Fun till last moment!

I know how to have fun myself haaaa...?
At night, wonderful swimming in the beach, hot swimming pool, like onsen and cold water pool...
After all day in activity what's better than a haagen dazs...?

Thanks my life.



Right before flying back to tokyo, swimming in the beach, in the pool, more jetski and more haagen dazs aaaa
aaaa
yokattaaaa, Guam, foi otimo! adorei mesmo.
o pessoal foi muito bacana, a praia maravilhosa, o tempo lindissimo, as atividades inesqueciveis, tudo tudo foi otimo, nao tem nada q nao tenha gostado!

Para-Sailing

Usually 2 people go to para-sail because of the weight... but do you think I would go with someone there? I like doing myself !! argh, everything myself!!
And I went about 35m up, more than others hehehehe
The view was wonderful as the weather was good and the higher I was going the sensation was of more and more freedom.



The water's dark blue from the top was a new color ... the view of the mountains were unique and the boat was becoming small and small...







I got addicted to the jetski, canoeing and snorkeling... the jetski was really fun, the faster better! 110km/h in the 1st try... the next I have no idea as I couldn't even check the meter hohoho

Tumon

In Tumon, downtown, there's the longest aquarium in the world. Some of the fishes I saw the first time, like this very blue fish, with nemos...






and very pink ones, as they had been colored...








As it was probably close to 22:00, the sea-horses were already sleeping... they use well their tails...

What a wonderful life...

Look at this... the beach waiting for me ^-^

I walked all around inside the water as it is not deep at all... I could see people walking from the Alupat Island to the hotel.

Many Japanese though... as expected. And locals can speak quite good japanese.


What a beautiful sunset on the 1st day already huuuuuoooooo
and all for me from my room !!

30C and cool wind, my cough stopped completely... I might have allergy to everything in winter...

It was great to feel perfect and full of energy to run around the beach and get color on my skin...

And of course, as Brazilian, I had to eat the huge 10oz special steak... which was ok, not better than Brazilian churrasco but still fine... I can say I didn't leave anything on the plate heheh

Amazing as I can eat like this... I'm so small and thin... but probably it's because I spend lot's of energy... usually I eat a lot more after the exercises... which makes my weight not changing much the lots of exercises... but I forgive myself as I still can keep my body fine... most of my friends on the same age cannot wear the bikini I can still use... I'm doing my best to keep like this at least till my 40s :D

Going to Guam

Leaving Japan to Guam... from the airplane, a wonderful view of the Mount Fuji!

After 3h... Guam from the airplane. When I took the above picture, I didn't know my hotel was exactly there... and the small island in the middle is where I went snorkeling ^_^

The hotel room was huge comparing with the rooms in Japan ;-)
The bed was comfortable, the room service very good, hotel staff very nice, and the view from the room....
... the small island I saw from the airplane. It's Alupat Island in Agana Bay.

Hamarikyuonshiteien

Yeah, this is the name of the park...浜離宮恩賜庭園
Close to Tsukiji, the famous fish market place...

The park used to be the place where the emperor praticed eagle training things.

Huge park in the middle of the huge buildings, such as Shiodome...

First warm day this year!

Friday

Great lunch time with the team at Kikkon in Sankei Bldg.
They have huge rooms and we had great time.
I got some flowers from the team, which was really lovely.

I'm always lucky working in teams with nice people. HSBC, Reuters, Mizuho. All nice people and I'm glad to have great friends in all the companies I have worked.

Meeting celebrities at "Que Sera"

The handsome guy in the middle is a famous actor in Japan, Sano san. Saturday was his live show, as his hobby is to play guitars and do music live around Tokyo.
The musics were quite old but the performance was really good.
The place's "Que sera!" and it seems famous people are usually there...









I met Kaneko san, who went to Brazil to a report about the Fat Family. He's really nice in person, smiling all the time and his voice is exactly like on the TV... like a happy guy ^-^

Update on Brazil in Tokyo

Every month there's an event presenting the Brazilian news in music, CD and DVD.
Promotted by Mr. Kepel, it was great to hear samba (those themes were famous when I was in Brazil) and new singer like Shirle de Moreira.

Kepel's online shop has many news about Brazilian musics where I got some CDs last year, those I was looking for a long time...
http://www003.upp.so-net.ne.jp/mpb/

He's also has a tour event every year to Brazil and I saw some pictures of him at Milton Nascimento's huge house. woooo

Farewell

One more farewell... Great Dmytro, from Ukrania, is leaving the company and we had a dinner with lots of drink... lots and lots...
We will all miss our "Santa Claus" always laughing and very very patient with everybody. He never got upset with anything... maybe after figuring out his in my blog :O huahuahauaha







And this is the big boss of one of the departments. Not my big boss, but great boss in a party. He's very happy person, very social and drink a lot.
Thank him, I restarted my drinking days. kyaaaaaaaaaa

Which girl doesn't like flowers?

Pink tulip and roses from my colleagues are the only beautiful part of my desk, even in a temp vase ^-^

It doesn't really match with the oracle manual but matches with my pink little pig from Moma (NY).

These flowers I got a time ago, I just didn't have time to upload it here, however beautiful things I have to keep in this blog. Just imaging how long this blog will exist...

Flowers make me feel as beautiful as them. Sometimes more than them. hahahhaaha

8:30

Free band session, bar and very "genki" people in Nishiazabu:
http://www.0830.org/index2.html

Owner's family and friends all very drunk (except the 11 years boy) after 1am in Tokyo was quite unique and fun!

The vocal last night is professional, Kuni, joined the session after his own live show in Ebisu. dasoudesu.

