Revisando a dieta

Dixie's just sent me this videoThe option Real Player is not working, try the other one(Windows Real Player. Unfortunately I missed the Sunday's news, but here it is: Subject: Fox News Channel Program


"Dear Friends: I hope you were watching Fox News Channel's Housecalls this past Sunday (4/18/04) morning with Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld, the host of the show and medical consultant for Fox Television. Dr. Rosenfeld is an internationally known physician and widely published author. He was asked about diet and supplements and he reiterated what he said on a previous show a couple of years ago.

Dr. Rosenfeld emphatically stated that there is NO SUBSTITUTE for fresh fruits & vegetables and recommended that we all eat 5-9 servings per day. He then said that because many people do not eat the needed amount of fresh produce, he recommended Juice Plus!! His comment was Juice Plus is the next best thing to eating the 5-9 servings per day and gives an abundant variety of fruits and vegetables and grains without the salt, sugar and water. He emphasized the process of production used by Juice Plus and stated that his family has been taking the product for several years.

For those of you who are taking Juice Plus, rest assured that you are getting some of the best nutritional value available. For those of you who are not yet taking it, I challange you to try it for 4 months--it could change your life!!

Yours in Health,"
Dixie

Juice Plus

Today I really did good. I hate bragging, but just today and today only, I signed up five people for Juice Plus+. And also I signed up K.'s daughter for JPCR which is excellent!!! Monday's gonna be busy, placing all these orders. Actually what makes me really happy is seeing people getting conscious about their kids health and their own. It's rewarding, because with Juice Plus+ everybody wins on the process. I refuse to say I sell Juice Plus+, I prefer saying I distribute it.
Tonight we're going to a Chinese restaurant with a friend couple.N. has been working downstairs like a mad man, making lots of progress, but it's still a long way to go. Maybe two more months, (just being optimistic) and the dust and mess will be gone.
I love to think one day coming home and being able to use downstairs, sit down and relax, in a clean dust-free room.

Mad Cow

Apologies for being so sparse lately. Unable to sit down and write on account of a crazy life. Good news is that I got an office account. I'll be starting next Monday and it's very exciting for me because this has been my dream for many years. Switch from houses to offices.It's definitely much less work and more din din...Besides offices are in general easier to maintain opposed to houses.I'm very pleased to work with British folks. They are excellent people and I crack up laughing with their sense of humor. They make you feel good and they compliment you on every silly detail. They use lots of fantastic, marvelous, tremendous...adjectives are key words!!!They get excited like they have this inner positive energy towards life and people.
Last night we rented Kill Bill Vol.1. Is Quentin Tarantino a mad genius or a crack head? I don't know the answer, but I know one thing, I'm never on any drug when I watch his movies, even though, I love all of them.Even Vol.1's chopping heads and blood-spurting, Hong Kong, kung fu action. Bla, bla, bla...
My ancient history feature is literally H I S T O R Y. I can't make it work...

Revisitando o passado

Hoje falei com uma grande amiga minha, a Sandra. Nós nos conhecemos deste o colegial e ela sempre foi e será uma grande luz na minha vida. Acreditamos em carma, em outras vidas, em pensamento positivo em coisas boas para nós e para os outros.
Ela escreve como ninguém.Suas poesias são lindas e quando ela escreve ela consegue tocar os corações com as palavras.
Como eu falei com ela, bateu uma saudade inesperada de São Vicente, das praias do Guarujá,de tomar água de coco no quiosque da tia, de não fazer nada; só olhando o mar, de comer pizza de catupiry, de ir até a ilha Porchat para dançar, do Clube dos Ingleses no sábado, do Sírio na sexta-feira, do caldo verde do Almeida, dos meus amigos do banco: Ranieri, Bete e do irmão dela, o Sombrinha do Fundo de Quintal, do Paulinho, da Sandra e da Graça.
Saudade da Ana, do Saturday Night Fever, de usar melissinha, meinha Dancing Days,
de ver Sol de Verao, Dancing Days e aquela que tinha a Odete Roihtmman (era Dancing Days?)
Saudades de ver Túnel do Tempo, Jennie é um gênio, Perdidos no Espaço,A Feiticeira, da Rhonda, Mary Tyler Moore. Saudade do Topo Giggio.Do colégio "Caetano de Campos" em São Paulo, dos meus amigos de ginásio de lá, Da Silvia Maria Galante, Sun Rei Din, da Hannah, do Victor Hugo, do Ricardo e do Marcelo.
Saudade de ouvir todos os álbuns dos Beatles em Brasília, das festas da vizinhança, quando eu matinha uma paixão secreta pelo meu vizinho e eu esperava, ansiosa por qualquer desculpa para vê-lo.
Saudade do Lollo (meu chocolate favorito) e de tomar Ovo Maltine. Bater com leite em pó para ficar bem grosso.
Abrir uma lata de leite condensado e comer com uma banana inteira.Saudade da minha botinha de cano longo branca, do meu biquini amarelinho de quando eu tinha uns 9 anos, acho.
Saudades de ir para águas de Lindóia de férias. Saudades da primeira vez que eu vi o mar quando desci para Santos de ônibus . Foi uma experiencia marcante!
Saudades da nossa casa em São Vicente na Pedro Alvares Cabral, saudades da minha mãããããããããe!

