Irish Referendum Hi everyone! How are you spending your weekend? The sun is shining here in Brasilia but unfortunately there is no beach here, just a lake. I miss the sea so much!! Anyway have you heard about the irish referendum? The outcome has been utterly surprising!! I´ve always thought of Ireland as one of the most catholic Country in the world but what happend last Friday highlighted a will to change. And I liked it! and you? What do you think about it?

Football and brawls! Hi everyone! Do you like sport? I do like it, I like playing football, running, boxing and yesterday, after 2 long weeks I finally played football again. The last time I played, I hurt my left foot and I hadn´t been able to play since then. Fortunately nothing went wrong yesterday...well almost nothing. I don´t know you but I don´t stand fanatic people when it comes to football or sport in general. I don´t like those kind of people who take a simple match, in a simple small neighborough, too serious; people who think they´re going to win some kind of trophy when in reality they´re supposted to play for fun. Competitiveness is good but when an adult ends up picking a fight with a 16 years-old boy, it´s too much! Aren´t we adults supposted to show what fairness in sport is?

Monday Hi everybody! how are you? A new week has started and I´m one week closer to my return to Italy. Am I happy? Not so much because the news from Rome are not good at all. Anyway, I found out a good way to calm my mind: workout at the gym! Man, It´s soooo good and literally helps me to pour out all the bad thoughts and the aprehension from my mind, I highly reccommend it. :) What do you usually do when you want to get rid of your anxiety?

How is your Saturday going? Hi everyone! How is your Saturday going? Mine is all about relax, I´m in my room now listening to some good music, waiting for my girlfriend to come back and then we´ll watch movies untill late, eating pop-corn and drinking cola or guaraná (very common here in Brazil, not so easy to find in Rome though). I also feel so proud of myself today because some of my girlfriend´s relatives joined us for dinner yesterday and I made pizza for all of us, and I must confess that despite I´m not a cook, I made a very good pizza! What about you?

Let´s talk about english slang! Hi everybody! I have a question, what is the most common slang in your country?

The day is close I´ve been living in Brazil for one year and it seems like I arrived here yesterday. I´m in my house now, remembering all the things I had to pass through to get the Visa, feeling sad because I know I´m going to leave Brazil in 3 months. Unfortunately I have to come back Italy and the only thing that makes me feel happy about it is that I´m going to meet my family. It is true that Italy has more to offer than Brazil in some ways, especially when it comes to health, but after one year I started to consider this country my home. Besides, I have only visited 2-3 cities here. I wish I visited more! However I know that I´ll be back here one day, so all I have to do is save money and use it either to buy an apartment in Brazil or start a business in order to live the rest of my life sitting in front of the ocean all day, reading a book, drinking coconut water and listening to my favourite music! :D

Friendly reminder Yesterday was mother day and my girlfriend´s mother arrived from Bahia. Me and my girlfiend went to her sister´s house to greet her. My girlfriend´s family is big, 9 siblings, a lots of cousins, a lots of nephews/nieces etc. We ate lunch all toghether untill 5pm when we realized it was the time to come back home. When we arrived at home one of her nephew invited me to play football with him and I accepted. Since I´m a genius I thought that I could have been fine playing without shoes... never had I been so wrong!!! After 20 minutes I had to stop playing because I wasn´t able to move the left foot properly while my right foor was bleeding due to a tackle. This reminded me why I hadn´t played football any more!