Um dia de cao

Ensolarado dia, temperatura agradavel, dia de passeio em Daikanyama.
Bairro chique, muitas lojas lindas, jeans que custam pelo menos 30,000 yen (quase 300 USD) e passarela para os cachorrinhos ...





Dialogo de cao:
- Ola, seu cachorro. Quanto tempo!
- Oi sua cadela. Ta atrasada hoje.
- Seu rabo ta careca.
- O seu, precisa passar um pente q ta saltando tudo.
- Seu casaco eh muito gay.
- Vai pastar sua vaca!

Homenagens a musicos brasileiros

Aqui no Japao, os musicos brasileiros sao muito queridos e respeitados. Muitas vezes mais do que no proprio Brasil.

Hoje foi a vez que Luizao Maia que esta na contra-capa de muitos CDs (e LPs) tais como Elis Regina,

Tem um grupo muito dedicado aqui em Tokyo, para divulgar e homenagear os musicos e a musica brasileira.


Luizao era casado com uma japonesa, a Yoko, que fala fluentemente portugues. Ela esteve em Curitiba e conversou comigo como se fosse uma brasileira. Na foto, ela esta la no cantinho, assistindo a tudo com um ar muito simples e modesta.

Muitos individuos importantes desse meio artistico tiveram presente. Musicos, produtos de radio e de discos.



Passaram videos que eu nunca tinha visto... de passeios no Rio em iate, shows com a Elis, banda do Luiz, que sempre foi um baixista muito dedicado e tocou ate mesmo depois do derrame.

As ultimas palavras da Yoko no show de homenagem ao marido que se foi... "o bom baixista nunca aparece..."

O tempo eh lindo pelo menos!!

O inverno no Japao, pelo menos em Tokyo, eh muito lindo.
Se chove, vira neve... mas a maioria dos dias eh assim...
se nao for o dia todo, as manhas sao lindissimas.

Os predios aih (chamados torres gemeas de Tokyo) sao o espaco mais caro do Japao. E eh onde fica a minha empresa, ocupando alguns andares, e por falta de espaco, a gente, da area de tecnologia foi parar ha duas quadras, do lado do palacio imperial.

Como as salas de reuniao e as equipes de suporte estao nas torres gemeas, andamos muito durante o dia entre os dois lugares... uma boa forma de se fazer exercicios! e tomar um solzinho, que eh otimo nesse friozao!

Depois do ataque terrorista em Nova York, a seguranca nas torres gemeas virou uma coisa de louco. Tem seguranca em tudo que eh parte e se um dia vc esquecer o cracha ou perde-la, ... olha, ta com um problema serio. So pode entrar uma vez com um cartao temporario e nao pode sair... hahah

Os elevadores nos predios novos de Tokyo falam. Desses predios entao, alem de falarem, vc pode cancelar o botao (reset) apertando 2x bem rapidinho... as laterais sao de metal dourado, que eh pra refletir as pessoas de fora, tem camera muuuito pequenina, tem um sensor super sensivel pra abrir a porta... capaz de abrir com um espirro, hiuahua

Mas o que vale mesmo eh estar do lado de fora, tomando esse solzinho maravilhoso, caminhar ate o palacio imperial e o maru biru (marunouchi building, um dos shoppings mais caros do mundo). Almocei hoje la.. as 3 da tarde, porque estava muito corrido e nao deu pra sair antes...
as vezes almoco la no parque e tiro uma sonequinha debaixo do sol, deitada no carpete verde e no meio de sakuras e arvores centenarias. Adoro o sol!!

Primeira aula

Hoje fui fazer uma aula teste de kung fu... nossa, que puxado... mas como fazia taichi chuan em Curitiba, foi facil aprender alguns movimentos.

O problema eh que kung fu eh muuuuito rapido, quase nao se ve os movimentos de tao ligeiros q eles sao...

Kung fu eh uma das bases da arte marcial, origem na China, praticantes de todas as idades!! hj tinha um menino e uma senhora fazendo a aula tbem.

Tem que se ter muita flexibilidade e uma coordenacao motora para ficar no ar sem tocar o chao por ... hmmm

Regras na empresa

Eu nao sabia que essas regras existiam ate entrar numa empresa japonesa. Antes na Reuters, nao tinha nada disso...



Por exemplo, numa sala de reuniao, vc nao pode sentar em qquer lugar.
As cadeiras que ficam do lado oposto a porta sao para as pessoas de maior cargo (que geralmente sao mais velhos que vc). Se clientes ou visitas estiverem presentes, os lugares deles sao do lado mais longe da porta...



Ah, sofa eh so para visitas, mesmo que seja 1 visita so e esteja faltando lugar, ninguem pode sentar do lado da visita!!







No taxi tbem tem lugar certo...
Eu pensando q aqui tbem era "damas first"... que nada...
Chefe ou cliente entra 1o.

o pior lugar atras eh no meio entao quem tem cargo menor senta la.





Se nao for taxi aih a regra eh diferente.... acho q essa regra eh seguida no brasil ...







Esse eh no shinkansen ou qquer outro tipo de trem...

Poucas pessoas sabem dessa regra, mesmo entre os japones.








Aqui eh no elevador... eu nao tenho problema, pois sempre fico no meio hehehe

Natto

Fermented soya beans... well... rotten I mean...

one of the most healthy food (terrribly smelling, sticky, arghhh) we can find here...

if you can eat it, you're brave!

so I'm brave (@_@)

Do you think everything is small here in Japan?

It's the best and biggest strawberry in all world!! for sure.
Sweet like "me" hahahahah, just kidding, it's really really sweet.

Just to see the size, the ring is normal size, a Brazilian ring, the only one I found to make the comparison heheheh.

I can eat all the pack, 12 huge strawberries in one atack.