Oglethorpe, there I go...

I'm very happy. My application has been accepted at Oglethorpe, now I have to call them to make an appointment to register for the next term which starts May 10th. They actually offer two 8-week sessions each Spring, Summer and Fall. Norman gave me these books !!!!!!
and we celebrated it in style. I'm really pleased with been accepted specially at Oglethorpe, first because it's near me. (Opposed to Agnes Scott)and obviously because it's an accredited school and last but not least because the course "Organizational Management" is right up my alley.
Eeeeeeaaaaaaaa!!!!!! Changing subject a little bit...
Norman and I have different point of views in many aspects. Other day, we're discussing how blogging for me is an expression of what I usually deal with on my daily basis.It's a blank page where I can write down my frustations, my opinions, my inner, deep emotions without having anybody pointing fingers at me and saying, no, no, no. Or being worried what I'm saying is politically correct or not.
For him, on the other hand, it is just unnecessary exposure of your private life. It's invasion of your privacy.It's nobody's business.
I started thinking of it very seriously, I don't agree with him 100%.I'm not a showing off type of person in any way, and bothers me he feels this way.At same time, if it bothers me is because deep inside I feel it's true. Any psychologist on call?

Girl´s night out

Girl´s night out
Ufa!! Weekend was busy. Friday night was "girls night out". We had fun at Plaka, a bar on Chestshire Bridge. Belly dancers show started at ten, and after that everybody decided to become a belly dancer, dancing on the top of tables.
Then Sat. Juice Plus's Boot-Camp was full of excellent information and good contacts for the future.Sunday barbecue at Chris's and Riane's.Marjorie and Steve, Janine and Vera, Yolanda were there and was cool and breeze outside. it started at 4:00 and we stayed until 9:30. I'd say I had fun but I'm exhausted.Taking it easy today, since is my day off.Even God had his, right?

Estereótipos

Eu resolvi escrever este post por conta da polêmica criada pelo tema "estereótipo daqui e de lá. Eu moro nos EUA à 8 anos e nunca eu cruzei com nenhum americano, com QI normal, que fizesse comentários do tipo: Brazil tem macaco na rua,que ninguém passa fome, porque tem bananeira por todos os lados. etc.
Nem todos os americanos sao intelectuais ou preocupados com a cultura e geografia mundial. Depende de com quem voce se relaciona é que resulta este tipo de comentários.Existe ignorância em todas as sociedades e eu nao me sinto ofendida pelo fato de algumas pessoas nao conhecerem minha cultura.E eu também nao acho que vai fazer mudar ou aumentar o respeito que eles vao ter por mim se o meu país é de primeiro mundo ou terceiro. O que é importante é a imagem que cada um de nós como indivíduo projeta no mundo lá fora.Se você tem boas maneiras; se nao bate a porta na cara de ninguém numa loja, se você fala baixo, se você entende que o seu gosto musical é só seu; o vizinho nao têm a obrigaçao de escutar a sua música alta... Ou se você tem a famosa atitude do "cheguei olhe para mim com a "famous brazilian fashion" (bunda de fora, peito de fora), nao cumprimenta ninguém, nao pede desculpas, nao pede por favor, nao diz obrigado,e assim vai...
Posso citar kilos de exemplos de como a sua atitude vai determinar se você vai ou nao ganhar o respeito de um americano.Tudo é uma questao de bom senso. Se você responde agressivamente a uma pergunta você vai receber agressividade de volta.
Um dos comportamentos que eu mais noto aqui na comunidade brasileira, é que o brasileiro quer que o americano se adapte a eles.Você nao está mais vivendo no Brasil, você tem que se adaptar, ou pelo menos tentar se adaptar e respeitar as leis daqui. Aqui, graças a Deus, nao tem o jeitinho brasileiro.E igual para todo mundo. Nao interprete e nao se ofenda com tudo o que as pessoas dizem levando para o lado pessoal. Se voce acha que é crítica, aceite; se você acha que mudando vai te beneficiar. Se você acha que é crítica destrutiva aí sim, argumente. Mas nem tudo que é dito, é dito para diminuir você ou da importância do que você é como ser humano.

