My Sister's Keeper

I just finished reading this great book, My Sister's Keeper, by Jodi Picoult. I started it on Thursday but didn't read too much. Today I told myself that I wouldn't put it down until I was done with it, and so I did. It's a great book, I love the way it was written.

Here are some quotes from the book:

"In that special corner of hell, there's probably a throne for those of us who try to capitalize off our pro-bono work." (Campbell, page 322)

"The human capacity for burden is like bamboo - far more flexible than you'd ever believe at first glance." (Brian, page 341)

"... maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but rather what we're capable of when we least expect it." (Anna, page 528)

"I realize then that we never have children, we receive them. And sometimes it's not for quite as long as we would have expected or hoped. But it is still far better than never having had those children at all." (Sara, page 669)

The movie is coming out June 26th, but I would suggest you to read the book first. There are many things that they change in the movie, but the most important thing is that you cannot understand the characters without reading the book, and that's what makes it a great story!

6th folder, 6th picture

I saw this on Bia's blog and thought what the heck, let me see what I will find in my pictures' folder, 6th folder, 6th file.

And this was it. It was taken on September 20, 2007, shortly after I had started college. It figures. LOL The CN Tower couldn't be put more in the middle?

Anyway... enjoy... if you can! HA!

What the f*** happened with me?

Watching some Pink Floyd  (official site) videos on youtube and wondering... I grew up listening to stuff like that... and thought that I'd be different from my parents, different from people who came before me, we, people from my generation, would change things...



It's just like Elis Regina singing Como Nossos Pais (just like our parents):
"Minha dor e perceber que apesar de termos feito, tudo, tudo, tudo que fizemos,
Nos ainda somos os mesmos e vivemos como os nossos pais" (lyrics)

"my pain is to realize that after everything we have done, everything, everything, everything that we've done,
We are still the same and we live just like our parents did"

I did my own version of the same thing.

it's funny to hear their conversations.

Sunday B&OO^% Sunday

In bed with a terrible cold. Watching tv, the women's network. Gonna watch a couple of movies later.. The Lucky Ones and Rachel Getting Married. I have so much to do and I can barely stand up, feel dizzy and every part of my old body aches! Tylenol is kicking in right now, so I feel a l.i.t.t.l.e. better, thank you! =)

Did a photoshoot yesterday, it was great! Girls were amazing, I am very happy with the shots!

I need to go to the library and return some items that are overdue and couldn't be renewed (someone else has requested them). After watching Blindness, I wanted to read a Jose Saramago book, got Death With Interruptions and All The Names. I started with the former, very interesting plot, but for the life o me I couldn't keep reading it! Saramago summarizes his own literary voice: “chaotic syntax, the absence of full stops, the complete lack of very necessary parentheses, the obsessive elimination of paragraphs, the random use of commas, and, most unforgivable sin of all, the intentional and almost diabolical abolition of the capital letter…” I will try to go back to him later.

Have you seen this cool application, Shelfari? Check mine out, I need to add it to the blog... lazy....

Random quote

"Life is literally like a glass. You look at it and it seems perfect. Then in the blink of an eye it falls down and breaks."

4 more weeks of school and I will be done... The gallery show will be in May, downtown Toronto, and graduation in June (Living Arts Centre, Miss.)

We are now working on our final portfolios, among other things - we are still getting new assignments from teachers, which is really unfair and kinda stupid, with all the work that we have to do for the portfolio (which also includes an online website).

I've been shooting for my portfolio since last week, and it's been great. I am shooting the residents of a nursing home, I apologize but I cannot share any pictures right now. I will have a few of them on my website once I am done, and I will probably be using them for my gallery show in May. Will see.

Face flat down...

Nothing serious, I promise. I was just watching my dd playing Skate on Wii! =) Have you tried Wii? I have. And I suck. The only game that I can play well is the fishing game, that's all.

I got a notification on my TweetDeck (yes, I tweet, don't ya?), and following the user's links I ended up on her blog! oh wow! Bento! yummy! Check her out: Adventures in Bentomaking by Pikko. You can tell she is a Lost fan! =)

While I am here, I'd like to share this cute video, this kid is so cute, it will make you smile!
