Diary 1 Today, me and my friend went to shopping mall to shop food at the supermaket and to go for a walk. Here in Brazil I think that the clothes are SO expensive! When I talk with other people from around the world, they say that find the same clothes with I don'nt know, maybe 50%, 60% cheaper!! We went by bus and then we had to walk too so it was very exhaustic... As always, we decided to have a fitness lifestyle, so we bought only natural, no sodium, no fat food.. haha it is a little hard because when we see chocolate I feel that wish to eat. But the key to keep on the diet is: Don't buy junk food. So, you even you want to eat, you won't have in your house hahahaha Byee!

My resort experience I was fourteen when I have my first job experience! I worked on my summer vacation during two months: December and January. Let me tell you what I learned. I have the opportunity to work in differents departments. In the kitchen, I dried the dishes, I bended the napkins. In the restaurant, I set the tables and did some decorations on Christmas and New Year's Eve. In the rooms, I set the beds and decorated them with flowers and chocolates. On the administration, I checked all the fees of the guests to their check out. I did it for two years and I learned so much with this experience! Because of all the responsabilities, I had to have so much attention with all the things that I was doing,,, And at the end of the day I was so exhausted that I started to understand my father's tiredness after work...

Introducing Myself Hello everybody! I'm Aline and I'm brazilian. I sutdy law at University of São Paulo, located in Ribeirão Preto, a city of São Paulo state. I'm here to learn English because in may of this year, I'll have an interview (I'm freaking out already). But I'm loving this site because everybody here is so nice and everybody helps each other. So, my goal with this interview is to work during my college's break -my summer vacation- in United States! I listed many topics that I want to talk about and they could ask me... Thank you for correcting me! It really will change my life :) :) kisses and hugs

GUARANÁ Guaraná is a typical fruit of Amazônia, a state of Brazil. Here, we usually don't ate this fruit natural, raw. It's really used to do a soda of this fruit and personally I really love this soda. It is used to do a capsule containing guaraná powder and it's very used to give energy to people. I used so much them when I was studying to pass in a test. I don't like so much of its appearance, but I can't deny that this fruit is really great.

OUR MOTHERS...SZ If we want, we can do everything, right? No, for me. My mom always says to me: serenity to all the things that you can't change; Courage to modify things that we can and wisdom to distinguish one for another. Why is mom always correct? I don't know if it's too blather of my mind but I think that it's SO COOL that even we are very different from each other (japaneses, american, brazilians, russians....), our mothers seems to be the same haha Have you ever didn't pick up the umbrella when your mother said that it would rain? And then, it rains...