I have to apologize to the people of mundopequeno.com. They accepted me as a member right after I had posted my last blog complaining about it.On the process of getting my membership, I gladly ran into 5 to 7 new bloggers.One I really liked, I'm linking it to my page. the other one, she's been living in Sweden,and she's a founder of an organization in Brazil, Grupo Origem,that for 15 years has educated mothers-to-be about the importance of breast-feeding.
Living in Sweden hasn't stopped her from keeping working, now as a consultant and webmaster for a site Aleitamento Online, last year IBEST's winner for best site on the cathegory:woman.

When I have time to go to my template I'm adding her blog to mine.

Some commonly asked questions about Juice Plus+

What should I expect from taking Juice Plus+?

Many people report that they begin to feel more energetic, that they sleep better, that they get tired less easily... or that they simply"look better" after takingJuice Plus+. People carrying extra weight may start to lose a few pounds, and notice that their cravings for unhealthy food are diminished and that they begin to crave for more nutritious foods(like fres fruits and vegetables) instead.
Sometimes these changes occur in the first several weeks of taking Juice Plus+; other times, over the course of several months. In fact, taking Juice Plus+ is not always accompanied by a particular reaction or "feeling". Good nutrition and preventive health do not always produce results that are immediately noticeable, but rather pay dividends over the course of a lifetime.

The only reason why I'm posting these FAQ about Juice Plus+ is because I've been taking for 8 months now. I feel more energetic, my hair grows twice as it used to and my nails are growing stronger than ever. And today, for my surprise I went to GYN annual visit.She askedif I was taking any vitamins I said just Juice Plus+ and she praised me. She obviously knows it. Nice!...

I can't wait to watch the Oscar next Sunday.I really like Renee Zellweger, but I don't think she's gonna win. The point here I'm trying to make is, her resemblance to the Whirly Pop. I've never seen such a round face in my whole life. I truly believe her mother had a craving to suck a Whirly Pop when she was expecting her, then she was born with this face
really she doesn't even have eyes,(poor woman) like normal people. It might be fun, looking at herself on the mirror and been puzzled with the resemblance.
Talking about candies, if you are one of those people who decided to continue sucking retro and discontinued candies that remind, one way or another, how old you are, give yourself a treat going to hometown.

FBI's Week Most wanted



Worth his weight in gold -"Steel Pulse"

I've been to the beauty parlor and I got 3 prospective orders on pills. One girl who just had breast augmentation just flashed her tits to everybody who happened to be there at that moment (including a guy, who was having his hair highlighted) She totally ignored him....... He seemed terribly embaraced, but obviously, she didn't pay too much attention to him.She was too excited and busy talking about how painful the recovery has been, and that she almost fell in the tub the other day, bla..bla..bla..
It was funny...
I came home very late this afternoon.I'm getting so ready to go to bed...
By the way... I just got this ring for Valentines and I just lost it somewhere, between inside my car and somebody's else trash can. I'm so mad.I literally searched every inch inside my car and couldn't find it.The weirdest thing before leaving that morning an inner voice told me... Why don't you put the ring away and wear it again next Valentines? As usual, I didn't hear my inner voice.... Do I ever learn in my life?.....I hate myself.
The facts of life- "Talking heads"

Monday is my day off.I decided taking a week-day off instead a weekend day, so I can go and run errands, go to the bank, or just stay home taking my free HTML classes on line. I keep telling my friends who get scared at the simple tought of turning their computer on.Go and sign up for classes on line. Sorry, only in Portuguese could get altogether in a blog group.It would be fun.I quite understand everybody works so hard and so long hours... Usuallly when we get home; just eat and shower and talk on the phone with couple friends as a just short introduction to get prepared to go to bed and start over fresh next day.Learning is never too much, specially, if you can learn for free. Another course I found free and on the convenience of your home is a Portuguese course. It's for either ones who don't speak the language or for us who speak, but are in need of a brush up . It's worth to give it a try and they also test you on how much knowledge you have of the language. Go to here.
Last night was awfully cold outside and inside.I immediately thought of

Ten reasons to not live in Moscow



. It's dull and drab.
. I don't like caviar.
. They don't have the old and good alphabet like barbaric and Latin languages do. They have a sort of secret code.
. Everything below 68F is cold to me.
. There's no sense of fashion, culture or musicality.
. Their cake tastes like ladyfingers.
. I would be cold regardless the season.
. Their currency is weak.
. It's very cold.
. Every Russian is a spy in potential.
. I like ancient architecture, but soviet's is too solid and heavy.

