one in Shopping Cidade Jardim, the seats are really comfortable since they are formed so you can lie down and the sound is awesome. The food that you can buy is completely ridiculous, they have champagne, petit gateau, and all other sorts of things (they still have typical cinema food like popcorn of course). It's definitely the best cinema I've ever been too. However I don't think it really matters which cinema you go to because today most of them have equal quality and high standards. You'll probably have a pleasant time going to the cinema, and it's very cheap too which is always a plus. Going to the cinema is a great way to hang out with friends, and just do something simple but still fun.

Memories


No matter what happens in life, no one can take away your memories. You can lose absolute everything but at least your memories will always be yours. There are sad, happy, horrible, funny, tragic, embarrassing moments that happen throughout a person's life. Even though people say they would only like to keep the good ones, I don't think they really want to forget memories just because they were "bad" because it shaped their character, and might have changed their perspective on things. There are many things in life I could live without, but my memories are not one of them. I just can't imagine forgetting or losing all the moments I've experienced throughout my life. My memories are mine, and all material things in life don't measure up to them, and definitely not to the people in my memories. They can make you happy, feel good about yourself, make you sad, ashamed, and 1000 of more emotions that would take the whole blog to write. In the end, you are left with your memories, and it is one of the most precious things you have in life.

Sports


There are so many sports these days, including soccer, basketball, handball, volleyball, swimming, horseback riding, cheerleading (yes it is a sport), skiing, gymnastics, the list goes on forever and ever. Practicing sports are good for your body, and mind since you are exercising but still having fun and usually letting go of all your stress. I think sports are a a really good way to relax, and just enjoy yourself while you are still improving your health. I'm in the basketball team in school, and I have also been a cheerleader. Many people say cheerleading is not a sport which is a total lie, people say that because they have never been part of a practice! Although I'm only doing these sports I like a lot of others, such as soccer because it is a great team sport, where many people can participate. Several people don't like to exercise because they think it's boring to go to the gym by themselves , but doing a sport with your friends is a awesome way to stay healthy, and have a great time.

Internet

I don't see how I could actually survive without internet after being used to it for so long. It's not like I can't be without it for a week or two, it is just that I can solve so many problems and do so many things on it. I can find answers to almost any thing I would need help with, talk with friends, play games, make new friends, buy things, waste time, have fun, watch TV shows and just relax. The internet is important in almost everybody's lives today, and as technology gets better, and the internet improves, I think it will just become more and more useful. Internet is such an obvious thing these days, and most people take for granted that everyone have access to it. Of course, this is not true but most do even if it's not at home, they can go to an internet cafe, or maybe use the internet from their school or work. It's not good to spend hours and hours surfing on the web, but there is nothing wrong with doing it every day for a moderate amount of time. Internet is part of most people's daily lives today, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Magazines


When you just feel like reading something fast but that is still interesting, a magazine is a really good option. The information is small, and one magazine includes so many different topics, for example the magazine "Seventeen" has quizzes, interviews, fashion, interesting facts, competitions, gossip, and a lot more. I really enjoy magazines because they are faster to read than a book, and sometimes when you are too lazy to really focus on what you are reading, at least you can look at the photos and it still makes sense. It's a great way to relax, and it's something that everyone can appreciate because there is a magazine genre for everyone. There are magazines about fashion, science, history, gossip, politics, culture, psychology, sports, religion, cars, etc. So there will always be a magazine out there which can please and satisfy your interests.

Lazy Days


I love lazy days because they just let me relax, and have some free time for a change. It's important to sometimes just do nothing so that a person can forget about their many problems, and take time only to let go of all tension, even if just for an hour or so. Being stressed is really harmful not only to people around you but to yourself too. When you are stressed you tend to be more angry towards the people around you, and easily irritated, but you are also tiring yourself out, and might have trouble to calm down. Although everyone needs to have lazy days, some people need it more than others. I believe students in high school and college, who tend to be exposed to a lot of pressure that may result in feeling stressed, should try to fit in more lazy days than others. It doesn't have to be a whole day but it can be a day where even if you are doing homework, you still take some time off to do other stuff that are calming such as reading, watching TV, exercise etc. Anytime I don't have homework, which happens ones every century, I like to consider it a lazy day because even though I do things, I tend to be more relaxed and happy.

Books

Reading a good book is a great way to relax, and even for just a couple of minutes, forget about all your problems. An excellent book makes you forget about your surroundings, the date and time, and just forces you to keep on reading although you know tomorrow you won't be able to wake up. I love those books where it feels like I'm a part of it because everything is described so well in the book that it makes me believe I'm actually there watching and participating, rather than just reading it. There can really be pleasure in reading as long as you pick a book you will like, and that is your style since then you will probably want to read it instead of just reading it because someone told you to. Some books, I even enjoy reading again because I just love them so much, and can't get enough of them even though I know what will happen. An awesome book also leaves me thinking about it after, dreaming about what it would be like if I was one of the characters or what I would do in one specific character's situation. I love basically all genres of books, from romance to comedy, fiction to nonfiction.
Some of the best books of all time are:
  • The Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer
  • My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult
  • The Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling
  • Fifteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult
  • The Gossip Girl Series by Cecily von Ziegesar

Family


Family is safety, family is comfort, family is not being alone, family is happiness, family is problems, family is fun, family is friends, family is supporters, family is listeners, family is laughter, family is helpers, family is fights, family is tough, family is hurtful, family is best, family is perfect, family is essential, family is love.
I cannot imagine my life without my parents, and sisters because even though we have a lot of disagreements, I need them. We all need to know we are not alone, and if everything is going wrong at least we know our family will stand by our side. There are no times where I think life would be better without my family, even if we are fighting because in the end those fights don't matter. Our family always has our best interest at heart, which makes them so special because there are not many people in life that would put another person before themselves, and be genuine to us at nearly all times.

Movies

One of the best things in life is to make popcorn, make yourself comfortable in the couch, and just watch a great movie that you have already seen a thousand times but still can't get tired of. There aren't many movies that are really excellent enough to make you want to spend 2 hours watching it again, and those movies that are should be sacred. I tend to get sick of a movie after about 2 times because then I just know everything that is going to happen, and I can't find a reason to waste time watching something that feels like I know it by heart. However, there are always exceptions, I mean there are movies that I can't ever get tired of because they are just all time classics, that needs to be seen.
Examples of movies that I can watch for a hundred times without getting bored by are:
  • "Twilight" (based on the books by Stephanie Meyer)
  • "The Devil Wears Prada"
  • "Grease"
  • "She's the man"
  • All the Harry Potter movies
  • "The Notebook"
  • "A Walk to Remember"

Music

I believe music is one of the best things in this life, a good song can change your mood in seconds. No matter what the lyrics make you feel: happy, sad, excited, tired, etc. it has the power to make anyone feel better, amazing lyrics that touch your heart is sometimes more soothing than getting counsel from a friend. Music is beautiful because every person thinks differently about it, this is because we are all individuals with our own opinions and ideas that make us feel diverse about the same, simple sentence.

Friends


A friend is someone who will be there for you when no one else is, makes you laugh when you feel like crying, tells you the
truth when you really need it,
knows when something is wrong
although you are smiling, doesn't need to say anything to make you understand, listens when you need to cool off, but most important, a friend loves you for who you are.
For example, today I was hanging out with a friend, and we weren't doing anything special but just that she was here made my life much better. We were just acting like children, playing with airplanes and fooling around with my sister but still it was a long time ago that I've felt so carefree. It was just an awesome day with lots of embarrassing stories, and happy moments.
