Long time no see uh? heheheeh. I've been lazy to write here lately. Besides I couldn't switch on my home laptop for a while... stupid ME dropped beer on it!!!! And I wasn't even drunk... But the good news is, it's alive and running now ;)

Well... the news is: both university courses finished and I got A in both! So happy! Now I've already started the second class for UC PM certificate... these classes are on Saturday, almost 8 hours! but it's worth it, I'm finally learning how to use Microsoft Project, nice indeed!

Life in California is getting better and better. Now that the weekdays classes are over, I'm having more time for fun and to myself. I was finally able to do my laundry before my underwear finished, hehehe. We didn't travel lately... even if it's summer we've been a little laaaaaZY. Today we were supposed to go to the lovely Brazilian restaurant in Santa Cruz, or to Sanfran for a festival Roberto invited us... but ended up we didn't do neither. The weather wasn't so nice in any other city, but even if it was sunny in San Jose I didn't put my foot outside today. Well at least I cleaned the bathrooms urght!

Ah, I got a nice one. I went to zumba classes with Vivi and LOVED it, it's so fun! it's very similar to body Jam in Brazil, but it's only latin and kind of hip hop songs. Really fun. I wish I could move my hips like the other girls do... but well practice leads to perfection, and in this case also to loosing weight! good GOOD! :D

We've been to 2 nice concerts in the past weeks: Coldplay and The Fray. Both were really nice, but I just have one thing to say: concerts here are completely different from anywhere else I've ever been. Probably because they are so used to go to concerts here, people are really relaxed. So relaxed that they don't even sing... but that's probably because they don't know the songs. You see many families with small kids, so it gave me the impression that it's a normal family program... they go even if they don't know the band... just go there with all the kids, put their blankets in the lawn and do a nice picnic while the band plays. Different isn't it?


Today's new word: bumping uglies!!!!

Fu**ing s**t we got a fine!!!!

.
It was quite a stupid parking fine... but the main thing is that we didn't understand the sign! It was written: Permit Parking 6pm to 2am, and we understood that we were permitted to park between those hours (it was 7:30pm), but NO, no no. What the sign meat was that to park in that place between 6pm to 2am, you NEED a permission!!! And there you go, we got a fine and need to pay for it on-line now.

Next news is: We don't have money in our credit cards! Can you believe that? on Saturday we bought our bikes, and these exceeded the credit card limit, so we won't be able to use it until next month. Was the limit very low or the prices of the bikes very high? hehehehe.

This comes to the next thing: I GOT A WONDERFUL BIKE!!!!!!! Really it was love at first sight! I loved it ! The price was reasonable, it is a good violet/white bike, really it is wonderful! It has only one gear, but I don't mind because probably this is the main reason why it is so light! I can't carry it with one finger if I want! It is super coool!

Mine is white, Rafa's is black:


Yesterday (Sunday) we went to do the Los Gatos trail, which is a bike trail that goes from our city to near the office, It was awesome, we will sure do it a couple of days a week, it is 9 miles (about 14km), have nice views of trees, lakes, people, animals... it is a really nice ride, and I'm really glad we can come to the office by bike sometimes, it must be relaxing...

On Friday we went to celebrate Lucie's birthday at the Beauty Bar, a bar where you can do you manicure while drinking and enjoying friends... a very nice idea :) It was really fun with all the caipirinhas and long islands... hehehe. By the way, I have to pay drinks for the girls in the office now, they kept paying it for me on Friday!! Next time ;). After that we slept at Luis house... which is REALLY nice! I loved it, it is a studio, but it is in a nice place, and very nicely decorated... loved it! Luis took us to the twin peaks and to have the best hamburger of the city... Yummi!!!

So, another week starting... many plans for this week: Stanford classes beginning, University of California classes beginning (PMI), tennis classes beginning (all IF my credit card starts to work), and also hopefully yoga classes... NICE!