Southern Hospitality - "Ludacris"

N.and I watched this movie

last night, the same author Kevin Smith the one

who wrote Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob.
N. has these co-workers who lend him weird movies.He told me:- "They are kids". I asked:"How old kids? " Ah. "twenty five, maybe twenty seven"-I answered: "twenty five is not a kid, N." - He replied:" They are(pause) compared to me"... Sometimes I get depressed with his line of thoughts. I started wondering; Is this society giving too much importance to youth? or does every society on the planet give it too much thought? Well... Look at the magazines, reality shows and the media in general.Regarding to reality shows, nobody in those damn shows look like real people.They all look well groomed, well spoken, well dressed and on, on and on...I really believe they are all losers. But hey,nobody cares if they're losers or not. They just need to be good-looking losers...Then I thought, maybe if I lived in Provence-France all this would be different. I started thinking of
10 reasons why I'd like to live in Provence
.

1- I would speak French with no accent. Perhaps some...
2- I could afford to buy truffles in the market for same amount of money i buy oranges in the USA
3- Euro is stronger currency than dollar.
4- I would have a little house and I'd plant lavender in the back yard.
5- I would be closer to Paris, so I could sightseeing Paris, no rush.
6- Being close to Paris, maybe I could afford to buy some designer's clothing.
7- climate is always moderate.
8- I could start making house-wine and save a lot of money
9- I would shed lots of pounds. Fat free food.
10-Yeah, I would plant lavender everywhere.

I started thinking why Kurt and my brother Edson died so young.Of course, I don't have the answer.My brother was the kindest human being ever existed on this planet. Kurt Cobain was the greatest poet in the world.
I can give 10 reasons to God to not call the good ones so soon, but it makes all sense.HE wants the good souls next to Him.I missed my brother. Today has been 5 years and I couldn't let the day pass by without saying a prayer to my brother...I love you a lot and I always will."love you

Tom's Diner

"Iam sitting the morning
at the diner on the corner
Iam waiting at the counter

for the man to pour the coffee
An the fills it only half way
and before I even argue

He's looking out the window
at somebody coming in
"It's always nice to see you"

Says the man behind the counter
To the woman who has come in.
She's is shaking her umbrella

And I look the other way
As they are kissing their hellos

I'm pretending not to see them
and instead I pour the milk
I open up the paper

There's a story of an actor
Who has died while he was drinking
he was no one I had heard of

I'm turning to the horoscope
and looking for the funnies
When I'm feeling someone watching me
and so, I raise my head

There's a woman on the outside
Does she see me?
No she does not
Cause she sees her own reflection

And I'm trying not to notice
That's she's hitching up her skirt
And while she's straightening her stockings
Her hair is getting wet.

Oh, this rain.It will continue through the morning
As I'm listening to the bells of the cathedral
I am thinking of your voice... and of the midnight picnic
Once upon a time

Before the rain began
I finish up my coffee
It's time to catch the train."

by Suzanne Vega- "Tom's diner"

Beautiful Day - "U2"

Morris is a calico cat.He thinks he's human and when I'm mopping the laundry's floor where his litter box is, he senses it. There he comes, I tell you, every time... and dump a dough.Unbelivable... And he gives me that look.Pissed off.Ah!!! I talk to him, "Morris why don't you get a damn life and get out of my way when I'm cleaning?" No answer.But I learn how to communicate with cats watching this Russian guy trainning cats for all sort of jobs. Never, never look a cat straight on his eyes. Squint and blink and position yourself on their side.You then, create a immediate bond over them.Then, you can pet them even on their bellies, which is an amazing thing.If a cat let you pet him in that area is because they really love and trust you.No, Morris is not my cat. He's my customer's. I actually have a 16 year-old dog.He was adopted six years ago.He's very old and grumpy now.N. and him can't get along.They have a north and south type of relationship. Boomer.jpg
