and after a month... August 8th, 2010

Hi students and friends

Toronto students...are you all back to Sao Paulo...safe and sound? hope so...and thanks for the bunches of "thanks" emails...that was fulfilling...

so here I am back to Winnipeg...and just when I thought I would get a terrible depression after 16 days with my dear students and freinds...guess what? it was a relief to be back to my little bridcage! and I am quite happy over here...not even sure if I will return to Sao Paulo he he he...

the reflection today is: it is impossible to be an academic and a blogger!!! I don t even have time to watch the news !!! no time to blog at all ...I am soooo sorry...have to give up this blogging career ha ha ha...and I thought well..nobody is reading anyways right? yeah Sandra elias? or Irene? or Pat Tsuchyia? yeah I know that the blogspot.com's are all blocked for comments and this is sooo bad cause i have no idea who s reading this or not...anyways... THANKS my ( stalker heheheh) friend Armando whom I had the pleasure of being my reader (and who taught me how to make Ceviche humm yummy!!!)...here I am blogging again...soooo many things happened during this month that i ll summarize it in some sentences that have driven my life this month;

1. live happily, each moment. My theater teacher at Celia Helena used to say in class that WE ACTUALLY CHANGE WITH EVERY BREATHING... this was powerful. I know it sound so cliche, but this is such an important cliche...
2. when you are alone, take this time for a self-reflction...and if you have difficulty to be with yourself...buy any "ordinary self-help" book like GRACE NOTES (by Alexandra Stoddard)...and follow it through the year...read it every morning...that will help you deal with with your most inner complex issues
3. make friends! (this does not need explanation right?)
4. read a good book ( well if you have been my student for a long time you probably know I Rread five books at the same time)...anyways pick a good literature book and read thoroughly ...this might change your approach to life!
5. talk to your family! always
6. plan your day, plan your week and your month!!! plan plan plan...organize HOWEVER, leave space for the little or big surprises LIFE brings you! out of the blue, a bad hair day may turn into an UNFORGETTABLE DAY!
7. if you dream, remember to play your favorite songs along...dream a little dream of me with Nora Jones is nice suggestion

well that is it!
many kisses and hugs
Daniel
