Not posting, saving money and travelling

How you doin'?

Once again i've been pretty absent, having about zero time to post here, between class and working at a clothing store, i wasnt having much time at all for me, for my health and even for all the paper i should deliver whatsoever.

Being a complete nerd like i used to be and not being able to do both (work and study - studying fashion is not as easy as it seems after all!!), i chose over my studies, of course :).
Did i say i already started two other courses before this one and didnt finish?? Well, you see my despair to finally finish this one, dont you?! Haha.

Of course that along with my job went my possibilty of saving money to travel for a long while like i was planning. It's already hard to save anything with a job, imagine without it =/. Like the curious unquiet soul i am, i cannot give it up already, so i'll keep saving somehow and i will go travelling, mark my words! ;)

In the end, all the real good things are not that easy to get, right?

The good thing is? I'm going back to my hometown in my looovely Bahia for a few days soon, can't tell how homesick i am!! It'll be  a breath of fresh air moments to relax and happiness, that's for sure, cause all is good in Bahia.

Happy Friday Thirteen for you all :)

Rain in Rio and new bags

It was fairly sunny these days here in Rio, but all of a sudden this storm started =/
I just hate storms..no kidding. A very good thing to do when its raining anyway would be watching a good film, wich i just did by seeing "Into The Wild" there's just not enough words to describe how much i loved it!!

I highly recommend it my fortunates!
Another great thing to go through time when its raining is reading a good book, u might think its childish reading fantasy books or whatever, but i really like it, its not dull like the every-day routine of our lives so yeah, i do find it entertaining. The one of the moment is "Beautiful Creatures" so much more there to be said than on the film, so...read it, don't watch it!

Well i was supposed to write here about these bags a week ago, but oh well, you all know me! :D
A few weeks ago i went to this great store and fetched myself two greeeat bags! Its all leather so i'm sure itll last for a long while. (i hope)

This one because its quite basic and itll go with pretty much anything...

This one because its shineeey!! And it is really big so will fit all my junk in :D

Anyways, short post for you just so i wont lose the habit here...^^"



Cheerie Cheers my forunates,

Places You Should Go At Least Once | Arpoador - Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro

Amazing views of the amazing city of Rio de Janeiro, one of the most beautiful sunsets you'll ever see and beautiful people! These are some of the great perks of going to the Arpoador Stone to watch the Sunset. (or,  you can go to a Lual and maybe see the sunrise :), i'm sure both night and daily views of the city from Arpoador are just breath taking!)

During the weekends, the place will definetly be pretty crowded, but if you go on a monday afternoon for example, it will be much more confortable and you'll have more space to admire the views from the stone.
Let me tell you the water of all the beaches in Rio is just...well, ice cold for me! (i'm too warm blooded) also, the waves are almost always rough and strong so, if you're a surfer, feel free, but if not, i do not recommend =P
The sun on the other hand, is always available! So make sure you enjoy it properly!
Is very easy to go from Ipanema to Copa walking, but with a sight like that...why bother?!

Anyways, i've decided i have to enjoy more life and the surroundings, i mean, i am lucky enough to live in Rio when sooo many people would like to be in my shoes ^^" BUT, Since i have a life and can't just travel all around or just enjoy days like that everyday, i'll still make myself a promise, that at least once a week, i have to go somewhere beautiful, fun and simple, like that....and then, i'll keep the registration of that here. :) In case you are wondering why, it's just i realized i spend too much money on parties and bars, etc.(superficial things and places) while i spend almost nothing going to beautiful, enjoyable places like Arpoador, or even making small trips to places nearby, even though i absolutely LOVE to travel and think that i can learn and gain MUCH MORE from travelling and seeing good places than spending money with material shit or alcohol, also, i do believe that doing that, my daily happiness will increase and thus i'd be more relaxed hahaha. (cudos for me, lol)
That being said, hope you enjoy the tip and can put that place on your list ;)

Cheerie Cheers,

Out in the World

So, i must begin by saying this is my 3rd attempt of having a blog...or something like that. That being the case, i wont promisse that i'll keep this one for long, let's just..see how it goes :)

The thing is, now that i'm out of my parents house and into the University Dorms, i found out that being on your own can suck a whole lot sometimes ^^" Specially when you get ill (my case) and have to suddenly make a surgery but have no one to accompany you, how nice is that?!
Well, i started to put myself down a lot about it,but then i remembered that, "Hey! This could be worse, so cheer up!", yeah, i think that being this ill made me re-think a bunch of stuff, like the "i'm never getting married" thing, and..no, that's basically it! hahaha Kidding, but really, it makes you stop and think that in life it's not always just about partying and good memories, we all have our share of bad, unfortunate happenings, but then again, most of the happenings, if not all of them, are quite fortunate, after all, there are bad that comes for a greater good. (that's what they said!)
I've never been the kind that dreams of getting married and having kids really, GOD NO, i mean, c'mon! Having a great career and travelling all around just always seemed more appealing to me, go figure.
But i started to think, now, that if you're travelling all around and always focused on work, who's gonna be there for you when you need? In the end, i do not wanna die alone, lol, but i don't want to get married either, does it make any sense?

Aside all this philosophical stuff (NOT), i've been thinking that for this blog, i'll try and post experiences of trips and places i've been, or that i will be, etc. As well as some daily happenings that catches my attention and such. :) I might also make a post about myself, but only if posting here become something regular, otherwise it just makes no sense to me that i do so.

Anyways, enjoy my mental breakdown, lol, you might hear from me again :)

Cheerie Cheers,

Jess
