Sapatao??? Estava numa loja de esportes comprando uma chuteira nova quando dei de cara com esse tenis tamanho 53!!! Minhas havainas parecem ate de crianca ne? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Big foot? I was in a sports store buying my soccer cleats when I saw this huge pair of tennis shoes... size? 53!! (or 16 in american standards).. it makes my flip flops look like they are kids' size

Sem vergonha na cara - Totally Shameless

Hoje quando eu tava assistindo ao jogo Italia e Australia eu me lembrei que meu amigo Italiano riu do Brasil por ter ganhado da Australia por "so" 2X0. Enquanto eu celebrava a vitoria ele falava "ahh Perai Nataly. Estamos falando da Australia ne?".. Bom.. hoje a historia foi diferente. A Australia dominou o jogo inteiro enquanto os Italianos se arrastavam no campo. E no final um Italiano se joga na area e o juiz marca o penalti. De que vale ser honesto ne? Certamente uma vaga nas quartas de final nao valem...

Today when I was watching the Italy vs. Australia game I thought of my Italian friend who was making fun of me because Brazil only won by 2x0 against Australia. While I was celebrating our victory my friend was saying "Come on Nataly... We are talking about Australia, ok?".. Well... today it was a different story. Australia played better the entire time and the Italians were dragging themselves on the field. At the end, one Italian dives in the area and the referee gives them a penalty kick. Is it worth to be honest? Certaintly not to get a spot in the quarter-finals of the World cup.

Why did I go to work today? - Porque eu fui trabalhar hoje??

Nao ha nada pior do que ir trabalhar quando o seu chefe esta de mal humor. Voce pode estar tendo o melhor dia da sua vida, mas se o seu chefe esta de mal humor... Ja era!! Ultimamente a minha supervisora esta sempre de mal humor. Eh quase impossivel ficar alegre em ir pro trabalho... Por Favor, SORRIA!! um sorriso faz uma diferenca enorme no dia das pessoas.

There is nothing worse than going to work to face your boss in a bad mood. Lately my boss is always in a bad mood! You might be having the best day of your life, but if your boss is in a bad mood.... It is almost impossible to enjoy going to work... Please, SMILE! Your smile will make a huge difference in someone's life.

Putz, que calor!!

43C em Sacramento... ninguem merece! Ontem nem o lago serviu pra dar uma refrescada. O Kuba reclamava que a agua estava muito quente! Eu reclamave que tinha muita gente na agua e nao dava nem pra nadar. Um sol quase insuportavel, banda mexicana, criancas correndo e gritando pra la e pra ca... Nossa... como eu queria estar em Pira curtindo a nossa praia vazia.. Saudades de casa!

43C in Sacramento (105F)! No one deserves that! Yesterday not even the lake was good enough to cool off. Kuba complained the entire time that the water was too hot (and no wind = no WINDSURF!). I was complaining that there were too many people in the water and that you could not even swim. We could not stay in the sun anymore, we could not take the Mexican band anymore or the kids running around and screaming. Gosh.. I wish I could go to Piratininga and enjoy our empty beach... I miss my home!

Todo mundo querendo tirar foto... um barulhao danado com aquelas cornetas... --------------- Everyone trying to take pictures! It was very loud because a lot of people had those horns...
